What an explainer! I laughed, I covered my eyes, I despaired a little. What a mess.
Screenshot that reads: Never accuse Keith Olbermann of overspending on the college student he was dating in his 50s. As a teen, under the name Livvy, " Nuzzi tried to launch a music career by releasing a Myspace single called "Jailbait." I've got no shame," one of the lines goes. You will never trick me into saying anything about this.

A movie that takes place where you're from

(Sort of)

Happy Doctor Who Day, friends.
Tweet from Rich 'Sir FarFrom' Tipple @forfromallover. Text reads: Roses are red, Florists deliver. A black and white still from Doctor Who, "The Dalek Invasion of Earth." The First Doctor and Ian are staring at a large sign painted on a brick wall that reads in all-caps: It is forbidden to dump bodies into the river" So in whole, the joke: Roses are red, Florists deliver, It is forbidden to dump bodies into the river.

Without downloading any new pics, describe your gender
A Venn diagram where the large circles are: cottagecore, Goblincore, and Being Bisexual. Goblin + bi overlap with the word "frogs" but the o has an umlat over it. Goblin + cottage overlap with the word "treasure." Cottage + bi overlap as "cute sweaters and high waisted pants." At the center, they all share "the omnipresent urge to run away to the woods and never return."

Count me among those who had baby pigeons on their apartment balcony. Here's one of the babies when it got a little older and less... ball sac-looking.

(realizing now I meant BEAUFORT not Beauford, but I've already saved the image, so oh well!) 🏹
Bane vs. guy in pink mo-cap suit meme format. They are squaring up to fight. Text over Bane reads: Archer patronizingly telling the countess the rules. Text over pink suit guy: Beauford and his theatre friends.

Believe it or not, I'd never seen Lost Boys until this week. It was fine. Sorry, some things translate better if you were a kid first.

Berberian Sound Studio, I'd never heard of before, and though it's not exactly Lynchian, it may scratch that part of your brain.
Shirley Valentine (4 stars), The Lost Boys (3.5 stars), Dracula (1992, 4 stars), Berberian Sound Studio (4 stars)

Very brief searching brought me this image, which looks like you could attach some sort of bracelet or chain, depending on what you wanted. Or whatever their weird social rules dictate! Ha 🏹
A small gold square cigarette case with engraved lines and a hinged lid. There is a gold loop on the side of the case that could be attached to a chain of some sort.

The description here reminded me of seeing the Morgan Library in New York. 🏹
A big room with dark wood furniture, including a desk and several chairs that are upholstered in red. The ceiling is tall and the curtains heavy, the wallpaper is red. Wide angle shot of a ginormous room with a painted ceiling and shelves upon shelves of books on two levels. A large patterened carpet on the floor. One of those rooms you walk into and say, "Holy shit, look at this."

Forgot to show you all my fav local Halloween thing I saw.
An open top black vehicle that's kind of like a Jeep and a small pickup. In the back sits one of those 12 foot tall skeletons, which still towers over the top, despite the "sitting" position. There is a smaller skelton in thr passenger seat and also attached to the grill on the front of the vehicle.

If you see this post, a vampire that isn’t Dracula.
3 vampires from Classic Doctor Who, one is a woman. They all have the worst white makeup with red around the eyes. One is wearing a crown.

Yesterday I got on the subject of something that reminded me I meant to watch White Nights. The story is a hot mess, but yes, Mikhail Baryshnikov and Gregory Hines do some amazing dancing.

ALSO new from me: I read Murderland by @calfraser.bsky.social and was glad I did (though it is v grim). I remember when Joseph Duncan was arrested, as I lived in the area at the time. But mostly, this book makes me feel like we all need to test our dirt. More here: www.instagram.com/p/DQATAKHCRi8/

I'd been looking for this adaptation of Moon & Sixpence for YEARS because Jean Marsh is in it and I am somewhat of a completist. It's on Tubi rn

I also watched The Woman in Cabin 10, which was only ok, but maybe I just appreciated that it wasn't very long.

National Mood Indicator: I keep seeing My Year of Rest and Relaxation by Otessa Moshfegh in the "Popular This Week" section on Storygraph.

(I don't know enough about the other books to say what they indicate, other than Iron Flame seems widely popular?)

I don't often bother with cocktails beyond liquor + mixer, but tonight I made myself The Bee's Knees, and it was good.
