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*
#Svengoolie rules!

It would be interesting for some groups to provide some estimates on how much return on investment the fossil fuel industry can be expected to earn from their efforts to put Republicans in charge of all three branches of the U.S. government.

Once again: the fossil fuel industry wants energy prices to be high. The Republican Party is in the pocket of the fossil fuel industry. And thus, they are celebrating the passage of a big ugly bill that will cause your energy prices to go up. https://www.canarymedia.com/articles/clean-energy/big-beautiful-bill-state-costs
Chart: ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’ would cause energy bills to go up in every state

Legislation just passed by the Senate would undo clean-energy tax credits, slowing the addition of new power to the grid and saddling customers with…

#PPOD: This image showcases the 9.8-kilometer-long moon Daphnis as it journeys within the Keeler Gap of Saturn's A ring, captured by Cassini's narrow-angle camera 15 years ago on July 5, 2010. As Daphnis orbits Saturn, it induces gravitational ripples along the edges of the gap. The ring particles are drawn toward the moon and then settle back into the ring.

Streaming was a good idea

When there was 1 or maybe 2 platforms where you could watch almost anything for under 20 bucks a month

Streaming is terrible now

A dozen platforms with media spread everywhere each charging 15 to 20 bucks a month

Like with many good ideas, they overplayed their hand and lost me

I am hosting my "own" media again
