Project 2025 ain't gonna roll out all at once. So what we're gonna wanna do is make passing each individual part of it as difficult as possible, so there's less to undo once we finally get this country back on the rails.

The profit driven US studio and talent changing the story away from the original anvilicious critique of US militarism and consumerism? What a surprise!

Look, folks, do yourself a favor: go pick up the original book. It is really, really good and Simon Stålenhag's art is incredible.

Sigh. Is nothing sacred.

Tales from the Loop was amazing but this is the kind of thing that I don't think lends itself to a film adaptation. Especially not with Crisp Rat, especially especially not one with Crisp Rat directed by the Russos. Tonal change from the book is inevitable I fear.

Time to feed unprofessional managers what they’ve been dishing out for far too long.

They wrote it, obviously.

Howdy Boss!

I saw a recent post about Weird Tales, and the Cth mythos. Which made me curious, have you ever heard of DART - Dark Adventure Radio Theatre? (https://store.hplhs.org/collections/dark-adventure-radio-theatre)

Its adaptions of a lot of the older works, done in the 30-50s style radio seriels, with adverts, voice casts, sound effects etc. Its been a lot of fun and an interesting throwback to older style

I hadn't heard of them, but I have now! :->

(Also noting, with interest, that -re spelling rather than the more usual US -er.)

Here's a trailer for one of them, "The Thing on the Doorstep".

TBH I'm not surprised to see it's a part of the H.P. Lovecraft Historial Society - they've made a couple of Cthulhu movies In Period Style which have been very well received.

Indeed, it was our friend Donal and his father who translated the title cards for the first one, a silent-era recreation of "The Call of Cthulhu", into Irish.

that article going around abt firefox's new ad program is annoying bc it's phrased as though "mozilla has finally TURNED on its people and is SELLING YOU OUT for cold hard cash!!" when. that's not what's happening. it is specifically being implemented to discourage tracking behavior, and literally all the data they are giving to advertisers is aggregate and anonymized, which is like, the opposite of what that post wants you to worry about, lol

Also, for those of you who vote by mail: Either drop your ballot off inside the post office or have a means of tracking it. We've had some shitheels drop torches in ballot drop-off boxes out west here.

I'm sure many people have already shared this here, but I think it's important that people here on Tumblr need to see this.

Oh hey. I learned a bit of magic at the jewelry store that I’ve forgotten to share, please pass the blessing along.

Have you ever had a knot or tangle in a metal chain? Especially the very fine ones, it can be impossible to work them out with your fingers.

My friends, all you need is a thumbtack. In a pinch, a toothpick, needle, or any fine thin stick will do. I have never been defeated by a knot with a thumbtack in hand.

You stick the pointy end into the trickiest part of the knot and slowly just work it in. The knot loosens around it, and I’ve used this metaphor for acupuncture too because it’s the same principle to me.

But anyway, I’ve untangled chains women brought in that have been stuck multiple hellish kinks and knots for decades. It never fails to astonish them, and honestly it’s fun. Very tricky knots can take longer but it always works.
