One of two recovered photographs from the Stirling City Library blaze. Notable for being taken the day which fourteen children vanished and for what is referred to as "The Slender Man". Deformities cited as film defects by officials. Fire at library occurred one week later.

i think a wide range of dinner times, like from 5 to 9 pm, are fine and normal, but if i'm just sitting down to lunch at 2 pm something has gone horribly wrong with my day to make that happen

Slotkin: the Democratic Party must purge the weak and woke and, well, I’m not gonna say it, okay I’ll say it, effeminate and gay parts of itself to become an alpha warrior eaglehawk party whose beliefs dominate the world

Weigel: what beliefs are those?

Nothing says 'contemporary software design' like an 'AI companion' tab you can't disable but which renders 1/3 past the window edge

The fact that some people think "worldbuilding" means "different geographic landscapes" explains so much about recent shows and movies

See you can't just say "America has fallen." You have to ease people into it, kindly. So when people ask how things are going you start out like "well, Trump went up on the roof today but I'm sure it will be okay. ".

Trump says undocumented immigrants do farm work "naturally" because "they don't get a bad back."

Mississippi's Declaration of Secession similarly said slavery must be protected because "by an impervious law of nature, none but the black race can bear exposure to the tropical sun."

to befriend a member of an aristocratic family and gradually insinuate myself into their lives before successively murdering them and assuming the life of luxury I always wanted, of course. why does anybody else go to university.
