It pretty much sums up 2025 that this economist dude is currently employed and I am not.

Whew, crisis averted.

I bought your product. I do NOT want to sign up for your website, get e-mails from you every day, and join your fucking "community." Be happy you got my money and leave me the hell alone.

...Or you could leave Bond dead and never do another movie because there's no fixing a deeply toxic and regressive character from an era best left in the past. For all the fans, you have plenty of it to rewatch, so enjoy that and let it go.

@doctorofthedead.bsky.social: What's that Michael Dudikoff movie where he's the villain? You know, where Susan Lucci hires a P.I. and wears a lot of turquoise? Me, no hesitation, not looking up from my game: The Woman Who Sinned I blame @rifftrax.com for this knowledge taking up brain space. 😂

Why are these called Tums Gummy Bites when Tummies is *right there* as a product name?

He murdered his wife, maybe he's not worthy of this generic post of wistful reminiscence?

"We get an hour back, so we may as well eat some more cheese," I said to my husband. He instantly and excitedly replied, "It's the cheese hour!" and I think @doctorofthedead.bsky.social and I have a new Daylight Saving tradition.

Fortifying our Halloween spirit with some groovy Dracula energy.

Came inside to make dinner and a kid took the ENTIRE BUCKET of candy off my porch instead of emptying the candy into their own bag. I genuinely don't care if you take all of it (though it's a bummer for the other late trick-or-treaters), but stealing my big fun Halloween bucket is a real jerk move.

And it's the second year they did it (skipping last year)! I mean, WTF.

Making sure we have the most sincere living room on the block.

I always pick the wrong remote for whatever we're watching, which can make other stuff happen elsewhere on various devices. This last time I was stopped by @positivelynatalie.bsky.social before I accidentally hit the wrong thing, I said in exasperation, "There are TOO many button sticks!" Truth.

We start off every Halloween with Curious George: A Halloween Boo Fest. I originally bought it for our niece to watch, but over the years we've grown to love the unique legend and world-building in the story. Plus, top-notch autumn vibes, perfect for Halloween morning. Hang on to your hats! 🎃💨🎩

Fright-Fall 2025 Day 31: Trick or Treat. This is it, the last entry for @retrosupply’s #FrightFall2025! In all (see calendar, 2nd pic), I did 21 of the 31 prompts; not bad. I've been so happy to introduce everyone to Gnashy and his friends, and we'll see you again soon! HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Waiting for the clock to strike Halloween like

This series is so quirky and sweet and fun and creepy and heartfelt and I can't believe I've been sleeping on it for so long! It's definitely staying in regular seasonal rotation for me.

This past Monday was Pickles and Bean day, but I just noticed it didn't post as scheduled. Catch up, because tomorrow is ALSO Pickles and Bean day, and it'll be Halloween Pickles and Bean day too! www.picklesandbean.com

I have never seen OVER THE GARDEN WALL, so I've decided that this is the Halloween season I finally add it to my watchlist.

Fright-Fall 2025 Day 30: Owl. Composition inspired by a shot from the "Great Pumpkin" TV special, but adapted into Gnashy world style for @retrosupply’s #FrightFall2025!

"Spooky season is almost over?" Fuck off, it's all year 'round!

Fright-Fall 2025 Day 29: Horror Movie. I wanted to start bringing Gnashy and his friends together as we approach the end of @retrosupply’s #FrightFall2025, and the movie they're watching is represented by art from my very first entry in Fright-Fall 2024!

I literally don’t know anyone who ever uses AI.

Escaped monkey reading the headlines and finding out how many viruses he's been infected with.

For this year's Halloween episode of GHOULS IN THE HOUSE, we serve up a heaping helping of 70s cheese (made more palatable by watching the @rifftrax.com versions). Find us on the ATB website or your favorite podcast app! www.atbpublishing.com/2025/10/28/e...

Just in time for Halloween! GHOULS IN THE HOUSE has a trio of feral frights for you, with Natalie and Arnold tackling NIGHT OF THE LEPUS (1972), DAY OF THE ANIMALS (1977), and KINGDOM OF THE SPIDERS (1977)! www.atbpublishing.com/2025/10/28/e...

Cutting it a bit close, but we managed to bring some spooky vibes to the lawn before Halloween. 🪦💀

Who knew the whole Doctor Who/Disney thing would turn into such a cluster? Well, pretty much everyone really.

Fright-Fall 2025 Day 28: Pumpkin. As Gnashy's story for @retrosupply’s #FrightFall2025 starts to wrap up, he carves pumpkins that look a bit like him.

Just watched it again a couple days ago, always a favorite.

Tonight's movie pick hits a little closer to home these days.

My mom got me into Trek when I was a kid and most Trek fans I know/ encounter are women. And the lead of my Star Trek show was a woman, as was the captain of the ship. So shut the fuck up.

Fright-Fall 2025 Day 26: Frankenstein. For this installment of Gnashy's story as part of @retrosupply’s #FrightFall2025, I decided to design my own version of ol' Frank on the fly, and I really like this litle brainy guy. :)

June Lockhart, forever cooking pork chops in space. RIP and farewell.

How deep is MST3K imprinted into my brain? I just read the word "skinwalker" on a website and instinctively said, out loud, "Texas skinranger."

Fright-Fall 2025 Day 25: Graveyard. Things are getting festive as Gnashy's story continues in @retrosupply’s #FrightFall2025!

It's been a not-so-great week, so I'm bringing out my favorite monster buddy and the emergency candy stash.

Today is Pickles and Bean day, and Todd is incorrigible. www.picklesandbean.com

Fright-Fall 2025 Day 23: Seance. Gnashy's tale continues as part of @retrosupply’s #FrightFall2025!

Which of these winning recipes from the 1967 Pillsbury Bake-Off would make the best euphemism? I'm leaning toward Top Me Twice Cake, but Hot Turkey Hustle Up is a real contender.

The best time to stop shopping on Amazon was yesterday. The next best time is today.
