Watched Wake Up Dead Man & it did nothing to stop Knives Out being the worst film in the series. They are getting better, but also feel more like the increased tension of classical & modern-faux-classical filmmaking grinding against each other are going to cause some kind of rift & explode every TV.

A brief visit with family had me seeing broadcast TV (I do not partake) & I saw the word "evil" so many times in news broadcasts.
Ditch it.
Call them idiots instead, or even "random assholes" as Omar puts it. Idiot bastards is all they are, now swept away by governments hungry for power & control.

My latest article addresses this point comprehensively.
A great deal of Zionist rhetoric has been aimed at our education system, at artists and journalists, at universities for the "student encampments", at our freedom of speech, at our freedom of assembly, at our freedom to teach, at our freedom to wear clothes and accessories (no kheffyehs, no pins, no watermelons, no reference whatsoever to Palestinian existence), at our healthcare system. No one who objects to the Zionist murder of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians is safe. Total obedience and total erasure is required, and it will be demanded in the most emotional and sensational way possible so as to override critical reasoning. And yet, looking at Segal's plan, looking at the demands, there is not a single thing that, having been enacted, would have prevented the Bondi terrorist attack. It wasn't carried out by a uni grad, or artist, or activist - it was carried out by a bricklayer and his unemployed loser father who somehow gained access to weapons they should never have had. What's more, the Muslim community warned police about the extremist preacher the terrorist was connected to, over a decade ago, and were told authorities wanted it kept open because "it was a good source of intel".

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:
News Team, Thank you for the notes and texts. I apologize for not reaching out earlier. I learned on Saturday that Bari Weiss spiked our story, INSIDE CECOT, which was supposed to air tonight. We (Ori and I) asked for a call to discuss her decision. She did not afford us that courtesy/opportunity. Our story was screened five times and cleared by both CBS attorneys and Standards and Practices. It is factually correct. In my view, pulling it now-after every rigorous internal check has been met is not an editorial decision, it is a political one. We requested responses to questions and/or interviews with DHS, the White House, and the State Department. Government silence is a statement, not a VETO. Their refusal to be interviewed is a tactical maneuver designed to kill the story. If the administration's refusal to participate becomes a valid reason to spike a story, we have effectively handed them a "kill switch" for any reporting they find inconvenient. If the standard for airing a story becomes "the government must agree to be interviewed," then the government effectively gains control over the 60 Minutes broadcast. We go from an investigative powerhouse to a stenographer for the state. These men risked their lives to speak with us. We have a moral and professional obligation to the sources who entrusted us with their stories. Abandoning them now is a betrayal of the most basic tenet of journalism: giving voice to the voiceless. CBS spiked the Jeffrey Wigand interview due to legal concerns, nearly destroying the credibility of this broadcast. It took years to recover from that "low point." By pulling this story to shield an administration, we are repeating that history, but for political optics rather than legal ones. We have been promoting this story on social media for days. Our viewers are expecting it. When it fails to air without a credible explanation, the public will correctly identify this as corporate censorship. We are trading 50 years of "Gold Standard" reputation for a single week of political quiet. I care too much about this broadcast to watch it be dismantled without a fight. Sharyn

The Coalition coming out in defence of Australian Jews by claiming that Australia's "multicultural nirvana...has failed" sure does underline how idiotic & racist they are. I guess it's not multicultural as long as the diverse cultures all have the same skin colour. Liberal Party dickheads.

My cat Queen Mab went in for dental surgery on Thursday. They ended up removing 13 of her teeth without informing me… after they said she had degenerative gum disease. They gave me my cat half comatose and cold.

Sometimes you work with cast or crew just once. Other times you make 5 movies with the same person. So instead of saying goodbye, on the last day of shooting, many of us say “See you on the next one.”

Today, I don’t want to say goodbye, so let me just say, PJ, my friend, see you on the next one.
