sure Villeneuve nailed Dune I & II but let's see how he

[Xerrox Xenonym @MrMononym]

@girldrawsghosts It's silly of me, I know, but I'll never be able to give The Dark Knight it's due because I'll always see it in the light of what it could have been if it built on the promise of Begins.

I think you've hit the nail on the head - it feels like he resented adapting a comic at all.

[Xerrox Xenonym @MrMononym]

@girldrawsghosts To this day, no adaptation of Batman (and possibly any comic) has nailed the perfect balance of realism and comic book whimsy like Batman Begins - sometimes shifting more grounded, sometimes more stylised, so that when it goes full Scarecrow it doesn't break the spell at all.

The British Museum has partnered with the genocide-denying Board of Deputies, on what they're billing as a new "Jewish culture month".

The main lecture intends to use museum artefacts to argue for an ancient Israelite kingdom – an oft-cited basis for Israeli claims of exclusive rights over all of historic Palestine and an implicit rationale for the current genocide in Gaza.

This is the same British Museum that, under pressure from the Israel lobby, recently erased the name "Palestine" and "Palestinian" from its exhibitions.

There's now a predictable "free speech" outcry that the lecture has been postponed till next month because a group of Jewish artists had booked to attend and were expected to challenge the evidence-free thesis that the "Israelites" were the original "owners" of Palestine.

Jewish Artists for Palestine issued a statement that it was “entirely legitimate” to expect a publicly funded museum to host conversations reflecting “different points of view” and that treating debate as “a security concern points to the event as a pro-Zionist propaganda exercise”.

Media coverage – like the Guardian's below – has, also predictably, buried all this context to promote another antisemitism moral panic.

@smerkinkones I was thinking this Labour government is the absolute worst they can get, and along comes this revenant to prove me wrong

[Xerrox Xenonym @MrMononym]

@joecguinan If Blair somehow managed to come back as PM, his unpopularity make Starmer look like Truss by comparison. (Still incredibly unpopular, but not quite as bad)

[Xerrox Xenonym @MrMononym]

It turns out there *is* a more delusional position than Liz Truss wanting to become Prime Minister again

[Freddie Sayers @freddiesayers]

“How much ink has been spilled, in recent months, on the matter of “Anglo-Gaullism”? Here he is, at last, le Général — and he was under our noses all along!”

@si_rubinstein makes the case for Tony Blair — as Britain’s next prime minister.

@BareLeft I disagree.
But only on the bit about 'no offence'

[Xerrox Xenonym @MrMononym]

@williamnhutton This is unhinged, Will. Have you been drinking river water?

[Mr Bastardos @Ken_Stonger]

@williamnhutton Hi Will, I don't think you're in a position to be lecturing the Green Party on the environment

[Xerrox Xenonym @MrMononym]

This is exactly the kind of behaviour that stops people from wanting to 'destroy and replace' your party

[Genevieve Holl-Allen @genevieve_holl]

A Green Party source accused Labour of having decided to “punish the voters with a central ban on Labour councillors working together with the Greens for the good of their communities”

But a Labour source hit back saying the Greens wanted to "destroy and replace" them

@jessicaelgot Extraordinary launch video - never seen a by-election campaign which is such an explicit pitch to both the place and to the country:

@BootsRiley I'll be there on opening weekend in the UK - do you know if it has a release date here yet?

Graham Linehan,@Glinner so I am not being subversive, is and has been paid by the Israeli state for the last few months as part of their Hasbara programme (files now in inbox after a weird endless transaction effort for fuck all money).

It is designed to undermine western democracies and to support mass murder of Arabs.

It began when Graham fled the UK, and a lawyer of an actor associate introduced him to the programme.

He now is paid to post to hurt western people to support dead brown babies.

Said without prejudice.

Said as fact I'll never be sued over.

@breadandposes *And* he's named after the wood that killed Macscottishplay

[Xerrox Xenonym @MrMononym]

Yeah fair

[JimmyTheGiant @jimthegiant]

Burnham is not the be all and end all, he is not the objective, he is far from perfect.

But this should be seen as an achievement of the greens - you are having a mainstream potential labour leader give ground at least rhetorically to an anti thatcher, anti neoliberal and pro public ownership argument.

This moves the narrative away from immigration and the greens can build from this.

This can pave the way for a much more radical future, this is a win to see this enter mainstream politics.

@Steven_Swinford @tompeck Wes Streeting's main problem here is that people can't stand Wes Streeting.
