Happy 59th anniversary to the original Space Ghost cartoon, Space Ghost and Dino Boy, which premiered on CBS this day in 1966 youtu.be/h0uFg_BjjUs?...

Being a reader means constantly deciding between reading the books you already own or buying new ones you’ll also ignore

If I learned anything in graduate school it’s that most people use the term “pedantic” incorrectly.

I am dumber for having watched the new WAR OF THE WORLDS.

Eastern Parkway always feels like the heartbeat of New York during the West Indian Day Parade — the food, the flags, the dancehall and soca. Caribbean culture makes this city great 🇹🇹🇭🇹🇧🇧🇩🇲🇱🇨🇯🇲🇻🇨🇬🇩🇬🇾

Take a look at the news. No wonder horror is back in a big way.

remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature

According to federal data, 13 of the top 20 cities in homicide rates have Republican governors. None of those cities are Chicago. 8 of the top 10 states in homicide rates are led by Republicans. None of those states are Illinois. And yet Trump is sending troops here.

Fun fact: The "Taft bathtub myth" refers to the popular story that President William Howard Taft, due to his large size, got stuck in a White House bathtub. Funner Fact: Someday, people will refer to the popular story of Trump patrolling DC with the IQ of a bathtub.

Out there looking for the Epstein Files like OJ looked for his wife’s killer.

Dems need to make sure this is pushed forward as the Putin-Trump Doctrine.

I’ve been thinking about how we learn how to process fear. I believe that how children’s entertainment present difference (“the other”) relates directly to how we accept or reject these in our daily lives. For me, this is exemplified in a bedrock of Sesame Street, The Muppets, and a sea monster.

gAI art is bad because it's stealing labor. stealing labor from art is easy because no one sees art as labor, they see it as talent. they see it as talent because it's easier to believe they have a right to hate you because they can't stand they gave up and you didn't. fuck them, pay labor.

I'll admit, I was skeptical when they said Gemini was just like a bunch of PhDs. But I gotta admit they nailed it.

I'm beginning to realize that my love of horror as an adult is related to Sid and Marty Krofft. More to come.

Shocked and sad and amazed to see my first live spotted lanternfly in our own backyard (Chicago). Gorgeous animal—I wasn’t prepared for how beautiful it was. 🥲 Squashed and reported on @inaturalist.bsky.social

I am all for not owning lots of ‘things’ - but books are not things!!

I’m just a boy, looking at a girl, hoping for some corporate synergy strategies to increase market share.

Finally, a way for me to share the contents my pantry with our corporate overlords.

More about WEAPONS: It’s pulling from suburban horror in the ways John Waters (Serial Mom), Lynch (everything), and Carpenter (Halloween) did, but adding to the lexicon with unique use of sleep/dream sequences, community, and a Tarantino-esque slicing of time.

I’ve been to the movie theater (Have you heard of these places? Lots of seats all facing the same direction, which is weird, and one giant white wall!) and I have thoughts. First: WEAPONS is a great film. Second: based on the trailers, people are starting to make small, intense films with VOICE.

What gif pops up when you type your name? It’s today’s mood.

No, JD, belonging in America does not depend on how many generations of your family have lived here. The values of this country matter - deeply - to who we are and what it means to be American.

The military takeover of Washington is not a “distraction” from Epstein. It’s a military takeover of Washington, which is an even bigger deal, and those of us who kill brain cells reporting on this stuff knows it’s been an explicit goal since before the election.

Dear Readers: When you find an error in a piece of writing (a typo, a plot-hole, a character contradiction) that isn’t a “mistake,” it’s a portal into the author’s soul. Tread carefully.

Overwhelm is (get ready for all caps) A VERY REAL THING. So is the desire to DO THINGS TO FIGHT BACK. But no one will have the energy to fight back if they burn out. That’s why it’s okay to pause, breathe, and enjoy something silly or weird. Do that today. Here’s a frog. youtu.be/jS5fTzMP_mg?...

This week, I’m hosting The Daily Show Tuesday through Thursday. It’s my first time hosting anything on TV. Ever. I’ve spent years writing behind the scenes, learning from truly great and talented people. Now, for three nights, I get to sit at the desk and do it myself.

New Yorkers: don’t let an undemocratic mayor undo ranked voting as he’s on his way out! Today is the deadline! Leave a comment on the government website!

Going to decompress from current events exhaustion for a few hours at a museum. Nothing like reminding yourself about the long arms of history and culture to help lift you out of the panic of the now.

it’s crazy how clearly stated policies and positions that address the immediate problems that are faced by a plurality of voters will also attract a plurality of voters.

Looking for a fun, weird, lofi, indie horror or sci-fi film or show. Any suggestions?

@seanfarrell.bsky.social At last. Sean Ferrell can challenge Sean Farrell for dominance! Have at you!

Inspiration: feeling like I need a good, funny, 80s-90s style indie-sci-fi/horror vibe. The kind of thing that’s just dumb enough to be fun, and smart enough to keep you thinking. Buckaroo Bonzai comes to mind. Big Trouble in Little China. Any suggestions?
