Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads:

The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.

And our governments are very much the same...

- Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

Replying to @chunlifuu My two cents as a Black woman with Tourette Syndrome. We need to be looking at who on the BAFTA team okayed that moment to be aired when they had the ability to edit that out. ... TikTok video by JhΓ³nelle Bean

Regarding the BAFTA Awards: the public needs more education on Tourette’s / disability and this video is important to watch. The producers knew exactly what they were doing by allowing that audio to air unedited.

Former ICE agent: My first day training new cadets, I received secretive orders to teach them to violate the Constitution by entering homes without a warrant. I watched ICE cut classes that teach our legal system, firearms training, use of force, lawful arrests, and the limits of officers' authority

And honestly, viewing it as a horror romance makes even more sense.

I’ve never read Wuthering Heights, but I’m obsessed with romances that dive into the dark corners of intimacy that most mainstream films won’t touch. I was locked in from the first frame and loved what Emerald Fennell had sewn together. This would be a great double feature with Pillion.

Abolish ICE is now the moderate minimum position,

Prosecute ICE is where Dems should be at next.

Any horror podcasts trying to invite Hudson Williams on? Because the man said he loves horror films and we need to hear his hot takes.

A shadowy figure - an ICE agent - lurks menacingly at someone off screen, as a hand holding a phone points to him, filming him. Above and behind him is a Nazi soldier in grey, being held at the point of a bayonet. It says in red text, "We Beat 'Em Once.. We'll Beat 'Em Again!"

The murder of Renee Good by ICE is an atrocity that must face justice. Thankfully, accurate and clear video footage shows that this was a cold-blooded murder. This iteration of the print pays homage to that.

I’m so pleased to read the praise surrounding Nia DaCosta’s 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple. I just know she’s bringing a fresh vision to a story that’s so inherently British (while still honouring that importance), and also as the first female director of the franchise.

Wes Craven’s #Scream academic conference alert πŸ”ͺ on 16 Dec 2026 at Bangor University UK. Deadline for is 1 Jun. Information attached. This looks like it will be a grand time. If the conference dinner isn’t a murder mystery featuring Ghostface, that’ll be a missed opportunity…

The PhD is the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life, but the stress melts away when I interview a child or teenager that’s so passionate about horror, with independence and confidence gained from creativity. Their minds are so wonderful. Protect youth’s access to arts in education at all costs!
