Lord Zedd-Repulsa posted:Texas Monthly has an article about The Texas Chainsaw Massacre's creation that's pretty fun to read. I didn't know it was basically a cheap student film and almost nobody made money or found fame from it. Except Leatherface. This was a fantastic read, made even better when I saw at the end that it was written by John "Joe Bob Briggs" Bloom. fruit on the bottom posted:
Not emptyquoting this. Finally: I love fonts. If you love them too, here's a long post on why you should hate Mistral.

This article gave me a minor freak-out because of a couple of embedded images that looked like ads, and I was wondering what the gently caress in my broswer history had caused them to pop up.

Azathoth posted:I read during downtime at work and if I'm going to dive into some dark poo poo, I'd prefer to wait until I get home so that I don't have to explain to a co-worker why I'm reading a 3k word thinkpiece on the Saskatoon Squirrel Molester, even if there aren't any graphic pictures. Man, that guy was a total perv. He might've escalated to molesting woodchucks if the authorities hadn't caught him.

Just read this one that was posted in the weird and wonderful books thread, about the world of antique map theft:Remulak posted:Turns out you can make fortunes by stealing the maps and illustrations out of rare books in the library. All you need is a razor or a wet piece of string:

A Scandal In Oxford: The Curious Case of the Stolen Gospel Similar to the article about the map dealer I posted above, this one involves an Oxford scholar selling ancient biblical manuscripts that weren't his to sell. quote:The problem is that the items – if the purchase agreement is genuine – were not Obbink’s to sell. They are part of the Oxyrhynchus collection of ancient papyrus, owned by the Egypt Exploration Society (EES) and housed at Oxford’s Sackler Library. Edit: Oh, and did I mention it involves the awful Evangelical family who owns Hobby Lobby, and who were found to have smuggled ancient Iraqi artifacts into the States back in 2017?

I just read this one about everyone's favorite mellow PBS painter and the people that now control his empire, and I have come to one conclusion: Bob Ross was by no means perfect (there's a lot of stuff here that I hadn't seen in previous articles about him), but gently caress the Kowalskis. Sex, Deceit, and Scandal: The Ugly War Over Bob Ross’ Ghost It also answers the question of whatever became of Bob's son Steve.

Josef bugman posted:Yeah, I don't think I can even read it at this point. Obviously he eventually got out and I'm desperate to know how it happened, but at this point I'm waiting for the entire thing to be finished so I can skip straight to the end. It's too crushing to read.
