Photo of a vintage book cover featuring Dracula dropping gold coins onto his pile of gold coins, he’s smiling as he clearly is a greedy individual. A full skeleton lays on the pile of gold, perhaps it is one of his girlfriends. A naked woman looms in the background for some reason. Copy and title read:

HOW DID DRACULA GET RICH?

Selling Frankenstein’s Feet Pix Online
By Herman Baldsack

Dracula made a fortune off of Frankenstein's feet without his permission and he is a disgusting piece of garbage for that

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

ICE is not only chasing down every random brown person in Chicago, they have a cameraman following them to film this for social media. Cruelty and inhumanity as content.

i'm not sure how you can claim to cover things fairly and fully when you're using the bootleg name that is officially only a "secondary name" for the department

I am Black American. My people were enslaved, segregated, and degraded for hundreds of years. There was a time when it was considered politically untenable to abolish slavery and legally dismantle Jim Crow. It got done. So, yes, a free Palestine is a political possibility. It is inevitable.

fucking hell, a dream job - if I wasn't so hateful of how this industry treats its workers, I'd be trying to find a way to become a games writer given my current lack of employment.

There are too many rich white people who've had no challenges in life working in media...is a thought I had when one of them was saying recently they appreciate how Bari Weiss challenges their perspective. Babe, most folks don't need that, it doesn't make you open-minded and intellectually curious.

She just deduced a suspect is stealing because his wife is pregnant, and used this deduction to de-escalate a situation with the suspect. Omg, I have a new favourite video game character.

Omg: Ghost of Yotei has an elderly lady friend character, Huci, who “sees things others don’t” by figuring out clues in crime scenes - it’s her being a naturally gifted detective. She’s Miss Marple in 17th century Japan 😭

Really great breakdown of the six playable clans for BLOODLINES 2 (made before they they unlocked all 6 as playable in the base game). Trying to decide between Banu Haqim and Ventrue, as stealth and cleverness are my go to style 🤔

I had no idea Arnie auditioned for Kyle Reese, but had such incredible insight into the killer robot, Cameron told him during a lunch break to try it. Seriously: I had never considered these aspects of a killer robot until Arnie here articulated it.
