Not sure anything could have prepared me for how horny Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu is, even after I was repeatedly warned. Needless to say I thought it was incredible, on par with Bram Stoker’s Dracula- and you know it takes a lot for me to say that.

I had to pass a German reading comprehension test for both my BS in Chemistry and PhD in Chemical Physics. Germany was the dominant player in Science until fascism.

RFK Jr. should resign. Any healthy Democratic Party would demand it right now. Any public health apparatus of value would demand it right now. We are leaderless in government and academia. America is a fucking death cult

“Oh you want to give land back? You first, give them your house!”
Like first of all do I look like a homeowner, second of all THAT’S NOT WHAT LAND BACK MEANS YOU DING DONG
