    @epidiah i have a feeling you’re already aware of Iain Banks’ The Culture series but it always strikes me as a deeply thought-out deconstruction of Star Trek

    Vinge’s A Fire Upon the Deep also gives me similar vibes. where Banks’ deconstruction of Trek is kinda political/philosophical, Vinge’s is more high-concept: what if Star Trek had to maintain a minimum level of science fiction “hardness” without discarding stuff like warp drive or intelligent computers?

    i try to remember to untag people if i don’t think they’ll appreciate it but i still forget

    that said i kinda like when people tag me on replies to boosts if it’s a good reply, it’s nice to know people see what i boost, otherwise im just kinda firing the boosts off into the void

    weirdly it is the most customizable app i tried by far, but it weirdly doesn’t seem to have a toggle for this.

    Two tweets from @clhubes Children are so progressive now, I just heard kids arranging a game of house at the park say "should we have a mom and a dad or two dads?" "Two dads...but one is evil." Being evil isn't just for stepmothers anymore, now one of your gay dads can be evil too and I think that's beautiful

    Hey all. There’s a comic book shop near me that’s struggling at the moment. The owner is disabled and nonbinary and dealing with some personal hardships too. They could use some sales.

    They do mail-order, so if you’re in the US and looking to pick up some comics or graphic novels, maybe give them a look? (I bet they can order stuff that’s not on their site too.)

    And if you’re not in a place to order something, could you give this post a boost?

    Here’s their website: https://www.comicsmongers.com

    Started and finished season one of over the last week or so.

    DAMN that’s some good shit.

    I mean, it checks several of my personal boxes—

    • ontological mystery
    • post-apocalyptic lost technology
    • crisis in a closed ecosystem
    • interesting world-building
    • intrigue coming out the wazoo

    —but I think it’s pretty compelling TV independent of those factors. High production value…which has not been the case for a lot of recent SFF prestige TV, IMHO.

    There’s a new commercial for a drug called SOTYKTU, and it makes a point of calling out several times that it’s the first drug of this type that you only have to take once a day

    Why

    Why would you name your fancy new once-daily pill: “so-take-two”

    Dune 2 is a movie that happened

    jepyang OP ,
    @jepyang@wandering.shop avatar

    It’s still weird to me that it didn’t premiere on streaming like the first one

    I don’t even really know how to get excited about movies in theatres any more tbh

    jepyang OP ,
    @jepyang@wandering.shop avatar

    I saw Barbie in a theatre. Was not excited about going to a theatre, but there was enough hype and personal interest that I wanted to see it sooner rather than later.

    I also saw Godzilla Minus One in a theatre, which I was actually excited about doing I suppose. But there it was like…if I don’t go see it during opening week in a theatre, who knows when I’ll get another chance. So it was more like, ok, I gotta see it on a big screen and it is Godzilla, so I may as well be excited about it.

    jepyang OP ,
    @jepyang@wandering.shop avatar

    Oh I also saw a documentary about beavers in a museum imax theatre, which was cool but uh not quite the same as trying to get excited about seeing a Dune movie without Jason Momoa

    jepyang OP ,
    @jepyang@wandering.shop avatar

    Beavers are really fkn cool

    Buying a video game at curbside pickup and met a kindred (ie probably also ) person

    First they showed up with the game still in the security case

    Then they showed up with just the empty security case and no game

    Third time they nailed it 👍
