This wasn’t a documentary?

Oof, folks, I see a lot of mutuals with this clearly AI BS account. Let's do better.

Oh? I thought Canada was limiting the number of emigrating Americans.

Trump media post: Canada is destroying itself by allowing millions and millions of people into the Country, essentially unchecked and unvetted, and who are causing problems that will soon be too big to handle. It is a Liberal takeover that will end very badly. Already showing up in their numbers. Big unemployment. ‘Oh Canada! President DJT

So, today was the day to go back and listen to a bunch of stuff I hadn't heard in ages, and I'm reminded again why they were and are one of my very favorites. Started here, and am moving back and forth in release dates.

Oh, my, this new DES series and the “ghost burst” in particular are gorgeous.

I'm not being critical of your post, but that image shows a lot of artifacts from being upresed and sharpened. This one is a bit cleaner.

@pashion.bsky.social I saved this a few days ago, and today seemed the perfect time to share. A kind of lovely synchronicity to these two posts.

The speech bubble meme featuring the empty speech bubble above at the bottom of a still of Bush being told about 9/11, and a text post from low Quality Facts that says, “90% of your brain cells go into hibernation when Mercury is in retrograde,” as though Bush is saying that.

I read this and looked at the pictures regularly from before I could read all of the words, and it had a huge impact that triggered the idea in me that this was the work I wanted to do. Something about it all seemed so familiar! archive.org/details/movi...

Also, a word to my old friend, John Ellis, who was a bigger deal in fandom than I knew at the time we worked together.

"Out of the way, squirt," the burly crook said as he shoved Billie Batson, famed reporter, to the ground.
"We'll see about that," young Batson said determinedly as he landed with a thud on the pavement.
"Shazam!" he cried.
From out of the cloud-darkened sky there appeared a golden bolt of thunder that rang across the metropolis with a resounding "boom." And the mighty Captain Marvel, resplendant in his red tights, white gold-trimmed cape, gold boots, and muscles appeared.
"STAND BACK friend,"
Marvel said to the astonished crook.
"or
might get hurt."

"Nobody can push me around," the crook says as his ax bounces harmiessly off Marvel's head.
"Tsk, tsk," says Marvel calmly. "What a violent temper..."

IT'S BEEN YEARS since Captain Marvel performed his routine heroics in comic book pages and on movie screens. But on Saturday, March 2, at the Salvation Army meeting hall on Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard in West Palm Beach, Marvel, along with his famed counterpart, Superman, and the entire cast of the Star Trek television series, will live again.

I saw it from the beginning, but was far too young to appreciate and understand. It wasn’t until six or seven years later in syndication that it hit me and I became obsessed for life. Happy Sixtieth Birthday, Star Trek.

It popped into my head that these movies got a lot of play on local television when I was a kid, and I am kind of shocked by that given where they were playing at the time, Alamogordo, NM. Guess I was lucky?

I haven’t done a “shelfy” in a while. Not sure what story is told by this collection of books, but it’s right next to my desk.

Books on a shelf, with the titles; Alternate Worlds, Handbook for Space Colonists, Spaceflight Dynamics, The New Encyclopedia of Science Fiction, Trillion Year Spree, The Science Fiction Source Book, Lost Moo , Moon Shot, and A Man on the Moon. There are two small boxes with red labels on the right end that read, Buffered Splitter and Summing Amp both from JHS Oedals, and a small suction-mounted vice on top.

So this one post has been constantly appearing in the middle of my feed now for almost a full day, so something is going on with the site currently. I've blacked out the info because it's not the poster's fault! 😂
