Years ago I had a French partner, and at a party of hers I met the (English) boyfriend of one of her French friends, who called me a simp (among other things) for learning French so I could communicate better with her. That was… eye-opening.

I can’t wait for the scratch and sniff version of JG Ballard’s Crash.

100% agree. For my money the most imaginative design, some of the best scares/sequences in the series and I would actually say the best soundtrack.

That’s disappointing to hear. The writing of SH4 was something that fundamentally changed me when I played it back in the day.

Put a beard on him and it’s Oliver Reed

Deeply disturbing how many people were taken in by accelerationist thinking. Even otherwise sometime lucid leftist writers.

Who’s yours?

Totally. Look at how the Escapist (for a while at least) turned into an absolutely repulsive hive of Gamergate proto-fascism.

Tron: SCARY @asterionhex.monster · 25d

if your mental image of the word "wizard" is anything that would NOT be airbrushed on the side of a kickass van, someone has failed you

JK Rolwing deserves more shit for taking so much of the romance out of the cultural perception of wizards. Hearing the word "wizard" should conjure images of Saruman standing atop Orthanc bringing a storm on the Pass of Caradhras. Not boarding school children.

Felt like I needed a chat with an old friend today

The grave of William Blake. The inscription reads: Here lies William Blake, 1757-1827. Poet, Artist, Prophet. “I give you the end of a golden string/Only wind it into a ball/It will lead you in at Heaven’s gate/Built in Jerusalem’s wall”

“Bloodthirsty Trans Author - The Daily Mail” should be on your business cards.

Kill List, A Field In England and High Rise were all great imo. But I just checked his filmography and… woof. When he fucks up, he fucks up HARD.

Old Soviet joke for today:

A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves.

After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?”

“I’m looking for the obituaries.”

“The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.”

“Not the one I’m looking for.”
