Billionaire fascist-friendly techbros fantacize about AI because it can take them from paying low wages to no wages.

Stephen King’s “The Long Walk” extols the health benefits of walking… and walking… and walking… 🖤💙🎥😱 www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/st...

By day, I work as a collection archivist at Nga Taonga Sound and Vision. We preserve and cherish the stories, creativity, and history of Aotearoa NZ in sound and moving image. Over 800,000 treasures now online with more added everyday. It’s good mahi. 🎥🎶 www.ngataonga.org.nz/explore-stor...

If you feel the need to mock Taylor Swift and threaten Bruce Springsteen but you admire Vladimir Putin and have love letters stashed away from Kim Jong Un, we know what you’re all about.

We swore we'd travel side by side We'd help each other stay in stride But each lover's steps fall so differently I'll wait for you, and should I fall behind, wait for me - Bruce Springsteen #lovesongs #heartstogether #lastinglove youtu.be/RmUG1ffgKFw?...

Standing tall. Standing proud. Bruce Springsteen has more heart and compassion in his little pinky than the entire 🍊💩 regime. It's been said before: "Those aren't lyrics, that's literature." Bruuuuuuuce. Still The Boss. 🙌 💙🎶 🎸🗽 #brucespringsteen #resist #voiceoffreedom youtu.be/8yYz7ST5ByY?...

If you see this, quote the energy you bring to Bluesky. 💙😱🐈‍⬛🖤 #darkfiction #ghosts #supernatural #whatlurksintheshadows #horrorfan #horrorfiction

This horror novel is just days away from hitting my mailbox. I’ve heard so many good things about LaTanya McQueen’s “When The Reckoning Comes”. I can’t wait to read it! 💙📚😱 #horrorfiction #historicalhorror #womenhorrorwriters #horrorfan #darkfiction

A handful of Republicans are holding up Trump’s big beautiful budget of ‘Rob from the Poor to give to the Rich” because he’s not gutting Medicare far enough. They want a full ravaging. Blood on the bedsheets. Slasher politics. Charnel houses. Beggars at their feet who will get nothing.

A part of aging is seeing your world grow thin. Friends and loved ones disappear from view. The fog of memory reveals both love’s touch and the sorrow of loss. We live our past with each breath. youtu.be/GJM3-9SbgT4?... #katebush #loveandloss #aging #memories

Jerry Fielding & His Orchestra - Misirlou [US, Exotica] (1967) Brilliant cover of an absolute classic https://redd.it/2xuqzn https://youtu.be/5wD8lCKHILU

A week of the phlegm factory flu and a thousand rib-cracking coughs later, my coffee still tastes damn good. ☕🤎 #coffeelovers #coffeeislife #keepemcaffinated

It’s a new month. You know what that means… Your Favorite Author’s Favorite Author is BACK from @shortwavebooks.bsky.social & yours truly. This time I got to chat with @rachelharrison.bsky.social about her fave horror’s pickle-hating paragon @paultremblay.bsky.social

"You people 'struggling to survive' need to tighten your belts! There are no lefty lollies here for you." "And about your impending pay rises, Minister?" "See here - those are given to us by an independent body so we don't appear to be automatically gorging ourselves." #trickledown #payequity

Same solutions from Luxon and crew here in New Zealand. Terminations and austerity for the working class but the budget is ‘saved’! Bollocks.

10 horror movies to get to know me 🔪 😱🎥 1. The Shining 2. Doctor Sleep 3. The Thing 4. The Exorcist 5. The Last Man on Earth 6. The Haunting 7. The Legend of Hell House 8. Night, Dawn, Day, Land of the Dead 9. Re-Animator 10. The Evil Dead (originals and remakes)

I’m down with the sickness. If there was only something I could take to get me up and going again. Something to reanimate my ailing spirit. #hplovecraft #horrormovies #drwestreanimator #horrorfan #horrornovels 📚😱🖤🤢

I went to see my doctor. As I was leaving the clinic, the couple in front of me were coughing and spluttering. Two days later I had a nasty cold. Don't be like me. When visiting a place that treats sick people, wear a MASK. There's a lot of ugly stuff flying around this year. 🤢😷#maskup #coldseason

What we did to the earth, we did to our daughters one after the other. What we did to the trees, we did to our elders stacked in their wheelchairs by the lunchroom door.... -Marie Howe 💙📚✍️ #poetry #poemoftheday #motherearth #pollution www.poetryfoundation.org/poetrymagazi...

"Our reversal on Pay Equity legislation will take billions from tens of thousands of woefully underpaid working women who so desperately need and deserve a fair wage." There, I fixed it for ya, Mr. Luxon. (Feel free to use, Chippy.) #newzealand #backstabbers #payequity

I had blood work done yesterday and I’m one of those lucky buggahs that has hard-to-hit veins. Multiple attempts and the swapping out of techs. Ever tighter constriction and much stoicism on my part. My arm looks like carnage this morning but I was successfully bled. #smallhorrors #bloodislife ❤️💉🩸🩸🩸

I started the day with a few Mary Oliver poems. As a prose writer, I admire the word craft in poems and the precise painting of imagery. I hammer and chisel away at a mountain of words while the poet paints with a fine-tipped brush. #poetry 💙📚✍️https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poets/mary-oliver

"The Martian Chronicles" turns 75! In 1950, Ray Bradbury elevated the fantastical 'men from mars' pulp stories he grew up on into a work of thoughtful, theme-based literature. 💙📚🚀 #sciencefiction #scifi #raybradbury lithub.com/75-years-ago...
