The week of Thanksgiving in the US means the start of #HorrorMoviesForTheHolidays.

From 11/24/25 to 1/2/26, all holiday horror movies I watch will be added to this thread.

Movies can be first-time watches or rewatches as long as they fit the criteria. #MutantFam #HorrorFam #Horrorsky

Journalists and editors love alliteration. While "can of corn" sounds dull when imagined, it catches the eyes -- which is why editors use the literary device.

It not only creates a rhythm in the language but it's also catchy and as @manwithpez.bsky.social noted, you'll read it over and over.
Thank you for this!

I just tossed out "box of cereal" as an example of something that's in another aisle from the canned corn, but I do see your point there too. That one would be less about the language itself, and more about painting a mental picture.

After a tiring week, I actually feel rested -- which is good because we are only weeks away from what is going be a very chaotic election cycle.

Unfortunately, voters haven't been allowed much reprieve in 2025. It's been hard. So, my advice is use the holidays to give yourself an actual break.

I don’t think I have ever been to Miami International Airport before this week, but I have to say — it may be among my least favorite airports.

They have Die Hard available on the plane, listed with the Christmas movies… because Die Hard is a Christmas movie.

There's Something in the Barn is based on stories of the Tomte, which are traditionally of Swedish lore (the film is set in Norway). The Tomte are gnomes that take care of a person's barn, including animals. However, disrespect them at your own peril. Offer them porridge. #FrightClub

He said kill her! It doesn't get more literal than that.
