James Carville backs Graham Platner: “We’ve got a fucked up guy who could be 100x more fucked up than he is and he’d never be as fucked up as what we’ve got in Washington. This country is about to lose it, the whole goddamn thing. We gotta win this. If we got a person that’s understandably got issues, good. Maybe people oughta see it and maybe we oughta be reminded what these stupid wars have brought about and the consequence of said stupid wars that stupid Susan Collins’ been for all of her political life”
If you've made up your mind on Platner after drilling down with investigative intent—not relying on rumor, innuendo, libel, or gloss—you do you.
If your mind is open or you simply still feel curiosity, Sebastian Junger has a lot to say worth reading.

Tony Blair is the living embodiment of what happens when political office becomes a down payment on future plunder. Ejected in 2007 by his own MPs as a massive liability, he bequeathed Britain a wild casino economy primed for the 2008 crash. And when the British economy crashed and burned, Mr Blair kept quiet while honing his skills at securing power by other means.
His first job, after his ejection from 10 Downing Street, was as the West’s Middle East envoy, with a supposed emphasis on Gaza. It took six painful years for Mr Blair’s tenure to prove a failure so profound it amounted to active complicity in Israel’s ethnic cleansing, in Palestinian erasure, and in paving the ground for the ongoing genocide.
Soon after, the Chilcot Inquiry demolished Blair’s Iraq lies, exposing him as a liar, a chancer and a war criminal responsible for countless corpses of Iraqis, but also of British soldiers.
Then came Blair’s real innovation: the financialisation of the ex-premiership itself. The Tony Blair Institute, fuelled by £130 million from Oracle's Larry Ellison—coincidentally, the largest individual donor to the Friends of the IDF—became a shadow state, brokering governance contracts for autocrats and companies like Palantir that weaponise AI to produce mega-death abroad and full-on surveillance of Western populations.
Now, in May 2026, this corporate fixer issues a 5700 word tantrum demanding that Labour embrace Trump even more than Starmer already has, denounce what is left of Labour’s betrayed Green New Deal, and trash the remnants of workers' rights. This is not the wisdom of an aging statesman. It is the frantic squirming of a man fearing his grip on oligarchic power might soon wane and whose entire post-10 Downing Street existence depends on preventing the many from ever reclaiming what the few have plundered.

Capolavoro DEFINITIVO (rubato dalla pagina FB "Il Sorpasso Cinema")
Prima fa campagna per il SI (ma non troppo, per non esporsi), vince il NO e cerca di speculare aprendo a freddo la partita delle Primarie, consapevole che senza contenuti potabili l'unica via per esserci è personalizzare, in barba agli interessi sociali degli elettori.

Tucker Carlson: Well, I’ve been critical of the Israeli government.
The Economist: I’ve been plenty critical.

On this day, 55 years ago, Giuliano Montaldo's "Sacco & Vanzetti" (1971) was released in Italy.
According to the director, the first shot of the Gian Maria Volontè's monologue was cut, even if perfect, because one of the smaller players started crying due to the convincing performance.
