I’m Jimi.

I quietly contemplate these days. I enjoy reading about and infrequently discussing #SciFi, #Fantasy, #Horror, #Science, #USPolitics and #Noir. I’ve been #TentCamping over half my life.

#StarTrek🖖rocks.
I love all #Tolkien.
#MST3K is hilarious.
Michael Myers🔪the 1st shape.
#Ghibli storytelling is *gorgeous*
Han shot first.
#Svengoolie rules!

Early Gen X feral latchkey kid. Married. Mostly harmless. I block AI & jagbags.

Banner ImageFall is the season on the lakefront in Barrie, Ontario. A photographer in a yellow jacket sits under a reddish dynamic sculpture. New construction is visible in the background. Blue sky with scattered white clouds. The lake is reflecting the blue sky.

So ... Parents can't get their kids gender affirming care but they can prevent schools from teaching that trans kids are human beings. That's how parental rights work?

Remember, the main reason so many firms push you to use their apps when you can do the same stuff via their websites is that apps typically give them far more insight into your activities on your phone, even often unrelated to that app. So when you can use the websites, it's often best to say NO to the apps.

There's no reason not to attack on this. Donald Trump is on the payroll of the Saudis, Emiratis, and Qataris. He just accepted a flying bribery palace from the Qataris. He's sharing chip technology Biden refused to. There's your sell-out to Islam, right there. Works for Adams too, but w/Türkiye

@Jimijamflimflam

Pretty clearly inspired by Skippy's List of things he is not allowed to do in the military.

A nice riff on the theme, though.

Amazing Stories vol. 20, no. 8 (November 1946)

This is amazing, isn't it? I assume the demon guy is enormous and the woman regular-sized but who knows? And that tail is weird and rather suggestive.

@SFFMagazineCovers Oh, that does remind me that I used to have a couple of hundred of those magazines, all sci-fi (Astounding, Amazing, etc.) from the 40s/50s/60s. All in questionable state because of the original owner, and my moving to Sweden had me give up on them (but I found a loving home). It would be great if people have added these to archive.org as well. There were some early versions of stories by several great sci-fi writers in there!

@SFFMagazineCovers There is something so wrong with the tail's location (dramatically!). Or is it the panties' design, lacking a slut for the tail? So the tail must find its way through the pants leg. 🤔
