Robert Bloch: I kinda saw a news article about some guy in a small town who killed some people & got away with it for awhile. I'm going to write a book based around this vague idea.

Ian Brennan & Ryan Murphy: Ed Gein and Anthony Perkins were basically the same guy did you know that ?

You gotta find a way to blame a woman for that guy being a serial killer huh? You really needed her to be the one who "introduced him" to macabre shit that 'inspired him' Poor lil simpleton just didn't know no better?? Pathetic.

I haven't seen any season of that fuck ass show, but whoop boi this one seems extra fucking ridiculous.

The Anthony Perkins stuff in particular is nauseating. But also fuck them for writing this weird misogynistic fanfic about Adeline Watkins....

Klein explicitly says his project is to dishonestly portray the true nature of the right for his readers in hopes that helps foster some common ground to heal our nation. This didn’t work for Obama and it’s not gonna work for him.

We don't yet have any idea what the ideology of the Kirk shooter was.

But we do know that the Denver school shooter was a far-right white supremacist.

www.denverpost.com/2025/09/11/e...

‘Radicalized’ Evergreen High School shooter appeared to hold antisemitic, violent views in online accounts

Armed with a revolver, the 16-year-old shooter systematically reloaded and fired as he wandered the school, trying to find new targets, police say.

This is the digital stasi. Social media influencers utilizing tips from followers for content that they monetize while working with state actors to target the people they want.

It's all a spectacle packaged as content. Destroying people's lives for profitable ideological bloodsport.

Something about the two stories about ChatGPT's involvement in suicides/murder that came out this week that really stuck out to me: OpenAI basically has a boilerplate response when their product gets people killed.

"Deeply saddened"

www.wsj.com/tech/ai/chat...
www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/t...

WSJ: An OpenAI spokeswoman said the company has reached out to the Greenwich Police Department. “We are deeply saddened by this tragic event,” the spokeswoman said. “Our hearts go out to the family.”

NYT: Ms. Raine started reading the conversations, too. She had a different reaction: “ChatGPT killed my son.”

In an emailed statement, OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, wrote: “We are deeply saddened by Mr. Raine’s passing, and our thoughts are with his family. ChatGPT includes safeguards such as directing people to crisis help lines and referring them to real-world resources. While these safeguards work best in common, short exchanges, we’ve learned over time that they can sometimes become less reliable in long interactions where parts of the model’s safety training may degrade.”

I should dress my car up for Halloween as the car from Weapons

I saw Weapons again & my date pointed out that Justine drives the same car, same color as me.

I guess I didn't notice the first time I saw it.
