that guy and the "ibiza final boss" need to form a villain team immediately

photo of a chunky muscular tattooed white guy in a black vest top, wearing a chunky gold chain necklace and big black sunglasses, seemingly taken in a crowd of people dancing outdoors. he has a chinstrap beard and goatee combo and is squishing his face up so that the mustache is directly under his nose. crowning the look he has dark hair cut in an extremely round bowl cut, it literally looks like he has a wooden bowl on his head. the overall effect is that his head looks like an acorn

okay i'll bite. fuck the nyt by the way, don't give them any clicks. Just scribble on the jpeg as god intended

a list of "100 best tv shows of the 21st century", but i've blanked out most of the header text so it just says "100 tv shows of the 21st century". it has checkboxes next to each item for "i've seen it" and "i want to see it". in the former column i've put green and blue marks, with green meaning "seen all of it" and blue "gave up on it quickly".

there are green marks for breaking bad (#1), fleabag (#5), chernobyl (#19), better caul saul (#27), key & peele (#29), severance (#30), andor (#32), true detective season 1 (#35), bojack horseman (#44), twin peaks: the return (#47), the good place (#51), insecure (#55), i think you should leave (#57), the thick of it (#63), beef season 1 (#71), squid game (#72), halt and catch fire (#96), and the o.a. (#98).

there are blue marks for game of thrones (#6), curb your enthusiasm (#9), the office u.k. (#16), black mirror (#26), stranger things (#53), peep show (#60), ru paul's drag race (#61), and the bear (#74). game of thrones has an asterisk next to it for a footnote saying "after about 15 minutes".

the column of checkboxes for "i want to see it" is entirely unchecked.

it was already at least 15 years old when our neighbor gave it away to me but i didn't care. it broke in some way after a while, so i took it apart and decorated my bedroom with its circuit boards. not long after that in 1995 i got my first modern computer, an apple power macintosh 7100/80

a true classic of the genre, along with arkell v. pressdram (1971)

text from a magazine page, which reads:

Dear Sir,

We act for Mr Arkell who is Retail Credit Manager at Granada TV Rental Ltd. His attention has been drawn to an article appearing in the issue of Private Eye dated 9th April 1971 on page 4. We are therefore instructed to require from you immediately your proposals for dealing with the matter.

Mr Arkell's first concern is that there should be a full retraction at the earliest possible date in Private Eye and he will also want his costs paid. His attitude to damages will be governed by the nature of your reply.

Yours etc.

This letter has now been replied to as follows:

Dear Sirs,

We acknowledge your letter of 29th April referring to Mr J. Arkell.

We note that Mr Arkell's attitude to damages will be governed by the nature of our reply would therefore be grateful if you could inform us what his attitude to damages would be, were he to learn that the nature of our reply as is follows: fuck off.

Yours etc.

Readers will be kept abreast of any further developments.

trick question. the construction workers' buses don't have any. either you know that and you're being dishonest or you live in an unreal bubble. either way get the uae's human rights fixed and then maybe someone will give a fuck about what the power source is for dubai's air conditioned bus shelters

these moderation decisions disproportionately affecting trans people are almost certainly made by an in-house-developed "ai". and what do those have?

four panels from the simpsons episode "bart gets famous", with modified dialog subtitles.

panel 1: bart's classmates and teacher ms. krabapple looking expectantly towards the camera. martin prince is in the center, speaking: "Say the line, Bart!"

panel 2: closeup on bart, looking mournful.

panel 3: closeup on bart, dejectedly saying: "Biased training data."

panel 4: shot of the whole class and teacher cheering as bart looks miserable, surrounded on all sides

idly browsing i have discovered something incredible - in 1984 hustler magazine published an "erotic" photoshoot directed by frank zappa, based on scenes from his musical THING-FISH! absolutely wild addition to the library of zappa lore archive.org/details/hust...

cover image with title reading FRANK ZAPPA'S THING-FISH. it's a head and shoulders portrait of presumably the titular thing-fish, which is a guy with a huge lumpy head like a potato, and a yellow beak, and pitch black eye sockets and a little dangly white soul patch. he's accompanied by a much smaller guy who's kind of the same species, but has a differently-shaped head and also a third eye way up in it.

text below says:

Based on scenes from the impending Broadway musical, staring Ike Willis as the THING-FISH, Annie Ample as RHONDA, Robert Axelrod as HARRY, Phil De Carlo as THE UNKNOWN ITALIAN, with SISTER OB'DEWLLA "X" and THE CRAB-GRASS BABY as themselves.

SS:

an example of part of the photoshoot. christ where do i even start with this. okay. two photos. the first one shows four actors on a stage set which seems to be at christmas, there's snow on the ground and a wall with candles in back. a young white guy with a bowl cut and black glasses, wearing a studded bondage harness top and armbands, and black leather pants which have a bunch of spaghetti crammed into the crotch area, is carrying and making out with the little guy from the first picture, a puppet about four feet tall who's wearing an old-timey scullery maid's outfit with a gingham dress. the thing-fish is standing immediately behind them, also wearing a scullery maid's outfit, carrying a ukulele. in front of them a young white woman, naked apart from white stockings and suspender belt and calf-high black boots with white fur trim, and has a big shock of platinum-bleached hair sticking out in all directions 1970s punk style, is sat in the snow grimacing and sticking one arm out in the air while a middle-aged italian man wearing a leather motorcycle cap, white vest and underwear, and black socks is poking one of her boobs with an "enormous vinyl salami".

the second photo is a closeup on the faces of the man and little guy. they're smoking cigarettes and looking post-orgasmic. actually the little guy looks kind of like howard the duck if a nuclear explosion had blown off all his feathers and scorched him brown and the radiation had made him grow a third eye on his forehead.

a text panel says:

After dropping his imaginary load, HARRY and his beloved enjoy a couple of Marlboros. The UNKNOWN ITALIAN displays a traditional home remedy for HARRY'S rare mental disorder. RHONDA has decided that the only thing left for her to do is fuck her briefcase.

six years ago i adopted a kitten who'd just had to have a front leg amputated after some kind of injury. it was one of the best decisions of my life. adopt a less adoptable pet today, you won't regret it for a single moment

photo looking down at a beautiful tiny tuxedo kitten who's looking up at you and reaching for you with his one front paw. he has a messy patch around his nose where he has been sticking his face into some food, big wiggly white whiskers, and gorgeous round eyes

selfie of me, a white woman with dark brown shoulder length hair, with the same tuxedo cat fully grown sitting on my lap. one of my arms is across my knees and he's draped his front paw over it and is resting his head on my wrist. i look very happy

it's always the same shit with these neurotic motherfuckers. i'm currently reading "before equal protection: the fall of cross-dressing bans and the transgender legal movement" by kate redburn and she quotes one from 1972. fifty-four fucking years ago scholarship.law.columbia.edu/cgi/viewcont...

excerpt of article linked in this post. reads:

In 1972, teenagers Jerome Swigart and Frederick LaFitte, for example, were simply walking down the street wearing women’s clothing in Sarasota, Florida, when they were picked up and later charged with “appearing in the dress of another person not belonging to the same sex.” When defendants challenged these sorts of arrests, police and prosecutors often attempted to justify their actions by referencing their fear of men using women’s bathrooms. The Houston chief of police told a reporter, “We have a lot of people here who would like to dress in women’s clothes and ‘tippie toe’ in and out of women’s restrooms,” when asked why he was enforcing the city’s anti-cross-dressing ordinance in 1972.

one my other little pleasures is straightforward accommodation. this is where i'm staying this week, in a guesthouse. it's literally just a small comfortable room in a house, the bathroom is next door. i think there are other people here but i haven't seen them. perfect. £30 a night!
