this is great news. however, I've never seen the original X-Files, so I have a LOT of catching up to do. 😂
News I needed.
Ryan Coogler says he’s rebooting ‘The X-Files’ for his mom, a major fan of the show, and she’s already read some pages: ‘She’s fired up.’

The title?

"Observations Upon Certain Passages in Mr. Jefferson's Notes on Virginia, Which Appear to Have a Tendency to Subvert Religion, and Establish a False Philosophy."
learned recently that the guy who wrote "The Night Before Christmas," clement clarke moore, also wrote a takedown of thomas jefferson's proto-scientific racism in "Notes on the State of Virginia," basically accusing him and others of making it up to justify slavery. which, that's right.

Also worth noting that he wrote that poem to amuse his children while he was waiting in line at the bank, and now every day someone is trying to tell us that you need AI to tell your kids a story.

Skill issue.

Played one of my world-famous Halloween mixtapes during a long drive with a friend over the weekend, and he kept dozing off. File under: CHILL BEATS FOR RELAXING, STUDYING, GIVING YOURSELF NIGHTMARES
Tinkering with some audio this morning reminded me to remind *you* -- I curate a series of Halloween mixtapes, free to stream or download, that will lend to your home or office a tone of the creepy, the kooky, the mysterious and spooky, from now 'til All Saints. Who wouldn't want that?

just got a copy of Bleak House from the library so I'm playing catch-up. Can I finish chapters 1-9 today? 🫠 #APStogether #BleakHouse
I have been greatly enjoying this. thank you for posting!
she should know just posting with no context isn't the right way to make fun of the slop.
Books I'm reading now. Just finished Yurei Attack! & today I'm watching the movie Kwaidan, which has some of the same stories. Not sure why I'm suddenly obsessed with Japanese ghosts. What movie should I watch next? I've never seen The Ring. 🖤👻

Yall, I looked it up. Polebridge, MT doesn’t have electricity. They use whale oil lamps.
Also, It was 35 degrees there today.
This is so amazing
Polebridge, Montana, and the surrounding North Fork area only has around 100 full-time residents. On Saturday, the hamlet on the edge of Glacier National Park saw more than 60 people attend a No Kings Indivisible rally at the dirt road intersection.

this Hoosier girl is so inspired by the turnout today in my little hometown.

Listen, over 300+ people showed up for a No Kings protest in ANGOLA, INDIANA. There is a whole part of Indiana waiting to be activated. We have never been all red. So what are we going to do with that information? I wish I could say. But I have Hope.
Incredible. If you grew up in Indiana, you know what a big deal this is.
Purdue to the rescue of IU student newspaper, whose institution was attempting censorship. Details in alt!
OK, so it looks like Purdue didn't print the forbidden issue of IU's newspaper. They printed a solidarity issue of their own newspaper, with editors from IU's newspaper contributing. so it really was a joint effort. Go Purdue and IU!!

The opening scenes of “The Alabama Solution” are at once hard to look at and hard to look away from. Grainy footage shows blood-streaked walls and trash and filth strewn about. Men appear to be in zombie-like trances in the corridors of Alabama prisons, with help seemingly nowhere to be found.

The directors of ‘The Alabama Solution’ discuss their piercing new documentary and what they hope people will take away from the film.
