One of the smart things Playboy did in the early days (the 1950s) was refuse to let anyone downmarket advertise in them. They held out for high class stuff like expensive whiskey and fancy watches. When it eventually paid off it made them money *and* enhanced their own brand.
I'm in a vintage store with a bunch of old Playboy magazines from the '80s.
A vision of the beauty of long-gone ages.
That is, the damn things are an inch thick, packed with full-page ads. Journalism was so lucrative

There’s been an influx of letters in our postbag about Christmas records and how early they seem to be released through the years, so we thought we’d look into the science for you, our viewers.
So… It’s a WAFR Pop Explainer!

The new Yungblud/Aerosmith EP dropped today. It ain't perfect but it'll do - the fact it exists at all is a blessing.
A band I've loved for 20 years, 55 years into their run, still delivering the goods.

This is a really remarkable video essay on contemporary film and the theories of Laura Marks. It's making me think about movies in a new way.

I’ve had a cabinet reshuffle on my website so the rodents from the monoprint drawings gallery are now in the Rodents gallery and it’s looking a bit more richly populated in there. Here are a few of the nice dudes to be found there. Look, share, buy, thank you x

Unpopular opinion - countries funding Ukraine's fight and offering to provide security guarantees do inevitably need to be involved in discussions about the war's end. The important thing is that Ukraine gets to actively participate in these discussions but they're not the only party with a role.
The US signaled to President Volodymyr Zelenskiy that Ukraine must accept a US-drafted framework to end the war with Russia that proposes Kyiv giving up territory and some weapons, two people familiar with the matter said reut.rs/3X5jBBS

I've been collecting pandemic era signs that nobody can be bothered to take down or remove. There's something grimly fascinating about this. Putting them up was urgent and important; removing them is nobody's job. How long will some of these hang around?

Revisiting Van Halen's A Different Kind of Truth from 2012. Bit of a forgotten album. As Wolfgang Van Halen's solo career keeps growing I wonder if this album will be reconsidered - it was his debut.

This Helmut Newton photograph of Charlotte Rampling doesn't really have any nudity but still manages to be about the naughtiest thing I've ever seen.
