Yeah, the joke back in the day was that guys would say they “read Playboy for the articles” as a cover story so they didn’t have to say they were looking at porn. But at the same time, they did have really good articles. Funny, thought provoking, and surprisingly progressive.
They were also one of the first print magazines to embrace the internet. I remember them posting a really cool Hellboy motion comic on their website back in the 90s.
Hear hear! I have just noticed since I was a kid in the 80s the slow creep of just… not doing braille anymore in public spaces. Used to seem pretty common, now it seems rare.

My favorite iteration of this joke is in the movie Smeakers, where Whistler, a blind character, is reading a braille edition of Playboy.
One of my favorite movies and it kills me how much less people seem to care about the blind than ever.
I’m been saying for years that it’s not okay that US currency isn’t accessible to the blind.

It’s widespread ableism across the board.
You even have people in the UK calling for disability benefits to be suspended because “those people can work but choose not to”
I guess they made the same joke in men in tights.

Blinkin reading a Braille edition of Playboy on the toilet?
in my comment thread, you are answering to a different comment. The braille comment is further down than yours.
looking at .org while not logged in it looks correct. might be an issue with your client.
Yes, seems to be an voyager issue
I’m on voyager and it renders the thread correctly
I fucking love that movie.
