I've begun the 2nd book in my stupid little series, because I was stuck on the first one. Some chapter titles:

The High Priests

The Time of Monsters

The Paper Daughters

At the Crossroads

The Box in the Mountains

They Who Dream Alone

A Savage Place

The Struggle of Nations

The Dust of Empire

Can’t believe I have to wait another week or two to see @realgdt.bsky.social’s Frankenstein. But I was just gifted the Criterion edition of his masterful The Shape of Water, so that is some consolation.

Filmmaker Guillermo del Toro says 'I'd rather die' than use generative AI

Del Toro's new Frankenstein adaption reimagines Mary Shelley's 1818 Gothic novel. Frankenstein was like a tech bro: "creating something without considering the consequences," he explains.

The visuals here are amazing, but will it be a gimmick, or another (hopefully less brutal) Cuphead?

I know old Hollywood was cutthroat. I know there have been mergers before this. It’s still tragic for movie lovers to see classic studios gobbled up by amoral sociopaths who couldn’t care less about legacies.

I can rest assure you MAGA finds this hilarious. They laugh at suffering, as long as it isn’t theirs. They remind me of something someone told me once: “Your tragedy is less important than my inconvenience.”

It's the deadliest year for ICE in decades. As detentions rise, the trend may continue

There have been at least 20 deaths in ICE custody in 2025, the deadliest year since 2004. As the agency is ramping up hiring and increasing detentions, concerns remain about how to stop the trend.

Did they really do that? I mean, I guess I can see the need to upgrade, new console and all that, but if they release another on PS5, yeah, it would be excessive.

I’d be fine if fewer games were open world. I can’t tell you how many good games have scared me off by “promising” 100 hours of play time. The only open worlds I want to see are the cream of the crop—Zelda, TES, Fallout, etc.

A black cat ran through my yard. I thought about following it to see if I could find its witch and maybe get her number, but it was way too fast. Godspeed, black cat. Go curse a Republican for me.

I don’t like football, and I don’t listen to Bad Bunny, but it’s gonna be great seeing all the MAGAs cry into their Cheerios when half the world tunes in for his Super Bowl halftime show. At this point I just auto-assume that anything that upsets MAGA is good for the culture and the country.

My film hot take of the day is that Adam Sandler should have been nominated, and quite possibly should have won, the Best Actor Oscar for Uncut Gems. I liked Joker, a lot, actually, but that’s not the role Joaquin Phoenix should have won for.

Not that I would recommend it, but have you guys been over on Twitter lately? Because they think it’s absolutely hilarious.

If one undocumented migrant got thrown off SNAP and 1 million citizens did, MAGA would declare that good.

They live every day in a world designed explicitly to be hostile to anyone who doesn’t 100% fit in to some vague, ever-shifting social paradigm. They have to account for every possibility. Their safety may depend on calling the right shots several steps before they happen. You want that person.

There’s this pervasive idea that only neurotypicals can handle high stress or high importance situations, but if you’re about to be faced with a choice that has serious consequences, you want a neurospicy person on your side. They will extrapolate every possible outcome into a mental flow chart.

How has no one made a streaming show out of that series? If I was in charge of greenlighting at Netflix, I’d stop producing awful movies for a second and pursue those books. I’m already head-casting the main character.

If you’re going to die you had better do it, and decrease the surplus population!

I didn’t know Fahrenheit 451 had been among the books that were banned. Ray Bradbury never wrote a sexual thing in his life. The novel is about authoritarians burning books. Gee, I wonder what their problem with it was.

Three high schoolers founded a book club that reads some of the country's most frequently banned books after a state law removing books with sexual content was signed in 2023. Two years later, many of the books have been reshelved and parts of the law can't be enforced.

Basically, I need to be kept safely away from anything using the words “deckbuilder” and “roguelike”. These things are bad for my health.

Kotaku did an article on a current Switch games sale, and the header had a mere partial image of Slay the Spire in it, and I swear I started to shake and shiver. I had to call my fucking sponsor and gaze for a while at my 1-year chip. That game is the reason I haven’t played Balatro yet.
