The new 4K UHD Blu-ray of 1990's NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD helps make the case for George A. Romero's remake of his own movie, as I wrote for Inverse: www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

A direct influence on the earliest St. Remedius stories, with the additional what-if of people getting a little blasé about the saturation of advanced technologies and magics in their lives.

If you see this, quote the energy you bring to bsky:

Oh, man. After reading the article, what it actually says is that an historian did a lot of archival work and spatial research to determine the site of a killing and then the family of the likely perpetrator stepped forward with photographs to confirm identity. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

So a thing quietly happening in the background for awhile now is rich parents dosing their kids with growth hormone. I think it's hilarious we're gonna have a generation of seven foot three ogres who claim a working class background and get mad when you ask how they paid for that trip to Europe.

The Anthropic settlement list is up. Authors, check here to see if your books are included: www.anthropiccopyrightsettlement.com

Spectacular concentric zoning and twinning of large titanaugite in essexite (nepheline monzogabbro) from Lennoxtown, Scotland. Plagioclase inclusions within the phenocryst align with zoning just as proximal groundmass plagioclase align with its edge. #ThinSectionThursday 🧪⚒️

I think we all need these masks.

The official database of works eligible for the Anthropic AI settlement has been released and, as I suspected, many authors are screwed. Basically, if your books weren't officially registered with the US Copyright Office you're out of luck. 1/ secure.anthropiccopyrightsettlement.com/lookup/results

Excellent analysis of Meta’s new AI-generated video slop feed

Job interview: “So who is the best Captain: Kirk or Picard?” Pete Hegseth: “Rhodes.”

This shit WAS PROGRAMMED to rope you into the kind of relationship you have with a narcissist or Borderline Personality Disorder kind of human, if you have not yet had the displeasure to fall into THAT hole let me assure you all, YOU ARE NOT IMMUNE! Don't post the AI shit!

If you want a hook for discussion post a screenshot for God's sakes, we're not dispassionate rational beings, we're East African Plains apes!

STOP POSTING AI SLOP ON THE TIMELINE! You, yes you, are not immune to falling into a spiral of solipsism and nostalgia just because you do words good, respect your mental hygiene and that of your followers!

October is #BatAppreciationMonth! In that vein, meet the #GhostBat! The ghost bat preys on large vertebrates including birds, reptiles and other mammals—it is the only Australian bat to do so! www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/28522650 Via the Natural History Museum Library, London

Here’s a sneak peek! This is one of my favorites! I looked at a lot of photos of lions eating elephants for this drawing and let me tell you: it was gross.

A reminder here that there is no evidence any talent agency is actually trying to "sign" a generated video. By all appearances, this is yet another failing AI company flat out lying to the press.

One of my favorite anecdotes from THE PREHISTORY OF THE FAR SIDE: "That doesn't sound like the Jane Goodall we know."

I'm honestly amazed that crypto bros aren't going for the obvious animated representatives. If any animated characters summed up the heart and soul of cryptocurrency, it's these two:

me normally: leave small content creators alone, you giant bullies me watching this garbage: critical support to Comrade Mouse in the war against AI crypto slop

And still no Dallas stop. C'mon, @halfpricebooks.bsky.social : the flagship store would be PERFECT for this.

I do not want to be rooting for the legal departments of major copyright holders stop making me do that

let the gourd times roll

dunno maybe just me but Excel does not seem like a place you want vibes instead of actual exact and correct numbers?

Ever notice that the executives yelling the loudest about putting AI in everything are the same ones that yell about having to read, write, and think? I'm waiting for this to come full circle and offer "vibe working" in Outlook.

More temporary palaeo exhibitions to check out in China, fossil fish in "Touch the Deep Ocean". At the Phoenix Centre, Beijing.

Ipomoea microdactyla is another hummingbird-pollinated species, but this one is from the Antilles, Bahamas & the southernmost tip of Florida, where it is listed as Endangered. It is supremely garden-worthy. #Convolvulaceae #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

October is here! It’s our month. Let’s make it a good one. Anyway, still thinking about that Hello Kitty horror anthology. In this cute tattoo, for example, we are invited to think about the first step of the surgery: giving two of them mouths/lips so they could be attached.

one of the most important conversations tech companies should have about every new feature and product is "how can this be abused" and in OpenAI's case they apparently decided to make that the selling point for their new app this is a million lawsuits and ruined lives waiting to happen

Brendan Carr gives the energy of someone determined to get revenge on the world for getting multiple swirlies every morning until he finished college...and he was homeschooled.

Also a greater variety is better. 2 cups of green beans < 1 cup green beans + 1 cup shiitake mushrooms, red peppers, shredded purple cabbage, bok choy

Vegetables for breakfast? Yes. Vegetables for lunch? Great. Vegetables for dinner? Extremely great.

I have been trying to pay attention to how certain foods make me feel energy-wise and one thing is clear: my body loves vegetables.

We used to be a proper country. (And yes, this is the book that instigated the Dead Gopher incident.)

My people.

this is the greatest thing in the world to me rn and i am so happy

Holy moly, live cam on Kilauea!

New St. Remedius installment coming soon, but man oh man do I want to write more about St. Remedius food trucks. stremedius.com/2025/09/25/s...
