Good writing on bad television (and beyond) @thelitcritguy.bsky.social @currentaffairs.bsky.social www.currentaffairs.org/news/the-ban...

Had a great chat with @scumbelievable.bsky.social for an upcoming @horrorvanguard.bsky.social episode. Easily the best convo HV has had on the body and horror in a hot minute.

Revisiting @horrorvanguard.bsky.social's episodes on the Terrifier series and once more stealing this @rosegardenofeyes.bsky.social quote: "Haters gonna hate, hate, hate. And they would be right to do so, listeners."

Wait, @theferocity.bsky.social mentioning CAPITALISM A HORROR STORY in relation to the new Devil Wears Prada movie and how capital hollows out the world to create shambling zombies of value has absolutely just made my whole week 👻👻👻👻

Comrade-homie @thelitcritguy.bsky.social wrote the definitive takedown of Jimmy Fallon and, folks, it's amazing. www.currentaffairs.org/news/the-ban...

This is such a satisfying read www.currentaffairs.org/news/the-ban...

My mate @thelitcritguy.bsky.social wrote this final word on the bleak horror of jimmy fallon

Read @sarahbrouillette.bsky.social 's review of @anniemcc.bsky.social 's Beneath the Wage ( Zone Books , @princetonupress.bsky.social ). Brouilette highlights the book's focus on the new terrains of antagonism and solidarity afforded by service labor. spectrejournal.com/service-with...

Hahahahahahahahahaha www.currentaffairs.org/news/the-ban...

If you have a laptop that by some dark occult magic still has space for some stickers, why not treat yourself and help finance the @horrorvanguard.bsky.social crypt at the same time HorrorVanguard.redbubble.com

"Here, in the sanitized, over-lit heart of the American culture industry, there is an inescapable horror. But it isn't a monster lurking in the shadows; it is the manic, unblinking insistence that actually, there are no shadows at all."--brilliant stuff here

Bloody LOVED this article by @thelitcritguy.bsky.social in @currentaffairs.bsky.social. Gothic allusions, incisive analysis of the banality of the worst aspects of our culture, wrapped in some delicious writing. Thanks @robfirth.bsky.social for the link www.currentaffairs.org/news/the-ban...

This is what inevitably follows from reading a dozen Warhammer 40,000 books.

Happy Birthday to the world's most dialectical pintman.

I read 27 books in 2 months and have thoughts You don't need to know or care about Warhammer, only to hate empire "the best way to understand Warhammer is as an affirmative exercise in this non-identity against the omni-presence of capitalist rationality" www.patreon.com/posts/warham...

Finally caught Project Hail Mary at the movies and I got to be honest I'm completely baffled at the gushingly positive coverage.

Unironically getting into Hegel through 40k and vice versa.

Welcome people who found me after reading me being mean to Fallon. The number one rule around here is: listen to @horrorvanguard.bsky.social 🔥

all i want to do is write books!! instead I am forced to learn what microsoft teams is!

"The Warp as a space cannot be perceived by ordinary Space Marines - to look upon it is to be sent into madness. Some people when writing about the lore consider the Warp as a separate dimension, but this is insufficiently Hegelian" www.patreon.com/posts/on-dia...

seeing jon 40k posting has been the biggest endorsement i can think of for the horus heresy. really pushing me towards finally reading the books.

Understanding Hegel via the Horus Heresy...can it even be done... Interesting and fun stuff from Jon Greenaway

I’m sure I would love this post, but I’m too busy painting the third tentacle-mouth to sprout from my armor today

My friend who has been into 40K for almost 40 years has said she enjoyed this writing. I enjoyed it too

Jon is the only one keeping me sane as we both walk this grimmest and darkest of paths. Please give this some love!

In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war…..and dialectics.

Nine down, like forty five to go.

“Fallon is the court jester of the Anthropocene, a figure who invites us to watch celebrities play parlor games on stage while the air outside the studio begins to smell of tear gas and smoke.” By @thelitcritguy.bsky.social (+ an illustration by me!) www.currentaffairs.org/news/the-ban...

A lesson from the last few days, people love gothic metaphors as models of cultural analysis if it also means being unnecessarily mean about an awful guy and frankly I think I can work with that as a model to follow.
