CobraTwit himself is denying that he’s got the Walter Whities and posting photos of his body. Cutting it a little bit thick, methinks. It’s due time that this Cobra met his Mongoose.

Right on the head, easier for him to flee under the guise of health complications than it is to dig away at an escape hole with a spoon.

easier for him to feign innocence then it is to magically get lung cancer. every news revolving tate and his overall well-being will be under heavy scrutiny and fact checked.

collaborators are gonna have a field day trying to get him out.

For clarity sake Scholastic is going back and altering the books, R.L Stein hasn’t taken part in any revisions.

Watch as Scholastic comes out with Goosebumps Classic a fortnight later.

They’ve already released a classics line. It seems like subsequent prints following this will have slightly altered text depending on the books.

Some of the changes I question, but oh well it’s not like it’s gonna be hard to get “uncensored” versions of these stories.

That is what I was hinting at, Penguin re-released unaltered versions of Dahl’s books as “Classics” because the whole thing was a fucking ad campaign that people fell for.

Also I hate myself for not making some sort of ghostwriter joke as well.

Lmao the Ghostwriters mainly did the spin-offs like the chose your own adventure books. While people gave very basic outlines for the main books. Stine wrote the stories. Stine is notorious for having a Title before a book exists.

Lucky bastard, I suck at titles. But what Stine does isn’t uncommon for a lot of horror writers especially ones with high output, you work backwards from some evocative title or catchy narrative hook. Perfect for high output you you are not going to be the Great American Novelist

That and ghostwriters of course but there is nothing wrong with that so long as you can admit to using them some point down the line.

It’s impressive, but it’s also what caused the very undoing of Goosebumps in the late 90’s cause Stine “allegedly” according to Scholastic being in breach of contract for “Ghost Writers” when he was suppose to be the only one to write books in the main series, but they deemed the outlines as a big no no in their eyes. The situation quite literally got Tim Burtons movie cancelled and the TV Show cancelled aswell despite low ratings cause of fatigue.

There’s a history of cancelled books that only got as far as the titles with very few having actually art done, some were canceled cause of legal battles, some got repurposed later down the line in other series or Goosebumps Spin-off series.

What’s next, an edited version of Animorphs? (I’ll kill them)

I guess Trump supporters were right about strong leadership - their man makes a sturdy footrest for Putin.

Good news: both houses of our legislature have now passed the LBGTQ+ protections from last week and they’ve formally repealed the 1931 abortion ban that’s been dangling over our head since Roe was overturned last year.

Bad news: Iowa lawmakers are hopping on the anti-trans hate-wagon.

Remember when Right Wingers would parrot the phrase “Facts don’t care about your feelings”?

The great and present danger of “informing the public through documenting reality”.

Because then they could have pesky idea like “having opinion”, or worst “political ideas”, or even “remembering the duty of information in a healthy democracy”.


I remember being told of the importance of the US “The Day After”, and the UK “Threads” in the context of the cold war.
How far we fall.
