I just bought a Nexus TPB.

Fuck, I hope so.

Just purchased. Since I first watched it so long ago, Naomi Watts has been "Hey, she was in Tank Girl!"

Those wonderful crate diggers from Habibi Funk.

They fight crime! Or... They are here to do crime!

@funranium.bsky.social Always be stealing Dune memes!

As Beauvoir said: "If the satisfaction of an old man drinking a glass of wine counts for nothing, then production and wealth are only hollow myths; they have meaning only if they are capable of being retrieved in individual and living joy. "

Merry Christmas!

Well, no, I hadn't seen them described that way, but now that I have, no other description will serve. Thank you for the holiday chill.

Nice!

Always reposting Druillet

Happy Solstice ❄️

"Le Fanu inextricably entwined invaders from within and without. Were the ghosts real? Were they hallucinations? None of this mattered. What was important was how the ghost was perceived, and how this perception destroyed the minds of witnesses." markfullerdillon.blogspot.com/2025/12/jim-...

That's pretty gosh darned neat. I really like Roth's writing, especially the journalism pieces he did while in Berlin, The Hotel Years, What I Saw. Definitely a place to go if/when I visit Berlin.

For the outdoors person in your life, there might be most excellent gift choices here. And maybe that outdoors person is you! Buy yourself something good and cool.

I'll try. Maybe.

Jesus shit, there are collections of Badger and Jon Sable?! Dude, you're better than Diamond Previews!

I saw this so now all of you have to see this as well. Santa. In a thong. So deliciously gonzo!

Przewalski’s horses! Sharing good news.

A really good backgrounder and completely depressing. Must read!

Movie posters by Druillet. Nothing better.

An absolutely amazing book. Incredibly well written, weird, atmospheric. Ennes is a writer in complete control of their craft. bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

What the actual heck! That's so amazingly cool!

Having read the books by both of the authors, I found this conversation to be fascinating.

And here's why that movie sounds especially fascinating. The music of Boy Harsher boyharsher.bandcamp.com/album/lesser...

Buy this book! It is essential! weirdpunkbooks.square.site/product/the-...

I open up a book for the first time and the acknowledgement page stares me right in the face. "For Thomas Ligotti". My immediate reaction: "Oh this is going to give me nightmares." bookshop.org/p/books/blac...

I remember watching this (shout out to Vidiots) and experiencing Urotsukidōji levels of WTF did I just watch.

Recently purchased: Via Mark Valentine's blog, I ran across this publisher and I've been wanting a good physical edition of Les Chants de Maldoror for some time. This edition looks great! www.infinitylandpress.com/the-songs-of...

Currently reading: Slow Gods by Claire North. So far, really good space opera, interesting voice, good control over how and when information is revealed. bookshop.org/p/books/slow...

Just bought this off of bandcamp. So very good. thebugvsghostdubs.bandcamp.com/album/implos...

I found that series absolutely fascinating. So strange.

5 days of the Sun: Leaving sunspot group 4274, emerging 4284 (center), filament eruptions, negatively polarised coronal holes in the W➡️, positively p. CHs in the E⬅️, new flaring region in the NE is rotating into view SDO AIA 211Å BD, 193Å BD, 171Å, 211Å, 335Å

Such great illustrations that completely capture the mood and tone of that most exquisite series.

Rain-bullied is a tremendous description.

To which I add this wonderful Bruce Sterling passage, which for many years I kept beside my keyboard.

In 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune.

I love the art of Philippe Druillet

Reminder that I need a Blu Ray of Red Sun Via Cinephilia and Beyond, Alain Delon (BOTD) with Charles Bronson and Toshiro Mifune

Neat article. Thanks, Jess.

Essential, Life During Wartime.
