I wrote liner notes for the vinyl reissue of Sally Shapiro's classic debut, Disco Romance. Check it out! It was an honor to be chosen by a band I love so much. sallyshapiro.bandcamp.com/album/disco-...

Solar has overtaken nuclear. A decade ago it supplied 1% of the world's power. In 2025 it met three quarters of global demand growth. Almost nobody saw it coming. I spoke to Jocelyn Timperley at BBC Future about why. www.bbc.co.uk/future/artic...

As 007 taught us, after you go to space you have to bring things back down to earth, and so @michaelvarrati.bsky.social and @brendohales.bsky.social did just that, setting this year’s Chainsaw Awards in a Halloween corn maze. TW: I will be presenting an award. Tonight at 9pm ET on Shudder TV!

Heidi Wong's Halloween costume (instagram) is as the Shimmer from the Annihilation movie, with a purse using my novel. Really clever, looks good affixed to the purse.

If you’re a Democrat with an email address or a phone, you get these pleas: A candidate needs your dollars. Democracy needs your dollars. It doesn’t have to be much—but it can’t be nothing. But where does your donation actually go? trib.al/sV9lINB

Really good, thought-provoking Halloween fare from @philnobilejr.bsky.social today

Talented musician. Annoying person.

Hi everyone, sorry to be a pain and share this again but I’m doing my best to promote this & I’m on my own. Anyway, MONSTERS, MAKEUP & EFFECTS: VOL 3 is set to be released in December & you can preorder it here: darkinkbooks.com/store/p/pre-... Any shares would be appreciated. Thank you! 🖤

There was a fucking hole in our planet’s *atmosphere* Like a legit, no joke, “this will unravel our entire ecosystem” hole in the world, and then we fixed it by working together across national and political lines As a species we decided, “we will survive” Let’s do that some more

Get on Proton Totally worth it

a 25 year old could not comprehend how bad the dining options were in the median American town in 1996

Do you know how much better food has become in the last thirty years, like, everywhere? It’s crazy. Drinking too.

Criterion or Arrow need to get on a Devils special edition 4k UHD package STAT. (He posts without looking into whether this is already happening.)

Data privacy class actions are going to be a very robust practice area — even more than they have been. If I were in law school, I’d probably be setting myself up for this track.

As we approach the midterms, remember that the Alt National Park Service is a merch sales operation claiming without evidence to be a group of federal employees, and is not a genuine source of news about elections of any kind. Please get your election info from a local, reputable source.

Nerd stuff but Richard Riehle was also Batai in "The Inner Light," one of the best Star Trek TNG episodes ever

The much-beloved soundtrack of SINNERS is getting its own museum exhibit in Los Angeles. Get all the details here.

I feel like no one told me and definitely no one asked my permission when "compute" became a noun. Like I'm a friend to all nerds. But this was a little out of hand. And shld have been reined in.

New Fontaines record is 🔥🔥🔥

Many people in writer Rachel Handler’s life felt that something was amiss, that commercial chocolate didn’t taste the way it used to. For our Cover Story, Handler spends several months tumbling down a chocolate vortex to find out why. www.grubstreet.com/article/choc...

This is 100% true: once upon a time people watched bonus features on DVDs where they learned all kinds of interesting movie facts

Comicbook dot com is an insult to one’s intelligence. The site is basically unreadable now.

RIP to this angel

Alan Sepinwall and I wrote an entire book about a series like this. It was about mobsters in New Jersey.

no one over 40 is gonna buy this because you can't play a bluray in it and no one under 40 will buy it because its going to cost $1200

it's called "Claudio Simonetti's Goblin" because Claudio Simonetti was the first person to catalog that specific type of goblin. look it up

“The internet is a store but it used to be a library” hits me like a slug to the chest

Saw Streetfighter with @mzspress.bsky.social. In a word? Glorious. The anime moments are so strong that I wish the whole movie were done way. But the Frankenstein patchwork is vivid, fun, and true to 80s action-trash sensibility à la Commando, '86 Running Man, Kickboxer.

Love when a first-time contributor gets to see their article in print 🥰

Meta took down the No Kings instagram; TikTok banned the Musk documentary account for supposedly violating its political posting policies. A reminder that platforms are owned by the wealthiest of people, control the means of media distribution, & put their thumbs on the democracy scale as they wish

it seems to shock the New Zealand government that Peter Jackson, Taika Waititi, and the Conchords etc all emerged from the same city in the same span, which coincidentally is when Wellington rent was dirt-cheap and there were heaps of empty industrial buildings around

People who socialize with ease: How do you do it?

Singleton dying at 51 is just fucked up. Imagine what else he had to say.

Stanley Clarke's score for Boyz n the Hood is strikingly good... and as tragic as the story. Top-notch material.
