Catherine Chevalier as Rachel in Nightbreed.
She’s fantastic and both the film and her performance in it are nearly unknown. This is a movie worth seeking out if you’ve never seen it. It has a really, really different tone than movies made now, or even ones produced then. Like a lot of Clive Barker-invovled films, it’s grimy in a way that modern films just can’t seem to duplicate.

They don’t make them like that any more: the Yamaha DX7 keyboard.

Lead in gasoline tied to over 150 million excess cases of mental health disorders, study suggests.
Don’t notice or give a crap. The degree to which I do not care is like a black hole of non-concern.
Why men are obsessed with breasts, I literally cannot imagine.
And about the below, those incel-like women, I 100% know those women did not want me. They were just upset that if they had desired me, I would’ve turned them down. They didn’t like knowing that I wasn’t an option if they changed their mind.
A little understandable and a little fucked up at the same time. People are indeed strange.
Men why is society pushing so hard that if a man has standards it means he’s insecure?
That’s because women nearly completely control the dating market, and men having standards doesn’t benefit them individually or as a group. I have never in my life (outside of inhuman levels of bullying in rural North Florida) been as excoriated as I have when I’ve told women that I have a lot of standards that nearly no women meet.
Man, that pisses ’em off. I’ve even had friends get mad at me about that. I guess it’s an incel reaction but seen in a woman (where it looks a bit different).
My main, completely-inviolable standard is that I need someone intellectually close to my level. Otherwise, it’s not gonna work. And that automatically excludes 99.95% of humanity, but so what? The women included in that tend to be much more attracted to me than otherwise.
And no tattoos, of course. I mean, duh.
Cue long post from leftist idiots about how the Ukrainians both deserve this and if they’d just gone ahead and submitted to genocide, this never would’ve happened. Dumbasses.
It’s hard to think of a person who deserves to be assassinated more than the CEO of United Healthcare.
A good, justified death. Fuck that guy.
You might find this arrogant, but alas it’s actually true. It’d take 15-20 average Indian outsourced employees to replace me. And then the work would still be substandard compared to what I do.
And I think that’s true of most really good workers.
I love big-ass windmills, solar power installations glinting in the noon bright, Starlink satellites streaming across the sky.
It all means we are Getting. Shit. Done.
Best performance from an actor in horror in 2024?
Other people mention her in thread, but my vote is Nell Tiger Free in The First Omen. It is an otherwise mediocre movie that is worth watching because of Nell’s performance. She really just kills it.

There really are a whole lot of people that would have the Ukrainian people just calmly submit to genocide as it’s more peaceful.
I will never understand that mentality.
Ozempic did in fact demonstrate pretty conclusively that obesity was a failure of will — and not caused by chemicals, abundant foodstuffs or lack of walkability.
And that is something good to know.
The only people more wrapped up in toxic masculinity than men are women.
As AI infiltrates the world, the AI infection even alters those items AI has not touched directly. TV shows and music already shows signs of this corruption; vapid, stale insipid play-doh writing paves everything from background to horizon with gray concretions of intellectual blindsight. The direct effects are dwarfed by the shrapnel spalling out all around from the blast. McLuhan had no way to predict the effects of the subordination of the intellect to machine disequilibrium and paramnestic confabulations.
Thus, a darkness descends upon our minds as once again the machines exist not to serve us, but rather we become the tools of a will without Will and into dreaming descend, condemned by lack of vision to see only the permitted apparitions, to only explore the possibility space of the finitely computable.
