The end of the year holidays—whatever you celebrate, wherever you are—can still be, SHOULD BE, creepy. The leaves are leaving skeletal trees, the wind howls, and the nights keep getting longer (here in the Northern Hemisphere, anyway). Give ghosts, monsters, and the inexplicable to your loved ones!

I heard someone (on NVC I think) say if it really was that annoying, they would change the vocal track to Japanese and leave on English subs. I think that might work, but Fusion, Other M, and Corruption were all talky. I’m not scared of other people in Metroid.
Backlash surrounding Metroid Prime 4’s chatty supporting cast has inadvertently bled into one gamer’s relationship.

If you’re wanting Mortal Kombat 1 Definitive edition, AND you already own MKX, and MK11, but maybe not all the DLC? You could potentially save more buying the Elder God Bundle (which has a bundle discount) than the MK1 Definitive sale price. I literally paid less dollars for more stuff!
Save 80% on Mortal Kombat 1 on Steam
Discover a reborn Mortal Kombat™ Universe created by the Fire God Liu Kang. Mortal Kombat™ 1 ushers in a new era of the iconic franchise with a new fighting system, game modes, and fatalities!

Wait—is there 3D printed chicken in Campbell’s soup? Do they have modern equivalents of replicators in there? I’ll buy MORE! Meat without butchery? Hell yeah!

Thank you to everyone who has bought Skin Thief or Countess, or requested either at the library or written a review about them. You are keeping me writing. Literally. As a new long form writer every single sale matters. I want to write more books for you! I'm writing another right now! 🖤🙏

X rolled out a new feature overnight showing where accounts are based. This network of “Trump-supporting independent women” that claimed to be “real Americans” are based in Thailand.

The photos were stolen from European models & posts pushed pro-Trump lines while targeting Islam and LGBTQ people.

So, flailing into the void and tagging some editors I’d love to work with on this; I’ve written a short I specifically want adapted for audio. I have a formatting question before I submit: should it be like a film script?

This is how I learn MTG resigned (wasn’t doomscrolling too much the last two days).
Good for her, honestly.
GTFO while you can, be a victim advocate, turn your life around. Maybe we can flip the seat to an actual politically and PEOPLE minded individual.
Crockett on MTG resigning: "Honestly, I was like, you got to be kidding. You're on the other side of the president for one week and you can't take the heat? Imagine what it is to sit in my shoes."

“Just move” is the most disconnected, insulting, and privileged thing you can say to, frankly, anyone. Moving house, much more STATE, is physically and financially demanding, even if you could afford it.
But wouldn’t it be funny if there was a massive blue influx to red states and they flipped?
Bessent: "You know the best way to bring your inflation rate down? Move from a blue state to a red state. Blue state inflation is half a percent higher."

I’m going to run on: You wanna be a weird little freak and not be judged for it? All I ask is you extend the grace you’re seeking. Let others be weirdos and we can all be weirdos together. Except fascists.

45 said it was okay to call him that to Mamdani—just be a lil freak who DOESN’T hurt people.

i know we've all laughed about the worm and the affair but this is a profoundly dangerous person who should be expelled from the government.
Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.

In an interview, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. cited gaps in vaccine safety research. His critics say he is ignoring a larger point: Vaccines save lives.

To be fair, mainstream TMNT needs to be marketed to preteens and early teens. It’s perennially about growing up and fitting in—plus crime fighting.

The Last Ronin should probably be a series or miniseries that rewards us older TMNT fans for taking time to watch it unfold.

I need this Happy Feet sequel…
Sets for Batman Returns were kept very cold for the comfort of the real-life penguins involved. This meant that cast/crew repeatedly got sick during filming. The real-life penguins though would often fall in love with their animatronic counterparts or feel so settled that they began mating.

Pyres is the searing inferno of a book people need to keep warm as the cold weather draws in.
