I don’t know why anyone expects him to tell the truth about anything. I don’t know why the media continues to cover him as if he is a normal person with a normal relationship to the truth.
He’s a carnival barker. He’s been a carnival barker as long as he’s been in the public eye.

2/2 #AScareADay Barker "The Midnight Meat Train"
...carved by a cleaver-wielding macrophage) intended to feed the ancient & vast, distended organism that is the city's true & implacable being,
then we might have before us, even under the pavement, Barker's horrorscape.
Luckily, it's only fiction.

If someone were to make incarnate the merciless monstrosity that is a city,
whose streets are the skin on which two-legged parasites unknowingly scuttle about,
whose subways are arteries surging blood (& fleshly bits...

Something I said to Becky yesterday is that when we think of 80s horror we immediately go to King for obvious reasons, but we should probably be going to Clive Barker just as quickly because he was creating sympathetic monster characters as a gay man living through the Reagan era AIDS crisis.

As a big Clive Barker fan, I was really intrigued by this back in the day. It's got a lot of fascinating concepts, but it's clearly a product of its time, and had development issues. I remember especially being frustrated by how bullet spongey the enemies were. Nice Hellraiser edits btw lol

There IS a Clive Barker game that is actually good, its called Clive Barker's Undying and its a 2000's era FPS.
The protagonist of the game might make you interested because it was originally gonna be a scarred tattoo occultist, until Clive looked at him and demandem they put in a Hunky man instead.

He’s always been one of those “no no no Lankford is one of the good ones” types when he’s just as much a radicalized carnival barker as MJT.

This orange-faced buffoon shows his real reason for wanting to be president; he's now seeking from the DOJ roughly $230 million to compensate himself for being investigated and indicted; it's a modern-day in-the-taxpayers' face shakedown; tell this sick demented circus carnival barker to flake off.
Trump wants DOJ to pay him $230 million for previous investigations: Sources
President Trump is pressing the DOJ to pay him roughly $230 million as a settlement for probes he faced during the Biden administration and his first term, sources say.

Bob Barker: “a new player piano!”

One unexpected quirk of watching a lot of vintage Price is Right in quick succession is they often try to get rid of the same prizes in multiple episodes, such as the completely unappealing player piano they keep trying to unload on people

"The Two Ronnies" was a sketch comedy show, starring Ronnie Corbett and Ronnie Barker, with a supporting cast. The book here is a compilation of several of their sketches, cartoonishly illustrated, featuring a great deal of word play and typical British humor.
