Fuck the New York Times. (Except for their cooking app. It’s really good and probably does not hide evidence about pedophiles.)

NEW: Dems easily flipped the sheriff's office in Pennsylvania's Bucks County, a big swing county in the Philly suburbs. So? The incumbent GOP sheriff had contracted with ICE. His Dem challenger promised to end the contract. Now he wants other swing-state Dems to look at his victory as a lesson:

If you live in Seattle, and you vote, and you care about who your next mayor is, log in to the King County Ballot Tracker (it’s very quick and easy) and check that your ballot was counted. This race is so close that it might make an actual difference. info.kingcounty.gov/kcelections/...

This was a good read. Btw, did you know that after Joyce Carol Oates posted this Elon responded that she's a liar and then he immediately began going under film posts and replying "Great movie". I'm not even joking. 😂

If you haven't checked to make sure your vote counted, you need to do it now - the race for Seattle's future depends on it!

Lucky for the Seahawks, they’re playing the [checks timeline] Senate Democrats this week.

Yet is there hope. Time and tide flow wide.

My ballot was challenged and it only took me two minutes to correct. Please, check your ballot status!

Perplexed by Ryan Adams. He combined country music with a snotty punk rock attitude, and is also racist and stupid? A head scratcher.

Also, plz allow me to pull my own Seattle-flavored Mamdani by wishing Sara Nelson the best in her private life and chucking Fremont Brewing's products into every trash bin in this city for the rest of my days

the entire twitter and group chat poisoned elite of American society who decided Trump winning an election by 1.5% heralded a thousand year reich may have miscalculated a bit

“Oh poor people can buy popsicles with food stamps” shut the fuck up the government gives perverts a trillion dollars in government money each year for pervert factories for billionaires the fucking popsicles are none of your fuckin business

If ICE agents begins harassing voters on the way to vote on Tuesday, we need local prosecutors to charge the ICE officers with state law crimes. We need to send a message for 2026 that they will be swiftly arrested.

We did it folks. Day 31 of the @scarecrowvideo.bsky.social #SCVpsychochallenge I Remember Halloween (anything goes)—WEAPONS (2025) Glad I finally watched this. It was really…something? Like 3 different movies frankensteined together, so perfect for Halloween I guess. 🎃

Hazel is really jazzed about her Halloween witch costume.

friend shared this, immediately updated my settings

Day 30 of the @scarecrowvideo.bsky.social #SCVpsychochallenge Devil’s Night (mischief & mayhem)—PSYCHOMANIA (1973) It’s THE WILD ANGELS meets DRACULA A.D. 1972 in this classic tale of teens versus innocent bystanders. Features the wackiest pro-suicide scenes since M.A.S.H.!

Someone please make this movie IMMEDIATELY.

HAPPENING NOW: Portland Police Commander Franz Schoening testifies that federal officers on Oct. 18 barraged protesters with crowd control munitions — not because of any violence but because another federal officer accidentally shot tear gas onto the roof of the ICE facility.

Creepy cartoon fun! 👻🎃 In THE HAUNTED HOUSE (1929), #MickeyMouse faces a swarm of skeletons who make him play the organ — with some animation from THE SKELETON DANCE! 💀🐭 More spooky season ⤵️ archive.org/details/@ste... #Halloween #SpookySeason

Day 28 of the @scarecrowvideo.bsky.social #SCVpsychochallenge This is jeopardy (must solve clues)— A GAGGLE OF GALLOPING GHOSTS (Scooby Doo, Where Are You? 1969) No ghosts OR galloping, but lots of cool monster designs in this episode from the great first season of Scooby Doo.

Day 27 of the @scarecrowvideo.bsky.social #SCVpsychochallenge Trancing and Hypnotism —ABBOTT AND COSTELLO MEET FRANKENSTEIN (1948) “I’m something of a wolf myself!”

Our all-16mm SECRET VAULT OF TORMENT is this Tues Oct 28 @ 7pm at NW Film Forum. We’re showing a bonkers secret mid-‘30s horror feature + a bunch of spooky shorts. Our feature’s an orig “SHOCK!” TV print. Here’s some pgs from the series’ 1958 pressbook. Tix & info: sprocketsociety.org/coming-soon/

Day 22 of the @scarecrowvideo.bsky.social #SCVpsychochallenge Wreck Tangle (features a car crash)—THE BRAIN THAT WOULDN’T DIE (1962) One of our favorites, I’m still amazed how gruesome (and horny!) this is for its time. A lot of bang for your buck, which is also how much this cost to make.

Day 21 of the @scarecrowvideo.bsky.social #SCVpsychochallenge Twinners Circle—BLOOD RAGE (1983/1987) Might be the first horror movie I’ve seen without a single moment of mystery or suspense. Louise Lasser is fantastic, though. I would love a supercut of just her weird improvised scenes.

Tell the backhoe guy he's getting arrested in 2029.

Calling in the big guns today. Go #mariners !

Day 19 of the @scarecrowvideo.bsky.social #SCVpsychochallenge The Abandoned Place—THE LEGEND OF HELL HOUSE (1973) Is this a ripoff of the far superior The Haunting? Yes. Is it still awesome to see them try to kill a ghost with a giant computer? Hell yes!

Day 18 of the @scarecrowvideo.bsky.social #SCVpsychochallenge Video Store Day!—LATE NIGHT WITH THE DEVIL (2023) Rented from the legendary Scarecrow Video in Seattle, where my wife and I met as co-workers about 100 years ago. Saw lots of old friends there today—and the movie was pretty good too!

Seattle No Kings from the monorail

No Kings includes this asshole

Day 17 of the @scarecrowvideo.bsky.social #SCVpsychochallenge The Watchening (title must end with “ing”) —THE HAUNTING (1963) One of the few times that a perfect book was adapted into a perfect movie (which later inspired a shitty remake and an even shittier Netflix series, but I digress).

AI is like cheating off the guy next to you on a test, then realizing they are even dumber than you.

Day 16 of the @scarecrowvideo.bsky.social #SCVpsychochallenge Sequelar Subtitular (sequel with a silly name) —THE HOWLING II:YOUR SISTER IS A WEREWOLF (1985) The title is the least crazy part of this jaw-dropping wackadoodle trainwreck/masterpiece.

Or position 3: Fuck off with your bad faith arguments meant to make yourself feel better

Day 15 of the @scarecrowvideo.bsky.social #SCVpsychochallenge Goes Without Saying (little to no dialogue) —THE SKELETON DANCE (1929) + SKELETON FROLIC (1937) Needed to keep it short tonight so we went with a couple of classics from cartoon genius Ub Iwerks.

Day 14 of the @scarecrowvideo.bsky.social #SCVpsychochallenge Shut the Face Up (TV cut of an R-rated movie) —THE AMAZING COLOSSAL MAN (1957) Ok, this one was really hard so we sorta cheated and watched the MST3k version which, while not technically rated R, did contain a nearly nude giant?

Day 13 of the @scarecrowvideo.bsky.social #SCVpsychochallenge Hollywood Back (made by or starring indigenous people) —CLEARCUT (1991) Graham Greene is magnificent in this Very Canadian horror movie.

Elon Musk is a white nationalist. Anyone who needs more data points to reach this conclusion is beyond help or persuasion. If you buy, rent, service, or supercharge a Tesla you are supporting the most powerful white nationalist on earth. Period.

Day 12 of the @scarecrowvideo.bsky.social #SCVpsychochallenge Morose Code (gothic) —THE OTHERS (2001). Beautiful and absolutely terrifying. Nicole Kidman genuinely seemed like she was losing her mind, probably because she was still married to Tom Cruise! (That would have killed on Leno 24 years ago)

around two years ago i made the point that genAI technologies were a fascist project designed to undermine facts, truth and history and so here is some slop machine humiliating a hero of the american civil rights movement

Day 11 of the @scarecrowvideo.bsky.social #SCVpsychochallenge Dystopian Future—LAST MAN ON EARTH (1964). Like COVID, except with vampires, and Vincent Price as Dr. Fauci.

TIME FOR A FEW SMALL BEERS

My son just texted this to me. He turns 24 in a week. Back in 2001, the doctors and nurses were watching the M’s playoff game while his poor mother was giving birth to him. Go Mariners!
