I have never heard of Rick Springfield. Just googled his hits. Never heard any of them before. He must have completely bypassed the UK and gone straight for US College rock radio. It's terrible.

Why legitimise a narrative from the Ministry for the Propagation of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice ?

The reality is four incredibly dull men burning a pile of junk in the desert.

No. They wouldn't dare.

 She converted to Islam many years ago and changed her name. No mention of that.

From the article :

O'Connor announced in 2018 that she had converted to Islam and would be adopting the name Shuhada’ Davitt, later Shuhada Sadaqat

She was utterly vilified by conservatives for raising awareness of child sexual abuse long before they all suddenly cared (but not really).

A fierce spirit. RIP.

Im sure if my boss told a co worker im straight no one would bat an eye....

Depends doesn't it ? Maybe your straightness is limited to hugely overweight grandmothers. Would you be happy everyone knew that ?

I imagine most people in the world are not at all interested in a movie about a man who develops the worst weapon in humanity.

In fact, that same majority of people would be looking for the polar opposite.

rumble.com. The goobersphere.

A previous June 2022 review of posts from Rumble's 200 most prominent accounts found that 49 percent had posted about guns or gun rights, 48 percent had posted about abortion, 44 percent had posted about LGBT topics, 42 percent had posted about the January 6 Capitol attack, and 26 percent had posted about vaccines.

My God, the people of Uxbridge and South Ruislip are glutton for punishment.

That noise you can hear is The Sound of Freedom.

I think you’re mistaken. Isn’t Jordan Peterson the racist fella who hosted the Generation Game?

No. That was Wolfgang Petersen.

There has never been a Jordan Peterson at Liverpool.

I like you Wallace but the internet has lost you today. Jordan Peterson was at Sunderland.

It's going to be great. Hopefully their will be a musical version.

Madonna has had several #1 singles, a possible woman's record but her music is style over substance. Not worth a damn.

I am guessing your personal dislike of Madonna, the person, is clouding your musical judgement. She was, and remains, the most influential female artist of the last 40 years.

Almost as important as the performing aspect is her business acumen. Her A&R abilities are as good as any music label boss and she pioneered the path now taken by Beyonce and Taylor Swift.

I'm not a fan of any of their music but they are certainly due respect.

Sorry, but you can't beat a Daily Yamazaki egg mayo sandwich. They certainly don't scrimp.

Please don't encourage them.

What Alfie ? You mean you aren't looking forward to the prospect of Sound of Freedom 4 : Assault on Pizza Shop 13 ?

Just five prominent accounts notorious for promoting this falsehood were estimated to generate $6.4 million annually for Twitter in ad revenues, the study said.

Hate is very good for business.

Sound of Freedom is more of a life changer though.

For sure. Been looking forward to Sound of Freedom for ages. It's what has been missing from movies. A real popcorn big screen epic.

Hopefully it will bring on many sequels, prequels and origin stories.

somebody teached me how to cut and paste

but dems

The data shows that absolute climate change denial is about 5% of the population in the US and a few other developing nations, suggesting it could be a lack of education :

Also, data shows that conservative boomers are the most likely to deny climate change or that humans are the cause :

To summarise :-

Conservative boomers with no college education.

@Miles Teg

So you have been getting angry at teenager movies. Still legally children but it obviously bothers you that movies made for humans who cannot legally do most things are not made for you. A grown adult. I presume.

Rated-G are children's films. Recent woke crap like Dial of Destiny and Little Mermaid were PG-13. Most woke crap were PG-13 so not children's movies. You clearly don't understand what Rated-G means. The 1989 animated version of Little Mermaid was Rated-G and it wasn't woke.

Jeez. What age is an adult ? If you are under 18, you are a child. They are movies made for children.

If you need to take your mum or dad to the cinema with you, you are watching a children's movie.

Because the US is a shining city upon a hill, a beacon of hope for the oppressed and huddled masses yearning to breathe free. The wretched refuse of the teeming shore who have been deprived of the freedoms that Americans have but don't appreciate.

... only to get shot in school by a man-boy with an automatic weapon.

Who cares! Nothing but far left progressives who live in their own little bubble.

The only two non-woke movies are “Top Gun; Maverick” and this new one “Sound of Freedom” 

These movies are successful! The rest of Hollywood films are garbage woke propaganda

The financial data doesn't support your weak-kneed assertion :

https://www.imdb.com/list/ls059204437/

All kid's movies, so admittedly I have only seen a couple out of the top 25, but not a surprise.

I guess if you look for woke, you can find it anywhere, but the data suggests anyone complaining about woke garbage has been watching children's movies.

Bring in new blood and a stop to the millions of sequels/remakes and superhero movies.

This has been the business model since the early Eighties. Remember, they made 7 Police Academy movies.

A combination of risk-averse studio executives and the unavoidable fact that most people have quite infantile taste has brought us to the current creative desert.

As someone who loves music, I am aware that there is a huge amount of talent out there but the algorithms means most people don't hear / see them so are therefore not rewarded financially.

Spotify pays artists between $0.003 - $0.005 per stream on average.

Can you just imagine being the kind of person who considers this guy innocent ? Even if they're saying it to be contrary for attention ?

Like The Sun has an ounce of moral integrity. Sam Fox was 16 when she did her first topless shoot for them.

This is just Murdoch trying to get one over the BBC.

Kurds thrown under the bus by Sweden in return for NATO membership. Brutal.

I am sympathetic to your extreme left-wing take on topics here Alfie but unfortunately the more extreme left-wing often go full circle and end up sharing a toilet cubicle with the extreme right-wing.

In this situation, both the Kurds and an international agreement on the Armenian Genocide are deeply regrettable collateral from the greater threat.

You have to think it over more carefully. That’s all.

And where has this thinking taken you ? Ignoring the Fire Dept. because they fan the flames of alarm ?

Ignoring the Police Dept. because they are protecting themselves ?

It's their job. That's why we pay them. They study stuff and show data. If you choose to ignore experts it says more about you than them.

How meta is the main photo ?

I would wager my house he wears yukata around town on a summer's Friday night.

We are literally witnessing the simultaneous suicidal downfall of all Western nations.

Your party sounds fun. Maybe I'll stick with the jocks.
