Just watched the trailer for Scream 7, a movie I will not be seeing anytime soon.
First thing I saw is the Spyglass logo, an effective reminder that this is an Ellison project and a reminder of how dirty they did Melissa Berrera just for having a conscience.
Fuck off.

I've been watching vintage Halloween commercial collections on YouTube and this Temu Michael Myers from an ad for a television broadcast of Halloween II is really something to behold.

Great new song from the great band The Beths called "Ark of the Covenant."
Not really about Raiders (though surely nodding to it), but I still get a little burst of joy every time she sings the phrase "ark of the covenant."

Charlie Kirk called me a ‘lunatic’ and a ‘prostitute’ and demanded I be deported.
Nothing, *nothing*, justifies killing him, or robbing his kids of their dad.
We don’t know the identity or motive of the shooter but murder can *never* be the response to political disagreements.

In California for Oasis tomorrow and I did a little run in the neighborhood near my hotel. Afterward I felt that, as Nick Carraway says, “I was a guide, a pathfinder, an original settler. (My run) had casually conferred on me the freedom of the neighborhood.”

If you’re doing a ‘double tap’ strike on a hospital, you’re a war criminal and a terrorist.
#GAZA: Multiple journalists killed by Israeli strikes on Nasser Hospital, including a freelance journalist who worked for @apnews.com.
At least 8 people were killed in a double-tap strike on the 4th floor, Gaza's Health Ministry said, the second attack came as rescue crews arrived.
