The monster also sheds a tear for the plight of the native Americans. Totally woke.

It makes sense for the monster to take his father’s name and thus also be a Frankenstein. So the monster is Frankenstein and Frankenstein is also the monster.
I guess not. I’m just interested in the science.
I don’t know how that could be extrapolated from this study, unless they would also want to ban all women on HCs from voting because… they have stronger memory regarding emotional events?
I would like to see this study replicated while explicitly including pregnant women as a third group since many HCs are designed to trick the body into thinking it’s pregnant. It wouldn’t surprise me if pregnant people had the same effects as those on contraceptives.
Okay, now I gotta see one of those edits where Austin Powers is in MGS 3.
It might be malicious compliance on the part of the school board cause now the premier (who wanted this) is all mad. “I didn’t want The Handmaid’s Tale and The Colour Purple removed! Just those LGBT books!”
I worked with someone who used to work at BioWare, worked on Mass Effect even. He got so burnt out from working there, that designing calendars for barely above minimum wage for an old man who didn’t believe in filing cabinets was a better job.
Though it was amusing to hear Stan Lee say that he was just out of ideas for how to give people powers so was all “whatever, they were born that way!”
Looking forward to it! I’ve always liked mutants as a catch-all for various minority groups. Some are visible, but many are not and society is always trying to find a “cure” for them. Young mutants get kicked out of their homes with nowhere to go. The X-Men has always been woke.
Have fun on your vacation! I wanna rewatch Jaws. The novel was just removed from all our school libraries for having “sexually explicit content”. 🙃 I once went to a Jaws night at the waterpark and you couldn’t hear the movie from the water slides at all. Couldn’t even watch it from the hot tub.
Even better if it’s got a regular heist to steal the original artefact back from the British Museum. “That doesn’t belong in a museum!”
Oh, I bet. Though I did have to smile at the Bluey plushies behind you, since the same Bluey plushie was also sitting behind me.
Yup. The thing about the “numbers” is that the only number that really matters is “1” because even that is too many. It kills me that more isn’t being done to stand up to the child murderers.
My husband and I had to interrupt our 4 year old working on her Finding Nemo puzzle to give her a big hug at the end of the video. All the horribleness in both Gaza and Ukraine has been a stream of punches to the gut and sheer gratefulness that my child is alive and well.
I had to laugh at “Bentkey”. Couldn’t help but think that “a bent key unlocks no doors.”
One of these days, a loon is going to figure out how to walk upright and it’ll start a trend. They’ll be on their way to becoming penguins/great auks.
I usually try to respectfully address their points, but sometimes I just go with the tack of “if you don’t believe in evolution, then you must believe god is an idiot.” That gets them to shut up at least.
I end up attempting to debate creationists because my palaeontology groups are full of them. I know it’s futile, but I think if I can educate someone else who’s reading, maybe it’s worth it. When they ask where’s the evidence, I just wanna gesture wildly to a board full of the evidence.
I’m not Jimmy Jim Jimmy Jim Jim Jim Jim! HE’S Jimmy Jim Jimmy Jim Jim Jim Jim!”
I imagine the “based on her real life” part was that she was a teenage girl in Toronto in the 90’s with a Chinese family and an overbearing mother who embarrassed her in public.
It’s on Wikipedia’s list of biggest box office bombs. A lot of people really didn’t like it, probably due to it being about teenage girls being teenage girls.
Turning Red is a legitimately good movie. I also enjoyed the 2023 Haunted Mansion.
I think it would be one thing if the series was perfectly fine, but as an adult, it’s easy to see the rot leaking through it. The fat shaming, ableism, etc.. is all quite clear now. I stopped reading after the 5th book because I simply didn’t like the person Harry was becoming.
It’s a shame. It’s such a betrayal to her original fanbase, many of whom are LGBT and connected with Harry Potter because they too felt like an outcast and wanted a magical place where they could feel valued and powerful. I was a huge fan back in the day and wrote my own terrible knockoff story.
I watched the original TV series and remember thinking it was very much like Harry Potter, with a harsh potions teacher who has a dislike of the new student from a non-magical family who always gets herself into trouble. You’ve also got the snobby blonde bully from a proud line witches.
Though I wish MPs had to reside in the region they’re representing. Make him live in Ryley. I’ll go egg his house.
I doubt it. I grew up in Battle River where he’s running and it is extremely conservative. Unless things have changed recently, he’s a shoe in.
look at this freakin guy people.com/crane-family...
I’m normally not a violent person, but for him, I make an exception.
If it’s within my own lifetime, I would probably try to prevent the murders and kidnapping of children since I would know a time and place they went missing. I would be a mysterious guardian angel for children. Alternately, kill a certain dictator of Russia.
I apologize if what I said upset you. I only meant it in the sense that calling someone a survivor gives people the impression that they can do everything themselves and require no help from others.
Oh, I’m not arguing that they can’t. They are often one and the same. It’s just that we don’t say things like “victim of an earthquake” or “survivor of robbery.”
Another side to those terms is that a “survivor” is defined by the things they do to keep going despite what is thrown at them, while a “victim” is defined by what things others have done to them. Survivors have bootstraps.
Aw, now I wanna go to Universal Studios to see Dracula. Please tell me there’s a Frankenstein monster and a Wolfman as well.
Return to Oz is great. Creepy bicycle men, room full of screaming heads, headless lady running up the stairs… pure nightmare fuel. It’s wonderful. Also closer to the books than the original movie.
Nice! Raymond is my birthday twin!
I’m waiting for the Power Rangers to show up.
The trailer had some classic Police Squad humour, so I hope it’s good!
At least Prince Edward Island is an actual island. I had also assumed that Rhode Island would be an island because why would you name it that otherwise.
William Castle was truly ahead of his time.
A perfect movie to go all William Castle on.
Reason number two why I don’t want my next office to be in the basement… mice! Just went through a box of old sketchbooks and art pieces and the whole base was filled with old mouse poop. 😩 “Old” because it’s been years since we had any problems with mice.
I’ve been known to debate with creationists on Facebook pages about evolution. Probably pointless, but if I can get one person to think critically for a moment or even just educate the ignorant, I’d consider it worth it.
Man, I really gotta play Date Everything.
If you told me that this man was a vampire, I would absolutely believe you.
I feel bad for his kids who now have to live in Russia. :/
I remember when vapes were pushed as a safer alternative to smoking. But nope, looks like they’re bad too.
Get this crab an interior design show from the early 2000’s on TLC, STAT. “Help! My living room is just so boring and drab! I need some help from the Decorator Crab!”
Sure, I don’t have a problem with that.
Dang, that’s my jam. Nostalgia and an early bedtime.
My dad read me the first book when I was 5 and I owned the box set on VHS. The white witch was terrifying. Childhood favourite. 💜
I’d argue that the puppet from the BBC version looks better than those lions.
Pointless in every conceivable way. The epitome of why I will never go see a Disney remake. I have the originals at home on Bluray. Why would I pay money to watch a worse version?
37. But secretly still a child. Sort of a female Vincent Adultman if you will.
I Am America. And So Can You!
Same, Margaret Atwood… same.
You’re in luck then! Because these aren’t mice! Not true mice anyway. There’s an animal in most groups of rodents that we call a “mouse”. If we want to call all of them mice, then squirrels and beavers are mice too.
Y’know, more and more I think that this capitalism thing just isn’t working out. AI is just putting us on a fast track to Idiocracy becoming a documentary.
I hear all kinds of cool stuff in the Toys R Us. Around Halloween they played Scooby Doo music and the Goosebumps theme. Reminds me of the time I popped into The Source and Snake Eater started playing.
Looks like a font issue. It’s taking instances of “il” and changing it to ç. I’ve had this happen before when working on book layouts. Really something that should have been caught before going to print.
That exact troll doll is in my daughter’s toy box with all the other trolls from my childhood. And so are about 5 million beanie babies.
Seriously. I don’t think that’s something that should even be legal, honestly.
Possibly, but I didn’t bother. I was just there to find out if my finger was broken or not and it wasn’t my usual doctor.
I went to the doctor today and had to sign a form consenting to “AI note taking.” It felt gross.
Needs at least a couple more zeroes on that number. Such a weak fine just means that these companies can do whatever they want because there are no real consequences for them.
Rescued one of these guys a few years back and took him to the wildlife rescue. I think the neighbour’s cat got him. Hope he recovered. He lost a lot of feathers.
I know folks who’ve worked at BioWare. It deserves better than to just be Mass Effect forever. So I guess I hope ME5 bombs for the sake of the people who work there.
Gross. Just gross.
Actually, giant pandas were named after the red pandas. Red pandas are the true pandas and giant pandas are merely false pandas.
One of my junior high social studies projects was to create an old timey poster to encourage Europeans to come to Canada. It was a fun project.
I was taught in school that land was laid out in a grid to make it easier to sell parcels to immigrants to settle there. “Come out west and farm on all this FREE LAND!” Here in the prairies, a grid certainly seems to make sense.
Lol, I’m from Alberta and I wasn’t paying close attention to those maps, so I totally didn’t recognise Calgary. I was however, from the very start thinking, “Well then why is Canada on a grid too?”
I’m afraid it also doesn’t stop cis women from being harassed because they’re tall or “not feminine enough”. Basically the only women who can use women’s washrooms are those who are cis, gender conforming and have no features that one could consider “masculine”.
It’s because they try to frame it around “protecting women” because they believe all trans women are devious sexual predators. Trans men aren’t a threat because they are probably just thought of as also being women.
I have many favourites and this is only one of them.
We recently played Man of Medan a couple times with different friends. The first time, I was able to solve the mystery based on clues the game left and we could act accordingly. The second time we played, our friend was not interested in looking for clues and never solved anything.
This is why I love Return of the Obra Dinn so much. You legitimately have to use deductive reasoning and real world knowledge to make progress.
This movie is one of my guilty pleasures. Bat credit cards, ice puns, Arnie… just great cheese to be had.
About 500 people, dressed in cowboy hats, belt buckles, and jeans, packed a community hall in Fort Macleod, Alta., for an event marked by heckling, competing applause and placards. globalnews.ca/news/1123762... #Alberta #coal
If you want your friends to see you playing Lumines, they better be on your couch. As god intended.
All dog best dog. Gotta give some love to the Pokémon dogs. Bread dog is a good buddy.
RIP to your AirPods.
I know, it’s eerie. I had a poster of Belle on my wall as a kid, love to sing, I draw and do graphic design and am a bit of a bisexual witch. Perhaps it was I who was shaped by the fictional characters. Seriously though, Hawkeye is a rad one to get and also very appropriate. 👍🏻
Yes. My error was in assuming I wouldn’t ever need to use the associated account.
Pretty pleased with my own, but it’s bound to be a bit biased to to self rating.
Well yes, but the reason I spent $60 on a lightbulb was the ability to change colour and brightness. Now that I’m logged out, it’s no different from a normal lightbulb. I just hate having to log in to stuff to use the things I already own.
I got logged out of my lightbulb and I can’t log back in, so now I can’t use my $60 lightbulb for its intended purpose. (Its intended purpose was to allow me to change the colour and brightness in my child’s bedroom.)
It should be revived as an animated series, but in an animation style like the opening of Bewitched.
Red Letter Media has a fun video about all this stuff in Next Gen. Back when they were filming for 4x3 TV screens, they didn’t care about all the little things folks wouldn’t see. But with the remasters, we can see eeeevvvrrything. m.youtube.com/watch?v=yzJq...
But it becomes cool again when men decide they like it, like Elvis or The Beatles. This reminds me that I was wanting to play that game about dating anthropomorphized household objects.
Mine was either pretty accurate or flattering. Perhaps it would be less so if we weren’t the ones judging ourselves.
We started playing it just the other day and I’ve cried several times already.
I love me some social relationships in games, be they romantic or otherwise. Like, my biggest gripe with the Persona 3 remake was no girl mode, so no romancing Akihiko. Also can’t go through Mass Effect without romancing Garrus.
Yeah, I don’t think you can blame anyone for doing what’s best for their family when the writing is on the wall. If you want to stay and fight, then cool, that’s great. But it’s not fair to begrudge those who don’t for leaving. Not everyone wants to risk being unemployed or disappeared.
Capitalism fails because it is built around financial incentive. There is incentive to make products out of cheaper materials, to charge more for them, to institute planned obsolescence. There is incentive to destroy the environment, to charge for healthcare, to treat the homeless like garbage.
If it’s a small town newspaper, it could be a pretty dull job, but still more akin to Parks and Rec. It’s not all that exciting to be covering the results of the jr high volleyball tournament against “rival town” or that the owners of a pig farm are having a garage sale. But it could still be funny.
I was so disappointed when I upgraded to a new iPad mini when I realized the headphone jack was gone and I needed to buy a special adapter so I could fall asleep to YouTube. And my MacBook needs an adapter dangling off it so I can use my Wacom tablet. Why did you betray me Apple.
