The first software I ever pirated was when I printed out the BASIC code for "Lemonade" on my school's Apple ][ and typed the whole thing into my computer at home!

They remain, not as ruins but reminders. Built with hope, they still invite wonder. In shadowed stillness, devotion lingers. Each stone, each beam, still listens for footsteps once known.

But enough about me

“You’ve been kidnapped

Your kidnappers allow you keep posting on social media to pretend everything is alright.

What would you post that would alarm your followers, without the kidnappers knowing you’re asking for help?”

Also, ORGY OF THE DEAD, written by Ed Wood. In high school, my friends and I rented this expecting a sexy Hammer-style erotic horror flick. Not only was there no orgy, but there was no real story to speak of...just scene after scene of mostly-clothed women doing "sultry" dancing.

Four horror films that were not at ALL what I expected (mild spoilers for obvious reasons):

AUDITION - NOT a romantic comedy
MARTYRS - NOT a revenge thriller
BONE TOMAHAWK - a western, but not how I was expecting
THE OTHERS - a ghost story, but not how I was expecting

I think it's worth noting too that Young/College Republicans are all about recruiting young people. In the 90s at least, you wanted to appear sane and respectable so you didn't scare off prospective converts.

Deadward Sung @edwardsung.bsky.social · 18h

I think this is an important point--Republicans were a bigger tent in the 90s and appealed to people who identified as socially liberal/fiscally conservative. (They were still racist, but no more so than your average white centrist Democrat.)

I went to a very conservative southern school in the 70s/80s, and no one said blatantly racist shit out loud because no one had to. There was no pent-up racist energy to blow off. If you did say it out loud, you were considered rude and uncouth.

Whenever I hear about a promising actor who mysteriously drops out of acting, or a terrible actor who mysteriously keeps getting work, I assume the reason is something awful and unsavory.
