Tim Curry was a 20-something stage actor living in London in the seedy, sex-drenched 1970s when he auditioned for a new B-movie musical called “The Rocky Horror Show.” In a new interview, Curry discusses the cult classic, David Bowie, Studio 54, and more. http://nyer.cm/Z9RkgrI

“Ratio me please. It’s a badge of honor”? Just for saying someone who is awful is good? No thank you, too desperate, too easy. Real posters get ratioed for real posts like how if Fat Bastard from Austin Powers actually ate a baby he needs to go to jail.

ICYMI: A brown bear in Hokkaido, well known to locals as the “Mother of Iwaobetsu," was normally calm. After being fed by tourists, her behavior changed. On August 14, 2025, she attacked and killed a 26-year-old hiker on Mt. Rausu.

A sad story from Hokkaido illustrates how tourist behavior altered the disposition of a bear that came to view humans as food.

I get that doomerism is bad, but what's worse are the idiots who keep pushing the stupidest political ideas ever, lose, and then do it again while pretending that's virtuous and not insanity.

it’s great how any time you say “kamala” on this app random people pop up to do lib denialist bullshit like we didn’t all witness “i’m speaking now” or the parade of dnc-goers plugging their ears. or the thousands of anti-genocide activists @ the dnc. or the surge in support, killed on purpose, or—

i plainly reported that kamala was losing favor with voters she needed to prevent us from plummeting straight into fascism, and that she needed to pivot back to them instead of dnc donors, and i got my shit kicked in by dems for it. now i’m at risk of serious harm by fascists for doing journalism.

The longer it takes to crash, the worse it's going to be. The bubble keeps getting bigger while the fundamentals keep looking worse. Everyone knows that this is unsustainable.

The world economy has held up much better than expected this year despite the chaos triggered by Donald Trump's tariffs. But the biggest tests have yet to come

World Economy Faces Triple Risk of Tariffs, AI Bubble and Soaring Debt

The world economy has so far withstood the biggest barrage of US tariffs since the 1930s as American consumers continued to spend, companies absorbed higher costs and an AI boom fueled a new breed of animal spirits.

These assholes genuinely think Kamala's stupid book tour is worth more than Palestinian lives. And they're proud of it.

She CHOSE to become closer to him, rather than win.

If you are angry at those who didn't vote for Harris over the genocide, rather than her for handing the country to Trump, you don't value Palestinian lives.

There's probably a whole lot of other marginalized groups you don't value, either.

I remain in a very tight situation much, so I'm asking for some help. I hate to keep sharing this and hope that it will pass soon. Oh do I ever.

Thank you so much to those who've helped! Anything means everything, and I appreciate you very much.

just found out that about a week ago, while george santos has been in solitary confinement, that he wrote that due to the inhuman conditions he is facing he is now pro prison reform. just unreal stuff honestly

Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, I paced in circles like a restless ghost.
The windows were frosted, allowing only a faint suggestion of daylight and nightfall, enough to remind me that time was passing, though I had little sense of how.
The shower water was always cold, and my only amenities were the steel toilet and sink fused together in the corner. It was a miserable existence. Yet, as I soon learned, misery can always be deepened
On September 7th, the warden's office saw fit to move me into something far worse, an even smaller cell, no more than seven by nine feet, coated in filth, reeking of neglect, and utterly devoid of natural light or ventilation.
In that suffocating shoebox, there is no room to walk, no hint of the sun, no trace of humanity. The silence is crushing.
The air feels stale. The walls themselves seem to close in. I keep asking myself: will this barbaric confinement ever end? Is this legal under our Constitution, or have I simply been erased from the protections of due process?
Most haunting of all, will I survive it? With no access to my family, no calls, no emails, and with letters that may never leave this building, I live in total darkness, cut off from the world I once fought to serve.
Let me be blunt: I find Warden Kelly's so-called "protection" not only unpalatable, but cruel and unjustifiable. My time here has opened my eyes to a truth far too many ignore: America desperately needs prison reform.

The weirdest thing about the Elvira games is how bad all the walkthroughs are. They either forget to tell you certain things and one author was mad about having to play Elvira's boyfriend in the second game, based on her "type" from the first movie! Come on, we gotta focus guy, it's a walkthrough.
