"The new housing is part of growing effort among the state’s Gateway Cities, smaller cities outside of Boston, to reinvent themselves and repurpose industrial buildings that had long been in disrepair."

Two lines of three dimensional sans-serif letters colored in gradients of blue and purple reading ‘Maybe it will/Happen today’. Above the ‘y’ in’ today’ and with its bottom point nestled neatly into the fork of the letter it’s a similarly dimensional golden pentagram with little flares of golden light glinting off its vertices. The entire lockup is superimposed over a glittering rainbow as it all streaks together through a black void.
Typical Black Metal experience. Learn about a new band's debut. Pretty good stuff. Scroll down to see a comp to Mgła. Go looking to see if they might be fash, can't find a thing, though in the process found a new, explicitly anti-fash BM band from Barcelona that sings in Catalan. Okay. Let's go!

The front cover of Pixerina: A Haunting features a ghostly figure looming over an old house.

Me, reading morning news every fucking fucking fucking fucking goddamned shitass monkey-tit-twisted morning.

Second parts seems all right.
you ever want to find some soft moss in the woods and lay there until the wasps start building nests on you and then stay there, still, always still?
Screenshot of a tweet responding to another tweet. @SketchesbyBoze writes "In Fahrenheit 451, the abolition of reading began with tech companies simplifying books into summaries that you could read in five minutes. Because people no longer engaged with the texts, they forgot how to think.Then came the book-burnings." Quote tweeting a tweet by @AntonJaegermm "Very cool how every piece of digital technology is now purposively designed to breed illiteracy" Attached to that tweet is a document or image we can't see. instead we see a pop up that reads "This appears to be a long document. Save time by reading a summary.”
“This appears to be a long document. Save time by reading a summary.” HELL NO.
Jurisprudence fetishists get off on technicalities.
A friend told me this joke, btw. I did not write it.
Knock knock!

Cthul who?
Cthulhu fhtagn!
ActBlue donors can request refunds if they donated to Swalwell’s campaign.
Pass it on.
And no. Men do not send unsolicited dick pics because they think women like it. The opposite, as @jillfilipovic.bsky.social says.
The pleasure is in knowing she can't do anything. It's about reinforcing status: I can do this, and if you say anything, you will be punished.
be the cancer you wish to see in the world
lawsuits based on "I think those characters are just like my characters" are basically the opposite of the gold rush in that not that many ppl do it, I don't understand why anyone does, and nobody who goes there ever gets anything

FOOTNOTE: (Skeetnote?) I've sworn off writers for things they've done or do that harm others. Cormac McCarthy was my favorite author, but if he were alive now with a new book, knowing what came out shortly after his death, I wouldn't buy it. There are too many more to name given the character limit.
In the process of answering this question, I realized how many of my 100% ride or die writers have either died or quit/retired/moved on to other creative things. Jack Ketchum, Gillian Flynn, Jon Krakauer, Octavia Butler, Cormac McCarthy* (asterisk in the next skeet)...

hey @realfollowers.bsky.social
It’s infuriating when a woman comes forward about a man raping her in his hotel room after drinking and the response is “Why would she go to his room?” “Why would she drink with him?” This is Mike Pence logic. Women should be allowed to hang out with men without expecting they will be raped.
The most bad-ass rebuttal from Tite Kubo, the author of Bleach.
All it was giving me was an increasingly enshittified video streaming service (pay more for Prime+ to nix ads), a shopping habit driven by "lightning" discounts, and THE ONE THING I used it for more than all else, streaming music. I moved that to Deezer and ditched the Dot surveillance devices.
This is abhorrent.
This has been my exact experience. Cancelling Prime means I rarely think about Amazon as a first or even second source for anything I need, and my online impulse buys have withered to next to nothing. And best yet, nobody's dropping dead fulfilling my order for something I don't need! (next skeet)
Oh, so when drag queens and pop stars serve cunt, they're Mother. But when I, Hannibal Lecter,
