Telluride Horror Show kicks off today and I’m so grateful to be back as guest host. Pinching myself that I get to watch three days’ worth of horror movies surrounded by cool people in this idyllic spot. Will be posting daily recaps here but also lots of stories on Insta if you wanna follow along!

A scene from a walk in Telluride yesterday: golden leaves on a beautiful clear creek with a bridge running across it, golden trees in the background, mountains behind that, a lovely blue sky

Tish James is a strong and moral leader who has served New York with integrity and I sincerely hope this case is dismissed so she can keep protecting us.

The notes app on my Macbook very abruptly - as in, today - got spooky good and fast at predicting my text. I use it all the time, and I swear I'm typing some off-beat shit in there, and it's finishing my words before I even start them. It's scary! I turned it off but still, how'd it learn so fast 😭

Especially satisfying if you tell yourself, “You’re free, genie, you’re free!” as you do it.

New — I was fortunate to speak in front of students and faculty at Grinnell College in Iowa tonight about the business of independent journalism, the current state of media under Trump 2.0, and billionaire control.

I published my full speech because I thought it might resonate beyond campus:

Truth, morality and independence in journalism under the second Trump regime

Look. I think you should head to @bloody-disgusting.com to read @thewolfman.bsky.social's report on his stay at the POLTERGEIST. At the very least, I implore you to watch this his tour video. It's so fun! 👇

When I saw @thatwitchmia.bsky.social yesterday after being on a plane for 12 hours, she said, “Dolly’s sister asked for prayers, but EVERYTHING IS OK.” I wish I could get all worrying news delivered this way.

“There are just a lot of rumors flying around. But I figured if you heard it from me, you’d know that I was okay,” Dolly Parton said in a new two-minute video posted on Instagram. “I’m not ready to die yet. I don’t think God is through with me. And I ain’t done working.” https://to.pbs.org/4hc1DXB

'I'm not dying': Dolly Parton responds to concerns about her health

Late last month Parton postponed her first Las Vegas residency in 32 years, citing “health challenges.”

The 2017 documentary JANE has stayed in my heart since I first watched it. Streaming on Hulu - give it your time.
