welcome to my weird little place

You listen to music regularly? Why? Have you even tried quitting? Could you quit? You get music stuck in your head? Wow. You're so ruined and music brained. I bet you make your partners listen to music with you when you have sex. Music addiction has really ruined a whole generation. You know it's not realistic to expect reverb in real life, right? You're probably so desensitized that you don't even feel anything anymore when you hear a bird singing that it wants some fuck.

My favorite Philomena Cunk bits are when she's talking to Professor Ronald Hutton, who specializes in folklore and paganism in the British Isles. Mainly because she's trying her damnest to throw him off by asking the stupidest questions she can think of, and he's not even phased because he's a folklore and paganism historian so OF COURSE he's been asked worse questions in earnest.

He has a very soothing way of speaking

He's one of my favorite TV historians and shows up in Farm Series and its related shows a lot to contextualize the festivals and rituals they do on there and explain what they meant to the people who lived in the time period. One of my favorite lectures he gives on is about bonfires and the superstition around the Bloody Flux and how we had no idea what actually caused it until some fairly recent humanitarian crises.

Irving Finkel does well with her, too. He is a treasure as always.

Bloopers are movie aftercare and it’s fucked up that we got rid of them

I used to set this one for second year undergraduate creative writing seminars on writing science fiction on a double bill with Octavia E. Butler's "Bloodchild" and no-one here gets out alive.

I paused the robot vacuum so I could listen to this 1950’s story predicting the robot vacuum.

people are witnessing the naked face of the great beast Leviathan lately and they're just not loving the horrific visage
