what if there’s never a truly great sci-fi/horror anthology show again. What if this is all we get

all im asking for is a new twilight zonish anthology series with fresh, new, brilliantly written stories, acted well, and without any bullshit, and with variable segment lengths to suit the story. and I want 200 episodes of it. that’s it. why is that so difficult

It’s incredible that the VT State Senator wrapped up in this hasn’t resigned yet — every major GOP leader in the state has called for his resignation. Fixing democracy requires restoring shame to public life. And accountability. Lots of accountability. vtdigger.org/2025/10/14/v...

It's wild that when Trump talks about how they're getting rid of Democrat Programs and keeping Republican Programs he means "public health" and "Sicario Fantasy Camp: Chicagoland." Full polarization, to the point where anything aimed at keeping people alive or alleviating suffering is woke bullshit.

Ugh... This study has existed for decades, providing valuable health data for all sorts of topics and publications. This is just more awful news. 🛟😷 Sociology medsky

CDC team running top survey on health and nutrition is laid off

NHANES has collected data on eating patterns, diabetes, and other common diseases for decades. The CDC team that runs it has been fired.

No matter what you say, what you do, Israel will be remembered as a terrorist apartheid state. The people of the world have finally realized the pure evil in the hearts of Israeli people. Smell you later

It turns out that protecting hate speech did not create the conditions to protect other kinds of speech; instead, it protected hate and allowed hate movements to take over all the institutions of that might have defended the rest of us.

This is insane. I feel like I’m going insane when I’m watching this. Not just the fact that it’s clearly their fault, but the way a heavily-armed squad of masked thugs immediately jumps into the street and brutalizes the woman they just hit, despite having no idea who she is.

Kids do you want a nice thick slab of ham steak, some golden brown toast with melted butter, perfectly scrambled eggs with cheese? No? Just the generic “crispy rice” cereal? Very good. Excellent choice.

It’s true: the cities are lawless and scary, if you live here sell your property as fast as possible, particularly if you have a 2 family row house from the 1920s with those nice bay windows.

It’s also so surreal to have been worrying about this shit for nigh on 10 years and to see it happening. I feel like the guy who gets crushed by the steamroller in Austin Powers. “Lol”

I remembered recently that in 2016 I was telling some loved ones that Trump will win and be really bad but we have time to prepare before some really dark shit starts happening. They said how long do you think. I was like, we got at least 10 years. Did I do any preparation in those 10 years? No
