but of course “men bad,” amirite ladies? no man who talks about loneliness could ever possibly BE LONELY. never mind that capitalism has siloed each one of us to the point of incipient madness and all human contact is a cold transaction. like and share so everyone knows how super icky boys are! 😜

I got this album on cassette from my brother for Christmas in 1996. This Christmas I upgraded it courtesy of my brother-in-law. An absolute top ten favourite album @remhq.bsky.social

Got this for Christmas and am blasting through it. Never got into the Metroid series but played Super Metroid for the first time last year and loved it. Dread feels like a better modern update than the remakes/remasters. Highly recommend.

The only adaptation of The Odyssey anyone will ever need is "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou". Nolan has an awfully big hill to climb to do that justice.

Christmas is a time of "traditions" so I wrote about the inherent conservatism of the concept of 'tradition' over on Medium today. leoacookman.medium.com/christmas-tr...
