De Souza’s still got it! Such a fun article!

If you do get one of these for Christmas please be a responsible owner and pick-up after them.

Mit der Schweizer Journalistin Brigitte Kramer spreche ich im SRF über die fortlaufenden und zunehmend aggressiven Versuche der Einflussnahme auf die deutsche Pressefreiheit - und welche Rolle Verantwortungsträger in Medien und Politik hierbei spielen. Es geht um konzertierte Kampagnen mittels…

Just as media experts and pretty much everyone with a sane mind warned of right from the start: Corporate censorship in journalism is now taking hold in US media. European, esp. German media need to watch closely - and prepare upfront for how this strategy will show itself not abroad, but at home.

Israel has killed over 30 000 children in #Gaza. " #Germany approved a controversial $3.1bn weapons deal with #Israel on Thursday which will see Tel Aviv supply Berlin with Arrow 3 missile defence systems... It follows a similar $3.5bn agreement... making the two contracts... worth over $6.6bn."

This is not the first time RFK Jr or his fellow anti-vax travelers conducted a study they knew would harm or kill children in low-income countries. It is a dehumanizing, colonialist model of manufacturing evidence: sacrificing foreign kids for political pseudoscience. www.notus.org/health-scien...

I wrote this under embargo and remember being shocked when the other reviews came in. It felt like @pattonoswalt.bsky.social was the only other person fully behind this absolute kickass time at the movies. Punisher War Zone & @lexialex.bsky.social forever. www.sfchronicle.com/movies/artic...

When a good movie opens on Christmas

Now I have a Christmas tree ornament, ho ho ho. #DieHard

Today we start a new series on @EmpirePodUK PHOTOGRAPHERS OF EMPIRE As @anitaanand.bsky.social & I discover the men and women behind the lens who captured those who weilded imperial power. linktr.ee/empirepoduk

Dozens of stories about Rob Reiner since last night, all of them different, all of them wonderful. This one is one of the best and sweetest.

The prophet.

Verstehe ich das richtig, dass sich politische Entscheidungsträger einfach eine Bahncard 100, Dienstwagen und Geschäftsreisen in der Businessclass gönnen, aber der ÖPNV muss für 13 Mio. Menschen teurer machen, weil angeblich kein Geld da ist?

bugs bunny was literally the first guy in drag i ever saw but ok

Still mightily perturbed by the lack of punctuation in 'Wake Up Dead Man'

It's December 1st - which means I get to share weird and wonderful Victorian Christmas cards, starting with one that looks straight out of #StarWars. @markhamillofficial.bsky.social, is that you?

Love the all-too-easy-to-make misspelling here😅 One for @www.johnbleasdale.com

Love experiments like this. Check it out!

I'm not the only one!!!😅

I don't use the word lightly, but this is really just evil isn't it. "Your identity makes us uncomfortable so be gone from public spaces." Fuck off.

Mood. I was asked in 2019 What I would say to Mohammed Bin Salman. I said it then and I’ll say it again— I hope the spirit of Jamal Khashoggi haunts MBS for the rest of his life. open.substack.com/pub/karenatt...

Hi I'm on The Bugle today trying to make joke-sense out of whatever the heck is going on in the world lately.

Everywhere there's lots of piggies Living piggy lives You can see them out for dinner With their piggy wives Clutching forks and knives to eat the bacon — Piggies, The Beatles

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi. I hired and worked with Jamal for a year. www.washingtonpost.com/world/nation...

You cant parachute asylum seekers into deprived areas, in completely inappropriate housing, then say those migrants are 'dividing our country'. You divided the country because you can't organise a basic service and process claims in a timely way

It was a mistake for Labour to elect Starmer. Can't remember the alternatives were but he's equipped with none of the necessary skills to deal with our problems right now. He's a fork in a restaurant that only serves soup. Utterly hopeless

lmaooo

Almost 30,000 people flocked to Durham Cathedral to see three rare copies of the Magna Carta. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Watching Our of the Past. So much beauty, in the actors' faces & bodies as well as in the photography & staging (as in a fistfight that plays out partly in the shadows combatants cast on a wall). Very adult in its understanding of attraction and how one choice can trap you for life.

‘It takes a lot of energy to be an asshole’ Steven Soderbergh knows the score. Interview by @mattzollerseitz.bsky.social www.vulture.com/2017/11/stev...

The New York Times quickly sending out Douthat to argue that Mamdani’s victory doesn’t really matter is so predictable it borders on self-parody. Remember, folks: Every time the Right wins an election, it’s an undeniable expression of the will of the people. If a lefty wins, it’s just a blip.

Nice!!

First time watch: Hobson's Choice. Absolutely wonderful. I only knew Brenda de Banzie as the villain in The Man Who Knew Too Much (one of my favorite Hitchcocks) and she is so, so different here- I'm smitten. Great dialogue, great characters, great performances. Most fun movie I've seen in a while.

A daycare. Every day in Chicago. The state is not stopping this. Pritzker’s and Johnson’s cops have ONLY been protecting these assaults so there is so far nothing that is stopping them besides unarmed residents screaming. How many children are technically orphans now @govpritzker.illinois.gov?

Put off watching it for years but fuck my old boots, The Innocents (Clayton, 1961) is INCREDIBLE Script, casting, dialogue, pacing, sound, direction and CINEMATOGRAPHY are all perfect, making for what is one of the most chilling ghost films of them all 6.5 ffoulkesy stars out of 5

Alan, it’s time

i hope this election cycle empowers everyone the next time a centrist liberal says to drop pro-trans and pro-immigrant rhetoric to enthusiastically tell them to shut the fuck up
