What about the cyanide-carrying koalas and arsenic-armed wallabies?

That, and most Australians have the good sense to live as close to the edge of the country as possible. Though that just gets them closer to the sharks and poisonous jellyfish and octopodes.

That only would have been offensive to the concept of humor.

"parading or demonstrating"

Maybe he wouldn't feel it necessary to be such a prick if he got some head from time to time.

"Usually when "sucking dick" is invoked as a description between two straight men, it's meant to crudely signify one dominating the other, because you've forced them to do something they presumably do not enjoy, and pleasure them at the same time."

It's a sex act, not a "gay sex act".

I think he got some of the magic back in The Wind in the Keyhole. He didn't seem to have put the same pressure on himself with that one, resulting in a story that fits in very well with the best of the series.

Cocaine is a hell of a drug.

Don't worry - the next book is very good, and the one after that is a lot of people's favorite. It's after that when you get a sense that King was worried he'd die before finishing, and therefore started churning 'em out.

That's a hard question to answer, not having seen the series. It sounds like it will be more or less faithful to the novel, though I don't know if that's a point in favor of reading it first or not. I will say that you absolutely should read the novel at SOME point. I might be inclined to watch the first season,…

"Saying you're NOT a feminist and instead a humanist or an egalitarian
removes the focus on the very real INequality that women specifically
face."

Is that exactly what feminism is, though? If it's not focused specifically on correcting inequality between the sexes, but rather all inequality, why does it matter if someone refers to it as egalitarianism or humanism? It seems to me that it is a branch of the tree, rooted in the same desire for equality, but that…
