Happy Halloween! This is the last day of our October $2 eBook sale. Come the morrow, Nov. 1, you'll be out of luck.

For research I’ve been looking up the top 10 best sellers in the various horror genres listed on Amazon. I thought I was familiar with what feels like a niche community, but there are DOZENS of horror authors who I’ve never heard of and they're apparently selling lots of books?

Terry’s chocolate orange with the Lament Configuration

Parents, please check your kids’ candy this Halloween. I just found this puzzle box inside a Terry’s chocolate orange, played with it for a moment, and a gang of black-clad, heavily pierced extra-dimensional beings showed up saying they have such sights to show me. Be safe.

I highly recommend Ghost, which is a similar model, but owned by a nonprofit. I believe you can migrate your paying audience over.

Pondering the idea of a mini podcast/video channel that solely performs critical analysis reviews of short horror stories. Does anything like that already exist?

Lately I'm experiencing a surge in people, both professionally and personally, who won't accept "no" for an answer. Is this a side effect of our culture shifting to the right? Regardless, it's fucking obnoxious.

I may not be as vocal online as I'd like to be, but that's because I know how to-

After working in podcasting for several years, I have complicated feelings about "true crime." I've never heard a show directly address those before until Hush season 2, episode 2 by @ryanjhaas.bsky.social & @leahsottile.bsky.social. It's worth listening, to understand what we're participating in.

I believe they recently announced a tour to supprt the new album. Enjoy the show!

I've followed your work for years and didn't realize we had similar music interests. I saw Agriculture last year and they were great.

The scariest of them all.

When I used to do this for a living, one of my colleagues referred to our job titles as "YouTube Goblins."

Benicio del Toro in a scene from ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER.

I've always loved Benny the Bull, but Sergio St. Carlos may be my new patron saint.

Before a movie today I saw an ad for AI that claimed "There's no better time to be alive" while playing a Mad Villain song.

The age of endless AI slop is here OpenAI’s Sora 2 is a deepfake AI slop machine. It’s an unholy abomination.

Infinite Jest. The Entertainment. The Samizdat.

"The film is so compelling that its viewers lose all interest in anything other than repeatedly viewing it, and thus eventually die."

😂 This guy would get eaten alive in a junior high locker room. I'd love to see how "hardcore" he is against "gangbangers." He sounds like Miguel Ferrer in Robocop.

I don’t agree with all the positions presented here, but appreciate the grace with which he presents them.

Nick Cave - The Red Hand Files - Issue #337- I’ve had several disagreements with friends about where you stand on things. Where do you…stand? Dear Alistair, I acknowledge that this may be, to you and your friends, an unhelpful admission, but I’m not entirely sure where I stand on...

Nick Cave, my priest in grief, nails it trying to come to terms with our current state of being.

"I am neither on the left nor on the right, finding both sides, as they mainly present themselves, indefensible and unrecognisable."

You goverment is executing random fishermen from other countries and hoping you don't give a shit.

Thinking about my friends in PDX. Stay safe. Resist smartly.

In Klamath Falls, Oregon, victory declared over antifa, which never showed up Towns from Washington state to Indiana have seen armed groups begin patrolling the streets after rumors spread on social media about an antifa invasion.

Five years ago, @brandyzadrozny.bsky.social and I did a story about rural Oregon's fever dream that Antifa was coming to their town from Portland.

Hundreds showed up armed downtown because they heard on Facebook that "Antifa buses" were coming.

No buses came so they said Antifa "retreated."

Really looking forward to this. Season 1 was excellent.
