The figures for Mid and East Antrim council area, in which Ballymena sits, show a net total of fewer than 5,000 international migrants have settled there this century! Any talk of immigration as a pressure point, or "unfettered", is a complete misnomer. Egregious herrenvolk bollocks!

I was devastated to hear of the passing of Marjane Satrapi. She was an incredible artist, an absolute force of nature and a beautiful human. I am so grateful for the time we got to spend together and am heartbroken for her family and friends. Sleep well brilliant Marjane, you were the real deal XO

My interview with Irish filmmaker Damian McCarthy on his new film HOKUM is live on @fangoria.bsky.social! HOKUM stars Adam Scott and it's a shrieker - scary, imaginative, and moving. Opens this weekend, and it absolutely should be seen in a theater with a big crowd for maximum screamage! 😱⚡🤩

Caught HOKUM at SXSW. Very scary, very fun and unexpectedly moving. Damian McCarthy is a master of the craft, and Adam fully embodies his protagonist, a cantankerous, alcoholic author who ends up out of his depth (literally). Horror fans, this is the film for YOU!
