The ongoing farce of Ezra Miller

Why does the actor still have such a hold on film executives?

Ezra Miller – Normal for Hollywood

If Warner Brothers’ expensive superhero film The Flash is released next summer — and does not follow the fate of this year’s Batgirl, which has been summarily canceled — it will be fascinating to watch what the publicity circus does with its leading man. Or, to be more exact, leading human, as its star Ezra Miller has dismissed conventional ideas of being pigeonholed as anything conventional. They declared in 2018 that, “Queer just means no, I don’t do that. I don’t identify as a man. I don’t identify as a woman. I barely identify as a human.”

NBC News: Research suggests monkeypox is spread by sex between men

There’s been a debate about how monkeypox is being transmitted since it first began making headlines in the US back in May.

But today, NBC News reports on some new evidence which suggests it’s not skin contact but sex between men which is the main way the virus is spreading.

I fear Islamic violence, but also Western cowardice

On September 26, 1988, the novel by the Anglo-Indian writer Salman Rushdie, “The Satanic Verses”, appeared at the Viking Penguin publishing house. Fifteen days later, the first death threats arrived.

In Bolton, UK, the book was burned in the square on December 2nd. On December 28th, package bomb threats arrived at the Viking Penguin offices.

The New Year passed without incident. Then 1989 changed everything. It was Valentine’s Day when Khomeini’s fatwa arrived from Iran: “I inform the proud people of Islam that the author of the
‘Satanic Verses’ who is against Islam, the Prophet and the Koran, and all those involved in its publication are sentenced to death ”.


There are many Hadi Matar’s who walk among us thanks to our malevolent immigration policy.
