In 2019, "Creeped Out" sent three kids into the backrooms

"The Many Place" episode, on Hoopla.

Creeped Out literally gave us Backrooms for kids with episode ‘The Many Place.’ Down to the yellow walls! Three siblings get stuck on their hotel floor on the way to the pool and it’s one of the most horrifying liminal space loops I’ve ever seen! pic.twitter.com/URue3Ub3Au

"Styled as always by Genesis Webb, it was a reverent recreation of the Jean Paul Gaultier costumes by Michael Schmidt Studios." (The concert reportedly raised $20 million for charity.)


(Talk about having to separate the art from the artist, btw.)

Took a particularly good photo of my dog this morning

Today's news and jokes

@thetimes At 9.20 on Wednesday morning, 900 children were halfway through the early shift at Tribhuvan Trishuli secondary school, a three-storey complex in the Trishuli valley of north-central Nepal.⁠ ⁠ Another 700 were on their way on foot and by bus, when the principal, Rajendra Dadabi, received a panicked call from a friend in Betrawati, five miles upstream. “He said the village was gone: taken by the river,” said Dadabi. “He told me to run.”⁠ ⁠ The 47-year-old English teacher took a moment to consider the threat. He remembered that the school buses, each carrying 80 children, were en route.⁠ ⁠ “I got through to all the drivers but one and told them to turn back. Then I saw the bus I hadn’t been able to contact coming across the bridge. By now, the water was in the school grounds — it was so fast — so I told him to turn around. It got to the other side just as the bridge collapsed.”⁠ ⁠ Dadabi’s quick thinking saved the lives of 1,643 children and all but one member of the teaching staff. #nepal #nepalfloods #floods ♬ original sound - The Times and Sunday Times
