name a sequel that's better than the first film.

Life (2017) Scariest alien in a while. Dredd (2012) Where is my sequel? Demolition Man (1993) Pure fun. Species (1995) Just watch it. Dark City (1998) The fever dream that launched a thousand blockbusters. Universal Soldier (1992) Psycho fun. Great role for an already wooden Van Damme.

name an underrated sci-fi film.

I'm only $80 away from my next goal! I'm aiming for $55,000 by the 10th for the latest and I'm at $47,920. Your donations will help me fund emergency cancer care (details at link). If you can help by donating or boosting I would be so grateful! www.gofundme.com/f/help-r-s-a...

On this July 4, please pause to remember that one of the colonists’ complaints in the Declaration was that the Crown was paying its judges.

"Nobody used to think men exploiting women was wrong" is up there with "Nobody used to think slavery was wrong" as a really impressive giveaway of who you think counts as "nobody".

I've been thinking these days about everyone who was warning FOR LITERAL DECADES about how the GOP were taking every opportunity to push judges on to the courts - not just the supremes, all of them - and delaying democratic picks and how that would matter. and it does.

It’s been consistently true over the last fifteen years that people, relatively calmly, sounding the alarm about an incoming political or social catastrophe have been quite rudely dismissed by what you could call the Sensible Liberal Class and then immediately proven right. Few learn a lesson.

the fact that the left and centre in France have both said that the third place candidates will drop out is getting basically no play in a US press going full apeshit over Round 1 results and yes it is so that you think fascism is inevitable globally so why not here

THE sentence of the day: A Macronist incumbent in the Marseille region came in 3rd in her seat. She just dropped out to support the left. She said, about why she's maneuvering to block the far-right: "Defeats happen, but you can never recover from dishonor."

I'm hunkering down from Hurricane Beryl here, but because of your donations I'm at $47,600, on my way to $55,000! Please, keep sharing and donating if you can. I appreciate any help. Go Fund Me takes a while to forward funds, so reaching my target by Jul 9 would be a huge help! Thank you!

So, a lot has happened on the health front. No final answers yet, but what we've learned so far needs to be followed up, & fast. For that, I need at least $11,000 (to go to $55,000 overall) for blood tests, CT scans, consultant fees & more. Please donate & share! www.gofundme.com/f/help-r-s-a...

Love PDK. The predominant books though remain Parable of a Sower and 1984. A few decades late, but horrifyingly enough, here we are.

I think the reason Philip K Dick is still the predominant SF writer of the last century is, he was the only one who foresaw a future where everything would be boring, inconvenient and dehumanising, and where the only way you can win is to somehow refuse to give up your humanity.

“Will the old hero be forced to step down or rally once again? Has the Good Man wearied and lost his way? Has he carried the burden too long? Did he become too morally grey?” And now, “will he pass the sword to a new hero, whose trial we begin now?”

The story of Election 2024 is obviously “will the villainous Trump return to destroy democracy once and for all?” Almost no one - Republicans included - denies this narrative. But the media’s refusal to participate makes it feel more out of “narrative integrity” than journalistic.

A few years ago, Jon Lovett floated a theory that media treats Democrats like protagonists - to be challenged, accounted, and forced to be behave in growth-oriented ways - while the GOP are treated like antagonists - immutable, expected to disrupt, thematic obstacles. Thinking about that a lot.

I don’t recall the NYT calling for Trump to step down after being convicted of 34 counts of fraud and being called by a judge at his civil trial a rapist in the common person sense

So many commenters convinced 'the devil beating his wife' is Southern. The entire West Indies says this, with variations depending on the island, because it came with the French & British apparently. (Bajans say, the devil is beating his wife with the coocoo stick-if you know, you know.)

i’m sorry — what?
