Horror fans. Here are four things I’ve written: 1. Household Horror 2. “Tools of the Trade: A statistical analysis of slasher hardware” (ch 1 in Labors of Fear) 3. “Glitch Gothic” in Cinematic Ghosts 4. “Postdigital Gothic” in the Cambridge History of the Gothic.

Sen. Chris Murphy just said Trump was “at the center of a child sex trafficking ring” as the Epstein file vote nears. If a senator is saying that out loud, the files must be worse than we think? America deserves to see it!

What's your most niche and unimportant crusade?
Mine is that I use the symbol "var" (as scientific standards bodies indicate) for reactive power instead of "VAR" (most common) or something weird like "Var" or worse, "VAr".
I'll admit it does feel a bit odd to put "Mvar" next to "MW" and "MVA". 🔌💡

We gotta make this man politically toxic. He puts his name next to yours? Primaried! He endorses you? You lose!!
“If Schumer really wanted to use his considerable influence and leverage to stop this, he could have done that,” a senior Democratic Senate aide tells Zeteo. “He didn’t.”
Furious Liberals Call for Schumer to Step Aside, Senate Dems Mostly Quiet
After their shutdown surrender, liberal lawmakers are begging their base to unite behind them anyway – as Trumpland celebrates that their opposition is a bunch of 'p*ssies.'

Do any of my followers have connections with the Spence school on the upper east side? They have ghosted me and my research assistant and we are just trying to find out what happened with the wallpaper they said they’d take down in 2020. Just interested in the facts, not judgment.

Here's another bit of conventional wisdom Zohran completely blew away: His speech was at well above a 10th-grade level. It was complex, erudite, punctuated by deep and fluent references. You don't have to condescend to voters with baby talk! Part of re-establishing norms is speaking like an adult.

How are we supposed to trust critics? V/H/S Halloween is great of you’re 15; Frankenstein is absolutely stunning in every way( the wedding dress alone deserves an Oscar). Frankenstein needs a wide release. Everyone should see it in a theater. My favorite adaptation.
