#PhantomsFriday A couple of fine cover artworks for editions of 'The Ghost Hunter's Road Book' by John Harries (L: 1968, R: 1974 revised edition). The hardback has a very effective bleak and chilly vibe, but the paperback with it's figure with menacing glowing red eyes is an all-time favourite.
Look how simple those questions are and it all falls apart. Now look at the questions media outlets usually opt to ask, instead.

If "Death of the Author" means interpreting a text need not conform to the creator's intent, this might be "Death of the Audience," where there is no interpretation to do at all. A reader is not expected (nor encouraged) to find meaning. Consumerist Non-Being, like an anti-zen breathing exercise.

Every so often that polite mask slips, offering more context for the "confusing" choice of defenses for the indefensible.
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.
Not many people know this but if you put two carrots up your butt nothing really happens but you can brag about it
Edward scissor hands has never fingerblasted someone behind Big Tesco
This whole absurd farce has inflicted, and will inflict, an unconscionable amount of injury and death on innocent, vulnerable people. But when it collapses—which it will—this woman and everyone who advanced it should be made to carry the shame and ignominy of its creation for the rest of their days.
The website I’m streaming the new Spiderman film on has found a way to predict the future of advertisement
Rod Liddle's full name was Rhodesia Liddle so make of that what you will.
the thing that stands out amid all of this is that it depends on a definition of ‘common sense’ that is utterly exclusionary, not just of trans people but of *anyone* who doesn’t absolutely conform to a victorian ideal of gender, sexuality, clothing, presentation
Gregk Foley@gregk.co.uk · 3h agoI personally find it reassuring and not at all an indication that I'm listening to a dipshit crank when an interview begins with the regular line, "It wouldn't usually be proportionate to have somebody on the door of every single toilet or changing room asking people their sex before they went in."
It's unfortunate that whenever these people are pressed for details on how they plan to get the rest of society to uphold and enforce their believed common sense solutions to the gender threat, they all sound like a bunch of moronic, delusional freaks, isn't it? It doesn't make sense.
"Human beings are very good at telling the sex of somebody that they're talking to; we've evolved over thousands of years to be able to do that." Which is why, after thousands of years, we now require you and your good friends to legislate on this pressing issue—proportionately, of course.
