I Decided To Break The Law To Provide A Necessary Medical Service Because Women Were Dying At The Hands

I decided to break the law to provide a necessary medical service because women were dying at the hands of butchers and incompetent quacks, and there was no one there to help them. The law was barbarous, cruel and unjust. I had been in a concentration camp, and I knew what suffering was. If I can ease suffering, I feel perfectly justified in doing so.

Dr. Henry Morgentaler, a Canadian doctor who was arrested four times for performing abortions, but whose arrests eventually led to the 1988 Canadian Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion in the country. He died this week at the age of 90. His obituary can be found in the NY Times. (via nailure)

Mister Lobo doesn’t care if Godzilla is good or bad—you always love your family, even when they don’t meet your expectations or get on your nerves. Same goes for Star Wars.

I finally learned how to make GIFs, which is great because it allows me to eloquently illustrate my reaction to ads trying to convince me that Hot Pockets are gourmet food.

I saw Chef today, a sci-fi movie about an alternate dimension in which a mildly acerbic restaurant review on AOL can go viral.

And upon seeing this I will spend the rest of my life collapsing into hysterical giggles at any appearance of Michael Bay's toitles.

Upon Seeing The Design, The First Thought That Came To Mind Was How Terrifying It Was. The Second Thought

Upon seeing the design, the first thought that came to mind was how terrifying it was. The second thought was that he had some serious dick sucking lips.

Ian Holm, being a trooper.

If there's any prop from this movie I'd love to hear still exists, it would be the model of his head with that incredible smug grin after they unplug him.

If you ever want to sample the KTMA episodes (aka Season Zero) of Mystery Science Theater 3000, "Phase IV" isn't a bad one to start with. The movie (the only feature directed by Saul Bass) is interesting enough to carry through the gaps in the mostly improvised riffing and slow enough so the jokes help when they hit.

The following is an excerpt from ZZT, Anna Anthropy's upcoming book about Epic boss Tim Sweeney's classic game creation system.

I'm looking forward to this. I used to love ZZT, even on the old monochrome Toshiba T-1000 laptop I used to lug around as a kid.
