This is astonishing from The Sunday Times. As suspected, it looks like the Iranian government was responsible for the front terror group HAYI and the spate of antisemitic attacks across Europe over the last few months. The FBI have their chief in custody.

I hope Farage's refusal to condemn rioters in Southampton and Belfast and Polanski's refusal to condemn the Palestinian protester who attacked a police officer with a sledgehammer will put people off voting for weirdo populists and encourage more people to vote for normal parties

This is Samuel Corner, sledgehammer raised, ready to strike the police woman lying at his feet, arm held out in a vain plea for mercy. Samuel Corner is not a martyr nor a "young activist", he's just a common-or-garden thug.

"History of the World Part 1" is an underrated classic from the @MelBrooks catalogue. My Dad had a copy of this on VHS and that introduced me to the Brooksverse around the age of 11. It's good to be the king ๐

Mel Brooks on how he got the idea to make "History of the World: Part I" (1981):
"I was walking across the parking lot at 20th Century-Fox on my way to my office when one of the grips who had worked on ''High Anxiety'' (1977) shouted to me from the back of a moving truck. ''Hey, Mel, what's next? Planning a big one?''
From out of the blue the biggest title I could think of popped into my mind: ''Yes, the biggest movie ever made. It's called 'History of the World.' ''
Someone else on the truck yelled: ''How can you cover the whole world in one movie?'' ''You're right,'' I shouted. ''Maybe I'll call it 'History of the World - Part I.' '' Actually, if truth be told, I hadn't a clue as to what I was going to do next. That was two years ago, but now - this Friday - ''History of the World - Part I'' opens.
(...)
Will there be a ''History of the World - Part 2''? No. Maybe a ''Part 4,'' never a ''Part 2.''"
("The World According to Mel Brooks", Mel Brooks, The NY Times, 1981)
P.S: On this day, 45 years ago, "History of the World: Part I" (1981) was released in the USA.

Itโs almost the weekend, and because youโre all wonderful, Iโm dropping the full 2009 Madison Square Garden concert, in support of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation.
Bruce, friends, rock โnโ rollโฆ and get ready to see Billy Joel sing โBorn to Run.โ Yes, that happened.

You don't see a lot of Spielberg blocking because producers hate that shit. You can't edit around it. Definitely not in TV - but movies are basically TV now. You've got to cover everything so they can get in the edit and change it. I also think the audience now has been trained for vanilla coverage. Don't move the camera too much, get your close-ups and reverse shots.

During the press junket for Jurassic World: Evolution, a journalist took their entire interview time with Jeff Goldblum to have him read as Principal Skinner from THE SIMPSONS "Steamed Hams" episode, and it's amazing ๐๐

A number of far left politicians, commentators & other useful idiots seem to have a very hard time understanding that fracturing a policewomanโs spine with a sledgehammer isnโt magically transformed into some beautiful act of protest because it was done for the Palestinian cause.

Those blocking the prison van containing the violent criminals just sentenced are chanting โglobalise the Intifadaโ now. Given the context seems like a call for violence. @metpoliceuk

A former juror should not use the pretence of authority of their former jury service to campaign for defendants in an ongoing sentencing process, particularly where their comments serve to undermine another juryโs verdict. It's deeply unethical.
Jun 12
One of the jurors at the previous trial that bizarrely failed to convict the Palestine Action criminals being sentenced is speaking in their defence outside court today. How is this even possible legally?

Such a fantastic and truly illuminating lecture today at @britishmuseum โAncient Israel and Judah in the British Museumโ
And what an incredible speech by Director Dr Nicholas Cullinan;
โFree speech and free expression are non-negotiable.โ
โWe did not โ and will not โ surrender to the hecklerโs veto, threats or intimidation.โ
โProtests are a healthy feature of democratic life when organised peacefully within the law. But disruption that prevents permitted conversations has no place in our civic spaces.โ
โThis is a difficult moment for the Jewish community. Institutions face opposing pressures. Our test is to ensure ideas can be examined openly, without intimidation.โ

Remembering David Hockney, he was kind and always had a sparkle in his eye. He never stopped experimenting and is one of the finest painters of our generation.

We condemn the absolutely unjustified and unacceptable acts of violence, threats and intimidation directed at ethnic minorities, faith communities, and immigrant communities in recent days.
