HCW by day, metalhead by night. Also loves classical music, art, weights, sf/f/h, cats. Jewish (quite lapsed), left, bi. I've set up shop here, now that Twitter has turned to shit. He/him. Llevo casi tres años aprendiendo español.
A strange little movie, but I like it very much.

Highlights include a very attractive couple having an intimate moment together (despite not being in the same building, never mind the same room), and David Cronenberg in a bit part he clearly took because it looked fun.

at the center of modern right wing is a ravenous nihilism that preaches to its aspirants that the ultimate aspiration in life is to rape a literal hole into the center of the universe if it means you will be remembered.

It's after midnight. Why am I awake?

(Don't mind me. I know exactly why I'm awake. I got way too used to knocking myself out with alcohol, I quit drinking a little over a month ago... and I'm still trying to relearn how to sleep.)

I've never been accused of being a monster, let alone been accused by several people of being a monster.

I've never had to deny being a monster, and I'm not sure what a credible denial would look like.

But.

I'm pretty sure crying "smear campaign" over a year later is absolutely NOT IT.

So, this exists.

If you have a chance, may I recommend that you watch...

...well, literally ANY OTHER FUCKING THING.

(I suppose, it's a tiny but important piece of musical history, but you're probably still happier not seeing this.)
Hated: GG Allin & the Murder Junkies (Special Edition) (1993)
A truthfully brutal portrait of an American rock icon and performance artist at the peak of his career and his madness. From director Todd Phillips.

Several years ago, there was a horny -- fun horny, not creepy-horny -- contributor to the SCP foundation. Over on Tumblr, I posted a selfie in one of their¹ shirts. They reposted it, and mentioned envying my arms.

🎶 "That bland insipid song is hammering inside my skull.
Should be impossible because the song's so fucking dull.
The hook is what it's like to take ten Valium at a rave.
And yes, the chorus sucks, and I'll take this anger to my grave...
Ooh, look what you made me do, look what you made me do... " 🎶
Fuck your favourite song. Tell me your least favourite song. The one that makes you die inside the moment you hear the first 3 seconds.

Hello! Are you looking to have an absolutely miserable time?

(Don't get me wrong. Martyrs is genuinely a very good movie. Even a great one. But holy shit, it's unpleasant as hell, and possibly the bleakest fucking thing I've ever seen.)
Martyrs (2008)
Fifteen years after escaping her captors in an abandoned slaughterhouse, Lucie’s revenge plot takes her on a terrifying journey of her own depravity.

Among "normal" human beings, the word "petty" is considered pejorative.

In certain other circles, that word is high praise.

I'm not a "normal" human being. And as such, I can say, this clip is petty as hell, and I mean it in all the best ways.

Have you seen Down And Out In Beverly Hills? Do you remember the strange little videos Max put together to inflict on his parents?

I'm about fifteen minutes into The Great Satan, and I'm pretty sure the whole movie is going to be like that.

The Great Satan (2018)

When you're monogamous, Valentine's Day is a big deal, but it's relatively easy. If you love several people, it takes more work. And planning. And spreadsheets.

I have no right to complain, it'll all be worth it. It always is. But there's still a lot more work involved.

My expectations of JKR were already deep underground, but holy fucking shit.
JK Rowling's team invited Jeffery Epstein to the deathly hallows play and to a Harry potter dinner.

Sometimes, the number 47 appears in fiction that's written by human beings.

(Most of the time 47 texts, or $47k, or 47 parking tickets show up in fiction, it's AI slop, but AbFab is pre-AI.)

I'm suddenly reminded that lots of creeps were drooling over Brooke Shields when she was thirteen. And at least one of them did so IN PRINT.

(I'm not linking to that. You're welcome.)
there were multiple different countdown clocks until the Olsen twins turned 18

reddit had its infamous 'jailbait' community online until late 2011

all of this shit was just out in the open, it was awful
I feel like maybe it’s a function of everyone online being born in 2002 but I don’t think most people realize how openly and explicitly pedophilic american culture was until like… maybe 10 years ago

Oh, my. This is in a theater not very far from me. I could go watch it. Or, and hear me out... I could do literally anything else.

It's okay, we all go through it.

Sam Delany is an amazing #scifi writer. His prose is gorgeous, his command of language is magnificent, and his themes and ideas are terrific.

...except when they're horrific. And the beauty of his prose somehow makes it even worse.

Some people get off on doing despicable thing to children.

Some people get off on doing as much damage as they can the world around them.

A lot of overlap there, I'm sure. How could there not be?

I'd love to do more research on this topic, but I'm sure google would get IDEAS about me.

So, YouTube Shorts is trying to tell me to watch Reacher.

As far as I can tell, it's great for guys with power fantasies who dream about kicking All The Ass, and yes, the leading man isn't so much a boat as a whole damned aircraft carrier. Great. Does it actually have anything like a plot?

This was me, advising someone against watching the new movie about Melania Trump.

(I can only hope that MST3K, and Elvira; Mistress of the Dark, are as well-recognized among los hispanohablantes as they are in the anglosphere.)
Un conserje y dos robots sarcásticos en una nave espacial deberían mirar esa película. Una pelirroja sarcástica con chichis grandes y una peluca negra con forma de colmena debería mirarla. Por favor, por su salud mental, usted no debería mirarla.

I really need to pull myself out of YouTube freefall, before I do something dumb like downloading a few dozen porch pirates getting exploded by dye packs... and edit them all to the tune of the last few moments of the 1812 Overture.
January 31, 2026 at 10:09 PM
Isn't it amazing that just as "porch pirate vs. exploding dye pack" becomes the latest craze on YouTube, I'm just now seeing half a dozen different ones... with the same porch pirate each time? She sure gets around! #Everyone'sSoCreative
