Daphne du Maurier's original story is about a family facing a horrifying threat where even children leaving school are in danger. Government officials promise a plan to cope but then never deliver leaving them alone against the menace but there's no way that story would be relevant in 2026.

Yale owes all of us a prolonged apology.

Trump's weird bruises make some think he's falling over now. It'll happen on camera soon. Which won't be funny no matter how karmic but what WILL BE FUNNY is Marco Rubio subsequently falling over every time he takes a half a dozen steps.

TRAIN TO BUSAN: 10TH ANNIVERSARY REMASTERED & REVIVED is getting a 4K Ultra HD/Blu-ray Box Set on December 15. The discs come loaded with bonus features, including two audio commentary tracks, all-new behind-the-scenes featurettes, and archival materials.

BRIAN DE PALMA on modern filmmaking and why movies look so much worse than they used to.

LOL LOL LOL LOL etc etc

This warms my independent, pragmatic, good governance heart. Way to go gentlemen!

I haven’t felt this optimistic since the last time I was catastrophically optimistic.

Wrote my favorite Land of the Lost episode, too. The first time SF blew my mind as a child, in fact.

Bluesky when both Serbia and Brazil defeat fascists on the same day:

Oh so a country *can* choose not to make the same mistake twice

lula

Bright moon in Chicago tonight. My phone camera doesn't do it justice.

look, nothing is simple and i have no parsimonious explanation for anything here, but a student protest movement, focused on corruption & authoritarianism, just won a major european election. a big deal.

Servers at the Cheesecake Factory all over the country are mentally preparing for a night flooded w bad tippers

In ten years it'll be "Obama wouldn't let us eat at the Cheesecake Factory" but with a little luck I'll be dead.

trying to do tan suit arugula stuff to obama in 2026 is extremely funny. good luck with that. you need a mortgage to get halloween candy

We tried "everyone is entitled to an opinion" for three straight decades and all we have to show for it is four thousand cases of measles and a death cult running the government. It's time for people who don't know what they're talking about to shut the fuck up.

(Easiest prompt I've had all year)

After the recent Trump rallies, it's a novelty to see a president able to fill a venue again.

I dunno what 1986 me thought 2026 would be like but it sure wasn't this. 2001 me had soul-sucking vampires running the world playing us off against each other by dangling brass rings in front of our noses so well-done Eric, I guess.

My horror squad. I'm going with the classic investigator/soldier/transport/leader setup. Making Grace the leader because she's worked food service which means quick decisions under pressure and experience with getting difficult personalities to do their damn jobs.

"People are leaving “I Voted” stickers on a memorial residents have set up to honor the late Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston. 'Seventy of these stickers. We counted,' Araujo’s son Ronaldo beamed in a video. 'Thank you guys for voting and thinking about my dad.'” open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

"Run! Run! Run! Time to run and hide!" (According to the commentary track Samara Weaving's callback to the song in the first movie was her husband's favorite scene in the second)

Why are *bike lanes* such an issue with these people? Do they just live to whine and complain their lives away? What a miserable existence.

this is the funniest thing i've ever seen in my life

I'm a big fan of Scranton PA's own Cynthia Rothrock. Even when a movie she's in is dumb, she shines. And I think I came up with a good description of her default character: she's Bruce Lee crossed with Cindy Lauper.

JD needs to start doing squats, RDLs and glute bridges if he wants to remain vice president.

FUCK HIM UP GENERAL!

Trump arriving in Sioux City, Iowa today.

How I imagine the situation inside Team Vivek recently (if there’s at least one sane person there anyway)

"So the guy called himself a king" *muffled gasps from the panel* "and he sent thousands of soldiers to quarter in my city" *Washington audibly whispers "what the f-"* "and so we, like, formed this system where we'd call up people within a minute or two if they showed up" Paul Revere: hell yes

And our headline of the day comes from Rolling Stone: "The Last Tour for Our Horny, Mad King" "Donald Trump has spent his midterm campaign stops talking about hot male bodies. It only gets weirder from there"

Tempted to write that one down and stick it in my wallet.

this has never felt more true. it's rapists and their defenders all the way down.

I love Father Goose. I'm up for it any time. Secret bonus to it is Trevor Howard doing all his comic lines as serious as a heart attack, which somehow makes them funnier.

Cary Grant out there inventing the French tuck.

it cannot actually be ignored or danced around that the closure of BioWare came so soon after the Saudi and Jared Kushner acquisition of EA. they absolutely did take the studio making EA’s broadly queerest games out back and shoot it old yeller style. do not let yourself or colleagues ignore that

Even within our own crowd, Hillary Clinton can be a somewhat polarizing figure... Say what you want, but she was sadly prescient about two main points: 1. Trump would indeed become "Putin's puppet" and bend to his every wish. 2. Trump supporters are indeed as deplorable as they come. Spot-on.

You can stalk up to six women an hour in one of these bad boys.
