70. Mad Monster Party? (1967) - Rankin/Bass (Rudolph, etc.) stop motion feature. Frankenstein creates a potion of a nuke and passes it on to his nephew. First he invites every monster to his island for a party. Cool monsters, a super busty puppet, and Dr. Frankenstein nuking Dracula. Slow, but fun.

All of the monsters (and Francesca for part of the movie) are trying to off Felix to inherit Frankenstein's secret formula.

Out here looking like she should be running the office at Sterling Cooper.

The movie takes a lonnnnng time to get going but once the monsters start showing up to the party it gets good.

There are a number of musical interludes that seem designed to appeal to 1960s teens.

Some snippets of citizen sentiment to share: “New polls from Gallup and YouGov show Democrats pulling ahead of Republicans as the party voters trust more to handle the economy…Maybe the situation for Democrats is less dire than pundits think.” +

Polls show voters now trust Democrats more to handle the economy

The issue that sank Democrats in 2024 now threatens to do the same to Republicans in 2025 and the 2026 midterms

Truly do not understand why this and fake arrest videos are some of the first things people rushed to make. What is going on in their heads? Repulsive on every level.

That’s the kind of kneejerk dismissive advice that makes me violent. Telling people to just grow their own food is tantamount to telling them to eat cake.

On Threads, the usual suspects are telling ppl about to lose SNAP benefits to just start a garden. As a gardener, I had to laugh. You need at LEAST an acre of land to feed a family of 4. Start-up costs are enormous. But yes, subsistence farming on the balcony of your rental apartment is the answer

here, enjoy this mental image brought to you by the product disclaimer

Any liquid condiments such as ketchup, mustard, BBQ sauce, ranch, mayonnaise, vinegar, chocolate syrup, etc. can be dispensed from the Condiment Cow. Chunky condiments (relish, salsa, etc) do NOT work well.

there is a sow option too

An image of The Condiment Sow, a truly terrifying effigy of a pig with condiment dispensers emerging from the underside of the pig. It looks surprised and scared as it stands on grass, in front of a white picket fence and a blue sky with clouds.

Several of the women I interviewed belong to religious communities that strongly oppose gender-affirming care, and yet were taking testosterone in amounts comparable to those taken by some trans men.

"I go to America pretty often.
And each time I do, I drive around in a convertible, completely engrossed.
In total, I’ve traveled about 20,000 miles — there’s always that ordinary America that I love.
I love it there. Plain old ordinary America is wonderful and beautiful."
