Absolutely. And Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie is a BRILLIANT follow-up album. There are songs on there that have helped me deal with a shitty father, an abusive relationship, the nostalgia of relationships that were never going to go anywhere, finding strength in myself... It’s an album that takes the unbridled…

Her face, I’m guessing, is a result of gaining some weight after having cheek fillers and such added. It makes it all kind of weird and off-balance.

For the most part, definitely. But the variant covers are hit and miss - that Cordelia cover up there definitely looks like ‘Photoshopped red carpet head on a drawn body.’

Channel 4 in the UK had a documentary about adult babies years ago. It was fascinating and perplexing. Some, you could tell, were living childhoods they hadn’t gotten to experience because of childhood trauma. Some felt like a bizarre but legal subversion of paedophilia.

Hey, as someone raised in Columbus - we’re right there with you. At least, a lot of us. 

Because they don’t want to be seen as 1) backtracking, because they had originally gone along with the results and pushing Brexit forward and 2) not listening to “the people,” because the perceived majority of Leave voters were people that were once core to their vote - white, rural, working class.

Especially considering there are countless senior citizens who have never served, who happily vote for candidates that gleefully add to the defence budget and vote to put us into war.

The problem is, nobody really wants this to go through. The most prominent voices for Brexit were Johnson and Farage, one of whom has fucked off and the other of whom is Trump’s eager bootlick. Any enthusiasm died within the first six months as it became clear that the Leave campaign had been (surprise!) utterly full…

The article mentions that there were two wills - the legitimacy of one is in question, but there was at least one legitimate will. Unfortunately, it seems like it was vague and all-encompassing, and does little to nothing to speak of Gary’s actual intentions.

While I’m not giving her a free pass, sometimes survivors can end up projecting and refusing to believe other survivors because 1) it forces them to acknowledge what happened to them or 2) there’s an ingrained jealousy because one survivor has more people rallying around and believing them than they did. It’s shitty,…

It is! Well, it was when I worked there. Poor funding management meant that around the time I left, the island section had been closed off and the 2 streets were largely unmanned. It had a huge enough impact on me that I actually had my wedding in the island part. It was so much fun, even with Tem’poa interjecting…

I call bull on this fantasy - can you really imagine President Bone Spurs ever running?

Another part of the museum I worked in was amazing in that it was a super immersive “lost island” that kids had to awaken statues in by solving puzzles and such. The downside: the statues sang. I can still remember some of the songs 17 years later.

I worked in a museum where one area had the same street in 1898 and 1962. I far preferred working the 1898 side, where I could fuck with the Morse Code speaking raven and listen to the sound of horse hooves, over the repeat of about 3 Elvis songs. I still shudder when I hear Return to Sender. I hate it so much.

I’m seven episodes in and I adore this show. The characters themselves have so many layers to them, so much damage to unpack, that they could just spend the whole series playing Monopoly together and I’d still be fascinated.

Well, time to go listen to Gaelic Storm’s The Night I Punched Russell Crowe again.

And they all look like they’re using webcams from 2004.

I had the same experience when I first played through. Recently, I watched a Let’s Play to experience the game again, and I got some very satisfying schadenfreude watching the guy getting startled throughout. It’s a highly effective area to play through, and really ahead of its time honestly.

My biggest jump scare in Bioshock turned out to also be my biggest laugh. It was right after picking up Telekinesis. I was floating this teddy bear, marvelling at the new power... turned around to find a mook right behind me. Screamed and launched the bear at his face... and one shot him with it.

As someone who watches both, they’re nothing alike. In its fabric, it has more in common with the X-Men and Watchmen, in terms of being a collection of naturally superpowered children and former superheroes coming together once they’ve all grown up.
