The Serpent and the Rainbow (1988) | 31 Days of Gore Sometime in the early to mid 90s, there was a badly worn VHS copy of The Serpent and the Rainbow in a sun-faded box at my neighborhood video store. I clearly remember it was on the row closest to t…

Oh come on, nobody "killed" him, he lives on in our hearts.

Special education isn't a "nice thing to have." It isn't "charity" or doing something to make us feel better. It is a right. The right to a Free Appropriate Public Education is codified in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, signed by a Republican president.

PANEL 1: SHELDON, a ten year old with big glasses, walks on a sidewalk next to a brown fence, lined with green grass. Next to him walks ARTHUR, a yellow duck. ARTHUR: Ancient humans were TERRIFYING hunters. PANEL 2: Closer up on SHELDON and ARTHUR as he continues talking. ARTHUR: They’d get 10-20 of their pals and go chasing after big game. PANEL 3: ARTHUR continues talking alone on a panel that fades from blue to green. ARTHUR: And because humans could sweat, and animals couldn’t, they’d use PERSISTENCE HUNTING. PANEL 4: SHELDON stops walking, looking at ARTHUR, as he continues, horrified. ARTHUR: They’d chase it…it’d run away. So they’d chase it again, and it’s run away again. And the humans would do it againa nd again until the beast was exhausted. PANEL 5: Super close on ARTHUR, his eyes bulging while cringing, lit dramatically. ARTHUR: THE HUMANS WOULDN’T STOP COMING. THEY’D NEVER STOP COMING. PANEL 6: SHELDON stands, looking in to the void, while ARTHUR reacts similarly. SHELDON: Humans are basically a horror movie. ARTHUR: And now, you dinguses are persistence hunting the WHOLE PLANET. ——— Want 5,000 more comics like this?

COMIC: Horrifying

kill puppies for satan - Wikipedia

Oh yeah - this game kicked off Lumpley Games and everything that followed from that. It was unexpectedly kind of a big historical event.

There was a gateway indie game that blew my mind and transformed my whole concept of what was possible in TTRPG space, but it was in a completely different direction than one that anyone might expect or hope for

Oh my Satan I can NOT BELIEVE YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS!!!

I can't believe ANYONE knows about this!

I thought it was some indie shit my home town friends found on a BBS or something!

It's already a struggle to get people to read excellent books written by human authors. Entire industries exist to publish and promote them. Adding a pile of trash AI-written books on top of human literature will only obfuscate the quality stuff and weight the slopmeisters.

IMO your app should just crowdfund Sarah's salary and benefits for a month and let her go on strike for "irreplaceable" wages.

so, this weekend the great Dr. Demento did his final show. I could write a lot about the importance of his show to me & my friends when we were 12 and 13. there's more to it than "he played funny stuff" and "his show is where @alyankovic.bsky.social got his start." 1/3

Did it sink the cops? The regular police execute 10,000 dogs a year.

A favorite of mine.

This is why I am confused when people don’t understand why the local cops are not arresting ICE for doing a bunch of illegal stuff. Because ACAB and they support it, are helping it and wish they could do more things like ICE gets to. The police have never been your friend or on your side.

The ICE attacks have been going on for months and we’ve seen a bare handful of examples where local cops go “Whoa, not in my neighborhood!”

Masked men dragging people out of their locked cars is a crime. Shooting peaceful protesters with *anything* is a crime. Cops are not on our side.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

The CDC official who was leading the measles response and was RIFd has more than 28 yrs experience as the senior USG official leading outbreaks on Ebola, Marburg virus, and mpox. 2/4

NEW: @CDCgov hit hard by massive firings that several staff describe to me as a “bloodbath.”
Among those RIFd:
—leadership of the center for immunization and respiratory diseases;
—leadership of global health center
—leadership of the measles outbreak response; 1/4

... this implies the existence of Poppy Z. Dark #moregoth

Oh yes, one of the best soundtracks on the platform. I miss Sunsoft. :(

Absolutely BANGING retro OST from SUNSOFTS Meagadrive version of BATMAN. I played the ever living shit out of this game as a kid, the music was just imprinted into my brain forever.

Great backing track for this. 😗👌

Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world,... I feel like I can't take it. And my heart is just going to cave in.

AI Data Centers Are an Even Bigger Disaster Than Previously Thought An investment manager realized he made a crucial mistake — and that his grim prediction about AI investments may not have been cynical enough.

I saw the dot coms crash from a front row seat. AI is running out of money way faster.

The evangelism is insecurity from people who made the wrong bet. I’ve seen it before. futurism.com/future-socie...

We have laws, we have a legal system, we do not have justice. The rule of law is over in America. It is now simply a tool for the moneyed classes to oppress those without.

Many displaced Gazans (90% of the population) "will find fields of rubble where their homes once stood."

No, almost all of them will find rubble. 92% of residential buildings have been destroyed, 88% of commercial buildings. 62% of people have lost their property documentation, back to the Nakba

As someone who was at one time homeless I never understood the weight of these systems we live under more than then and know my political orientation started and ends there.

Regex isn't even that hard once you get used to it! It's a fun little puzzle! Why would you not want to do a fun little puzzle?!
