Morrissey heard it was Jay's birthday
So he posed in his birthday suit. An actual promo for the upcoming album or maybe one of those "I'd rather go naked than wear fur" PETA ads. Hoping this is not the stage costuming for the upcoming tour.

Sam Spade is a Private Dick
I just finished reading The Maltese Falcon. I'm surprised I hadn't read it previously as I spent most of my teens reading detective fiction. I guess I was more into English locked-room whodunnits than hard-boiled American crime fiction. Although Hammett more or less invented the genre, it has been so overdone in the years since it is almost difficult to not laugh out loud at some of the now stereotypical moves Sam Spade makes. The thing that surprised me was the fact that a novel published in 1929 in America would make no bones about having a gay character or talking frankly about female nudity. I have never seen the movie either, although I plan to rent it sometime this week.
