It's been a good year for @socannex. Today's episode features @annamueller and @sethabrutyn discussing their new book Life Under Pressure (2024, Oxford University Press) with me.

Today, June 23, 1593, William Shakespeare and his acting troupe perform A Midsummer Night’s Dream for Morpheus and an audience of fae folk (The Sandman: Dream Country, by @neilhimself and Charles Vess)
@neilhimself 's beautiful story is being rereleased in its 3D version in some theatres this summer!
I've never seen Coraline on screen, and from what I hear, the 3D version is a 3D movie that actual works and is remarkable to watch. It's not playing in my little city, but it feels like it could be worth driving to a nearby city to see. A little road trip might be in our future 💛💙♥️

#AllStarTrek Holy crap! Did #Janeway just casually threaten to kill all of the Nyrians by hypothermia if they didn't agree to her terms? Damn that's... uh... cold!
