please make it stop
HBO is officially developing ‘THE BIRDS’, a new series inspired by Alfred Hitchcock's film. Starring Sarah Snook, the series is a modern-day reimagining of the film set in Alaska with a murder mystery at the center. (Source: Deadline)

I have a new story out today in Hobart. Many thanks to my editor @yunghegelian_. This story is about my time catering orgies for William Friedkin, the director of such films as Sorcerer and The Exorcist. You can read it at the link below!

I find Turnstile and all the Zoomer "hardcore" bands just sound like a weird Baudrillardian simulacrum, like they pieced together punk and hardcore and guitar bands generally from contextless snippets and broken artefacts uncovered online. Copies with no original.
Turnstile on SNL is a bigger deal than you think
