Elsewhere on social media: some dude asserting, "I'm so old that when I was a kid, Bill Nye was Mr. Wizard!"

Me: "I'm so old that when I was a kid, Bill Nye was a speedwalking superhero!!"

Ah, Almost Live. Assuming you weren't watching Seattle TV in the '80s and '90s: Almost Live was a locally produced sketch comedy show that aired before SNL every week (and actually pushed it back by half an hour). Bill Nye was an early cast member, and did appear in his Science Guy persona on the show. He was in plenty of other sketches as other characters, though, too. A lot of it's floating around YouTube, so you can still find clips of it. And yes, Speed Walker was definitely a thing.

I also just got a good laugh out of running across this sketch about -- go figure -- Boeing contract negotiations. Bill's playing one of the machinists here. I note that in real life, he used to be a Boeing engineer.

Meanwhile, also in real life, the machinists' union just finished a weeks-long strike. This sketch, by comparison? Was from 1989. Thirty-five damn years ago. The more things change...

Find out what it will take to get the machinists union back to work!With Bill Nye, John Keister, Bill Stainton and Ed Wyatt.First aired Nove

Twilight Advent, Day 14

Masterpost/prompts

Dec. 14 - Tell us something Bella loves about Edward and something Edward loves about Bella (not mentioned in the saga).

Count me, too, among the "really, you two?" shippers. I am Team Everybody Needs To Grow Up and Probably Also Go To Therapy. I am just fundamentally not here for that part of the story (and yes I have the gall to call the central romance a part of the story!). But I am here for the larger story, which means I've had to think about the role these two play

But again with my "sticking to 2022 for these headcanons" attempt, here's a thing that I hope happens for them in the intervening years. Parenthood (or so I understand from watching siblings and friends because I'll be damned if I'm having children) usually causes people to have a reckoning about who their partner is. Sometimes that's for the bad, but often it's just a new way to appreciate things you love about your partner.

So I think they both love seeing the other interact with Renesmee. Bella thinks it's silly the way that Edward spoils her when she's young, but finds it endearing the way he still slips her $100 cash when she comes to visit even though she has just as much money as any other Cullen. Edward likes how much his daughter has grown up to look like his wife, and every one of her mannerisms that she picks up from Bella causes him to appreciate that mannerism even more He likes how stern she is, and how she worries sometimes even more than he does; he liked the way Renesmee brought out Bella's silly side as she grew.

My hope, as Team Everybody Needs to Grow Up is that Renesmee did exactly that. She forced Edward and Bella to grow up; to see more of each other's faults (Edward spoiled her but also had a short fuse and sometimes had outbursts of frustration; Bella often overlooked Renesmee's needs in favor of Edward's or Jacob's and failed to take a longer view of childrearing) and to actually talk about them on the surface instead. They fought to the point of screaming and crying over differences in their parenting styles; they were forced to acknowledge that they would actually have to compromise or gasp! agree to not agree. This let them actually mature beyond the still-besotted seventeen-year-olds they are at the end of Breaking Dawn—made them wiser, more resilient, and let them move into a more adult form of love.

My last scary movie of October '25 was a Bri'ish horror/mystery, The Limehouse Golem (Juan Carlos Medina, 2016), adapted from Peter Ackroyd's novel Dan Leno and the Limehouse Golem by Jane Goldman, who co-wrote the Kingsman movies, if that's yr thing. It stars Bill Nighy and Olivia Cooke, with Eddie Marsan, Douglas Booth, and Sam Reid of the Lest@t TV series in supporting roles.

In Victorian London, Inspector Kildare (Nighy) must solve a series of murders in Limehouse, perpetrated by what the press calls "the Golem." He has a little sidekick, Constable Flood (Daniel Mays), and the central suspects are associated with a group of music hall performers, including Elizabeth Cree (Cooke), who has lately been on trial for murdering her husband, John Cree (Reid), a failed playwright and Kildare's primary suspect.

The movie is beautiful to look at, with compelling characters in an intriguing setting. Best of all, every character we care about is queer! The inspector, the constable, and the music hall singer, Lizzie. . .all gay. The star attraction in the show is a pretty man, who is in Victorian-glam drag in about half his scenes. It's great. All the straights are either boring or just bad people. Gotta love that.

Lots of twists and turns, well-placed clues you won't be able to assemble until after the big whodunit reveal, and a satisfying denouement. I would watch a whole series of Inspector Kildare mysteries. Glad I took a chance on this one.
