Been listening non-stop to the new @ratboysband.bsky.social tracks as they've been released, but really nice to have the full album today. Can't wait for that show (with Florry opening!)

Give this man an honorary spot in UCB's friday night ASSSSCAT show.
Child at the podium: “A woo woo woo.”

Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.

Finally had time to finish The Clown King by @calmtomb.bsky.social. Happy endings? Not here. Every ending is frozen in a sickly yellow amber of dread, despair and horror. Highly recommend this unique collection of terror tales!

Pretty funny that the Ringwraiths in LOTR are undead entities powered by Sauron and wielding Rings Of Power, but when their horses get near water, they just have to turn around and leave. Bunch of dorks, if you ask me.

Your lead singer name is the last thing you drank and how you’ll die (which you saw in a crystal ball while visiting a one-eyed fortune teller at the fair on the outskirts of town). I’ll go first:

This is Tony "The Knuckle" Knucklini. Over there is Vin "The Elbow" Elbownio. And finally, we got Johnny "The Great Personality" Assfacelli.

In addition to Treasure Island most likely influencing @stephenking.bsky.social's IT (The Black Spot, deadlights), could there also be A Dark Tower influence in A Confederacy Of Dunces?

Didn't even notice @ethanembry.bsky.social in there at first. Very cool that this filmed around Atlanta, including my hometown of Douglasville.

Fun Fact: The Scream TV show also filmed in Douglasville at my high school.
Oh well wow look at that

Trying to explain to my bookie that I meant to take the Texans -3, but got distracted by the federal occupation of my city by unaccountable paramilitary goons.

All the distractions to distract me from the distractions that are being used to distract me from other distractions are really distracting. I'm at max distraction here, folks.
