A remarkable neon tone poem on sadness.

Somehow, after the first Terrifier was at best fine and at worst politically gross, this movie rules. Gone is the gender stupidity, in is the whimsy, the dreams, the characters you care about. In short, it's a real movie. And gross, but in a good way.

This is a pretty rote slasher, without much of the whimsy and humor Art the Clown would later grow. It's also incredibly misogenistic and transphobic, thanks to a few of the more elaborate kills near the end. Really inessential.

New proposal for a Turing test to detect tech bros: have a text only conversation for five minutes. If mentions of being in a simulation > 0, tech bro detected.

This sucked, and I understand how these movies got a reputation for misogyny now. Glad Damien got better. A few good scenes but mostly pretty lame.

One time, the seventies threw up a TV show.

Yep, I cried.

I got this political ad texted to me: “AMISH for Trump”. Who do I tell that they’re barking up the wrong tree, twice? 🇺🇸

Sometimes, the MTA is fun. 🚇

If you don’t vote, apologize to democracy, you putz. 🇺🇸

I used Letterboxd besties to find everyone with my same listed favorite movies. No one had the exact same, four or any of the same three. 🍿🦄

Had a great time at #smashingconf. Thanks to all the speakers and organizers and staff. Everyone was very kind and approachable and I learned a lot.

TIL the word “Tesselate”, which is a repeating pattern, like a honeycomb. ⬣

So fun

Artistic storytelling websites are alive and well on the internet. I’m late to the party, but this is incredible. The less said the better. Takes about an hour to read.

There’s a billboard on the NJ Turnpike reading, “Reasons to take the train? There’s a lot” Strange for a PR campaign ad to leave their message as an exorcise for the reader.

I beat the Mario RPG remake while cat sitting this past week. Lots of nostalgia for this one, and the updated graphics and sound were a fun way to reexperience it. 🕹️

I’ve been cat sitting Rocco this week. Here’s how it’s going. 🐈‍⬛

Got some doodling in today.

TIL background-blend-mode and a background-image is the only way to do a mix blend mode on an image. You can’t do that with an absolutely-positioned <img> tag.
