“The Child of Dark Mania” (1996) by W. H. Pugmire - Pugmire was pure punk, bigger than life, adoring of Poe and Lovecraft yet always finding his own voice. This was one of his homages to other Mythos writers, and it's fascinating. deepcuts.blog/2021/06/12/t...

“The Shadow over Darkcliff” (1993) by John Blackburn - you don't hear about Blackburn anymore, which is a pity. Dude was a one-off, self-publishing queer comics until he got a bigger publisher. Would have loved to see the current webcomic ecosystem. deepcuts.blog/2025/09/06/s...

It's Pride Month, so I'm making coffee in my kitchen and dancing to Sia's "Unstoppable." Dancing is a little awkward, given that I sprained my foot exercising this weekend. Hey, you get off your way, I'll get off mine. 😜 💙🩷💜 🖤💙🤍❤️ open.spotify.com/track/2J2Z1S...

It's live! Episode 11 of the DELAPORE MEDIA PODCAST explores more of Amanda Montell's CULTISH, looking for ways to introduce cosmic horror into the cults of the 21st century: MLMs, Extreme Health Fads, and Viral Influencer Followings. sites.libsyn.com/595275/cthul...

Happy Pride! Remember why we have it.

Was in the middle of a workout today when this old ditty floated through my head. As a rule, I hate censorship, but there are times when it can be played very effectively for a laugh. youtu.be/6AXPnH0C9UA?...

Good aim! I'm talking about the photographer, of course. The composition is excellent.

Digging into True Detective for podcast research and, looking at the state of the discourse, I think we could do with a lot more of Heather Miller's analysis of haunted landscapes and lot less of the Magic Xylophone Guy. youtu.be/pYrRqMHQY7o?...

"There was maybe once a time where respectability politics reigned and decorum with these centrist fence-sitting cowards was required, but I think the dawn of modern techno-fascism has effectively killed any such need for decorum.

Oh look, a PSA from the mascot of compromised ethics and losing.

I'm a US citizen living in Canada, and *I* won't touch the place with a barge pole. I can count on one hand the number of things that would get me to step across the border and none of them are conventions. One the plus side, the Canadian gaming convention scene is picking up the slack.

EP11 of the DELAPORE MEDIA PODCAST is in the can! Release date is June 1st! I’m checking out the back half of CULTISH: THE LANGUAGE OF FANATICISM; looking for ways the horrors of the Cthulhu Mythos can exploit new kinds of cult spirituality: MLMs, Health and Wellness Fads, and Online New Age Gurus.

Yes, this is WEAPONIZATION. And neoliberal lawyers on book tours pointing this out for engagement and calling it a day is BRINGING A KNIFE TO A GUN FIGHT.

Mike just got his hotdog suit back from the dry cleaner.

Pffff--hahahahahahahahahahahaha!

I was listening to Behind the Bastards this morning and I heard a commercial from DiscoverHalifax(dot)ca that basically told me over contemplative guitar music: We know life sucks for everyone right now, but don't kill yourself. Have you seen Halifax? It's pretty cool.

Alex Sun from @rpg-reanimators.bsky.social joins the Good Friends to explore liminal spaces. Surely the way out must be around here somewhere. Maybe that friendly squiggle can offer directions if it ever stops screeching. blasphemoustomes.com/2026/05/19/l...

Check out Sherlock Holmes and his riveting insights! Makes me cringe; like watching someone discover their spouse has been cheating on them for years and it's been obvious the whole time. 😬 And the tragedy is he's still going to be "shocked and appalled" every time the situation gets uglier.

This one is for the Trans women in my life. Between you and me, Mike doesn't take well to being psychoanalyzed.

Spoken like a real "pick me" there, Mike. When it comes to queer issues and LGBTQ history, mister "I was a hardcore DOJ prosecutor" likes to broadcast to his cishet friends that he knows his place.

I'm so sick of these neoliberal ghouls lamenting the monster they created.

Hey, @repbradsherman.bsky.social! Guess who's not voting for you this year? My mom! My own mother has called you you, "a worthless backbencher who hides behind his desk in D.C." Granted, what you are is a remorseless, child-bombing ghoul, but progress is progress! Great job, mom!

It's a big club and you ain't in it.

The CDC? They're helping RFK Jr. oil and sharpen his chainsaw so he can carve up and grill one of the victims for Mother's Day supper. You gotta let that hantavirus marinate, otherwise there's no flavor in the center of the cut.

IBC124 Award-winning film maker Mike Lyddon joins us in the Gilman Hotel. We talk HG Wells, Night Gallery, ghouls and Mike's remarkable documentary Lovecraft In Florida Part One - including the Barlow house, the Ancient City and walking in HPL's footsteps. www.buzzsprout.com/1982490/epis...

🎵 This is the war that never ends! It goes on-and-on, my friends! Some asshole started bombing, not knowing what it was. And, we continue shooting forever just because... 🎵

When asked to give a reason for his dangerous and erratic behavior, the driver put on a pair of wraparound shades and replied, "Family, b'y."

I have never paid much attention to the Met Gala, but this year it's giving me a real "fiddling while Rome burns" feeling.

Happy April 29th to, "everybody in the 'hood," who has, "had it up to here."

A new addition to the Delapore Media Library arrived today. My first impression is it is well-researched and encyclopedic in its scope.

Happy gas station redecorating day to all who celebrate.

My only real takeaway from the WHCD is trump looked like 280 lbs of pallid excrement packed into a bag with a clear 225 lbs. limit. Wretched-old-guy-in-a-tuxedo is just a bad look.

I just finished recording a portion of Zadok's monologue from "The Shadow Over Innsmouth" for the next podcast episode. I'm deeply worried I'm going to end up sounding the pirate captain who sings the SpongeBob intro. 🎵"Oh! Who lives in a city beneath Devil's Reef!?"🎵 🎵"Fa-ther Day-gon!"🎵
