"He was more than a hero. He was a #union man!"

He stood up to his own brother Quark, and now he's standing up to the Hollywood bosses.

"Hold the line!"

If you're wondering why there are so few news stories about the rise of #Mastodon, it's because nobody is getting paid to game the media about it.

There's no publicists, no cozy ad deals, no suits, no coercion: Nobody is getting rich off of Mastodon

... that's also why it's so enlightening and fun to participate here

Just saw someone express incredulity at the idea of having to do law research decades ago without a computer, since "99.9%" of that "requires" a computer now. I'm gonna need a bit for my brain to stop screaming that it's only "required" because we built a world to center it.

But also I'm a librarian who, in the face of useless search engines and AI lurking around every corner, has started re-educating myself on print resources and research strategies. It is a really strange time to be informed.

The climate *has been changed* and continues to be changed. Trying to tie any particular climactic event to climate change is like trying to identify a shadow at night. There were fires and floods and storms and droughts before. There are more and worse fires and floods and storms and droughts, including in places they don’t normally happen.

Which ones are the product of climate change? All of them. This is our climate, for now, until it is even worse next month.

Verticality was a mistake, humans were not meant to be vertical

Apparently, the easiest way to make melba toast is to accidentally put a dinner roll in the microwave for a minute and twenty seconds, instead of twenty seconds.

So if Vera in Superman III is trans, then our villain, Ross Webster is the most trans-friendly character in the movie, never misgendering her, and calling her "Sis" the whole time.

So this movie was made in 1983. If it's 1000 times more powerful than the averan 1983 computer...that would be....multiply by 1024....carry the one....square of the hypotenuse....my phone is 3 million times more powerful than their supercomputer.

I mean, really...16 colors at 320x200? My phone is 16 million at 1920x1080. :)

Huh. The Superman III character in Vera is depicted as a transphobic trope and the recipent of transphobia throughout the movie. I wasn't expecting that from a movie in 1983. Especially as "comedy."

Which sucks, because she's the most capable character in the movie.

Jenn: "You know, Superman III isn't as bad as I remember it. There's some real heart here in the Smallville scenes. Maybe I'm just misremembering it all...oh."

Movie:

Heh. I always thought she said "The Big Gay-pricot." I repeated the scene multiple times, and I hear it each time.

Does the New York of the 80s Superman and Ghostbusters even exist anymore post 9/11 and Giuliani? One thing I remember saying a lot of was that New York in Ghostbusters was as much a character in the movie as the leads themselves, and not so much in the 2016 movie.
