tangentially re cheap horror, watching Argento on the big screen was a revelation, like I already liked the guy but it's something else in a darkened cinema with Emerson's prog Verdi blaring out the system as the screen goes deep red.

also (and I'm talking specifically about Inferno here but it applies to others) Argento is super Brechtian he is not being cheesy he is breaking the fourth wall like The Ring did.

passing thought: the early 1970s had a lot of paranoid popular culture that seems very apposite to today (eg The Conversation, The Parallax View) but there doesn't seem to be a contemporary equivalent right now, when it's needed, at least not officially.

like a lot of people naturally assume that Mayor of London is like Mayor of New York but not it's more Pretend Mayor.

Khan has to be nagged & chivvied into taking any kind of stand on this, which is of course frustrating. but I'm curious to know if he has any powers to shut this sale down beyond what he's done already (asking the Met, retweeting an AJE article etc).
I condemn any attempt to sell property in the settlements in the West Bank, be that in London or anywhere else in the world. aljazeera.com/news/2026/6/12…

more people should know this. there's a hidden symbolic history of the mathematical feminine (he says over excitedly and gesturing wildly despite not really thinking it thru) and this is absolutely part of it.
how am I just learning that the word "matrix" literally means womb and it was chosen because it "births determinants"

wow. Based.
Oscar winner Colin Firth's ex-wife Livia launches extraordinary attack on Gwyneth Paltrow and cancels Hollywood star's visit to her Italian farm over her 'disgusting' advert for Israeli development. Read the story from Saturday's Eden Confidential: dailymail.com/tvshowbiz/arti…

this is interesting, I've never seen Snyder make any comment on, let alone criticism of, US foreign policy in the Middle East.
Snyder: The U.S. is not just unreliable, it is behaving strangely. Allies like Romania, Poland, Taiwan and South Korea expect America to save resources for serious moments, not waste munitions, reputation and focus on wars it cannot explain. 1/

It’s only a tiny room at Eastern Bloc but the crowd there are amazing and the sound is brilliant cos it’s so small everything is crystal clear right in your face- few snippets of last night here which was sort of a dressed rehearsal for Sunday. Currently at the cathedral/Hippos🦛

Saudi, for the first time since 2019, is going to allow Lebanon to export to it again. This shift is not just about Lebanese farmers selling apples, grapes, olive oil, sweets or industrial goods back into the Gulf. For Lebanon, this means dollars, jobs, exporters, trucks, ports, families and a small door back into the Arab economy after years of isolation. But the bigger story is Saudi. MBS is using the war to reposition Saudi Arabia as the indispensable trade hub of the region. Jordan is being pulled closer. Syria is being reopened. Lebanon is being brought back through the state. Iraq is tied to the Development Road. Turkey is tied through the rail corridor. The GCC increasingly needs Saudi logistics, Red Sea access and land routes to survive the Hormuz shock. This is not the original IMEC. This is a Saudi-centred version of regional connectivity. Netanyahu wanted Gulf oil and trade routed through Israel. Instead, the war is pushing everyone back toward Saudi ports, Saudi land corridors, Saudi diplomacy and Saudi security guarantees. Even Lebanon is being folded into this map. Hezbollah's leadership has already called for Saudi to reconsider ties after the war. Riyadh reopening trade now suggests it is not waiting for the old anti-Hezbollah fantasy to magically work. It is moving through the Lebanese state while managing the Iranian reality around it. The US does not seem fully on board. Israel is definitely not the centre. MBS moved fast, and so far he is scoring. menaunleashed.com/p/the-heja…

This is suspicious. I noticed many UK intelligence firms hiring for posts for Turkey lately. I was just thinking about it this morning. Usually when this happens it is months away from something bug happening often a war.
📌 Buradan ilgili kurumlara duyurumdur‼️ Pentagon'un ABD askerlerine ve ailelerine Türkiye ile Yunanistan'a gitmeme talimatı verdiği, bilgisi sızdırıldı‼️ Yunanistan Ağustos veya Eylül aylarında, Adalar bölgesinde 12 Deniz milini devlet politikası olarak açıklayacağını ve savaş hazırlığı içerisinde olduğunu ilgili müttefik dostları paylaştığı ifade edilmiştir. İsrail'in perde arkası diplomaside Kıbrıs Rum kesimi Fransa ve Yunanistan Türkiye karşı savaş kararı alacağı bilgisi var‼️ İsrail'in Türkiye'ye füze saldırısı düzenleyerek enerji ve altyapıyı hedef alacağı, hava kuvvetlerimizi felç etmek için birçok teknolojik lojistik desteğini de kullanacağını altını çizmektedir. Yunanistan'ın savaşa girerek Türkiye'nin batısında toprak kazanacağı, olağanüstü lojistik desteği ile Kıbrıs Türk Cumhuriyetini ilhak etme kararı üzerine İsrail, ile anlaştığı bilgisi paylaşılıyor. ABD'nin doğrudan savaşa katılmadan İsrail'e askerî ve istihbarat desteği sağlayacağı, Fransa'nın Yunanistan lehine müdahil olacağını ve doğrudan taraf ülke pozisyonu alacaktır. ABD donanması Akdeniz bölgesi'nden doğrudan Rum kesimini destekleyecek şekilde lojistik tahkimat yaptığı bilgisi paylaşılıyor‼️ Kıbrıs'ın tamamının Rum kontrolüne geçeceği ve PKK'nın aktif hale getirilerek, Suriyede Kürt devleti kurulacağı, İsrail ve Fransa, doğrudan mühimmat desteği sağlayacaktır‼️ Amerika ve Fransa Rusya'ya karşı Adalar Bölgesi'nin egemenlik haklarını Yunanistan'a devretmek için kirli bir oyuna girdi açıktır. Pentagon'daki ilgili makamlar Ağustos Eylül ve Ekim aylarında Türkiye ve Yunanistan, seyahatlerinin birçoğunu iptal ettiği bildirisini ilgili birimlere gönderdiği görülmektedir. @tcsavunma @TC_Disisleri @RTErdogan

The government just accepted Lord Mann's review. Palestine badges are now being banned across the NHS. The same trusts that lit up their buildings in blue and yellow for Ukraine. Sign the petition the.organise.network/campaig…

this is very good: clear and rigorous but accessible, mercifully free of that patina of self-help therapy-speak that pervades other popular accounts of the subject.
