"Radical leftists" I've no idea what Americans think that is.

I saw all the films on the Nom list apart from A.C.U and The Brutalist,
If I had a vote, & I should
Anora would be my choice, or The Substance, maybe Conclave
2024 was a good year for cinema.

I'm old enough when I believed the internet was going to make the World a better place, and maybe it might have, if it wasn't for the tech billionaires.

As a European looking in, it seems to me POTUS has too much power, didn't the founding fathers in drafting the constitution try to prevent this?
Now with media technology, the one with the media focus, such as the president, has disproportionately more power.
I can't see a way out of this.

Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity."

Ireland should put a bid in for Greenland, we would rename it the other emerald Isle.

Wondering what would happen if the moron acquires Greenland, and Panama, will this kickstart another scramble for colonies, I'm sure China would like some parts of Africa or some more Pacific Islands.
How will the Europeans react, they couldn't stand idly by.

So here's the question, who is more powerful, the democraticly elected PM of the UK, or a billionaire, if it is the latter, how did we get here, and more importantly, how do we get out of this situation.

This is a wonderful book, I first started the Audible version, but when I listened to the poetic high-quality prose I bought the Kindle version as well, I am now reading while using the Audible Companion, it's like being at a brilliant lecture. I will never see the natural World the same way again

It's funny, people throughout history people who staged a failed insurrection ended up imprisoned or dead, but America voted their insurrectionist President.

This is what obeying in advance looks like & it's horrifying what Bezos is doing to the once storied Washington Post. My friend Bill Banosky just finished a documentary about the legendary political cartoonish Oliphant & it couldn't be more timely & prescient.

Clash of the Titans the 2010 version Netflix, the original was my favourite film as a kid, I remember going to the cinema with mighty expectations & coming out deflated.
So here we go again, the first thing I notice now is that it has quite a cast and Ralph Fiennes is Voldemort in the form of Hades
