Day 5: The Thing (1982) -- Have I mentioned yet that I love practical monster effects? Well, they don't get much better than this. Part of me wishes this could have become a longer-running franchise, because there's so much potential for creative creature designs baked into in the premise.

Every October I mean to do this, and every October, I forget until we're like a week or two into the month. But not this year! Each day of this month I'm going to post a horror movie I love. I love horror movies in general, and I should make more posts online to help profess that love.

Amazing Spider-Man #1000 overall had some enjoyable stories with generally solid artwork, but the main story having a 1-2 punch of A) turning a potentially realistic tragedy into a cheap villain plot and B) ending it on a cliffhanger speaks volumes about the franchise in 2026.

"Is this your text message proclaiming 'I hope everyone has a SUPER day' mr wayne?" "i believe so?" "and doesn't that prove you are in fact superman?" "i wrote that text on the day we opened the gotham boys and girls club, here in gotham. on the same day footage shows superman was on the moon?"

Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy. Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media. That’s why Trump is attacking education, science, museums, the media, and the arts – to prevent us from learning. It's Fascism 101.

“…and, class, we can now definitively pinpoint this statement by Trump-where he needlessly prolongs the war against Iran-as the precise moment when every midterm race in the country shifted in favor of the Democrats, which in turn ultimately doomed his presidency”

Trump: "I'm rejecting their deal. They want to make a deal where they open the strait immediately ... we're winning tremendously. We have total control of the Hormuz Strait ... that deal would not be acceptable. They want to immediately open the Hormuz Strait."

I understand why people do this. They are fighting what they think is “the nearest battle” because they think it’s a battle they can “win.” But there is no win when all you’re doing is harming another person who has the same struggles as you do. Save that energy for billionaires and fascists. 

We have the right to make hard edge demands from government, who we elect and pay with our money. But demanding absolute perfection from other marginalized people OR ELSE you will be traduced and stigmatized in frankly absurd ways by people who don’t even participate meaningfully to begin with? No
