An actual conversation I just had:

Her:
there’s no news on it yet so I don’t know where you’re getting your information but it’s frog shit

Me:
The Guardian posted about it like 13 hours ago, it's also being reported via the ABC website, as well as 7, 9, 10 etc..

Her:
I don't watch any of those they're fake news

Me:
Just curious.. where do you get news from then?

Her:
I don't watch any news it's all lies

Better than Streaming: Fire and Ice 4K Blu-ray Coming Out On June 30

Welcome back fellow geeks, Blu-ray collectors and movie buffs!

If you love the animated works of director Ralph Bakshi (American Pop, The Lord of The Rings) and the artworks of Frank Frazetta (Conan The Barbarian, Vampirella), then you should watch out for their memorable collaboration in ultra high-definition as the 1983 animated movie Fire and Ice will be released on 4K Blu-ray format on June 30, 2026, exclusively via MVDshop.

With a story co-written by Bakshi and Frazetta and the screenplay done by comic book legends Gerry Conway and Roy Thomas, Fire and Ice is the story of a young warrior named Larn who wants revenge against the evil queen Juliana and her son Nekron. Larn also has the task to rescue their kidnapped princess Teegra. For your interest and reference, watch the classic movie trailer below.

Fire and Ice 4K Blu-ray will be in a Steelbook form containing the 4K Blu-ray disc and the Blu-ray disc. For the 4K enthusiasts reading this, the classic animated film has been restored in 4K and the visuals are rendered in native 4K.

I personally am interested in replaying Fire and Ice in 4K Blu-ray format. I saw Fire and Ice a few times a very long time ago on a rented video tape and on cable TV (randomly viewed it) but I never actually got to watch it entirely. Fire and Ice 4K Blu-ray is on my list of 4K Blu-ray releases of this year. I can only wonder when it would get offered via Amazon.

As for Ralph Bakshi, I admire his works on rotoscoped animation and how he visualized his concepts. His work on The Lord of the Rings animated film of 1978 was ambitious and he made the most out of their limited resources. I own a Blu-ray copy of his animated film American Pop and watching rotoscoped animated scenes and characters move in high-definition is enjoyable.

Fire and Ice, to the best of my memory, has a fantasy concept that reminds me somewhat of Conan The Barbarian (and the sword-and-sandals fantasy elements) and it also the traditional concept of the heroic man who risks his life to save an important woman from the forces of evil. To replay Fire and Ice in 4K is something I desire as a 4K Blu-ray collector and enthusiast of traditional animation.

Not to be outdone is the vocal cast that has William Ostrander, Maggie Roswell, Steve Sandor, Stephen Mendel and Susan Tyrell. The performances in Fire and Ice were strong.

Using the "do you watch MAFS" defence in the kink group chat to shut down awkward conversations before they begin..

Him:
Today makes me stop and think do I try for my second attempt at joining the defence force

Me:
So, does anyone in here watch MAFS?

Him:
No I don’t watch crap like that.

Me:
Oh, I do! I find it absolutely fascinating..

I find it fascinating that when I post pictures of my "kill your local rapist" tattoo on social media I get tonnes of compliments and likes.. until I post it in a dating group.

Then it's crickets, except for the one 48 year old divorced dad with wraparound service station sunglasses and a shitty tribal armband who pops up to tell me "worst tattoo eva".

Nothing makes me grumpier than being woken overnight by some random shitheel on Facebook deciding the need to call me on Messenger.

It's 5am and you're very obviously drunk. You decide to call the admin of the singles group to ask "so, who IS Aby?" like you're some 1960s romcom parody. How did you think that was going to go??

Fuck off before I track you down and set fire to your car.

I just had someone on Facebook unfriend me because I pointed out that Chuck Norris was a MAGA supporter.

I don't really care tbh. Me adding them a week ago *felt wrong*, because I have a carefully curated friend list of like 60 people who I actually have friendships with.. it was a practice in widening my friend circles.

The thing that did amuse me was his screed about how I apparently "have a cry" when someone doesn't agree with me while he's the one who is deleting people he disagrees with..

Ok babe.

I just got called unethical because I told someone to contact the organiser of an event to get a question answered.

Apparently it's unethical for me to not answer the question myself.

The question—why is nobody at this pub in Bathurst right now?

My location—London.

One person mourns the death of the Open Internet.

I think a Fediverse, with multiple user-experiences, that is indexable, machine-legible, discoverable, searchable, and archivable by default could help counter this unfortunate trend.

I'm in a local Facebook group for babysitters, and just saw this..

"Looking for a in home Babysitter
Hi everyone! I’m looking for a in home babysitter for my 1 year old daughter. Preferably someone who is comfortable babysitting in home with surveillance cameras inside of the home, someone who’s qualified in CPR, has some experience with nutritional restrictions, dieting.."

Like, I have Opinions about surveillance cameras, but NUTRITIONAL RESTRICTIONS AND DIETING FOR A 1 YEAR OLD??

I've just been bullied out of an entomology meme group by fundamentalist christians because I made a joke about Anansi.

I admin a local singles group on Facebook and occasionally post questions to prompt some conversation between the members.

Today I posted asking people what podcasts they've been listening to lately.

I didn't realise that it would be such a honeypot question for incels and manosphere nonsense, and now I'm wondering if I should just ban them all from the group.

Post in local Facebook group:
Don't forget there's a power outage today between 9.30am and 1.30pm for anyone who was affected by the storm blackout.

Comment:
Is this a planned outage?
Is there any information on it?

Today I was personally tagged in a post that a man wrote in the group to complain that there aren't enough women in the group for him to find someone. There are over 300 women in the group.

Thank you to everyone who replied to my last post. It helps to know I’m not the only one who feels this way. I’m seeing a therapist to work on attachment stuff, which helps a bit.

I wanted to ask more about online communities. That’s where I feel most myself. I’m in a few Facebook groups and subreddits, and I’d be open to WhatsApp, Discord, or Messenger chats—if they’re neurodivergent-friendly. But I still find it hard to actually join in.

I’m never sure when it’s okay to jump into a conversation. If people are chatting, can I just reply with my thoughts? Or is it weird if I wasn’t already part of it? I overthink it every time.

I also really struggle to start from scratch. I can’t just message someone or say hi out of the blue. I’m fine once someone talks to me—I bounce off what they say. It’s the starting that’s hard. Same online. Posts like this are easier, but just saying “hi I’m new” feels impossible.

Not sure I’m saying this right, but I hope my #AuDHD friends get what I mean.

I admin a local singles group on Facebook and here are some of the stories...

Today, a discussion started about what people are doing on the weekend, I mentioned that classes start again on Monday so I'll probably be reading. This lead to one of the guys in the group ranting about the state of university education and how it's "been dumbed down so the foreign students pass!" (it hasn't)

So, I deleted his comment and gave him a warning that we aren't doing a racism in the group, and if he kept it up he'd be banned.

Then one of the women jumped in with a "not to be racist, but I agree" comment.. so she got banned immediately (and banned from the kink group I also run).

The guy came back with a whole "well tell me how I was racist, I didn't single out a specific race!" multi-paragraph screed.. so he got banned as well.

"Anyone else interested in getting banned? Because I have the time to spend this afternoon."

Like, how did you all think that was going to go? Sheesh.

I admin a local singles group on Facebook, and this is something I've learnt..

Maybe it's not that you're having trouble finding the right woman. Maybe you are the wrong man. For everyone.

For the love of everything good and holy, go the fuck to therapy.
