What scene makes you emotional no matter how many times you've seen it?

Just did a quick look around and I don't see very many headlines about the President of the US making people pledge allegiance to him personally while telling everyone to commit election fraud and "cheat like hell" to support his party. Seems like it should be a story?

like you apparently have to make some money to live in society but it turns out you don’t have to care about it and if you just read books and go on adventures the rest of the time nobody can really stop you? wild

A friend told my wife and I that getting married and settling down was our midlife crisis. 8 years later I'm a househusband and looking after my elderly parents. I've also stopped drinking and started paying attention to my diet. It's not a bad life.

And just as the music starts and they're about to fade to black, a guy in a white hardhat and slightly nicer clothes comes strolling up to him and Lawrence. Peter hasn't lost annoying supervisors at all. It's a perfect ending but nobody seems to catch that part.

A fascist makes wild claims that there are powerful secretive organizations endlessly persecuting him, for the same reason he is a sexual predator: he completely rejects the idea of consent and agency. He can't perceive that millions of people individually decided to tell him "no, fuck off"

As a teen I worked at a gas station selling people scratch tickets. I would not have thought that people could destroy their lives over 1$ scratch-offs, but I watched it happen. I think about how much worse off my customers would've been if they could have gambled on their phones.

Character MATTERS. Someone cannot just have the correct whitepaper collection and slogans on their site. These people will have power over you. These people will be making decisions that impact us all. Do they indicate that they can be trusted with that power? That matters just as much.

One thing I like is that since Dr Seward's journal sections are wax cylinder recordings, a lot of Van Helsing's "Mein Gott vat now" lines are actually Dr Seward imitating his accent. For scientific accuracy of course.

Garffeld
Three panel comic of an homage to the first Garfield strip, but Jon is a monk and Garfield is a medieval rendering of a cat. In the first panel, Jon says, “HWÆT, LAM JON ARBUCKLE. I AM A MONK, AND THIS MY CATTE, GARFFELD.” In the second panel, Garffeld is thinking, “ HWÆT, I AM GARFFELD. I AM A CATTE, AND THIS IS MY MONK, JON.” In the last panel, Jon says, “OUR ONLY THOUGHT IS TO GLORIFY GOD.” Garffeld thinks, “FEDE ME.”

The difference between having a cat and having a dog is staggering. Having a dog is like having child who’s disgusting. Having a cat is like having a painting that’s mad at you.

A friend just sent me this perfect piece by Karel Čapek, trans. Dora Round, ‘From the Point of View of a Cat’.
From the Point of View of a Cat
This is my Man. I am not afraid of him. He is very strong, for he eats a great deal; he is an Eater of All Things. What are you eating? Give me some!
He is not beautiful, for he has no fur. Not having enough saliva, he has to wash himself with water. He meows in a harsh voice and a great deal more than necessary. Sometimes in his sleep he purrs.
Let me out!
I don’t know how he has made himself Master; perhaps he has eaten something sublime.
He keeps my rooms clean for me.
In his paws he carries a sharp black claw and he scratches with it on white sheets of paper. That is the only game he plays. He sleeps at night instead of by day, he cannot see in the dark, he has no pleasures. He never thinks of blood, never dreams of hunting or fighting; he never sings songs of love.
Often at night when I can hear mysterious and magic voices, when I can see that the darkness is all alive, he sits at the table with his head bent and goes on and on, scratching with his black claw on the white papers. Don’t imagine that I am at all interested in you. I am only listening to the soft whispering of your claw. Sometimes the whispering is silent, the poor dull head does not know how to go on playing, and then I am sorry for him and I meow softly in sweet and sharp discord. Then my Man picks me up and buries his hot face in my fur. At those times he divines for an instant a glimpse of a higher life, and he sighs with happiness and purrs something which can almost be understood.
But don’t think that I am at all interested in you. You have warmed me, and now I will go out again and listen to the dark voices.
Translated by Dora Round; revised by the editor. Originally published in Intimate Things, 1935.

Mutual on the old place posted, what I thought was an astute observation: there are two types of men who struggle with this, one needs to be told "Just go and ask people out, you're fine", and the other "No, you are making people uncomfortable", and they almost 100% self-select the wrong way round.
