Now take another one.
Ain’t technological progress grand? And absolutely effing terrifying. Note, by the way: it’s equally neat and alarming if the second video’s the fake. Possibly even more alarming, in fact. Being able to discredit actual footage is something I didn’t feel like worrying about this morning; yet here, we are. Yay.
Tweet of the Day, There’s A Proper Grasp Of Science… edition.
There’s a proper grasp of science, there’s my grasp of science, and then there’s Hollywood’s. This makes me feel so much better about the outrages I’m doing right now to the laws of physics in my latest SF-horror story…
Syd Mead's original concept for Deckard's blaster for 'Blade Runner'.

The original idea for the weapon was for it to fire dark matter or open miniature black holes in it's targets.

‘If I Ever Leave This World Alive.’
Yeah, I’m doing it again. I literally don’t want to listen to anything else right now.
SCA/Flogging Molly this weekend!
New baron and baroness stepping up, so everybody’s on deck to help out with that. I get to make sure everything’s set up and so on and so forth. I also expect to be out there in the parking lot, at some point. Yay.
And after that: Sunday is Flogging Molly! I have a ticket. Hopefully, I won’t be so wiped that I can’t go, but we’ll see. The good news there is, it’s just off the Green Line in DC. Getting home should be straightforward.
09/21/21 Snippet, ETERNAL NIGHT OF THE MOON-BEASTS.
Barnstorming! On the moon!
Patreon!Tobias hated the thought of wrecking the relay tower; there weren’t enough of them left as it was. The emergency supplies were lasting longer than anybody on the moon had hoped for, but it was going on two months now and the emergency wasn’t ending. Losing any tech hurt.
“So does losing the mine,” Tobias muttered as he drifted the hopper through the canyons leading up to the tower. He was flying as low as he could, and considerably lower than he used to dare. So far, there was no sign of… what had attacked him. Either on the ground, or inside his head.
Not that he was alone with his thoughts. Asenath was in his head, but that was fine. He valued her company. I have finished analyzing the data you collected about your attacker. Are you sure you do not want a description?
“Yes,” said Tobias, in lieu of admitting to her that he was ready to vomit at even the thought of truly perceiving the thing now infesting the Jetshaft mine.
The JUNGLE CRUISE Honest Trailer.
I liked JUNGLE CRUISE more than Honest Trailers did, although they didn’t drip acid onto their review, or anything. I mean, it’s a big old dumb action movie and we all knew that going in. Full points for HT’s kick-in-the-groin of Disney over presumed Chinese self-censorship, mind. I hadn’t considered that, until they pointed it out.
The “Ooooooooh” THE TRAGEDY OF MACBETH trailer.
This might be a Date Night movie.
Something wicked this way comes

Via @SonnyBunch, who has his tongue firmly in cheek for this one. I think.
Tweet of the Day, Clever Girl edition.
If you don’t think this is mildly terrifying, you haven’t had toddlers around for a while. …Hold on. I haven’t had toddlers around for a while. So why do I find this video mildly alarming?
