Just a gentle reminder you could be listening to David Wilcox right now.

I'm making pot pies with the seitan that my wife @goldtopgirl.bsky.social steamed earlier. We're so gosh darned wholesome. Happy Thanksgiving!

I've just started re-watching "The Expanse", which is a truly wonderful experience...if you like sci-fi.

Share a horror TV show you love. 📺😱 My choice: Star Trek TOS. Mike Stoklasa of @redlettermedia.com has often suggested that many episodes of the original series are straight up horror stories, and I find that an interesting take.

It's funny, I'm Gen-X and I grew up all but worshipping the amazing photographs from the American space program (especially William Anders' "Earthrise" photo from Apollo 8). I agree...why are these pictures not more celebrated?

I wonder if there are graded copies of "Beckett Baseball Card Monthly" magazines from the late 80s out there that people collect.

It's a shame I use my brain to try to remember if Freddie or Eddie was the square Shreddie instead of things like where my car keys are

Check out this bowl of hot peppers my wife @goldtopgirl.bsky.social grew! They're the last of the season...she saved them before the frost arrived yesterday. I want to eat them all right now 💕🌶️ #IGrowHotPeppers

I sure did. I also wrote my name on most of my cards, too, for some weird reason.

For me it was the birth of the Human-Visitor baby in 1984's "V: The Final Battle", specifically the jump scare of the baby's forked tongue. I got so frightened I turned off the television in sheer terror. The next day at school I learned there was a twin...

I stepped outside with our dogs and saw how beautiful of a day it is and thought "Wow, it's a crisp as an autumn apple" and was immediately disgusted with myself

Interesting indeed! I'm just through the forward and thesis statement. It is rather otherworldly to read something so scholarly about something that is contemporary (and in a state of flux). I think I'll need the hopeful bent you mentioned. It's quite a ride so far.

I remember being so excited and enthralled to see it! My first thought was that Enterprise-D looked like it was going to tip over. :) I loved watching TNG each week on my *gasp* black and white television!

It's funny, my wife is now exploring French New Wave cinema right now, and "Weekend" came up in our discussions. I thought it funny to see it mentioned here. I was very nervous about posting and being "that guy" here on Bluesky by making a trigger warning. Thank you, both of you, for being cool!

An excellent choice! Heads up though...(also a spoiler)...this film portrays actual real animal slaughter with no warning. It greatly upset many people in my film class back in the day. Which of course, was Godard's aim.

I'm not proud of this joke. I was really shocked to see you can use a credit card to use the compressor. I remember the old pumps mounted on a wall that had an analogue bell and everything.

I was about to gripe that I had to pay $2.50 today to pump up my tires at a gas station, when in the past it used to be free. Then I realized I'm just complaining about inflation.

Just spent the night watching Alain Resnais' 1955 film "Night and Fog". It is upsetting that it is oddly contemporary.

I must admit I first heard it *coughs* thirty-six years ago when it was featured on the soundtrack "Pump Up The Volume". Thanks for letting me know about that cover by The Specials! I'll have to explore what other treasures they have. I have always known about them but haven't heard them much.
