I just started Cape Fear and I need someone to tell me whether it: 1) thinks it is good and prestige but is actually bad and dumb 2) is purposely bad and silly and isn't trying to be good and prestige One of these I can tolerate and the other one I can't.

Oh no am I finally going to read Moby Dick

I haven't updated on this in a while. I am basically ok now? I have occasional faint stomach pain but much less than before. Never figured out exactly what it was--no ulcer, possibly gallstones, motility is fine. But I'm now taking a pill that makes me sleepy almost all the time.

This is AMAZING news. Apple is a good home for it. Already an episodic series by nature, depending on how you break it up you could get several excellent seasons. The lucky production designer who gets to take this on!!

The fact that "email," "infographic," and "outsource" were born the same year as me makes me sound much younger than I am.

On the one hand I'm totally opposed to books written with AI. On the other hand, how the hell is an author supposed to prove they didn't use AI? AI detectors cannot be used to police writing, since they are also AI and do not work! This is bad!

Discord invites went out to paid subscribers tonight! Still plenty of time to join in.

It's just rude that Shudder and AMC+ are two separate platforms and that they don't just put all the horror stuff on Shudder. I should not have to subscribe to AMC+ to watch The Vampire Lestat! It doesn't make sense!

Who cares about Emily Wilson and JCO? We fight on @darkertimes.bsky.social all the time and none of us have been cancelled for it yet.

I am finally home after a much-too-long journey with unanticipated obstacles and I can't even make an Odyssey joke because I've seen what y'all have done over the last few weeks.

My experience in so much of the witch as symbol tracks back to my own very religious upbringing. She is ugly, withered, evil according to the righteous. But now I see her as a symbol of autonomy and rebellion. So much to dive into!

This is the second time I've had a flight cancelled thanks in part to one of these! My luck!!

I had my fallopian tubes removed for other reasons but it was a very fast and simple outpatient procedure!! This is great news!

Every time there's another delay I get 4 notifications, spread out over ten minutes or so. Great system, love it.

Remember when we all passed this book around Twitter in 2015? It was such a fun time and this book was such a word of mouth powerhouse. Join us for our subscriber book club! If you've read it once I promise it'll be a fun reread.

I knew that the sound design in this movie was great, but putting this piece together helped me realize that this really is a film that started with the sound and the rest followed from there. It's impressive work! I recommend watching it on your noise cancelling headphones in the dark at 3am.

I'm digging into the details of the way UNDERTONE uses sound design as its primary source of mood and scares. I even have time stamps so you can watch along with a few scenes! This is part of our subscriber drive, please consider supporting worker owned media! www.darkertimes.com/undertone-an...

Everyone was being so loud about Emily Wilson that I nearly missed this! Love to my fellow worker owned media haters at Aftermath!

This website and this subscriber drive is A Lot of Work and also I feel really lucky to do it with all these people and everyone who is chipping in to support us like Clay.

Thrilled to have @claymcleod.bsky.social on @darkertimes.bsky.social today! It's all about the first person narrator, making the reader complicit. As a huge audiobook reader, I have a huge weakness for first person. Yes please seduce me into a story! www.darkertimes.com/punching-hol...
