Morrissey brings tears to my eyes when he sings β€œI am human…”. Such an anguished cry of emotion, when nowadays all he’d have to do is click on a few pictures of motorcycles.

Had a dream that my mother decided after all this time to rename me, and she gave me the new name "Glenn Allen Burke."

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some serial killing to do.

I'm of two minds when it comes to people sharing AI videos. On the one hand go fuck yourself, but on the other hand drop dead and burn in Hell.

I liked Del Toro's FRANKENSTEIN, but I wish he'd left in the scenes where the creature works in a funeral parlor, then comes home to his wife and son in the suburbs.
