It's a high-profile case that happens to involve a celebrity but is also indicative of a massive problem regarding the widespread use of social media as a weapon of intimidation, libel, and harassment, an issue that is very much a potential national security risk.

Setting aside the hideousness of this specific case, I'm hugely relieved that there's finally a pushback against the idea that social media can be a killbox of harassment, character assassination, and full-on stalking. It's insanely dangerous to our society as a whole, and it's not going to stop until the consequences…

….wait, really?

One of the things I most enjoyed about ST was the simplicity - a term I use here in a positive sense - with which it told a good, solid little horror/SF story that was precisely as dark and intricate as it needed to be.

I myself have developed a mindblowing fan theory that Stranger Things is nothing more or less than a competant, enjoyable piece of fun summertime viewing and the internet need to stop dissecting it like it's a goddamn Jodorowsky movie.

This is hilarious. You're hilarious.

Meanwhile, the recipe for the Double Down Dog is still being withheld under maximum secrecy by the SCP Foundation.

Is there any way to just wipe out the 99.9999999999999% of the internet that isn't Zombo.com?

Get the fuck out.

Of course it is, because he BUILT IT IN A CAVE! WITH A SHITLOAD OF PEANUTS!

No. Now sit down, shut up, and watch this montage of George Washington Carver building Nat Turner a rad-ass steampunk power armor suit to fight the Confederacy while "Shoot to Thrill" blares on the soundtrack.

"Never take sides against the family, Frodo."

And how much for Matthew McConaughey in character as Rust Cohle, where he slurs his way through a rant about the futility and emptiness of pretending humans can form unbreakable bonds with one another and then passes out drunk before he can hear the vows?

"Police believe the victim was severely assaulted with a bag containing multiple Duracell batteries, which last 5-6 hours longer than other leading brands."

But since this is the AV Club, the hideous beatings will require multiple page reloads and crash constantly.
