Among the greatest promotional photos of all time are these for the 1990 television movie of IT, where it looks like a prestige legal drama about a firm of hot young lawyers and one associate who likes to dress up like a clown.

If Waluigi is evil Luigi, then “Wa” is a morpheme denoting evil, which means Wario is the evil twin of someone named Rio, not Mario. If Wario is evil Mario, then an inverted first letter denotes evil. Waluigi is the evil twin of someone named Maluigi. Luigi’s evil twin is 7uigi.

The whole fucking point of writing the bad first draft is to get the raw materials of what you're trying to say on the page, so you can then organize and shape them to better fit your vision in the next draft. AI has no vision or POV, so you'd be starting even further from zero.

The Horror community is meant to be a safe place where we explore and digest our fears, not add to them. My heart is hurting for those who felt like they had to speak out today, and for those who were/are too uncomfortable to do so. A pattern is a pattern and it's unacceptable.

I woke up yesterday morning, looked out my window and saw the neighbors had hung this flag on their children’s playground. Pull up a seat, and join me, friends, for The Chronicles of Being Black in a Rich, White suburb A thread 💀

Steven Weber never gets his due propers for his performance in THE SHINING TV mini. He's absolutely fantastic. Between this & his narration of the IT audiobook, he'll forever be in the King Adaptation Actor Hall of Fame in my heart (a very real location; my doctors are concerned)

Growing up as a horror-obsessed reader in the 80s and 90s, my Mount Rushmore was basically @StephenKing , Peter Straub, Clive Barker, and @ramseycampbell1 . To have a blurb from Ramsey is an honor I'm still trying to fathom. When my editor sent this to me, I almost fell down.

Somewhere in the middle of the country, some folks are rehearsing ANTIGONE during the day before their nightly performance of TWO GENTLEMEN OF VERONA, for a few hundred bucks a week and reviews from the two local papers who always say generically nice things.

Not to mention the fact that Republicans are willing to burn the country down in service to their cult of personality slavishly devoted to a ... *literal* coastal elite who worked in Hollywood, lived in a golden tower in Manhattan, and now hides away in a private Florida resort.

I keep seeing journalists and columnists seemingly unable to avoid repeating the Democrats-are-coastal-elites whereas Trumpists-are-Middle-Americans trope. But maybe also mention this fact? In 2022 Biden won voters under $100k ~ 56%-43%. Trump won voters over $100k ~ 54%-43%.

I honestly just blew my own mind a little, realizing that NESTLINGS has only been out for like 4 months. Feels like it’s always been here. Anyway, if you haven’t picked up a copy yet, it’s DEFINITELY not too late! (n.b.: it’s never too late.)

I'll occasionally see reviews of NESTLINGS that say it had potential but is just too political and angry and honestly? That's 100% my bad. Next time I write about the emotional alienation of antisemitism, I'll try to be a little more chill & bothsidesy about it.

I used to work at New Line. I have entire binders full of DVDs I got from that job, as well as stationary & shirts & all kinds of bric-a-brac with that logo. You'd think I'd cease having any *1* movie associated with it. And yet, every time I see it? TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURLES

I mean, I guess it’s kinda funny to whine about how this election might come down to Senile Biden versus Senile Trump, but just a reminder that only one of those senile men would put Stephen Miller in charge of immigration policy. There is a severe fucking difference.

I'm not saying it's a bad album, I'm just saying I'm disappointed it's not 31 tracks of explicit, graphic depictions of torturing famous poets.

Yesterday, 12/8/19, at 11:59pm, I completed and delivered a 549 page, 157k word draft of a novel I have literally been writing in one form or another since I was a preteen. The author is resting and in good health but we assume the editor is now in critical condition.

I can’t claim credit for the idea, but it came up in conversation last night that the 40th anniversary of Barker's BOOKS OF BLOOD is this/next year and it’s the PERFECT opportunity for @BerkleyPub to reissue them, maybe with new covers and guest essays. I want that sooo bad now!

. @joerogan saying “the idea that Jewish people are not into money is ridiculous. That’s like saying Italians aren’t into pizza” would make sense if Jews invented money and/or Italians had been massacred because of a conspiracy that they control the world through pizza.
