It’s fascinating that half of the posts I see about Gaiman are “of course he was a sex creep, he was twee and wholesome” and half of them are “of course he was a sex creep, he wrote horror stories”

I read an "explainer" on the hawk tuah thing which included the assertion: "Straight men tend to be fans of both funny noises and oral sex." Ah yes, laughing at funny noises and enjoying oral sex, those exclusive attributes of straight men.

Disconcerting to encounter capitalised “Internet” in a book from 2014. Surely by then it was clear that the internet deserved no such deference.

Was going to post this for everyone in the UK but then I realised he says "you both" so it'll have to be for two specific people in the UK. You can sort that out amongst yourselves.

There’s a weird impulse some people have to react to allegations against a celebrity with claims of foresight (“I always knew he was dodgy!”) or moral insight through aesthetic judgment (“I never liked his work anyway!”) I promise you nobody cares.

It’s not so much doomerism—where there’s life there’s hope—as it is disgust, profound disgust. Even if American fascism fell apart tomorrow I’d never get over the fact it got to this point. So it goes; onwards, I guess.

This might be why I don't really like more modern slashers/serial killer/"the monster was ____ from within all along" stuff. It's not just some weird stuff anymore. It's trying to do something, which works fine in some cases, but also just gimme weirdos. Not even gross weirdos, just some weird guys.

Requiescat in pace, Mark Sandman (September 24, 1952 – July 3, 1999). Gone now 25 years, he was the lead singer and bass player of Morphine. The band called its style of music “low rock,” and it is perfect.

Joe Dolce - "Shaddap You Face" (1980)
Think this has been posted at least once before, but I could hardly have a list of Australian novelty songs without it. Bit of trivia: Dolce and his partner Lin Van Hek wrote a song ("Intimacy") for The Terminator soundtrack.

How bad was the US economy in the 1970s? Well, the 1975 film Three Days of the Condor was based on a novel from 1974 called Six Days of the Condor. If production had been delayed until 1976, there may not have been *any* days of the condor in circulation.

Another of their songs, "Dogs Are the Best People", is probably more of a true novelty song (especially as it charted), but I've always had a fondness for this one.
