This new genre of AI ruining the mood at graduation ceremonies is both sad for the young people whose moments are tainted, but also reassuring that this technology is doomed in the long run.

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

Saddle up, partner. I made it into the TOC for Wicked Westerns, the upcoming horror anthology from @newenglandhorror.bsky.social. Yeehaw! 🤠

It has been a week since I was hanging out with all these talented writers for @salemhorrorfest.bsky.social. I have to pinch myself sometimes that I get this opportunity to highlight the people that dream up the books and films that give us nightmares. Can't wait for SHF 10!

This horse has a one-of-a-kind sense of humor. Watch as it teases the cat and then puts on an innocent face when caught in the act.

Star Wars isn't about the Jedi or the Skywalkers or hope or mythology or any of that. Star Wars is about seeing a weird little space guy in the background of a scene when you're a kid and then obsessing over that weird little space guy for the rest of your life.

Had a blast at the Salem Horror Festival today. Got to do a reading, talk on a couple panels, sign some books, and hang with good friends.

We should be legally allowed to skip work the day that Tales from the Crypt drops on Shudder

Dad of two grade-schoolers here: can confirm that the kids are using “AI” as a synonym for “fake”

we all know I have no life, so:

Happy ‘Sinners’ Day! One year ago, Ryan Coogler’s ‘Sinners,’ released in theaters.

Cat is out of the bag! I'm back helping @salemhorrorfest.bsky.social for another year with their literary events. May 2nd, I'll be hosting author readings and a panel on screenwriting, both featuring the amazing @claymcleod.bsky.social. Details on the entire fest can be found here! 🐈‍⬛ salemhorror.com

"Now, on Fox Kids, it's Eek! The Cat. And after that, a former child star grapples with a physical condition that keeps her from ever growing up and forces her into a state of psychosis that shatters her ability to process reality. And then, Bobby's World!"

Trans rights, ending ICE, and freeing Palestine all got huge cheers at my local No Kings protest. These are mainstream positions for the Democratic electorate. The party needs to fucking catch up.

Forget all the “Protests don’t matter” and “No Kings is just silly” nonsense. Protests matter. Societal resistance has been hardening. It’s a massive problem for the MAGA regime. And “No Kings” is crucial as part of an effort to dispel the idea that “real America” stands behind Trump.

My favorite photo of the Creature

Seconded! Bookshop-dot-org is a consortium of indie bookstores. The service is fast and reliable. No, you won't find the ridiculous price cuts below cost, because it isn't trying to drive all competition out of biz like Amazon. Boycott Bezos. Boycott Amazon. Boycott tech oligarchs.

The 6 minute fight scene from "They Live" (my favorite John Carpenter movie) set to "You're the Best" from Karate Kid! I was hoping this would make @shadowtodd.bsky.social 's day. Until.... LOL

Laundry day.

I love that Sam Raimi understood that most Spider-Man villains could very easily be monster movie characters, so he gave us at least one neat horror sequence per film.

As sad as it is that #TheLastDriveIn has wrapped, at least we got last night's finale and the upcoming specials. MonsterVision just straight up vanished from TNT's schedule without any notice, and Joe Bob is being shown a lot more respect from #Shudder than he ever did from basic cable.

Looking to promote your business or group to a bunch of horror fans this spring? You still have time to be a sponsor of Salem Horror Fest 9! 😱

Things be a brewing for the upcoming @salemhorrorfest.bsky.social. 📹

This is a very very very obvious point to make but shops and movie rental places and record stores are all more fun than buying things online

Let the pre-ordering commence. 🦇

How has this been on YouTube for seven years, and this is the first time I'm hearing this?!?

When I discover a new artist and I gotta make sure they human

I’m enjoying the recent video trend of “middle aged MAGA tough guy tries to assault high school kids out protesting ICE and quickly gets his ass kicked, then drives away humiliated.” Good clean fun.

Flowers? ✔️ Cookies? ✔️ Evil Dead card? ✔️ My Valentine's Day has been pretty awesome so far. Much thanks and love, Erin! ❤️

Man I'm so goddamn sick of ai. "Wahhh you can't have a reasonable conversation about ai on here," yeah maybe be mad about the two year parade of scam artists and financial charlatans and environmental ruiners who have radicalized everyone against the spell check that agrees with you

Most of the films I debated about listing here at least got wide theatrical releases, but my one flex would be seeing Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon when it got that limited run in theaters from Anchor Bay.

Everybody knows that Pupper just won Downhill Gold

Schumer: ball’s in your court Republicans: stab the ball, tear it apart, set it on fire, rip up the court and sell the turf to Bahrain Schumer: hey you guys are out of balls Republicans: we’re gonna kill your families Schumer: ok we’ll pass funding for new balls but you’ve GOT to read the rules

Seeing all these AI ads reminds me of the commercials about 25 years ago when every other one was for a dot com that went belly up within a year.

To counter AI slop writers, we need louder celebrations of the oddball writers of two weird books that each took 20 years to write, the hermits refusing to publish except via mimeographed zines, the typewriter poets, playwrights for dollhouses, short story writers who sew words into vegan vellum...

There's exactly one normal man left on planet Earth.

Good morning, friends! It's Thursday, which means it's also almost Friday.

Sal Buscema's run on The Spectacular Spider-Man in the late '80s and early '90s was one of my favorite comic books growing up. His ability to draw action and effective emotional reactions from his characters was always top notch. The man left a major impact in his field, and he will be missed. #RIP

Wrote about the observers. The people standing by and filming and the risk they are taking to let the world see what is happening. It's crucial and its the only way to combat the lies and blatant propaganda. www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

It’s almost as if being willing to die for the greater good and fight for the rights of our neighbors as much as our own is our whole national fucking identity.

On the weakness of state terror: once ppl internalize the regime's lawless brutality, that they are no safer in their homes than in the streets (& vice versa), and that their unwavering defiance is what confounds & disempowers the regime, they also realize they have nothing to lose but their fear.

If the admin's strategic goal was to break public resistance to immigration enforcement activities, it was a tactical mistake to go to the Twin Cities.

This takes enormous amounts of resources and sacrifice to pull off. Sharing this to support people on the ground: "This directory of places to donate to all comes from activists on the ground, plugged into the situation. Everything is vetted, with the exception of individual GoFundMes"

sounds good! 👍
