You’re just about as useless as JPGs to Helen Keller.

For me it’s way more than several.

I’m an OG Al fan. Bought his first record in 83. Still have the vinyl today. Have bought everything else.

@seanferrick.bsky.social Do you remember which video it was where Todd Stashwick starts off the video doing his intro like this? I think it was back in January, but I can't find it now for some reason.

Need to add images in there.

@darksakura.bsky.social managed to get the sticker I wanted moved to the new m3 MacBook Air from the 9 year old intel MacBook. It’s mostly intact too.

@darksakura.bsky.social Black Sabbath Ballet!

Oh hey @darksakura.bsky.social - I forgot one. Series 11, "Can of Worms". In short, Cat finally gets laid.

However like most things in this show, things aren't what they seem. The woman playing the female cat is a major highlight of the episode.

When your cat is proud that she drug a blanket across the floor.

@darksakura.bsky.social GOOD NEWS! See other communications venues. ;)

Is there a way to make them appear in dark mode? If I use this it would be embedded on a black site, and as such the white of the embedded post really sticks out.

They tend to do that.

Or if they can't find one, they make one.

Danke.

I'm gonna miss the stickers on my laptop. This is a 2015 MacBook, and it's being replaced in a few weeks.

Especially the "My blog" sticker, which I can't get anymore, the place doesn't have any more. I might have to manually re-create it.

Can I set my account to not have them animated by default?

That’s exactly why I was asking. ;)

Series 10 - Trojan
Series 11 - Officer Rimmer
Series 12 - Skipper

All three are guaranteed bangers.

Haven't seen that on Amazon to buy yet. Any idea if it's there?

I wish Tig Notaro had been a full-time cast member of Star Trek Discovery from the beginning. Every time she showed up, it was so much fun. #StarTrekDiscovery #StarTrek

“Put an ad”. Why is there no edit on Bluesky?

Have a pic of a Blu Ray advert for that. This is from a grocery store near me that put a dad for this on top of one of those security things by the exit door. Took the pic cuz of David Tennant. #DoctorWho

#RedDwarfMarathon Ep 50 - Pete Pt 1 - 25 Mar 1999 2/2

entire crew is frozen in time (except our guys). When Kryten tries using the time wand to fix things, it ends up changing Pete back to an earlier lifeform - a dinosaur who is now rampaging around the ship, eating his owner.

#RedDwarfMarathon Ep 50 - Pete Pt 1 - 25 Mar 1999 1/2

Pt 1 consists mostly of Lister & Rimmer getting in trouble over various pranks (which are funny), ending up in "the hole" and meeting a prisoner who has a bird called Pete. They're broken out by Bob the Skutter, and find the

#RedDwarfMarathon Ep 49 - Krytie TV - 18 Mar 1999 2/2

the women figure it out. The second half is Kryten pranking Lister - this second half wasn't as amusing to me, although the final punch line of the ep being Lister's guitar was funny. Kind of the "eh" ep of the series.

#RedDwarfMarathon Ep 49 - Krytie TV - 18 Mar 1999 1/2

Kryten is reprogrammed by some of the prisoners, and as his official status in prison is female, they use him to take clandestine videos of the women's side of the prison. This develops into a Godfather type scenario - until

#RedDwarfMarathon Ep 48 - Cassandra - 11 Mar 1999 2/2

try to avoid her predictions, two of which are Rimmer dies, and then Kochanski sleeps with Rimmer. This ep is talkier than I remember, but it's still funny as hell. The Killcrazy character makes me laugh every time.

#RedDwarfMarathon Ep 48 - Cassandra - 11 Mar 1999 1/2

Our crew gets signed up for the Canaries, a group that goes into hazardous places. As part of this they find a computer called Cassandra that can accurately predict the future. The rest of the episode is watching the crew

#RedDwarfMarathon Ep 47 - Back in the Red Pt 3 - 4 Mar 1999 2/2

guilty of something totally different. The Cat dance scene was a bit over the top and the stop motion was weird. Getting "real Rimmer" to join them was an odd choice. Thought it was a well paced out three parter.

#RedDwarfMarathon Ep 47 - Back in the Red Pt 3 - 4 Mar 1999 1/2

The horny joke carries over here too with Kochanski going after Rimmer. The trial concludes with our crew being found guilty & sentenced to the Tank. Amusingly they were found innocent of the original charges, but

#RedDwarfMarathon Ep 46 - Back in the Red Pt 2 - 25 Feb 1999 2/2

an elevator. It sets up Rimmer's scene at the Captain's dinner with all the women doing the same. That joke was actually the main one this ep, and goes on just a tad too long, but is still funny. #DibbleyFamily

#RedDwarfMarathon Ep 46 - Back in the Red Pt 2 - 25 Feb 1999 1/2

Pt2 shows our crew trying to defend themselves with events of the last few seasons. They need to track down Kryten's nanos to prove their story. Funniest moment for me was when Kochanski gets horny for Lister in

#RedDwarfMarathon Ep 45 - Back in the Red Pt 1 - 18 Feb 1999 2/2

hologram. Getting adjusted to all that is I ADORE S8 because it brings back the bunk chat scenes the first two series had. This is one of my fav series of Red Dwarf, an opinion not held by most. 1st of 3 parts.

#RedDwarfMarathon Ep 45 - Back in the Red Pt 1 - 18 Feb 1999 1/2

S8 starts with another radical change in format. Due to events of last series' ending, we now have Red Dwarf back, but with all the crew, something the show's never done before. Rimmer's back, but as a human, not a

#RedDwarfMarathon Ep 44 - Nanarchy - 7 Mar 1997 2/2

His arm returns with the ship/Holly when they figure out it was Kryten's nanobots who caused the ship to disappear in the first place. The nanobots recreate everything, now including the crew of the Red Dwarf, which sets up s8.

#RedDwarfMarathon Ep 44 - Nanarchy - 7 Mar 1997 1/2

The last few mins of this are awesome, because we get the Red Dwarf ship back as well as Holly, but again played by Norman Lovett! The bulk of the episode is a continuation from last ep, where Lister is left without an arm.

#RedDwarfMarathon Ep 43 - Epideme - 28 Feb 1997 2/2

Goes to a weird place, with Kochanski cutting off her own arm, Lister trying to talk to the virus, and Lister trying to kill himself to save everyone. Only laughed out loud once. Not a particularly good episode.

#RedDwarfMarathon Ep 43 - Epideme - 28 Feb 1997 1/2

S7 ends with a two parter, this is pt1. I actually really like pt2, but this first part never did anything for me. Most if it has to do with a "smart virus" that Lister contracts. Most of the ep is spent trying to cure him.

#RedDwarfMarathon Ep 42 - Beyond a Joke - 21 Feb 1997 2/2

the characters from a Jayne Austin novel is hilarious. In trying to fix Kryten, they find his brother droid, Able who is drug addicted. In the end, this was better than I remember, with a lot of Kryten background stuff.

#RedDwarfMarathon Ep 42 - Beyond a Joke - 21 Feb 1997 1/2

Co-written by Kryten actor Robert Llewellyn, this one never did much for me. Kryten in s7 was super whiny about Kochanski being here, so a Kryten centric ep in this series made me feel "uh, no". Although, him taking out

#RedDwarfMarathon Ep 41 - Blue - 14 Feb 1997 2/2

Barrie in a dream sequence, which has the single most remembered bit from this ep. When Lister kissed Rimmer. Kryten continues to be too whiny. The Rimmer song at the end of the ep is one of the best moments of the series overall.

#RedDwarfMarathon Ep 41 - Blue - 14 Feb 1997 1/2

A concept that's been explored before, but given the show's base concept, you'd think would be more prevalent. Lister's depression over his life situation being the last human alive. This is the ep with the other cameo by Chris

#RedDwarfMarathon Ep 40 - Duct Soup - 7 Feb 1997 2/2

Kochanski & the pipes was funny. This one tends to get a bum wrap, but if you're invested in the characters it works. A lot of it is to build up Lister & Kochanski and bring her into the crew fully. Very talky episode.
