lol yes the American pretension of writing about murder, violence, and serial killers.

(For real, though, it's worth reading her essay "Why Is Your Writing So Violent?") archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes....

A Playbill for Waiting for Godot featuring the faces of Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter. Brandon J. Dirden has signed his initials between the two.

I was really impressed by him. I didn't make it to Stage Door in time for the big names, but I'm glad he signed my Playbill. This thread reminded me to get it on the wall.

The words "FIX YOUR HEARTS OR DIE" placed over David Lynch's face (a still from TWIN PEAKS THE RETURN).

I feel like we have the opportunity to turn David Lynch's quote into this moment's "Keep Calm and Carry On" and it's a far better rallying cry too.

I’m Team Argento but putting ANYTHING up against Bava’s Blood and Black Lace feels unfair.
One of the best opening credit sequences of all time.

I have a deep fondness for this Canadian student film about opera that aired on Bravo in the '90s. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pH_r...

Simply cannot stress enough that you’re gonna have to leave corporate media behind; it is hostile to you, and your lifestyle.

For a brief period of time, shitty journalists could eavesdrop on so many conversations they never had to actually go looking for sources and then Tie It All Together And Explain Things and get rewarded for it, and many of the worst of them are very mad it's stopped working as well!

...and less than 24 hours later Condé Nast has fired Lex and the rest of the Teen Vogue political desk, even as stories like this were bringing huge numbers of readers to the site

Every time you say "actually Frankenstein was the name of the scientist" you're just replicating his damnable act of disavowal and abandonment that drove his creation to murder but okay

I liked this one.

I'm not really one for cosplay, so it was a pleasant surprise when it turned out I was wearing the same outfit as Brennan for #VivaMasVegas I even got to meet Elaine Lee and Lee Moyer before the show to show it off.

Getting ready to see Claudia Lonow and Izzy Roland's D(e)ad before the Dimension 20 show. Viva Mas Vegas!

I cannot describe to you, adequately, how exhilarating it is to read Jenn Frank blog again after what I consider a lovecraftian horror metaphor happened to her. If you are not reading her essential blog updates you are not feeling the feelings of tangibility in your life. Remember feeling Real?

your regular reminder that this company can get straight in the fuckin bin

this is a move I taught in my introductory composition courses

the main thing Chotiner does that almost no other interviewer seems to do is, when a subject makes some sweepingly huge statement freighted with a lot of implicit claims, ask "what do you mean by that?" he asks them to tether a soundbite to specifics and they immediately crash out

impossible to overstate the degree to which we are being governed by people whose formative politics is gamergate, but DHS posting Halo memes to recruit for ICE is pretty close.

you’re overthinking this, I can tell you exactly what games to get based on relationship

Dad — THIRSTY SWORD LESBIANS

The marquee of the Aero Theatre reads: SAVALEX PRESENTS HORRORTHON AT THE DULUTH SPHERE

First time back in person since 2019.

Anyway, the tl;dr to take away from all this is a thing I have been repeating for ages, which is that extremism symbols function on a plausible-deniability basis. People who use them 100% rely on normal people going "I had no idea, so maybe he didn't either."

my next article will be for those who want to build their own newsletter/site but don't want to use substack.

i only use FOSS options for my content creation, so i think people looking for a free & cheap alternative to substack or medium will be very pleased.

Ooooh is your internet broken. Did someone's immaterial web of financial speculation and surveillance turn out to have a failure point in material infrastructure

Update 4: Thank You and Haunted Availability · Haunted Hello!Well, the project didn't make it. But that's okay! I knew it was kind of a long shot.  As promised, Haunted is available anyway!  If you're still interested, here's where to find it.DigitalIf yo...

how do you think the right got to where it is? because it looks a lot like by being willing to "yes, and" the concerns of its mildest constitutents while also feeding them a steady diet of more radical ideas framed as natural follow-ons
