JACK KIRBY: what? who???

ALAN MOORE: *possessed of the farsight* LIQUID SWORDS

Seltzers & mineral water. I tend toward flavored ones for the former (not sure if Polar sells in AU) but with the latter there are many good options internationally.

The Mothership Vortex: An Investigation Into the Firm at the Heart of the Democratic Spam Machine How a single consulting firm extracted $282 million from a network of spam PACs while delivering just $11 million to actual campaigns.

The annoying spam texts destroying the Democratic brand:

$678M raised through those spam tactics

$282M to one consulting firm: Mothership Strategies.

The party isn’t just treating donors like marks—it’s being fleeced itself yet continues to back Mothership.

"WWE cancels post-PPV press conferences ahead of Summerslam" oh huh wonder why

The uncut version is on Tubi, if you want all the footage that was Too Hot For TV (not Not Too Hot for International Markets). I quite enjoyed it when I watched it last year.

The cover of The Phantom Tollbooth, with a child face-to-face with a watch-dog, which is a dog with a stopwatch embedded in it. The illustration style is scratchy and loose.

The Criterion collection cover for CARNAL KNOWLEDGE, which is the inages of Jack Nicholson, Art Garfunkel, Candace Bergen, and Ann-Margaret

Jules Pfeiffer, the man who illustrated THE PHANTOM TOLLBOOTH, also wrote CARNAL KNOWLEDGE. That's range.

Jonathan Kaplan, Director of ‘The Accused’ and ‘ER,’ Dies at 77 The nephew of Van Heflin also helmed ‘Truck Turner,’ ‘Over the Edge,’ ‘Bad Girls,’ ‘Immediate Family’ and other admired films.

Jonathan Kaplan's TRUCK TURNER was top-shelf blaxploitation, and his juvenile delinquency drama OVER THE EDGE was tough, compassionate and tragic - a classic of the form. He became a studio hired hand later on, but he had the magic. RIP.
