Do you want to scream at the stupid AI newsletter lady in existential despair at the state of literature or do you want to have your faith in the arts restored by one of the most moving and poignant horror stories I've read in quite a while?

NEW STORY DAY “Not Like Other Girls” is now out in ebook and @reactorsff.bsky.social A creature wearing a woman’s body becomes a lonely man’s girlfriend, but the woman suit and his interest start to rot. Art: A.W. Sommers Design: Jess Kiley Editor: Ann VanderMeer reactormag.com/not-like-oth...

Nobody is posting the actual title of this movie(?) so I'm forced to extrapolate from context clues. Is this YA slop? Purge-style "makes you think" scifi? Leftist political horror designed to expose the link between fascism and purity culture? A romcom? Don't tell me I want to get there on my own.

i'm locked in on this film sorry to anyone else

what even are ads anymore

I've genuinely, no joke been waiting for years for one of these assholes to vandalize the moon. Such a common cartoon bad guy trope, it's too stupid to not happen.

This is going to be a slow burn story that gets people more and more angry the more they hear about it. Some asshole billionaires are blowing holes in the Moon, a thing everyone loves.

It's almost bandcamp friday, if you want to get as much Alpha Chrome Yayo as is legally allowed that would be a perfect day to do so

Once again considering deleting this account but I can't because I am furiously in love with exactly four of my mutuals. The rest of you I merely desire carnally.

Sorry for pumping my leather goods so much its just that im a greedy capitalist pigdog. Im just kidding i just like making wallets for people. Buy one or go to hell. Im just kidding again.

I really do miss my second home but at the same time I'm so relieved to be back in a country where there's no fucking screens in public places.

It's common knowledge in the restaurant biz that you want one screen showing footage of food, and the other broadcasting the Duxbury mother's murder trial

i can be pretty hit or miss on the old masters of sci-fi but still ain't nobody doing it like bradbury

Today, August 4, 2026, is the setting of Ray Bradbury’s short story “There Will Come Soft Rains” about a fully automated house continuing on after the family who lived there and the world around it died in a nuclear blast.

frankly the most annoying part of my day every day is encountering someone who is on here “for liberal politics” so I am actually in favor of expanding our reach. we gotta bring over like, those guys who get horny for old elevators

I got my Kickstarter copy of this last month and it is GORGEOUS, well worth snagging if you haven't yet!

The only people funding Antarctic expeditions anymore are private investors from old money who belong to weird social societies. These rich guys are just obsessed with recreating some expedition from the 30's that only found a couple fossils. I don't get it.

Are there any Cthulhu stories that reflect how much budget cuts have affected collegial investigators our there? Seems like a rich vein

Took me a minute to figure out this isn't about the ADHD thing, it's about huffing robot farts.

So now we are gatekeeping how one obtains dopamine? The big takeaway from posts like yours and the rest comes down to: Questioning his claim because it is not your experience, so therefore something is amiss.

Reread an old horror draft and I made myself scared and depressed. Good job me, you piece of shit.

Nothing would make me happier than finding out the Silent Hill Wiki Circumcision Fracas has been going for an uninterrupted decade, I need it so bad.

You'll understand when you're 35

Pet people, do you think there's any ethical way to keep a companion animal in a tiny studio apartment? I do love reptiles but I can't take on their care, but are there any pets that don't need a huge habitat and are happy to just hang out with a fellow mammal? Without doing night screams?

You know, I wasn't going to say anything because I should have seen it coming, but I genuinely expected the people in my life to be happy for me when I got a diagnosis and medication, but apparently we're all out there desperate for an opportunity to use the word "trendy."

Only just found out about this For the record, you don't get multiple genetic markers and one of the most effective medications known to science with 'social constructs' Channel 4, this is, in scientific parlance, an absolute fu*king disgrace that will genuinely endanger lives #c4 #ADHD

Not only do I agree to that as I clearly stated Jack, if you invite me to a house party and I show up with my getting-laid underpants and a bag of coke and some freak pulls out Monopoly with sheep trade mechanics I get a two hour head start on the homicide detectives.

One of the Tubi filmmakers will upload an unhinged youtube vlog like once every couple of months. In today's video he said that he has finished a new movie but does not have internet and can't figure out how to upload it to the internet. This might be the first time anyone has ever had this problem.

My mother and I spent about thirty second struggling to get a couch off a truck before a swarm of teenage boys descended and when the dust cleared the whole couch was up three flight of stairs.
