Perfect for Halloween-time listening, ‘Conversations In a Dead Language’ 😱: One of the comparatively-rare ‘holiday-themed’ stories from weird-fiction master Thomas Ligotti (Link: one of the best sources of narrated Ligotti tales currently on YouTube):

So...the Game's afoot, eh? 🤔 😎 🤘 ✨
Let’s say there’s a scammer who keeps pretending to invite me on podcasts, but then schedules a “tech call” where he asks me to screen-share login info. What would be the funniest thing to keep “accidentally” sharing instead? I’m thinking The Human Centipede 2: Full Sequence (“sorry, wrong tab”)

*These* are the correct sorts of questions to be asking--! 🧐
Who are the people agreeing to fly these planes? Who are the people helping the passengers into the planes? Who are the air traffic controllers agreeing to do this work?

Absolutely no 'forced perspective'/viz-trickery here, just casually-available at the local train-station shop: A whopping, bad-day-erasing (possibly *life*-erasing) four LITERS of "What's in YOUR backpack?"😬

Somehow, this great photo gives, 'Cover of surprise Stephen King novella that hasn't been released yet' vibes 😳
On May 18, 1980, Richard Lasher shot this epic photo of the eruption of Mount St. Helens

Lasher was forced to abandon his Pinto and flee the giant plume of ash on his motorcycle

Lasher survived, his Pinto did not

Okay, so confession: I found a monkey’s paw and used it to wish for a third Tron movie. I hope the repercussions aren’t too bad, but I’m excited to see what the third film ends up being like!
