Chaos makes a compelling case but I think the reality is if the feds were getting Manson's parole officer to go easy on him it was a general "he'll probably make the hippies look bad" non-plan rather than anything specific, organized or conspiratorial.
Well done on being ahead of the curve. I never paid her much mind till last year when the phrase Roisin Terfy sprang to mind. Ahead of Beyond The Pale.
For World Book Day this year, I've dressed up as a woman character written by a man.
My thin blouse can't hide my pert nipples as my dainty, yet proud breasts stick out as if to greet each newcomer.
Do the rest disbelieve it or just unconcerned.
But I want to know is it lucky of they newt in the eaves of a shed attached to the house.
WAR CRIMES DON'T HIDE SEX CRIMES!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!!
When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

Seems like a good moment to re-up my primer on the endless empty promises that strategic airpower can win wars entirely from the air: acoup.blog/2022/10/21/c...
To be fair I'd really have to listen to it to dislike it in any real sense. But that ain't happening.
Vibes wise it's a different beast to Wicker Man but it actually ticks all the boxes plot and setting wise.
Also very much a nihilistic post Age of Aquarius 1970s film like the UK trinity.
So if you go for a big tent approach you Folk Horror it totally fits.
Likewise as long as we remember the map is not the territory. All genre groupings are artificial, arbitrary and contingent. It's not a bloody science just a guide of a possible way.
The key is vibes not plot specifics.
That's absolutely true. Though the fact that the FH "trinity" is so unalike does help. Just heard the Folk'n'hell podcast episode where they get outraged at Witchfinder General's inclusion. If the thing that defines your genre doesn't fit your genre then what even is your genre?
Is there anyone looking for some 90s dance mixes from the radio? Mainly from London?
Got about ten I want rid of.
Makes sense. And is the tool notably give better performance than a credit card with a notch snipped out?
Does it work? I tried to follow the suggested method when I got one last year and it still ripped in two.
As a kid I read the line quoted in a zine before I knew anything of it's source. And I didn't know it was a name. So fair enough I think.
NEW: A hobbyist has created Nearby Glasses, an app that warns you if someone close by is wearing smart glasses. 404 Media spoke to the creator who said he was inspired by our coverage that uncovers how men are wearing Meta's Ray-Bans to covertly film massage parlor workers.
Gonna start calling my social anxiety “folk horror.”
This week on the blog: Against the State! Another military theory primer, this time focused on groups that take on the state itself, both with violent and non-violent means.
Given the enormous disparity in force, how can they win? How have they won?

1970s paperback edition of ayn rand’s the fountainhead with a photograph of an attractive woman leaning back seductively on a drafting board
can you imagine how disappointed you’d be if you knew nothing about this book and only picked it up for this particular cover
I love how modern movies are just making up names that sound vaguely like creatures from folk horror or ancient ghosts.
I'm waiting for Hamdangler, Bobbythruppence and Ghostphlegm.

Is this the raw garage rock film from 1967 I've been waiting for?

Being a fan of Folk Horror means giving up entire evenings to films about a couple who live in a bog and spend two and a half hours being mildly perturbed by some moving branches.
It's time I learned – there's only one Wicker Man.
Took the fourth. Third was gone already.

So if I know something is totally formulaic it's less an issue. Which may be unfair to the kaiju films.
Now to stop distracting myself and to actually update the work business plan......
My hardline anti spoiler stance is not just some form of OCD but because I love when cinema surprises me. Especially genre shifts, e.g. wish I'd seen Kill List as a simple thriller instead of knowing the folk horror turn is coming.
This change of film review focus is great for me as I don't care about spoilers on these so much. Which is not to say I don't have affection for them. But I do have a bunch of your reviews pending views. Missed last cinema showing of Bugonia on Sunday because of Frank'sApa deadline.
A pair of St. Brigid's crosses on a countertop, next to a mug. #SpéirGorm #SpéirGhorm #Ireland
For the uninitiated, these are Irish Throwing Stars, an ancient weapon wielded by St. Brigid during the 1916 Rising, striking fear into the hearts of the British, and responsible for the eventual smiting of both Cromwell and Thatcher.
