When Peter Singer dies his eternal punishment in Hell will be to be tortured in a small room, with an unlocked and unguarded door leading directly to heaven, but he can't morally go through it because his torturer is a utility monster.

The best horror films are about mentally ill women and nothing much happens until towards the end (the cat people, the haunting, the innocents, lake mungo, etc.)

Commissioner Michael O'Flaherty adds: 'I observe a tendency to see the human rights of different groups as a zero-sum game. This has contributed to narratives which build on prejudice against trans people and portray upholding their human rights as a de facto threat to the rights of others.’

Remembering when I saw Lake Mungo at the Picturehouse and a guy in front of me immediately got out his phone as soon as the credits started (thus mussing the crucial mid and post credits scenes) and silently googled "Lake Mungo ending explained".

I think the leak of the incredibly racist young republican group chat only furthers the argument that millennials were the only generation able to use the computer without going insane, mostly because the computer was once a place separate from the real world. but now the real world is also computer

that a bunch of billionaires have been irreversibly brainwormed by getting addicted to a glorified chat room adds credence to my theory that spending too much time on IRC as a child acts as a powerful inoculant to the worst impulses of an escalatory group dynamic

Trump: Biden fell down stairs every day, I'm very careful when I walk down stairs, I walk very slowly, nobody has to set a record, just try not to fall, be cool when you walk down. Obama would bop down those stairs. Da da, da da.

The How to Clean a Polyester Dress series is still one of the best things on the SCP wiki. JGT are very good indeed when written by literally anyone other than their creator. DianaBerry can't write dialogue for shit but I'm so glad UE recognised the potential in JGT as a concept.
