Corporal

To mount a corporal and four; to be guilty of onanism: the thumb is the corporal, the four fingers the privates.

C'mon @itvnews.bsky.social ! Your salvation is literally sitting by the phone waiting for your call!
I don't have any contacts in ITV shiny floor any more but if someone could put the word out, I think this format would sell well internationally. Drop me a line.

Gotta admit, I was having trouble feeling enthusiastic about Christmas this year, but then I found this present waiting for me at the record store.

"The #1 movie when you were 10 years old is how yourv2926 is going to go."

Grease.

Probably in the environmental hazard way & not in the youthful sexy shenanigans way.
"The #1 movie when you were 10 years old is how your 2026 is going to go."

Will my 2026 be like a proud, regal t-rex crowing over her victories or a bedraggled crew of screaming, flailing humans getting electrocuted on clearly marked fences and dying on the toilet?

why do i even ask.

This thread about the non-existent academic job market was true when I was a grad student 30 years ago, & things have only gotten worse. I've been out of academia for 15 years, but I still know people there, & the situation is fucking dire.
They made a desert and called it a job market.
THERE ARE NO JOBS IN ACADEMIA! NO JOBS! DOZENS OF HYPER QUALIFIED APPLICANTS PER JOB!

Happy birthday to New Jersey's ONLY radio station!
Happy 85th birthday, WPRB!

Kentucky has Ale-81, a caffeinated, sort-off ginger ale that I sincerely love (I moved away 15 years ago & still regularly grab a couple cases whenever I go back to visit.)

I don't know what New Jersey's would be.
Every state in the United States has a disgusting soda that only they know about and that’s kind of beautiful

There was the time in college I asked out a girl I barely knew & we went to see Apocalypse Now at one of the film societies. We both came out of the screening so traumatized that we never spoke to each other again.
Raising the always fun question: What are your most memorable theater-going experiences?

Mine also include The Matrix, Blair Witch, and being way too stoned in Belgium when Fellowship of the Ring was sold out so we sat in the back row for Mulholland Drive instead.
It was hands-down one of the most memorable theater-going experiences I can remember, a collective 30-minute butt-clench/armrest-grab for the final climb. And we knew he lived! Wild.

Happy birthday to Tom Verlaine, whose music brightened many a mysterious corner, and still leaves me breathless. Here's something I wrote about the enduring spectral-noir-majesty-jolt of 'Marquee Moon' for The Ringer a while back. Venus De Milo and darkness doubled. www.theringer.com/2022/04/13/m...

I used to make fake ads for my favorite discord, I really should do them more. (Shout out to the space gnomes!)
This one is from 2021, we like a good rock.

We got comic books, art books, and even some books WITHOUT pictures (very rare)! These would make great gifts for many different ages, we’d say the range goes from like 1 year old to about 2 million years old? Probably?
