The fateful story of the first-ever Bauhaus demo

"‘Bela Lugosi Is Dead’ was the most hilarious song you’d ever imagine! An 11-minute soliloquy about Bela Lugosi! We did it seriously, and that was hilarious, too. I’d affect a vampire on stage and frighten people. It was incredibly funny.”

"Why do you care so much if people talk about skating like it's just vague prancing and tricks?"
Because I think art/sports/people's passions -what drives people to strive- should be celebrated, and the misogyny of dismissing a sport where women are as big of stars as men doesn't escape me.

McMaster University has posted the email written by the professor to Canadian figure skater Maddie Schizas, granting her an extension on her assignment.

What do you say to those who claim you’re not American?

Of all the easy things you can do to help the environment, conserve water for communities not corporations, not perpetuate scams, support the labor and rights of creators... *not* using generative AI is the fucking easiest. You absolutely deserve to be shamed for using it for image and text creation
