i just do not seriously believe that you have a vested and politically sound interest in preventing sexual violence if your solution in any way relies on a criminal justice system so rife with sexual abuse that every usamerican over the age of 5 has heard and/or told a "don't drop the soap" joke

SOMEHOW I became convinced that The Pitt took place in a post zombie apocalypse world where human populations were divided into heavily defended cells (one of which was former pittsburg) and that it was focused on the lives of the people trying to live as normally as possible in these isolated cells, specifically people trying to keep the hospital going. I sometimes saw clips from the pitt and thought it was weird that nobody ever talked about the zombies and all the illnesses were so normal and not apocalypse related. Anyway apparently that is not correct.

the finale still hasn't aired so choosing to watch the rest like 'this is already so stressful what are they going to do when the zombies show up...'

When asked about how his music for Silent Hill strikes fear in players, Akira Yamaoka responded: “First and foremost is ‘irregularity.’ People are analog creatures… When things don’t happen as we expect, or when the rhythm breaks, we start to get very nervous… In short, I betray the user’s expectations.” In the game, as Yamaoka notes, individual loops of music contain irregular rhythms and sound events, most of which would defy accurate transcription with conventional Western notations for duration, pitch, and timbre. On a broader scale, however, several of the game’s tracks actually achieve an oppressive effect by repeating samples with unwavering regularity. Much of this music can be parsed into melodic and rhythmic cells lasting no longer than a few seconds each. These recycled noise fragments evoke a hellish labyrinth in which paths toward escape and resolution are persistently concealed or deferred.

I often comment on how blockbusters seem to be relying on Z-tier hallmark movie screenwriters lately and I guess the reason for this is maybe that the minecraft movie was like a sort of Normandy landing for screenwriters

have you listened to the podcast Malevolent? it's not strictly GOOD but it is often funny (it is intended to be a lovecraftiana noir set in the 1920s, and ostensibly a horror podcast) the production value is good and it's an entertaining show considering how limited the voice acting cast is. but mostly im asking because the protagonist seems like the kind of awful posh british guy who is insane that you enjoy

I haven't (iirc I lost interest in narrative fiction podcasts right around the time it premiered), but the way this ask ended is killing me.

NEW JERSEY FOLK / TRAMP ART MINIATURE HOUSE / MODEL, two-piece form with a removable roof, of finely executed form with elaborately notch-carved stacked designs with sawtooth edge profiles, depicting a late-Victorian house with a cupola at the peak of the roof, a strange screen-covered lower foundation section, and a fenced surround with a hinged gate and stairs leading to the door.
