James Floyd @jamesjawa.bsky.social · 03/10/2026If I learned anything about life from pharmaceutical ads, it's that there are a lot of little colorful main streets with random street fairs filled with people who like hiking. 010
James Floyd @jamesjawa.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I am super excited! Next week I am going to Tunisia with Galaxy Tours to see Star Wars and Indiana Jones filming sites, including the Lars moisture farm! I wonder where I can find some blue milk! 2110
James Floyd @jamesjawa.bsky.social · 27/09/2026What kind of clothes does a computer wear? Hardware! 020
James Floyd @jamesjawa.bsky.social · 11/09/2026When Porkins is advised to eject in A New Hope, what was the plan after that? If the Rebels win, Death Star blows up, Porkins goes boom. If Rebels fail, Porkins gets captured at best, left behind or shot down at worst. But I guess one thing at a time for survival. But he didn't eject. #starwars 311

James Floyd @jamesjawa.bsky.social · 19/08/2026What exactly are they gathering in Magic: the Gathering? I don't think it's magic. Turnips, perhaps? 1/1 tokens? Just more cards? Turnips, it is. 000
James Floyd @jamesjawa.bsky.social · 19/08/2026There is a decent chance that I've come up with this joke before and posted it. So.. umm.. his group was the Pastry-sans? 020
James Floyd @jamesjawa.bsky.social · 19/08/2026What did Saw Gerrera say when he went to the dessert shop? Pies! Confections! Every day more pies! 181
James Floyd @jamesjawa.bsky.social · 17/08/2026When you go back to where you were, usually to find something, we call it retracing your steps. So when you went that way the first time, was that tracing your steps? 110
James Floyd @jamesjawa.bsky.social · 14/08/2026Straw definitely works. I'd worry about anything you'd soak it up with. Probably will take more than 5 seconds too. 110
James Floyd @jamesjawa.bsky.social · 08/08/2026Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are people in space. 051
James Floyd @jamesjawa.bsky.social · 07/08/2026The Fleet Science Center blog has some of the highlights of the "Grogu's World: Science of the Mandalorian" panel they graciously let me moderate at San Diego Comic-Con in July: www.fleetscience.org/blog/2026/08...fleetscience.orgPutting the Sci in Sci-Fi: Our 10th Year at San Diego Comic-Con | Fleet Science CenterScience can start anywhere, whether in a classroom or a comic book. 031

James Floyd @jamesjawa.bsky.social · 31/07/2026I am not sure what I think. D&D with a Star Wars skin? Or a SW RPG with a D&D base, but then building into mechanics that better fit SW? Or a MTG/Star Trek thing - gateway drug / cash grab? 100

James Floyd @jamesjawa.bsky.social · 30/07/2026So, what else would you add to this list? Fun fact: Winston cigarette company sponsored the first two (and pre-Pebbles) seasons of the Flintstones, and so Fred was puffing on them as product placement. 000
James Floyd @jamesjawa.bsky.social · 30/07/20264. Donald Duck Orange Juice. What do ducks have to do with orange juice? Donald in particular? Still, with Donald being a farmer sometimes, it makes more sense than Flintstones vitamins. 210
James Floyd @jamesjawa.bsky.social · 30/07/20263. Flintstone Kids vitamins. They still make them, but when was the last time you saw any Flintstones stories airing? 10 million strong and growing. 130
James Floyd @jamesjawa.bsky.social · 30/07/20262. Pink Panther & Owens Corning fiberglass insulation. We made it pink to differentiate us from our competition, but now we need a cartoon mascot to really sell it. Kids love playing with fiberglass! 130
James Floyd @jamesjawa.bsky.social · 30/07/2026What are some of the oddest products that have licensed cartoon / comic characters as long-time mascots? Here are some of the ones I came up with: 1. Snoopy & MetLife insurance. I imagine the deductible on a dog who constantly sleeps on his roof is pretty high 160
James Floyd @jamesjawa.bsky.social · 29/07/2026Thanks to all who enjoyed my panels. I had a good time. It takes a lot of time to organize a panel: finding panelists, building a slide deck, meet deadlines, but it pays off! 020
James Floyd @jamesjawa.bsky.social · 29/07/2026My measures of panel success: I had fun, the audience was engaged, my panelists had fun, and only a few people left. And my two panels hit those marks! 120
James Floyd @jamesjawa.bsky.social · 29/07/2026As a Comic-Con panel organizer / moderator, I'm so chuffed to meet people later at the con who recognize me and tell me how much they enjoyed the panel! 120

James Floyd @jamesjawa.bsky.social · 14/07/2026New episode of @starwarsologies.bsky.social out - on "Awe" in Star Wars. We had a really fascinating discussion with @ethnoethereal.bsky.social about all sorts of aspects of awe, from what astronauts feel when they view deep space, to humility, curiosity, Force ghosts, being a fan, and even Firefly. 030

James Floyd @jamesjawa.bsky.social · 09/07/2026House, why are you 81 degrees in here at 4.30 pm? Right, I forgot to open doors and windows for a cross breeze. #noAClife 120
James Floyd @jamesjawa.bsky.social · 05/07/2026You lived at a better time than me. I have... umm... MC Hammer. 020
James Floyd @jamesjawa.bsky.social · 05/07/2026Would explain some of our infrastructure issues. Mayor Fry, the city's foundations are crumbling because, well, rock n roll is not structurally sound. 010
James Floyd @jamesjawa.bsky.social · 05/07/2026Oceanside CA? Then we could have a retreat and SDCC! 000
