I know of one gifted crackpot who used to be employed gainfully in the fields of humor and satire, who has taken a solemn pledge not to write anything funny or lighthearted or “insignificant” again till things get straightened around in the world. This seems to me distinctly deleterious and a little silly. A literature composed of nothing but liberty-loving thoughts is little better than the propaganda which it seeks to defeat.
E. B. White (1899-1985) American author, critic, humorist [Elwyn Brooks White]
Essay (1939-01), “One Man’s Meat,” Harper’s Magazine, Vol. 178More about this quote: wist.info/white-eb/85184/

Truly, I live in dark times!
The guileless word is folly. A smooth forehead
Suggests insensitivity. The man who laughs
Has simply not yet had
The terrible news.
–
What kind of times are they, when
A talk about trees is almost a crime
Because it implies silence about so many horrors?
That man there calmly crossing the street
Is already perhaps beyond the reach of his friends
Who are in need?
[Wirklich, ich lebe in finsteren Zeiten!
Das arglose Wort ist töricht. Eine glatte Stirn
Deutet auf Unempfindlichkeit hin. Der Lachende
Hat die furchtbare Nachricht
Nur noch nicht empfangen.
–
Was sind das für Zeiten, wo
Ein Gespräch über Bäume fast ein Verbrechen ist
Weil es ein Schweigen über so viele Untaten einschließt!
Der dort ruhig über die Straße geht
Ist wohl nicht mehr erreichbar für seine Freunde

A quotation from Douglas Adams
MARVIN: The first ten million years were the worst. And the second ten million, they were the worst too. The third ten million I didn’t enjoy at all. After that I went into a bit of a decline.

Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Phase 1, “Fit the 5th” (BBC Radio) (1978-04-05)More about this quote: wist.info/adams-douglas/35056/

GLOUCESTER: We have seen the best of our time. Machinations, hollowness, treachery, and all ruinous disorders follow us disquietly to our graves.

I guess tonight's the last night for #HorrorDisasters for #MyHorrorfest202526 with the last thing I feel like watching on demand Hell hole 2024 👍. I was looking for movies for next month's marathon when I came across it & I haven't seen it before so I'm watching it as a #FrackingDisasterFilm but it's definitely a #Creaturefeature so I got 77 movies in for this month's marathon. #BadTimes

Tonight's #HorrorDisasters for #MyHorrorfest202526 I'm finishing off the last 2 I have in the collection so I can spend the rest of the month watching the last of the on demand stuff. I just picked up a copy of Knock at the cabin 2023 this summer after finding it in the cheap bin & Twisters 2024. #BadTimes #BadDays #EndoftheWorldFilms #BadWeatherMovies #NaturalDisasters #WeatherDisasters #TwisterFilms

Tonight's #HorrorDisasters for #MyHorrorfest202526 I have Geostorm 2017, Eruption LA 2018 & on demand I watched Assassination Nation 2018. #MadeMadeDisasters #SpaceDisasters #BadWeather #BadWeatherMovies #WeatherDisasters #NaturalDisasters #VolcanoMovies #BadTimes

Tonight's #HorrorDisasters for #MyHorrorfest202526 I did something I rarely do I rented the Wave 2015 cuz this movie is so worth it & I don't ever expect to be as lucky as I was to come across like I did with the Quake 2018 in the 2nd hand store, that was a nice find! It's worth the $5 so I can watch the 2 of them together & I don't even mind that they're not even in english cuz they have english subtitles & the action & story are awesome! Though I'm grateful not to have kids to worry about during a damn disaster cuz those shits never listen & are always in the wrong place at the wrong time but that's the theme for most disaster movies! #BadDays #BadTimes #NaturalDisasters #Avalanche #Tsunami #WaterDisasters #EarthquakeFilms

Tonight's #HorrorDisasters for #MyHorrorfest202526 I have the Hateful eight 2015 (no one had a good day here), No escape 2015 (moving your family halfway across the world for a new job is not always the smart move) & tis the season Krampus 2015. No one warned me about this version of Santa growing up! #BadTimes #BadDays #TravelDisasters #NewJobNightmares #HolidayDisasters #ChristmasDisasters

Today's #HorrorDisasters for #MyHorrorfest202526 I watched a fav I found a few years ago & I was planning to watch it in July when I was doing my #CreatureFeatures but it wasn't streaming then so I tossed it in this month's lineup now that it's streaming again. I have only found the Sand 2015 on Tubi but it's worth watching. The last 2 I have 2012 2009 & Contagion 2011. #BadTimes #BadDays #NaturalDisasters #BadWeather #WeatherDisasters #VolcanoDisasters #EarthquakeFilms #EndoftheWorldFilms #ViralDisasters

Today's #HorrorDisasters for #MyHorrorfest202526 I have the Hills have eyes 2006 & the Hills have eyes 2 2007 & on Tubi I found Backwoods 2008, a movie I used to have but it didn't come with captions so it's no longer in my collection. I didn't plan it but all 3 movies deal with the premise that the men are dead meat & the women for breeding. #BadTrips #BadTimes #TravelDisasters #CampingDisasters #DisastrousFamilies

-
Today's #HorrorDisasters for #MyHorrorfest202526 were all new to me movies I found, on Tubi I watched Virus 1980 (which could have been better if I could have had captions & subtitles cuz it was a Japanese movie that was partly in english but I would watch again if it had captions) then on demand I finally broke down & watched Cannibal holocaust 1980 (that was hard to watch & not just because of the violence) & Cannibal Feroz 1981 (this 1 had me thinking if I had to eat meat raw I would definitely be a vegetarian!) #ViralDisasters #NucularDisasters #BadTimes #BadTrips #TravelDisasters #ManMadeDisasters

December is dedicated to #HorrorDisasters for #MyHorrorfest202526 cuz I can't do happy Christmas movies this month! Tonight I have the Poseidon adventure, the 1972 & 2005 versions though I'm watching the 2005 version on Tubi because my copy doesn't come with captions. I dumped most of my movies in the collection that don't come with captions but I kept a handful of movies just in case I can't find them streaming cuz they're favs. #BadTimes #BadTrips #TravelDisasters #SinkingShips

What are some annoyances or issues in video games that you're glad are gone?
For me, I'm glad that online passes were abandoned. An online pass was a code you'd get with a game that usually locked away multiplayer or sometimes items & missions untill you entered the code & downloaded the DLC. These codes were given to you when you got a game new, but if you got a game used & the code in the box was claimed, you'd have to pay $10 to unlock the same content.
