Young bottoms in love
The blogosphere’s own male Hothead Paisan, Steve Gilliard, waxes dudely in this disturbi-comic post on the subject of infidelity. He uses as his springboard a Page Six blurb about some celebrity barbie who has apparently gone "thermonuclear" over her boyfriend Jude Law’s insatiable hunger for banging derelict supermodels two at a time. […]

THE TWISTY BUNGALOW (2000 FEET FROM THE AUSTIN CITY LIMITS MUSIC FESTIVAL)–It is 8:15 in the morning. Wafting up the hill, onto my personal patio and into my personal ears, are the ghastly soundcheck tones of some odious Jerry Garcia-inspired smooth jazz-jam torture device. Sadistic stoned soundguys: can’t live with’em, can’t bury’em up to their […]
Male gaze refuelling station, Bourbon St. last Tuesday
Inevitably the cycle of destruction that begins with male aggression and culminates in mass murder returns, as doth a dog to its own vomit, to the regularly scheduled misogyny. Death and pussy: two great taints that taste great together.
I allude to a couple of garish swatches of news […]
I have snapped. I need a better way to blog. TypePad is bummin me out bigtime. If it worked better I could put up with how slow it is, but lately it seems to blank out every couple of days, and right this minute it’s just returning error messages no matter what I do, so […]
Here’s a news brief that stirs up from deep within the Twisty essence some troubling and funkily mixed feelings about capital punishment. I’m opposed to the variety we have here in Texas, which amounts to a kind of bloodsport for redneck cowards (like the current POTUS) who like to see retarded, innocent black folks get […]
It turns out that I wasn’t the only incredulous bystander to lose wazzoo functionality after the hurricane. This article in the Trib reports that there’s been a surge of "agitation" in Prozac Nation. The somewhat sentimental report (a sad 82-year-old lady is canvassed for her views; she feels "empty") focuses on the general sense of […]

The post I’ve promised to write on fashion and misogyny will have to be postponed while I write this post on fashion and misogyny: 90 Sumatran women are chucked in the hoosegow for either "failing to don head scarves or wearing clothes considered too tight." Yesterday Indonesian cops banded […]
Remember the "study" perpetrated by that racist motherfucker "proving" that men are smarter than women, largely, it seems, because (surprise!) they appear to achieve greater success within the patriarchal paradigm*? Well, here’s another one, this time conducted by a woman, that shows "gender differences are negligible on mathematics problem solving, verbal and abstract reasoning, talkativeness […]
My screensaver
Sports news, I am sorry to say, has a way of slipping right past me. It shouldn’t, because sport in Western culture pretty much exists to reaffirm the dearest principles of patriarchy, and you know how irritated I get when that happens. But the sports section is the one I roll up to hit […]
And now, a bit of light patriarchy-blaming.
I was half-listening to NPR the other day–which, I’m sorry to say, is the only way to listen to it these days–and happened to hear a piece on German Chancellor hopeful-cum-Bush butt-licker Angela Merkel. Merkel was speaking at some rally. The reporter, Rachel Martin, does not describe Merkel […]
