swear to god, every time i'm forced to hear about this asshole every example of his "comedy" is like the boring shit the blandest guy in the dorm would say. sounds like stuff that absolutely killed in the whataburger parking lot among the huffers, but outside of that was actually pretty dull.

so does shane gillis actually tell jokes, or is his whole schtick just watered-down joe rogan declarative statements?

lmao one of those obscure authors whose work resulted in one of the most famous mini-series adaptations of all time

at least masefield has the excuse of having a poet's attention span!

i am 100% certain that the author of that jacobin article has never read mcmurtry

like, 90% of a story is this great moody evocation of mystery and unknown things pressing furtively but insistently upon the thin skin of the world...and then in the last page he's like "and the scary slug devil drove my friend to suicide. the end."

hold on...darth maldoror...ya'll might be onto something...

i really like e.f. benson, top tier spook-em-up writer for sure with a keen mastery of mood and atmosphere, but goddamn that guy seems to have some real trouble with endings. they always feel rushed to me, in some places even tacked on, like he just got a phone call and has to leave in a hurry

everything subsequent to the George Floyd protests has been the Establishment realizing that anything approaching that level of unrest will have to be met with immediate and indiscriminate deadly force

Adam Serwer @adamserwer.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

depressing to think that, even if amerikkkans could muster half the energy of, say, the French protesters, they'd be met with A-10 warthog strafing runs

After years of championing "free speech," Texas lawmakers have enabled a dramatic rise of censorship in Texas universities, banning concepts, canceling courses and closing departments seen as "woke," and even using AI bots as censors. All in the name of freedom. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

In other professors’ syllabi, the bot flagged the Pulitzer Prize–winning play Angels in America by Tony Kushner, essays by the Mexican American MacArthur genius grant recipient Sandra Cisneros, and materials related to a class about the Holocaust (that professor was told to drop material regarding Nazi persecution of LGBTQ people).

Putting aside the ideological slant of the new rules, the bot, like many large language models, seems to “hallucinate,” or make mistakes. The AAUP lawsuit lists texts banned for their “sex-based ecofeminist framework” and “gendered ecofeminist frameworks.” These phrases might sound persuasively like academese, but the academics behind the lawsuit had never heard of them; these concepts “do not exist,” the complaint says. Matthew Pehl, a history professor at Tech, told me that he knew several people who’d received reports from the system that were “plainly written by an AI that had hallucinated content or confused content from one class to another.”

i mean *maybe* the book, which was long-rumored to have been real (it wasn't) but which resulted in 18th c (and onward) fakes purporting to be the ancient real edition, is thematically connected to Machen's book, with its multiple interconnected fake stories of lurid crime and horror?

never encountered anyone making that connection before...and, admittedly, I'm kind of at a loss to do anything but point out that they're the same titles. hard, for me at least, to see something thematic there, but damned if it doesn't FEEL like there's some connection!

Brad Johnson @climatebrad.hillheat.com · 10/10/2026

given his background/interests in esoterism and western hermeticism, it seems certain that Machen meant for his book THE THREE IMPOSTERS (his best work, btw) to have some kind of resonance with the medieval legend of the Forbidden and Secret Tome "De Tribus Impostoribus."
