Sylvia, 42, lives in a fun little bunker in the heart of Evanston, where cats dine on the windowsill and Beetle in the Anthill and VALIS - two books she was reading while working on Mortal Kombat 1 - sit on her Aunt Mary's old coffee table. She collects VHS tapes, like a Devo song brought to life.

Don't threaten me with a good time
Over on twitter there are people throwing fits about the very real, very credible threat of 'forcefem matriarchy'. This is great.

Parents, please check your kids’ candy this Halloween. I’ve just found an ancient metal whistle with the inscription “QUIS EST ISTE QUI VENIT" inside a Snickers bar. I blew it and heard a note of infinite distance, and now I’m haunted by a figure in pale, fluttering draperies. Be safe.

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it?
If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say?

People of Illinois, we need your help.
Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.
We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

A very big Onion announcement:
The Onion has spent the last two months working on a masterpiece.
It's a documentary titled Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile.
It's so good, in fact, we were set to release it in theatres nationwide on October 2nd.
Then two weeks ago, Charlie Kirk was shot.

Let's be clear: no one should be taking medical advice from the man who told Americans to inject bleach.
To moms worried about the Tylenol they took while pregnant: you deserve better than being RFK Jr's scapegoat.
And to the autism community: you are loved exactly as you are.

In the late 80s-90s there was an absolute explosion of dudes falling into vats of chemicals in media. This was a prophecy. I feel the most recent round of deregulation is ensuring the absolute Tromafication of America.
