And the fascists have the outfits, but I don't care for the outfits

So I have caught the first cold of the changing season and it immediately messed one of my ears right up, but I have a hot compress and a lot of orange juice and selkie just pointed me toward Cassandra Khaw saying wonderful things about my collection and that's done a lot to improve my afternoon. I am honored to be compared to Robert MacFarlane. Khaw's neo-Lovecraftian neo-noir Hammers on Bone (2016) is no slouch itself.

rydra_wong has been describing the latest political developments as a ghost garden of Watergate. I like this image and hope it produces the correct effect on the landscape.

I still haven't forgiven TCM for pulling Hotel Berlin (1945) out of the buffer when I was nine minutes into it, but I have just realized that I have once again in my life a couch I can lie on and watch movies, so my hot compress and I are going to do that.

Ghod I hate it when sinus + ear stuff combines, it's tortures.

More cheerfully, did you see this Roman Swiss Army knife? https://twitter.com/artinsociety/status/1040479394802761729

I really feel I could just have gotten a starter cold this early in the season, you know? Low-grade fever, mild sore throat, forty-eight hours at most. What would it have hurt?

No! That's amazing. Look, someone got to publish an article entitled "Roman folding spoons."

THANK YOU FOR THE SWISS ARMY KNIFE (there's a joke to be made here about Vatican Swiss Guards but I'm too Jewish to supply it).

Holy Roman Imperial Swiss Army knives!
