A hallmark of gothic literature, the uncanny “blends elements of the familiar and the unfamiliar” so as to make us feel “uncomfortable, uncertain, and ill at ease.” Classic examples include Frankenstein, Dracula, and, perhaps most terrifying of all, BYU vs Utah in daylight.

David B. Morris wrote that, to Freud, “we find things to be uncanny when they are familiar to us, yet also somehow foreign or disturbing.” Think Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s “The Yellow Wallpaper”, E. T. A. Hoffman's “The Sandman”, or the Holy War kicking off at 10 a.m. local.

3 things to understand about the 3 new women’s accusations about Josh Jacobs: 1) they went to police. not lawyers, not media. there was literally nothing for them to “gain” by going to police, apart from the desire to help the fourth victim

Smear campaign on Jacobs man we gotta stop. No charges why is that coming out anonymously like that when he never got in trouble I don’t like that
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Josh Jacobs pleaded no contest to misdemeanor battery and criminal damage to property after his May arrest and was placed on the NFL exempt list. Additional prior allegations from three women were included in police records released publicly via records request. espn.com/nfl/story/_/id… nytimes.com/athletic/75783… espn.com/nfl/story/_/id…

Proust diary entry: Garden soirée abuzz about Mme Clarkson, an American performer of some past renown, who incensed at a shopkeeper’s refusal to part with a mechanical bird(quite realistic plumage I am told), would not rest until half of Cabourg was ablaze!

Two months after his mom was detained by ICE, Samuel Gonzalez Terrones, 21, died by suicide. “To the ICE agent who took away my mother: I hope it was worth it,” Samuel wrote. “I can’t handle anymore injustices in this world.” When the family broke the news to his mother, still in detention, agents wouldn't let each other hug. latimes.com/politics/story/2… heartbreaking story by @andreamcastillo

The way FIFA has gone about delaying Balogun’s suspension is clearly very bad and sets a dangerous precedent. Surprising that so many people seem to be taking the position of “get over it” and are failing to grasp how serious a problem this is
