I've had the Family Green Bean Recipe (with ketchup) a few times, at a few holiday dinners, with a few different families. It's always gross. I'm sorry to say it. But marinara shakshuka with extra greenery? I could get behind this!

For some reason, I'm getting a lot more ads about how much fun it is to go on a cruise, and maybe I should try it myself. I'll admit I could be (briefly) tempted by 70000 tons of metal, but seriously, not a chance in hell.

I'll recommend Cathedral Walls, or Hearts Wide Shut, if I want to hurt you (and make you thank me for it, because yes, it hurts, but it hurts so good). If you're ready to be completely annihilated...?

I am delighted beyond words that Spanish has the word "metalero," which is basically "metalhead." Or "metalera," if you're a lady who likes it loud. (I'm so sorry, I have no idea how Spanish copes with enbies or other GNC folk. Comment below if you know?)

YouTube has, for the moment, stopped showing me AI ragebait, and is instead showing me very physically fit Brazilian men and women dancing in very revealing costumes that are about 50% feathers or rhinestones by volume. It won't stay that way, but for right now, I'm happy with it.

One of the really great things about alcohol is that it gives us space to hurt. Life often denies this to us. Unless we're drunk.

The new Gorod is AMAZING. I know that for lots of us, the lyrics in death metal are kinda secondary, and we just ignore them, because they're not intelligible anyway. Trust me. Read along as you listen to this one.

Most of the clips in this channel are entitled assholes on planes, with a few toxic inlaws. 48 thousand people (or possibly bots) are subscribed to this bollocks.

On one hand, I'm a bit sad that this man is, by most conventional standards, much better-looking than me. On the other hand, I'm much better socialized, I've had LOTS more partners, my partners have all been willing and eager and my own age, and none of them are trying to see me in court!

Right now, I can hum the opening guitar line of this album. (Normally, the lowest note I can sing or hum is D2. The guitars on this album are tuned to G1, and if I were in good health, G1 would be waaaaay outside my abilities. Sadly, at the moment, I'm not really in good health.)

One of my "comfort listens." It's okay to be sad. It's okay to mourn. It's okay to be really fucking angry that someone you care about is no longer with us. We sometimes feel anger. And the departed absolutely do not deserve our anger... but that anger is no less real. I wish it were not so.

Mythology, violence, and at least one scene in which the title character is in bed with both a man and a woman. It just arrived, but sadly, my glasses are at work.

The front cover of the graphic novel Barbarian Behind Bars. It features a big beefy barbarian with an ax, standing in top of a car, in either Times Square or a street that looks inspired by it.
