It’s been clear for years that we lost the “War on Terror” and it increasingly appears we lost the Cold War as well. (At least I believe the moon landing happened, so there was a consolation prize I guess.)

The eternal struggle between “I need to be informed so I can let others know so they can do something”, “I need to be informed so I can protect myself and my family”, “I am simply interested in the world as a curious person”, and “I would like to not be unable to function due to 24/7 hopelessness”

Sadly, that's probably the one which makes the most sense given his puny, demented little brain. (once again: his kind have the hypocrisy of thinking submitting to someone is the worst thing you can do AND YET they constantly seek someone to top for them.) okay, I'm done. thanks for joining me.

shawnomancy @shawnomancy.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

(This is about to be a real insult to submissives here, but I'm not meaning it to actually kink-shame; I'm looking at it from his demented point of view.) So did he mean, "I moved on her like the insecure submissive who desperately seeks validation from my superiors that I am?"

100

shawnomancy @shawnomancy.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

Alternatively, maybe he really meant to say "I moved on her _like_ she was one (even though she wasn't)." Okay, so you're admitting that you treat women badly _even when you know_ they deserve better. Or wait ... did he mean the word in the sense of being "someone's", i.e. submissive?

100

shawnomancy @shawnomancy.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

Did he mean "I moved on her as if she is one herself?" Okay, so now you're saying you moved on her as though she is precisely the type of woman you love to insult by using that word. So you're saying you _deserve_ to be treated in the way a "bitch" would treat you, since that's who you moved on?

100

shawnomancy @shawnomancy.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

Given that the word is almost invariably misogynistic, did he mean "I moved on her like a woman would"? Because aren't women usually the targets of that word to guys like this? If he was calling himself a woman, maybe all his transphobic fans should be reminded that he did so.

shawnomancy @shawnomancy.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

all these years later and I wonder what the fuck the phrase "moved on her like a bitch" was even supposed to mean in _his_ mind. I realize I'm trying to make sense of the ravings of a demented (even at the time) Hitler wannabe but goddammit (this is a journey)

And there you have it. I’ve met and got autographs from several of the MST3K folks, all wonderful, and I would love them all to know that Roger Dean was made aware of them (and has, I hope, not taken any legal action). (I follow @billcorbett.bsky.social here although he was not in that one.) FIN

shawnomancy @shawnomancy.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

When he opened it I could actually hear a choir of angels making the noise you hear in every YouTube clip at moments like this. So he asked me to repeat what it was called. I did. “Mystery Science Theater, Three Thousand, The Movie.” He wrote it down and said “I shall have to see it! Thank you!”

110

shawnomancy @shawnomancy.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

So I told him, there’s these guys who make fun of movies, they love making cultural references, they mentioned you. He said “No, I didn’t know about that. Hang on.” And he pulled out his sketchbook. Reader, something I said made Roger Dean. Pull out. His sketchbook. And he grabbed a pen.

shawnomancy @shawnomancy.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

There’s a moment in that when a spaceship is seen landing in a weird alien landscape, and someone (I think Mike) says “They’ve flown into a Roger Dean album cover!” and someone replies “They’re very into Yes on this planet.” (They were riffing “This Island Earth”; oddly a good film for them.)

shawnomancy @shawnomancy.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

I met him once at a prog-rock festival; we were mainly there to see Van der Graaf Generator, but I had brought my copy of Yes’s “Fragile” for him to autograph. While he did I had a sudden moment of inspiration and said “Did you know you’re in MST3K: The Movie?” He blinked. “No, what is that?”

shawnomancy @shawnomancy.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

a conversation with @tje1964.bsky.social has oddly reminded me of one of my favorite anecdotes, so here you go: How I Told Roger Dean About Mystery Science Theater 3000. Roger Dean’s name should be well known to 70s classic rock fans; he has done many album covers, most famously for Yes.

shawnomancy @shawnomancy.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

I _think_ it was at the start of one of the 4 programs on the tape, so he could wait to the end of any of the 4 of them, hit the program advance button until that one, and it was ready. Weird to think about it today but 8-tracks had that advantage. The downside of course was chopping long songs up.

shawnomancy @shawnomancy.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

Also “Close to the Edge” is one of if not my favorite song on this planet and “Power Windows” has some bangers so, thank you for beginning my day “with a friendly voice; a companion unobtrusive”

shawnomancy @shawnomancy.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

seeing “Jazz” reminds me of my college roommate who used an 8-track (no really) of it in an old alarm clock radio to wake us up every morning, Freddie Mercury: “Iiiiiiiiiiiibrahiiiiiiiiiiiiim ……” very effective. also I was just doomscrolling while trying to get out of bed and the memory jolted me

shawnomancy @shawnomancy.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

yeah, for having a secret evil agenda, y’all are remarkably bad at getting anything you actually want (in all serious, fuck transphobes, all the way to hell)

Navratilova is a pick-me PoS, as is any queer person throwing trans people under the bus. Being “gender critical” isn’t gonna save your lesbian rear when the Nazis win. Jesus fucking Christ, leave trans people alone.

You probably think this is a touch of hyperbole. If you do, that just tells me not only are you not paying attention, you are actively ignoring all the trans people this has happened to. This is life in the UK as a trans person in 2026.

There’s also the fact that I would deeply resent anyone telling me I’m not a “real” adherent of my faith, so I won’t do it to someone else about theirs, no matter how awful I think they are.

I want to applaud you for this, Rabbi. The “no true Scotsman” fallacy is often used to say Christian nationalists aren’t “real” Christians, with the effect of letting other Christians — I’ll say it — wash their hands of them, which is wrong.
