If the Python core team started a weekly/monthly newsletter, what would y'all want out of it? What would make you excited to see the notification in your inbox? @emmatyping.dev and I were brainstorming a bit on this the other day, inspired a bit by @thisweekinrust.bsky.social.

📺 I'm a little late on watching it this year, and it's not part of my usual winter / Christmas double feature with friends, but this grey, snowy day is a good day to watch Krampus (2015).

Thank you to everyone who proposed a session to PyCon US this year, to those who helped spread the word and promote the CFP, and to the folks who are hard at work reviewing everything. I am *stoked* to be a part of the conference, just five short months away.

If you have not seen "Scare Me", it is very much worth a watch. There's plenty to talk about regarding the overall plot and the individual segments, but the main thing that has stuck with me is the feeling it captures throughout the bulk of the film.

"When Good Ghouls Go Bad" is not available for streaming anywhere that I know of, and I've only seen it because I stumbled upon a DVD a bunch of years ago, and who wouldn't want to see Christopher Lloyd in a kids' horror movie? It's better than it should be and darker than one would expect.

📺 Found Footage: The Making of the Patterson Project Highly recommended. I've seen this kind of horror and this kind of comedy before, but I don't think I've seen them combined, and I am here for it.
