Enjoyed the New Yorker interview with Tim Curry, a free-wheeling conversation in which there were several sensitive questions about his paralyzing stroke. But oh my goodness, why was there no follow-up at all to this staggering answer? www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

Screenshot of text from the interview:

You’ve always been an incredibly physical performer: your strut during “Sweet Transvestite” in “Rocky Horror,” or the way you run around unfurling the mystery at the end of “Clue.” Do you still feel that in your body? Does that live somewhere in you still?

I think it does, but it’s angry. My mobility is angry to get out. But it’s not happened yet. I do a certain amount of physical therapy. I did a whole bunch of it at Cedars-Sinai, and I got very close, I think, to walking. That was tantalizing. For insurance reasons, I had to withdraw. And I have a visiting physical therapist now, but I can only really do exercises from my bed, which is pretty pathetic. It’s not going to get me walking, I don’t believe.

[I have underlined the sentence "For insurance reasons, I had to withdraw."]

The death of multi-camera TV: a thread. I know most of you will know the technical parts of this (and may have read it in the other place) but bear with me. 1/ 🧵

What makes you proud to be British? For me, this is right up there.

A one-star review from a Texan tourist visiting Liverpool:

“My wife and I visted Liverpool for our 30th wedding anniversary from Texas. Our evening was ruined when a man dressed as an adult baby called my wife a "Mad yank slut" because she'd never heard of a band called Steps.”

Not only is the intensity of the male libido often overstated, but many men who have sex with women feel that having a higher libido than their partner is a fundamental component of their masculinity. A woman who constantly wants to bang is not a prize, she’s a reminder that you’re not man enough.

whole thing is even worse than the headline when you think about what 'play' means here

“I’m just as concerned for you! Don’t worry about me! It would seem we are in this together and will have to rise above it. Otherwise keep in close touch and we’ll play some more soon!!!!”"

No other film ending has ever gone this hard. Every time this rolls up on-screen I immediately think, “Damn right I have.”

I genuinely don’t get the goal here. Is it just sex? You can get sex with less effort than this, or at the very least with money. why go through the effort of faking a connection, I genuinely can’t comprehend this, it feels deranged

Marie Le Conte @youngvulgarian.marieleconte.com · 14h

this is sociopathic behaviour and I think we need to treat it as such! just because something has become easy to do doesn't mean it has become less creepy, or more acceptable!

Pinkerton was originally set during imperial Japan but ultimately rivers cuomo decided that teenage girls were a bit too mature for him then so they made it modern

Nick's next call was to Kew's own police force. (Yes, Kew has a specialist force responsible for on-site security. Established in 1845, the Kew Gardens Constabulary was originally staffed by part-time gardeners and veterans of the Crimean War.)

OK, idea:

All games must now include Gooner Mode. Activate it and the adult female characters get M-cup boobs and bikinis. That's what it'll say. In reality, Gooner Mode will turn the screen black so ppl can look at their sad reflections before reading the message: Your mom would be ashamed of you.

Gamers’ brains are so cooked dude. The woman on the right is gorgeous and beautiful. Straight gamer men literally can’t find normal women attractive anymore.

Feels like "a bunch of ICE new hires are actually registered sex offenders" is a shoe waiting to drop given how certainly little vetting anyone is doing of these guys.

Oh shit, ANTIFA is suiting up

From the sound of music. Seven children stand in a line inside a grand house, wearing identical light blue sailor-style uniforms with dark collars, neckties, and knee socks. They are arranged from tallest to shortest, standing at attention on a patterned rug with a staircase and ornate wall paneling behind them.

This is how I talk and how my family talks and it’s because we love and care about what each other is saying and we are actively participating!

Anil Dash @anildash.com · 3d

It absolutely *is* polite! Cooperative overlap is a supportive and loving way of talking. There are only, like.. one or two cultures where it's _not_ considered polite, and they can go fuck themselves if they think the rest of us have to conform lol www.anildash.com/2021/09/26/c...
