When the 4 Non Blondes said “And so I wake in the morning and I step outside, and I take a deep breath and I get real high
and I scream from the top of my lungs WHAT’S GOIN ON?!”
I really felt that.

So I was watching the trump inauguration (not because I support him but more to watch a piece of history) and it just felt so surreal the chants of #USA, #USA. Is this normal for an inauguration? I'm from the UK and I've watched all the #inaugurations since #Obama and I can't recall scenes like this

Without Mel Brooks hiring Lynch to make THE ELEPHANT MAN — on the strength of ERASERHEAD alone — he is very likely just a guy who made a weird film at AFI. That whole filmography you love doesn’t happen.
We all need sponsors and mentors and patrons. We need people who believe in us.

From watching #EvanRachelWood on #Channel4s documentary on #MarilynManson I realised there was a film of one of my favourite books of ALL time... #RunningWithScissors which I am of course now watching

Omg this book, not one for the faint of heart *trigger warning for Sexual Assault*
SA and child SA is a major theme and how the family of a perpetrator copes.
It's been awhile since I've been able to just devour whole chunks of a book in one sitting.

I'm not celebrating shit just yet because 1. Gaza is absolutely demolished and the ripples of this will endure for generations and 2. Israel has broken deals in the past and they'll break them again.

If the Super Nintendo Switch is "just" a more powerful Switch, IMO that's a good thing
Nintendo figured out the formula of a hybrid that plays AAA games on the go and your living room television
No need to reinvent the wheel, a more powerful Switch means more 3rd party games

#KingdomHearts has been THE most consistently loved game in my life. I'm replaying the main #games in the series so me and my boyfriend (who has never played them before) can experience them together.

This. Gaiman wrote some great books. Father Ted is one of the funniest sitcoms ever. Chinatown and Rosemary's Baby are masterpieces. Gill Sans is an attractive font. "You've Lost That Loving Feeling" is a great record. So is "Great Balls of Fire". Monsters can make great art.
A month or so ago I saw a post by someone saying "we should all admit that Neil Gaiman has always been a shitty writer." That whole knee jerk revisionism. No, man, that's part of the whole horror. He's an internationally recognized writer. Objectively a good writer. But he's also a fucking monster.
