So this whole LJ Paedogeddon business, with loads of fandom communities and the like getting suspended for having illegally wrongcocked interests listed? I'm puzzled. OK, so no concerned citizens objected to my journal having interests such as 'acquiring WMD', 'world domination' and 'international jewel theft' listed - because hey, we know that protecting the dear little children is far more important than enforcing any other silly old laws, right? But this being the case, how come none of this lot seem to have been in trouble?

Will Self on Nick Cave.

My Rubbish Gaydar, season 17 episode 3: I genuinely never suspected David Hyde Pierce aka Niles Crane from Frasier, is gay.

Slightly disappointed by the return of Garth Ennis' too-hot-for-DC superhero satire The Boys. The first six issues were scabrous, but they had real substance to them. The new one, the first from new home Dynamite...it's not very well-produced, it has one really glaring typo, but above all it feels as cheap artistically as physically. It was always puerile in places, but this issue was *just* puerile - rude words for rude words' sake, over and over. It has become like Ennis' lame 'The Pro', a risk this series always ran but previously escaped.

Disappointed also to learn that I'd misheard the lyrics to the Shins' 'Kissing The Lipless'. It's "and secretly I want to bury in the yard the grey remains of a friendship scarred." I'd always taken it to be ""and secretly I want you buried in the yard/the grey remains of a friendship scarred." Much more passionate.
