Not nearly enough people are listening to this band! If you enjoy prog metal and a mix of Dream Theater and TesseracT sounds right up your alley, give #SightOfTheia a listen. I've been jamming out to this album for days now!

Nearing the end of my semi-annual re-read of "Dracula," and again, I lament that we have never gotten a faithful film or TV miniseries adaptation starring Colm Feore and Ben Kingsley, circa 1998-2000, as the Count and Van Helsing...

Imagine being fortunate enough to not have any pressing medical needs but still paying for health insurance because you *might* need it, and then these dumbfucks cancel your policy without rhyme or reason. For god's sakes, get out there and vote as soon as you can.

I don't know if it's more sad or hilarious that I literally can't tell the difference between pre- and post-Alex Jones InfoWars ads. Like, I get this is satire, but it's just not that far off from "MAKING THE FREAKING FROGS GAY."

An image from the Onion's InfoWars depicting the transparent spirit of Jimmy Carter held at bay by an Anti-Jimmy Carter Dreamcatcher™. The text reads, "While they sleep at night, your family is psychically vulnerable to President Carter's wandering spirit. He can enter minds and infect them with thoughts of solar panels. To prevent this you can make or buy a specially designed net to ensnare his ghost, and you can decorate it so it's also a piece of art that brings both protection and beauty. Protect yourselves today."

I learned to remember the names of the Great Lakes by using the acronym H.O.M.E.S. Now that vindictive little cunt in DC threatens to change the name of Lake Ontario to Lake America. If this happens, the new acronym will be S.H.A.M.E. That will be his legacy.

I'm seeing a lot of tweets to the effect of "a college degree is not about making money" which seem to be missing the necessary follow-up, "which means that the cost of college degrees shouldn't be borne by the individual"

As a writer who initially unlisted their book early in their writing career--due to sheer embarrassment after realizing how bad it was because it was never edited--this is 100% MORE embarrassing than any mistake I could POSSIBLY make. Please, for the love of all that is holy, stop using this shit!

Just discovered this album on a rainy, muggy Texas morning, and it's brightening my day like lemon brightens food: "Laal" by Kapil Seshasayee. All the tracks are incredible, but "The Pink Mirror" and "370" are hitting especially hard. Highly recommended!

Been literal decades since I colored something and hung it on the fridge. ☺️

A page from a horror-themed coloring book featuring the Creature from the Black Lagoon, the Wolf Man, Frankenstein's Monster, and Dracula. The image is framed by a spooky-looking dead tree and features a haunted house beneath a full moon in the background. The entire thing has been lovingly colored in with Crayola color pencils by yours truly and is, quite frankly, a goddamn work of art. Suck it, AI.

A prescient quote, considering the voter apathy in the recent run-off elections. The answer might be obvious and simple, but choosing between "shitty" and "slightly less shitty" still feels shitty.
