When your choice of Dead By Daylight killers, the site of the trial, and your decision to grab a screenshot match up... poorly.

Democratic Party negotiation process.

More truths from the Good @drleocroft.bsky.social: Sorry, bitch. That era’s over. We’re not asking for seats at your table anymore. We built our own, and it’s got better food... medium.com/@drleocroft/...

While Trump and his mouthpieces wail "UNCONSTITUTIONAL!" about things that are not, Trump's Dumdum Macoute keeps doing things that actually ARE. (In this case, Amendment 4; overall, almost the entire goddamned thing.)

‪Supreme Commander Bone Spurs and Col. Kegstand are essentially two eight-year-old boys banging toy soldiers together and shouting about how tough they are. Except the "toys" they bang together are real human lives.

Obama left office almost ten years ago. The new premiums should be known as TrumpDon'tCare.

The darkness outside my door clutches tight around the frame. Faint orbs drift in liquid blackness, slipping through its depths and winking like eyes... yet THEY ARE NOT EYES. If stones could howl, their grating cries might echo the sound within my ears. Darkness enters. I depart. #HorrorWritersChat

God is bored, and we're his second-favorite favorite sitcom. What's his favorite? You really don't want to know. #HorrorWritersChat

An ofrenda shrine to a little girl slain by a drunk cop, shimmering with candlelight and tucked down an alley between a popular bodega and the best food truck in town. The girl's plush Stitch toy squats at the center. Anyone disturbing this shrine deserves whatever he gets. #HorrorWritersChat

Greetings, all and sundry! I am Dr. Satyr, keeper of miracles and terrors just out of sight in our everyday world. Though I venture on occasion to strange realms or distant times, my tales most often reveal glorious and awful truths about how "mundane" our world is NOT. #HorrorWritersChat

Zohran has ended his victory speech by summoning and entrapping the spirit of Andrew Cuomo in a Greater Soul Gem. The translucent former governor's mouth hangs open in a pained howl as he writhes within the jewel, but makes no sound.

Apropos of nothing in particular this morning, of course. Why do you ask? satyrosphilbrucato.wordpress.com/2024/06/21/y...

This is what the President of the USA, head of the Republican Party, did on the night before cutting off SNAP to tens of millions of Americans, many of whom voted for them. This is why you have to VOTE TOMORROW.

"...the federal government will, of necessity, get involved!" Say "small government" again. SAY "SMALL GOVERNMENT" AGAIN, I DARE YOU! I DOUBLE DARE YOU, MOTHERFUCKER...

Inspired by yesterday's music debate, I whipped together a playlist of some my favorite 21st-century rock artists. No, Greta Va Fleet aren't on it. I used that photo to make a point. I don't hate them, but I don't love 'em either. These artists, I love. Enjoy! open.spotify.com/playlist/4yq...

I can't be the only one noticing that rockist old curmudgeons grousing about how "No one makes great music anymore" are often the same ones trashing new artists who either ARE making great music that doesn't sound like classic rock, or trashing new artists for sounding TOO MUCH like classic rock.

Most of those monuments were raised in the 1920s, not the 1950s. Even so - points made and truths told.

More truth from the Good @drleocroft.bsky.social: ...I recognize the language of exhaustion. I know the dialect of trying not to break in public. And if a white person feels excluded by that? Then congratulations — you just met what exclusion feels like... medium.com/the-polis/be...

HAPPY HALLOWEEN, from the Boopest of Schnooters.

Happy Satan's birthday, or something stupid like that.

"Iz bezt con-o-me's evar! Foxz Newz said so! God-King Trump said so! Newzpaperz said so! Why I not haz job? Y Hangry? IZ IMM'GRANTZ! IZ CHINAHZ! MAGA-MAGA-MAGA!!!"

I don't rewatch any particular movies on Halloween. I watch whatever I feel like watching at the time. This, however, was my favorite movie that I saw on Halloween. Mosque Theatre, Richmond, VA, October 31, 1983, with live accompaniment from one of the few Wurlitzer grand pipe organs in the USA.

I want you to set a fire so goddamn big, the gods'll notice us again... Happy Devil's Night.

My new Halloween playlist commemorates my impending collection Breaking the Devil's Bread, currently at press, coming soon from @nightmarepress.bsky.social. Enjoy! open.spotify.com/playlist/6bU...

Our era could benefit from the old tales where greed and hubris lead to destruction. 'Cause we seem to have forgotten that shit.

Being Pagan, I often write about clashes between primal nature and modern technology. Primal nature often wins. The irony of me writing those stories on a computer in the climate-controlled office where I play videogames is not lost on me.

As a kid who grew up surrounded by forest, and as a teenage insomniac who wandered around in them at night, I was - and remain - entranced by the primordial power of the Dark Woods. That element features prominently in my work.

Hola! I'm Satyr, I write many things, and Young Me was squeamish about gore; fascinated by lurid movie posters, record, book and magazine covers; and utterly freaked out by the artwork of Robert Crumb, Steven Kellogg, Ray Kruz, and Fred Banbery.

As a member of my family put it a few years ago: "I think anyone who won't work should just die." Yes, he meant it. Yes, that remark, and other like it, inflicted significant damage on our relationship. And no, he wasn't always this way. He used to be the opposite. Yet another MAGA casualty.

So, real question: Is there any group, or coalition of groups, doing the work of cataloging everything we're going to have to rebuild? Because we as an entire nation DESPERATELY need an anti-Project2025 - not as an extremist thing, but to keep track of all the work that will need to be done.

I miss the lives we used to have, and I'm so goddamned angry with everyone who either made this happen (Republicans, techbros, bigots, fascists) or allowed it to happen (Democrats, antivaxxers, leftier-than-thous, and other folks too stupidly gullible to be trusted with democracy and the internet).

For the first time in roughly a year, I have returned to Dead By Daylight. Anyone else here play it?

Part I of my story about being stabbed while working at a Halloween haunt: If it’s true that one must bleed on Halloween, then I guess I’ve done my part. Okay, it wasn’t exactly Halloween Day when I made my sacrifice, but… well, it’s complicated. Let me explain... medium.com/@philbrucato...

MAGA's finishing what bin Laden began.

When the jukebox in your head switches from Jesus Christ Superstar to Black Flag's "My War."

My minigame Creatures of the Dark: A Game of Forbidden Desire is available in itch.io for just $1.50. Enjoy! satyrosbrucato.itch.io/creatures-of...

Y'all, Riley Finch's debut album is fire. Cross early Evanescence and Alanis Morrisette with elements of Arch Enemy, Rage Against the Machine, and the occasional lifted riff from Disturbed. Twist the knife in subtly queer directions... youtu.be/ibHozP7pZns?...

That screaming sound you just heard was several million white supremacists howling at the affront reality presents to their view of Rome as a paradise of pale supermen with British accents.

Hola, everyone! I'm Satyr, I write stuff, a collection of my short stories is on the way from @nightmarepress.bsky.social, and my AuDHD Muse bounces between several WIPs. Process-wise, I'm a gardener not an architect. That said, I DO guide my work with intent. #WeeknightWriters #FirstDraftFall
