and, yeah, table, that was pretty fucking rude to an ILXer who also writes poetry. You could, like, explain why Simic's a mediocre or bad poet without insulting the poster.

might have gone either way, whether table would use charles simic's death to establish his edginess by shitting on anyone who liked him vs. calling charles simic a dear friend whom none of you people truly understand
having chosen option one, he is truly, sincerely happy that you enjoy such dreck

Fuck's sake. Patti Boyd tweeted that Jeff Beck is dead. No other confirmation. People have then been sharing text starting "Jeff Beck Death Hoax Dismissed Since Guitarist Is ‘Alive And Well’"Except THAT text is from a "satire" site with millions of articles— Andrew Hickey (Specified Parody Account) (@HickeyWriter) January 10, 2023

RIP Jane Suck. We were compatriots and partners in strange for a crucial few months in later 1977 and early 1978.

Johnson was another customer at the Notting Hill bookshop I worked in. He would always browse a big bookcase full of art books, on top of which perched the shop's speakers. I made a point of playing the most horrible sounds whenever he came in, in the hope of prompting an outburst, or an outraged of Notting Hill column somewhere, but he never batted an eyelid, the contrary fucker.

He liked being spanked by his lover, so I'm guessing he would have happily been chastised by Thatcher too.

Reports of Yukihiro Takahashi :(
Japanese sources are reporting that Yukihiro Takahashi, the former Yellow Magic Orchestra drummer and lead vocalist, has died. He was 70. He had an operation to remove a brain tumour in 2020, and in 2021 revealed further health problems.
