You ever think about incredibly knuckleheaded shit you read online years ago that was so egregious that it just won’t leave you? Today I keep thinking about the guy who referred to publishers charging money for actual physical books as a “paywall”

The real estate cenobite is the worst one.
"I have such sights to show you," she says, and you think she's gonna take you to new realms of pleasure and pain, but all she does is take you to a fifth-floor walkup with visible mold.

I’ve had several very minimal interactions with Lennox Lewis. The most tenuous would be when I cooked him a burger at Penge McDonald’s, but he also came into Lewisham hospital a lot when I worked there, so I shared lifts with him a few times, that kind of thing.
Ok Bluesky, what are your most low key celebrity interactions? I once shared a lift with Tim Finn and put drinks in Bryan Brown and Rachel Ward’s fridge. My husband sold cheese to John Cleese and my mum delivered groceries to Gough Whitlam. Go!!

Scary 24 hours- cat went out yesterday morning and didn’t come back. Finally this morning we got a call from a neighbour to tell us she was trapped in a light well- a little sunken yard outside a basement flat- a few doors down the street. She’s home now and fine. Such a huge relief.

Can anyone recommend a good book about the history of slavery? Specifically as perpetrated by European empires in the new world colonies. I’m looking for something a bit more wide ranging and comprehensive than the usual US solipsism on the subject.

One day it will stop irritating me how much my online peers talk about being online in the 90s like it was a universal experience. But today is not that day. Those halcyon times you’re reminiscing about were when people like me whose family couldn’t afford it weren’t online yet.

Seeing a book review spending time worrying about what genre the book is and sighing gently to myself.
Derrida & Ronell: "every text participates in one or several genres, there is no genreless text; there is always a genre and genres, yet such participation never amounts to belonging.”

I have two extremely old-mannish language opinions. The first, more frustrating one is about language creep- where words or terms get popular and start being used by people who don’t really know what they mean…

I think this might be an obsolete idea in the era of internet enabled cultural fragmentation, but if there is an answer to this I think it’s probably Barbie.
What 2020s movie has the greatest cultural footprint?
Note: This is not necessarily about box office, Oscars, critical acclaim, though all of those can count. It's more... pieces of it have so completely permeated our cultural groundwater that it will always be there.

One of the purest examples of a moral panic in our time. A clinic that had years-long waitlists and required an average of 7 appointments before providing transition care smeared and shut down for being reckless.
a clinic that provided services to 12,000 people being closed on the basis of 8 complaints perfectly captures the nature of the uk 'trans-debate'

NHS closed Tavistock over care complaints – there were only eight
An eye-opening FOI report has revealed that just eight people complained about the Tavistock gender clinic's care provision in 10 years.

The doctor tells Robert, age 45, that he has extensive cancer. The prognosis is grim, to say the least. Robert, a bit of a loose cannon, favors alternative treatments. He decides to treat it himself with 18 hits of LSD. His trip is harrowing.

This is your regular reminder that in the year 2000, Paul Rudd, with frosted tips, appeared in the Hong Kong film GEN-Y COPS as a bad guy (kinda). In the movie, he does martial arts, fights a robot, and, most shocking of all, does an entire scene in Cantonese.

what
Just a reminder that Britain First has never been proscribed as a terrorist group, despite actively encouraging violence and being clearly linked to at least two very public acts of violent terrorism, one of which was the murder of an MP.

Important craft of writing thread
If you've ever read Alan Moore's essay WRITING FOR COMICS (1985), there's a bit in it where he talks about scene transitions and page turns and how they're the weakest points of the "magic spell" of comics, as in you can lose the flow and take the reader out of the story with that physical action.
