Marilyn Manson got crushed by a pretty pistol: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/01/arts ... ncert.html

He's fine. I just wanted to make that joke. It's pretty clear that stage prop wasn't secure, so it would seem one of the stage crew probably cut corners somewhere. Even if Manson was climbing around on shit he wasn't supposed to, the prop should have been able to hold.

AOL Instant Messenger is shutting down as of December 15, 2017, 20 years after it was brought online.

I remember using that way back when... when the internet had a dial up connection. Who else 'membas? Although I will admit, I thought it was shut down some time ago.

Looking at the bright side you'll make a lot of people laugh knowing how you died, and making people laugh is a great thing to do.

Leviathan-sized video rental stores are being rescued by turning them into nonprofits. Looks like this one won't have any trouble reaching its Kickstarter goal.

The shooting happened Thursday. [...] Deputies say he had a history of mental illness.


Mental illness + guns is a big NO in every country except the US.

The video doesn't play for me, but the article gives zero details on how he got the weapon or whether he was legally allowed to possess it.

I'm really hoping that he is sat down with Winona Ryder after this and they have a really long talk, since she's been through this in her career and she can get him the right contacts so it doesn't happen again.

This is NOT an Onion article. Can anyone verify its accuracy and that this isn't a colossal joke?

Osama Bin Laden was a Weeb. Or at the very least someone involved with him was.
Today, the CIA publically released nearly a half-million files recovered from Bin Laden’s hard drive. That includes Al-Qaeda correspondence, video files, propaganda, draft materials, and Bin Laden’s personal journal. It also includes loads of copyrighted materials, including films ranging from Antz to Resident Evil, loads of videogames, and a substantial collection of anime. Even Final Fantasy VII makes an appearence, with evidence of sequel movie Advent Children having been watched.

It seems Bin Laden - or whoever else used his computer - was a connoisseur of emulated DS titles

Even monstrous people are just people in the end. I suppose that should be slightly reassuring...

It's the exact opposite of reassuring for me.
