We are very sad to learn that Suzanne Desrocher-Romero has passed away.
Founder of the George A. Romero Foundation, Suzanne worked tirelessly to preserve the legacy of her late husband, George A. Romero, supporting a new generation of horror creators every step of the way.
Ian Paisley claims he saw Jeffrey Donaldson get so drunk on a trade trip to a Beijing he projectile vomited on the mayor of Beijing
- BBC NI spotlight reporter Mandy McAuley investigation also has David Trimble's widow saying Donaldson used his Christianity to "hoodwink" people
The moment “Born Slippy” kicks in at the end of Trainspotting (1996), the film hits another level. Renton’s betrayal, his escape, and that rush of adrenaline all collide with Underworld’s music to create one of the most electrifying endings.
Being assessed, reassessed, or even the prospect of DWP reassessment, is perhaps the most universally triggering thing in this country, and has been for 15 years. When I say trigger I don’t mean upset — I mean self-injury, relapse, admission, suicidality.
A woman hiking in Canada nearly became a grizzly’s next meal and the video circulating right now is genuinely one of the most intense wildlife encounters you will ever watch - her dog is with her, a massive grizzly is right there, and somehow she kept her head together long enough for both of them to walk away breathing.
That is not a small thing. Most people talk tough until nature is standing ten feet in front of them and every instinct in your body is screaming to run, and running is exactly the worst thing you can do.
Grizzlies are built to chase, they top out over 700 pounds and can cover ground faster than any human alive. The people who survive these moments are the ones who override pure fear with pure discipline and this woman did exactly that.
If you hike, camp, or spend any real time in the wilderness - bear spray is not optional, it is the difference between a story you tell and one somebody else tells about you.
Could you have kept your cool?
Hats off to her.

Will Elon Musk and other MAGA types be tweeting about this former top rightwing politician in the UK who was just found guilty of being a pedophile and whose wife aided and abetted him in those sick sex crimes against children? If not, why not?
I’ll never forget Keir Starmer’s island of strangers speech and how he fanned the flames of hateful anti-immigration rhetoric that is radicalising people & making the country less safe for us all. What a legacy to leave behind as a Labour leader.
Every. Word. Of. This.
And that’s not even getting into Mandelson, Labour Together’s outrageous – arguably criminal – behaviour, and his fervent shagging of techbroligarchs, throwing the intellectual property rights of every creative person in the country into their pirate ships.
BREAKING: Keir Starmer Resigns
Media sold Starmer as 'forensic, decent & capable' PM. He was NEVER that as we made clear yrs ago:
"Starmer is a LIAR in charge of a brutal, authoritarian, inhuman political machine but you wouldn't know about that if you read or watched UK media"
The 1992 film Candyman was based on Clive Barker’s short story “The Forbidden,” originally set on the Piggeries estate in Liverpool.
Barker also drew inspiration from the image on the Tate & Lyle Golden Syrup tin: a dead lion surrounded by bees, paired with the biblical phrase “Out of the strong came forth sweetness.” This influenced the Candyman’s own bee-filled body and line “Sweets to the sweet.”
Also, the Tate & Lyle refinery stood on Love Lane in Liverpool. In American urban legend, Lovers’ Lane is the classic setting where young couples are stalked and murdered by a hook-handed killer, mirroring the Candyman.
Liverpool didn’t just inspire Candyman, it built him.
Congratulations on having arguably the most hated man in Ireland on you show.
What message does this send to the victims of sexual abuse Jimmy ?
Very disappointed to see this.
