And then put a banner in front of my notifications (which I still see even if I don't read my timeline), so I said fuck it and hit post, made the swamp … Continue reading "Twitterversary"Read More »

ArianeSpace Flight VV14/PRISMA: A much better launch broadcast than last one I watched, with fewer self-congratulatory political speeches, none of the weird political ads, and a CGI render of the flight track that at least puts them on par with NASA TV; it would be nicer to have camera views of the stage separation and … Continue reading "ArianeSpace and Rocket Report"Read More »

It is 1989. Hot (black) lawyer Florida goes down to a backwoods Texas shithole to deal with rights to a legendary blues man's lost recordings, goes missing, Hap & Leonard cowboy up to find her, and run into the KKK. They have a satchel of guns, it'll work out. Great new and old rogue's gallery … Continue reading "What I'm Watching: Hap & Leonard S3"Read More »

Anthology series of adult SF cartoons, produced by David Fincher and Tim Miller (Deadpool director). Which is like Netflix said "hey, Mark, we made a thing exactly for you!" I <3 you too, Netflix! 18 episodes, I watched 8 so far, will see the rest next binge.

James Gunn un-fired! Hell yeah. I grew up with some of my favorite comics being ROM Spaceknight, Nova, Rocket Raccoon, Adam Warlock (in Marvel Presents, I think?), and so on… the Marvel space series were so much better than their ground superheroes. While the films are a little trashy, they're fun trash, and the music … Continue reading "Guardians of the Galaxy 3"Read More »

Cocoa Dev … Continue reading "Return of the Objective-C Jedi"Read More »

OK, finally done. I hate to think it's gonna do that every new project? Or whenever it updates? Anyway, bbedit .
