Oh yeah definitely the one thing sci fi and fantasy has been missing is the male gaze

Despite growing up with dogs most of my childhood, I’ve become increasingly anti-dog purely because most dog owners refuse to train or take care of them. I don’t want to be barked at, I don’t want them touching me uninvited, and many stink! It’s unbearable and yet ubiquitous

This entire thread is amazing

"Israel’s greatest victory to date may be the reality distortion that it’s managed to create around its war on Lebanon, even as it’s killed 1,500 people and laid claim to its land."

And buying Israel's propaganda, while learning nothing from the #GazaGenocide, may be the west's greatest failure.

Hmmm ... I wonder why

Important "is she gay or just an astronaut" update

I had a nightmare last night about my house starting to burn from an electrical fire, frantically shutting off circuit breakers as flames started erupting from behind light switch covers and outlets in the middle of the night.

Means nothing I’m sure 👍

They did the tweet!

Fingers crossed. I struggle with holding the optimistic hope that any of these ghouls will go to jail.

It was not that long ago when conservatives had a chokehold on every branch of Wisconsin government, piles of Koch and Uline money, and seemed unstoppable. People worked FUCKING HARD to change that shit and now look at em. Change is always possible and never ever easy.

Not apologising for flooding the timeline with live news from Lebanon. I don't know how many people I know will still be alive by tomorrow. And all this because the fucking western nations won't call off the rabid dog they created.

counterpoint: making harry potter culturally anti-woke media will force the 'guys in wrap-around shades ranting in their car' demographic to become harry potter adults, which is potentially very funny.

Annihilation put a big goofy smile on my face. Just wonderful.

Four people are now farther from Earth than anyone has ever been, with no ability to talk to anyone back home, for around 40 minutes.

Too bad I’m flying in the opposite direction this week 😭

I am delighted to learn that apparently Dan now lives in New York at least part-time, which means he's not doing this as an Englishman, but as a New Yorker

Dr Who - the time travel show that can deliver new episodes, from 61 years ago.

Camfield directing a Nation script. Nick Courtney. Hartnell looking right at us and saying 'Daleks!'.

Other fans get easter eggs, we get resurrections.

Great article. I particularly liked(?) this part, about the way manosphere talking points were used to justify the shooting of Renée Good at the very highest levels of the US gov. Reactions that say "duh, the right was always misogynist!" while not untrue, miss the point. This is escalating

You better believe I sent Film is Fabulous! more money

Lost Doctor Who and the Daleks episodes discovered in 'ramshackle' collection The Doctor's assistant Peter Purves was invited to a screening of the episodes in Leicester.

two episodes of the Daleks’ masterplan found?!

you know it’s spring when it’s suddenly tornado season

"Nazis were just regular people" is not a statement meant to evoke empathy or to excuse their crimes. It is a statement of warning.

The capacity to be part of and perpetrate atrocities is not limited to "monsters," it is wholly human. It is what we must always be aware of.

Another lovely post, this one about changing as a person and dealing with the guilt of letting go of who you were.

This reddit post is so good. Especially the fourth image where he breaks down what things "cost" once you're this rich. It's insane and it's no wonder everyone with this amount of money ends up demented by it.

he's the Emissary so you have to believe him

Letterboxd screenshot Star Trek Into Darkness (2013) Watched by Branson Reese 28 Apr 2022 Abrams isn't a man so much as he's an avatar of cultural entropy. If you make something popular enough eventually you will die or sell it off and and a person in thick rimmed glasses whose main artistic vision is that he loves to have meetings will take it and sandblast it until it's nothing. I hate to see this happen here but maybe it's good that this happened. Maybe every franchise should collapse into a version of itself that makes shareholders nod and shake each others' hands. We should learn to speak in a language that rich people who don't dream can't comprehend.

i often think about this review

Had a magnificent time at Chicago TARDIS in November and hope to return!

as a KC resident I am so embarrassed Mark Strickson and Sarah Sutton had such a bad first impression lmao

I do empathize with people who ‘fall out of love with doctor who’ after a string of frustrating stories or seasons or doctors. I myself was there circa 2013, but I can’t emphasize enough that this is when you go watch classic who and get a little perspective.
