    Brazilian jiu-jitsu ‘Today we're talking about three things really: three submissions, and those three submissions are the head arm choke, the triangle for mount, and the rear naked choke… I want to talk about details pertaining to leading up to the submission… then I want to talk about how to do the actual submission…’ The guy being dominated then yawns

    Is there anyone that has every service? …in which case why don’t all platforms offer PPV (at a non-punitive rate ) to cater for the 99.99% that don’t? (OK, I invented that bogus stat but the point is fair I think )

    try to forget about these nightmare dolls before I go to bed

    don’t watch movies with dolls in them (see ‘Dolls are Evil’ thread which proves that dolls r evil and will kill you )

    When civilisations ‘disappear’ (which they’ve all done so far) their ‘traces’ can also disappear surprisingly quickly

    just emailed ‘admin’ about a cryptic screen message I’ve just had when trying to login: ”Misdirected Request The client needs a new connection for this request as the requested host name does not match the Server Name Indication (SNI) in use for this connection.” apparently a lot of ‘overseas’ websites hosting user content (GA stories) and social interactions (GA forums) are being forced to block UK access as from today (25/7/25) Fortunately I’ve now been able to login but I’m not sure if the above was a temporary glitch or a harbinger of what’s to come…

    Ozzie’s final gig was just over 2 weeks ago, earlier this month, at the Aston Villa football ground, Birmingham the 40,000 tickets and livestream raised nearly $200m, a record for charity concerts good on you Ozzie and R.I.P.

    sadly there’s nothing new about this tired old trope/cliche yes, these tragedies have happened and far too often down the decades, but this seemingly relentless obsession by writers / producers could be construed as borderline fetishism …and in these gruesomely depressing times I need me some uplifting entertainment!

    no-one ever lost money ‘misunderestimating’ public taste (Bush/Mencken - kinda…)

    Carlos Alcaraz if the 22yo Spaniard wins on Sunday, he will be the second youngest player in the Open Era to win three consecutive Wimbledon titles after Bjorn Borg tbh this is just a pathetic excuse to show some gratuitous shirtless pics of Carlos taken from today’s match when he beat Taylor Fritz

    sorry, I assumed ‘2001: Space Odyssey’ was referring to the movie, which I’ve watched many many times (one of my all-time faves) but I never read the book version, nor these other books you just mentioned Clarke’s sexuality was I think well-known - indeed there was a Michael Jackson-type ‘scandal’ concerning the many boys in his life in Sri Lanka - so I’m not surprised that homosexuality would feature in his works. But, as a gay guy, I never once in my many viewings detected homosexual undercurrents in the 2001 movie - guess I was too fixated on Kubrick’s amazing (even today) visual images

    finding gay subtexts anywhere / everywhere seems to be a staple of university ‘research papers’ https://eprints.bbk.ac.uk/id/eprint/4234/1/4234.pdf but I guess academics are under the same pressures to ‘produce’ as the rest of us

    I understand that the same was sadly true at this time in many (most?) states of the US (Bowers v Hardwick 1986) feel free to add as much further detail as you wish, and/or correct me if I’m wrong

    A Little Respect (1988) If you’re not familiar with 80s pop then this is a great example from songwriting duo Vince Clarke and Andy Bell (‘Erasure’) who released their synth-pop hit 37 years ago it still sounds as lively, fresh and joyful as the day it was recorded - probably why it’s been covered, re-mixed and re-released so many times since enduring songs don’t need to reach #1 (it reached #4 in the UK charts

    sadly many have no-one to help “pull them up from that”

    It’s easy to dismiss short films like this as ‘slight’ because not much happens, not much is said, and it’s all been done before But what’s actually happening (as those who have lived this experience will understand) is all internal - the thoughts, feelings, loneliness, longing, and of course the disappointment and fear. All these things this short film conveys well And the message is important - keeping these things ‘internal’ can have terrible consequences. ‘Silent Secrets’ should not stay silent
