The Sting
@TheStingisBack12h
Prolific character actor Richard Riehle has passed away. People will (rightly) mention Office Space and Casino, but he logged 440 credits; he was an ultimate “I know that guy” actor. He even set up all-timers, like this Tommy Lee Jones moment in The Fugitive.

Fascinated to see how much this goes up on re-release in a few weeks. Critics really didn't like THE DEVILS on release.

Many on the right dismiss the Sally Rooney case as a free speech issue because she “broke the law by supporting/funding Palestine Action, a proscribed group”. Funny the same argument was not made in relation to, say, Lucy Connolly who also “broke the law” (and pleaded guilty). 1/

Here’s the new Citroen 2CV. And - they say - the production car will look even better. On sale in 2028 for €15,000 (£13,000)

Same could be said for some Irish 'elites'
Rafael Mena Illustration@RafaelmenaIOct 6
Its basically true that Latin American "elite" subconsciously regret the independence movements of the 18c. which is why they endlessly yearn for the position they've always been most comfortable as: terminally incompetent and parasitic middle management to a foreign power.

Persistently undermining the small business model, while building public services on transient revenue from global (and highly mobile) corporations doesn't appear like a very sensible economic strategy.

one great tragedy of the sci-fi/fantasy takeover of all pulp fiction is that it encourages people to consume a diet of entirely fictional proper nouns. They have nowhere to learn about history or real world religion or mythology, it's not present in books at all

no, what men read is 40k and SpaceBattles Forum battles. it used to be Tom Clancy wrote those books but that niche has since vanished. There is room for you if you want to be the next Tom Clancy and write respectful dark woke CIA agents saving the world

My abiding memory of Jeffrey Archer is this incredibly biased summing up from the judge in his libel trial who basically swayed the jury cos he clearly fancied Archer's wife

Weird rightists have gone straight past hating on post-1965 immigrants to kicking at the Ellis Island wave and the Irish, too. Next stop: complaining about the damn Germans and their beer and oompah music.

Italians didn't "help build this country" Like the Irish, they largely immigrated to already existing communities, where they leveraged ethnically organized crime and corruption to displace the heritage descendants of the earlier settlers
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Italian and Irish immigrants provided essential unskilled labor for constructing US railroads, canals, public works, subways and urban infrastructure during rapid national expansion from the 1880s-1920s, not primarily through organized crime in static communities. folkstreams.net/contexts/libra… nps.gov/gosp/learn/his… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_A…

This really is a headline from another era. You don't get takes like this that often anymore and our culture is worse for it.

Can’t stand the iejits who say ‘the IRA worked with the Nazis’ as an insult, thinking they represented the Irish? They barely had 2k members and were outlawed and imprisoned by the state There were 50k in the British Union of Fascists. I think we can safely say neither group represented the majority Move on from collective blame and inaccurate national stereotyping
Ducky@veryfathomerSep 18
Replying to @itsjohncrotty
The IRA supported the Nazis.
