I spent the last 20 months cutting together around 390 horror films to make a new but familiar story. If you’re a horror fan, a cinephile, or an appreciator of editing, this is a film to grab some friends and have a spooky time this October. Family Go to the Bad House releasing 1st October!

Did you like Backrooms? Did you wish it was more fun and had a more coherent story and less A24 pretention? @factionman's Hostile Dimensions is a more relaxed alternative imho.
Review on Letterboxd for Hostile Dimensions (2023) saying, "The Backrooms is a beautiful art installation. But Hostile Dimensions is a better movie."

DEATH OF A VLOGGER is good fun, and HOSTILE DIMENSIONS perhaps even moreso (there's also some nice trans rep in the latter). Please do go and support Graham's next one!

It is essential to remember that Sensible centrists got everything they wanted in the UK. The left smashed, their Competent Sensible politicians won by a landslide last year and have a huge majority and the policies they dreamed of implemented. And the result is endless horror.

i know WHY this is but that just makes it even more of a kick in the pants lmao
screenshot of a tumblr post from user “wildmansters”

The thing that really boils my potatoes about Al in general is that I have been a creative professional for over a decade now and the devil has ALWAYS been in the details. Big and small, I've had single-person businesses rip me to shreds over how their colors turned out on newsprint, and have worked with huge companies with THICK brand guidelines with every detail of their brand identity laid out and enforced with an iron fist.

But I guess all of that stuff doesn't matter anymore? Who gives a fuck if this Al generated baby has six fingers, that mom-and-pop shop is still going to use it. That rug from Temu says Happy Thanksgivirg? Oh well haha it's just a silly funny thing now (nevermind that you never would have given a B-grade item from a craft show the same consideration). I don't actually care that the Al Coca-cola ad has a truck that changes size every scene, but I can't help but think about how, if it had been some poor underpaid artist, they would have been laughed out of the building.

I don't really know how to put it in a succint way but it just feels all the more obvious how much more grace and flexibility has always been possible but never offered.

In a first, renewables generate more power than coal globally
Solar and wind power aren’t just keeping up with global electricity demand anymore – they’re pulling ahead. According to a new analysis from energy think tank Ember, solar and wind combined outpaced global electricity demand growth in the first half of 2025. That shift led to a drop in both coal and gas generation compared to the same period last year. For the first time ever, renewables generated more power than coal globally. more…

One of the earliest examples of bar jokes is
Sumerian (c. 4500-1900 BC), and it features a dog:
"A dog walked into a tavern and said, 'I can't see a thing. I'll open this one!" [1] The humor of it is probably related to the Sumer way of life and has been lost, but the words remain.
