Things you might want to know, for May 9, 2023:
- Sex. Therapy. Acne. Why I bare all, by Sports Illustrated’s Olivia Ponton — Sports Illustrated… is still a thing?
- Meet Melanie and Chayse: The disabled woman and her sex worker
- Sex-Cult Rocket Man — The emphasis here is on (oc)cult rather than sex, but still… interesting.
- The 25 Best-Selling Books Of All Time — I’ve read none of the twenty-five. And of those books that have become movies, I fell asleep watching most of them.
- Hilton Hotel manager arrested for sucking guest’s toes in Nashville — I… I just… good grief. Did this motherfucker get confused and think he was living out The White Lotus?
- Is New Haven the best pizza city? — Yes, it damned sure is. Best pizza I’ve ever had.
- Why sad TV men are the internet’s ‘babygirls’ — This is somewhere between adorable and degrading, so naturally I think it’s terribly funny.
- Darkest Dungeon 2 is an awkward sequel, but I can’t stop playing it — I’m not sure what I wanted from a DD2 —except maybe more variety in rooms and enemies— but this doesn’t sound even close. If they make a demo, maybe I’ll try it…
- Something Awful is racing to save the best and worst of web history
- May the Force always be with you — Ignore the vague title… this is actually a piece documenting the congratulatory torch-passing that’s been happening among Hollywood blockbuster-makers since the days of Jaws.
- Trinity Test is front and center in trailer for Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer — I guess Branagh is one of Nolan’s regulars now.
