if i lived in popeye town and one day i saw a ropy little sailor punch a huge guy so hard his skeleton flew out of his mouth thats the only thing i would talk about for the rest of my life

King: there's something else about this troll
King: it's constantly mumbling adorable gibberish
Barker: is it voiced by frank welker
King: who else?

Poe: it doesn't have to have tentacles to be cosmic horror, howard
Lovecraft: what are you talking about?
King: edgar's right, it's more about the insignificance of man in an unfeeling universe
Lovecraft: don't tell me about cosmic horror!
Lovecraft: i invented it!

4 Screenshots from the movie "The Fog" (1980): First, an older man in a sailor's cap sits by a campfire on a beach at night, telling a story to children seated around the fire; subtitle reads, "One hundred years ago, on the 21st of April...". Second, the same scene continues with the fire casting dramatic shadows on the storyteller’s face and subtitle reads, "out on the waters around Spivey Point...". Third, the fire burns brightly in the center as the man gestures while speaking; subtitle reads, "a small clipper ship drew toward land." Fourth, a close-up of the man’s face illuminated by the firelight as he stares intensely; subtitle reads, "Suddenly, out of the night, the fog rolled in."

Apr 21st 1880 - On this foggy night the Elizabeth Dane steered off course and crashed into rocks. 100 years later the crew returned.

📽️📅 The Fog (1980)

A grey tabby curled up, napping on a gray couch. A dark floral pillow is behind him.

Impossible to tell from this picture what a complete food goblin this guy is.

People use words like "sociopathic," which has literally not been a clinical diagnosis for like half a century, because they recoil from the idea that fascism merely needs apathy instead of a DSM diagnosis.

And, because they've absorbed nazi propaganda about whether mentally ill people are people.

Did finally grit my teeth and read “Mr. Arcularis,” though, with predictable results

j/k i would never do that to myself, i still have psychic damage from the first time

I know that I shall yeet with feet
Yon dipshit down the stairs below

Might re-read The Haunting of Hill House just to feel something

Damn, I’ve never seen that but maybe I should. That clip reminded me of 42nd Street (complimentary).

i really enjoy this. idk why but he’s giving me vintage advertisement vibes.

i can’t believe i missed the anniversary of yeats shoving aleister crowley in a locker

i hate myself for trying to tap and enlarge that

i’ve been away for a few hours, what did their lazy-ass vibe coding break this time

Rectum? Damn near killed ‘im

If you look closely, there is a little hand holding Brak’s hand.

There was a little girl close by when we were all posing that was crying for whatever reason. I stooped down to cheer her up.

They made her hide behind me to take the picture, but I said she could still hold his hand if she wanted.

What the FUCK do you mean they would’ve been $1016 if I didn’t have vision insurance

Fucking luxury orbs

What the fuck do you mean my new glasses are going to be $491

When Maury acts wild I tell him he’s afflicted with poopies in his butt, but at least those actually belong there. Demons are a whole nother problem.

Okay, I've got three people who are falling over the edge of the cliff right now.

They all need serious help, and they need it today.

First is Jesse, a hospice patient whose cell phone is his link to the outside world. He needs $50 to keep it on:

Venmo: @gilmourjesse

Oh my god, I didn’t even see that shit and now I’m mad too

See a bat? Just don’t touch it!!! And also call a bat rehabber because if you see a grounded or low-roosting bat, it probably needs help!!! Just don’t touch it and you’ll be fine, Stephen!

(“Stephen” is my go-to generic name for rants.)

THANK YOU

Is that why you followed me initially? Because you saw one of my searing rants about people vilifying bats?

I wouldn’t mind getting to see City Lights and Modern Times again for the first time. What intense emotional experiences those were.

What a beauty!

Glad you’re able to keep going. I take a Tylenol before doing housework or a Pokemon Go meetup, I feel you.

I’ve had the same editor since 1967. Many times he has said to me over the years or asked me, Why would you use a semicolon instead of a colon? And many times over the years I have said to him things like: I will never speak to you again. Forever. Goodbye. That is it. Thank you very much. And I leave. Then I read the piece and I think of his suggestions. I send him a telegram that says, OK, so you’re right. So what? Don’t ever mention this to me again. If you do, I will never speak to you again

Maya Angelou on the joys of being edited

Do they wind up getting blackout drunk like I’ve seen pictures of? Just passed-out waxwings all over the ground?

I appear to still be here. You are permitted to enjoy Maury regardless.
