The one thing I know about it is that it might involve sexiness, which may or may not wholly explain your son's aversion to you watching it together ;)

Kinda psyched for this, actually. First horror film I watched after moving back up north, five years ago almost to the day. Be interesting to see if my opinion on it has changed. (This is once again all @randomhorror9.bsky.social's fault.)

My lovely horror-fan followers. I face a DILEMMA. I must, MUST watch a scary movie. But is it to be It Feeds, or Obsession? Please save this particular ass from this particular Donkey Paradox. (Preferably without spoilers though, cheersta.)

One of the worst things about being a Vulcan must be pretending to not be bothered when someone loaded up on coffee, beer and chili opens their passages upwind of you. "It's just a biological function, T'Lyn; it would be illogical to crack a window."

He was, ("Playing God"). I think he survived the Badlands, though, or at least it's never suggested whether there were any casualties, and the cruiser itself survives to send out a distress signal. (Of course, it would be hilarious if he DID die, so happy to headcanon this.)

All I'll say about the Green "Zionism is racism" motion is all I think pretty much anyone in the UK should be saying: a whole lot of you are *super* confident about what will or won't help the Palestinian cause without checking in with a single Palestinian.

My mayor told me Airbnb owners keep buying out his buildings so I asked how many buildings he has and he said he just goes to the construction company and builds a new building afterwards so I said it sounds like he's just feeding shelter to Airbnb owners then his tenants union started crying. 12/12

One thing that's been bothering me in the last couple days is I have never seen this level of "we should forgive and forget" "rehabilitation" for any woman doing anything perceived as or actually wrong no matter how small compared to literally having sexually assaulted someone.

your response to “I was raped” should not be “I was right”
4 panel comic

Panel 1:
A Purple Woman looks distraught, on the verge of breaking down. She says “that man raped me”
Orange Guy standing next to her is absent-mindedly checking his nails. He says “Wellll, I’ve always disliked him and his work.”

Panel 2:
Purple Woman begins to cry. Orange Guy adopts an incredibly smug expression and says “Guess I must just be a good judge of character”

Panel 3: 
Purple Woman dissolves into sobs. Orange  Guy notices, puts his hand on her shoulder and says “Aw”

Panel 4:
Purple Woman crumples to the floor. Orange Guy, looking bemused, asks “Are you crying because you’re jealous of how smart I am?”

The Phantom of Heilbronn, also referred to as the Woman Without a Face, was a presumed female serial killer whose existence was inferred from DNA evidence found at 40 crime scenes across Austria, France and Germany from 1993 to 2009.

In March 2009, investigators concluded that the supposed serial killer did not exist, and the DNA belonged to a woman who worked at a factory that made the cotton swabs used for collecting DNA samples

Seems really unfair to give Frank Turner grief for the diminishing returns on creative endeavours that almost every musician suffers from, when you could be focussing on him being an absolute piece of shit human being instead.

I rate neither of your comparative premises :) It's all good, anyway. I'm allotting myself one public sulk a decade, and this was the perfect vehicle for it. Currently thinking about how to write up "Stardust City Rag", and at least the fury it inspires on me means I'll have something to say.
