Happy birthday to this underrated gem, released October 2nd, 1987
Theatrical poster for the film Near Dark. Bill Paxton's character is standing slightly hunched over from his many wounds. He is burned and bloody, with one eye swollen shut but the other eye still alert. Light from behind him is shining through bullet holes in his body. A tagline just below the title says "...pray for daylight." And a second tagline near Paxton's shoulder reads "They can only kill you once, but they can terrify you forever."

These ads are getting on my Nerrven. I've got to get out of here. Good thing I've got my bible-sized assport ready to go.
A screenshot of another AI-generated Norwegian clickbait web ad. Again, the text says "Dette er en mulighet for alle nordmenn!" ("This is an opportunity for all Norwegians!") and the AI-generated photo shows a middle-aged man holding a Norwegian passport with misspelled text. Here the passport is labeled "Nerrven Passport," with the man's finger covering the 'P'. The passport is also a little too large, and parts of the man's fingers are missing.

Elsker å bo i Norrwana
Skjermbilde av en clickbait nettreklame. Teksten sier «Dette er en mulighet for alle nordmenn!» og bildet viser en mann i 40-årene som smiler og holder opp sitt norsk pass. På passet er Norges navn feilskrevet som «Norrwana».

Come for Gojira playing off the side of a castle, stay for the pyrotechnic opera, the hauntingly beautiful acrobatics, and the explosive disco dance-off.
A heavy metal guitarist strikes a powerful guitar pose while standing on a platform high on the walls of The Conciergerie building in Paris An opera singer dressed in a French revolutionary outfit stands on the bow of a stage ship, singing and raising her fist in defiance. Behind her, puffs of flame are shooting up between her and the walls of the Conciergerie building while Marie Antoinette looks out from the windows, holding her severed head in her hands. Acrobatic ballet dancers are swinging back and forth in the air atop flexible poles while their colorful flowing robes trail behind them On the Seine, a troupe of modern dancers perform on a barge with a light-up disco dance floor for a deck. They are dancing wildly with forceful arm movements, yet they are still synchronized in formation.

I'm still trying with Instagram because some friends still legitimately try to reach me there. But it's rough. I bought a notification filter app called Buzzkill (which rules, very happy with the purchase), but the list of blacklist phrases I need for ig is getting ridiculous.
Screenshot of the notification manager app Buzzkill, listing user-configured rules. One rule is "When I get a notification from Duolingo then summarize." Another rule for Instagram attempts to filter out notifications by blacklisting common phrases. In the screenshot the blacklisted phrases are for Instagram's Norwegian localization. If translated back to English, the rule would read "When I get a notification from Instagram that contains 'likes your message' or 'on your Story' or 'has sent a Reels video' or 'has sent a post' or 'who you might know' or 'to your message' or 'Take a look at' or 'has shared a note' or 's post' then summarize."

Ok I survived Vinmonopolet. The bottles are secure.

I didn't move here for love but I can tell you the ice of Tromsø too is muddy.
Photo of a busy winter streetscape. Cars and trucks drive through slush under overhead Christmas lights. On the curb is a ridge of dirty ice and snow that has been piled up by snow plows. It is not reflecting the Christmas lights. Another snowy streetscape with muddy ice and slush at the curb.

Trailer for a WWII period drama: "This is for all the parents who have lost children, and for my boy, George."

YouTube AI:
Screenshot of the YouTube video description for "Blitz Official Trailer (2024) Saoirse Ronan" from "Movie Trailers Source." There is a heading for "People mentioned" that lists one person: British musician Boy George (born 1961). There is an accompanying photo of Boy George with his famous androgynous style, with neatly trimmed facial hair, eyeliner, and a ladies' hat.

This is an abomination but it is also an example of the audacity that makes America the world leader in junk food innovation 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Photo of a pot of a freshly-cooked pot of Cheetos brand mac & cheese. The box is visible in the background, and a fork lifts a few noodles closer to the camera. The cheesy pasta has Cheetos' unnaturally vibrant orange color. At the back of the stove, an R2-D2 figurine looks on disapprovingly.

Or is it about getting dicked down by the lord of all vampires?
Screenshot of a tweet from Dr. Hazel (@HazelMonforton). The tweet shows two images from the Netflix adaptation of Castlevania. Both images are of the character Lisa Tepes, who in this adaptation fell in love with and married Dracula. In the first image, she looks young and innocent. The second image is from an in-universe oil painting of her. In this second image, her hair is artfully disheveled and her expression is a knowing smirk. The image is cropped but it is clear that in the wider painting she is holding a baby. Dr. Hazel's tweet suggests captions for the two images: "I'm going to fuck Dracula" vs. "I absolutely fucked Dracula"

I survived all five hours of The Movie Orgy. What a wild mid-century nostalgia fever dream that was! Kind of amazing tbh

(Natasha) Nice try, buddy
Screenshot of an Instagram message request from "Gloria Jackson" (antoniobr31). The message is "Hello handsome," punctuated by two hand wave emojis. The profile photo is a selfie of a busty brunette, taken from a high angle to emphasize her cleavage. It is a photo of adult film actress Natasha Nice.

"Lord Forgive Me" meme: A drawing of Bugs Bunny in profile, looking uncharacteristically solemn, holding up an old-fashioned flint-lock pistol, with a caption that evokes African American Vernacular English: "Lord forgive me, but it's time to go back to tha old me."

*Leaning out the window like a Victorian miser*
- You there, boy! What day is it?
- Why it's Terminator in 35mm Day, sir! The most wonderful day of the year!
Screenshot from a movie theater website advertising a showing of The Terminator in thirty-five millimeter today at six p.m. The backdrop is the classic shot of Arnold Schwarzenegger in a leather jacket and sunglasses holding a pistol and scowling menacingly.

I tried to speak a little Spanish with the older lady who runs the cafeteria I eat at all the time and she was stoked. Now when she sees me she goes "¡Hola Guapo!" and it makes my day every time. I'm just like

when you sign up for too many substacks
Still from Seinfeld of Newman talking to Jerry: "Because the mail never stops! It just keeps coming and coming and coming. There's never a let-up! It's relentless! Every day it piles up more and more and more! And you gotta get it out! But the more you get it out the more it keeps coming in! And then the bar code reader breaks, and it's Publisher's Clearinghouse day..."

Thinking about my favorite moment of the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy. Treebeard is so pure
'Now I am going to stand up and take a little sleep. Where will you stand?' 'We usually lie down to sleep,' said Merry. 'We shall be all right where we are.' 'Lie down to sleep!' said Treebeard. 'Why of course you do! Hm, hoom: I was forgetting: singing that song put me in mind of old times; almost thought that I was talking to young Entings, I did. Well, you can lie down on the bed. I am going to stand in the rain. Good night!'

Still frame from The Simpsons. At the nuclear plant, an announcement is telling employees that "Everyone who's found true love may leave early today." Workers are leaving excitedly, but one man is standing still, looking up at the loudspeaker despondently.

Truly one of the all time great tweets
Screenshot of a tweet from Zack Fox (@zackfox), dated September Third, 2018... "This how the photos be lookin in headlines when a white man kills his entire family" The photo is a stock image of a family riding a jet ski on a lake. The father is driving, a daughter is sitting behind him, and the mother is bringing up the rear. All are wearing blue life vests that match the blue paint job on the jet ski, plus matching sunglasses. They seem to be having a great time, but the whole scene is also very artificial.

Remember the reason for the season: Mega Man.

Merry Megamas, everyone!
Screenshot of Wikipedia's info sidebar for Mega Man 2, showing a picture of the "North American box art by Marc Ericksen." The image is a colorful drawing in a semi-realistic style. Mega Man in his blue-on-blue uniform is firing a gun at Quick Man who can be identified by the boomerang on his forehead. In the background, Crash Man is raising his drill arms menacingly while Dr. Wily stands behind him pointing at Mega Man as if ordering Crash Man to Attack. Screenshot of the Wikipedia sidebar for Mega Man 2, showing release dates. For Famicom in Japan: December 24, 1988. For NES in North America: June 1989. For the PAL NES in Europe: December 14, 1990.
