YUP I CALLED IT.

For your retro Halloween ambiance, I made a series of full-length classic horror movies playing on a warped 1969 Sony Trinitron TV on a stormy night: youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Noticing how in the Disney film Bed Nobs and broomsticks there is a appearance of both British Indian and Afro Caribbean service men. I doubt there was the backlash similar appearance in 1917 set off. Interesting how memory and representation works

you know you were thinking it

Who's up? Reminder that there's a cheetah cub cam from the Smisthsonian Zoo! They're sleeping pretty hard at the moment but I check in on them periodically and it's soothing

I cannot believe I forgot to say the ACTUAL name of the band I was talking about (but IYKYK) yesterday. But it had been a while since I was on a stage instead of up in a booth in the dark pushing buttons. Nerves. It was nerves. Enjoy! youtu.be/AhxvOEluYcc

BBC News: The crimes behind unearthed Victorian Chester police mugshots. A small feature on some of the research and plans for @chestercells.bsky.social, opening on October 24th for historic tours at Chester Town Hall.

Good morning. It's Halloween Pop Tarts time. What's your favorite flavor?

Ryan Coogler’s ‘The X-Files’ reboot has officially been ordered to series at Hulu. Danielle Deadwyler and Himesh Patel play two highly decorated but vastly different FBI agents who are assigned cases involving unexplained phenomena.

The New York Public Library is making a selection of 25 new horror books available to borrow with no wait through October 31st!! How many have you read?

I've been a teacher at my school for almost 20 years now and ever since my first day, I've thought the year 5/6 building entrance looks like an angry monster. Well, this Halloween season, with the help of my year 6 students, we decorated the building just like I imagined. 😊

I need someone to develop an app where I deposit like $100 at the beginning of the year and then when I click on an article that’s behind a paywall they deduct a cost per article for that specific site and send it to the publication rather than expect me to subscribe to 50 outlets.

"Hey babe. What do you want to do this weekend? A new fetish just dropped."

Stopped by Signmakers in historic South Central to see the test cans for the restored Earl Carroll Theatre signage--thrilling! But our joy bubble got popped when we saw the demolition notices down the block. Such sweet Edwardian cottages (and kittens)--paging Altadena--save them!

Several weeks ago, Phil Tippett's legendary animation studio in Berkeley, CA closed. An anonymous hero noticed a folder of CDs. This turned out to be hundreds of unseen hi-res images and videos from Star Wars, Robocop, Jurassic Park, etc. ~90 isos for you to browse: archive.org/details/tipp...

Saturday! The spooky season starts with a bang as we're joined by Nathan Marsak, the twisted mind behind the red hot true crime zine Bunker Noir, on a stroll through a lost Bunker Hill world of sinister sirens, lurid love dens and... LIZARD PEOPLE!? esotouric.com/event/bunker...

Sweet Shop is now open and comics couldn't be sweeter! We are so glad to partner up with our buds @imagecomics to offer an incredible DRM-FREE deal on the Massive-Verse for just $25, one of the best comic universes around. Even better, the bundle supports the incredible charity BINC.

...which cheered and applauded repeatedly at half a dozen truly spectacular and pleasurable monster action sequences. These movies are like musicals; I would trim back the book but not a second of the songs. (They gave us intense no-spoilers warnings so this is me not telling you anything.) >

Given that Netanyahu has already threatened Naza's directors, the film deserves loud and full-throated support and I hope the U.S. film community steps up for it. Hopefully he's just Streisand-effected the movie into getting the large audience that it absolutely merits.

🎉✊🏾🤣

Happy 9 to 5 from my amazing Bear cast to all who will now start celebrating!

IKEA is releasing a Pallas Cat plush, and they have nailed the expression…

“The abuse that immigration agents inflict on people everywhere from Evanston streets to Alabama construction sites underscores that Kavanaugh’s racial profiling apologia in _Vasquez Perdomo_ was always based on a fantasy.” ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

She glows. 💫

That man is running around sowing absolute CHAOS from fixing potholes and opening grocery stores and something about water fountains and now free opera tickets and I AM HERE FOR IT

My EPIC cast and director who SLAYED our sold out opening night!

Congratulations to the nominees in the 2026 @WolfsonHistory Prize. You can find reading related to four of the shortlisted titles in the History Today archive. #WolfsonHistoryPrize 1/5

“Langston Hughes’ literary estate now belongs to International Literary Properties, which says a Harlem Renaissance licensing program is next on its list.”

Today, with backing from the ACLU, Kelton and twelve other named researchers filed a class action suit against the NIH under director Jay Bhattacharya for censoring their research and violating their First Amendment rights.

New — I wrote about this weird thing where people within the Republican party keep being exposed as Nazis and the party then tries to claim each one is an aberration. The facts, as I lay out here, indicate otherwise:

I'm serious when I say I've lost track of all the recent revelations of literal Nazis working in high-level positions in Republican congressional campaigns and I would very much appreciate a journalist who took the time to detail as many of them as can fit into an article.
