1. Worf should get his own show. 2. 'Star Trek: The Motion Picture' is quite good, actually.

So what you are saying is that it is the world's fault that Israelis voted in Netanyahu and his far-right coalition at a time when he was actively under investigation for corruption? Antisemitism should be called out and resisted, but perhaps the Israeli people have some responsibility here.

Don't forget the noise. Someone in our estate here in Galway bought one. You can hear him coming from a mile away. Which I'm guessing is the point.

Also this graph. The USA has borrowed trillions of $ to pay for their economic expansion in the past few decades. Their budget deficit grows larger & larger because they just add servicing their debt on top of their normal budget. Like Italy in the 80s. Like China in the past decade. Unsustainable.

Een welgeteste methode van populisten wanneer ze macht krijgen. 'We willen niet verbieden; we stellen gewoon vragen.' De dreiging om in de publiciteit gesleept te worden zodat de volgelingen van de populisten een hetze kunnen beginnen is vaak genoeg om veranderingen af te dwingen in de media.

You seem to be British, so you are probably well familiar with the following: Get Carter (1971) The Sweeney (TV Series, but they made a movie in 1977)

I hope you waved and shouted when you saw them across the hall - calling out their names loudly when they tried to ignore you. It's only good parenting.

American stuff that should be easy to find: The Taking of Pelham One Two Three (1974) The Driver (1978) Assault on Precinct Thirteen (1976)

I have a real soft spot for thrillers and cop movies from the seventies. The cars, the streets - and actors who are allowed to be ugly. Not just American movies, either. There are some great Italian cop movies from that time. Just endless car chases in crappy FIATs.
