Brian Duffield: For Good

This brainwormed monster thinks that if physically compromised people die from infections in big enough numbers, the "herd" will be stronger. And Republican Senators decided it was fine to give him this country as a lab to experiment on. Hell is too good for them, but I'll accept it as a compromise.

If there were an airline that said "You can sit next to a strange person or for $50 more you can sit next to a big dog" they'd get my business every single time.

The best books of 2025 so far

Thank you, @vulture.com. This helps alleviate my ceaseless ennui.

great find. I was probably there. 😜 bsky.app/profile/your...

I'm going to be running a subscription drive this weekend. I need to sell a certain number of annual subscriptions, which are a discount off the month-to-month cost. It's urgent, and I'm going to throw in some random incentives.

Daniel Kraus returns to the show next week! We talked about CREEPSHOW and it was very fun.

Who is going to be the staffer that has to explain to him this implies he's the reincarnation of Saddam Hussein?

Paramount executives who’ve been doing everything they can to appease Trump watching the South Park premiere after giving Trey & Matt 1.5 billion a few days earlier.

@danielkraus.com: "The whole reason I'm writing - the whole enchilada, this is it, this is everything - is the energy of the sentence. To put the words in an order that is surprising, that you aren't expecting that word to follow this word. That's EVERYTHING. That's why I wake up in the morning."⚡

ANGEL DOWN by @danielkraus.com: A roiling, relentless maelstrom of mud, blood, and miracles. A formalist masterpiece that's also an emotional onslaught of the highest order. One of the most compelling books in any genre you will read this year.

On sale 7/29.

Think it’s such a complete theatrical experience that people don’t engage with it outside theaters (complimentary)

Omg

Best part of the SDCC show floor are all the weird little collectible booths. Movie posters, OOP soundtracks, toys, books, etc. I nabbed this great Cycle of the Werewolf promo poster from 1985 tonight!

Take a peek into what can horrify #BTTWNS writer & creator @patrickhorvath.bsky.social!

A lot goes into creating horror novels, see what Patrick is drawn to and maybe get a new read that even Samantha Strong would be scared of.

When As the World Turns was done, her character’s full name was Lisa Miller Hughes Eldridge Shea Colman McColl Mitchell Grimaldi Chedwyn.

A fantastic detail from the Hollywood Reporter obit of daytime soap great Eileen Fulton, who has died at 91.

Is Colbert’s Ouster Really Just a ‘Financial Decision’? CBS no longer deserves the benefit of the doubt.

With the highest ratings in the time slot? I'm gonna go with it was a White House requirement for approving the merger.

One thing I believe is that it’s a super good look for a TV network to cancel a show in a what seems like an effort to get in the good graces of a guy who that very day was revealed to have signed a birthday card to a famous sex criminal: “Shhh I’ll never tell xoxo gossip pedophile.”

My nightmare at AMC

It’s something man

Definitely the one that runs my whole life which is that sperm whales don’t chew with their mouths, they chew with their stomachs.

Blessed to be unlocking previously unheard of and indeed questioned levels of exhaustion AMA

I’m on the cover of @metroweekly.bsky.social this week with a piece about Brokeback Mountain’s profound personal and political importance.

20 years after its initial release, the film still reminds us why we refuse to live in loneliness, and why we fight.

Read my piece and the whole issue here:

nothing sucks more than the natural consequences of your own dumbass choices

I love YENTL.

I have an entire family. The lineage continues.
