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!

I cannot stress enough that Wes Craven did not have a single goddamned thing to do with Freddy's Nightmares, and I have no fucking clue what Polygon is smoking with this article

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.

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.

Sam Altman is The Music Man, but he sings about a different number of trombones every time you prompt him.

Chris Kluwe @chriswarcraft.bsky.social · 12h

It really feels like Sam Altman promised a lot of Very Serious Old People he was going to create capitalist blowjob jesus based off a tech demo, and now that the bottom’s falling out he’s throwing whatever he can think of at the wall to avoid getting disappeared because he wasted all their money.

The soundtrack for BELLY is superlative in every regard, from curation to bombast, and the highlight is the montage featuring D'Angelo's "Devil's Pie" under it — just uncannily smooth in his delivery and only ever made bangers, just look at his career.

RIP, D'Angelo

Watching GHOSTBUSTERS. I’ve never noticed in the notorious “ghost blowjob” scene that for some reason Ray is dressed as a pirate or something?

He’s wearing a doublet with fancy epaulets and there’s a sword leaning against the bed. How extensive WAS this scene originally??

Okay so this episode has Freddy allow himself to be caught and set on fire for he somehow seems to already know he’ll live on? Naw I dunno no thanks to that I think, personally!?
