Goosebumps! People often ask, is Shakespeare still relevant? Here is a great example, from the Steven Colbert Show, in which Sir Ian McKellen delivers an extraordinary speech. Shakespeare’s words are timeless, urgent and important.

"Battle Hymn of the Republic" is not a song to be taken on lightly ... but in light of this week's New Year Trumpian news onslaught, we're sharing this adaptation, called "Battle Hymn of the Empire" - as Trump goes marching on, and dragging us all back to the nineteenth century.
Millions of words are expended trying to analyze Donald Trump when the simple truth is that he's a horrible human being who is everything decent parents teach their kids not to be.
Republicans, this is what you did. So when your son assaults a girl, lies, refuses to listen to his teachers, refuses to take responsibility for any mistake, goes off on immigrants, don't act surprised. You told him this behavior was presidential and positive.
Do you think this will help him lead a better life, have a successful career, and have positive relationships with women?
Meanwhile, the children of the parents who stood by values of decency and honesty and didn't treat kindness as weakness, who taught their kids that it was the right thing to do to admit mistakes, that higher education is the fastest route to a stable life, they are going to have much happier, successful lives.
MAGA is creating a divided country. MAGA is less healthy, less educated, less equipped to deal with a diverse world of different opinions. The MAGA America will make less money and struggle more.
Character is a choice. Trump was your choice. Now live with the consequences.
Here’s a song about #Signalgate – the flamboyant US security breach – adapted from one of our all-time fave @BeeGeesOfficial songs, titled “You Were Not Supposed to Message it Through!”
A quick turnaround, but only 5 of us as Alfie (really our best fake Bee Gee) away 🔥👊💪🙏🎶
Stephen Fry, "The bullies have risen to the top"
"I call it fascism because that's what it is"
"It's a cult of power, and a cult of warrior worship, and a total contempt for the old world order"
"You have to remember the psychology of the bully at school"
"Bullies feast on the fears that they cause"
"Look at who Trump admires.. Putin's Russia.. Places moving towards fascism, nationalism, and they don't listen to people like Starmer"
"Starmer will be called a nice guy by Trump until he says something which expresses his support for Ukraine, something which he has to do, and then he'll be slapped down and Trump will say: I thought he was nasty"
"It's bullying, it's fascism, and we have to realign ourselves in recognition that this is no longer the proper world"
