It's my birthday and I want another round of "Trump is secretly dead" discourse, come on bsky you're my only hope

More October horror recs! I have a pretty firm list of my 15 favorite horror movies & I've decided that I get to add another movie each year from here on out. But let's start with the OGs:

"You commit to something, and you just become the incubator for the work." My conversation with Yuts / @geographyofrobots.bsky.social (maker of the great game NORCO) is up on @graywolfpress.bsky.social's Games Lab today: graywolflab.org/2025/10/03/e...

This is a horrific story of an American basketball player facing possible lifetime imprisonment or even death over possession of a few cannabis gummies. www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/o...

Logging on

A Tucson man -- carpenter by trade and expert sailor -- was captaining one of the boats in the flotilla to Gaza. After Israeli seamen stopped and boarded the boats, his whereabouts are unknown. tucson.com/news/local/s...

Really heartening to see bsky come together to shit on the "AI actresses are virgins" guy 🥰🥰🥰

A fun thought experiment: what if we convinced evangelicals that AI is witchcraft?

If I smash this car with a hammer who gets mad? THERE. There's the person responsible. Don't let them muddy the water.

It's October! I'm a triple Libra who loves horror! It's my time & I'm gonna make recommendations all month long because why not? Gonna start with two criminally neglected horror series on Netflix: Brand New Cherry Flavor (this is the best thing Netflix has ever done fyi) and Cracow Monsters

to avoid confusion I have made a little table of Mitford siblings

Memorizing this

I cannot encounter a reference to South Carolina without hearing Lisa Simpson shout "I will NOT be a gamecock!" in my head.

I'll take the bullheaded, deeply flawed, 1990s quest for authenticity and cultivating a core which you shouldn't sell out over this any day. Any day.

I know that Trump lives in a padded room & is only allowed to watch AI videos of Humvees burning in Portland BUT I wish there was a way to get some "only a weak baby president would allow the gov't to be shut down" content in there. Not in a strategic way, just to be mean.

Pretty soon the only way to stop the onslaught of Bad Things will be to take out the internet itself and I think tech bros should fear that more.

Thinking about how because I've read literally thousands of novels I sorta take it for granted that people experience emotional growth over time. It really is hard to meaningfully comprehend a government packed with people who haven't evolved past the ages of 6 to maybe 13ish.

AI fans always seem puzzled why some people have a revulsion to AI and one issue is the people in charge of AI are repulsive

So excited! PLUS March Sadness '90s Edition begins March 1 - follow along here on bsky!

FUCKING PHOENIX RESIDENTS COMING TO TUCSON AND STEALING OUR GUINEA PIGS

Only man is vile

We should give all animals access to high-strength building materials. See where they go with it

11yo: this book is older than you since you were born in the 80s me: me: I was born in the 70s 11yo: WHAT? No way

Grijalva: I was looking at the example of now-Representative Walkinshaw from Virginia, who was elected two weeks ago Tuesday. The following Wednesday—less than 24 hours later—he was sworn in, with unofficial results. So for me, apparently the rules have now changed in just two weeks.

I hate credulous headlines like this. It’s like saying Hitler is sending troops into Poland to address “border provocations.”

The night bloomer, in three parts:

For whatever reason I'm seeing more Arizona slander than usual on the timeline & I just want you all to know that it only makes us desert rats stronger.

Got my October reads all planned out, because I am a big dork.

One of my coping mechanisms is telling myself that the world has always been stupid, we were just shielded from most of it pre-internet but I DON'T KNOW ANYMORE

One of the segments in the upcoming V/H/S Halloween was directed by the guy who did Too Many Cooks, I can't wait

guess it's too late to save Charlie Kirk by dunking him in a vat of period blood, what a shame

Hi, everyone who menstruates should make big pharma pay cash money for every single drop 🩸

lol

YOU GUYS SOMETHING GOOD MIGHT BE HAPPENING

Tech bros are increasingly like "look at God" but I just googled "Booker nominees 2025" & AI somehow adjusted it to "book nominees 2025" and offered me the National Book Award nominees from 2024.

Someone tell me not to buy these, I am so weak

whoa. Every single one of the Sinclair advert buyers on this list is automotive or automotive related (insurance). That is one aspect of the power in our society held by car companies that I haven't seen studied enough.

I've been assured that misstating circumstances around a public act of violence is an offense that must have you removed from all airwaves immediately

have reached a doomscrolling state of zen. "Oh shit oh fuck" I repeat serenely as the atrocities scroll by

WATCH THIS: The most amazing thing about this remarkable 2002 car commercial is that it didn’t seem to realize at the time, or perhaps didn’t care, how effectively it made the point that cars and car infrastructure are a HUGE waste of space in cities. Award-winning 2002 ad for Saturn car company.

The Rapture, but it's just a ploy to lock Trump in a dementia ward somewhere

Loved my college days out in Fire Department Valve.

Trump: don’t take acepitoemponoene RFK Jr: *moth crawls out of mouth* A nude man is in the background, only referred to as “the colonel” Person watching on tv: well if they say so
