The Absolute Hell of Watching a Movie at the Alamo Drafthouse in 2026 Once America's most promising movie theater chain, the Alamo Drafthouse has become a QR-coded symbol of corporate enshittification.

Once America's most promising movie theater chain, the Alamo Drafthouse has become a QR-coded symbol of corporate enshittification.

Holy shit!! @shudder.com becomes the home of TALES FROM THE CRYPT. Streaming once again after a 30 year hiatus! And nearly one year before my book on the series drops in 2027! Best day ever.

The 28th Virginia battle flag is a Confederate battle flag that belonged to the 28th Virginia Infantry Regiment. Captured by the 1st Minnesota Infantry Regiment at the Battle of Gettysburg, the flag was brought to Minnesota and exhibited at the state's capitol for several years before passing into the permanent collection of the Minnesota Historical Society after 1896 where it has remained since.

Happy Confederate Surrender Day from Minnesota where we still have your goddamn flag and we’re not giving it up.
