If you want an accurate visual interpretation of Frankenstein just download Junji Ito's manga of it

I'm sorry @midnightpals.bsky.social but Mary Shelley is going to have to have a word with GDT about using a Byron quote at the end of his Frankenstein film

Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?

It might be my lack of moral scruples but I truly love people like Joyce Carol Oates and Azealia Banks who sometimes post things I find repugnant but then come out with a total banger in a way that I just have to stan

Being anti-Trump is not left-wing bias, it is simply being pro-democracy

Looks like if the government want to change the downfall of the BBC particularly the news department they'd need to force the entire board to resign

About once a year Joyce Carol Oates brings me unbridled joy through her tweets and no matter what other opinions she has I am grateful for that

Oates: [slides shimkomi-zoe between ribs] you seem totally uneducated, uncultred
Oates: [yanks upward] the poorest person on twitter may have more beauty & meaning in life than the most wealthy person in the world
Mary Shelley: holy shit
Shelley: brutal

Difficult to know what to think about the BBC resignations. The mistake was careless and heads definitely should have rolled, but what comes next? Lots of talk about someone shaking things up but we don't want to end up with a UK Bari Weiss in charge of BBC News

This is how I felt watching The Roses. They die hating each other has pathos. They die after having made up because of an accident, meaningless and manipulative attempt to make you feel sorry for them

GUILLERMO DEL TORO & MIKE FLANAGAN: Well...we think maybe the classic horror novel should be different...

STANLEY KUBRICK: You think "maybe" it should be different. How do you think "maybe" it should be different?

DEL TORO & FLANAGAN: ...a nicer ending?

KUBRICK: a NiCeR eNdiNg???

Nowadays, the test for if you're actually left wing is so simple: Are you regularly posting on twitter? Then you're not left wing.

The Sunday Telegraph featuring 'left-wing' Sonia Sodha.

Sodha currently writes for The Times, or was until the end of October.
Corporation captured by minority ideology, says Left-wing writer The Sunday Telegraph9 Nov 2025By Aaron Newbury Sonia Sodha said that the BBC ‘is not representing the views of the British public’ THE BBC has been “captured by a minority ideology” on gender that does not represent the views of the British public, a Left-wing writer has said. Sonia Sodha, who has written for The Guardian and The Observer newspapers, said The Telegraph’s recent revelations of apparent bias at the BBC were “pretty strong”, adding that recent reports were a concern “not just to people on the Right, like Boris Johnson or Nigel Farage”, but also the Left. On Friday, The Telegraph revealed the BBC’s “gender and identity correspondent” tried to stop coverage of a campaigning organisation that was trying to protect single-sex spaces for women. Ms Sodha, a former adviser to Ed Milliband, said she was a “constructive friend of the BBC”, but said she was con- cerned about the broadcaster’s behaviour, in particular that of its Editorial Complaints Unit (ECU). It emerged this week that the ECU upheld a number of complaints against presenter Martine Croxall after she refused to refer to pregnant women as “pregnant people” during a news broadcast, in which she also appeared to roll her eyes. It was reported on Friday that the BBC’s own staff were amongst those complaining against Croxall. Ms Sodha said: “So I am a friend of the BBC, I like to think of myself as a constructive friend. I am a believer in public service broadcasting. So it’s not just people on the Right like Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage that are worried about this. I think if you look at an issue like sex and gender, I am a journalist who has written about it a lot from a Leftwing perspective. I do think that the accusations of bias are pretty strong.

It's just occurred to me that a bit like Hitchcock's Vertigo leading to generations of misunderstanding what Vertigo is, The Devil Wears Prada has caused a generation to think cerulean is a teal colour because people associate it with the two belts but the cerulean speech is about Andy's blue top

I tried to whistle over a stray cat in my neighborhood and a woman walked by, who I worried thought I whistled at her. So I said “im whistling at the cat” but when I looked back down at it I realized it was just an old fast food bag

Does this mean there's now a legal precedent that throwing sandwiches at law enforcement/ICE etc is legal?

Omg, my harmless conspiracy theory that the reason cats looked like that in medieval paintings is just because that's just how cats used to look finally has evidence to back it up!
