Your power bill has tripled and you can't afford new PC parts just to create this.

Update - I'm committing to the bit. In this first entry, I talk about Gakuryū Ishii, M John Harrison and Kathryn Mohr, which you can read here: dracula.church/church_newsl...

youtu.be/Rm-YpE1LLCA?... how is this not what plays over the credits of Saipan?

Can anyone send me the mp3 for The Last Exit Show Episode 103: It Is Happening Again? All the later episodes appear to be offline.

Just became the first person to refer to Law Roach as "Hal Roach" by accident.

Not a fake out: Lisa and I are pretty sick so genuinely no christmas day episode this year, hoping I can move what is planned to the new year. Will have something up on the patreon but I'll be croaking so might hold off on the episode I spent the last couple of weeks reading 7 books for 🙃🙃

Tough couple of months at the coalface.

bsky.app/profile/pris... Grofield feels as if Westlake, as Stark, set himself an impossible exercise in tone (what if there was a guy who had the same honed paranoia, brutal instinct and mercenary outlook as Parker...but he was also a local theatre ham who loves doing bits) and somehow succeeded.

there should a Kōji Shiraishi film where the taciturn, gnomic guy who the now-missing original director drove for hours to film ponderously explain some arcane piece of local history, the true significance of which will only be revealed much later on, is played by Ghostface Killah.

Interesting to see film posters that draw from ancient traditions (in this instance: having the boss' weak point glow yellow) bsky.app/profile/vor-...

R.I.P. Rosa von Praunheim, truly one of the great queer filmmakers whose work is more urgent and timely than ever

bsky.app/profile/ewac... I totally get why "everyone should work in retail to develop their empathy" is a popular idea but I'm also convinced that being asked "how much are the penny toffees?" several times a day throughout their teenage years had the exact opposite effect on my Da and his brothers.

bsky.app/profile/seve... Great to see two ardent supporters of the podcast among the stacks here (Tim and Oisín). Come to think of it, I've never seen Virginia Woolf mention any podcast by name. Probably safe to assume that's just a blanket policy of hers and she tunes in as well.

in the days since members have fled the discord, the chatbot wished people happy holidays and of course the anthropic exec responded and you just have to read this lmfao www.404media.co/anthropic-ex...

All songs recorded for the bew VP album are available, including the song "John Waters" which is also about John Waters. It is probably the worst song on the album and I am pretty sure Leon tried to hide it. vsevolod-plotkin.bandcamp.com/album/parkin...

There should be option on here that immediately mutes a post when it is rted by anyone defector adjacent. No offense to any of those people at all but it tends herald a load of "The Most Sarcastic 45 Year Old In The Work Slack Is Here And Ready To Riff!" replies that are damaging to the human soul.

Increasingly convinced certain second hand book dealers have an inside track on who's getting reissued. The streets, well 3 places in hay on wye and a couple in london, were suddenly awash with affordable harry matthews last year and now he just happens to be getting a full court press? Hmmmm

Lot of shit things happened this year but on the other hand I just scared my cat laughing after suddenly remembering that Fat Joe tried to claim the Taliban both took a day off when michael jackson died and were shown on CNN solemnly body popping in his memory.

The ironic reclamation of creed has reached its nightmare peak. Waiting to get my hair cut in a barber where both staff and customers are all minimum five years younger than me and a creed playlist is blaring. Unfair to those of us who were there the first time, even pearl jam would be less cruel.

Hahaha. The book, the attempt to crossover with the toy show, the viewcount, "Hyped". A deserving resident of hell.

Tonight in the Hut, Phibsboro (we should be on at 8ish). We've got something weird cooked up.

youtu.be/qEX_sKEBiXE?... the international year of the auld fella continues apace.

Always feel bad for video game people when they start talking about the Geoffscars, assume they're in a kind of MST3K situation where they can't control whether or not they watching those awards because they've used parts of their keyboards to fashion their beloved deckbuilding roguelite mechanics

I'm 42 today. As is tradition, here's a free zine about the books I read in 2025: erinking.itch.io/notable-book...

bsky.app/profile/emo-... well at least I never recorded an episode that long again! 🙃🙃🙃

bsky.app/profile/sard... thought this was brian catling for a second, which I think he would have enjoyed

Despite such episodes both being obstensibly lighter to record and more trivial to research, reducing the number of Internet-based coverage to zero for a few months has massively improved my general feelings about the show. This is definitely mysterious and not the only inevitable outcome.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rq6j... I've not inclined to do the "never kill yourself" thing with food pictures, disordered eating will do that, but it is the main thought I had watching this so here you go.
