sorry i don't find "reminding me of cat's cradle in a really unnerving way" to be a very effective usp

its too bad joy division couldnt

idk personally i wouldnt want to be seen as chummy with a human rights abusing dictator or as stepping on the toes of a sexual violence awareness organization but yeah its not fair to assume everybody feels similarly

it's kind of like the j-lo performaing for a dictator thing insofar as it would have tken like 12 seconds for a lackey to pull up wikipedia on their ipad and prevent the singer in question from looking a fool

how does it not set off instant alarm bells in peoples heads to hear a southern governor advocating for something on the basis of state's rights

yeah my family drinks bud light on the 4th too

if you watch ray donovan you're supporting jon voight who supports sean hannity

eroticization as otherization dawg

the 20th century called it wants its stereotype of all gay people as sex maniacs back

david yow going on with "seasick" after getting bottled is the most inspiring thing i've ever seen

THEY WERE ALL TWIX

there's lots of superficial parallels with house of leaves (spooky expanding house, oversized book that plays with empty space and color coding, &c.) but it doesn't indulge in hol's feeble clowning on lit-crit, and "mother" and "father" and "son" are a damn sight more interesting than the navidsons ever were despite…

throw some gaddis in there
