I've just heard that my friends film, Nina Forever, is returning to the US version of Shudder in time for Valentines Day. It's a genuine cult classic and it burned the house down at Frightfest, back in 2015.

In honour of Kid Rock's latest self inflicted defeat, may I present this recent thread where I trash that piece of shit and the audience of senior Republicans he is playing to.
I just sloughed my own skin off from second hand embarrassment. How can anyone associated with this servile, lazy propaganda live with themselves? This is an anti-triumph, a failure of the will.
guys. the kid rock performance is uh. well it’s exactly what you’d expect

This is not only not Minneapolis (it's Los Angeles), but it's from a June 2025 NYT article not about "ordinary people with no connection whatsoever to Mexico," but about people of actual Mexican heritage refusing to be afraid of celebrating where they & their family come from, despite the danger.
In Minneapolis ordinary people with no connection whatsoever to Mexico are now flying Mexican flags, so ICE officers will waste hours pulling them over and questioning them. They call it "ICE fishing." H/t Mayra

Palmer Luckey looks and sounds like a man who meets a horrible but deserved fate in one of David Lynch's unfinished projects.

I read through hundreds of emails and scoured through years of correspondence and background information to write this 4600 word report.

It confirms what we all have been saying about the anti-trans movement from the start. Read it from the top down, I can't even begin to summarize it all properly.
You’re not crazy. The anti-trans movement is not organic; it was funded by pedophilic billionaires like Jeffrey Epstein who backed a network of conservatives to accuse the same people they were sexually abusing of being the real danger. @madycast.com exposes the truth in our in-depth report.

Despite threats of deportation, these workers voted to strike.

This week, Haitian migrants faced an uncertain future as Trump fought to revoke their legal status and deport them. Despite these threats, the largely immigrant union workers still voted to strike. From us and @thefern.org:

hearing that the state and capital might be interlinked, has anyone looked into this before
Apple & Google removed ICE tracking apps in their app stores.

TikTok reportedly suppressed videos criticizing ICE & the shooting of Alex Pretti.

Meta blocked Facebook groups tracking ICE & links to a database of agents that the government wants to keep secret.

Big Tech is enabling Trump's regime.

But how could Sir Keer Stamford Haircut the 1st possibly know this would all blow up in his face? Again.
As recently as the summer of 2024 the Labour Party were flat-out denying that Peter Mandelson was even vaguely advising them and it was so obviously BOLLOCKS....but why were they denying it? Is it coz he's a catastrophically problematic, unpopular figure who was best pals with a famous pedo?

"I thought he was only friends with the convicted paedophile a bit but then I found out he was actually friends with the convicted paedophile SO MUCH! When I thought he was only friends with the convicted paedophile a bit I liked him and gave him a job. So angry rn!"
Labour MPs & party insiders tell me they’ve never seen Keir Starmer so angry as over Mandelson’s lies about Epstein links.

But those who know him well say that anger has now turned inwards. That Starmer is, above all else, a man of public service, and will be grappling with his conscious this w/e.

production of The Muppet Show should not be dependent on petty vulgarities like “ratings” or “revenue.” it should be preserved as a vital function of american culture. it should have a taxpayer-funded budget rivaling the CIA
