James Cameron: "I have an idea for a movie the message of which is that colonialism could have been thwarted if natives just let well meaning white people appropriate their culture, bang their women, and lead them into battle."

The DOJ released thousands of numerically labeled Epstein files yesterday.
In one file was a photo of Trump with young girls.
As of this morning, that file EFTA00000468 is now missing from the DOJ website.
They deleted it.

I also entirely agree that zero sum thinking is a thing - but it’s worth pursuing the implications a little further…
This by the excellent @jburnmurdoch.ft.com confirms my view that political trends are being driven by the halting of the upward economic conveyor belt - striking charts: www.ft.com/content/30a4... Welcome to the age of zero-sum politics

If you live in Bristol, love horror and want to support local businesses, please consider doing some of your Christmas shopping at The Haunted Bookshop in Stokes Crofts.
You may have seen Monika at some of our events and her shop is a wonderful sanctuary for those looking to find their people.

Two babies were born in New York within a year of each other, soon after WWII.
One, Rob Reiner, lived a life of humanity and achievement. He brought us delight and joy. His memory will be a blessing.
The other, Donald Trump, will be remembered as an embarrassment to our nation.

There's a lot you could say about this unhinged, late night rant from the President. But the most reckless part is how easily he throws around the word "seditious" whenever someone says something he doesn't like. It undermines our democracy and puts people in danger.

BREAKING: Nigel Farage has been reported to police by a former member of his campaign team over claims of falsified election expenses. Given the serious nature of the allegations the Met’s specialist crime group will assess the documents that have been submitted.

It's all bad but hadn't seen the bit where Farage says:
"The European Union is the prototype for the New World Order."
That is a seriously, deeply problematic term that taps into Illuminati and antisemitic conspiracy theories.
How the fuck did this man direct the course of our politics?
