*Fwoosh*

And that ball goes sailing over your head.

takes a lotta chutzpah for bill maher to complain about *other people* being more about entertaining than informing.

Yup. The childlike Frankenstein’s monster you see in the movies tends to be more like, say, Lennie from Of Mice and Men - someone fundamentally incapable of understanding the impact of their actions. The monster of the book is a much more grim and tragic figure.

But how many adaptations have there been that haven’t shown the Monster is a sympathetic light? Maybe some of the Hammer versions, but that’s pretty much it, and those were never remotely as iconic as the Universal classics. The Universal adaptations dumbed down the Monster by massive degrees, but they arguably made…

It’s worth noting the only cable internet provider in state (i.e., the ISP most everyone uses,) is called Cox. Commence jokes.

That dude’s shaping up to a be a great example of why I don’t really care about the letter next to a candidate’s name.

Maybe they will innovate something called a removable battery, so that I can carry a couple extra for a weekend trip. Or even a breakage resistant plastic body. Or maybe an IR blaster so that my phone turns into a remote when I am in my recliner and the remote is not handy. Or have the headphones jack on top where it…

In a world where every other company has been trying to figure out where to put a front camera on an all screen phone, Vivo just went out and did it. Hell yes.
