Hello new followers! I’m a horror writer/director with a penchant for practical effects and stop motion animation. I was one of the writers of the shudder original horror comedy ‘Destroy all Neighbors’ and have several new projects percolating. Stay tuned!

Good reminder that people who are smart in an endearingly dumb way (believing themselves to be time traveling wizards through the power of drug) are always in danger of just becoming Regular Dumb at a moment's notice.

Morrison invoking AI alike to "God" indicates a severe misunderstanding of how AI appropriates the work of thousands, including their own, and someone needs to rectify their understanding ASAP.

But also it's a severe disservice to their colleagues anyway to use it and justify it like this.

Reddit comment from comic writer Grant Morrison explaining why they use AI

Harry goaz came on stage showing off his muscles, which sparked Jimmy Robertson to do it as well when she came on stage. Then when Sabrina showed up Harry tried to get her to do it as well, to a bit less aplomb I dare say

Ray wise, as always was funny and intense and hammed it up like crazy. He did his Paul McCartney impersonation which was pretty good!

If you’re like me, you sat up on your chair when S-tier character actor Kevin Tighe turned up in ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER. I had a wonderful conversation with him about it for The Reveal: thereveal.film/interview-ke...

It’s funny how the old media depiction of Nazis was always that they’re evil but dignified gentleman and now they’re openly just like “Hello. I’m the Anime Pedophile”

Enthusiasm Cannon

A drawing
large text at the top says "NEW! Skull mounted confetti cannons for people who find enthusiasm embarrassing!"
In the center, a drawing of a stern looking man in a suit with a small hole in his head that confetti is spraying out of, a diagram shows a tube mounted inside his head, connected to his brain with wires. The man is saying "I'm thrilled, truly." Small text in the corner says "do not ask how it works! It doesn't matter and it is not interesting!"
Large text underneath the drawing says "let everyone know how you feel without doing something that makes you want to crawl in a hole and die!"

I read something a while back that was like, oh, the billionaires solved the problem of the security team not being loyal: explosive neck collars, and it was like, oh boy, you're only making it harder on yourself

"I once met a former bodyguard of one billionaire with his own "bunker", who told me his security team's first priority, if this really did happen, would be to eliminate said boss and get in the bunker themselves. And he didn't seem to be joking."

Tech billionaires seem to be doom prepping. Should we be worried?

The debate is ramping up about what happens if - or when - computer intelligence overtakes humans

A team of researchers analyzed the anatomical dimensions of an infamous imprint on a Chicago sidewalk, sifting through photos and measuring mammal specimens in museum collections to put what they were seeing in context.

Their conclusion? The Chicago Rat Hole was not made by a rat.

The Chicago Rat Hole Was Not Made by a Rat

A statistical analysis of an infamous indentation in a sidewalk suggested a 99 percent likelihood that another rodent made the mark.

Tariffs have rapidly increased the price of coffee—a drink with almost no nutritional value and lots of functional substitutes. Yet coffee may also be the one thing Americans can’t live without, @elcush.bsky.social writes:

The Drink That Americans Won’t Give Up Without a Fight

Coffee has almost no nutritional value and lots of substitutes. It’s also, apparently, too important to lose.
