Dark Matter S1. ⭐️⭐️
TV show 2024
Watched May 8, 2024

It was just as well I had no expectations going into Apple TV’s latest SciFi show, Dark Matter, otherwise I might have given this one star not two. As it turns out this one felt a tad trite and cliched, picking over the bones of oh so many other shows that have gone before it and, recycling one too many over-used tropes (Schrödinger’s cat anyone?)

And, with a music score that ... https://alexink.micro.blog/2024/05/09/dark-matter-s.html

From my 100 Strangers Project - Miranda, a real-life Roller Derby Queen. I thought Roller Derby died in the 70s and she told me that it had in fact done so but the 21st century has seen a revival. Miranda was a slight, if athletic woman with a definite energetic presence and a sense of enthusiasm.

@amerpie Roller Derby was alive and well in the mid to late 80s when I was in New York City. Glad to see it survived, those were fun afternoon/evenings.

A Day in the Life https://louplummer.lol/post/2024-05-09 I got up at 4:10am today, about twenty minutes earlier than normal. After making my first cup of coffee, I checked to see if the two blog posts I had scheduled were posted. They were, so I cross posted my app review to Reddit, as is my habit. I opened...

@amerpie There's nothing better than a happy ambient daily life. What more could you ask for.

@amerpie It's the little things. Normal and routine are not dirty words, and that stability creates space for us to find happiness in those little things.

🤢 tinyMovieStar stays home today, after a rough night. I should have expected it, since it’s the first official day at work for me.

Having introduced @Helen to Flash Gordon (1980) at the weekend, we are now about to watch Barbarella (1968).

See you on the other side!

@andycarolan Sounds like it might have been remastered. Funny how some of these movies hold up well even today.

@andycarolan Hmm, don't know how much they spent on it, it was a little cheesy even back in the day, but silly fun nonetheless.

Saw these flowers in the park, though I have no idea what they are. They look very delicate though.

alexandra,
@alexandra@social.lol avatar

@kiwi2002 They're really pretty and this is the first time I've seen them but again, I have no idea what they are.

alexandra,
@alexandra@social.lol avatar

@kiwi2002 Oh, you found their name? I was just looking through my flower book and still haven't found them. Thanks! 👍

alexandra,
@alexandra@social.lol avatar

@kiwi2002 Yeah, I should have thought of that first instead of grabbing my flower book. Less hassle.

alexandra,
@alexandra@social.lol avatar

@kiwi2002 Same here. I love my reference books, especially nature & science books. Still my preferred way to educate myself.
