I like cool and nice things and hate stupid and mean things. He/him





Bear with me for a personal story that sheds light on this 'antisemitic hate crime' issue. Last year I was invited to deliver a lecture on state violence to a conference. I used Gaza as the main example. A Jewish woman confonted me in the refreshments queue. She accused me of selecting an inappropriate example. I replied that I'm against Netanyahu's regime and I hope you are too. She said nothing and returned to her seat. That was it. Nothing more. The following morning, the conference organiser rang to inform me that I had been reported to the regional police service as the perpetrator of an antisemitic hate crime. NFA, of course, but the incident has still been registered and the university informed. So it's on the statistics. How often is this happening? Genuine question, because I really don't know.

If you’re traveling to Cuba or any impoverished community, or just generally, you should be wearing a mask. We’re 6 years into an ongoing pandemic and airborne disease is real no matter how many “leftists” want to scream and stomp their feet and shout RFK talking points

If the last 10 Best Picture winners were all nominated in the same year, who would get your vote?

lately i’ve been reading a nonfiction book about the history of piracy and i can’t believe the majority of pirates were conducting their business in sloops. like imagine getting robbed at gunpoint by a guy in a toyota corolla

I wonder how much of Western civilization's collapse is downstream of writers and scriptwriters deciding they were too cool and sophisticated to write about good people doing good things.


#Dune3 faces a major challenge, as the next book in the series isn’t considered particularly strong. This isn’t to predict the film will definitely be weaker or radically different. But Denis Villeneuve and his co-writers arguably need to show a level of adaptive flexibility and creativity beyond what they have done so far in order to elevate it to a place where it feels like a 'Return of the King' rather than a 'Godfather Part III.' hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-n…
