It's from a scene in Baby Driver where a guy misunderstands getting Michael Myers masks for a robbery, he gets Austin Powers masks from the comedian Michael Myers instead of the bleached William Shatner mask the killer Michael Myers wears in the Halloween movies
Where else am I supposed to keep it
Some from the past few years (let's say 2015+) I enjoyed:
Jordan Peele's Get Out is terrifying and good for a rewatch
Skinamarink - worked really well as a scare for some but not at all for others, check the premise before watching but I really got into it
Joe Bob did a tribute to Roger Corman that was really fun
Hellboy: the crooked man - not as big world ending stories as the other Hellboy movies, but the self contained stories were usually the most fun in the comics and this feels similar
A24 had some big titles that have a few scares but mostly go for more of a suspenseful dread, the witch, midsommar, heredity
Halloween ends was objectively terrible but I still enjoyed it, but I enjoyed most of the Halloween movies for either good low budget scares or the off the rails stories they wrap around Michael Myers
The dead don't die and what we do in the shadows for some good horror comedy. Mayhem with directors commentary is hilarious.
How much land is Trump willing to surrender if Russia invades the US?
Disclaimer: I have no horse in this race, I don't hunt or care to start hunting and if recreational hunting is more detrimental to sustained ecosystems than other tactics then it should be replaced, I'm more concerned with using good, reliable information to form conclusions
The first and third link doesn't appear to link to any citations or data to support it's claims, so I think it's fair to treat it as an option piece but I think we should have better standards when making decisions that can affect our stewardship of the world around us
The second is quite long but from what I can gather it is the best of the 4 in that it is based on a survey of peer reviewed research and makes a good thorough case against a subset of recreational hunting, specifically trophy hunting, as unethical.
The last link says overabundance is not a scientific term used in the scientific literature, but I can clearly see it is in many widely cited research papers (two usages, one in linguistics and one in biology)

And in the additional resources section there's a few broken links and the closest I can find to a peer review article is a letter to the editor of a journal, not identified as a peer reviewed article and without public access to the methodology if it contains one

Being a public figure and using that platform to compare the imagined or self inflicted hardships of republicans in the US to Jewish people in the holocaust should get you fired unless you want to work with Nazi sympathisers.

It's cult tactics cynical manipulators in those unmoderated spaces use to indoctrinate young adults and kids to exploit and groom. They target kids who don't have defenses to their tactics yet, either their education didn't yet include how to critically evaluate evidence & propositions or they just weren't mentally ready for that responsibility before engaging with predators. They want to seem edgy and offer truths on topics the kids' parents or teachers may not be willing to engage with to draw them in to appear like they have some knowledge or power to offer other than just hate and anger.

Alphacross is pretty good for crosswords but it looks like they don't let you add your own sources which is a bummer and a couple sources have circled letters in puzzles that don't show up that can make it a little janky
