@systemmastery.bsky.social @gurglespasm.bsky.social Just a theory, but taking into account Jef's insistence that the swamp vehicle in spliter of the mind's eye has open air bench seating, the southern accents, and the sadistic Imperial governor, this book may take place on Planet Florida....

@seanthomason.bsky.social @conorlastowka.bsky.social owka.bsky.social As a couple of San Diego Chicken experts, I immediately thought of you two when I saw this while watching some old rugby league games from Australia. Turns out ol' SD *wasn't* the original...

There is so much to love about Death Promise (I'M GONNA BLOW YOUR MIND!) but my favorite moment, as with many @rifftrax.com are the little things. Like in this scene where our hero tries to convince Master Ciabatta to share the NAMES, and employs all his best Acting Faces to convey he is acting.

and I'm incapable of taking a picture that doesnt look like it should be accompanied by a news anchor saying "the suspect should be considered armed and dangerous"
