Yea I have them split into three ziplocks, two in the freezer, and the whole place still smells of them. They're great though! And what a deal!

I am so weary of that class of extremely online leftists who think being a Serious Person™️ who only posts and does nothing else is superior to being a Fun Person™️ who physically shows up

I deleted a post of me in a frog suit with my 7-yr old daughter because a big account reposted, admonishing us for not being serious enough protestors (or something). I shouldn’t have included my daughter in the image, which was why I deleted it. But I was stunned by the condescension.

We just have a private chat for just the two of us so we can spitball and brainstorm but then go back through all the ideas to choose which ones to roll with. That way we don't forget what we said unlike talking about it in person haha.

It's Thanksgiving. The real Thanksgiving. Not that fake one the Americans celebrate which is way too close to Christmas to be bearable.

CNN, try this on me after you show sympathy to the many innocent victims of America's illegal sanctions and wars. Until then, piss the hell off.

I bought a container of peeled garlic cloves from Costco - a massive container for $7 - but it is so strong, the entire house stinks of garlic even though it's in the fridge 😭

Notebooks, google docs, discord channels, and ellipsus docs filled with ideas. Whatever system works is the best system haha. David Lynch had napkins of ideas.

Most of our planning happens in discord, or IRL, then we flesh it out in discord, then put it in a doc.

Massive authors have been full out banned from Amazon. Author's make up such a small percent of Amazon's income, and even big publishers have trouble making Amazon do anything. They even cut their author representative program for bestsellers a few years ago.

Night Bitch is a new kinda take on it that mostly is an allegory for motherhood. Very much feminist horror that doesn't have a lot of subtly but is a good watch.

It's been really upsetting to stumble on AI videos of tragedy on tiktok. There's an account making videos of Mt. Everest deaths lately. Probably won't be able to use the app much longer because of unmarked AI and it sucks.

This is how a $45 shirt becomes $90 and then $180. This 2x multiplying through the chain is called keystone pricing.

So why can't the brand just sell it to a consumer for $90, cutting out the retail markup? Because if they become a retailer, they will need to raise prices to cover their new costs.

Always thought we watched the original Ju-On, but no, we'd never seen The Curse 1 & 2! They were straight-to-video low budget releases. But you can see the solid foundation, well done for it's budget.

The best of the series remains "Origins". It was so chilling, it slips into my thoughts regularly.

It's spooky season which means we have a new cosmic horror novel! This is like if Barb Wire was dropped into a Lovecraftian story, set in Kingsport after the apocalypse. If you like Fallout, Cyberpunk, or Lovecraft, with more sex? This is for you.

#horrorsky #newrelease

The cover for Kingsport Knockout by J.M. Keep. Features a 3d female model with dark hair that blows majestically behind her as she stares off with a defiant but neutral expression. She's wearing a tanktop and ripped jeans, and has some jewels shimmering on her body. Behind her is a ruins on fire with strange runic symbols glowing in the air.

"Atlantic Canadians were the most supportive, with 87 per cent..."

This continues the trend that Atlantic Canada is the most true to what we imagine Canada to be.

Most Canadians think boycotting U.S. goods or travel is helpful: Nanos

Four in five Canadians believe boycotting U.S.-made goods or avoiding travel to the United States could help strengthen Canada’s bargaining position with its southern neighbour.
