My monthly health insurance premium is going from $908.88 to $1686.82 as of January 1, 2026.
Thanks, Trump voters, for that 86% rise in premiums. I was hoping to spend that money on, you know, fun stuff, but nope. Gonna redistribute it to the rich instead. Awesome.

My first CD: CD1 by Throbbing Gristle. Just like Bruce, I got a copy of this before actually getting a CD player; in 1986, they were exotic, but it was easy enough to borrow one from a high school classmate to listen to it.

Ironically, the first thing that comes to mind when I think about "coming out" is rejection - at 17, I joined the undergraduate gay men's support group at Cal, which was frustrating because none of the other men in that group were comfortable with my physical appearance and were kinda vocal about it

Picked up a copy of the BFI Blu-ray release of BATTLESHIP POTEMKIN - the one with the Pet Shop Boys soundtrack - and can confirm that it is gay as hell

I worked with so many brilliant, talented, and professional troops over the years who Hegseth thinks are worthless based on appearance alone - this is disgraceful. Surprise: IT, cybersecurity, clinical, medical, logistics etc. professionals don’t look like softcore gay porn models!

Just saw ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER projected in VistaVision in London and… oh man, that was a painful experience due to horrible flickering in well-lit scenes. Was that an LED projection bulb issue? Something else? No idea but man, it SUCKED

Still no wide release date for the Alexander Skarsgard and Harry Melling's PILLION, the holiday-set BDSM love story that debuted at Cannes and is making its next major appearance at the Zurich film festival next week.

Very happy to be leaving the Camino de Santiago today… not a fan. The Americans across the hall in this shitty hotel have been snoozing their alarm since 5:45 AM… it won’t be light for at least two hours and today’s high is 60 degrees, so why the hurry to leave in the dark when it’s 38 degrees out?

Just back from a documentary entirely about French plants and then another film largely about a woman who raises a wild boar and if you want to feel calm, peaceful and connected to all living things for a long double-feature afternoon that's what I recommend.

I learned a valuable lesson at a leathermen’s party in Berlin last night: _not_ being in gear probably helped as I stood out far more than usual! It wasn’t easy when I was younger, but with age and experience I appreciate being different more and more.

Just arrived in Berlin on a Deutsche Bahn train that arrived precisely on time eight hours after leaving Paris and I can hardly believe it. Is DB getting better?

I've just completed the GR765/GR65 from Cluny to Moissac; I am now done with my Camino. 32 walking days, 730 km. I skipped Rocamadour to Lascabanes due to extreme heat but otherwise walked all the way.
Off to Paris tomorrow to do the laundry and enjoy a celebratory split of Champagne!

Today paid off: I wandered around Cahors without a map or a destination. Happened across two rooms in a sport center that were temporarily hosting the city’s history and Resistance museums; the woman working there was so friendly- French hospitality is nonpareil!

I’ve just arrived at Rocamadour. That’s 30 days hiking and 680 km from Cluny. Given the weather - just over 100 degrees - this is where my Camino ends. I’ve seen enough, as they say - time to take some time off, especially if there’s air conditioning!

OK, pretty sure my terrible French accent reads as Dutch or Belgian to French speakers. Was asked yet again if I was Belgian today. The heck?
