They use "social" in a general way just because they consider Xwitter, Fkbook, Incelgram and BrainroTic Toc, all there's.

For anyone curious to know how this story ended. Check the season 2 ep.8 of "Love, Death & Robots".

Home servers are a very valid solution to a whole new series of modern problems.

Timeshift has indeed saved my distro's ass a few times. But is not a silver bullet. In the end I keep most of my stuff on an external HD and in there a folder with some notes and data about my distro configuration. If he dies (and he did) I'll bring him back.

I don't think that any castrated cat would find that particularly fun. 🪓🐱🗡

Kim Bo-young relocates The Shadow Over Innsmouth to a quarantined Korean fishing village, and Sophie Bowman’s translation makes the dread rise like a tide.

Review - A Plagued Sea by Kim Bo-young: The Korean Lovecraft Retelling That Grieves

https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/240019934-a-plagued-sea

Kim Bo-young is one of Korea’s most important speculative writers, and A Plagued Sea is her first horror novella in English, translated by Sophie Bowman and published by Tor Nightfire on 11 August 2026. It reworks Lovecraft’s The Shadow Over Innsmouth, moving the story to Haewon, a Korean fishing village sealed off three years into a plague quarantine. Part cosmic horror, part pandemic elegy, it follows a grieving security officer enforcing an isolation she cannot escape as the villagers begin to change. This A Plagued Sea review looks at why a hundred-page Korean Lovecraft retelling hits harder than novels five times its length.

 

A contemporary reimagining of H.P. Lovecraft’s short story Herbert West: Reanimator is on the way, and Deadline has unveiled the first look at the new Herbert West and the pathologist drawn to his orbit.

The original screenplay and storyline come from Jade Sandberg Wallis.

Michael Grossman (“The Originals”, “Pretty Little Liars”) directs.

The new images introduce star Joseph Morgan (“Vampire Diaries“), who plays “brilliant surgeon and scientist Herbert West, who is obsessed with creating a serum to reanimate the dead.” Katie Cassidy (Speed Demon) stars opposite as the pathologist with a troubled past who joins his efforts.

Together, they prove that conquering death may be the ultimate sin against life itself. (...)

 

Theatre troupe La Fenice’s improvised drama creates new perspectives on eldritch terrors

The show at the Tavern is the latest in physical theatre experts La Fenice’s Speak No More series. These were inspired by the New York smash Sleep No More, which turned an entire building into a massive, wordless adaptation of Macbeth. “Seeing this immersive show that was performed silently,” Meehan said, “we went, ‘Oh, this is what we do.’”

The first production was a Shakespearean homage with improv troupe Golden at Hideout Studios, but this evolved into site-specific creations starting with murder-mystery Golden Age at the Neill-Cochran House. A cinematic influence insinuated itself with VVitch at the Haskell House and Contagion at Independence Brewery, which drew heavily on interstellar horrors like The Thing and Alien. However, Lovecraft diverges from those earlier iterations because their physical violence is replaced by internalized horrors. Speak No More veteran cast member Tatiana Jitkoff said, “It’s much less murdery and much more about madness.” (...)

Datlow notes in her introduction that these stories more about cosmic dread than the trappings of Lovecraft mythos, which makes Lovecraft’s Brood very accessible if Lovecraft isn’t your thing.

In an exciting development for fans of British comedy, Radio 4 is set to air a new one-off special titled “The Call Of Cthudo,” which cleverly combines the classic board game Cluedo with the eerily imaginative universe of H.P. Lovecraft. This unique comedy-horror piece, crafted by James Henry, marks a reunion of sorts for members of the casts from beloved shows “Green Wing” and “Piglets,” bringing together familiar faces in a fresh context.

Scheduled to air in October, “The Call Of Cthudo” features a stellar lineup, with Mark Heap and Stephen Mangan taking on significant roles. Heap portrays Mister Violet, while Mangan steps into the shoes of Lord Black. The plot revolves around a group of color-themed strangers who find themselves trapped in a sprawling country house, faced with the challenge of solving a murder mystery. However, as the storyline unfolds, it becomes evident that the house—and the situation—are far stranger than any of them could possibly anticipate.
