Poster for THE FLESH EATERS (1964) I love the poster's promise/threat that the movie will leave you "STERILIZED with FEAR".

Good morning, you nasty Canadians!!!! ☀️☕️🤷🏻‍♂️😆🇨🇦

Canadians, don’t just commit to voting in this federal election. We must volunteer. It can be fun! Advocacy and community involvement is fulfilling and connects you — antidote to despair and isolation. Behind-the-scenes & public-facing roles, from folding brochures to door knocking.

If you live abroad and have even an inkling of a thought about traveling to the United States, STOP.....forget about it. If your skin is anything but "Casper" white, it's not worth the risk.

The United States is no longer a nation under the rule of law. I urge Canadians to avoid travel. Illegal detentions and kidnapping by ICE have become all too common for travellers and those with working VISAs. Stay away at this time. boingboing.net/2025/03/20/d...

Canada, take note and place memory in file labelled, "Trump". I see a future in which Trump makes such a request of Canada.

The mistake made by most pro-"AI" academics is not listening to the chuds who make + market "AI," because if they did they'd grasp that these people hate teachers and everything we're trained to do for/with other people. They are not experimenting, open-minded academics like you--they are wreckers.

Where Evil Dwells (1985) Nightmarish super 8 Cinema of Transgression short based on a real life 1980s Long Island murder case involving Judas Priest, Satanism and copious amounts of LSD Directed by Tommy Turner and David Wojnarowicz I saw it at MoMA so you know it's classy

I watched this video while eating my breakfast and I'm pretty sure it broke my reality for the whole day.

Poster for THE MONSTER WALKS (1932)

Has anyone written about the closure of small local papers and the impact on white people from the lens of political polarization/misinformation? Like yes old, traditional news was not perfect and we need to rebuild but also curious about research on that piece as well?

more and more convinced that when liberals say leftists called too many conservatives fascists for too long and wore the word out, they’re reacting to their own guilt about having failed to diagnose the problem sooner

THIS. "What we were missing, and what many social-good founders are missing, is moral competence. If you want to do good, you actually have to help people. Merely attempting to help people is not enough." Evan J. Conrad – Moral Competence evanjconrad.com/posts/moral-...

Current Read: Stag Dance by Torrey Peters. I'm fairly new to translit, but what I've read seems to be untethered to a lot of the assumptions cis folk make about what relationships between characters could/should be and that's quite refreshing.

Cons are still playing axe the tax ads. The tax was axed. This pivot is going to be interesting to watch.

Prehistoric people may have used throwing spears to hunt large animals 300,000 years ago – and perhaps as much as 2 million years ago.

I'm a broken record on this so I'll just say again that you should take every opportunity to [if you can] gather with other people who are trying to do constructive things in the world. Attend the zine fairs, the craft circles, the workshop sessions, food distros, people's assemblies, all of it.

In the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, a cloud of super-heated ash and gas exploded the brain of one Herculaneum resident and turned fragments of it into a form of glass.

This is a really great piece, and I just don't know why any literate person can't grasp it innately.

I hear it’s good on their jellyfish stings

Gorgeous images of Mars and its moon Deimos here from ESA space mission Hera. Hera is travelling to a distant asteroid that NASA smashed a spacecraft into back in 2022, to inform a future asteroid shield system. So these are just a real bonus. www.newscientist.com/article/2472...

Just the cutest little swamp puppy. Alligator prenasalis, an Eocene friend from more than 33 million years ago. In those warmer times, alligators were much more widespread. This particular reptile lived in what’s now South Dakota. 🐊 🧪

Imagine someone working with Trump asking other people to tone down the rhetoric. Is he a fool who doesn't know who his boss is or a weasel who knows but thinks it's ok to gaslight other nations?

Kiss Me Monster (1967) Written and directed by Jesus Franco

A little good news from the states, because we always get the bad news and we deserve better.

Well, if he really wants to punch himself in the face, he's welcome to do it. Especially funny because all Canadian electricity will also include Québec.
