OSCAR ISAAC, on whether he'd return to "Star Wars": ".. Yeah. I mean, I’d be open to it, although right now I’m not so open to working with Disney. But if they can kinda figure it out and, you know, not succumb to fascism, that would be great." @variety.com $DIS variety.com/2025/film/ne...

Classic: management hides behind the workers, forcing them to ameliorate their mistakes.

Secured tickets for Sat 21 November 2026 to see Michael Sheen's long-awaited interpretation of Owain Glyndwr for @welshnattheatre.bsky.social . As someone who has written books covering Owain and Henry IV, shall I put on a talk that evening in Cardiff? Any societies or bookshops interested?

Cornell paid millions to get illegally frozen grants unfrozen, and effectively agreed to help the Trump regime's assault on academic freedom to get bad faith investigations dropped, while also agreeing the govt can launch new investigations! Full text here: statements.cornell.edu/2025/documen...
