Happy No-More-Kings Day tomorrow! And remember: Patriotism is helping the country you love do less wrong. Nationalism is pretending that it's *never* wrong. 🇺🇸 "Nationalism is Patriotism for Assholes." – Jon Lovett

What a book. RIP Don di Grazia. First published in 1998, his AMERICAN SKIN is another that I’ve always wondered whether Springsteen, famous title-borrower, appropriated for his own story debuted in 2000…

A wonderful revisitation of a strangely whitewashed portion of Springsteen history. The Blaster Mix, the Undercover Mix, the Freedom Mix... gotta rock it, don't stop!

If AI made it easy for me to spam the individuals who own that horrible Academia site with emails asking if they are the author of all the spam emails I receive, I might become a fan of AI.

Hikiko san no sangeki

Solid found footage/mockumemtary J-horror — falls short of Koji Shiraishi magic, but still some chilling moments and it scratched the itch

Is there a Japanese word for the special kind of gratitude and warm feeling that comes from the confirmation that other people also care about the small weird thing I care about and moreover put effort in to making it even better? There’s probably a German word. Anyway, thank you!

That’s so funny — I just got that package in the mail a couple days ago, I just hadn’t perused the books yet. All the more reason for me to get cracking! Thanks much.

So I was already loving @keithrosson.bsky.social ‘s FEVER HOUSE… now in the final stretch a character puts on Archers of Loaf’s Icky Mettle on the stereo, and there’s the cherry on top. Can’t wait for THE DEVIL BY NAME.

I really cannot overemphasize how serious those of us who say this might be the last meaningful election are this will not be anything like his first term and they are deadly serious about eliminating any possible opposition to their theocracy inside or outside the government

Yeah unfortunately a lot of the cool art came from it being affordable for artists and weirdos to live in proximity to one another in places like SF and NY so don't expect much on that front

Brian Hodge’s “West of Matamoros, North of Hell,” and Nathan Ballingrud’s “The Butcher’s Table.” And the latter’s sister story, while we’re at it, “The Atlas of Hell.” And if someone can figure out how to film Attila Veres’s “Multiplied By Zero,” there’s a real theme developing for this season!

The hill I will die on is that this is not a digital problem. We don't send younger kids out to play by themselves anymore for fear of kidnapping/CPS, and those kids become teens who don't do it either. There's also a loss of third spaces for teens. Even the freaking malls require chaperones.
