Trump answering children's Christmas wishes. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I hope the poor kids aren't scarred after this interaction

Just saw today's feature documentary on BBC Persian about the brave Taraneh Alidoosti - phenomenally versatile actress who didn't compromise her feminism and was imprisoned in the Woman Life Freedom period. Didn't realise she had DRESS syndrome

Very strong woman. Worth watching for Persian speakers

Fair play to the Australian government here - they don't mess around.

Visas of Nazi-sympathising Brits and South Africans cancelled.

Swift and decisive. Other peer nations can learn a lesson or two... 🇦🇺👍

What a title for a Christmas gift from this viscerally nauseating pair...

How can anyone defend Trump?

How can anyone do whataboutism about anyone else (send them all down) and support this creep?

I never understood Trump's strange desire for Brett Ratner to make Rush Hour 4, but it's beginning to make sense...

(And yes, I know he is directing and producing the upcoming Melania film)

The people who actually write bait like this need to feel more shame. Don't care what stage of his career Robert Folker is.

The gutter press in this country is just so putrid.

WOW: The DOJ has DELETED an image from its release of the Epstein files that shows photos of Trump in a drawer.

Yesterday, we noted that this image — file 468 — likely slipped through the cracks while officials were attempting to hide materials pertaining to Trump.

Now, it’s gone.

Kermode's new Avatar review is a nostalgia trip back to the golden era of his rants -

Pirates of the Caribbean 3, Sex and the City 2, Transformers 3 and 4, Eat Pray Love, "death of narrative cinema" etc....

Missed this.

Mount Damavand - mythical Iranian volcano (the tallest in Asia) and symbol of resistance, is covered in snow today.

Tehran's neighbour mountain is residence of the sun god Mithra, and the tyrant Zahhāk (defeated by Fereydun and chained deep within Damavand) is imprisoned there until the end of time

Still amazed at how much of a media darling this guy was for so many years.

He even has his own area in Alton Towers (opening after his 2020 shenanigans), mind-boggling....
