Loved it :D
I was thinking of a new topic, “Greatest SF Inventions”, which I might still start (but go ahead if you have a list already), and probably at the very top of that list would be a transporter/teleporter. But they often have downsides.Which reminded me of this hilarious scene from the brilliant Galaxy Quest: https://youtu.be/nW-NiGp1gys
“What happened? I heard squealing.”
“Nothing, everything’s fine.”
“Except the animal was turned inside out.”
“Inside out?!”
BOOMSPLAT
“And then it exploded.”

This ^^^^Thanks Trike - I needed a laugh this morning :)
Speaking of stand-up and SFF, here are the clips from the end of the excellent documentary Trekkies. (This was specifically recommended by Mrs. Trike for “Victoria.” She meant Veronica. I’m giving her half credit.)https://youtu.be/Mxty4YXpmKU
Related trivia: after the film came out, I was talking to the director Roger Nygard and I mentioned that I thought it was amusing that everyone was talking about how “everyone gets along in Trek’s future”, and I said, “Did everyone forget the fisticuffs? Kirk literally has his own fight music.” And he said, “Now I know what Trekkies 2 is going to be about. Do you want to come to the convention and be interviewed?” With all those people? No, thank you, I do not. (I’m not actually agoraphobic, I just find large groups of people *exhausting*. Like “I must retire to my fainting couch” exhausting.)

Best Shatner impression since Tim Allen in Galaxy Quest. Who knew the guy from A Few Good Men had it in him?

Clips from the original Thing might be amusing. I like how chatty it was. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjuLZ...

This is more horror than SF&F. Ladybird Books published a biography of Donald Trump, A Ladybird Book About Donald Trump. The back cover lists the subjects of other Ladybird biographies. Ladybirds of a feather I guess. :-)

This happened on Libby last night. I’m not even sure how a Z gets confused for a 2. Computer? Human?Heh. 😋
At least they got the historical fiction part right.
