The Daily Dad
Things you might want to know, for Jun 5, 2023:
- Billy Joel Announces End of Monthly Madison Square Garden Residency — I always kinda hoped I’d get to see him there someday. This is what happens when you drag your feet, kids.
- ‘I’m not used to seeing sex that kinky’: Is The Idol the most shocking TV of the year? — I don’t know who’s ultimately responsible for how brilliantly this show has been promoted, but they’re getting a corner office before too long. I’m sure it’ll end up being fairly tame, but I’ll be ready for the first ep to drop all the same.
- Idle rich baffled by poor people’s distaste for dangerous, low-paying jobs
- From pole to canvas: Exploring BDSM through dance and art
- Google’s Android and Chrome extensions are a very sad place. Here’s why — This isn’t why I use neither Android nor Chrome… but it doesn’t help.
- Vita Radium Suppositories (ca.1930) — Before Viagra, there were radioactive buttplugs.
- I’m a ‘mommy’ dominatrix — CEOs pay me to humiliate them with my hijab on
- The rise of rough sex in the time of sexual recession: ‘I want to be manhandled without being judged for it’ — Wait until she figures out that it’s even better when he manhandles you and judges you for it.
- Intimacy Coordinator Shows What It’s Like To Choreograph Sex Scenes — Do I think the whole “intimacy coordinator” thing is important for every film? Not necessarily. But if you’ve got a production big enough to need a stunt coordinator and a second unit director, then you’re big enough to need a specialist in charge of bumpin’ uglies.
- Gurman: Apple May Announce Drop of ‘Hey Siri’ Trigger Phrase at WWDC — I am very skeptical of this. I’d love to be wrong… I hope they’ve figured out how to dramatically reduce the number of erroneous invocations, to such a degree that dropping the “hey” is viable. But I’m not getting my hopes up.
- Trippy TV returns with The Sid & Marty Krofft Channel — I was a Land of the Lost kid. “Marshall, Will, and Holly, on a routine expedition…”
- Criminal Charges and Consensual Kink — Some well-intentioned thinking. Kind of out of step with how real people live real human lives, but still… interesting.
- Book-ban advocates gnash teeth over Utah school Bible removal — I don’t want to generalize, but book-ban advocates of all stripes can go fuck themselves.
- Digital finances were a boon for the legal adult industry. Now, they’re shutting out sex workers. — PayPal shut me down in 2002 for “providing adult services”. I have successfully held a grudge for twenty years now.
- Russian spy beluga trying to come in from the cold — Spongy-headed, boop-nosed death machines.
