This absolutely never happened. But even if Trvmp did draw a map, how would this brain-rotted sociopath know if it was accurate or not? I just don’t understand why fully grown-ass men behave like this. He should die from embarrassment.

I'm not sure this makes sense, but this is exactly what I would've expected John Waters' handwriting to look like

"But AI uses em dashes and semi-colons and figures of speech, so you can't use them in your--" Let me stop you right there. I don't give a damn what AI does. It will never impact the way I write. Ever. Nothing is less relevant to me than generative AI "writing" tendencies.

How I feel reading 99% of art and media critique these days

That sucks. Way way too young.

The Oscars are a farce. Langan wasn't even nominated. youtu.be/s5omfOF1nqg?...

NIGHTBREED is a fucking masterpiece.

Demonic entity caught on film. Photo from my collection, no date/info.

Mike was a guest on the Movie of the Year to discuss the tearjerking classic BRIAN'S SONG: popfilter.co/1971-brians-...

It’s always so nice to hear people say they enjoy my weekly editorials in the Fango newsletter. But the ones *I* get excited for are the guest editorials, and this week is a banger from @michaelvarrati.bsky.social - go read it! manage.kmail-lists.com/subscription...

Great gay playwright & novelist Tennessee Williams was BOTD in 1911 & died of a Seconal O.D. in 1983 at 71. Losey's "Boom" (1968), which Williams adapted from his play "The Milk Train Doesn't Stop Here Anymore," is my fave TW film, hitting twixt Coleridge & a hopped up Dr. Seuss!

Godzilla vs Biollante (1989)

If you know trans kids or adults, anything you can do to support them right now is going to go such a long way. I am sure I’m preaching to the choir as I post this, but governments all over the world are trying to make trans folks disappear in many ways, so letting people know you care is important.

Absolute madness. This shit needs to stop immediately. This Speaker is orders of magnitude even more embarrassing than McCarthy who sorted Starburst candy by color and gave Trvmp a giant jar of just his favorite color.

I- I seriously cannot express how ecstatic I am to be working with @lkscomic.bsky.social on art for this book. I'm so happy I'm gonna get to send him a thousand bucks or more. Look at these concepts, they're gorgeous! Wanna see more? Back the Kickstarter - get a book - fund more art!

BREAKING NEWS 🚨

This is supremely Gen-X nerdy of me, but I must recommend this terrific podcast. The hosts cover each episode of IN SEARCH OF… the series hosted by Leonard Nimoy, the show that set the example for all paranormal TV since. But they don’t just chat about the episodes. Instead they bring to bear an…

A great discussion of this amazing film.

“This sanewashing has been going on for a long time, and I’ve written about it before. But it keeps getting worse, and the mainstream media keep making the same mistakes in their coverage of the King of Crazytown.”

'Oh you have to accept it' 'you have to get on board it'll be everywhere' 'it's never going away' suck my entire fucking arse! I hope they all lose unfathomable amounts of money! I hope everyone is very embarrassed and ashamed!

Almost everything is shit right now, but this insane campaign of persecution against the tiniest minority of people that has been going on with increasing horror and violence is what’s keeping me enraged at all times. It’s absolute madness and stupidity.

This is just sickening. People need to be locked up for this shit.

please enjoy this "vintage movie poster" I saw in a dream which was so funny to my subconscious that I immediately woke myself up to write it down for later

TANNHÄUSER (Fritz Lang, 1926) An inconstant troubadour (Paul Richter) finds himself torn between the delectable carnality of Holda the love goddess (Louise Brooks) and Princess Elizabeth (Helen Tamiris) of Thuringia’s winsome splendor. Bernhard Goetzke as Wolfram von Eschenbach.

THE LOST WORLD (1925) Dir. Harry O. Hoyt What cannot be overstated is the lasting impact of this silent classic. It brought dinosaurs to life and helped shape cinema itself. Even now the effects inspire real awe. A hundred years on it still feels magical. If you have not seen it you should.🎞️📽️

I was delighted to have chatted about this film on The Projection Booth. This rare post on my own neglected site has a few comments on a topic that I wish I’d known more about before the show. I am somewhat amused that I feel shy about using my own blog to say something. 🙄

Camp Oliver Reed deserved his own film.

On March 23, 1973, The Crazies debuted in New York City.

A SHADOW STAINED WITH BLOOD (Massimo Cazzioni, 1976) In the midst of a viral outbreak, a deranged killer disrupts the orgiastic “pandemic party” at an Italian media tycoon’s isolated Mediterranean villa. Bernardino Zapponi’s script was adapted from Poe’s ‘Masque of Red Death.’

DANICA: QUEEN OF THE VAMPIRES (Robert Siodmak, 1954) A doctor (Vincent Price) must overcome his skepticism when a mysterious countess (Faith Domergue)  hires him to find a cure for her vampirism.  It is quickly made clear that failure will result in the death of his loved ones.

KOLCHAK: THE NIGHT STALKER (James Wan, 2019) An investigative reporter named Carl Kolchak (Bob Odenkirk) comes to suspect that Las Vegas’ newest serial killer is actually a vampire. With Joe Pantoliano as Tony Vincenzo, Linda Shaye as Miss Emily, and Lena Headey as Gail Foster.

Great gay composer & lyricist Stephen Sondheim was BOTD in 1930 & died in 2021 at 91. He didn't come out as a gay until 40, begrudgingly, but who cares? He had a rep for kinky sex that involved paraphernalia & dom-sub games and he was a poppers freak, but then again, who wasn't?

"Chinga la Migra / Fuck ICE" Seen in Boyle Heights, Los Angeles

Fuck yeah. I read this when it was new. It never gets old, and I can’t really think of an appropriate comparison in how unsettling it is. It’s the feel-bad read of the late 20th century and a goes-hard-as-fuck masterpiece. Koja absolutely rules.

The brilliant military strategist Trvmp. All the Iranians need to do is keep the strait too sketchy to pass through, which they can probably do. Afghanistan went on for 20 years. 🙄

This is so typical. I very much hope that this election turns out well. I have a couple friends in Hungary who I want to be safe in their country. Which is now run by a fascist just like my country.

As part of the re-issue of some of my books that mostly got lost in the void of 2020, I’m actually stocking up some print copies that i think I will sign and give away for random reasons. I like to sign/personal inscribe and apply glitter to the half-title page so maybe a bit of it gets in the room.

It would be surprising if the Holy Inquisition in 2026 subjected Thiel to torture or burning at the stake, and while I generally oppose that kind of thing, I’d probably let it pass without comment in this case.

Let’s say for sake of argument that in 1945 Hitler was the most celebrated ever for being a dead person. The planetary population is now nearly 4 times what it was in 1945. I bet when Trvmp finally dies, this will be applauded by more people worldwide than the entire 1945 human population.

Maybe I’ll start a podcast called “Kyler Listens to Really Old Podcast Episodes” and I’ll dredge through literature and film pod episodes from the 21st century teens years. When possible I could bring on as guests the actual hosts of these pods. Tens of people would listen to this I have no doubt.

Listening to this podcast from 8 years ago discussing Kristen Roupenian’s short story “Cat Person” in The New Yorker which went viral in the weirdest way. But just because of how weirdos reacted to it. When this story dropped, I was quite engaged with writing/literature Twitter and I remember…

These months of the US government wielding its power to terrorize and persecute a little child wearing a bunny hat will be remembered in history as a very low point for our so-called society.

Adorable! 🔥

BLACKWALL TUNNEL (Don Henry, 2018) Three commuters join forces to investigate a series of cold-case serial killings after they each separately pick up a spectral hitchhiker who claims to have been murdered in the 1980s. Starring Matthew McConaughey, Tom Hardy, and Nicholas Cage.
