Looking forward to an updated zombie apocalypse movie where the rugged survivors have to avoid the undead and the driverless waymo cars that are still zipping around

Finished sound design work on a short horror film this week and I realized the file names for the sound effects are a solid song list for a heavy metal album: Head-Stab, Monster-Smack, Sudden-Chomp, Layered-Screams, Squelching-Final.

Joseph Scrimshaw’s “Dead Media” Premieres at the Parkway Theater in Minneapolis
Has a scary movie night ever left you a little too jumpy? Have you been sent running to hide under the covers, convinced there were monsters creeping behind every corner?

CALIFORNIANS: have you voted yet? if not there’s still time! however, you need to use a ballot drop box or vote in person. DO NOT MAIL YOUR BALLOT. (trump and the goons borked the usps so things aren’t always postmarked at the point of origin, which means it could be marked late and won’t count.)

Californians, if you haven't mailed your ballot, take it to a drop box or polling place. Your mail-in won't count if it's not postmarked by today, and USPS no longer guarantees same-day postmark. Don't risk your ballot not being counted. And sign up for ballottrax!

An insane level of corruption—even for Trump. A $1.7 BILLION slush fund for Trump’s hand-picked stooges to hand money to January 6th insurrectionists and his political allies. Here’s the President’s priority as Americans sell their plasma to afford gas and groceries:

FWIW, because this seems hard to find, this was at the University of Central Florida, and the speaker is Gloria Caulfield, "VP of strategic alliances" at Tavistock Development Company, which the more I google the more it sounds like a villain in a Mission Impossible film.
