Serial killer should really be a spectrum.

The dot as it is just means “serial killer with bad aim”.

What is happening in the third panel?

Every day I don’t give 110 percent in exchange for… the same amount of paycheck.

Not a show, but a book and a movie adaptation: Interview with A Vampire is actually about Anne Rice’s daughter.

I was a sad, broken and despairing atheist when I wrote ‘Interview with the Vampire’ [in 1973, after the death of her daughter from leukaemia]. I pitched myself into writing and made up a story about vampires. I didn’t know it at the time but it was all about my daughter, the loss of her and the need to go on living when faith is shattered. But the lights do come back on, no matter how dark it seems, and I’m sensitive now, more than ever, to the beauty of the world – and more resigned to living with cosmic uncertainty.

Vampires are the best metaphor for the human condition Here you have a monster with a soul that’s immortal, yet in a biological body. It’s a metaphor for us, as it’s very difficult to realise that we are going to die, and day to day we have to think and move as though we are immortal. A vampire like Lestat in Interview… is perfect for that because he transcends time – yet he can be destroyed, go mad and suffer; it’s intensely about the human dilemma.

*Parks my car cross-wise in front of yours, blocking you in.*

Yes. They technically are.

That would be useful. I’ll look for it.

Yea, the teeth bit was mean spirited and unnecessary.

I don’t mind sass from leadership. It’s leagues better than sanitized corpo-speak.

Sass doesn’t have to be mutually exclusive from professionalism, but it is a fine line to walk.

I disagree, but that may be because I’m used to how Tantacrul videos go.

He’s usually sassy like this, and the Weaver Beats video was made in bad faith.

I expect class from Idris Elba, not from the guy running a contentious open source project.

If anything, this is the upper end of what I expect from open source leadership.

Whose response are you talking about here?

I asked if it was literally true (as in proven, documented, a known fact).

Not if he was very probably, highly likely, the most suspicious ever, the first person you would point at if anyone asked who in this room fucked someone underage.

Yes, he should be behind bars and investigated.

No, as far as we know, it’s not literally true. (Probably true, though.)

I want to be a fly in the wall for that conversation.

A fly with a bucket of popcorn.

It’s manually identifying the timestamps that’s tedious.

Does Greenshot screen record or just screen shot?

They colluded to say I lost

I retroactively absolve of your sin. Those two girls absolutely were being toilets.

For me, the struggle is the opposite: chapterizing older, single file audiobooks.

The books and furniture in this House were not made out of Stone. 7/10

Is this a real and stupid, non-functional set of stairs?

Or did someone create a cool/definitely impractical staircase where the second flight is on hinges and you lift it up to access the middle floor?

(Edit: I say this because the second flight looks like it’s made of wood and maybe not entirely fixed to the floor.)

Is this a commentary on that Stephen King movie?

There’s plenty of solid arguments we could make against him, especially about his predatory behavior, but I don’t think this should be one of them.

The claim is muddy at best.

And if a fence-sitter actually follows up on it, this is the kind of thing that could be used as an excuse for them to go full-MAGA.

Recent claims that new documents prove the validity of the Johnson claims are false, because these documents are from 2016 and have nothing to do with what have become known as the “Epstein docs.”

Viral claims that Trump has a history of sexually assaulting children first emerged with the Johnson lawsuits in 2016. Pictures of court documents related to the case have lent perceived credibility to additional unsourced claims of child abuse that followed, and memes frequently combine the two claims.

Such claims are not new, come with several red flags and originated with an aggressive push by a serial fabulist.
