Ah yes, a floor design that looks like spilt blood. Just what you want in a hospital.

@theguardian.com headline fail implies that homelessness is a "runaway success".

Guardian headline: "Homelessness, what can we learn from it's runaway success - and recent failures" over an image of a white -haired man playing an electric guitar in his kitchen.

WTF is this, Yahoo? Email inbox "streaks"? You want to gamify deleting spam now?

I NEED a horseshoe crab door knocker.

An old housefront in Lunenberg, Nova Scotia. Above the door is the name "Casa Codfish", and on the blue front door is a golden, life-sized horseshoe crab-shaped door knocker.

Even as an undemanding SF-obsessed child watching this in the local Odeon, I knew it was shite.

That's me, sat next to Susannah York.

I finally got round to watching an old film I worked on as a lighting assistant. It's one of the worst films I've ever seen, but it was fun to spend summer 1996 filming it in the Norfolk countryside. boxd.it/g5Hg

In surprising news, the Korean chicken restaurant that's full of Koreans turns out to be pretty good.

Gareth Edwards embracing AI is unsurprising perhaps, but fuck Schrader for saying this www.theguardian.com/film/2026/ma....

Schrader, director of American Gigolo and First Reformed as well as the writer of the Martin Scorsese-directed Taxi Driver, said that extras were also no longer needed. “Why are we paying extras $180 a day when they look so plastic? We not only pay them, we have to clothe them and feed them. Why don’t we just make them? We can and we will.”

Lovely evening listening to @johnnymains.co.uk talk about horror, libraries, and rediscovering lost Victorian stories. Can't wait to dive into the two collections I bought.

The covers of two gorgeous gold-embossed collections of stories: The Dead Of Summer, and Celtic Weird.

The same two books signed by the editor on the title pages, with the messages "Welcome to the depths of hell" and "Welcome to the weird"

Interesting that they say "Try to find" rather than just "Find". Is it like a treasure hunt? Is there an element of risk? Are there, in fact, any to find?
