Gosh there are so many writers that constantly make me think "fuck - what a privilege to read this" @blondekwaidan.bsky.social @blsaycewrites.bsky.social @bjcolangelo.bsky.social @momoshaty.bsky.social @theneonbanshee.bsky.social @sharai.bsky.social @psycstar.bsky.social So many more too

The fact it says "taking place after the events of the game" is concerning me given that there are multiple different endings for the game. Honestly just set a tv show in Faerun and tell an individual story instead of latching it onto an existing IP

The world may be on fire but at least we have a new @bloodybroads.bsky.social episode out discussing the phenomenal 28YL: The Bone Temple.

I have been doing a lot of thinking about what the next themed season of my podcast should be and recently I have started DMing two D&D campaigns, same world but different time periods and I am now leaning towards a season about D&D/TTRPG Maybe something like "What D&D/TTRPG means to me?"

may the hands that write the headlines supporting the innocence of the state ache forever from the weight of upholding ill gotten power

Tories! Trains! The traitor David Cameron! THE BONE TEMPLE has as much to say about Britain, the good, bad and ugly of it all, as 28 YEARS LATER did. I break it down for @fangoria.bsky.social 🦴 www.fangoria.com/28-years-lat...

Life got very busy but happy to say my review of @crobertcargill.bsky.social @sderrickson.bsky.social Black Phone 2 is now up on my website. This film took me my surprise and I am keen for a re-watch. www.fishnetsandphilosophy.com/reviews/fait...

Now this is the ideal state of existence - fat and carefree

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

Getting into DMing D&D games and I find it is genuinely so off putting that there: A] there is no price difference between digital and physical source books B] the 2014 source books are the same full price as 2024 source books

I just finished watching season 2 of Foundation on AppleTV and this show is absolutely fantastic. Very excited to start season 3

Remember that we can always find power, solidarity, and hope in the labor movement. Don't cross the picket line! #NoContractNoCoffee

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, we remember the bright and courageous trans people whose lives were stolen by hatred. Their absence is felt across our city. We will honor them by building a New York where every trans person can live safely, fully and freely.

Ireland are through to the World Cup play-offs in March 😭🇮🇪

Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year. UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year. Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

It’s been a year to the day we bought (and then didn’t, for reasons we still don’t fully know) InfoWars. We’re still trying. In the year since, we built The Onion into one of the biggest newspapers in the United States. I’m so proud of this place. I’m proud we do hard stuff. Thank you for caring.

Not to be all Fontaines about it, but as a colonised people, those of us who slag off aspects of our own culture like the Irish language or wearing zogabongs - you'd want to have a word with yourselves

I’m just a gay man, standing in front of a gay world, saying it’s okay if you’re not all that bothered about Wicked.

I'm told one of youse made that rapist cry is that right

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Night of sold out World Cup qualifer in Aviva stadium and Irish Rail using minimum carriage DARTs.......I hate the lack of reliable and functional public transport in this country

Hello it's me the leader of the party full of landlords that has been in power your whole adult life and created the housing crisis we now refuse to resolve. I'm here to tell you it's actually the foreigners' fault.

My perhaps controversial assessment is that when you share the propaganda of your enemies to call it out or to mock it… you’re still spreading their propaganda and maybe doing exactly what they hope you’ll do.

Food insecurity is ALWAYS a political choice. Famine is ALWAYS manmade. People go hungry because of other people’s decisions. We have more than enough food for everyone, and enormous amounts of it are wasted—literally thrown in the garbage—on purpose.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but if you have friends struggling through the shutdown, consider inviting them over for a family dinner this week. Make too much. Insist they take leftovers home. Some folks can't say they need help out loud but will appreciate the kindness.

One thing to keep in mind... One of the fastest pipelines to a financially successful grift for the right is left baiting. A no name asshat succeeds in getting lefties screaming about their content, and they start getting better offers and placement in the right's ecosystem. Don't fall for it.

Just out of my second viewing of @crobertcargill.bsky.social and Scott Derrickson's The Black Phone 2 and excited to get my racing thoughts into a coherent review

Why in 2025 does Ireland/Dublin still not have functional 24 hour train system to get you from the airport to your onward destination? I hate coming back here after being away somewhere where public transport is actually reliable and functional

In honour of the late, great Drew Struzan, I wanna post my favourite from his legendary career… would love to see your favourites too. Rest in peace, Drew ❤️

The episode on Bit (2019) by @thisendsatprom.bsky.social @bjcolangelo.bsky.social @harmonycolangelo.bsky.social fucking ROCKS. Everyone- I implore to you to first watch this transgressive film and then listen to this amazing podcast episode.

We've had Hereditary, Get Out, Sinners and Weapons so it frustrates me that horror films are still seen as "less than" & must be seen as "more than just". Having seen Frankenstein (which I really enjoyed) it's a fucking horror film and there's nothing wrong with that www.pajiba.com/news/dont-ca...

Low/no budget filmmakers have been finding ways to make what they want for decades prior to using AI so please spare me. LAZY! TASTELESS! CULTURAL VOID!

Worry about who you are, and who you want to be, not what you think you're "supposed" to be. Indulge hobbies, and don't stop being curious. Whether it's writing, gardening, woodworking, whatever. You do not know what lessons those will teach you that may be far more important than you realize.

Had my first Daggerheart session today and I am already in love with how collaborative and creative this game is. Massive kudos to @criticalrole.bsky.social @darringtonpress.bsky.social

One of the things that has always been true, but doesn’t get addressed until you start to get pretty nerdy in talking about horror, is that it’s actually many different audiences, pushed together under the umbrella of horror. That variation, is good for the genre and audiences.

stop posting AI slop, even to trash it. please.

ahhh! i absolutely LOVED doing this! thank he first time i’ve gotten to discuss film in a podcast in a real way, despite being one of my favorite topics (i wish i had more opportunities to engage w ppl talking about film & tv!) PLEASE LISTEN!!! and tell us what you think!

My review of HIM is now live www.fishnetsandphilosophy.com/reviews/how-...

Finally releasing the closing episode of Season 2 of my podcast. Sex on Screen- where genre cinema and porn collide. On this episode I discuss David Cronenberg's Crash with @sinnsage.bskyverified.social www.podbean.com/ea/dir-59s99...

If you can help, please do. Pretty monstrous stuff here. Arrested at her scheduled green card meeting after having gotten married. We are in Hell. www.gofundme.com/f/help-barba...

Had the privilege of catching HIM advanced screening courtesy of Universal Pictures Ireland at @lighthousecinema.bsky.social last night. Full review will drop on my site when the film hits theatres on October 3rd

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

Worked up a poster for Sinners - that cross section of horror movies, period pieces, and roots music checks an awful lot of my boxes, and heavens but it was beautifully made.

I cannot wait to live in Toronto so I can actually attend late night movie screenings and not worry about how I'll get home. The Long Walk only has 9pm screenings in my cinema in Dublin and that means I'd miss my last train home to Greystones- so that means no cinema trip for me.

The only reason I'm not a nsfw artist is because I'm a coward and I don't publish my stuff, but I wanna say LET P0RN ARTISTS BE FREAKS IN PEACE! Wanting art to be "sanitized" is, and always will be, fascism. Today they come for them, tomorrow they come FOR YOU.

I will never forget how the fully fictional “concerns” of TERFs and billionaires about trans people have contributed to the rapid rise of fascism. There they are, egging it on, not listening to science, history, medicine, and individual experience, fiddling their own prejudices while society burns.

Another typical morning in town after Culture Night, sean-nós singers left strewn around the footpaths, poets carelessly stuffed under park benches, a lone interpretive dancer being gently blown around the square

I feel bad for the generation of people handing over their ability to act creatively to AI… i don’t think they realize that creativity is a muscle, and when you don’t use it-
