I guess what I find so weird about the whole "release the Epstein files" thing is that the proponents of it act as if it's a done deal if the House votes on it. It isn't. And I don't mean the whole "ongoing" investigation angle, it's dead way before that. First it has to pass the Senate, good luck.

This issue was great. Weird Godzilla is the best Godzilla.
Enter the Deadzone! The mysterious kai-sei infected wasteland the government says is uninhabited…

In this issue, our traveling circus of freaks come across a 40-foot woman who’s in love with the #KingoftheMonsters!

#GodzillaEscapeTheDeadzone [#KaiSeiEra] #4 is at LCS!

The Godzilla Store is so mad we Americans skewed the MMS poll to get a giant condor figure made. This shirt is masterfully passive-aggressive. #godzilladay

Wait wait wait… Having a fast, quiet train run through residential areas is bad?

For spooky season I thought maybe I'd watch the entire Ju-on franchise, including some recent entries I haven't seen. Two shorts and three and a half movies in, I'm already questioning if I want to spend the next week watching more of these. Maybe I switch to scarecrow or Jack the Ripper movies?

After The Strangers: Chapter 1 and The Strangers: Chapter 2, I’m really looking forward to The Strangers: Sunk Cost Fallacy.

I got my digital copy of Ripped to Shreds, a graphic novel based on an un-produced slasher movie script from 1980. It’s good! It’s basically a bunch of amusingly unlikely red herrings, until the very ridiculous (in the best way) reveal at the end.

This gigantic article traces the roots of Peter Thiel's philosophical beliefs, yet those beliefs are ultimately meaningless unless you accept very specific, non-Biblical versions of the Antichrist and the apocalypse as literally real. What are we doing here?

The Real Stakes, and Real Story, of Peter Thiel’s Antichrist Obsession — WIRED
Thirty years ago, a peace-loving Austrian theologian spoke to Peter Thiel about the apocalyptic theories of Nazi jurist Carl Schmitt. They’ve been a road map for the billionaire ever since.

I’m seeing all this doomsday stuff over Tilly Norwood, but… Is she completely AI? If so, can her likeness and voice be copyrighted? Can’t anyone just make a Tilly Norwood and put it in a movie?

This really seems like money laundering of some kind. The Haunting is the British video retitling of The Terror, which is public domain. The Terror Within is just Alien set in a budget conscious bunker.

I feel like the important part of the iPhone Air is not so much how thin it is, but how the efficient use of space and power usage will translate to the other iPhones.

A House of Dynamite trailer has narration by Carl Sagan. The 28 Years: The Bone Temple trailer has narration I’m pretty sure is Arthur C. Clarke. Is there a third trailer today with narration by another science communicator?

It’s so hard to remember that there was once a very good Hollywood movie about how heroic this guy was.
