Sometimes it’s your lucky day. Discovered that The Haunting, (the 1963 version and my all-time favorite horror film) is showing downtown late this afternoon. I turned on the TV to watch a little news with lunch and found The Scars of Dracula (Hammer Studios, Christopher Lee).

#Lanterns season finale…wow. Twists and no loose threads. At heart this is a great detective story. So refreshing. Can’t wait until S2.

Corporations spend more than $1.5 billion a year on union-busting. That’s $1.5 billion they could have spent on higher wages, better benefits, and improving workplace safety. Remember: if they weren’t so scared of worker power, they wouldn’t fight so hard against unions.

Is there irony that the same phenomenon occurs in the USA? Perhaps the adopted an indifference to “own the libs.” Now they just enjoy the cruelty. Opinion | Why does the hard right have such a high tolerance for domestic abusers in their midst? - The Guardian

Don't ever tell me both parties are the same.

Social media post:
@GOP Ls . 15h
Louisiana Republicans pass bill
criminalizing homelessness with jail and
unpaid labor.
@fuckyouiquit
The median cost to incarcerate someone
is about $66,000. The median cost to
permanently house and feed someone is
$16,000. They don't want to govern.
They want to oppress. So much so they
made being poor a crime.

This demonstrates the need for a national wealth tax in billionaires. Give them no place to hide.

RFK Jr's CDC reportedly scaled back foodborne disease tracking last year, removing cyclospora from mandatory reporting. The CDC also lost roughly 3,000 employees since 2025. Now? A cyclosporiasis outbreak has sickened thousands across 34 states. "Make America Healthy Again."

I second that opinion. Some movies are just meant to be seen that way.

Spider-Noir…now we know what Peter Parker would look like if he were to keep slinging webs until he’s 62. Kind of a cross between Karloff and Bogie. A fun show.

I think posting about posts that discuss posting on BlueSky should or should not count as engagement. Does a tree falling in a forest without anyone around to hear equate to the proverbial dog that could have caught the rabbit? I don’t know, but this may or may not have anything to do with BlueSky.

Really, isn’t this where the rubber meets the road: in group/out group, them v us, “good” v “evil”? Every fear, grievance, bigotry, and misplaced sense patriotism and faith has been crystallized into miscreated movement. Is winning a chamber of Congress or the Presidency enough to stop it?
