I think in any horror film, the writers should know everything about the killers motivation and back story, even if they never tell the audience, ever.
Osgood Perkins answer to "The Monkey's" backstory works perfectly, though I hope other writers don't steal and use it as a cheat.

If Disney made a ride going through a warehouse of past props and set pieces with just some basic lighting I'd ride it whenever possible. Do you hear that, Iger?

Almost! The subscription price was just a pittance compared to the ad dollars. Most papers likely could have survived by being free, but having a nominal fee proved to advertisers that the paper was a product people valued and this worth advertising in.

True BUT the fact that right wing news has been able to dominate in part because its free is something that needs to be addressed.

No, I kept being spammed by folks who didn't have anything in their portfolio remotely like what I was clearly seeking, or they asked to DM me. Shady!

Shelters are closing this week and I don’t know what the plan is for people who are still displaced from the fires. I’m afraid this will fall out of the news cycle long before the need for help is gone.

The bulk of available help is so incredibly temporary (or delayed)

A memo listing all of the clubs eliminated by USMA.

A memo listing all of the clubs eliminated by USMA.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

The Trump administration has placed two top security chiefs at the U.S. Agency for International Development on leave after they resisted turning over classified material in restricted areas to Elon Musk’s staffers. America, please stand with usβ€”we are fighting to defend this country!
