"Is the podcast really coming out in 2025?"
I still think so, yes! Might depend on the time zone

Danger: Diabolik and Gamera are the best, but I want to shout out to Parts: The Clonus Horror, which suffers more from a lack of budget than anything else and has some genuinely creepy moments.
Which MST3K movie was actually the best *movie*? Which one has the most non-ironic fans and defenders.
Danger: Diabolique comes to mind (though certainly not the best of the Diabolique films). This Island Earth as well, since they had to pick something a bit more palatable for the theatrical film.

Epstein and sexual selection sociobiology dingdong Robert Trivers talked about "trans-sexuality in humans". Wish I could see what prompted this but I'm glad to know that such an expert for decades only discovered cis women can be attracted to trans women in the year of our lady twenty eighteen.

Bluesky is so goofy. Mandan has one really funny meeting with Trump and I‘ve had to see about a dozen posts being like, “Guys! Trump is still bad. Don’t forget he’s bad!”

Public records requests by @propertyofthepeople.org reveal FBI had access to at least one immigration court watch Signal group—it’s not clear how. But from what we know about how Signal works, it could be the FBI obtained access to a group member’s phone.

Happy birthday, Kamandi!
A splash from my Kamandi stash! #23, my favorite cover of the series!
"Men have killed for fish before...
But these men were TRAINED by them!"
Contemplate that and be enlightened.

The myth is circulating again that it was more radical otg activists and assimilationist gays ("boots and suits") teaming up that was responsible for queer communities' gains late '60s on.
The history doesn't back this up. What actually happened is more revealing. 🧵
