Our feature The Man from Planet X begins in a few minutes. I began torrenting it from the Internet Archive two hours ago but it looks like I won't have a copy until about ten or fifteen minutes beyond the scheduled start time, so I will have to begin streaming from Tubitv and switch over to avoid the ads

  1. This toot from sarah (vigour_mortis@mas.to) had 10 replies.

Dude bragging about his credentials and accomplishments, only to break a pencil and almost cry about it 😬
