You were really nice when I met you, I also get really anxious about meeting people too, so I think we balanced each other out.

Both sides of a conflict are calling each other evil and corrupt, rendering me, a humble journalist, helpless to discern the truth. Best I can do is let you know that both sides are in fact saying those things. Hope this helps

Someone way smarter than me needs to write up a history as to why the Universal Monsters version of Frankenstein is so dramatically different from the source novel. I know the Dracula adaptation had the stage play to lean on.

So far TODAY Israel has:

- bombed Gaza City
- bombed Khan Younis
- shot and killed five Palestinians in Gaza City
- refused to open the Rafah border crossing
- announced they would once more block aid

This is what a "ceasefire" with Israel looks like. This is what it has always looked like.

As someone who sure as shit didn't vote for Trump, I don't consider myself an innocent bystander. Canadians have every right not to do business with a country whose govt is threatening violent annexation as a "joke."

We spent all last week with Trump whining about not getting a peace prize, because Obama got one almost 20 years ago

I have no idea how they're getting antisemitism from any of that, even when you squint. But it's Fox, so they'll just make it up.

I assume they're doing this on purpose to push the trade paperbacks at a better markup.

Not that any of the Universal Monster movies were overburdened by their source material, but I think the Wolf Man benefited most from being a wholly original screenplay.

They keep messing with the dimensions of mass market paperbacks in a way they makes them annoying and cumbersome to carry.

They keep coming back to the able-bodied men playing video games, when the elderly, disabled, and young pregnant women is exactly who they're targeting. They'll tighten the strings so much no one qualifies.

Pre-transition, he was a solid casting choice tbh. To say he's moved on from then is a bit of an understatement.

You know the day-to-day staff of Fenway is also pissed at this decision. I used to work in the same building and they're very dedicated people.

Fenway health in Boston has stopped providing gender affirming care to trans youth.

I was previously on the board of this organization and I've never been so disgusted with their leadership cowardly capitulating like this.

Alt text:
Statement from Fenway Health explaining that due to new federal requirements effective October 1, 2025, they can no longer provide medical gender-affirming care such as hormones and puberty blockers to patients under 19, but all other services for patients of all ages will continue unchanged.
