For several years I believed that LucasArts and other developers had created a secret time-capsule hoard of unreleased video games. But, as I've said more recently, I no longer believe this. I was wrong. And if I hurt anyone when I suggested that theory, I am profoundly sorry.

Found another real estate gem, in London this time. It's gorgeous, like a time capsule. The front door alone is magical, you'd imagine bumping into Victorian street urchins some foggy evening. The building is over 300 years old, lets go inside.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Oh no 😭 One of the last members of the USS Enterprise has left. RIP Walter Marvin Koenig (1936-2026) Star Trek, Babylon 5, Moontrap, The Starlost, The Questor Tapes, Futurama... What a career in sci-fi. I will miss Pavel Chekov. Again 😞

My pal Danielle Koenig shared that her father Walter Koenig passed away last night at age 90. A performer whose kindness and warmth shone through the screen. He will be well remembered.

Reminder: When the concept art for The Fifth Element dates back to 1992, it means it's from the first attempt, when the film was called Zaltman Bléros. ☝️

The Spaceshipper 🚀@thespaceshipper.com

Fun fact: the original script was titled Zaltman Bléros (the og name of Korben Dallas). He worked in a spaceship factory. A wink was *almost* included in the movie: A "Zaltman G. Bleros" Multi Pass. ▶️ It's the legendary creature design supervisor Nick Dudman! (Batman, Harry Potter, Alien 3, SW)

It's another day, so let's talk about this. First of all, Lula didn't win the election alone. He won because more than half of the country FREAKED THE FUCK OUT and built a popular movement that organized several actions both irl and online.

Foreign political analysts will take the wrong lesson from this, but that's a topic for another day. Today we celebrate.

"WHAT TO DO NOW: If you've given an AI assistant your bank login, consider taking it back." It seems like common sense to me, but consider yourself warned as we are now living in a perpetual sci-fi story.

What makes this hurt even harder is the fact that he knew it was that strong. He was the first, and arguably the most vigilant in keeping this movie alive. He truly cared and loved the work he was a part of. The animation industry has lost not only a good client, but a true supporter of the arts.

Eric Bauza’s final film performance, as of right now, is Coyote VS ACME. Roadrunner’s testimony is one of his final character performances in the film. He says “Beep” around 46 times, that’s all he says. Yet it says everything about his strengths and passion as a voice actor, with just one word.

I am devastated to learn that Eric Bauza has died. I just spoke with him a couple months ago and I cannot express how joyous it was to have *the Looney Tunes* speaking to *me* and I also cannot express how much it was clear doing the voices brought Bauza joy. www.vulture.com/article/eric...

In the finale of this production, when the stone statue of the Commendatore arrives to drag Don Giovanni to Hell, the wall of Don Giovanni's palace rips open and the statue glides in from a cosmic background of stars and planets. Very reminiscent of #LOOM. #lucasarts #adventuregames

Been working on the daily schedule for the titular "horror". It will move on the map following its timetable. Whenever you skip time, its schedule is also updated. It is possible to run into it by accident, not just in some scripted, fixed thing. Fun stuff!

Many people have had their voting places change to a WHOLE OTHER STATE, where they can't get to bc there's no flights Many also report having their name unduly marked as "not allowed to vote" as if they had legal hangups when they didn't... This is a straight up a thinly veiled hostile takeover

We are watching a coup d’état attempt unfold in real time in Brazil. I’m consumed by desperation.

One time on a trip to Italy, I was in a train station and noticed a branch of the Segafredo café chain that was selling pizza slices. The cultural incongruity of "Siegfried's Pizza" has stuck with me.

This is literally the end of the rule of law. If a President can pardon people committing crimes on his behalf - and the Supreme Court says he himself can't be prosecuted for crimes committed as part of his job - then the government becomes a lawless entity able to violate our rights without limit.
