The true horror of the movie is how much of a dickhead the goat that played Black Philip was behind the scenes

Black Phillip: The Real Story Behind the Breakout Goat From ‘The Witch’

“He had the biggest horns,” says the animal's trainer. “Goats just don’t grow bigger horns than that.”

"These fascists are only doing fascism to distract from the Epstein files" is the 2025 version of "these fascists are only doing fascism because of Russian meddling and interference"

In the Expanse novels, space exploration is enabled by the discovery of the "Epstein Drive" which means in that reality they actually managed to figure out a way to derive power from endlessly changing the subject to "releasing the files"

In 2004, Parisian police were conducting a training exercise in the french catacombs and found, after moving past a desk and a tape playing audio of snarling dogs, a fully functional movie theater and bar. When they returned 3 days later, the equipment was gone, with a note: “Do not try to find us.”

Members of the force's sports squad, responsible
- among other tasks - for policing the 170 miles of tunnels, caves, galleries and catacombs that underlie large parts of Paris, stumbled on the complex while on a training exercise beneath the Palais de Chaillot, across the Seine from the Eiffel Tower.
After entering the network through a drain next to the Trocadero, the officers came across a tarpaulin marked: Building site, No access.
Behind that, a tunnel held a desk and a closed-circuit TV camera set to automatically record images of anyone passing. The mechanism also triggered a tape of dogs barking, "clearly designed to frighten people off," the spokesman said.
Further along, the tunnel opened into a vast 400 sq metre cave some 18m underground, "like an underground amphitheatre, with terraces cut into the rock and chairs".

There the police found a full-sized cinema screen, projection equipment, and tapes of a wide variety of films, including 1950s film noir classics and more recent thrillers. None of the films were banned or even offensive, the spokesman said.
A smaller cave next door had been turned into an informal restaurant and bar. "There were bottles of whisky and other spirits behind a bar, tables and chairs, a pressure-cooker for making couscous," the spokesman said.
"The whole thing ran off a professionally installed electricity system and there were at least three phone lines down there."
Three days later, when the police returned accompanied by experts from the French electricity board to see where the power was coming from, the phone and electricity lines had been cut and a note was lying in the middle of the floor: "Do not," it said, "try to find us."

I'm sure I'll think of more records after I post this, but for now I'll finish with one of my favorite bands that more people should be listening to. Blood Lemon bassist and singer Melanie Radford also plays bass in Built to Spill. This record is grunge tinted doom metal. Love it so much.

Kicking off the list is Canada's Blood Ceremony. All of their albums are great, but I picked this one because I love the cover. Very 70s doom with a sprinkle of Jethro Tull flute.
