For some loving reason I still follow Futurism on Facebook, mainly to wind myself up I think, and it is followed by the most awful people. Comments are just full of right wingers and Elon Musk fans. I've just got in an argument about the link between climate change and the Australian bushfires. It's so loving infuriating. Had to vent, they've promptly been unfollowed (they were poo poo anyway, but it's besides the point). Bonus was when it suggested "for fans of futurism" and all the different suggestions were Elon Musk fan groups.

There are three anglophone horror writers I have spent half my life admiring. One was terrified of his swarthy jewish wife and one died drunk in a ditch. Stephen, I need to do better.

Well Lovecraft actually seems to have eased up on his insane racism after marrying Sonia Greene, but, uh, still, all of his work. Especially around the terrifying time Howard and Sonia moved to Brooklyn.

She's younger than my brother who barely remembers video games that didn't have save functionality or a time we didn't have the internet in our home. Of course she thinks it's weird when she's never known a world where that was normal.

People are explaining it to him politely, so i expect him to move on or give a grandpa style “I had no idea” apology.I’d be disappointed if he doubled down. What do you think of Edgar Allen Poe possibly dying as a victim of cooping? Which for those who do t know involves kidnapping drugging and beating people so they’ll vote for someone in an election

The chances of there being a sex scene or extremely gory murder scene must be at least 50%. The Franchise sort of caught me by surprise as it starts out more like a detective series but the later parks are something like 90% erotic novel. I would keep it on headphones but start blushing when it went through sex scenes if I had someone nearby. I think those parts are kind of garbage and not what I came to the franchise for. But the author also puts plot twists in the middle of them so you can't really skip them,

Nothing is more gay than marrying a woman that's just asking for estrogen to get transferred to you. You really need to marry a man. That doubles your testosterone right there.

Edgar Allen Ho posted:isn't futurism literally a component of OG Benito fascism? the italian fascists were obsessed with Futurism, the early 20th century art and aesthetic movement. this is mostly because Futurism was a pretty italian thing and every young idealist intellectual of every political stripe was into it as an aesthetic affectation. boiled down it's basically just "gently caress the past, youth means new things, let's create a new world the way we think best" nowadays when people say futurism it generally means, vacant technology-as-magic nerdery and blind support for technology "innovators" and "disruptors" as if increasing technology is itself an inherent good, regardless of how it is applied or the impact it has on society Mr. Fall Down Terror has a new favorite as of 20:33 on Jan 14, 2020 |

My favourite bit of trivia about the Three wise Monkeys is that there is a seldom-used fourth one. He covers his genitals and represents "Do no evil". I find that hilarious.
