The great Blizzard of 2026– days ago this storm was sailing out to sea without harming anything but fish.. as the week drew to a close, we began to see we were about to continue our toxic relationship with the Winter of 2026..
This time red flashing lights of blizzard warnings are gracing New York City, the state of New Jersey, and parts of Pennsylvania.. warnings are pink .. people are miserable.
And as this storm begins to crank up and bomb out, the snowicane will feature 80 mile per hour gusts to create blizzard conditions..
If there was a storm of the century so far this may be it — enough to bring about the likes of Andre Linoge? That is yet to be seen. But born in sin, come on in..
For posterity.. here is the Blizzard Warning for New York City–something that is rare…
...BLIZZARD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 1 PM THIS AFTERNOON TO 6 PM EST MONDAY...
* WHAT...Blizzard conditions expected. Total snow accumulations between 16 and 24 inches. Winds gusting as high as 60 mph.
* WHERE...Portions of southern Connecticut and southeast New York.
* WHEN...From 1 PM this afternoon to 6 PM EST Monday.
* IMPACTS...Visibilities may drop below 1/4 mile due to falling and blowing snow. Whiteout conditions are expected and will make travel treacherous and potentially life-threatening. The strong winds and weight of snow on tree limbs may down power lines and could cause sporadic power outages. Travel could be very difficult to impossible. Areas of blowing snow could significantly reduce visibility. The hazardous conditions will impact the Monday morning and evening commutes.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Heaviest snow and strongest winds are expected tonight into Monday.
The real life Slenderman.. Maybe.. or a really tall pale hitchhiker? Either way you don’t pick them up..
British media is reporting about a real life ‘slenderman’ that was spotted along a highway.. Of course paranormal socials have picked it up and ran with it with their skinny legs..
Lauren Amour recorded the strange sighting on her dashcam as it loomed out of the darkness. Her post has now been shared around the world hundreds of thousands of times..
It happened in the early hours of Saturday on the A69 while Lauren was driving from Barnard Castle, County Durham to Newcastle upon Tyne, as reported by What’s The Jam.
Mel Gibson is consulting with excommunicated Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò — who has called the late Pope Francis “a servant of Satan” — for the “The Resurrection of the Christ,” his follow up to 2004’s “The Passion of the Christ” that is currently still shooting in Italy.
Viganò, who is the Vatican’s former ambassador to the United States, was excommunicated in 2024 for refusing to recognize Pope Francis’ authority and rejecting the Second Vatican Council that modernized the Roman Catholic Church. He has repeatedly referred to Francis as a liberal “servant of Satan” and a “false prophet” in public statements. Viganò is also known to be a big fan of U.S. President Donald Trump, a critic of gay rights and a supporter of anti-vaccine positions
So when they say that we’re cooked because of artificial intelligence… they’re right. We’re cooked.
For a long time people believed we were in a slow boil. But we’re not. The pot’s been on long enough that we haven’t even recognized the fact that maybe a lot of things we thought were here for good are gone forever.
Let’s talk Hollywood for a moment. Let’s talk one of our favorite movies: The Truman Show.
If you remember as fondly as I do, Truman Burbank was a prisoner of a corporation that monitored his every movement and televised his life to the world. The film was cutting edge and asked deep questions back in the late ’90s, questions that are still painfully relatable today.
For those who loved the movie like we did, we always wondered: what happened to Truman after he left his hell? After he opened the door and escaped through that blue sky patch?
Well, thanks to a TikTok account using artificial intelligence, we can now find out, at least according to this individual’s imagined continuation. Watching this AI-generated video of Truman Burbank finding freedom .. but at the same time finding a brand-new prison .. is deep on several levels.
You’ve been asking for this for 27 years… We used Seedance 2.0 to write and animate the FULL sequel to The Truman Show — the untold story of what happens after he walks through that final door. This isn’t just a fan edit. This is the full follow-up we all deserved. TTheTrumanShowS#Seedance2 AAIMovieAAIT#TrumanShowSequel
On one level, it’s cool. It’s almost like watching deleted scenes or an alternate ending that was never created. But on another level, despite the fact that the AI is still a bit devoid of emotional depth and vocal fluctuation, it’s about as close to a realistic scene as you can get.
This is what scares Hollywood and actors so much is the fact that anyone in their living room can now do this.
If they don’t like a movie, they can create a new one. If they didn’t like the ending, they can come up with a better one. We saw that happen after Stranger Things when people disliked Season 5 so much that they began creating elaborate alternate endings of how they wanted the show to wrap up. But back to Truman for a moment.
The precision here is breathtaking. We all knew the six fingers and warped faces of yesteryear were gone, but now we’re at a point where it’s almost indecipherable between reality and AI — and this video shows it. The voice inflections, even the monotone delivery, will get better over time. We’re still in the infancy of this.
And if this is infancy… what do the teenage and adult years look like? On another level — and we’re only half joking here — it’s interesting to wonder how much water was used to create this video. It takes a lot of energy and resources, and this one is pretty long. That probably means a whole lot of gallons went into bringing Truman back to life.
But take it a step further.
Whoever came up with the storyline deserves credit. We can absolutely envision that this is what Truman’s life might look like after he escaped. It feels almost inevitable that someone in his situation would remain a prisoner to society — people continuously watching him on their screens and convincing themselves his life is better than theirs, despite the fact that, as we can see, it’s not. So I recommend watching the video we posted here that links to the TikTok account. They used Seedance 2.0 to create what we’re seeing. It’s scary.
And we have some choices to make — not in the future, but right now. The choices are staring us directly in the face. Last week I read a Fortune article that talked about how, within 18 months, most white-collar jobs could be fully automatable — with people no longer needed in them.
That’s fine and dandy.
All the Super Bowl ads reminded us that we can go gambling, take Ozempic, and apparently never work again thanks to AI. But at some point — at some level — we have to ask ourselves: if we stop making money in jobs, how exactly are we going to pay for the AI that’s supposed to make our lives easier? Choices. Lots of choices.
And just like Truman, who made a choice to escape a world he believed was a prison — only to potentially enter another one — are we doing the same thing with artificial intelligence?
The UK Daily Mail is promoting an article about thr Schumann resonance. Spikes and alterations have been getting noticed for several months now .. People have claimed its having an effect on their personal situation along with the planet itself.
On Thursday, MeteoAgent reported that Earth’s Schumann resonance was still registering as high because of a moderate solar flare that had caused Earth’s magnetic field to become unsettled.
Scientists track these disturbances using an index that measures how much the planet’s magnetic field is being shaken by space weather.
The scale runs from zero to nine, with zero meaning calm conditions and anything above five indicating a geomagnetic storm that can disrupt satellites, power grids and radio signals…
Well, we’ve always wondered how disclosure would happen… and if it would happen. And now that some people think it might actually be happening, a strange thing is taking place — some of the loudest UFO believers suddenly don’t believe in it anymore.
Tonight, Donald Trump made what he called an announcement of epic, universal proportions. Here’s the quote:
“Based on the tremendous interest shown, I will be directing the Secretary of War, and other relevant Departments and Agencies, to begin the process of identifying and releasing Government files related to alien and extraterrestrial life, unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), and unidentified flying objects (UFOs)…” — President Donald J. Trump
So there you have it. We’ll see what kind of files actually get released… and whether this truly amounts to disclosure. If it’s anything like other high-profile document releases, we may end up with pages of blacked-out redactions and very little substance. But this isn’t the Epstein file situation — at least not directly. Of course, some are already saying this announcement is a distraction. That it’s meant to redirect attention away from other controversies. Others, meanwhile, have quietly hoped for years that Trump would be the president who finally oversaw alien disclosure.
And then it gets even stranger.
Trump also said that Barack Obama had already revealed classified information by suggesting aliens were real yet in the same breath, he admitted he himself doesn’t know whether aliens exist.
So what are we actually witnessing here? Is this controlled disclosure? Political theater? A genuine shift in transparency? Or simply another layer in the long saga of government-meets-UFO culture?
If disclosure is happening, it feels… haphazard. Fragmented. Almost improvised. And here’s the real twist: even if definitive proof of alien life were released tomorrow, would anyone believe it?
Public trust in institutions is so fractured right now that confirmation might spark more skepticism than celebration. The people who have believed for decades might question the timing. The people who never believed might dismiss it as manipulation.
We’ve reached a moment where the possibility of aliens isn’t the most unbelievable part … and with the amount of mistrust in the government people may dismiss disclosure as a fraud..
I’ve been seeing nothing but rumors online for about four or five days now claiming that a Stranger Things movie is coming next year. Here’s the problem.
It’s not. Now listen .. I’ll be the first to enjoy being wrong about this. Seeing the season finale of Stranger Things in the movie theater was great. I do wish the finale had been a bit different than it was, but that’s another story. At least I got to hear “Heroes” over the end credits on a big screen. That was cool.
But these baseless rumors about a Stranger Things movie next year? They’re circulating with no apparent source. No credible trade reporting. No official announcement. Just fake Netflix sites and fan accounts on social media repeating each other until it sounds real. And that’s the issue.
This feels less like news and more like a pressure campaign to will some secret “Conformity Gate” Episode 9 into existence, the mythical lost chapter that people are convinced was quietly made.
This isn’t forecasting. It’s wish casting. If this were the weather world, it would be the equivalent of declaring a blizzard because you hope it snows.
Now, will there be more Stranger Things-adjacent content? Of course. We already know the animated series is coming. Netflix is planning to film the Broadway play for eventual broadcast. There will be spin-offs. There will be knock-offs. There will be things inspired by it for years. But that’s not the same as a surprise movie starring the original cast.
Let’s be honest. They’re not kids anymore. The Duffer Brothers have moved on to other projects. And unless the stars align in some truly weird Upside Down way, the idea that the gang is secretly regrouping for a theatrical film next year feels… far-fetched.
What bothers me most about these rumors isn’t even the rumor itself. It’s when the comments start treating the rumor as confirmed fact.
That’s how things snowball.
That’s how a baseless theory becomes a “factoid.” That’s how next year rolls around and people get angry over something that was never promised in the first place.
Now again — I would love to be wrong. I’d absolutely show up. It would be fun to see what another installment could look like. But let’s face the music.
It’s done, folks. The only “Episode 9” you’re getting is AI recreations of what could have been… or fan fiction filling in the gaps.
And honestly? That might be okay. We still have the memories. We still have the music.
And hey we still have The Squawk over at wsqkfm.com.
Unrelated to the show. But the music will play on.
Bill Hader will write, direct, and star in the upcoming horror film They Know, based on an original story he created with his “Barry” collaborator Duffy Boudreau.
They Know centers on a divorced dad (Hader) who grows suspicious that his ex-wife is secretly dating a mysterious man — someone who seems to be having a strange and unsettling influence on their children.
This sounds pretty exciting.
When comedians go the horror route, it can be magical. We’ve seen it before. The late, great Robin Williams stunned audiences in One Hour Photo, a performance that proved just how thin the line can be between charm and menace. And there’s something about Bill Hader that, despite the comedy, is somewhat creepy. He has this ability to take humor to a level where it almost becomes frightening. There’s a precision to his performances — especially in darker moments — that makes you uncomfortable in the best possible way.
That’s why this could turn out to be something special.
If he leans into that unsettling edge while maintaining his emotional depth, They Know could be a consequentially wonderful horror film. Looking forward to it.
We wrote a few weeks ago about this TikTok account we’ve been following for WSQK.. The one and only Squawk, and how it seemed like someone got green light permission to build a radio station tied to Stranger Things Season 5, but not officially through the Duffers or Netflix (at least, not that we could confirm).
Since then we’ve tried reaching out for more info to the fine British lad who runs the streams and the social accounts. We haven’t heard back yet — so we still don’t have confirmation straight from him — but from watching his videos and how the station operates, it definitely feels like it’s a fan-based station that was allowed to exist, not something Netflix or the Duffers are directly managing.
What is real and has been reported is that a real-world “WSQK The Squawk” station was launched in conjunction with the final season of Stranger Things by UK broadcaster Global, in partnership with Netflix U.K. as part of the show’s promotional experience. It plays nonstop ’80s hits, has in-universe segments like “Rewind at 9” and “Talk to Tammy,” and was set up to mirror the fictional radio station from the show…
That station has run on DAB in London, on Global Player, and through smart speakers (just ask Alexa or Google to “Play The Squawk”). It was initially planned to broadcast into January and presented by DJs like Mindy Flare and Vance Goodman .. the same voices we all grew up with (lol) ..
So it does seem as though a real, licensed, pop-up station was created around the finishing of the show and not just a random fan project. But who owns the wsqkfm.com site and runs that specific stream? That’s still unclear and we haven’t found any reliable ownership info through public record or domain lookup, so we’re not including guesses here.
Still, if you’re like us and just can’t quite let go of Conformity Gate or the nostalgia of the ‘80s, you’ve probably been blasting the WSQK playlists all afternoon — and hopefully that’s been a blast for you as well.
The former President was speaking about Donald Trump and ICE on a podcast this weekend–but something he said about aliens took a life of its own. In response to a tongue in cheek question about UFOs, Barack Obama said they are real.. but he hasn’t seen them.
So there we had it! Disclosure! They are real!
Until they aren’t…
Obama quickly gave us aliens and then tooketh them awayeth.. He went on social media:
