did Sgt Hatred write this
A California winemaker is struggling to sell his Chardonnay ... so he's written a romantasy novella about it. The novella, unsurprisingly, looks awful.

POSTER: In my post I invented the Don’t Misunderstand the Torment Nexus Metaphor as a cautionary tale

CTO: At long last, I have misunderstood the Torment Nexus Metaphor from the classic post Don't Misunderstand The Torment Nexus Metaphor
"Torment Nexus" comes from this tweet and is often used now to describe the kind of negative experiences you can have with social networks, like getting dogpiled or harassed or being pushed into conflict

The orthodox economics notion that workers and owners both operate on the profit motive, but that the former save at a lower rate, is often given a moralistic gloss. Marxian circuit analysis is helpful in criticizing this idea.

the media class is so cooked. people rightly complain that journalists don't know history but they also don't seem to know journalism. the idf's relationship with nypd has been reported on many times over the last decade.

Cure
Alien
The Thing
Possession
The Shining
Halloween
Evil Dead 2
Night of the Living Dead

Dawn of the Dead would probably make the cut any other day. As would Return Of the Living Dead.

I’m not actually a big zombie movie guy, but the ones I like, I love.

Another honorable mention: Them
Quote this with the first four Horror movies that come to your mind that are 10/10s for you. No cheating. Just the first four that pop into your head.

Scream
The Descent
The Babadook
Alien

Not dunking on this as I get the intention, but the reason I’ve always treated books carefully is not veneration but finances: if you don’t have a lot of money you don’t want to have to buy a replacement.
The veneration of Books As Objects misses the point entirely. If you're reading a book, turn the corners down, break the spine, spill soup on it. It's your book, go nuts. A pristine, unread book is a tragedy in a way that a beloved, much-read book that looks like the dog's been at it could never be.
