If you see me posting here, remind me I have too many books, BluRays, DVDs, comics & games to get through to be wasting time on socials. Those backlogs aren’t going to clear themselves. Occasional maker of THINGS. @MarkSlater42 on Letterboxd (He/Him)

He appears to spend 18 hours a day doing nothing but obsessively spewing hate on X - he’s absolutely broken.

Disgusting the way his defenders are characterising this as him being arrested for ‘making a joke’. Suggesting that people should verbally attack and physically assault trans women in bathrooms isn’t a joke unless you’re sick in the head (which at this point I suspect he is)!

Many people don’t even know a lot of their favourite films were originally in 3D. I did an anaglyph screening of ‘The Creature From The Black Lagoon’ at a British SF Convention in Bradford in 2009. I also dressed as the Creature with rubber mask and claws and ran around the audience.

You can still easily get projectors with 3D capability. My TV and projector both have it, but despite have a *lot* of 3D blurays (including a lot of old stuff as well as MCU) I find I rarely use it - but yes, it should be available. This has happened following every generation of 3D ‘fad’.

Ironically, the British people pointing out your idiotic nonsense are far from being nationalists as you choose to put it. The nationalists are as ignorant and racist as you appear to be and would have wanted the creators of Chicken Tikka Masala deported.

A sort of prototype for ‘Drop The Dead Donkey’ with newspapers rather than TV News.

Same. Also with BluRays. I still occasionally end up with duplicates I have to eBay or gift to people.

Maybe a Bluetooth transmitter with phono inputs? Then use a Bluetooth speaker with decent max volume? amzn.eu/d/fV3hq55
Mark Slater (@markslater.bsky.social) reply parent
Does it have an external line out? Is it one of those modern things with Bluetooth capability?

Fair enough. Sometimes the flippers drop their price and have to wipe their nose a couple of weeks down the line. The other thing is that someone might be upgrading to a slipcase and be offloading their standard edition.
Mark Slater (@markslater.bsky.social) reply parent
Might be worth keeping an eye on eBay for the next couple of weeks in case anyone is flipping it.

I have a VS subscription so get free shipping, so happy to buy it for you and post it on - you can pay me when you receive it. I’m happy because I get loyalty points.
Mark Slater (@markslater.bsky.social) reply parent
Let me know if you want to order the VS version - I can save you a lot on postage.
Mark Slater (@markslater.bsky.social) reply parent
The VS edition has 4K, and two region free blurays and includes the 3D version in proper modern 3D or anaglyph (glasses included).

For fun? Some cracking posts this morning. I don’t think anyone genuinely believes it, but the collective energy of people wishing for it is spicy. If any of it gets back to him it might do the job. People should start posting obituaries (or fuck-eulogies as John Oliver used to put it).

Aargh - no it didn’t. Stop anthropomorphising this shit - even in jest.

People should start publishing their Fuck-eulogies anyway. That’d piss him off. The spike in blood pressure might do the job.

I personally tend to advertise my literary and/or artistic preferences via the medium of *incredibly* niche t-shirts (which will as a side effect generally display my complete lack of biceps). 😆
Mark Slater (@markslater.bsky.social) reply parent
Whether you cheated to get them is another thing - but nevertheless you still have them, and this is about immediate attraction, so pretty much amounts to the same. But fakers get found out eventually.
Mark Slater (@markslater.bsky.social) reply parent
The downside being that people can fake liking art and literature, whereas you are actually wearing the jeans and have the biceps. You might affect a taste for highbrow literature without actually reading it (though you may come rapidly unstuck if questioned on it).
Mark Slater (@markslater.bsky.social) reply parent
It’s called context. If you’re unable to figure that out then maybe that’s why you’ve tried to hijack someone else’s post to make your own unrelated and frankly incoherent point.

Shouldn’t really have to ‘pick up on it though’ - it should be so unequivocal that the media (including the Mirror) don’t have the opportunity to frame the response as a weak version of the same so-called ‘legitimate concerns’.

A lot of it is hyperbole for sure, but that leaves a lot of headroom for genuinely awful stuff still to be done if he persuades enough people to get him into a position of power - something I once thought was total fantasy and now am not so sure about.

They were told that Brexit would increase food prices. They didn’t understand that either. The connection here is even more complex & nuanced. They won’t understand the impact it will have on them until it’s too late. Sorry to be a downer but my faith in human nature & basic intelligence is failing.

So, does your partnership with OpenAI make it necessary for you to appear to have lost your fucking minds? Seriously - this stuff serves only to torch what reputation you may have left. Is it worth it?

No - they’re specifically talking about the United States. So what they mean is exactly what they said and doesn’t require any whataboutery.

I’m not sure how you ‘reclaim’ it exactly though. Putting up a rainbow flag next to it is fine, but I don’t think it’ll serve to in any way detoxify them and is just liable to end up in an arms race. I couldn’t give a stuff about the Union Flag or St George’s flag. I don’t want to see them at all.
Mark Slater (@markslater.bsky.social) reply parent
I think that ship has largely sailed. You really cannot have a rational conversation with many of these people. If I see them, they’re coming down and a notice attached to the lamp post saying if they return, they’ll be removed, sold on eBay and the proceeds donated to an asylum seekers charity.

This really worries me. It occurs to me that it’s something the could easily be being financed and driven through astroturf groups by dark money, and looks almost designed to make things kick off in the streets.
Mark Slater (@markslater.bsky.social) reply parent
What really concerns me, is this sort of thing could be very easily financed on a massive scale through astroturf groups using willing idiots via dark money. The people who also finance Reform et al & numerous so-called think tanks really want it kicking off in the streets & this is how you’d do it.
Mark Slater (@markslater.bsky.social) reply parent
Seen this shit? This worries me, because this is the sort of thing that could be quietly financed through astroturf groups to willing idiots with dark money and result in things kicking off in the street. I know if they appeared in my street I’d be pulling them down.
Mark Slater (@markslater.bsky.social) reply parent
I was going to do that once they were down. Don’t want to damage any lamp posts - that would be *actual* criminal damage. 🙂
