No burkas, but ICE can run around in full head masks. Ok, got it.

BENNY JOHNSON: Would you be in favor of a burka ban here in America, or at least in Minnesota? TOM EMMER: There should be no burkas. There should be nothing like that allowed. It's pure stupidity to say 'this is what they believe.' Really? Over 80% of this population is on welfare programs.

Has anybody stopped to think about how it must feel when you believe that a beautiful Chinese executive thinks you’re a cool, handsome dude… and then it turns out that she was only with you for your manufacturing capabilities??? Huh? Anyone think about that?

Me and my wife took mushroom gummies and put on Godzilla vs the Sea Monster, and it turned into a deep philosophical conversation about the nature of God. Because, literally, Mothra’s people are enslaved. They’re praying for salvation, and they can literally see Mothra just… not help.

Not Another 80s Horror Novel. Airplane for 80s horror fiction, a loving parody dedicated to the cleavage, chaos, and carnage of the paperbacks from Hell era.

oh why not A GAME IN YELLOW: Three sapphics use The King in Yellow, a play that supposedly drives its readers to madness, as an aphrodisiac and sex toy. It goes about as well as you'd expect 💛 bookshop.org/p/books/a-ga...

2024 was his only chance. Inflation was up, a dem was president, and he was the king turd of the Florida bowl. Cowboy Ronnie had an opening to curb stomp Trump when he was down, and he didn’t have the stones to do it.

Trump: "I think it would destroy the Democrat Party if they did that -- impeachment for no reason. What, for having a successful country? Our country is more successful right now than at any time in history. Watch the beam go up."

I have benefited from AI at least once. My next book is an Italian restaurant horror novel and I started writing it because a friend put the same concept into a chatbot, and I was so offended by the bland, awful nonsense it put out that I decided to write a much better version.

I have benefited from AI at least once; some other writer used AI and their piece had to be rejected and as a result the pub needed a replacement and things got shuffled around with the upshot that I got another commission.

I’ve seen two trailers for new movies from Skydance. #1: Chris Pratt is ARMY, but he gets hurt and can’t ARMY anymore, so he must train his weenie nephew to be WARRIOR. This trailer, of course, is set to country music.

I’m not gonna lie, fellas. The sign for the animal hospital does give me some pause… but there can be no victory without risk.

Paragon. Wrex was my best friend. Miranda was my OTP. I failed to save the Quarians. I cured the Genophage. Fuck the council. Fuck the Reapers. Specter for Life. RIP #masseffect. RIP #bioware.

@philnobilejr.bsky.social and the rest of the fango crew, I just want you to know the digital back issue archive is an incredible delight.

American Werewolf in London for Tax Purposes.

Add “for Tax Purposes” to a movie: Dirty Dancing for Tax Purposes

All the Howling sequels are on Tubi and I want to send my family away for 12 hours so I can drink 25 beers and watch them all.

I’ve never played, but Warhammer will always have a soft space in my heart. My first writing experience came in the early 00s on a horror movie forum where a game of “think of creative ways to kill the person above you” spiraled into an epic collaborative novel of good and evil in a bloody war.

Haunted Hotel is back for season 2 on Netflix and I am once again recommending it to both horror fans and fans of animated shows that the Fox network would have canceled before their time. m.youtube.com/watch?v=uteO...

The Stand by Stephen King. Harold Emery Lauder would have been an incel icon. There’s the Dark Man’s coalition of not just the evil, but the weak and easily led. And of course, there’s Flagg himself- powerful, charismatic, but ultimately fundamentally flawed and rotting from the inside.

Is there a work of art that was created well before the current era that you feel explains Trump and MAGA and everything better than anything contemporary? For me it’s Assassins (1990) but I’m curious if other people have one.

I’m not gonna say it, but if this was a movie we’d all recognize the narrative foreshadowing here.

Horror pet peeves: four legged werewolves. That’s just a big wolf. I don’t care if it’s a man 90% of the time.

Happy October, Boils and Ghouls. For those of you looking to get into the spirit of the season, what could be better than witches and black cats? #horrorsky #horrorbooks #indiehorror

The problem with this country is that family movies don’t start with that little twinkly piano music anymore. You know the kind I’m talking about.

A guy from the power company came to teach us about electrical safety. He did this with “zapparoo.” A stuffed kangaroo that he electrocuted in front of us. This was the 90s.

Bizarre things that happened in your assembly: A neighbour of one of the teachers gave us a five-minute lecture about kwashiorkor which involved him reciting a list of his favourite words (yes, ‘kwashiorkor’ was one of them). Included the unforgettable phrase, “Diarrhoea, another beautiful word.”

@dandock.bsky.social , Instagram reels unearthed for me the beginnings of your 2019 recollection of Titantic 2 and… I need all of it, please and thank you.

It’s nice that Max has so much old Godzilla, but I wish they’d offer the old dubs. Partially for nostalgia and partially to make it more accessible for children.

I’m not going to opine on the #fangoria drama, but I will say it’s given me the excuse to follow a bunch of Fangoria writers that I wasn’t already following.

Trumps gonna give you 5 grand if he wins the midterms and I’ve got a peace deal in Iran for you to sign.

How would I have improved the cool, but flawed, Creed 3: 1.) Start with Creed out of shape. He’s retired, let him be a little flabby so it’s a big deal when he gets ripped later. 2.) Let Damian win the final fight. It wasn’t about Creed regaining the belt, it was about him working out his demons.
