Writer. Film lover. Horror evangelist. Anti-fascist. Night owl. Misfit toy. Pragmatic idealist, and skeptic at the same time. Autistic. AI is for suckers. If you’re interested in my pronouns, ask. Having a unisex name is useful in certain ways.
I don’t dislike Late Night, it’s a fun film, but you’re 100% correct. It is definitely a better film, doing something pretty similar. The ending of History of the Occult? The way that frames Argentina’s dictatorship? The first time I saw it, I said “Holy shit,” out loud, involuntarily.

After four years actively fighting back on my vegetarianism, my mom had a hard time understanding how I fell off the wagon so hard after less than a month dating my girlfriend, who made Bourgignon on our second date.
Like a 22yo moron, I said “mom. there’s cooking, and there’s COOKING.”

Yep. I had a black lab growing up. That dog snagged a 5 lbs pot roast, a whole raw chicken and 3 lbs of raw, ground venison at different points. After the venison, my mom started defrosting meat in the cabinet. I’d go to get a plate, and they’ll be on the counter because meat was defrosting.

Viola Fletcher, the oldest living survivor of the 1921 Tulsa race massacre, has died. She was 111.
"I have lived through the massacre every day. Our country may forget this history, but I cannot," she told Congress in 2021.
Geoff Bennett has more.

I will also note, through no effort of my own, if I compare my “Following” feed to this feed I curate of horror folks, it’s kinda crazy how much less the horror folks are dunking.

Public libraries are fucking awesome, and something we should all be proud this country actually decided to do. With so much terrible history, this is an unmitigated good, and librarians are a pretty amazing example of what public service can be. Give them love.
Some people don't know this so it's worth saying out loud that Public libraries are free to use. And even if you have never used a library, the librarians at your local library will be very happy to see you and help you get started.

TRAIN DREAMS (2025) Our connection to each other, our connection to the land, both as tenuous as they are impactful. A reminder that being alone and feeling alone don't have to go hand in hand. I'm crying and hugging my daughter and she's laughing at me while I smile. Goddamn movies, man.

I watched this about six months ago, and was pleasantly surprised by how much fun I had with it. I also agree, whatever other crimes against culture Paris Hilton can be accused of, she is good in this, and the practical effects are very cool.

I adored Ghost of Yotei from start to finish. Easily one of my games of the year. Big love to @garfep.bsky.social, @erikaishii.bsky.social, and @suckerpunchprod.bsky.social ❤️❤️

I told myself, for my own good and the good of the environment here, I would not quote dunk. I have largely been successful. Occasionally, it has to be done to discourage others from specific kinds of foolishness in my mentions. I also decided under 300 followers just gives them oxygen.
I’m guilty too but god this place would be better if we could all agree not to dunk on accounts with less than a hundred followers

Food and death. My favorite kinds of small talk.
Marko continues his quest to find out if pain can be quantified objectively by diving into the McGill Pain Questionnaire, and Corrigan has questions about food, memory, and final meals.

Absolutely love this. I've spent a fair portion of my life writing about games, but even prior to that I was always curious about what the actual participation is for folks involved, and how a cohesive whole comes from so many disparate parts and people. Kudos, this is amazing.
We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.
