NBC News has reportedly eliminated its NBC BLK, NBC Asian America, NBC Latino and NBC OUT teams

The cuts affected teams across the NBC News operation and came as the network no longer needed to support two different news operations. MSNBC has begun growing its own newsroom, hiring swaths of tale...

I made this thread bc the following video couldn’t be downloaded from #TikTok (at least not on my phone). Please share if you can. This is a messed up case that reeks of a cover up. **warning: NTD News is associated with Epoch Times. (3/3)

…pointing to the contrary. The oddest of reactions came from #Netflix who removed #YuMenlong #AlanYu ‘s name from the cast list of #EternalLove. The show still pops up when you search his name, but it’s no longer listed with the other actors’ names. (2/3)

I’m not personally invested in this case, but PLEASE USE YOUR OWN DISCRETION when looking into it. The death of Chinese actor & singer #YuMenglong (aka #AlanYu) just keeps getting darker & the Chinese government keeps saying there’s no signs of foul play despite video evidence… (1/3)

For its anniversary, I revisited both WES CRAVEN'S NEW NIGHTMARE and the movie's unique tie-in novelization.

The author added another layer to the source material's meta-narrative; he inserted himself into the story!

I'm very glad this announcement is bringing people out of the woodwork to admit that Riverdale was, in fact, a net positive for television as a whole

town of Riverdale. For example, a brief list of stuff far spookier than zombies that happened over the course of the show's seven-season run:

Cult kidnappings, an organ-harvesting ring, ritualistic human sacrifice, a mass murderer called "The Black Hood,” a “Gargoyle King,” a “Mothman,” literally Satan, something called “the serial-killer gene," a possessed doll containing the spirit of a triplet consumed in the womb, a twincest relationship featuring a rotting corpse, a juvenile-prison fight club, underage-tickle-fetish porn, Veronica developing pheromone-venom that kills her lovers, a Biblical plague upon the town's firstborn, and musical numbers.

TV just hasn't been the same since Riverdale went off the air in 2023. Disney+ can't dig up that grave fast enough.

The aesthetics of Event Horizon really are unmatched, but the utility of these neon electronic tubes are a little more questionable...

Watched this on Tubi, which says it's a horror movie about lady reporters investigating giant rats in tunnels. It contains one (1) normal sized rat and it's actually about a shady land developer. Unclear why this is classified as horror, or even rated R. Devastatingly not as weird as hoped.

The poster for Tunnels (1989). It depicts two women terrified in a tunnel as a scary silhouette looms over them.
