You’re the coolest, Grandma B!

Ohh shit, I know this one. My dad had it on tape and I watched it a few times back in the day. This IS some good mindfuck.

Ooh, I really like the old-school animation throwbacks I’m seeing in pictures for The Congress. And it kinda sounds like a Black Mirror episode. Definitely going on the list.

Oh, I’ve heard of this one, but I never got around to it. Sounds like the perfect time to cross it off my list.

I watched 28 Days Later during a delirious fever spell, so I think I understand where you’re coming from, lol.

I’ll give you a winter prediction: it’s gonna be cold, it’s gonna be gray, and it’s gonna last you for the rest of your life!

One of the chairs doubles as a table for the chicken sandwiches.

Also holy fuck, that was only 2016? I was thinking like 2009 off the top of my head.

Disagree, green boobs are awesome.

The tweaker giving a toothless beej for $5 a pop behind the Circle K is better at business than Sam Altman, and a better service to their community to boot.

The proper terminology is “Keter-class containment breach”.

If this is widely adopted, I have enough emulators and classic PC games to never buy another game in my life and still be entertained the whole time. Good luck, corpo dipshits.

My ideal “non-book library” would be a public woodshop with a Ron Swanson librarian figure to help people use the tools safely.

Woodworking seems so satisfying as both an art and a craft, but between the cost of materials, tools, and the space needed, I could never take up the hobby in the foreseeable future. But if I could go to a public workshop and use shared tools, just providing my own raw materials, the barrier to entry falls dramatically.

Two men walk into a bar. You’d think the second guy would’ve seen it coming.

You might also like Auditory Anthology then. Their original stories are sometimes a little hit or miss for me, but one neat thing they do is they rebroadcast old episodes of a 50s radio show called X Minus One between their own stories. Often ones that they used as inspiration for a modern rewrite in an earlier episode.

Perhaps we can break this stalemate with some fine snake meat instead?

I tend to go for story-telling podcasts, and within those I gravitate towards Twilight Zone/Outer Limits/Black Mirror style weird anthologies.

Right now I’m finding a lot of great stuff in:

• The Other Stories (all kinds of stuff, they have a different theme every month or so)
• The Wrong Station (similar, but less likely to stick to a theme for a while)
• Gray Matter (lots of modern adaptations of older horror/sci-fi, like Lovecraft)
• The Antiquarium of Sinister Happenings (higher ratio of dumb stuff, but still some gems)
• The Program (Black Mirror-esque)
• The Truth (various radio plays. Many aren’t sci-fi, but still weird in some way. Kind of reminds me of the bits of Inside No. 9 I’ve seen.)

I was about to hazard a guess that it hearkens back to Ray Harryhausen, but I rewatched the skeleton fight from Jason and the Argonauts, and I’m astounded that they apparently didn’t do it there.
