Add issue/PR triage bot as a GitHub Actions workflow (#3560)
Replaces the legacy ghi-assist webhook server (a Bottle app supervised by 'angel' on va-admin01) with an in-repo Actions workflow. A single actions/github-script step dispatches on issues/issue_comment/ pull_request_target events and reproduces every ghi-assist hook: label new issues/PRs from ##label lines (else status: untriaged), additive
label application from comments, claim-by-comment, assign-related-issue
from a PR's #N reference, status: claimed toggling on (un)assignment, and from: support tagging on dreamwidth.org/support links. Uses the built-in GITHUB_TOKEN (no webhook server, secret, or bot account); repo labels are autoloaded as the whitelist and the effort/severity aliases are preserved.
Comment-driven labeling is additive here (the original replaced all labels). pull_request_target is used so fork PRs get a write-scoped token; the script only reads payload metadata and calls the labels/assign API (no PR checkout).

this is a movie post I guess
Jun. 6th, 2026 10:52 pmsnickfic- Gutted by the death of Anthony Stewart Head.
- I've been watching so many movies lately. Many other life tasks and ambitions have been iffy, but an A+ in movie watching. Yesterday I saw Backrooms again. Still good a second time! Cosmic horror and impossible spaces are exactly my jam, but also it turns out the A24 vibe really works for it. I've spent a lot of time scrolling social media about it. Tomorrow I might go see Obsession again.
- The thing about the backrooms is their basic concept and visuals are very easy to replicate, so no doubt we're all going to be totally sick of them within two months, but in the meantime, this backrooms riff on the official McDonald's channel is a lot of fun. I can't say it makes me want to go eat a burger, but as an elder millennial some of the imagery definitely got me.
- As someone who likes both numbers and horror movies, it's been a hell of a time to be watching the box office. Obsession INCREASED its receipts for the second AND the third weekend, which is absolutely absurd outside of the Christmas holidays (when releases and days off shift a lot of patterns around). "Little horror wins big" obviously calls The Blair Witch Project and Paranormal Activity to mind, but in terms of percentage increases the most recent comp is probably freaking E.T.. Incredible.
Meanwhile Backrooms obliterated all A24's previous records in the first weekend and is now, in week 2, their biggest movie ever.
- Speaking of Youtubers making good: The Future Of Horror Filmmaking Is YouTube ... If You're A Dude. Yeah. :/
- The Dog Stars doesn't look good, but Jacob Elordi looks good in it, so I'll probably still see it. ;__; And Margaret Qualley, too!
- The Dead Meat Horror Awards have released their list of movies, although not the categories yet. I did such a good job watching horror movies last year that there are only 2-3 here that I haven't seen and might want to. (Dangerous Animals, The Toxic Avenger, maybe Black Phone 2. Maybe Ick??)

(I have now gone back to watch NK Jemisin's speech. So far she has dealt with a small fire with impressive aplomb. ...okay, that was really good. I don't know if the ceremony video is going to stay available but here's the link.) (Also I watched the In Memoriams - oh shit, John Varley died last December? I totally missed that. One reason I always watch the Memoriams!)
