A friend just pointed out:

"ADHD creates impulse control issues and, consequently, advertising takes advantage of a disability. Ergo, ad blockers are assistive devices and interfering with their operation for commercial gain constitutes a willful violation of the ADA."

Let’s do this.

A tiny Snapping Turtle (newly hatched?) on the way to the pond today.
It got a helping hand. Live long, little one!

This series' first issue was one of our original #DollarBinDiscovery topics! This was the last one I needed to complete the entire run... it was weirdly hard to find.

This week's #Monsterdon movie is CREATURE WITH THE ATOM BRAIN (1955), by a goddamn landslide. It's about a Nazi creating atomic zombies to help a mobster regain power? That actually sounds kind of cool, I wonder how they'll flub it. Long talky scenes? Big slabs of silence? Misogyny? All this and more, I have no doubt.

It's free on Tubi and YouTube and there's a version on Archive.org for downloadin': https://archive.org/details/horror-films-of-the-1950s/1955-06-22+-+Creature+with+the+Atom+Brain+(1955).mp4

"Do what you love and you will never work a day in your life."

It doesn't work like that. It's more like this:

"Do what you love and the industry will systematically destroy all joy you once found in it."

Once again it is an hour until #Monsterdon, the weekly monster movie watch party. If you want to avoid a bunch of toots about a hokey sci fi flick, block the tag.

This week features STRANGER FROM VENUS (1954), in which a bug-eyed monster tries to get Earth to turn down the bass! No, I think it's about nuclear disarmament or somesuch.

We start at 9pm eastern, and you can find the movie on Tubi or YouTube. See you there!

People looking. The grand tradition of Sci-fi movies.

Are....Are you sure?

Like I get that there's some sort of Spatial Distortion trying to protect the town from the Dividing Driver's effects here, but that seems like it might've had some adverse effects of its own! #GaoGaiGar

We were promised a pretty sharp jacket/dickey combination and the film fell short.

The Venusian ran so weird that he died. What an ending.

I can't help but feel like memes are a way to prey on people who never feel like they fit in by giving them passwords to finally magically "fit in" somewhere. Say the thing and you're in the club.

I feel like they get people to just parrot what the space that feeds the memes says, and can prime them for further programming.

I think this is how 4chan works, and why I'm not a fan of regurgitating memes anymore. Most of them were never funny to begin with, anyway.

The only cyborg I've seen get it right is Inspector Gadget.

Because I can probably name ten people right now who would go for the "motorized screwdriver in the finger" surgery, yet it so rarely shows up in fiction.

But that's the transhumanist future I'm waiting for

It's the first #Caturday of Pride Month, and I've updated my foster kitty food donation wish list for June! It feels like everyone wants to adopt baby kittens right now but I'm hopeful once food and vet prices start going down there'll be more interest in young adults. But at least food donations like this let the rescue I work with spend more on our own vet bills. 💙 Thanks so much!

A young tortoiseshell cat seen from the side, laying attentively on a fur-covered white cushion.
A large vertical cat tree with an orange tabby on the top, a blue tabby in the middle, and a calico on the lowest level in the shot. They all look pretty relaxed and cozy.
A silver tabby cat stretched out on the top shelf of a cat climber, looking cozy but alert, like he just woke up.

Hello all, I had a mastodon account before but I didn’t really use it and I forgot what the details were so I made another one. Glad to be here. To put something kinda interesting here’s my 200x era nerd setup.

Pride is not the opposite of humility. It is the opposite of shame. This is why we need Pride Month.

The fact that classic Marvel UK Transformers artist Geoff Senior still draws Transformers is great but even cooler is he still often draws/paints Death's Head, the character he created with Simon Furman that was first in the Transformers stories, then crossed over into Marvel UK's Doctor Who comic stories and then the Marvel superhero universe too. :O

And Senior's art style is still awesome. I love it. So dynamic :)
