American evangelicals fed on LEFT BEHIND are unable to recognize Trump as the Antichrist because he's not named John Rockies.
The reason people liken Trump to the anti-christ is that he is essentially the 7 deadly sins incarnate. You can't point to him being virtuous at any point. But there are sides if examples of avarice, lust, sloth, gluttony, wrath, etc.

"400 years ago."
Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

everyone's talking about death of the artist, nobody's talking about death of the reader. I should be able to have a knife come out of my book and stab you.

“Measles at Disneyland” is simultaneously a news story, a metaphor for current events, and a good idea for an 80s Orange County hardcore band.

in general it is very strange for anyone — even gutter racists — to imagine the mediterranean world as somehow looking like northern europe.
The woke scolds are trying to make this about racism. But Musk is right. It's about historical and scientific integrity. When the God of Thunder disguises himself as a swan to seduce and fuck a queen and the resulting baby hatches from an egg, *of course* the baby will be white. It's just science.
Elon Musk claims Christopher Nolan has lost ‘integrity’ over The Odyssey casting
Lupita Nyong’o is reportedly set to play Helen of Troy in Nolan’s upcoming adaptation of Homer’s epic poem

A technology called X that slowly drives people crazy and makes them believe friends and colleagues have become part of a secret cult-like organisation called The Blob sounds like the plot of a high amphetamine consumption era Philip K Dick story rather than our current reality

I would not describe any part of this excerpt to be particularly accurate about Branch Davidians or the eventual siege other than Koresh was predictably abusive because all these guys are the fuckin same
