Revealed!! I’m so excited to reveal my first collab with @arrowvideo.bsky.social & couldn’t be happier for it to be for a horror by one of my absolute favorite directors: @thehorrormaster.bsky.social IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS. Huge thanks to @neilsnowdon.bsky.social for inviting me to illustrate this!

There's a direct line from "no kink at Pride" and "no sex in movies and books unless it Serves The Plot" to payment processors feeling completely empowered to censor art globally

Rewatching Ti West and Mia Goth's X as aim to cover it on the pod soon and this line will always jump out for me: "Letting outdated traditions control you will get you nowhere in life"

The episode of Sage Advice between @sinnsage.bskyverified.social and @thelivrevamped.bsky.social was so wonderful to listen to. A raw honest conversation about Queerness and navigating the adult industry as a Queer person 💜

"maybe that's the real punk rock" I was not expecting to be moved to tears by a Superman movie but damn, this film and its overwhelming message of hope and sincerity was exactly what I needed

Listening to the latest Raleigh Ritchie album, two things: 1) Jacob Anderson is ridiculously talented 2) I know it was Lestat that had a music career but now I'm imagining Louis releasing moody slow jams and it works

This week, I’m hosting The Daily Show Tuesday through Thursday. It’s my first time hosting anything on TV. Ever. I’ve spent years writing behind the scenes, learning from truly great and talented people. Now, for three nights, I get to sit at the desk and do it myself.

I had all my past released episodes and unreleased episodes stored on my external hard drive. Unfortunately that drive was accidentally put into an industrial bin in Canada and is not retrievable. I might call my current season short, as rerecording would be too much hassle

The outfit and look for the second half of my recording with the absolutely wonderful @sinnsage.bskyverified.social

TORONTO! On August 27 I’ll be moderating a conversation with writer/director Vincenzo Natali for the 15th anniversary of his movie Splice. Tickets available: revuecinema.ca/films/homegr...

Well I think I'm going to have to cover David Cronenberg's The Shrouds on my current season Definitely on the podcast in general

Had the absolute pleasure and privilege to record one half of a two part podcast with the amazing @sinnsage.bskyverified.social and I'm so excited to record the second half.

*jerkoff motion*

Have been having a fair few issues with Acast as a podcast host after switching to them. In the process of switching back to Spotify for Creators so may be another while before future episodes are released

Took the day off to hang out with @fandppod.bsky.social ☀️

“You wanna take a photo for the ‘gram? Take one of the movie poster, or the marquee, or your ticket stub if you’re at a theater that still messes with those. Do literally anything that does not require you to take out your phone during the movie…”

We didn't have to live like this. Fuck everyone who voted to.

Happy Pride from Toronto

Just realized I should have made the joke “T2: Judgment GAY” in my review of M3GAN 2.0, but now it’s too late. Please respect my privacy and witness my shame at this time.

In Toronto which means a pilgrimage to the @vinsyn.bsky.social store.

Getting to see the Beetlejuice musical and Megan 2.0 with @theluckysharms.bsky.social yesterday was absolutely wonderful. Hanging out with your online friends in person is such a fantastic time

beyond stoked that i got to create cover art for @ewhag.com BITE BACK: POEMS out 10.9 so put it in your little calendars in your phone, write it on your hand, carve it wherever you please. very important date !!!!!!!!!

The benefit of being on a holiday in Toronto is that I got to see Bring Her Back in the cinema, as not released yet in Ireland. Such a bleak and sad film.

I think @blondekwaidan.bsky.social should make a return to the pod to chat about this fantastic film

jinkies

BREAKING: In a unanimous decision, a federal court of appeals has ruled that Louisiana's law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in all public school classrooms is unconstitutional. We’ll keep saying it: Public schools are not Sunday schools.

Thee only 28 YEARS LATER take I was waiting on ⏰ Wake up! It’s here (by Amber T @blondekwaidan.bsky.social ) www.fangoria.com/28-years-lat...

"Accidental landlords" My brother in Christ, you bought four houses. How the fuck is that accidental.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Going to in Toronto from Saturday 21 June to 8 July Will there be a store I can buy @fangoria.bsky.social magazines from? Living in Ireland I'm in a desolate wasteland of no physical Fangoria (and customs charges are more expensive than the magazine)

A reminder that this is YOUR social media experience. You don't owe anyone shit. Not your attention, your ideas, your debate, your brainspace. You can curate your Bluesky experience however you want and there is no intellectual inferiority to do so. This is not a public square; its a fucking app.

This sounds like a bit but I’m being serious: kids using chat gpt for their homework are denying themselves the invaluable experience of learning how to bullshit their way through a problem. You drink some caffeine the night before and figure it the fuck out. That’s a skill. You need it in life.

Listening to @bloodybroads.bsky.social Final Destination 6 episode and I am in full agreement with @glitterburrito.bsky.social that we NEED Eric's playlists from the tattoo sequence

Transport for Ireland continuously having buses drop off timetables and never showing up makes trying to commute to an office when you rely solely on said bus very fucking tedious

The protests today are visual evidence of why the electoral college is absolute bullshit.

I went to protests in NELA and DTLA today. It’s so beautiful to see this massive city showing up and not taking any shit. 🖤 Los Angeles 🖤

I don't think the right fully appreciates the effort it took for most queer people to become comfortable in themselves, to learn to like themselves. We won't crumble and fade away, we're built strong.

anybody whining about Sabrina Carpenter right now is an opp, or just incredibly stupid

Oh do non-monogamous relationships fail and lead to drama? As opposed to monogamous ones which are drama free and all work out, huh? Wow how *interesting*.

In other words, studios are feeding these unproduced screenplays into their AI slop machines. Cool. I know writers who won’t even pitch movies to producers if they see the producer using AI note-taking tools.

Are you the 13 minutes late ADHD or the 47 minutes early ADHD? Me: Yes

There are so many things I see in this big beautiful world right now that seem... Broken. Unfair. Cruel. As an individual it seems impossible to know what to do about it. I think that's been a defining feeling of the 21st century. Enormous access to information yet almost complete impotence.

The line dancing sequence in The Accountant 2 is fantastic

The reason generative AI is so popular with wannabe creatives is best illustrated by something every pro writer has encountered: getting pitched an idea by someone saying "You write it and we'll split the profits!" because they think the idea is what has value, not the writing. The opposite is true.

If you appreciate AI, you value your own stimulation over craftsmanship. You are not an art fan or an artist, but the good news is you may benefit from a virtual hamster wheel or a fireplace screensaver.

Pride Month so far: Jonathan Joss is murdered in a disgusting hate crime and the Navy intentionally announces they are changing the name of the USNS HARVEY MILK. America... now more than ever... David Lynch's words ring loudly. "Fix your hearts or die." This cannot be our normal.

Days like today can make it hard to write. I find that when the world wants me to curl into a ball and doomscroll, pouring that sadness, that rage, that raw contempt, onto the page itself not only helps, but sharpens my words and sometimes even makes them better. Don’t be afraid to write angry.

Not being able to legally access Doctor Who in Ireland because Disney considers us the UK and BBC iPlayer blocks us makes it very frustrating when people just come straight to social media to react

Watching the Livestream of the VHI Women's Mini Marathon as my sister is running in it and something so heartwarming about seeing so many women approaching the finish line holding hands with each other 💜 Simple but powerful image of women supporting each other
