Awe man, RIP to Mark Sawickis from Impetigo. A real OG of Horror Movie Nerd Metal. Every time you hear a horror movie sample at the beginning of a death metal or grindcore song, pour one out for Mark. youtu.be/k6TMVewkgAo?...

for the love of god will someone please subtitle this

Happy for this one to be out today! this piece is particularly important to the folks profiled here, an amazing prison LGBTQ+ affirming organization called Be the Change, and I'd love to be able to share any reactions with those folks <3 truthout.org/articles/thi...

thank god i love eternal darkness

absolutely disgusted that my tax dollars are funding conferences about DIY, i can’t believe we continue to expose children to this anti-american philosophy.

Art director Man Lim-chung found the clapperboard for Patrick Tam's Love Massacre: "The owner of this clapperboard just told me they've kept it for 40-odd years. The date on it is for the last shot of the film."

at least there’s a new large Daniel album out today and first impressions (from me) are very positive

3 am, going back for more persimmons

no gods no platforms

In my most important journalism to date, I spoke with Japan's only mainstream transgender filmmaker, Kasho Iizuka, about bringing Japan's hidden history to cinematic light. For @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/film/2026/fe...

I want to die

Good morning

Dope to see how well this is doing, fuck ice forever. FYI If you pick it up, you can check out my games Imp of the Perverse (wherein you hunt down people who have turned into monsters) and The Birth of the Resistance Ace (in which you take direct action against a regressive regime).

hell yeah cannot imagine a more qualified person to talk through inoculation than clarissa.

honestly a little let down that shiraishi cut the part about a ghost trying to reach people through porn site comments from his adaptation of “about a place in the kinki region”

got to the end of episode 8 in keizoku considering re-orienting my life to get people to watch keizoku

watching a tv series from 1986 (crime story) and the lead chicago cop guy was just like “I make $12,000 a year and I’m the highest paid guy out here.” it’s set in the 60’s. ads on the cta indicate you can start at 85k now. is cop the only job that kept up with inflation?

i think sometimes people look at the phrase “you have to be in community with people you find annoying” and think, “oh goody gee, i do not need to reflect on how i treat others, im free to be annoying.”

If you are able, The Post's union has started a layoff fund for those fired by the world's fourth-richest man today. gofund.me/a310d0286

watching a bookstore close a location after a huge exodus of staff, oh no huh i wonder if there’s any reason they couldn’t stay open.

YUMEJI TANIMA’S SCREAM THEATER has been uploaded to Youtube with English Subs! This is not a drill!!! Watch here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqak...

Hugo eligibility post! “The Cuddled Little Vice,” my book-length essay on the poison legacy of Sandman, is eligible for Best Related Work.

Finally, a useful website labyrinthlocator.org

It's also not unique to this moment for people who are brand new to believe they have it all figured out, or for onlookers to believe the same. That part of the equation rhymes with a whole lot of history, and people who stick around long enough learn that they don't know what they don't know.

Go Fund Me about the young person arrested on Monday in MN along with Lemon and Fort.

Sad to hear about the death of one of Japan's most influential filmmakers, Kazuhiko Hasegawa. Despite only directing 2 films, he also founded the Directors Company, which gave birth to some of the greatest directors and films in Japanese history!

some day i will stop cursing in polite company (the wobblies) but i am not sure when that day is. this was a very fun convo and i learned a lot from benno’s story (and always nice to connect the dots between bad music and better politics with kim).

it’s on sight for all of you (rpg people)

imagining being relieved to pick up the phone because it’s a famous franchise serial killer quizzing me about horror movies before executing me instead of a guy who works at the new yorker

going through twenty year old wrestling is obviously a minefield of horrible people, people who died too young, and other complicated emotions but it remains fucking absurd that you used to be able to see kobashi team with the notorious 187 homicide for under $60.

New commentary by @cellllla.bsky.social, @perhaxis.bsky.social and myself: "The tech worker movement and the rise of the tech oligarchy". www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

If you see this, don't participate. It's a rigged study by Lisa Littman and unethical researcher J. Michael Bailey meant to undermine access to care. Spread the word.

Georgia Fort's is chilling, and it's being overshadowed by the equally chilling arrest of Don Lemon. A GoFundMe is being set up for Fort. In the meantime, you can support her work directly – without paying massive fundraising platform fees – through her website: www.georgiafort.com/support

thinking that if I was going to be Manchurian candidate-ed, my activation phrase would be “this band is called blacklisted.”

When I was translating Kon Satoshi, in order to understand him better I spent time reading his personal blog. I'll never forget him writing "They say what Aronofsky is doing is an "homage." I know my English isn't great, but I don't understand the difference between "homage" and being "ripped off."

its hard to take anything the co-owners are saying seriously when this guy's bad behavior has been publicly talked about for two years. Suddenly its reprehensible when its in the news!

my colleague @sarahjeong.bsky.social did some service journalism www.theverge.com/policy/86857...

ice was in elgin today. on tuesday, ice kidnapped people from chicago’s hermosa neighborhood as well as the suburbs of bolingbrook (west) and waukegan (far north). last week, feds in six vehicles abducted an adult and three kids from near their home in woodlawn. they never left. they never stopped.

may all the misfortunes and suffering that the world experiences be visited upon the mormon church and its acolytes. how a cult manages to gain legitimacy through disgusting sodas is beyond me.

Big day for the mormon church

Weather forecast for Saturday is ~20°. If you’re coming out to ride and looking for a guide on how to dress, consider checking out the guide in my pinned post. I’d also recommend considering hand warmers, packing extra dry layers, and making sure you have a bus pass/way to bail if needed.

troya is an incredible organizer, and this is well worth yr time if you’re struggling with how to work and exist right now. it sucks but you gotta start building support networks where you can and a union can be a decent way to align work and your values.

it’s very funny to reflect on my time in the swamps and think about like— in a stupider world, craig pillard would be playing the Kennedy center.

Resisting the might-makes-right order, in solidarity with the peoples of Palestine, Venezuela, Cuba and Greenland. Boycott, divest from, or exclude from contracts these complicit US companies.

He was doing what many have been saying white men should be doing. He went outside to observe, he documented, he put his body on the line to protect another person and for this he was murdered by the gatekeepers of the fascist regime.
