You got left in the fine print

I seem to be dreaming in nonexistent media. The night before last it was more films by Powell and Pressburger featuring David Farrar. Last night it was a sort of Dennis Potter-ish teleplay about a murder investigation whose detective might have been ambiguously supernatural or just ambiguously queer. Today was very doctor-centric. I want the time to watch things while awake. Have some links.

3. I like this song a lot: Quantic & Nidia Góngora's "Macumba de Marea," from their forthcoming Almas Conectadas (2021).

4. I don't at all like this article on far-right radicalization via transphobia on TikTok, but it's better to have the information than not.

5. I hope someone on Tumblr has let this conversation know about Q. Fabius Maximus Eburnus, who got his nickname pullus Iovis—"Jupiter's chick"—after he was struck by lightning in the ass.

P.S. I am just about every audio drama behind on Torchwood, even the ones with Murray Melvin, but I may be morally obligated to check out Ianto meets the Mari Lwyd.

Between the glitter cannon, a person's watermarked kilted equipage, and the Roman censor's contemporaries all going "Eh, does what says on tin," I am very gratified to be alive despite the TikTok thing.

IS THE "FLYING ENTRANCE ON SPAR SET PIECE" or "GLITTER. CANNON." WHAT GAYS THAT UP THE MOST?

I am glad!

The TikTok thing is not entirely surprising, but I appreciate that someone did the research for the sake of being able to point to it, even if I hate the fact of the results.

THE GLITTER CANNON IS HARD TO BEAT.
