Remarkable story in Telegraph revealing just how useless recent Tory governments were:
A secret Whitehall report found that more than £28bn in foreign aid and Covid-19 loans was handed to terrorists, hostile states and gangsters!
The misappropriation of taxpayer funds from 2015 to 2021, includes millions sent to the Islamic State and Russia.
Those responsible remain unpunished and the dossier was buried to spare official embarrassment.

And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Kid… KID ROCK!
Bawitdaba, da-bang, da-bang, diggy-diggy…"
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

Eduard Limonov's ex-lover was the model on the cover.

On this day in 1978, The Cars released their self-titled debut album. Packed with "Just What I Needed," "My Best Friend's Girl," "Good Times Roll," "Moving in Stereo," and "Bye Bye Love," it helped define the sound of new wave and power pop for a generation.

It's been 47 years since the best ever account of an attempted crime (from the Edinburgh Evening News, 18 August 1978)

If this track isn't used in The Odyssey then I will want my money back!

"Stalin got books and speeches and the praise of some of the leading intellectuals of his day; Putin gets a few social media posts from a handful of notorious bullshit artists. I’m almost embarrassed for him."

my gen-x and older professor friends all warn about this. they hired a bunch of illiberal radicals and now that generation is maturing into its own powers...

America routinely taking days/weeks to count ballots now is f’n hilarious. They might as well announce results in Hamburglar costumes

‘Not since Tucker Carlson had his mind blown by a trip to a grocery store have we seen such hard-hitting exposés of Western lies.’

@DanielKalder on Candace Owens’s trip to Russia 👇 https://t.co/vmbop2uyOy

[UnHerd @unherd]

The Kremlin has always known how to turn Western celebrities into propaganda assets.

But Candace Owens is something of a downgrade from George Bernard Shaw, writes @DanielKalder 👇 https://t.co/vmbop2uyOy

Zack Snyder will be writing and directing the remake of John Carpenter's ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK.

StudioCanal is teaming with The Picture Company on the brand new reimagining.

Kurt Russell starred as Snake Plissken in the 1981 original.

[Daniel Kalder @DanielKalder]

What an asshat

[Jacob Shell @JacobAShell]

I love it when people breathlessly show up to comments to "explain"--as if the explanation doesn't make this scene even weirder and accentuate its 'accidental satire' sublime. "Don't you see, he's an Arsenal fan and Arsenal makes kurtas to be worn at Muslim holidays, but Arsenal sold its naming rights to Emirates Airways bc 21st UK has no identity separate from being Airstrip One for Global Capital, so the kurta for religious holidays says 'Fly Emirates' instead of 'Arsenal.' There is no equivalent NY Knicks kurta for some reason, or maybe the NYC mayor doesnt like the Knicks and prefers the London 'FLY EMIRATES' football team because in colonial times London was the capital of Uganda...So, you see? It's all very clear and not weird at all."

[Daniel Kalder @DanielKalder]

Very true, because it is a shite film.

[Meso☄️ @M3S0soic]

The remake of Invaders from Mars. It was directed by Tobe Hooper, written by Dan O'Bannon with effects by John Dykstra and Stan Winston. With such a team it probably should've been a better movie.
