First: F*ck Marilyn Manson, who is an utter creep. I have no idea what Slipknot are doing letting him open for them, and I hope he gets booed out of Wembley Stadium Second: this article feels like a hit piece against the entire metal scene from the Guardian www.theguardian.com/music/2026/s...

theguardian.com

Heavy metal is about uplifting the downtrodden. So why is alleged abuse by Marilyn Manson so easily forgotten?

Slipknot sharing their stage with a man accused of wrongdoing by more than a dozen women is the antithesis of everything the genre should stand for, even if he denies it

How to avoid sexual assault! A QUICK AND EASY GUIDE*

sexual violence centre cork

1 DON'T PUT DRUGS IN PEOPLE'S DRINKS

4 WHEN YOU SEE A WOMAN WALKING BY HERSELF, LEAVE HER ALONE.

3 WHEN YOU COME ACROSS SOMEONE WHO IS DRUNK OR ASLEEP, THE BEST THING TO DO IS NOT RAPE THEM.

6 CARRY A WHISTLE. IF YOU THINK YOU MIGHT RAPE SOMEONE, BLOW THE WHISTLE UNTIL SOMEONE COMES TO STOP YOU.

2 USE THE BUDDY SYSTEM! IF YOU CAN'T STOP YOURSELF FROM SEXUALLY ASSAULTING SOMEONE, ASK A TRUSTED FRIEND TO ACCOMPANY YOU AT ALL TIMES TO STOP YOU.

5 IF YOU ARE IN A LIFT AND SOMEONE STEPS IN, REMEMBER NOT TO SEXUALLY ASSAULT THEM.

*for perpetrators.

I'm still irked by this a decade later. Newcastle is a city of 300k. It's bigger than Pittsburg (excluding the metro area), which I assume Michael Cole has never described as "a small steel-making community just west of New York" WWE filmed *a PPV* in Newcastle (Insurrextion 2003), FFS...

There's something perverse about this article's framing asking us to sympathize with the billionaires who, we're being shown, are actively trying to hide their money overseas to avoid having to contribute to the economy that made them wealthy.

Resident Evil is an odd franchise because the characters have aged over the past three decades, which makes it notable that the female cast have not been featured outside of remakes whereas the male characters have been allowed to grow into dignified middle age Give us JILF Valentine, you cowards

Like I say, the crazed right wing backlash wasn’t so much prompted by pronouns or Black Lives Matter or trendy HR diversity training. It was mostly about MeToo, and the idea that sexually harassing your colleagues and employees would badly damage your reputation, your career and maybe your liberty.

Back in my day we didn’t scrape music from the internet to feed to algorithms and make slop. No. We bought the musical score to the most recent popular adventure movie, stripped it of context in our heads, and used it to soundtrack writing our fantasy novels, like HONEST thieves.

Just to fully underline how spiteful this shit is for those unaware: On the left is the route the Orange Order have been ordered to take for the past 3 decades without trouble. On the right is the route that has brought hundreds of cops to Drumcree. The only motivation is sectarian antagonism.

Hey, ProPublica reporter Jake Pearson here. I’m taking over the account to tell you about my new story. For months, I posed as a problem gambler on DraftKings to test the company's "responsible gaming" safeguards. Spoiler alert: They made me a VIP — and I lost $10K. Here's how it all went down. 🧵
