Today marks the 74th anniversary of the beginning of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. The Ghetto Uprising was one of the first large scale armed uprisings against the Nazis during World War II. In the Ghetto Uprising, some 220 people organized into the Jewish Fighting Organization (ŻOB), and a similar number in the Jewish Military Union (ZZW), armed mostly with pistols with a handful of bullets and molotov cocktails, took on over 2000 Nazi troops armed with all of the tools of then modern warfare: machine guns, flame throwers, artillery, tanks, and a surplus of ammunition. It is not to be forgotten that the Nazis were all well fed and well taken care of, while the mainly young people who fought against them had been locked up in the ghetto for almost 3 years, starved, subjected to unsanitary conditions that resulted in rampant disease, denied medical care, and demoralized by watching their family and friends brutalized and murdered by the Nazis. Nonetheless, the Ghetto Uprising lasted for just under a month, and inflicted possibly as many as 300 casualties on the Nazis.
oh you're in a horror film/book and your phone died/has no bars? how boring. I think phones in horror SHOULD work. they should ding only to have the protagonist check and find nothing. they should get calls from somebody you don't know but is still somehow in your contacts. google maps should lead you to one place, no matter what address you type in.
phones are such a big part of our daily lives, removing them from horror removes the horror from our experience. what if the horror felt like it could happen to you, right here, right now? what if it felt like it was already happening?
i'm sorry it will never not be funny to me that within the first 7 episodes of the magnus protocol, gwen implied lena was socially inept in front of her new employee, admitted to wanting to steal her job, suggested she was incompetent, and blackmailed her using footage of a failed murder attempt. jonah magnus would have made you relive your worst trauma for far, far less. instead lena gave her a god damn promotion and free tips on dealing with the horrors. human equivolent of a punching bag. why am i the only one aware of what a loser she is
