Anyway, finally watched Masters of the Universe last night, and aside from it featuring you know who (who at least we didn’t have to see his face), that film is waaaaaay more enjoyable than it has any right to be
There are few worse people to hear on my radio at 8.20 in the morning than Zia Yusuf….hideous man
I often wonder why people (in particular politicians) tend to position Islamic inspired extremism on the opposite end of some sort of spectrum from far-right extremism - when reality is that there's more that unites them than divides them. On that and more here: revontulet.co/insights/pre...

Mickey throwing Tomas Frank under the bus in a single sentence without mentioning his name is quite joyous to be honest lol
Alasdair Gold@alasdairgold.bsky.social · last wk.Good stuff from Micky van de Ven here in Sydney as he certainly seems won over by Spurs' new ambition and life under De Zerbi in a summer when the club have prioritised offering him a bumper new contract. www.football.london/tottenham-ho...
Not exactly the same but works in a similar manner….it was my obsession with black metal, and specially mayhem, in the early 90’s that led me to study extremism in media….
Dr Lindsey Fitzharris@drlindseyfitz.bsky.social · 2w agoSome academics turn up their noses at movie adaptations or popular history books, but I call them "gateway drugs" into deeper scholarship. How many of us fell in love with history because a movie (or book) sparked our curiosity first? For me, it was Amadeus - it sent me down an 18thC rabbit hole.
It's lucky there aren't any flashback scenes in a Christmas Carol showing Scrooge's early life, otherwise this would be pretty daft.
Paredes' punch was Argentina's only shot on target in 120 minutes

Gonna have to do a double feature of Event Horizon and In the Mouth of Madness I think… …what a legend he was #RIPSamNeill
Remembering #Srebrenica. In July 1995, 8372 Bosniaks, mainly men & boys, were brutally killed in and around Srebrenica. The Srebrenica genocide is one of the darkest pages of European history.
Guys this isn't hard. Caveat: my Mum went to uni with her, they certainly weren't close and no contact for at least a decade: 1. Ann Widdecombe was a horrible person 2. Nobody deserves to be murdered in their own home like that Thanks!
