"Mr. Nobody Against Putin"
The most important Oscar speech tonight wasn’t about film.
The director of “Mr. Nobody Against Putin” just said this from the stage:
“You lose your country through countless small acts of complicity. When we act complicit when a government murders people on the streets. When oligarchs take over the media and control how we produce and consume it. We all face a moral choice. But even a nobody is more powerful than you think.”
He was talking about Russia.
The audience knew he was talking about America too.
Elon Musk owns the platform you’re reading this on.
David Ellison is buying CNN — Pete Hegseth said it will be “far better” when he does.
The DOGE deposition videos were removed from YouTube.
The Epstein files are sealed.
The Pentagon won’t release a casualty count.
Countless small acts of complicity.
That’s how you lose it.
A nobody is more powerful than you think.
Never stop connecting the dots.

BBC's hit show, The Capture
@Independent

BBC’s hit show, The Capture, is returning to screens after four years. A premise that was once called ‘preposterous’ and ‘implausible’ now feels eerily prescient in the age of AI and deepfakes.

Coming up shortly on MeTV --
Chad & Jeremy - Yesterday's Gone (1964)
Coming up shortly on MeTV --
"Batman" The Cat's Meow (TV Episode 1966)
The Catwoman "steals" the voice of a television talk-show host in the middle of an interview with Bruce Wayne. She plants clues to suggest either the Joker, Riddler or Penguin may have committed the crime. In the meantime, she has fooled Commissioner Gordon into thinking she has gone straight. She makes her first mistake when she masquerades as Miss Klutz, a dance instructor visiting Wayne Manor. Allergic to dogwood, she sneezes and gives herself away.
Her next target is to "steal" the voices of British singers Chad and Jeremy. Batman and Robin eventually track her to a dance studio, where a fight erupts. After it appears the Dynamic Duo has triumphed over Catwoman's forces, she drugs them. The heroes are placed inside a chamber where the sounds of water dripping will be magnified many, many times and drive them insane.

Good luck selling the Trump agenda Terri 
Although she'll get plenty of money from Betsy DeVos to back her bid no doubt.

Noted economist Ron Vara is the economic expert behind Trump's Tariff policy..
I had never heard this before but it does not surprise me.
If you had forecast all this crap about Trump in 2015 nobody would have believed it..
