Odd, how we can’t afford to give Americans healthcare, but we can afford to drop $200,000,000,000 on Argentina with a moment’s notice.

Standout sequel, a triumph of stunning production design. Karloffs last film as the monster but as wily Ygor this really belongs to Lugosi. 1939 #horrorcommunity #horrorfamily #film #horrormovie #horrorfilm #horrorfan #classichorror #horroraddict #filmsky #horrorsky #mutantfam #horrorfam #belalugosi

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

Finally a government says the obvious.

Yes! Seems like I've seen more this year than in the past 2-3 years combined!

My wife Shelby is probably the biggest Robin Hood fan I know, and she would absolutely agree with this view. We're currently halfway through the 2006 BBC series (an old favorite of hers, a first watch for me). Fun is what it's going for above all else.

RIP Claudia Cardinale

fmu it's the year of wanting revenge for being alive

🎃 Happy Official Spooky Season! 🎃

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

Son of Godzilla (1967)

If you, like me, are having a hard time sustaining much attention for reading these days (who can blame us?!) and you want to support cool DIY art, pick up our zine freak bundle. Bite-sized horror, Weird fic, and oddities, plus art by me! www.cursedmorselspress.com/product/zine...

One of the things I genuinely love about my job is learning little, largely inconsequential but no less interesting (to me, at least) tidbits of info like "meal worms are especially good for peafowl chicks."

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

He said the quiet part out loud as he celebrated Colbert & Kimmel getting canceled, saying Myers & Fallon will soon follow for "hitting Trump". They're being canceled for criticizing him, no matter what FCC says. No other president did this. Satire has been canceled along with the First Amendment.

Can vouch for quality, communication, and timeliness. A pro.

This story is not getting the attention it deserves in fact it should be so shocking that it took over the CK story at this point. However, you would be hard pressed to find more than a couple people who even know what happened

This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.

The Republican reaction to Kirk’s murder has been a campaign of state repression that ends with Trumpist toadies deciding what Americans are allowed to think, do and say. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

A man very recently called for “involuntary lethal injection” for the mentally ill and the unhoused. Literally talking about murdering other humans—and he still kept his job. Brian Killmeade, Fox & Friends.

That deafening silence is the collective roar of every free speech absolutist staying quiet while the government tells us what to say, what art is appropriate, who deserves to be on TV, and what books your kids can read.

Now live: Charlie Kirk was a Nazi and no one should be expected to engage in performative mourning over his murder. skepchick.org/2025/09/char...

I reject AI I reject fascism I reject all the small, hateful things And the big, awful things The petty, pathetic people in power try to shove down my throat I reject your greed I reject your selfishness I will make my Art & scream, even if it's to a Void I will never capitulate to Evil. Fuck You

Trump just designated “Antifa” as a terrorist organization, on par with ISIS and Al Qaeda. As a reminder, “antifa” is short for “antifascist”. They will use this lie to surveil, imprison, and kill Americans on the left. This may be our Reichstag Fire moment. Wake up. www.cnn.com/2025/09/17/p...

TERRORISM EXPERT HERE: He cannot designate an idea as a terrorist group. There is no org called ANTIFA. There is no leadership or funding path or no membership. Also there is no terrorism law in America. Ask Luigi. He wants to call anyone a terrorist. That’s Fascism. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

REMINDER: A top Democratic leader was assassinated in her home mere months ago and it didn't get nearly the outpouring of grief and righteous anger from those in institutional power as the murder of a right-wing propagandist who said, among other awful things, that "some gun deaths" are necessary.

snagged this so quick

Have you read my award-winning story "The Power Company Detective"? Okay, okay; you got me. I'm lying. The only award it won is in my heart. www.seizethepress.com/2025/03/29/t...

If you're an HWA member who woke up this morning & thought "I should recommend some short non-fiction to the Stoker recommended reading list," allow me to point you to this 3126 word essay I wrote for Nightmare Magazine (Aug 2025) - "Plumbing the Depths: Archaeology in Horror Fiction."

For those who don't recall, the closest ship to the Titanic was The Californian. They did not respond to distress signals. The Carpathia did, from much further away. That captain was a hero. This is so worth your time.

I hear people are talking about more short story collections. Yes, hello, I would like more collections by @seanbirnie.bsky.social, @casskhaw.bsky.social, @acwise.bsky.social, @thomasha.bsky.social, @stevetoase.bsky.social, @sillysyntax.bsky.social, and many others not on Bsky please and thank you 🖤

It truly cannot be restated enough that earlier this year Trump pardoned everyone involved with J6, the largest event of political violence in the US in my lifetime. They have absolutely no credibility here and deserve to be confronted with this fact whenever they're in public.

"We had entered a stretch of the river where the channel divided into...an internal delta. Huge sand-banks rose through the surface, and we moved across an almost abstract landscape of golden bars that emerged from the water like the limbs of a bathing giant." - J. G. Ballard, THE DAY OF CREATION

What somebody does with their own body is their business, nobody else's. Full stop. What's so hard about that, even if it does get the knuckle-dragging mouthbreathers all hot and bothered?

Trans rights are human rights. I just say that whenever I reach a new follower plateau so you can fuck right off if you wandered into the wrong room.

Trans rights are human rights. Full stop.

I was in attendance for this. Quite a beautiful encapsulation here from @amypenne.bsky.social on @smilepolitely.com. It was truly like traveling back in time. Even better than the Hunchback of Notre Dame centennial screening a few years ago. www.smilepolitely.com/arts/phantom...

WSJ must retract the information stating the bullets had trans messaging.

So far "The Daemons" and "Terror of the Zygons" are my personal favorite serials. I'll admit I've been jumping around a bit.

I think I may be slowly becoming a Whovian for Pertwee and Baker specifically.

MAGA blamed immigrants, trans people, the left, and Democrats for Charlie Kirk’s murder. Crickets when they found out Tyler Robinson is a lily-white Mormon from a gun-loving Republican family. Funny how that works, huh?!

Brazil’s former wannabe Dictator Bolsonaro has officially been convicted and sentenced to 27 years in prison for inciting an insurrection after losing an election. And that’s how it’s done, Brazil understood the assignment unlike the United States.

Thank you @steveshives.bsky.social for honestly being a true ally and frankly a refreshing voice. Watch the whole thing. youtu.be/zY04Tr8dokE?...

The evil that men do lives after them

A gun-violence apologist and stochastic terrorist has died from gun violence, in a country in which children are routinely gunned down en masse, led by an administration that has also just wantonly murdered 11 foreign civilians in international waters. Let's keep some goddamn perspective.

Pritzker nails this response. Folks, take notes.
