A group of far right assholes have showed up to protest at David Douglas high school after students allegedly pushed back at a formation of a turning point chapter. School is out & they are outnumbered by predominantly Black & Brown students roasting the fuck out of them.

This old (70s?) Lovecraft cover used to vex me for years like I knew the image from somewhere and then one day it dawned on me that it's straight-up traced from a freaking scene from Nosferatu.

Book cover for The Shadow Over Innsmouth and Other Stories of Horror, by H.P. Lovecraft. There's a drawing of guy standing there wearing a long black coat. He has a grotesque green face and green hands with long fingers. He's transparent for some reason and through him we can see the horizon and some buildings.

A still from the original Nosferatu. Count Orlok is standing there in exactly the same pose as the guy on the book cover.

DHS is so off the deep end that a spokesperson appears to be using the line “That is a 40mm launcher that fires beanbags and rubber projectiles” like that excuses what we’re seeing.

Rubber bullets can kill people, even when they’re not fired at point blank range.

Here's the thing. We still have the power (probably) to say that this image must not be what America is. We still have the power to say "fuck no, we refuse to allow this to be what the streets of America look like." Attend a "No Kings" rally this Saturday. And then vote in 2026.

I personally find visiting the place where my loved ones rest quite challenging, mainly because I never feel their absence or lack of
life more intensely than when standing at their graves. The ongoing and evolving relationship I maintain with those I love who have passed away is manifest in the everyday, often in unexpected and sudden ways. The spirits of those who have passed on weave themselves through my conversations, actions, words and songs as sources of inspiration and guidance, as real and extant as anything else.

My uncle has Alzheimer's and is often forgetful of his possessions. One of them is a Rolex Submariner. Would I be justified in taking and caring for it as my own instead of having it left neglected and forgotten in his jewelry box? Thanks.

It’s Roger Moore’s birthday! This piece I wrote on his book about the making of LIVE AND LET DIE went wildly viral, sent the price of used copies of the book into the thousands for a spell, and very probably was a factor in the book being reprinted. web.archive.org/web/20170424...

Please be conscious if you protest this weekend that there are feds at the protest. They look like you and they sound like you, not like Steve Buscemi in that one clip with the skateboard. Thinking you can spot them is self delusion. Nobody you haven’t met needs to know your last name.

I’m no movie art expert, but the thing that always grabbed me about Drew Struzan’s art was that the figures in his work always looked like they were made of light. (Yeah yeah, “luminous beings.”)

It’s a quality that, of course, maps to movie imagery so perfectly.
