Reminder: Dr. Victor/Henry von Frankenstein's assistant is named "Fritz." He's the hunchback. "Igor" is somebody who survived a hanging (played by Bela Legosi) and blackmailed Baron Wolf von Frankenstein into reviving the monster. It's from the excellent Son of Frankenstein. #pedantry

As well as this, I feel quite strongly that the increased prominence in recent years of social media influencers who engage in nothing but ragebait content and harassment has proverbially sucked all the air out of the room, content mills producing bullshit at speed who dominate gaming conversations.

waiter: would you like some capers with your pasta batman: what

It's been awhile since I spent time with Catholic Social Teaching but it always has resonated with me. He's right, the American desire to separate ourselves from the poor and live in insulated bubbles is directly opposed to being a Good Person.

Never, ever believe companies when they say something will "increase competition." That's like somebody saying that they really want you to tie their arm behind their back before a boxing match. Of course they don't want that! www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...

Will they learn? Probably not. Culture war points have replaced actual money for a bunch of these idiots. www.forbes.com/sites/janice...

“The source told CBS News that [Kash Patel and Dan Bongino] asked for "large, beefy" agents to conduct an arrest of Comey "in full kit," including Kevlar vests and exterior wear emblazoned with the FBI logo.” The leadership of the FBI is now in the hands of infantile psychopaths.

Pour one out for all the young parents who are going to be harassed by boomer grandparents about letting the kids watch Netflix.

it isn't just federal cops though, this is all cops.

It's actually depressing as HELL that YouTube and Social Media personalities can wield enormous influence in exactly two spaces - Their own and "The US Government" - but have exactly ZERO real effect on the pop-culture spaces they most focus on.

This is on the street OUTSIDE of the Ice building, it's city property. The agent should be charged with assault.

UK cis women, please sign this to acknowledge that trans people are not a threat. (Unless you think they are, in which case you're awful so please fuck off and never come back.) Everybody else, please circulate. 💜

Tommy Robinson posted a neo-Nazi blog that accused me and my fellow Jews Jack Straw and Barbara Roche of conspiring to flood the UK with immigrants.

What the fuck do you mean I got a longer prison sentence than Diddy

If conservative media claims something, especially about liberals, it's almost never true.

I knew the first half of this story— that Gary Larsen’s cartoon joking Dr. Goodall was sleeping with chimpanzees caused her Institute to lawyer up only for her to find the comic super amusing upon her return from the field— but I’d never heard Larsen got attacked by a chimpanzee!

BONE GUN NOW PLEASE

We have a white supremacist gestapo with complete immunity in our country now.

If we're finally going to crack down about lying to Congress under oath, I think there are several Cabinet members and a few Supreme Court justices whose testimonies might need revisiting.

😱

Wow they're just riding that big headed boy's corpse all the way to the bank, huh?

I have said this many times - if politicians are faced with journalists who behave in this bigoted and utterly bizarre way, they should answer as follows: 'Why are you asking me a question that is not a question but a statement meant to demean trans women?'

You may call yourself a "woman," but when archeologists dig up your bones in three thousand years, they'll tell everyone your copper ingots were subpar

I know Van's speaking from the heart and I appreciate his thoughts, but what does a "respectful dialogue" about race look like? Just because Kirk was polite doesn't mean he wasn't also a very clever manipulator of media figures so that they would do exactly what Van's doing here - giving him cover.

"We are cool, generally left wing, and have important thoughts. Why does the left wing site not like us?"

When you have to have some sort of procedure and a part of your body is described as “grossly normal” it’s pretty offensive. Like fuck you, that’s so rude, my gallbladder is tight as fuck. Don’t talk shit, just look at my viscera and synthesize the results, idiot.

Tell that to Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera. We gained what rights we once had to begin with because of their direct action against authority and oppressors. You are very ignorant of the history on our own people's actions, but I'm not shocked as you are an assimilationist type of trans woman.

OK, before we get into our Bible study, I just want to say again that we value civility and kindness even when we disagree, and that we condemn political violence as always absolutely unacceptable. Now let’s turn in our Bibles to the story of Elijah and the priests of Baal. …

For context: Kimmel EXCORIATED Leno in the past for the sh-- he pulled during the Conan/Tonight fiasco, so this is Jay actually showing some genuinely admirable commitment to principles here. 👍

Liberal politicians if you are so disturbed just pretend Charlie Kirk was a Palestinian child and you’ll get over it in no time

His work was calling for lynching of trans people. Political violence is wrong no matter what and he constantly called for it.

charlie kirk has received infinitely more sympathy and support from liberals than every single trans person, immigrant, and palestinian combined

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

"Sorry, all my competent investigators were busy dragging Hispanic grandmothers out of their cars."

One thing I always try to do when someone passes is to honor them the way THEY would have wanted, not the way that makes me most comfortable. And Kirk made it pretty clear he didn't want to be remembered with empathy, or with calls for a cessation of political violence, or even less shootings.

Finally, news we can trust

Glenn Beck’s media outlet The Blaze just gave an interview last month to the person who killed the politicians in Minnesota
