Empress of Mars: Undisputed @zebratron2084@awoo.space

@eredien go for it! :D

I... I just ran a fucking meeting.

What am I even becoming.

I think it's safe to say we've pretty much exhausted the basic Groundhog Day infinite timeloop trope.

So the next phase is going to be finite loops. The hero _thinks_ they're going into an inexhaustible loop, but they find out that it's decaying.

We've already seen this start to happen. Russian Doll and one of the Xmas episodes of American Dad (I know, I know) come to mind. I think there are others.

But the _next_ revisionist genre phase after that: someone else has already gotten their hands on the mechanism. The loops are handed out by some intractable authority and the protagonist must "earn" more by doing something morally compromising.

It's coming. The math is flawless. :3

I am pleasantly surprised by how often I'm getting upvoted for demolishing transphobes and their "it's just a FACT" nonsense with actual nuance. Especially on the skeptic communities, which I frankly expected to be... beardier. :p

But yeah, popping up on /r/skeptic and saying "trans woman are men and you're delusional if you think otherwise" is a good way to get blue-arrowed to death and that gives me a lowkey sense of relief.

@JulieSqveakaroo Darlin, we are all pulling for you and Raccoon. You don't have to apologize for a thing.

@rjl20@octodon.social @anthracite @KinkyTurtle Still exceptional background information, thank you! n.n Also a pretty reasonable assumption given the lack of full context! I mean, I believe there is some cultural precedent in English for "Starfucker?"

@rjl20@octodon.social @anthracite @KinkyTurtle No, no, rhis is definitely about fucking actual astrological bodies, not celebrities. :) Thank you for the insight!

this song makes me think of peggy and my escape from seattle and i'm all choked up <3

@KinkyTurtle @anthracite I think we have a winner. Thanks hun!

@JulieSqveakaroo @zx3 Oh. My. God. That brings back a huge memory: the Burly Bear network.

So apparently there was an indie music/comedy cable startup that was sharing space with one of the community access channels in Somerville, MA.

And I don't have great memories of them or what they showed, but it was all WEIRD and they had one of the last really GOOD video blocks I saw after the demise of MTV's soul.

I'll be grateful to them for the rest of my life for introducing me to the late Trish Keenan's Broadcast:

@zx3 (but this is an EXCELLENT suggestion and I hadn't thought of using this to track Julie's show down! <3 <3 <3 )

@zx3 @JulieSqveakaroo *dresses up like Westley and delivers an extended monologue about living quite comfortably in the Media Swamp for some time* <3

@JulieSqveakaroo This is all gloriously frustrating, isn't it. :D It's why I love nostalgia hunts, it's almost like a puzzle hunt...

@JulieSqveakaroo Huh Digging further... it looks like there was an Outerscope 1 and Outerscope 2. Just theorizing, but is it possible they had separate characters, kinda like Infinity Train? I'm digging for episodes from each season to check...

@JulieSqveakaroo This is TORTUROUSLY familiar, roo. <3 I'll keep researching!

@JulieSqveakaroo Could you toss me a link to the Birdsite conversation, hun?

@JulieSqveakaroo Intriguingly, while every Google source I'm finding for Outerscope refers to it airing on "Vegetable Soup"... I found someone on a forum reminiscing about a very similar-sounding show that had a character named "Pennywise." So that might have been a Vegetable Soup character, or Outerscope might have been packaged into another kids' TV show? I'm still digging...

@JulieSqveakaroo Wait, are you thinking of Outerscope?
