Follow-up: is Vicar Amelia a Kaiju?
Favorite Kaiju?
It's blurry, but the only proof that I did get to do my first DragonCon panel (the other panelists were fantastic)
Our queen of cunt Julia Hellraiser 2
I love learning history
Surely snakes use fitebite?
When it switches to Swan Lake, we will know the time has come
Who said that? I just wanna talk with them. Just talk.
I suppose that I'm conflating it with the ones that show the changing dimensions of the Conv/Deconv layers, they both have that bowtie shape
I suspect the divide is between people interested in implementation vs mathematical understanding
The line from Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality to the current Vice President is entirely too short for my comfort
On this day in 1823, Mary Shelley went with her father William Godwin to see Presumption; or, the Fate of Frankenstein at the English Opera House. She loved the novelty of seeing her story on stage and particularly liked that in the program the monster was named only as a series of hyphens.
Why is Toothless giving me bedroom eyes?
DragonCon Day 1: an auspicious start, the first cosplay I saw was a group doing Brotherhood of the Wolf. In unrelated news, I still suck at Warhammer
Yours is the Right to Begin grabbed me by the throat
I'm listening to Engines of Desire right now and the number of "WTFuck..." moments in Horses alone is off the charts. Instant fan of hers
I'm not a doomer, but there is a huge difference between organizations existing and being in the state they were in on January 17
Feels good to be back in A'lana
Narrowing down my DragonCon schedule is like asking which child is my favorite, but with special interests.
Fully justified, IMHO
Alternate theory: a car that's on fire and careening off a cliff isn't the best working environment and nobody with a brain and a soul is doing well right now
Sometimes, Spotify recommendations come through. This whole album is great. @devilsdoorbell.bsky.social I think you might especially appreciate this
Thirteen years later, when seeing himself as Pinhead for the first time in the mirror, Bradley would recall one of his lines from this play: I am in mourning for my humanity.
This play ran for two nights only, but it introduced the Dutchman (played by Doug Bradley). Aspects of the Dutchman would return as Pinhead, Candyman, and Mamoulian from The Damnation Game.
The title comes from a Pieter Bruegel painting and much of the imagery is drawn from Bruegel oeuvre. There is also at least one William Blake reference that I caught. Painters and painting are definitely core tho this play.
Quite good, but maybe not what you'd expect from Clive Barker if you only know him from horror.
Tonight's reading: Hunters in the Snow a (musical!) play by Clive Barker
IMO, this is one of the great things about metal. With the tiniest media literacy and effort you learn to distinguish discomfort from harm and you get practice cutting shitty people out of your life
Rewatching Hellraiser and I know it's supposed to make him seem pathetic, but I would have reacted the same way as Larry to that cut
I'm so excited for Candela Obscura, but I was so saddened to see "Finale"
The Great Khan has laid his trap, and now we wait...
Michael Cera
Wearing a hat that refers to yourself in the third person is beyond parody
I can overlook a lot, Lord knows I read some derivative garbage as a kid, but there is no way those windows close.
We claimed him in Kansas too, he is the Kansas City King after all
Tech N9ne was a pleasant surprise, I gotta say
Reminds me of the MaxMind fiasco that placed any IP address they couldn't locate at a 100 year old farmhouse in Potwin, KS
Reminiscing over that time I found out my coworker likes metal and recommended Zeal & Ardor. Turns out he is also a Stephen Crowder fan and hasn't spoken to me since
I'm sure it will endure, in the same sense that the Roman Empire lasted until 1453
Winds in the east, mist comin' in Like somethin' is brewin' and 'bout to begin Can't put my finger on what lies in store But I feel what's to happen all happened before
I can't believe I didn't watch it until this past weekend. So much wasted time
Don't you have an Elizabethean blood cult story to write before you start a Borgesian SciFi satire?
It's my favorite Mitch Heberg bit: "Every picture is of you when you were younger"
Obviously this entire screed is insane and incredibly racist, but I love the complaint that museums contain "nothing about the Future"
More seriously, I think there is more to this than plain misogyny (though that's part of it) If you view your hobby as exclusively male, then succeeding in that space proves your masculinity. If it turns out that gender is irrelevant, you see yourself as emasculated.
Somehow the protagonist being ABD makes it even scarier
Just saw the list of other panelists for my DragonCon panel. I'm definitely the weakest resume of the lot.
A grenade detonates off screen and Scooby chortles demurely into his paw
Once, it was bacon bits and ranch seasoning. Then it went back to French onion soup
Also, Ohio is sending one guard for every 1,000 citizens of DC. I suspect the governors are making token gestures of loyalty because they know the headline is all Trump cares about.
I propose a mini-marathon: Lifeforce, Event Horizon, In the Mouth of Madness. I call it "Feels Bad"
Finally watching Event Horizon for the 28th Anniversary, I hate that it has taken me this long.
I have the 4K box set as well, but I'm passing on the $50 remastered Re-Animator. Gotta draw the line somewhere. Earlier this year Hellraiser returned to theaters and it's honestly worth seeing on a big screen in 4K. You could see scuffs on the leather and almost smell pervasive cigarette smoke
Biker Mice From Mars origin story
Yeah my bad, I didn't realize the peace prize was Norway. I'm more familiar with the others
Worse, you threatened their neighbors by mistake
I'm not convinced that the falcon can even hear the falconer at this point
As Above, So Below. And then I wouldn't go in the catacombs
Hi/Bye
Gaussian Soap Bubbles rule everything around me
"I'm sure you are all wondering why I've gathered you here together today..."
Slightly diminish a band: Johnny Coins
Thesaurus ballads
Also, they are scared. They don't want to oppose him and don't want to be on-record as supporting this shit after he croaks. Judicial branch doesn't have that luxury because for the most part, you get the cases you're assigned
Lord, grant me the optimism of the coast guardian hanging a fender immediately before getting smacked by a destroyer doing 19 knots.
I love getting recommendations. I also love ignoring them and moving on if they don't sound interesting. 'Name 3 Heinlen novels' type gatekeeping is real, but this doesn't sound like that
I went in expecting a cheesy good time, but it was honestly better than I anticipated. Ooh, and Green Room is another good one with a political divide featured
Invisible Man (2020) and less seriously VFW are two that jump to mind
I once knew a Thomas Triplett, Thomas coming from the Aramaic for 'twin''
Me (an optimist): They view criminality as innate and inheritable, rather than circumstantial
Saw Ghost again a few days ago and it was amazing. Thinking of doing a last minute Papa cosplay for DragonCon. Mitre might not.
Was Waylon touring with them at the time? Because I could see him being a wildcard in a fight
I don't think it is likely, but at a certain point their options become try to knife him in the back or go down with him. Not that they have shown self-preservation instincts in the past though.
At the risk of OD'ing on hopium, the 25th amendment is a thing.
Dopamine Decor is fine and all, but I have more of a CortisolCore aesthetic
The same people who think the Judges of Mega City One is a good justice system
And another Glonzo is born
Cryptozoology Museum in Portland, ME
Wow we’re having “games are art” discourse again! Just gonna leave this here. From my dissertation:
And surely you would never needle him to provoke a reaction
Masterful gambit, Mr and Mrs Adelson
Who is the administrator of The Breakfast Club?!
I'm still hopeful that time will come when they have faded from general usage. Like audiophiles harvesting components from tube radios to get specific effects.
Now I feel like I got ripped off with the class I took last month. Wasn't sensual at all
lol at this response to a “man on the street” interview with protestors at the Tesla diner
Actually no deportations have to happen. They're not laws of physics. There's no deportation rule akin to gravity or dark energy. Hope this helps.
I appreciate they were in a tough spot because getting blacklisted would be a death sentence for them, but at the same time I can't blame anyone who is done with them
Did you see that they are making free "adult" content searchable again while they look for new payment processors?
The 90s were better in a lot of ways. None of my idols had been outed as abusers, I could make rent just taking the trash out once a week, and I got chocolate milk twice a day at school
Thought of the day: "Distraction isn't rest."
ML for Myrna Loy, ML for Mattie Lewis
Louisiana has over 3x the homicide rate of NYC
"We can't rule out malignancy at this stage, but the mass does appear to be buttery."
Happy birthday!

Also, this one is fitting this week
