"They just want to turn it off." A fascinating story of the librarians who have started teaching classes showing people how to remove AI "features" from their phones and apps. www.bangordailynews.com/2026/07/02/m...

Saddle up! Me and 20 other writers are featured in Wicked Westerns, the new anthology from New England Horror Writers. The KickStarter for the book is now live, partner. 🤠

A lot of discourse today about the failure of superhero movies, but it needs to be stressed that Star Wars and Masters of the Universe underperformed the same way. We need to stop making movies for 50yr old white men and make them for Gen Z. They're going. Obsession is in its 7th week in the top 5.

Sam Raimi didn't strap a Super 8 camera to a 2x4 so you could tell me that AI is "inevitable."

Data centers are harming every environment they are placed in.

James Burrows was not a giant in sitcom directing. He was THE giant. The primary director of Cheers and Taxi. The only director (I believe) of Will & Grace. The director whose pilots for Friends, Third Rock, Frasier, and Big Bang Theory got them on the air. The king. RIP. people.com/james-burrow...

NEW: A group of activists have built an awesome new tool to help immigration attorneys and the general public know when an ICE flight is headed to their area. gillianbrockell.com/habeas-fligh...

we’re sooooooo close to the bubble popping in ai i can literally taste it

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
