Baby Carrots. You know, the small little carrots that your toddler devours. What if I told you Clay McLeod Chapman wrote an effective short story about...baby carrots; well, he did in his short story collection Acquired Taste. #MutantBookClub #MutantFam

Fantastic Four is mostly rubbish. Well made in parts, but nowhere near as kitsch as it needed to be to nail the golden age vibe it wanted. An absolutely wasted Ralph Ineson, and extremely ropey CGI detracts from an already flimsy story that feels like the finale to a five season long show. Boring.

I'm sorry
Mamdani campaign generator to say: Don't you swear at me, you little shit! Don't you EVER raise your voice at me! I am your mother! You understand? All I do is worry and slave and defend you, and all I get back is that fucking face on your face! So full of disdain and resentment and always so annoyed! Well, now your sister is dead! And I know you miss her and I know it was an accident and I know you're in pain and I wish could take that away for you. I WISH I could shield you from the knowledge that you did what you did, but your sister is dead! She's gone forever! And what a waste… if it could've maybe brought us together, or something, if you could've just said "I'm sorry" or faced up to what happened, maybe then we could do something with this, but you can't take responsibility for anything! So, now I can't accept. And I can't forgive. Because… because NOBODY admits anything they've done!

Hi, Ozymandias here,

Hope you're okay. I'm writing to submit my works, upon which I would love you to look. I would pitch them as a cross between ye mighty and despair.

If you like them, I can send the full colossal wreck, boundless and bare.

Please be aware I am submitting my works elsewhere.

Oct 27th - Daniel Challis asked the coroner's assistant for information on the man who set himself on fire after killing Harry Grimbridge.

📽️📅 Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982)
4 Screenshots from the movie "Halloween III: Season of the Witch" (1982): First, a coroner's office door is seen with a surgical light in the background, accompanied by the text "WEDNESDAY the 27th". Second, a man in a light blue shirt stands in a lab next to a woman seated at a microscope, with the subtitle "The man was in complete control. He looked like a businessman." Third, a close-up of the woman, with the subtitle "He had to be one strong businessman. I can tell you that." Fourth, the same woman continues, now with the subtitle "You don't pull someone's skull apart without a little lower arm strength. Know, what I mean?"
