What's the most beautiful horror movie you've ever seen? I would say Kwaidan, though I realize that's a pretty basic answer. But given Kwaidan as a benchmark, can you recommend a horror (or horror-adjacent) movie in that league, or even more gorgeous?

A hooded figure makes its way through a snowy nighttime landscape—and the sky is lit up by eyes. From Masaki Kobayashi's KWAIDAN (1965)

One of the quieter bits of social media soul suck is when front-facing camera comedy meets audience capture. Suddenly a person with a funny one-time gag (e.g. whacky baseball announcer voice) has to repeat the joke over and over again to maintain an audience.

I had a dream where I was discussing a subject with someone who was a lot smarter than me. Pulling from a deeper and more comprehensive knowledge base, asking more provocative questions. But ... my brain made up that person for the dream! How does that work?

Interesting quirk of The Social Network/Reckoning: both actors are older than the real-life Mark Zuckerberg. Like born before the real person, whom they're portraying in past events. I was curious how often this happens; found a good reddit thread that points to about a dozen examples.

I'm trying to make the idea of "Suburban Brainrot" a thing. A broad term to describe the personality quirks of suburban residents. Examples: - NIMBYism (obviously) - Excessive focus/gossip over what the neighbors are up to - Only capable of framing stuff in terms of how it affects them personally

Reading up on foam cannons - basically blasting your car with soap before a hand wash. I wondered about the water runoff - all this stuff goes straight into a storm drain if you're washing in the driveway. As far as I can tell, detailers solve this issue through a technique called "not caring".

Solid point I have to keep reminding myself of: what you pay attention to forms your reality. It doesn't mean bad stuff isn't happening; but you will never get to the bottom of the barrel of outrage, and it will trick you into depriving yourself of life-saving joy and meaning.
