Happy Halloween listeners! For your ghoulish entertainment on this, the spookiest day, may we present perhaps RL Stine's most questionable decision: trying to write a mentally handicapped character. Also, OJ Simpson makes a surprise appearance. Thanks Cinco!

I watched History of the Occult tonight without really knowing anything about it going in and thought it was great. Actually quite scary and well done. It’s a little funny watching a movie really succeed at what Late Night With the Devil was trying to do.

It's much simpler than that. The Boy Scouts aren't maximally cruel to trans kids and so Republicans believe it should be destroyed.
Hegseth is very very terrified, deep deep down of something to do with maleness www.npr.org/2025/11/25/n...
U.S. ready to cut support to Scouts, accusing them of attacking 'boy-friendly spaces'
Documents show the U.S. military is planning to sever all ties with the organization formerly known as the Boy Scouts.

every single thing hegseth says in public reveals a bottomless pit of insecurity
When you draw a platoon leader like Hegseth, it’s your worst nightmare. You just ride it out until he’s gone and gets replaced by someone who isn’t a complete jackass. Only a fool like Trump would put one of them in charge of the entire defense department.

Oh, the dev that made Stray Souls changed their developer name (to another Japanese sounding studio title) and made another asset flip game... It somehow ended up more janky.

When ever one of those AI bros tires to tell you that artist are gatekeeping art remember that pros, armatures, hobbyist all stopped what they where doing to provide guidance to a newbie artist over the shared experience that "this one angle is hard to draw"
The "Frieren Looking Up" Art Trend attracted some Big Names in Animation! Excited for Season 2?

Much has been said about the cornucopia of horrible crap coming out of Riyadh Season, but with the comedy festival and Beastland taking the spotlight I don't think enough people are talking about Charlie Chonka and his Little Krazy Faktory.

It would be pretty difficult to not be aware of the way influencers use Japan to drum up guaranteed views, but if I had any doubts they would certainly have been cast aside when my fyp showed me that the relatively popular tiktok family down the street from me spent the month making ~Japan content~.

"It’s proof that the American right has spent better part of the last decade letting algorithmic spam tell them what they want to hear, astroturfing themselves into believing that some silent majority out there believes in their worthless MAGA crusade."
"This has all been especially painful for X users who are, as a baseline, extremely racist. And they are now suffering through the psychic torment of learning that users, predominately from the Global South, are behind some of the bigger right-wing accounts on the site."
Republicans astroturfed themselves

Breaking update to this: one of the presentations in the next session of this day was a dude from South Africa directly quoting Elon Musk and hyping up Neuralink. His topic appears to be, "Everyone is going to be a cyborg...but what if hackers made medical devices kill?" I'm dying.
There's also just...no practical benefit to this idea. To a trained eye, identifying entrance vs exit takes like 5 seconds unless it's highly atypical, and in that case the AI isn't going to be able to do it anyway. What's the point of saving me 5 seconds when I still have a whole autopsy to do?

The real and true story of why Police Squad (the TV series Naked Gun was based on and easily the funniest tv show of its time) was canceled is legitimately insane and one of the most egregious examples of TV malpractice I’ve ever heard:

really is incredible how often "men are having a problem, let's fix it using someone else's entire life" comes up. does the institute for family studies understand that children are whole complete human beings whose existence cannot be used as a coping mechanism for their fathers' anxieties? (no)

Steel thyself, child, and focus on the pins. Just as in life, you may only take one step at a time. But take care; every step removes yet another pin from the triangle of fate.
Leave but one, you're genius. Leave two, you're purdy smart. Leave three and you're just plain dumb. Leave four or more...
