My kids were into WWE during the 2010s,so I developed a deep loathing of John Cena. But he is incredible as Peacemaker: by turns bombastic, vulnerable, lovable and despicable. It's one of the great tragicomic performances.

The tech industry has completely normalised presenting bullshit that doesn't work, without any embarrassment whatsoever
Russia presented its human-like AI robot. It fell down as it walked onto the stage.

It is mindboggling to discover that centrists still believe caving to fascists placates them. All it does is give them the scent of blood.

Disappointed by Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein. I thought it would be more Mary Shelley and less Abbott and Costello.

I liked it better when being openly racist was a shameful thing... When people who held those opinions kept quiet for fear of being excluded from normal society. When expressing them publicly would finish you in public life. That was a better world, and I would like to go back to it.

"Incontinent US President publishes video of himself wearing a crown and shitting on his people from a plane" is a scenario you would have had a hard time selling as the most dystopian satire only 20 years ago.

"Women can sue their bosses for running a workplace where sexual aggression is normalised, but men can't sue when their workplace values learning and taking responsibility"
Tbh I think we ought to re-masculinize society through the dispensation of brutal, merciless justice to the class of intellectual quislings who are trying to carry us back to the middle ages

Polanski is far from perfect, as is his party. But he offers HOPE. Remember hope? Optimism? Believing the future will be better for your children?
At least someone is speaking up for the multicultural Britain I grew up in... Speaking up like they mean it.

Never had a doner kebab. Deeply regret watching Dancer in the Dark. Wish I'd never heard Tears in Heaven or Wonderful Tonight, both E Clapton.
Introduce yourself using only one food you refuse to eat, one movie you’ll never watch again, and one song you can’t stand.

It seems apparent to me that most of the people noisily supporting Israel right now are not friends to Jewish people generally. It's just a fig leaf for their Islamophobia and general racism. Once Gaza is destroyed they'll go back to posting antisemitic tropes and conspiracy theories.
