It would cost like $35 to set up a webcam showing a live shot of Portland, where absolutely none of this is happening, that our media, if it had any dignity whatsoever, would immediately split screen to every time he starts saying this.

Eat fresh fruit. Like, enjoy what's available to you when it's there. Your palate dulls, food production changes, and you never know what's going to disappear.

I didn't realise you could delete the Discovery feed because they don't call it deleting. You unpin it. But it's the same effect, it's gone and you don't accidentally click on it any more.

That must have been a fun one. You got Alice Cooper!

It just keeps going! I remember wondering if he was going to stretch them out through the whole picture.

Watched PRINCE OF DARKNESS for the first time in a long while. I love the slow burn of it all, and the way the scientists' various levels of disbelief and cynicism evaporate once everyone starts having The Dream.

And the goo, of course. I love all the goo.

I don't know if NIGHT is my favorite horror movie, but it's in the top three. Endlessly rewatchable, insidiously simple and a master class on how to turn your limitations into strengths. Watch it again, you'll see.

Half a dozen ghouls walk toward a burning pickup truck in a black-and-white still from NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD.

NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD was released on this very day 57 years ago, so here's my review of the beautiful @criterion.bsky.social 4K release. shiny-things.ghost.io/rural-escape...

I would honestly love to see them trot out a double who immediately gives the game away by speaking in coherent sentences.

I love the little ones, those are the sets that always pick up the alien broadcasts.
