This hits a lot of the notes I've been shouting from the rooftops: the frictionlessness of both producing and consuming slop, and the value of labor as friction that lets us slow down and think. Rather than "unlocking creativity" it's rendering our collective creativity down into a big vat of slop.

why the hell are they confirming trump's judges when trump's speaker of the house won't swear in Grijalva?

Seems wild to have to make it clear in 2025, but: nazis are bad and we shouldn’t tolerate or validate them or their ideology in any way.

See the issue is that Trump ran on releasing on the Epstein files, and Bondi said she had them sitting on her desk ready to go, and then Elon Musk tweeted that Trump was in them and they were suddenly deemed a hoax and Ghislaine was moved to a spa prison, so you can understand the fresh intrigue

this also drives me insane, this idea that it is the most normal thing in the world for a young (white) man to have a nazi curious phase. it isn’t!

So you can’t call out the official White House account for lying on here (bad, to be clear)…but you can at least report every skeet on its page as misleading (because they all factually are).

“Fuck AI” — Guillermo del Toro 🎥 Vanity Fair

I got a chance to join the always amazing @joelipsett.bsky.social and @tracedthurman.bsky.social to chat cotton candy cocoons, popcorn bazookas and all things KILLER KLOWNS FROM OUTER SPACE on this week’s @horrorqueers.bsky.social! So dodge those suspicious balloons, have a listen and enjoy! 🛸 🤡 🍿

ChatGPT gave a significant portion of my students the wrong answer to an easy quiz question that everyone used to always get right I had two groups of students turn in annotated bibliographies that were ChatGPT generated - not a single citation actually existed

The bust of George Romero that's currently in the Monroeville Mall, where Dawn of the Dead (78) was shot.

Really unfortunate to see Grant Morrison fall into the trap of a smart person talking themselves into some stupid shit.

Ohhh hell yeah! @paulisgreat2000.bsky.social is the guest on this week’s episode of @horrorqueers.bsky.social talking about KILLER KLOWNS FROM OUTER SPACE. Guaranteed to be a good listen 🤡 🍭

‼️ 123/2000 ‼️ If you have any spare funds, could you donate $50 to provide shelter for my family? I urgently need $2,000.

Oh no, we’ve lost Drew Struzan. What an amazing talent…. :(

Gov. Newsom vetoed a bill that would have tracked data centers’ growing water footprint. He says California is “well positioned” to support the AI-driven data center boom, and he is reluctant to impose “rigid reporting requirements.” www.latimes.com/environment/...

First look at Sam Raimi’s new film ‘SEND HELP’, starring Rachel McAdams and Dylan O'Brien. The horror thriller follows 2 co-workers who hate each other but get stranded together on a desert island after their plane crashes. In theaters on January 30, 2026.

Fun announcement! I was lucky enough to get to contribute essays to these two gorgeous Hammer releases for THE HORROR OF FRANKENSTEIN and SCARS OF DRACULA for StudioCanal— Hammer has been a love/obsession of mine for quite sometime and this is an absolute dream come true!

When choosing the life of a masked monster, the rules to live by are often categorized as a list of Scooby-Doos and Scooby-Don'ts.

Today is officially the day SHIVERS turns 50, so you’re required to listen to our episode on this Canadian classic.

I was already interested in INVINCIBLE VS, but it 100% gets my money now just so I can regularly hear “Fuck you, Nolan” as a fighting game taunt. www.youtube.com/watch?v=likY...

He said this in January lol

the city of los angeles burned in january in part because of a man who couldn’t stop generating images of burning cities on ChatGPT, and then after he lit the fire he asked if the fire he started was his fault

[31 DAYS OF HORROR] DAY 8 - EVIL DEAD RISE. Director Lee Cronin stated that they used over 1,700 gallons of fake blood on this film, which makes sense for how goopy this movie is! RISE is more of a spiritual successor to Sam Raimi’s originals but it makes good use of the EVIL DEAD series trademarks.

Dan Trachtenberg's 2022 sci-fi horror hit PREY will hit theaters for the very first time this November as part of a double bill with PREDATOR: BADLANDS.

Today is a good day to remind people, FREE PALESTINE!

There's a lot about AI out there but this from @pluralistic.net.web.brid.gy is all you need to know. For those of us building tech and looking for regime change on internet, we need to be ready for when it hits. pluralistic.net/2025/09/27/e...

They tell us to leave, but where do we go when every place is a target? Families move in circles, running from death that follows everywhere. My family has lost everything but faith that someone will care enough to help us. please donate to save us💔🙏🏻 tinyurl.com/anas-need-yo...

@nolanmcbride.bsky.social Displacement is not just losing a home it is losing the walls that carried our laughter, the streets that carried our footsteps, the schools that carried our futures. In Gaza we carry only grief, hunger, and the hope that someone remembers we exist. Please save us 💔🙏🏻

Pretty clear Stephen Miller, Noem, Hegseth and Trump are trying to provoke a Civil War at this point. What's interesting is they want to do it now, because even though they're unpopular, they seem to believe this is the most popular they'll be ever again. We can't let them win.

They’re using American tax dollars to fund infrastructure in Argentina because that’s where they’re all going to flee when we kick them out of office

I checked out (and loved) MAGIC COP a couple of years ago and was happy to find out it was technically part 4 of a larger series. Since I’m maining Nitara right now and in the mood for vampires, I’m using that as my excuse to watch MR. VAMPIRE tonight.

(“Sympathy is a Knife” was about Charli more than Taylor and, importantly, SUCH A GOOD TRACK. Taylor rolls out and calls Charli a coke head in the first line of “Actually Romantic.” Brat is a masterpiece and Taylor needs to make better albums or get over it.)

I’m going to need everyone who doesn’t want to hear my TED talk about the Taylor/Charli feud to avoid me. I am beyond stopping myself. Big feelings! Big feelings!

United States immigration authorities are moving to dramatically expand their social media surveillance, with plans to hire nearly 30 contractors to sift through posts, photos, and messages to target people for deportation.

Some schools will be starved of resources. Other schools will be offered bribes. The end goal is the same. To make the universities an extension of the Trump administration. Shame on any of these institutions willing to take the bribes.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES should you give a list of the prescriptions you take to a federal government that has directly targeted people with chronic illness, mental illness, disability, autism, etc, with the eugenic language of elimination and stated outright they’re everything wrong with the country.

I’ve started playing Nitara this week, so time to look back at the most recent season of Kombat League. I mained Takeda, who has an absurd arsenal of stylish moves and feels like an evolved Scorpion. He’s easily one of my favorite characters I’ve played in MK1 (likely tied with his cousin Kenshi).

The language of non-consent around AI is really telling. "It's too late to be scared." "It's here whether we want it or not." "You'll have to learn to work with it." "You can't fight the inevitable." All just variations of "you're not allowed to say no." Creepy technology made by creepy people.

I always love programming double features with @riskeadam.bsky.social and our horror doubles are some of my favorites to do

Happy October! 🎃 I want to do something fun to support @neonsplatter.bsky.social - it's a great site that's celebrating '95 horror this month & I want to get them new followers. Just follow them, share a post & leave a screenshot below for a chance to win a movie from ARROW! US only. Ends 11/1.
