When I used to do this for a living, one of my colleagues referred to our job titles as "YouTube Goblins."

I've always loved Benny the Bull, but Sergio St. Carlos may be my new patron saint.

Before a movie today I saw an ad for AI that claimed "There's no better time to be alive" while playing a Mad Villain song.

Infinite Jest. The Entertainment. The Samizdat. "The film is so compelling that its viewers lose all interest in anything other than repeatedly viewing it, and thus eventually die." www.vox.com/future-perfe...

😂 This guy would get eaten alive in a junior high locker room. I'd love to see how "hardcore" he is against "gangbangers." He sounds like Miguel Ferrer in Robocop.

Nick Cave, my priest in grief, nails it trying to come to terms with our current state of being. "I am neither on the left nor on the right, finding both sides, as they mainly present themselves, indefensible and unrecognisable." www.theredhandfiles.com/where-do-you...

You goverment is executing random fishermen from other countries and hoping you don't give a shit.

Thinking about my friends in PDX. Stay safe. Resist smartly.

Five years ago, @brandyzadrozny.bsky.social and I did a story about rural Oregon's fever dream that Antifa was coming to their town from Portland. Hundreds showed up armed downtown because they heard on Facebook that "Antifa buses" were coming. No buses came so they said Antifa "retreated."

Really looking forward to this. Season 1 was excellent.

In Florida for a few days. Beautiful sunrise for the first day after the Rapture.

Worth it. Now stfu ya fish wrapper. www.bostonherald.com/2025/09/24/b...

Resilient gratitude 9/23/25: Those trailers for THE BRIDE and WELCOME TO DERRY. I’m intrigued.

“Hello me. Meet the real me.” MUSTAINE 2028

Repulsive. All the while these scumbags are cosplaying as cowboys. youtu.be/DE0QpRTBAeM?...

Yet another American grift. This explains why tickets to see Blood Incantation & Midwife last year went from $40 to $250 in less than a week. Honestly surprised the FTC has its shit together enough to catch this. arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

Reposting an essay I wrote back in March about resisting this administration, called “Salt and Burn the Bones." "The wendigos want to keep you glued to your phone, doom scrolling, instead of getting outside and taking action." www.wickedproblems.christiansager.org/salt-and-bur...

Iron Maiden are going to have a hell of a time making "89 Seconds to Midnight" roll off the tongue.

If you had told 24-year-old me that I would someday go to the mat to defend one-half of The Man Show, a TV show that literally had girls called “juggies” who did nothing but jump on trampolines, I would have been like “huh okay maybe it’s not the best time to go into the feminism business”

Sam McPheeters on the horror of AI art, using Jim Bakker, HP Lovecraft, and a shared nightmare about skinning dogs to make his point. open.substack.com/pub/realityb...

Things are bad out there. But this is where I live now.

I’ll be joining the No Kings mobilization kick off call tonight at 8pm EST to prepare for how we resist this government. www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

At least three messages have been sent to my employer, complaining about my colleagues who weren’t sufficiently reverential last week on social media. Burroughs once called us a "Nation of Finks." I think today he'd say we're a Nation of Grifters and Snitches. defector.com/the-united-s...

Yesterday was pub day for my novella collection, ISSUES WITH AUTHORITY. I never know how to convince people to buy things so I figured I'd just talk a bit about the three included stories and where they come from, to mark the occasion.

If I have any credibility with you from 20 years of reporting on rightwing & fascist movements, please listen when I beg you not to celebrate Charlie Kirk getting shot. Leave aside morality: this isn’t a match in dry grass, it’s a torch. We do not want what this could ignite & we would not win.

New episode of Supercontext out about FLUORESCENT BLACK by MF Wilson, Nathan Fox, and Jeromy Cox. I talk a lot about growing up in Singapore and we go down rabbit holes about transhumanism and the history of HEAVY METAL magazine. supercontextpodcast.libsyn.com/fluorescent-...

Straight out of an EC horror story. We truly live in a dystopia. bbc.com/news/article...

This Rolling Stone piece on the demise of narrative podcasts rang true with my experience in the industry. I got out in 2019 and the writing was in the wall then. www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

LAIRD BARRON kidney: I just got off the phone with Jessica. If you are interested in donating a kidney to Laird and want to see if you qualify, the quest begins at this link: nkr.donorscreen.org/register/now

I have tickets to see Shudder to Think.

I can’t help but hope that Terrance Stamp got to heaven or wherever and said, “You tell him I’m coming! Tell him I’m fucking coming!!!"

feel like I'm doing a PSA, here, but: people need blood, we got blood, solution's right there

I’m voting for whatever candidates run on the platform that actually Big Balls should get even more of the shit beat out of him.

What a wonderful world.

“Don’t let perfect be the enemy of the good” This implies that pandering to bigots is “good”

It’s a wonderful coincidence that I’m on vacation the same week that John Langan’s new story collection dropped. Not only that, but the folks at Lovecraft eZine interviewed him too. It’s @johnlangan.bsky.social week! Links below. wordhorde.com/books/lost-i... www.youtube.com/live/dKrCDUG...

Finally saw 28 YEARS LATER and I’m still processing. Despite the gruesome violence, it feels like less of a zombie threequel than a modern APOCALYPSE NOW, but meditating on death positivity. Still feverish, but also slightly psychedelic in a folk horror kind of way.

ICYMI: Writers are increasingly being targeted by scammers almakatsu.substack.com/p/scams

Since moving back to Boston I’ve been surprised at how many venues, artists & promoters here are locked up by Ticketmaster or AXS. Look no further if you want a perfect case study for capitalist realism & enshittification. Their service is terrible, overpriced, & everyone assumes it’s unavoidable.

A new episode of Supercontext came out on Friday about the third season of RESERVATION DOGS. supercontextpodcast.libsyn.com/reservation-...

Played SWYVERS for the first time last night. Enjoyed pretending to be a Dickensian grave robber with an opium addiction. David Hoskins art is stunning. www.swyvers.com

The real impact of this tariff nonsense.

Only in Boston do you see your mailman screaming at his phone in the rain, "Aw naw ya bitch! Whadda ya want now!?"

I'm confused by 2 unrelated things I just read on here. Why are artists against Alt-Text? And why is the city of Portland, Oregon kowtowing to the federal government?

Is it just me or does it seem like the ratio of comic book-to-tv/film news coming out of SDCC is higher than it has been in almost 20 years? Things may be different on the ground. But my feed is surprisingly high in comics announcements.

I’m not a proponent of technological determinism, but this is a fascinating example of what we’re starting to call AI-induced psychosis and how it overlaps with horror stories told through the SCP Foundation creepy pastas. A whole new take on “Why Horror?" www.garbageday.email/p/the-tech-b...

I’ve yet to see a valid news report that’s actually analyzed her supposed declassified documents, but sure let’s believe Valentina Allegra de Fontaine over here. We’ll just ignore her history of openly supporting Putin and the war on Ukraine.

Public media. The idea is a simple assertion: the public deserves easy access to news and information about the world, so that they can make evidence-based decisions about everything from health and economics, to politics and art. The US government is defunding public media. Ask yourself why.
