Incredible sentence:
“They ask for threesomes, cuckhold fantasies, and bedroom coaching from a boner fide professional”.
I don’t know if the obsolete spelling of cuckold is being used or if being held while being cucked is a kink.
And, “boner fide” is chef’s kiss.

Nice one. The Collected Works of Kaleb Horton, ideally in a multimedia format, is all I want for Xmas.
This week libsyn dropped the Last Exit Show episodes it had hosted. Earlier episodes remain available on other platforms but 30 or so exclusive to libsyn just got wiped. There’s some urgency here.

A random FB memory turned up a Kaleb Horton piece I am sure I'd entirely forgotten, done for an attempted revival of _Liberty_ magazine on old Hollywood landmarks, from 2015. You'll need to scroll way down on the archived page, but it's there. cc @quartzcity.bsky.social @andyzax.bsky.social etc

More so a Western Canadian expression. At least it originated in the West.
Never heard Gong Show used to describe anything until I moved to BC from Atlantic Canada. The expression is now heard east of the Rockies but not to the same degree.

It’s a glorious day overlooking Big Island. Remember that rural residents can Borrow by Mail without charge. Books, magazines, DVDs and more.
Did you know? The cost for public library service (all services and programs at PARL) is $21.62 per person - per year in provincial funding?

I will no doubt read and enjoy all your very good Nuzzi jokes, but I also want to say earnestly, so many of us (myself included) are on the verge of being pushed out of this industry and it's genuinely so dispiriting to see the worst among us, ethics-wise, get such preferential treatment.

Losing Teen Vogue is legitimately a massive blow to working class organization. Its politics coverage was top notch and put legacy news to shame. I hope the former workers form a co-op publication or something.
