benpaul83.bsky.social @benpaul83.bsky.social · 29/01/2026I got sent a video yesterday that was obviously AI of white children being forced to do muslim prayers in "a Bradford school". The person who sent it said it doesn't matter if it's fake because it's true. How we as a society avoid mass psychosis in the near future I don't know. 061
benpaul83.bsky.social @benpaul83.bsky.social · 28/01/2026I saw ads on bus stops down here in Trump country. Barcelona in Spain, that is. 000
benpaul83.bsky.social @benpaul83.bsky.social · 26/01/2026I only read about this guy for the first time the other week. The story is horrifying but the reason I heard about it is because this graph shows that he and Bob Dylan are the only still-alive people referenced in We Didn't Start the Fire 180
benpaul83.bsky.social @benpaul83.bsky.social · 24/01/2026This is my big problem with Bone Temple. No completely thrilling Day One sequence. 000
benpaul83.bsky.social @benpaul83.bsky.social · 20/01/2026One of the greatest final acts of all time 💪 020
benpaul83.bsky.social @benpaul83.bsky.social · 19/01/2026‘Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace’ 000
benpaul83.bsky.social @benpaul83.bsky.social · 19/01/2026They've already let slide pogrom language about Somalis, Haitians and more, dismissing it as 'an opinion'. Who will the mainstream press endanger next with their passivity? 000
benpaul83.bsky.social @benpaul83.bsky.social · 19/01/2026I see your point but at this stage dispassion is part of the problem - words like 'aggression', 'corruption', 'authoritarian' need to start appearing in the day to day reporting if news orgs are going to describe the situation accurately. 200
benpaul83.bsky.social @benpaul83.bsky.social · 19/01/2026Talking with friends last night about the 10+ years of his terrible and constant looming psychic presence in our minds and how it has unhinged us all to one degree or another. Contemplating getting a special bottle of something for when It happens. 020
benpaul83.bsky.social @benpaul83.bsky.social · 15/01/2026@davidlsims.bsky.social did u do a Larry David "JUDY!" on Critical Darlings? 100
benpaul83.bsky.social @benpaul83.bsky.social · 12/01/2026I used the word Sanguine the other day and my homie picked me up on it. It was the right damn word! 000
benpaul83.bsky.social @benpaul83.bsky.social · 12/01/2026I've never, ever seen him given credit for bringing down the Berlin Wall. Wild. Think The Scorpions and David Hasselhoff had a bigger role if anyone. 100
benpaul83.bsky.social @benpaul83.bsky.social · 11/01/2026He is on so many drugs, if I were that rich I would spend that money on really good Indian food and with the rest of my time I don't know but I would not obsess over race on twitter and take those drugs. 061
benpaul83.bsky.social @benpaul83.bsky.social · 11/01/2026Oh, apologies for the mistaken identity. TLJ has always seemed like a tough cookie, Ed Harris would intimidate me the most I think. 110
benpaul83.bsky.social @benpaul83.bsky.social · 11/01/2026Vulture Cinematrix No. 656: Jan 11, 2026 I got 9/9 Correct Score: 2655 🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩 Play at: vulture.com/vulturecinem...vulture.comCinematrix No. 656: January 11, 2026Can you name a Keanu Reeves released between 1980 and 2000? 000
benpaul83.bsky.social @benpaul83.bsky.social · 11/01/2026Fun one today. Didn't you have a disastrous interview experience with Meg Ryan? Or Michelle Pfeiffer? I think you spoke about it on the Flop House. I think about it a lot anyway 100
benpaul83.bsky.social @benpaul83.bsky.social · 10/01/2026I listened to this earlier this week and it was great 120
benpaul83.bsky.social @benpaul83.bsky.social · 10/01/2026I remember watching telly at a cafe in Lisbon the day Teresa May was trying to get Brexit through parliament, and one of the stories on the Portuguese news was that someone in Vendas Novas had smashed up a cigarette machine and stolen all the fags. I burned with jealousy. 020
benpaul83.bsky.social @benpaul83.bsky.social · 09/01/2026We had a VHS for taping performances off Top of the Pops and it was VERY well-worn by the time we left home 010
benpaul83.bsky.social @benpaul83.bsky.social · 08/01/2026Have you read Sebastian Haffner? His Defying Hitler was revelatory to me as a chronicle of living under Nazism 000
benpaul83.bsky.social @benpaul83.bsky.social · 08/01/2026Bob Dylan's oscar-winning song Things Have Changed was made for this movie and for 20ish years afterwards the trophy came onstage with him at every show 😍 010
benpaul83.bsky.social @benpaul83.bsky.social · 07/01/2026I only watched Deadwood through once and that's about the only moment I remember from it (besides Swearengen's grotesque kidney stones odyssey) 000
benpaul83.bsky.social @benpaul83.bsky.social · 06/01/2026Twin Peaks The Return made rubble out of me 000
benpaul83.bsky.social @benpaul83.bsky.social · 06/01/2026Eating outside at home is usually more trouble than it's worth 010
benpaul83.bsky.social @benpaul83.bsky.social · 05/01/2026It's worth remembering Elon Musk's knob is reportedly mangled btw. Noone ever mentions this in the context of him becoming a maniac. I think it might be one of the most important botched penis extensions of our time. 130
benpaul83.bsky.social @benpaul83.bsky.social · 05/01/2026Running across the patio in the winter from our house to the greenhouse and wondering "Did I leave the door open", brainfarting and running into a closed glass door, €300 pair of glasses destroyed and nose pain for days 000
benpaul83.bsky.social @benpaul83.bsky.social · 04/01/2026Hmmm sure hope I don't end up having to race Chocobos, seems like a waste of time 000
benpaul83.bsky.social @benpaul83.bsky.social · 04/01/2026But why does the Atlantic sit on the fence like that in their headline? It's not right to abduct and threaten the leaders of a country that's done nothing and they know it 010
benpaul83.bsky.social @benpaul83.bsky.social · 04/01/2026International law and the idea of Sovereignty take no account of whether a leader is unpleasant or even tyrannical, they exist to protect smaller countries against stronger ones. This unprovoked attack on a capital city and kidnapping, as well as the attacks on fishing boats, are catastrophic 010
benpaul83.bsky.social @benpaul83.bsky.social · 02/01/2026I find Horner's work on the Avatars quite indifferent compared to his scores for Aliens and Terminator 1&2 100
benpaul83.bsky.social @benpaul83.bsky.social · 02/01/2026Robert Duvall, too. The way he controls himself. The missing secret sauce of Part III 000
benpaul83.bsky.social @benpaul83.bsky.social · 01/01/2026It's bizarre we all know who he is anyway. Dilbert man wouldn't be famous if he wasn't right wing. I don't even think it's a gift. 250
benpaul83.bsky.social @benpaul83.bsky.social · 01/01/2026Would say American Pie is also not a good choice, too long & maudlin 000
benpaul83.bsky.social @benpaul83.bsky.social · 01/01/2026Tbf if it got him into the House of Lords instead of the White House I'd take it 000
