I'm listening to the podcast Sinkhole and now I'm just thinking about whether the nostalgia for older media (as told fifty+ years in the future) is a feature in modern sci fi at all or it's more related to the medium. Podcasters love their older media.
Anyway, Sinkhole good. Sci fi good. I need more sci fi short stories/podcasts to binge.
normal
Gov deals makes me imagine so many new futures. Do I full on start a brewery? Am the type of person to fix and use a gas chromotagrapher? Or fix up a school bus that costs $90. I spent a solid Too Many Minutes figuring out how to start a print studio because there's a booklet binder for sale. Hell, I just might get it. Or buy a train car. Who knows.
if you're ever wondering what popular media is getting wrong about basically any premodern society, the answer is that there are never enough lawsuits
there's a common idea that in the olden days all disputes were resolved through violence, but even in settings where that was true, people would still sue each other about it.
Like 80% of Icelandic sagas involve lawsuits. Sometimes against ghosts.
This worked to get rid of the ghosts, incidentally.
Gonna overthink C&M real quick here. A marching band. As innies. What...do these people do otherwise. Are they an example of a process where the barrier didn't hold and the skills transfer from outies to innies (or vice versa!)? Are they just a fucking band when they're innies and normal people otherwise? Or maybe, they've been innies since they were children and this is just a part of whatever educational experience? Maybe they're failed experiments like Gemma where the barrier didn't quite hold and the marching band skills transferred between innies.
Or, the obvious. They're not innies; they just couldn't let Helly know it.
Thinking about it more, these people are kids. Marching band kids who could never grow up. Incredibly toxic
Slammed through Chuck Tingle's Lucky Day in a day (not an unlucky or lucky day, fortunately) and it's great. Extremely brutal and gorey, sure, but also full of hope in the face of apathy. Also a lot of very well placed details that all come back in some way or another. Loved that sense of interconnectedness. Best way to pitch it is x files meets all the final destination movies happening at once.
I really want to make a zine for the podcast zine festival but I have a way too specific idea and need a few more examples. Are there any podcasts that make the listener a kind of eavesdropping God the way archive 81 and Magnus archives do?
I love audio dramas so much. What do you mean I can go on a 3 hour aimless walk, look at trees and birds and listen to stories about how wonderful and vast and scary the world is at any time. It's the best. Nothing makes me happier. How lucky am I.
not to shit on zack snyder again but it's really funny that he tried to make a big, grand, complex moral quandary on where superman should stand when he saves people around the world and then james gunn is like "he wants to do it because he thinks it's the right thing to do". sometimes going simpler means you get to the crux of what the character is all about much more efficiently. like wow it's really that easy
we still haven't seen much of gunn's version of clark but him screaming "people were going to DIE" in extreme frustration over pedestrian political nonsense (by no fault of lois' own, btw, it's just prepping him up for the inevitable placating everyone in power will want him to do) already gives us a much clearer vision for his character than what snyder did in 3 movies
like wow it all really comes down to this one simple line, doesn't it. who gives a shit about whatever any high-ranking asshole has to lecture you about. people are going to die. people WILL die. you are in a blessed position where you can do something about it. and you WANT to do something about it. and you WILL.
That clip also gets more into the actual political ethics (an American citizen enters a foreign country with no one's authorization and performs a show of force to make everyone do what he wants) than Zack's stuff ever did.
Zack seemed to consider "should you save people?" to be an interesting moral quandary in and of itself and, like, to be fair he ultimately answers "yes" but like how was that a question to begin with?
Oh my God is lex luthor an effective altruist or something? That'd be perfect
So in the 1975 version of the Stepford Wives, it’s canon that the lead guy worked on the Hall of Presidents. Just imagine being a Disney nerd in the 70’s and learning one of the imagineers was replacing dudes’ wives with robots. Of course it’s fucked up, but I’d be more disappointed that the animatronics in the park aren’t the same quality.
I don't know how I feel about a bot liking this post lol
My severance headcanon is that ricken is the token straight guy for every friend group he's in (not for lack of trying)

The only medium I’m super happy to hear ads in is audio fiction/podcasts because it means they’re making money. Like, I’m just so happy when these shows are funded. They’re so underappreciated. I watched a playthrough of the game Dead Letter Society and thought “this is like a podcast” and it was the highest form of compliment I could give (the atmosphere! the pacing!). It’s also unlike YouTube which puts ads over everything, randomly and doesn’t even give that money to the creators. I just, really like audio fiction. Good shit
fun clicky fidget keycap keychains are HERE!
I'm breaking up with you but you have to finish my podcast.
Sometimes I think about Fantasy High Junior Year and I think about Kipperlilly. And I think about radicalization. I think about how her anger was transformed into rage and taken advantage of by a teacher at the school, and how that same teacher transformed her friends too. I also think about Jawbone's guilt. He could only help Kipperlilly so much within their sessions. Idk, I find her tragic. I don't know if she could've been deradicalized but she was also just a kid. An angry kid whose anger was taken advantage of.
