I wonder what happens when a monsters who never looked human (example Ricardo) is fired

Because (as of the 4th comic) all of the people that have been fired have been human at one point (zombie, vampire, mummy) and we only seem to see humans in the level -9

K, I've been thinking abt this question for far too long (partially because I couldn't for the life of me remember who Ricardo was oops) ((that's him by the way))

Sooo I think it doesn't really matter if some monsters don't look humanoid enough or if we haven't seen them as humans, because the whole premise of the comic suggests that they were all human until they either sold their soul to the devil by some sin or were unfortunate enough to be killed inside the park.

So that's why on -9 we can only see humans I think. All of the monsters transform back to the human form once they've been fired. Either this or it's a plothole, choose your fighter :D

As Thousands Cheer

ABOVE: Broadway's As Thousands Cheer (1933) featured evangelist Aimee Semple McPherson (Helen Broderick) trying to persuade Mahatma Gandhi (Clifton Webb) to end his hunger strike and join her act. (NYPL) Broadway gave Depression audiences a lift with As Thousands Cheer, a revue featuring satirical sketches that skewered the lives and affairs of the rich and famous and served as a precursor to…

Ben Whishaw (“Paddington”) and “Happy Valley’s” Sarah Lancashire are set to join Keira Knightley in Netflix’s upcoming spy series “Black Doves,” Variety can exclusively confirm.

More details about the series, which was written and created by “The Lazarus Project” showrunner Joe Barton, have also emerged.

A story of friendship and sacrifice, “Black Doves” is set during Christmastime in London. It revolves around Helen Webb (Knightley), a politician’s wife, doting mother — and professional spy. For years, Helen has been passing on her husband’s secrets to the Black Doves, the shadowy organization for whom she works. But when her lover Jason is assassinated, Helen’s life is turned upside down and only her old friend Sam Young (Whishaw) can keep her safe.

Helen and Sam set out to discover who killed Jason and why. But Sam, a suave, champagne-drinking assassin, also has problems of his own. Out of the game since his last job went wrong, he soon realizes his past is coming back to haunt him.

“Together, they set off on a mission that will lead them to uncover a vast, interconnected conspiracy,” reads the logline. “One that links the murky underworld of London to a looming geopolitical crisis — and leads them to question the cost of the moral choices they’ve made.”

Lancashire will play Helen’s enigmatic spymaster Reed.

Joining Knightley and Whishaw in the six-part series, which began shooting in London last week, are Andrew Buchan (“Carnival Row”), Omari Douglas (“It’s A Sin”), Andrew Koji (“Warrior”), Kathryn Hunter (“Andor”), Sam Troughton (“Chernobyl”), Ella Lily Hyland (“Fifteen Love”), Adam Silver (“The Diplomat”), Ken Nwosu (“Look the Other Way and Run”) and Gabrielle Creevy (“In My Skin”).

“I started writing the scripts for this show over last year’s Christmas holidays, fuelled by turkey sandwiches and discarded bottles of cream liquor,” said Barton. “To be now going into production with a cast and crew full of people whose work I admire so much is unbelievably exciting and I couldn’t be more thrilled to get to see this show come to life.”

“Black Doves” is produced by Joe Barton’s Noisy Bear and Elizabeth Murdoch-founded Sister (“Chernobyl”) for Netflix. Barton exec produces for Noisy Bear alongside Jane Featherstone (“This Is Going To Hurt”) and Chris Fry (“Giri/Haji”) for Sister and Keira Knightley. The series is directed by Alex Gabassi (“The Crown”) and Lisa Gunning (“The Power”). Harry Munday (“Kaos”) is producing.

CERULEAN SEA HAS A SEQUEL

I REPEAT

THE HOUSE IN THE CERULEAN SEA BY TJ KLUNE HAS A SEQUEL

It’s called ‘Somewhere Beyond the Sea’ and it’s Arthur’s perspective, life, and the events following Cerulean Sea. Here is the summary from Macmillian (Tor Book’s distributor):

“A magical house. A secret past. A summons that could change everything.

Arthur Parnassus lives a good life built on the ashes of a bad one.

He’s the master of a strange orphanage on a distant and peculiar island, and he hopes to soon be the adoptive father to the six dangerous and magical children who live there.

Arthur works hard and loves with his whole heart so none of the children ever feel the neglect and pain that he once felt as an orphan on that very same island so long ago. He is not alone: joining him is the love of his life, Linus Baker, a former caseworker in the Department In Charge of Magical Youth. And there’s the island’s sprite, Zoe Chapelwhite, and her girlfriend, Mayor Helen Webb. Together, they will do anything to protect the children.

But when Arthur is summoned to make a public statement about his dark past, he finds himself at the helm of a fight for the future that his family, and all magical people, deserve.

And when a new magical child hopes to join them on their island home—one who finds power in calling himself monster, a name that Arthur worked so hard to protect his children from—Arthur knows they’re at a breaking point: their family will either grow stronger than ever or fall apart.

Welcome back to Marsyas Island. This is Arthur’s story.

Somewhere Beyond the Sea is a story of resistance, lovingly told, about the daunting experience of fighting for the life you want to live and doing the work to keep it.”

Its publishing date is September 10th of this year, and you can preorder it from most everywhere you buy books!!

The Kitten Twins by Elizabeth Webbe (1960)

[abwwia]

Barbara Stanwyck (/ˈstænwɪk/; born Ruby Catherine Stevens; July 16, 1907 – January 20, 1990) was an American actress, model and dancer.

#BarbaraStanwyck pinged hard for her lesbian fans, even in movies where she had to pretend to be in love with a dude.

A gay actor named Clifton Webb, who played her husband in Titanic, called Stanwyck “my favorite American lesbian.” 

“Stanwyck’s screen characters defined themselves on their own terms,” writes Axel Madsen in The Sewing Circle: Female Stars Who Loved Other Women. “Stanwyck was emotionally honest, and the way she related to men was different.” 

She was deeply closeted, burying her secret underneath her well-defined and daunting career ambitions and a really shitty but relatively brief marriage to a gay vaudeville star that inspired the film A Star is Born. 

She ultimately spent thirty years with her publicist Helen Ferguson.

Alleged relationships & lovers: Joan Crawford, Marlene Dietrich, Helen Ferguson, Tallulah Bankhead

[religion-is-a-mental-illness]

By: Charlie Walsham

Published: Apr 12, 2024

What must it feel like to realise you are part of an organisation that has placed so-called progressive values ahead of evidence, risking real-world harms to countless vulnerable young people?  

In the wake of the publication of the Cass review into gender identity services for under-18s in England, I know exactly how that feels. No, I’ve not been moonlighting for the now defunct Tavistock clinic: I work as a journalist for BBC News.

Regrettably, I believe there is a straight line between the BBC’s capitulation to extreme trans rights ideologues and the disturbing findings in Dr Hilary Cass’s 388-page report.

Crucially, what Dr Cass has exposed was only able to happen because of a skewed and distorted national conversation around the issue of sex and gender, a narrative I believe aided by the nation’s broadcaster. Dissenting voices have been marginalised, castigated, cancelled, silenced.

Well before Dr Cass got to work, BBC employees started putting their preferred pronouns in their email signatures. Given the increasingly polarised political debate over self-ID, these virtue-signalling postscripts made a mockery of the BBC’s neutral remit; they also exerted an unspoken pressure on colleagues who resisted this posturing.

When Dr Cass began her work in 2020, after an alarming spike in the number of gender-questioning patients being referred to the NHS, mainly teenaged girls, what was the BBC doing? Was it providing an evidence-based corrective counterweight to the toxic trans extremist narrative gaining traction online?

Nope. As children spent even more time on screens thanks to the Covid-19 restrictions and school closures, the BBC Teach website was hosting an educational film in which young children were told there were over 100 gender identities.

As Dr Cass tried in vain to wrest data from the uncooperative Tavistock clinic to assist her work, the BBC was doubling down on its adherence to the cultish self-ID doctrine, depicting in news reports sadistic male murderers and devious rapists as women so as not to offend these odious men; victims be damned. This approach by a news organisation on any topic, let alone a hugely disputatious issue, looks like pure propaganda.

Despite having a well-funded Verify department, the BBC has made no attempts to set out the cold, hard scientific reality that modern medicine has found no way of changing a healthy biological male human into a woman, or vice versa. 

Neither has the BBC’s Disinformation and Social Media Correspondent ever tried to interrogate the often-aired claim that ‘trans women are women’, a favourite slogan of the charity Stonewall, which the BBC was closely affiliated with as recently as late 2021.

Even simply looking the other way was not enough for the BBC. Instead, it signalled what looked like a complete abandonment of accuracy on the trans issue when it upheld a complaint against the Today programme’s Justin Webb for daring to say that trans women are ‘in other words, males’.

Now, thanks to the diligent and courageous work of Dr Hilary Cass, the BBC has been forced to reflect on its sins of commission and omission, and platform some sane voices on the subject.

On the day of her review’s publication, Radio 4’s Today programme broadcast an interview with Dr Cass. With the measured and level delivery one would expect of a respected clinician, she detailed some of her shocking findings, from the rocketing number of troubled teenage girls seeking gender dysphoria treatment to the fact there is no good evidence puberty blockers are a safe treatment for young people wishing to transition.

She refused to opine on whether her review had uncovered a scandal. The author Helen Joyce was far less reticent when, nearly three years after publication of her book, Trans: When Ideology Meets Reality, she was finally invited on to the BBC to talk about the issue.

She told the 5 Live breakfast programme the report was: ‘A stinging indictment of the NHS, of the regulators in healthcare, the politicians and the media, including the BBC… all of whom have looked away as a medical scandal unfolded with vulnerable children at its heart.’

In a move characteristic of the intellectual level of 5Live debates however, Joyce was only allowed to speak after listeners had been subjected to the views of former Big Brother contestant and transgender celebrity Hallie Clarke. Clarke declaimed she had always known that she ‘wasn’t in the right body’ because she used to dress up in ‘blonde wigs’ and wore pink as a young child.

Nicky Campbell was up next on 5Live, hosting his weekday phone-in. It soon became clear that there was relief among callers that the BBC was finally waking up and smelling the coffee. One mother told Campbell how her daughter’s school had connived with the youngster, who began questioning her gender after being ‘horribly bullied’. The school allowed her to use a different name and referred her to a gender clinic without her mother being informed.

Mercifully, the story had a happy ending. The teenager narrowly avoided gender dysphoria ‘treatment’ due to long waiting lists and had grown into a young woman who was now a ‘happy and thriving lesbian’, content in her own body following ‘lots of counselling’.

‘Thank goodness I didn’t take her to one of those private gender clinics,’ her mother said. ‘She could have been prescribed hormones; she could have gone down the wrong path. Thank goodness we didn’t do that.’ This brave mother then gave words of advice to other parents of gender-confused children: ‘Watchful waiting. First do no harm.’

Another courageous woman, one of the few BBC journalists to emerge with credit from the gender treatment scandal, also appeared on the airwaves. Hannah Barnes, formerly of Newsnight but now associate editor at the New Statesman, wrote Time to Think: The Inside Story of the Collapse of the Tavistock’s Gender Service for Children.

She told Woman’s Hour the disturbing findings of the Cass Review had been known for a long time.

‘For those who have followed this for many years, there are no surprises in there but it’s quite shocking to see it laid out in such devastating and comprehensive detail… For the Prime Minister to say a spotlight has been shone (on the issue), well, yes, but it’s been shining in the background for a long time and really we probably should have acted long before this.’

A brave mother and a courageous journalist. Perhaps in future, BBC editors should be guided by these fearless women, rather than fretting about ‘misgendering’ killers and sex offenders.

Your Twin Peaks fun fact of the day

Day #5

Many of the characters names in Twin Peaks weren't chosen just because.

Several characters are named after film noir figures, here are some examples:

Madeleine Ferguson, Laura's cousin, shares her first name with Kim Novak's character in Vertigo and her surname with James Stewart character in that same movie. Curiously enough, the movie surrounds a dead blonde and her brunette doppelgänger.

There's an insurance agent on Twin Peaks named Walter Neff, which plays homage to Fred MacMurray's character in Double Indemnity.

Also, the vet Dr. Lydecker and Waldo the bird both pay tribute to Clifton Webb's character in Laura.

And Gordon Cole, whose name is a reference to Bert Moorhouse character in Sunset Boulevard, one of David Lynch's favorite movie and biggest inspiration.

But it's not just film noir references. For instance, Dale Cooper's, whose middle name is Bartholomew, initials are the same ones as D. B. Cooper the famous hijacker who parachuted from a plane in Washington with stolen cashed and disappeared out of the blue.

And last but not least, Harry Truman's name is a reference to the Harry Truman who refused to leave his lodge during the eruption of Mount St. Helens.
