James Acaster's openly talking about his autism in interviews now. What a time to be alive. www.clashmusic.com/features/jam...
How much did your love of crafting playlists and tracklists play affect the album?

I’ve always loved figuring out playlists, sequences of setlists, in that case with comedy as well – that really helps with make an album like this. In 2007 when we recorded seventeen tracks, we had it in a certain sequence, but I was really happy to create a different journey.

That’s a part of my brain that’s always been engaged with anything creative. It’s almost certainly a trait of my autism, but, as with a lot of autistic traits, it’s very fortunate to have.

Mostly unfounded conspiracy theory time: Pokotan's height and movements in this match make me think there's a 20-30% chance someone I know and love is under that otter head.

The peerlessly photogenic Mizuki has done it again.
an action shot from a wrestling match. 
Jushin Thunder Liger rests his back on the TJPW canvas toward one corner of the ring, trapping Hyper Misao in the romero special. Misao's head is thrown back in agony, making her look like a dying martyr in a classical painting. a pink-frilled Mizuki descends from the heavens like a fallen angel, ready to stomp Misao in the suspended gut

There was a time when I didn't think we'd ever see Yuki Aino have the exact spark she had when she was wrestling with her sister ever again.

It would have been mind blowing if it were just a touch smoother, but it's still pretty damned cool, and a nice variation on a somewhat overplayed theme.

He's been very, very clear about where he got it from and how much he admires it.

Greatest wrestling poster ever.
we are looking at the backs of four young women's heads as they view a work of framed art on a black wall. The women are in their wrestling gear and the two on the right have belts over their shoulders. the art work is of their faces and it is the most intense and beautiful art you will ever witness.

it is a poster for a tag team match between the four women who have been immortalized in photography and line drawing

Anyway, I think the moral of Endo's N1 story this year is that our dear tweener is just a touch too guileless on his own and needs a total bastard in his corner again. (here's a completely random gif from today's match for no reason)

"every fact in the universe about Robert Vaughn"
tumblr post from elementaluncleagent that says "Ok, SO: Between William Shatner’s “I would have married him” comment (about Nimoy), and every fact in the universe about Robert Vaughn, I’m basically positive that the entire genre of slash fanfiction only exists because two closet bisexuals were totally incapable of hiding the fact that they were hot for their cool logical costars on low-budget 1960s tv shows.

I have complicated feelings about that man, but I’ll always love his earlier decades of work and I’ll always love that he did an interview before that awful movie came out where was pretty casual about Illya and queerness.
“The whole idea that you knew nothing about this Russian agent: gay or straight or married, who knew?” He says. Indeed. When I spoke to McCallum, now81, last week, he admitted that he was a bit of a hit with male fans too. “I have met a number of gay men who said they were quite enamoured of Illya Luryakin. It’s wasn’t exclusively women,” he says.

Robert Vaughn did have the much better late in life TV series.

There's a remarkable tidbit buried deep in the comments of a 16 year old slash-heavy Illya Kuryakin fanvid on YouTube.
Britt Dale I worked on the crew for the second season only. McCallum had a body-and-a-half. Even us straight cameramen used to kind of scratch our heads and wonder if we really liked girls when David batted his baby blues and got his dress shirt wet.....A really nice man, btw. A very hard worker. Very professional....I admired him...

There's this extended sequence where Sasaki outsmarts Ueno by being a cunning old bastard who knows how to pick his battles and find his spots...and then he immediately tries to spear a man twice his width.

You have to understand, coming back to the ring and pausing for a moment is like his version of a normal person's collapsing, embracing your prone body, and sobbing.

Anyway, the terribly offensive thing I posted to inspire all of this discussion, which has been called everything from passive aggressive to toxic, was this:
green text over an image of my white, blonde "not fat" self standing at the edge of niagara falls. the text says "if you're smart and conventionally atractive, they let you rawdog autism until you can't manage it anymore and your life falls apart." Ok, but what if I told you that your allegedy ungifted and ugly earlier diagnosed counterparts ALSO rawdogged autism until they couldn't manage anymore. It's just that some of us hit that wall a lot earlier than others"I get that it can be very comforting to think that you only struggled because you were so much better than everyone else. But your fellow autistic people were struggling, too. And having a name for those struggles wasn’t always as helpful as it is now. (All of these memes that erase our experiences and turn us into some nameless mediocre and yucky hoard that stole everyone else’s diagnoses and support doesn’t help, either.)

okay, I think it's The Shark Affair. Napoleon feels some unexpected pangs of jealousy when Illya takes off with Marion in Quadripartite and, next think you know, they're doing hand stuff while drinking cocktails in their boss's office. And getting caught.
Waverly sits at his desk while Napoleon adjusts his collar and Illya tucks his pants in in the background.
