That’s not true, he loves, umm, Steve Pieczenick and... this one weird Italian guy who used to be a house DJ and invented a religion based on The Matrix.

All I know about Stelter is that Alex Jones hates him, frequently going into spittle-flecked rants about what a “demonically possessed child molester” Stelter allegedly resembles. My working theory is that Stelter looks like Jones minus decades of alcoholism, performative rage, and lost lawsuits, plus an actually…

Honestly? I kind of respect this. My mother said some truly mean and hurtful things to me as a child and adolescent, but I’m too lazy to hold a grudge. I’m also too lazy to make millions with any endeavor, so it’s kind of a non-issue.

I also somehow missed that Beanie Feldstein would be playing Lewinsky. My interest in this just went from essentially zero (I’m 46, I lived through this shitstorm and didn’t particularly want to re-live it) to... well, not zero, anyway.

TikTok has largely replaced Twitter and Facebook for me as the thing I like to idly scroll through the most. And it has a pretty good algorithm, because I never see stupid challenges like this, or people doing dumbass dances, or any of the other detritus that frequently shows up in Great Job Internet columns. TikTok…

I introduced my brother to Vic Berger’s work with one of his videos about Jim Bakker and his apocalypse slop, and now I get an excited text whenever a new one drops. I watched this yesterday at work but had to keep stopping as my face hurt from trying not to blurt laugh like a hyena. Highlights were Dave Ruben begging…

The biggest investor in the Segway driving one off a cliff to his death probably didn’t do the thing any favors.

Me? I love the book, love most of Villaneuve’s films, and do not subscribe to the trendy “Actually, the Lynch version was good” argument.

It’s like the media reporting on Cornelius getting fired as the Olympic music director for admissions of “bullying”. What he actually did sounded like the actions of a budding psychopath and something that, in a less dysfunctional society, would have merited intensive therapy. (And it’s not just AV Club, The…

Alex Jones has entered the chat

I thought he wasn’t able to play any more anyway, on account of how those awful, awful vaccine shots messed up his hands? Which was somehow different from the nerve damage he’s been claiming messed up his hands since the early 00's? Maybe he was going to give a spoken word tour where he just advocated for a racially…

Lynette is the Final Girl from the Silent Night, Deadly Night franchise (called Slay Bells in the book, which I actually think is an improvement). She’s the main/POV character, but maybe Theron will hold out for one of the characters from a less stupid franchise.

It was Halima Aden in 2019. She wore a burkini.

But now, all you need to do is be mega rich.

Thanks, I’ll note it, I’ve liked his other books. Lots of good horror coming out this summer—besides FGSG there was a new edition/translation of The Decagon House Murders a couple months ago, and next month there’s Nothing But Blackened Teeth.

I listened to that on audio as well, and the reader (Mirron Willis, who is a Black man, which is important because so many of the hoaxes were racist as hell) had a great “can you fucking believe this” tone to his voice. The section about JT Leroy was particularly hilarious.

Currently reading Battles in the Desert by José Emiliano Pacheco. Just finished The Final Girl Support Group by Grady Hendrix, which I bought the second it was available. I thought it was funny that he named his version of the Scream franchise Stab, because Stab is the name of the book/movie in Scream 2 that are about…

Oh, so Leto/Joker’s not in it? I might actually watch it, then.

Eliminating student and medical debt through hacking purge.

During their fight, Cliff throws Lee into a car, humiliating him in defeat.
