Ruthless Rhymes for Martial Militants. These conservative cartoons from ~1913 depicting angry suffragettes as brutal anarchafeminists were somehow actually supposed to make the subjects look bad, instead of amazingly badass.
The way Ianthe performs life-extending experiments on apples, the forbidden fruit, the original sin……sexy
rereading GtN is so funny. harrow goes missing and gideon flies into full panic mode, spends her whole morning desperately searching, says "ugh I give up, she can just die", eats lunch and then immediately recommits to searching again, dissociates out of stress when she learns Harrow's blood is everywhere, breaks her vow of silence to try and get help for Harrow, nearly breaks her wrists trying to open the door in panic, sprints her way down to Harrow, finds that she's okay and is immediately like
haha. as if i even cared. whatever
if you're aware of the Vulture article on Neil Gaiman, there's not much i can add; if you aren't and you go looking, my only advice is that if you hit a point where you're wondering if you should bail, do so, because the details of his behavior only get more vile as it goes along.
however, one thing i WILL say is to be on the lookout for smear campaigns against the sources and/or the journalist, Lila Shapiro, in the coming weeks and months. i cannot stress enough how brave this article is. if there's one thing more hazardous to your reputation than blowing up a rich and influential serial predator in the entertainment industry, it's making the church of scientology look bad, and she's managed to do both in one stroke. remember Lila Shapiro's name, and be extremely skeptical if it suddenly turns up later this year as the target of some slimy allegation.
When the days of the week on the calendar being "terrorist names" was going around I laughed because it was so, so ridiculously stupid. When a plate of dates was presented as "proof of terrorist activity" I looked at my own plate of dates and laughed. But the implications and the effect of those accusation, no matter how incredulously stupid they are, aren't funny in the slightest. I hate that our language is "proof" of terrorism. That a popular snack here is "proof". I hate that people believe anything tangentially related to being Arab is a sign of evil. I hate that whenever I see any recording containing Arabic in it, we scramble to translate it as quick as possible, not even to share information, but because we know if we're a second too late someone will put vile words in their mouths to dehumanize them and we need to beat them to the punch.

what the libcucks fail to understand is that this is a small price to pay for the end goal: an embedded HUD with unskippable advertisements in the margins of your eyesight
