Watched the Frankenstein movie on Netflix last night.

Got called weird by a coworker today, after I told him I have never watched a TV show with the word ‘celebrity’ in it.
TBH, I like being weird.

Watched a Skyrim clip earlier and now I want to fire it up and start it all over again.

X isn't just a renamed Twitter.

It's a fully-weapoinized extreme right-wing information warfare machine, and everyone that's still using it is an absolute fucking moron that's complicit in making it a success.
