Once I get what I am owed from the GoFundMe project I will NEVER buy another action figure from #Nacelle. And I have purchased a lot from reputable manufacturers.

Half joke. Anx all earnest
Red Dwarf isn’t about hope.
It’s about surviving without lying to yourself.
I’ve written a companion essay to the new video — on food, routine, escapism and the discipline of staying sane in a universe that doesn’t care.

Jokes do matter.
General and Priest, Emiliano Zapata, credited the lampoonists with winning the Revolución de 1910, because they moved the multitudes to march with him.
@melodyleelacy.bsky.social you legend and your quite right and That’s a great example. Humour doesn’t just entertain — it mobilises. History’s full of moments where the joke carried more weight than the speech.

Red Dwarf traps its characters in a universe where nothing accumulates.
No moral ladder. No aftermath arc. No rebuilding.
So what grows in that gap?
Food. Routine. Escapism. Humour.
Red Dwarf Is About Living Without Lying to Yourself

This is low key the best thing I’ve read all year !!!
Front cover of an unpublished Captain Scarlet short story from 1967 - "We Will Poison Japan's Food Supply" - by David Motton.
Right then, shall I tell you all about this unpublished Captain Scarlet story that foreshadows one of UFO's best episodes and features Captain Scarlet going up against a Mysteronised sumo wrestler?
Last night, watching New Captain Scarlet Shape shifter episode on ITVX, Captain Scarlet gets graphically shot and chucked in a swamp. The adverts come on for cuddly pink puppy toys and lego pandas. Episode continues with him rising from a shallow grave. Not sure who they think is watching this.
The next video is underway.
The Olympics going for the half-converted Cybermen look was a bold move.
Thank you — that’s very kind of you. Wishing you a good and gentle year ahead as well.
Happy New Year !!!@rhapsodyangel.bsky.social I hope you have an amazing 2026
Captain Scarlet.
Happy New Year my lovelies.
A new year.
Same questions, same curiosity.
Thanks for being here — and happy New Year.
I’ve written a new essay on Total Recall — not as spectacle, but as a story about identity, repression, and the self you try to leave behind.

You’re an absolute legend @leahrebecca.bsky.social Merry Christmas from the British Sci-fi family.
Merry Christmas from this corner of British sci-fi.
Hope it’s a good one, wherever you are.
Here we go, again...

Most people remember Starship Mine as “Picard does Die Hard.”
I don’t think that’s quite right.
I think it’s about survival, withdrawal, and what Picard does when no one’s watching.
My Christmas special is live now 👇

You always do.
Always worth a watch, and always very good 👌
That’s why I value you being here, Melody — the world’s cynical enough. A bit of earnestness keeps the soul alive ❤️
I'm too earnest!
I may miss you all most of tomorrow because it's Get Out The Vote canvassing day.
Hope and Safety to all of you.
I'll try to send you a picture!
Am happy to have entertained you my friend.
Hope you enjoy my friend.
