Czechs LOVED Chuck Norris -- and these ads starring the US actor were a big hit about a decade and a half ago

This is an absolutely phenomenal piece of James Bond media. Sean Connery (on the set of GOLDFINGER) explaining the real life inspiration for changing 007s firearm of choice.
You don’t get behind the scenes videos like this anymore.

@HistorianBlood No, but not something that starts with Blair et al. Well, that's an issue; the British inability to investigate and learn from prior scandals is stunningly awful
English
@MDRBrown I don’t think I claimed it was ‘new’ given that Savile’s crimes dated back to the 60s - a decade marked by serious sex crimes. Its time for a serious investigation in the public interest - but can the British people trust any of the relevant agencies?

#Epstein - the latest release of documents are showing the depth of vile behaviour of politicians & hi-society. It’s also revealing how far international financial markets were manipulated & the insider-trading. Remember the year’s of devastating economic austerity!!

@HistorianBlood Hum, I've no idea, and not totally convinced it's new in any meaningful sense, David Peace dramatised something of this in his Red Ridings trilogy set in the 1960s

@MDRBrown This case also raises serious questions about the moral corruption and depravity polluting the establishment. The Mandelson story, Jimmy Savile, Harris, Andrew, where does it end?
English
@MDRBrown Blair, Brown, Mandelson, bad for Labour - worse for the country.

My Iranian family before the 1979 Islamic Revolution
The Cradle@TheCradleMedia
VIDEO | Italian talk show Agorà showed its audience an image from the 1990 film Goodfellas, falsely presenting it as a real photo of an Iranian family before the 1979 Islamic Revolution. The image, featuring actors Robert De Niro and Ray Liotta, is part of a well-known meme trend in which random photos are labeled as “Iranians before 1979.”

Anne Applebaum - who blocked me - says that US aligns itself with 'predator' states like Russia. She uses this unserious term to avoid the words 'aggressive' or 'imperialist'. Tells you how ridiculous US exceptionalist thinking is even in its conservative anti trump mode.

@tylersyck @AndrewRWheeler You’re an intellectual. You are the true elite. Dress however you like.
Apologies for the rant.

The makers of the West Wing should have put Jed Bartlet in an oxford button down collar shirt to truly prove his upper crust New England background.

Can't believe my luck: the new annual train timetable is out, and they have more than doubled the number of trains to Prague and to Graz from Vienna. Yoo-hoo! 😇😎🥰

@MDRBrown If you mean clean trains and common politeness, then yes.
