yes, we boiled the planet, but it was worth it to make a machine that, instead of adding two plus two, takes the statistical average of every answer to questions containing "what" "is" "two" and "plus" from a database of illegal cell phone transcripts and returns a fake nude pic of a high schooler

Anywho, show up every day to do what you can with others and make sure that you're attending to people's material needs while doing so. That basic political engagement will put you in good stead. The rest is noise.

I think part of our work as horror writers in 2024 is to help people unlock the parts of themselves that can face terror and adversity without losing their humanity & goodness. We are entering an era of fear and horror like our species has never faced. We need heart.

caveats are: - they didnā€™t need to remake Speak No Evil, the original was perfect, but the remake cast is flawless so I gotta watch - I didnā€™t like Smile (thought it was stylish but unoriginal, and the best scare was in the trailer) BUT the sequel trailer looks so good
