For Halloween month, here's a fun Icelandic word spooky – draugslegur From "draugur" – meaning ghost; spectre; apparition, and the adjective ending, "-legur", which is applied to a fair host of Icelandic words to adjectivize them

In Phantom Menace they gave Slightly Younger Yoda big sideburns. I wish they had given him a big walrus mustache too so he looked like a stoner metal drummer.

(Accompanied by a still of Slightly Younger Yoda in Phantom Menace and I added a big walrus mustache to match his sideburns)

I am kicking off a series this month on the HALLOWEEN films. I am going to write about most of these over the next few weeks. I want to try to answer the following question: Why has Michael Myers sustained in the cultural imagination? www.patreon.com/willowcately...

Is your house overrun with singing, dancing skeletons?
A PSA style comic
Big text at the top says
Is your house overrun with singing, dancing skeletons?
Call 1-888-SKELETON today"

In the center, there's a concerned looking person holding a phone while skeletons that look sort of like the skeletons from the Silly Symphonies cartoon The Skeleton Dance dance in the background.
The person says to the phone
"is this 1-888-skeleton?"
"Yes, we have skeleton," comes the reply.
"I don't understand- do you get rid of the skeletons or bring more skeletons?"
"Yes," says the operator.
"What? D... D... Damnit," says the caller.

Big text at the bottom says "operators are standing by! Call now!"

For the first six months I lived in Colorado, I lived in an apartment that was literally across the street (and a short, pleasant walk thru a park) from a library branch. For a variety of reasons, that included, those were six of the best months of my life.

Yesterday someone listened to the entirety of my most recent album, from front to back, no skips, without me doing any promo (haven't done any in ~6 months and have had basically zero traffic during that time). That did amazing things for my mental health.

#JustListened So I randomly saw this and the band is actually here! An album by @eroina.bsky.social that is basically a loveletter to Italian pop-cinema from the '60s to the '80s. And it actually sounds exactly like the soundtracks of those movies! Very fun! Highly, highly recommended!

also i highly encourage u to watch southland tales if you've never seen it. a movie that will make you say "what do you mean, they made this 20 years ago"? the cast is basically every comedy actor from the early 00s and the rock in his best performance ever, by a hundred miles. watch southland tales

A good fresh Star Trek take on those fake isekai title jokes
A tumblr screenshot showing a post and two reblog responses, reading:
1. "star trek would be the ideal fictional universe to get trapped in because you'd explain your situation and they'd be like yeah makes sense. no further questions. fortunately we can use the mysterious warp signature emitting from this system's icy moon to counterface with the solar radiation and slingshot you back home"
2. "I'm from a universe where your world is all a work of fiction." Benjamin Sisko, nodding. "That happened to me once."
3. "I Got Isekaid Into The Star Trek Universe And They Quickly Understood What Was Happening"

I feel like people often name influences that are big cause if you spent an interview naming bands from your local scene no one has heard of you'd seem obnoxious. But as someone who was heavily inspired by our local scene and bands we toured with early on, here are some influences and where we met:

Creating original music has to be a labor of love. It’s more difficult than ever to stand out, more expensive to promote, and more challenging to avoid getting swallowed up in the algorithmic abyss. If you’re pursuing music only because you hope to become rich, well…good luck.
