Christine McConnell's whole renovation style is indefatigably fun and nice while also requiring an astronomical amount of work and skill. The woman is performing geometries and making warlock shapes so she can put her homemade Victorian plaster mouldings on her ceilings while the rest of us are looking at PVC crowns like assholes.
Soren Narnia’s Knifepoint Horror is doing what you see in Ligotti’s “Bungalow House” — I started enjoying his work more when I stopped thinking “do something scary” and started thinking of the stories as dream monologues. It’s not going to work for everyone, but if you want strong ambiance and a story that grips you even if it doesn’t have a particularly satisfying ending, bob’s your uncle.

I love young Emma Thompson, she had just the slightest insinuation of Brick that they don’t let actresses get away with these days
I too love young Emma Thompson but I do not know what insinuations of Brick entail.
The fandom for AMC’s The Terror is pretty large and full of people with radically different responses to the show, book, and history so it’s recommended to form a small group of likeminded mutuals to experience fandom with. A terror cell, if you will.

You're missing out on Drakes career going up in flames.Look up Kendrick Lamarrs new diss track on Drake and you will never look at him the same again
are you saying that prodigy and arguably the greatest lyricist alive Kendrick Lamar of To Pimp A Butterfly fame was able to publicly humiliate pop rapper and child predator Drake? im shocked.
alright actually i was dismissing this because i dont really keep up with celebrity beef so most of it goes over my head but after listening kendrick did just release the most scathing diss track in rap history (not an exaggeration, i am speaking entirely non-hyperbolically when i say this).
and, to be clear since kendrick has released several diss tracks in a row over the course of the past few days, i am referring to Meet the Grahams, a song not directed at drake, but is instead Kendrick speaking slowly, softly, and sadly towards Drake's family members over a somber piano about how him being a terrible person has fucked up their lives while also revealing some incredibly direct and personal sexual misconduct allegations in the portion addressed to his mother, Sandra.
this is, like, historically important to rap music and it's kind of astonishing.
update:
i think it's important to recognize Meet the Grahams not as a piece of a dunking campaign, but as a sincerely heartbreaking and terrifyingly stark glimpse into the life of someone who has had predatory, vile behaviors enabled and had enough power to ignore anyone trying to get to him. i don't know that i'm capable of putting it into words, but this one feels a bit too important and sincere to treat as a "drake's funeral" anthem, even in an ironic tone.
that is reserved for the OTHER diss track that he released in the SAME DAY which has a much bouncier and "point and laugh" tone, which will have you going "OOOOOOOOOH MY GOOOOOOOOOD" in the first 90 seconds, regardless of whether or not you know anything about the beef.
that's this one:
okay FINAL thing i'll say on this:
i think it's extraordinarily impressive how sophisticated Kendrick's execution of this PITCH PERFECT social execution has been, and i don't even think it's over. to quote youtuber Scru Face Jean here, "[Kendrick is] making it too culturally cool to not like Drake right now," and like. i guess all this is to say, i think it's important to emphasize how major this accomplishment is on a, like, societal level.
to put it into perspective, i saw somebody comment "the beef has finally breached containment" in the tags, and i think that an excellent visual metaphor for what Kendrick's done is, very simply, ripples in the water. to emphasize his point, using his long experience in battle rap and his generational mind for putting societal issues into art (they're going to be talking about him for decades after he's dead, he's that kind of important), he crafted a split multimedia diss LP with such precision that it's created an explosion across mainstreams of media.
he reached into the brain of the zeitgeist and rewrote Drake's public image into exactly what he wanted it to be. even if it's all game (im pretty sure it's definitely not, but if it is) it's GOOD FUCKING GAME.
alright drake lets hear your next song bud :)
In Who Framed Roger Rabbit! cartoons are depicted as being professional people working within human Hollywood despite not being human themselves. Setting aside the more obvious question of what toons do if they're not in showbiz or Hollywood (although it's possible that there are none and, horrifyingly, the toons in the film themselves are aware that they only exist and seem to have independent lives because they are part of the film Who Framed Roger Rabbit!), I want to go in a Cats Don't Dance direction and speculate about the kinds of performances toons put on that are not specifically for humans. Performances that are by toons, for toons, with a toon-centric sense of aesthetics and narrative.
My instinct is to go very body-horror with it — stage shows that dwell on the physical feats toons are capable of, without immediately reverting to on-model design for the sake of human comfort — but I can just as easily see really, really weird existential plays and novels being a major art form. How would a toon write Steppenwolf*? What kind of toon would read toon!Steppenwolf? What kind of toons would put on an immersive theater recreation of toon!Steppenwolf, and what kind of toons would attend? What kinds of humans would read and attend? What would the criticism scene be like?
On the other hand maybe toons find that kind of thing dull. Maybe their experience of life is such that they find subjects like material chemistry fascinating — presumably something that has reasonably hard and fast rules and reproducible results would be more alien to them than it is to most humans.
Dredge is good but in my administration we will no longer invest in Lovecraftian or eldritch horrors brought about by the power of maddened human grief. Instead we will be returning to our roots; horrors from the deeps will be revealed thanks to mindless accident, sick fascination, raw curiosity — either extreme, of dusty intellectualism or witless, giggling puerility, permissible — and ideally, interbreeding.
I played Dredge and completed the pro-social ending. Now it’s time to see if I can turn all these people into fish monsters.
people who see buff women and only think abt them inflicting violence on them are stupid. her muscles are so sore from working out so much you have to massage them for her
