PayPal purge of big tech’s opposition continues YouTube's free speech alternative BitChute is just the last of many victims.
PayPal has banned BitChute, YouTube’s main free speech oriented competitor, from its service. According to BitChute’s statement, the ban appears to be permanent and final and the only thing provided by the online payment giant in way of a reason is a mention of its Acceptable Use Policy and their we reserve the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason clause. The move is a powerful blow against the rapidly ascending video platform, as PayPal subscription payments from supporters had been its main source of revenue. “It’s our belief that it is our stand against the current trend in censorship that has resulted in this action,” the statement…

Alt-left bloggers are lying to you on Daily Dot Asian journalist reports on gaming controversy involving gender. That makes him a white nationalist troll. What?
On October 23, games journalist Ian Miles Cheong released a YouTube video and a LULZ article reporting on the doxxing and harassment campaign targeting CD Projekt Red employees and their relatives. The report quickly went viral, reaching the Reddit front page with the most popular thread earning 5,6k upvotes. The story was already bizarre: the entire hullabaloo had started over a tweet accidentally gender appropriating the #WontBeErased hashtag for a non-transgender purpose, after all. Then a Daily Dot hit piece appeared. And while the article itself could find no factual fault with the reporting, its title suggested the polar opposite – and far worse. Ian had become a literally Hitler.…

Vampires have nothing on the sinister blood-drinking fairies who inspired them Long before Dracula ever hit the shelves, Scottish folklore painted the first image of a vampire-like creature and it was terrifying.
Ever wonder when the first imaginary, blood-sucking, bat-shifting creature stepped into the light? Believe it or not, it wasn’t in Stephanie Meyer’s Twilight… but it also didn’t start with Dracula. So, where did the vampire originate? The cheesy modern day vampires These days, the vampire narrative is pretty worn out. Ever heard of a little heartthrob movie called Twilight? What about The (cuddly) Count on Sesame Street? Heck, even Hotel Transylvania turned a bruting vampire into a caring, overprotective dad with an agenda to ruin his daughter’s love life. Big whoop. So, what happened to the terrifying vampire tales of the past? Bram Stoker’s Dracula certainly jarred the world when it was first released, and inspired some fairly scary…

The 11 best Goosebumps monsters Writing at a breakneck pace, R.L. Stine churned out sixty-two now classic Goosebumps. These are his best monsters.
It’s plain to see that 90s kid lit is enjoying a renaissance right now, and the king of the paperbacks back in the day was R. L. Stine. Writing at a breakneck pace, he churned out sixty-two mainline Goosebumps books as well as dozens of spin-offs and other titles. Stine’s series made horror accessible to audiences too young for R-rated fare, taking a variety of terror tropes and giving them young adult twists. With the second Jack Black-starring Goosebumps movie set to hit theaters, we pulled out the library card and reacquainted ourselves with the freaks and beasts of the original book series. Here are definitive picks for the eleven…

Reddit quarantines 25+ communities, more to come Right-wingers, communists, even the world's biggest IRL livestreamer. Within minutes of Reddit announcement, subreddits "redditors may find offensive" were crippled.
“On a platform as open and diverse as Reddit, there will sometimes be communities that, while not prohibited by the Content Policy, average redditors may nevertheless find highly offensive or upsetting,” reads the September 27 announcement by Reddit administrator landoflobsters. In it, he explains that policies on “quarantining” subreddits have been updated to reflect “learnings,” and it will now be easier for Reddit admins to apply the measure to a wider array of communities hosted by the social media giant. Within minutes, a long list of subreddits considered to upset average redditors were put into quarantine mode. The hit list even included FULLCOMMUNISM and Ice Poseidon, a popular gay livestreamer…

The dark origins of our favorite Disney stories The fairytales Disney based their classics on certainly weren't PG-13.
We grew up singing their songs, we cosplayed their outfits, and we took pictures with them in “Happiest Place on Earth.” But, what if there is more than just a “happily ever after?” Fairytales were usually written with a hidden truth or a moral lesson and over the years it’s been candied and reduced to a Walt Disney feature. Behind the veil of smiles, prince charming, and being a princess, there’s a darker truth that lingers in a fairy tale and we can say this much: no one is laughing at the end. Don’t believe me?

Second victim comes forward: “Brett Kavanaugh fed on my breasts in 1965” Horrifying account casts shadow on Trump's pick for the Supreme Court.
A woman who wishes to remain anonymous after seeing the treatment of Christine Blasey Ford claims that Brett Kavanaugh licked, nibbled, and bit her breasts and nipples numerous times. The attacks started in February of 1965 and lasted almost the entire year. “It was almost daily, and it was as if he expected it, like it was his right,” she stated between tears and stifled sobs during a phone interview. “He’d strike when I wasn’t expecting it, pawing at my chest, groping my breasts. I didn’t even realize what he wanted, and when I did I froze,” the terrifying account continues. The woman says she “gave in” because respected male…

The urban underground: Secrets under today’s modern cities Many cities have rich histories that date back millennia, and the source of that history lies right below the structures and streets that make their modern versions.
Modern cities have rich histories that can date back millennia, and the source of that history lies right beneath the structures and streets that make their current versions. Abandoned subway tunnels, secret compartments, and even whole rivers run underneath the worlds sprawling metropolises, and when unearthed reveal secrets to the past that have been long forgotten. Seedy members of society have long used subterranean realms to their advantage, while others used them as shelters while enemy armies laid siege.
