    I’ve been working through a few biographies of the top brass of Nazidom, and even with the rather perfunctory understanding I’ve gained from these books of Hitler’s seizure of power and all that followed in Nazi Germany, my ears are pricking up in horror every day as I listen to the latest news from around the world. And I’m not even going so far as the Holocaust. If the Holocaust and WWII never happened, the Nazi regime would still have been an unmitigated nightmare.

    The language certain politicians are using is plucked directly from the mouths of Goebbels’ and Himmler’s rotting corpses. How can they not see what lies ahead if they continue with this shit? We know how this story ends. We have examples of it from recent memory, we don’t even need to cast our minds back to the 1930s 🤷‍

    This is why I keep my front door key in my foreskin. Either I evade the pickpocket, or I make a new friend. I cannot lose.

    As a younger man, I was able to unlock the door hands-free. These days, I need to fish the key out of my floppy beige KKK hood like a sock trapped in a duvet cover on laundry day.


  • Known to horror aficionados, but not to general movie watchers: Lake Mungo (2008)

    I highly recommend you don’t read up on it. Besides the fact that the film just works so much better when you come to it fresh, most reviews - both in print and YouTube videos - spoil pivotal scenes, including in the artwork they choose to use as a thumbnail/heading. Just watch it. Even if the horror doesn’t work for you (many people report being bored by the film), it’s still a great film with surprising depth and heart. It’s worth checking off your list for sure.

    The basics: It’s a mockumentary set in Australia, made by a director/writer who hasn’t done anything before or since, featuring actors who probably aren’t known to you, even if you’re an Aussie. Much of the dialogue is improvised, so it feels very real and natural.

    Try to watch it alone, in the dark, with no distractions (turn off your phone). This will help maximise your chances of being one of the lucky people the film has managed to scare in a profound way. I’m one of those lucky people, I’m happy to say!




  • What I find most difficult to grasp about this theory is that a pyramid made of blocks is hardly the sort of “aliens was here” construction one would expect from a race of creatures that had the technology to travel between star systems, presumably faster than the speed of light, or at least utilising wormholes or something. Like, how about you give us some of that new physics and maybe sans the goofy-ass ordered piles of rubble that serve no purpose and teach us fuck-all?

    😭 the only thing worse than an animal going extinct, is being the last member of the species who still has a life left to live. Jesus, that’s some profoundly, cosmically depressing shit. And I’m not sure if it’s better or worse for the animal to be aware that it’s the last of its kind. Fruitlessly calling for a mate, or knowing there’s no point bothering.



  • Imagine being any of those initials and thinking Trump is your guy. Not just Trump, but Vance, MTG, Mike Johnson, and the rest of those creepy juiceless cunts, at least 80% of whom are self-hating and in the closet while simultaneously gutting hard-won protections for LGBTQ+ people and convincing their voters you’re all paedophiles and groomers. Will there be much room for being non-straight in a post-Project 2025 America?

    May the leopards take their sweet time with you cretinous sellouts. Your preferred conservative tax policy isn’t gonna deflect the bigots’ bullets when Christofascists are in power, and your votes for these evil bastards essentially represent the bullets you’re buying and earmarking for your fellow non-straights. Hence, excruciating leopard deaths all around 🖕
