Derek @derek@laserdisc.party

Allow me to reintroduce myself.

My name is Derek. I'm an internet old-timer who lives in #Montreal, and I am the founder and admin of laserdisc.party, the video store of the fediverse (or so I like to think).

And while I do talk lots about #movies (went to grad school, wrote a thesis on The Room and Snakes on a Plane, have a film-crit website and two movie podcasts), I'm just as likely to talk about #music, #mtg, #wrestling, and your garden variety comedic nonsense.

Welcome!

So I had just been podcasting for two hours and I had to keep it quiet cos it's 2 AM and my grammar's not 100% but here's my contribution to #MastoVoice https://instaud.io/2QH6

The great Scott Walker has passed away at the age of 76. https://pitchfork.com/news/scott-walker-dead-at-76

Good morning Party People, I'm on my way to work and real talk? Not thrilled about it.

8 1/2, more like 8 1/2 out of 10

time to Ray-Smuckles-backflip into the shower

I took that test and broke the damn phlegmatic scale

fucked up by not tagging that "autometa"

This morning seems like as good a time as any to do a follow prune. I'm almost following as many people here as I did on birdsite, which seems antithetical to this whole enterprise.

So if I unfollow you, no hard feelings, it's probably just we don't chat much. And even amid all the gaggery and nonsense. l.p was conceived as a way to talk to people.
