* While talking sexualities, I've never read anything about why the service industries seem to be the "go to" jobs for so many gay men? Once again, flying at Christmas, the extremely obvious sexuality of the male flight attendants, as well as one of the concierges at the hotel, and even a guy serving us at Malaysian McDonalds of all places, made me wonder about this. I suppose I should Google the topic instead of just asking out loud. I just don't get the connection between "I'm gay, and I really want to serve people".
* Gawd, I didn't start writing this with these topics in mind, but I now I see that Benjamin Law is getting publicity in The Guardian for his show which I think is way over-rated by the usual sort of people who find any comedy with a sympathetic gay theme to be brilliant.
* Should I see Aquaman at the cinema? My son is dubious, but it is a genuine box office hit. (It's going to break the billion dollar barrier, surprisingly.) I don't really expect it to be great, but perhaps a bit weirdly amusing enough.
* Oh, someone at The Guardian reads Catallaxy - and notes "former IPA man" (former?) Sinclair Davidson's comments about the right wing rally last weekend. He missed the Davidson "I'll make a weirdly eccentric claim that even the nutty conservatives reading Catallaxy think is over the top, and then not justify it" comment of the week -
Gavin – people who advocate a two-state solution are anti-Semitic.I like it when he makes a big statement that leaves even the readers of that blog backing away slowly, which is pretty much what they did in that thread.
Oddly, he also posted about a vegetarian topic (noting the Impossible Burger) the same week I have - and sent the nuts in comments into a frenzy because how dare anyone suggest that making a "fake meat" burger that people want to eat is not a bad idea. Next thing, socialists will be banning meat, don't you know?
It is the nuttiest collection of stupid right wingers in Australia.

yesh I was tipped of about the anti-semetic comment I did not believe it. I thought it had the stupidity of Kates about it but there it was in black and white.
Aquaman is very good.
not making money though. The studio is under water
Does no harm at all to his growing reputation as an absurdist comedian. He'd be even funnier if he performed in drag with a South African accent like his all too obvious inspiration, Dame Edna clone Evita Bezuidenhout.
