Over the weekend, a particularly awful pair of words started trending on social media: super gonorrhea. That’s because the World Health Organization recently warned that the pandemic is helping fuel the rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, including the bacteria that cause gonorrhea. Unfortunately, the situation is only likely to get worse. Antibiotic resistance has been a slow-brewing crisis for decades, but the effects are finally becoming hard to ignore. Currently, so-called superbugs are thought to kill around 35,000 Americans annually, as well as 700,000 people globally.

Costumed Cop Hater Infestation Did you know there was such a thing as furries? We didn’t either but apparently, it’s a thing. Some of them are purportedly Nazis.

imagine my delight when Michaela MacPherson, the woman behind CLAYTITS confirmed to me that the stuff Rogen’s doing is highly advanced. “If you look at his vases, they have those rounded notches and bubbles and globes,” MacPherson said. “Those are so organic, and so precise. That’s really hard to achieve. His stuff is so contemporary, the colors especially. It looks like stoner pottery and I think it would sell in a ceramics market for sure.”

On Dec. 20, I published a blog, titled “At Least Now You Know Which Video Game Reviewers Are Sellout Clowns,” about games journalists who’d complied with the studio CD Projekt Red’s non-disclosure agreements limiting how they could cover Cyberpunk 2077 in exchange for early access to what has turned out to be a shamefully broken product.

Michael Alig ripped through culture like an overly loud cackle at a party, and he went out with a whimper. The visionary party promoter and style icon was one of the best-known members of a loose-knit, attention-grabbing group of hardcore denizens of the ’80s and ’90s New York nightlife scene, known as the Club Kids. His 1996 killing of his friend and drug dealer Andre “Angel” Melendez cemented the Kids’ legacy with a horrifying coda, chronicled in James St. James’s acclaimed book Disco Bloodbath and immortalized in a documentary and narrative film, both named Party Monster. Alig served 17 years in prison for killing Melendez (he pleaded guilty to manslaughter), and was released to much fanfare in 2014. He died on Christmas this year in his Washington Heights apartment of a heroin overdose, according to his mother. He was 54 years old.
