Horror anthologist. "This generation's Hugh Lamb" - Mike Mignola "A valuable man" - Stewart Lee AuDHD. Got the morbs.
One of the things about discourse around The Odyssey is that only a couple of movies a year manage to get into 'the discourse' now, so everyone has to have an opinion on them In the old days there would be a Peter Greenaway film out by now to distract everyone & give them something new to talk about
Didn't expect Ben to reply, but glad he has. Time trips us all.
Ben Goldacre@bengoldacre.bsky.social · yesterdayApologies: I’m not online much, I haven't paid any attention to Rod Liddle for a long time, I didn't really know his extremes. I do now: I wouldn’t have posted if I'd known. I’ve seen death of difficult people up close (and its impact on others): that’s the only reason it was on my mind as an issue.
And it rained in Plymouth today for the first time in AGES!

He also wrote an entire article about disabled activist Jody MacIntyre, belittling his motives and intelligence, calling him "Andy from Little Britain". Despite complaints, the Press Complaints Commission decided this was fine.
A child draws a great white that she had in a dream. She takes the drawing to the ocean at the same time witches invoke some spells. Jaws comes to life and is unstoppable until a marine biologist who also moonlights as a cartoonist puts two and two together. "These bite marks are *animated!*"

But silencing was what Liddle was *all about*. He silenced women, minorities and LGBTQ with his rhetoric and bile. No, he was called out in life but he didn't care, so at least in death history forever marketh the man for the cunt he was and he'll be remembered as.
Ben Goldacre@bengoldacre.bsky.social · 2d agoSad to see people posting on social media negatively about Rod Liddle, who died yesterday. If I have disagreed with you very strongly in life - and you die - I hope I'll be either silent, or kind.
Rod Liddle's dead. Remember that time he wrote that if he was a teacher he'd be trying to shag school kids? Yeah, no great loss.
Now my 5th essay for the BFI - others include ALL MY FRIENDS HATE ME, BRANNIGAN, DANCE CRAZE and REMEMBRANCE - quite an eclectic mix and still no horror!
Johnny Mains@johnnymains.co.uk · 3d agoAh, it's public! Proud to announce that I've written an essay on early Madness videos for the upcoming BFI release of TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT.

I went to a Kathe Kollwitz exhibition in my early Twenties and it's fair to say she became part of my self-defining experiences.

'Aldeburgh' is a sequel to M.R. James' 'A Warning to the Curious' and features James as one of the characters. Was a lot of fun to write - but I still want to write my M.R. James, E.G. Swain and E.F. Benson gay ghost hunters novella... Throw me the price of a coffee if you like it!
