    Goosebumps were an underrated entry point for young readers. Unabashed pulp fiction, with high stakes, where things did not always turn out okay in the end. As an elementary school kid, it really let me explore emotions and situations without the kid gloves that other children's media had.





  • Slasher villains who are seemingly killed but miraculously escape or come back to life. I think it deflates the stakes, especially for movies where the climax is the defeat of the villain. Most slasher flicks are actually pretty good about this, which makes it particularly off-putting when I see it in a modern movie.


  • Sun was removed from his position in 2022 after being investigated for his ties to China, a source told the Post on condition of anonymity.

    Details of the investigations remain unclear, but MD Anderson was among the first institutions to dismiss China-born researchers after warnings from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), one of their major funders, about potential theft of US scientific research.

    I don't know what's more sick:

    • treating medical science like it's stealth bomber blueprints
    • treating medical science like it's something to be owned and leveraged
