My religion is that episode of South Park where Stan Marsh finds out his son got 'served' by a gang of street dancers, which triggers a crisis of masculinity: "well, did you dance back?"

The funniest things I saw in movies as a 90s kid:
- Daniel Stern briefly becoming a skeleton whilst being horribly electrocuted in Home Alone 2.
- Dave Chapelle in Nutty Professor "women be shoppaaaaiiiiiiin"
- hey the line "it's only an eternity of servitude, this is LOVE" at the end of Aladdin
- Daniel Stern briefly becoming a skeleton whilst being horribly electrocuted in Home Alone 2.

My daughter finished your book in floods of "happy" tears this morning, she has pretty constant battles due to her neurodiversity and i don't think she's ever felt so profoundly seen. Thank-you so so much for writing such a true and hopeful book, it was lovely to meet you too!

D'Angelo was the soundtrack to the year i finally emerged from a decade of mental illness. So, so sad to hear he's gone.
I will never forget him standing onstage in Hammersmith during his incredible live set and singing this like his life depended on it.

The beta for this is out now for backers, and it's as weird & wonderful as I expected: Master & Commander as reimagined by Jeff Vandermeer with the meticulously researched arcane historical details of Annie Proulx. Wonderful stuff from @rossignol.bsky.social and @marshdavies.bsky.social
Our roleplaying game:
- squirms with aquatic awfulness
- invites revenge upon King George III
- has diagrams explaining how wind works
- is now funded
- still won't pay my bills (but YOU could change that, maybe)
Please ameliorate my financial terror by backing:

Tears open a door to a dark world and drags you by the throat deep inside.
It reminded me of nothing more than Henry James' Turn Of The Screw, a masterclass in ambiguity, where the foggy hinterland between reality and nightmare is the war in your head and the path beneath your feet.
Brilliant.

yep, imagine actually engaging with the thematic substance, subtext and implications of the greatest horror script ever written and chucking anything else in the bin. No-one's done that since they added an S. Brilliant.
Noah Hawley is simply the finest writer working in tv today, for me one of the very few who rises above the banal expectations of this over-lit, underbaked, landfill era of 'prestige drama' and reaches back to when the medium was about storytelling for its own sake. Cannot fuckin' wait, basically.
