The wrap up commentary on this movie review is asinine and filled with agenda driven disinformation and factual errors. You talk about “the vast majority of Hollywood films, and public discourse, look like a wasteland of open wounds and lies” and in the very same paragraph referring to Trump you spread a falsehood by stating that ” but our whole society, which experienced a massive trauma and then forgot about it so thoroughly that it turned around and handed public health to the same guy who’d presided over a million dead.” To correct the record in 2020 the last year of Trumps presidency in the pre-vaccine period there was just over 350,000 Covid deaths which is far short of one million. By comparison in the first year of the Biden presidency there was over 415,000 Covid deaths..[See Link]..https://theworlddata.com/covid-19-deaths-by-year-in-us/ “The movie doesn’t delve into Covid politics” I guess we can leave the delving into politics to propagandistic movie reviewers peddling hokum.

The 140-character limit shows how useful constraints can be for keeping digital communication focused; similarly, tracking everyday essentials benefits from concise, timely information like egg rate today for practical context. https://eggratelab.com/

The article makes a strong case that creative expression often benefits from tight constraints, much like the quick reactions and recognizable moments that work well with a meme soundboard. Short formats can make digital communication more distinctive and memorable. https://soundbuttonsmax.com/

The article makes a strong case that Twitter’s 140-character limit was part of what made the platform distinctive, much like the concise, instantly recognizable reactions found through sonidos botones in online conversations. https://sonidosbotones.com/

All this stuff about Hollywood! How boring. You should really be writing about how your aristocratic ancestors escaped being poulet a la moutard during the French Revolution. https://chaucer.fas.harvard.edu/pages/reynard-and-chanticleer

The 140-character limit worked because the constraint encouraged sharper writing and made Twitter feel distinct from other platforms; that same brevity also explains why botones de sonidos can complement quick, expressive online interactions. https://botonesdesonidos.com/

Once again, please write about the issue you know so well: Muslim neighbors not taking in the kind Palestinians. But please don't humiliate yourself again by repeating this sentence: Many anti-Zionist Jews have visited Gaza over the years and have not only not been murdered, but feted for their courage

The article uses a review of some of my old articles as a springboard to talk about new issues. The issues include the fact that there's a genocide taking place, that Netanyahu was warned about the attack and that the Israeli army was stood down, that the Nova music festival was given an extended license, despite the fact that they knew an attack was imminent, that the Hannibal directive was implemented and that a significant number of Israelis were killed by Israeli fire, and that Hamas had offered to return the hostages, but Netanyahu had refused. All with links. Palestinians are both Christian and Muslim and are indigenous to the region. It's not "a blood feud". It is a settler colonial project in which one people, supported by the West (and by your government in particular) are ethnically cleansing another people. Please pay attention.

Physician, heal thyself. I've never addressed any of these new topics you've introduced. You just want to keep this thing going between us, you didactic bore. You really are just like Roger Waters. Do they stamp them out in the UK? All I did was critique your shoddy, embarrassing essay and you're still sore 2 years later. That's pathetic. Move on! I don't defend everything Israel does. It's a blood feud and they're going to do what they do to each other. Why don't you get off your ass and write something new about Israel/Palestine instead of writing about what I said in the comments section a long time ago? That's what you just did to mark the anniversary of October 7th. You made it about you. Well. It's not about you and your ego, old boy. Write something new about the torture you mention above, or why don't you address the issue of why none of their Muslim neighbors will take in the Palestinians? The only evidence I've seen you produce so far is your doctor Maynard saying that the Palestinians are "kind" people. I'm sure you can do better than that.Well, not sure, but hoping. Then why won't their neighbors who also worship Allah take in these kind people? It upsets you that you can't answer this question, so you change the topic. I'll be happy to respond if you write about that. It's your duty, given your passion for this issue. Until then, I won't engage with your obsessiveness and evasiveness anymore. Time for you to get to work.

Evidence that the Israelis use children for target practice. That they torture and kill Palestinian doctors while in custody, including one who was raped to death. You need to educate yourself my friend. Other links you should find useful in your journey back to sanity include the works of Ilan Pappe, Avi Shlaim, Benjamin Moser and Max Blumenthal. All Jews. All experts in their fields. You've been reading too much Israeli propaganda. It's warped your mind.

For all to see? Is that what you're in this for? To come out on top and have people see what a fraud I am and how right you are? Guess what, nobody gives a shit about what's happening here. You're the one who revived this argument right before October 7th to get more attention. You could have written something new but you want to dwell on this. Sounds like you're still hurt that someone called out your ludicrous and error-filled story. You want me to listen to Dr. Maynard for what reason? So I can get anecdotal evidence from one person that the Palestinians are kind? Can you point out where I said that they were not "kind"?

As I said in the piece, I'm in in two minds about Carlson. The link is to an interview with Dr Maynard. It's his voice I would like you to listen to. He's an actual witness. He's lived and worked in Gaza. He knows the people, and he's seen what the Israelis are doing. You can fulminate and divert all you like, your obvious avoidance of evidence is there for all to see.

Since you love links so much, here's one of your boy Tucker Carlson talking about how the Nazis didn't want to go to war with Britain. He also said that the British fighting the Nazis had been a waste of time. You have the best sources! https://x.com/MaxNordau/status/2106119587385213215?s=20 If you don't know how to follow this link you can copy and paste it into your browser.

Wait, did you actually quote Tucker Carlson here? That's a good one!

Nobody reads links in the comments section. You and one other person who posts here are the only ones I've seen post them. Are you really unable you explain, in your own words, why the Gazans' own Muslim neighbors won't take them in? Egypt won't even allow a refugee camp on its side of the border despite all the misery in Gaza. And do you have any idea why Hamas scrubbed its charter to refer to zionists rather than Jews? Because they have no problem with Jews, only zionists? What a laugh. Do you actually think this change in their charter makes Jews safer in Gaza? Is it possible that you're that out of it? Have you even talked to any Jews in Israel to ask them about their thoughts about walking down the street in Gaza? Can you get that information in all of your links? I see you want to change the topic to IDF military attacks in Gaza, which is another topic altogether, and one that I didn't address. Yeah, the two sides have been at war and they attack each other. I'm sorry, but you being English is neither here nor there. It doesn't make you right. That's a logical fallacy known as appeal to authority. You should know that, CJ. I don't care if you grew up with it. What we're talking about is the immediate response after Oct. 7, not what the BBC reported when you were 15. Over the years, some former BBC executives and presenters (such as former news director Helen Boaden former director-general Mark Thompson, and former presenter Andrew Marr) have acknowledged past instances of an unconscious "liberal groupthink" or cultural slant within the BBC. That's what you grew up with too. Nobody says the BBC has gotten more conservative, because it hasn't. You also don't know, as you claim, both sides of the debate. Your views are not balanced in the least. I'm sure if I bothered to follow all of your links that nobody will click on I would see the bias of your sources. For example, the Centre for Media Monitoring is politically motivated activist group with a left-leaning/Islamist bias.

I recommended one link in particular. It refutes one of your specific points, that the Gazans are inherently violent people. The Hamas charter was altered in 2017 and refers to the Zionist project rather than Jews. Meanwhile, in the same period, Israel made several intentional forays into Gaza in operations it referred to as "mowing the lawn". It's intention was to kill Gaza citizens. Here is a list of attacks upon Gaza from 1956 till the present: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casualties_of_Israeli_attacks_on_the_Gaza_Strip The whole of my piece is a refutation of the things you wrote, with links to evidence, but, just to take one of your points: the difference between us (aside from the fact that I'm aware of the arguments of both sides in this debate, while you only know one) is that I'm English. I know the BBC very well. I've grown up with it. The fact that people complained about it from both sides is neither here nor there. According to one report: "Analysis of 35,000+ pieces of BBC content shows Israeli deaths given 33 times more coverage, per fatality, and significantly more emotive language." The report is by the Centre for Media Monitoring dated 16th June 2025. Here's the link: https://cfmm.org.uk/resource/bbc-on-gaza-israel-one-story-double-standards/ If you don't know how to follow a link in the comments, simply highlight and click. Happy reading.

You havent refuted a single thing I wrote.

You put about 50 links into this piece. You actually think I'm going to click on them???

There is an Aimee Mann station on Siriusxm https://www.siriusxm.com/player/artist-station/entity/6b19da47-a7c4-3fe8-a8a7-8811926473b9

I really enjoyed the interview. Great job making Johns feel comfortable while asking interesting questions, both technical and "spiritual". Will hunt down the book. 🙂

On "Coffee with Scott Adams" today (11/11) Scott Adams says, in discussing how to persuade people, you should watch Cheryl Hines on podcasts, and in particular this episode, if you want to know how to be on a podcast.

That and GQ?

I think seeing The Sting as a young teen or pre-teen helped turn me gay. THAT was a hot couple!

Trump has won twice, but neither of these guys have the slightest idea of why that happened. Try harder, Splice Today.

Hard to imagine thinking that Marc Maron has any real insights into the future of American politics. He's a good comedian and decent interviewer, but his talent stops there. And in this clip, he's talking to a fellow insufferably smug progressive, Sam Seder, who hasn't had an original thought in decades. Posting such material is a total waste of time. Thanks for nothing.

Actually the second littlest one was not her son because he was younger than my dad, i unfortunately don’t remember which cousin he was but the tallest boy was my great aunt’s son.

They are not going to school, my grandfather filmed this. It was a leisurely trip to the end of the line by lake Roland. The little blondie in white was my dad and the dark haired second tallest boy in stripes was my uncle. The lady that was on camera before they boarded was my aunt Bea and the two other boys I think were her sons

Such a great song. So sad youngin's don't know our music in the 60's and 70's was SO much better than their music is.
