Update: It is not good. The cast is stacked apart from the bauld Mel, who is comprehensively out of his depth, and the costumes are impressive, but Zafirelli's direction sucks the life out of it. The actors recite the script as if it were the Latin mass, rather than performing it. 5/10. Big meh.

Oh my god I totally forgot Mel Gibson was a Hamlet. I have morbid curiosity. It has to be done. #filmsky

Iran Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi: "We never asked for a ceasefire or negotiations. We are really to defend ourselves as long as it takes until President Trump comes to the point that this is an illegal war. There are people being killed only because President Trump wants to have fun."

The Wexford Opera Festival - one of this country's most encouraging underdog successes and a great example of what cultural festivals can do for our towns - is on this year from the 15th to the 31st of October.

Those are Trump's own second-hand shoes or I'll eat a separate, less embarrassing shoe. I guarantee they're in his size. He gave Marco Beag a pair of his old shoes as a "gift" and now Marco has to wear them if he ever wants to be Gauleiter of Havana.

Yes, hello, is that God? Yeah, hi. I have a complaint. You gave me this brain that’s designed for finding berries and avoiding lions and now people are ‘just circling back’ to see if we can ‘move the needle’ on ‘key initiatives’? NONE of those things are berries.

The US is a criminal state ruled by a sociopathic idiot.

BREAKING: The US has bombed Tehran’s main refinery and burning oil is now flooding down the streets into the city’s sewers. This is a vision from hell, unleashed by the US tonight. (🎥 Vahid Online)

This for all writing that's in any way important or consequential, not just long-form writing. Important text message? Read it out loud. Email? Read that bish. Memo for work? Recite! Another valuable hack, if you've time: set it aside. Do other things. Come back to it. You'll see things you hadn't.

Have said this before in other forms, but will reiterate it here: if you're doing long-form writing of any sort, reading the words aloud into a microphone is a completely unparalleled cheat code. It's free, easy, and so effective it feels like it shouldn't be allowed. I do it in a few stages...

Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region. Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat. We live in Orwellian times.

Well done to fascist America for Operation Epic Fuckup, which is having precisely the result everyone expected. Hope all those children you guys blew up were worth it.

It's so firms from the USA can go in afterwards and rebuild it whilst charging the Iranian people for the privilege.

Americans' ongoing delusion that laws mean anything to the Trumpist regime is going to be fodder for case studies for generations.

What do you mean, “stepping in as acting secretary”? By law, Markwayne Mullin is not eligible to serve as acting secretary

He's absolutely going to try to do a Venezuela in Cuba.

Trump to Rubio: "Your next one is gonna be Cuba. He's waiting but he says, 'Let's get this one finished first.' We could do them all at the same time, but bad things happen."

Absolutely delusional to believe that this White House understands any such thing, or that Hair Hitler has any intention of relinquishing power, elections or lame duckness or not. Trump creates his own and their reality. That's all that matters to them.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Himes: "Already you see the White House in an absolute panic over gas prices, coming up with wild ideas ... they understand that this terrible decision they have taken is going to end this presidency. We're gonna have a lame duck president for 3 years with 20 to 30% approval."

This is chilling, but it's not surprising to anyone who remembers when Falwell and The Gipper realised that revival-flavoured fundamentalist American Christian ethnonationalism was the easiest, most insidious way to manipulate the Good Ole Boys. The Yeehawdi fanatics are running the show now.
