My Dad saw it on a ship in the Navy a little while after it came out and he was terrified to walk around the ship at night for a bit

I saw Poltergeist (or at least parts of it) when I was probably 7 and somehow that didn't scar me. I'm not sure I knew what was going on though

And they're always dreams that I know are dreams but either can't wake up from or when I do wake up I don't want to go back to sleep because I don't want the dream to start up again

I saw Alien as a young teen and those Aliens have been a core feature in almost all of my nightmares. I don't dream about them often, but when I do, it scares the shit out of me

Granted, I didn't see a ton of movies in my childhood, but I saw some friends were impacted by that didn't bother me. Arachnophobia when I was about 11 at a sleepover (not terribly scary to me although a friend had nightmares). Fire in the Sky at the end of 7th grade (not terribly scary to me...

Roy Cooper's campaign keeps paying for these weird instagram ads that claim that their internal polling revealed that he's in a statistical dead heat with his opponent, so please send him money. It's such bullshit, stop lying man

Astrophotographer Adam (AJ) Smadi caught this image a few hours ago from Washington state. A thin crescent Moon, sunlight illuminating the rugged lunar surface. And 2,400 times farther away—and on the other side of the Sun—mighty Jupiter, and its moons Io (left) and Ganymede (right).
A crescent Moon seen during the day, arcing from upper left to lower right of the frame. At lower centre is the full disk of Jupiter; the small dots to its upper left and lower right and Io and Ganymede, respectively.

I always thought the approach with Discovery (and Strange New Worlds) was the wrong one. Doing fine is a prequel, give us the future of the future. Star Trek's past is *our* past, so let's see what the future looks like now.

I watched Prodigy & I've seen a bit of Lower Decks & Strange New Worlds & enjoyed what I've seen of both but I'm not that bummed to have missed a lot of the other stuff

Yeah I liked the new Trek movies ok (the prologue of Star Trek 2009 is one of my all time favorite segments of a movie) but I'm a 90s trek dude at heart. I didn't watch all of DS9 until a few years ago and I haven't seen all of Voyager but that era is great.

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series
You can’t without supporting Rowling’s transphobic bigotry.

I absolutely love that even writing about these fantastically silly cartoons can get me chuckling. www.avclub.com/coyote-vs-ac...

Coyote Vs. Acme won its case, but still loses to the legacy of Looney Tunes
Even good Looney Tunes movies like Coyote Vs. Acme compete less with Disney, and more with the pure cinema of the original cartoons.

Saw a zillow listing touting the smart fridge and can't tell you how much I need the fridge to be the dumbest appliance in the house. I just need it to be cold. Nothing else. Should be JD Vance levels of dumb, just there without a thought, being cold & impersonal, staring at the couch all day.
