Rolling Obituary Thread 2022

Back in the early 90s as a teen I picked up a magazine named “Anarchy” at a news stand and thumbed through it thinking “oh cool I’m interested in it as a political philosophy let’s see what they have to say” and then put it quickly back on the shelf when the lead article was about how “age of consent laws are bullshit man”. I was young and naive but even then I had the feeling whoever was behind this magazine was hijacking the terminology of a legitimate political philosophy to justify kid fiddling.

i was assigned TAZ as a text in college - aside from finding it generally pretty silly as a political tract, i was super weirded out by the creepy p3d0 asides sprinkled throughout

Tbh it is unconscionable that he remains heralded by many as an important figure.

It’s also rarely talked about, but Allen Ginsberg was also a supporter of NAMBLA— he wrote an essay or two about it, in fact.

While I can still read “Wichita Vortex Sutra” and “Kaddish,” I don’t really go further than that any longer— and I avoid teaching him, too.

He will not be missed.

TIL hakim bey was a pseudonym and also other things about hakim bey

i'll spare the newsmax video, but Texas AG Ken Paxton, asked in a newsmax "interview" what kinds of things should be done, said something about the buildings being built in a way so there is only one point of entry before switching to his thought that the teachers should have had guns

it's that anti-gun culture in TX, though, it's an uphill battle to get anything done on allowing more guns there

oops wrong thread my bad, twice in a row.

RIP Ray Liotta, 67.

Oh! RIP.

whoa! ugh that's terrible. rip to ray

aw fuck

Whoa

R.I.P., so good in Goodfellas and Something Wild, always a welcome presence who lent an air of danger to the proceedings.

in goodfella's he's like the calming presence really

anyway rip

I first saw him as shoeless joe, when it came out. One of the first movies I saw, I think, that I can remember. As I get older I really really appreciate his performance in that.

Of course, I saw goodfellas later on and realized what a force of nature he was. His sudden laughs, in that film - so good

― mark s,

I think I know what you mean, but can you explain?

Watched Something Wild for the first time in decades, and Liotta's just amazing in that one.

The classic slowburn.

oh just that there are at least two very much more dangerous airs being lent in his vicinity: he's playing a violent toxic nutball but by contrast in context he seems like the mild mannered one

man rip alan white. he’s a hero for making the songs on yessongs sound as good as they did

If he only every played on Plastic Ono Band.

The Feelies’ "Loveless Love" plays as Ray Liotta dances into frame, menacing but magnetic with his piercing gaze & undeniably magnetic on-screen presence. A star-making entrance in his first major film role in Jonathan Demme's SOMETHING WILD ('86). RIP to a singular performer 💙 pic.twitter.com/xDWiiNcDaH

Liotta had a funny cameo in Modern Family.

Always liked him in this dopey SNL sketch.

I never really think of him as a good-looking actor but he is smoking in that Something Wild clip

Ha, to this day I still mainly think of him as The Hot One From Something Wild.
