From the movies community on Reddit: Hello /r/movies, I'm Benedict Cumberbatch. Ask me anything! Explore this post and more from the movies community

Benedict Cumberbatch, of BBC Sherlock fame, was answering fan questions on Reddit today! 🎬 A nice surprise. What wasn't surprising was that the thread was so popular (28.2k upvotes). He came across very genuine, definitely worth reading. Engagement there was off the charts, too, with 10.7k comments.

Pievienojos pulciņam, uzliku savu autogrāfu.

Nu jau var papriecāties, ir smukāks tas cipars.

"Tādējādi tiktu nodrošināts, ka šis jautājums, kas skar cilvēktiesības un valsts reputāciju, tiek izvērtēts rūpīgi, demokrātiski un ar cieņu pret sabiedrības vairākuma vērtībām. Mēs aicinām prezidentu izmantot Satversmes 71. pantu, kas paredz viņa tiesības neizsludināt Saeimas pieņemtu likumu [..]."

"Mēs vēlamies, lai Valsts prezidents @edgarsrinkevics.bsky.social izmantotu savas Satversmes 71. pantā noteiktās tiesības – neizsludinātu Saeimas pieņemto likumu par Latvijas izstāšanos no Stambulas konvencijas un nodotu to otrreizējai caurlūkošanai Saeimai vai tautas nobalsošanai."

Only in Peterborough could you pass a "refugees welcome, anti-far right, your enemy doesn't arrive in small boats – he arrives by private jet" protest, then be shoved a "vote Reform, vote Farage" leaflet fifty metres further down. Leaflet met the bin with great prejudice.

The billionaires control the narrative :(

The commentary is 🔥 🤭

The lowest of the low. Trigger-happy US military kill innocent fishermen without a shred of evidence of drug trafficking. Read this. Lawless, rage-inducing, sick.

These 'No Kings' protests should be held every day.

When your tie says more than your press release. Sick bastard.

Piekrītu, man tik ļoti patika, ka aizgāju uz kino divreiz, vispirms Anglijā, tad Latvijā. Abās reizēs kinozāle bija tukša (likās nereāli sēdēt vienai pašai Odeon IMAX zālē). Filma labāka, nekā cilvēki domā. Man jo īpaši patīk britu aktieris Deivids Hārbors, ļoti talantīgs, un te arī viņš bija super.

Make sure to select the country in your app profile! Next time they release statistics, Latvia should be on the map!! We can do this.

UNITED24 - Apps on Google Play Support Ukrainian defenders and get exclusive content from the units you help

Let's put 🇱🇻 on the map! At present, Latvia isn't even among the top twenty countries for donation activity; I'm sure we can do better than that. Let's go!

Go From Donor to a Real Frontline Ally UNITED24 app lets you join Ukraine’s drone forces right where it matters. Pick one of 5 drone units backing the frontline, fund it directly, and see your support hit the enemy where it hurts. It’s not...

Just discovered through a recent r/Ukraine post that it is now possible to donate directly to Ukrainian troops via their newly launched app 🇺🇦✨

I checked their official website, and it's confirmed legitimate.

I'm about to download it now myself, and just wanted to spread the word.

"The right to speak our minds and to disagree with each other is at the heart of what it means to be a free people," the Writers Guild of America wrote in a blistering statement. "It is not to be denied. Not by violence, not by the abuse of governmental power, nor by acts of corporate cowardice."

Jimmy Kimmel will return to TV after highly criticized suspension Late-night host reinstated after brief suspension related to comments on Maga and Charlie Kirk that Disney called ‘insensitive’

Well, well, well... 😄

Disney: "It's a decision we made because we felt some of the comments were ill-timed and thus insensitive. We've spent the last days having thoughtful conversations with Jimmy, and after those conversations, we reached the decision to return the show on Tuesday."

"Reports suggest Washington is planning to reduce security assistance to Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia, which share a border with Russia."

Rinkēvičs added: "Russia is doing just enough to make it seem like it is not going too far. But, knowing both the logic of thinking in Russia and the frequent incompetence at various levels, this [a conflict] could happen. The responsibility will lie with the Kremlin."

"Posting on Facebook, Latvia's president, Edgars Rinkēvičs, said there was a risk of "serious conflict" if Russia continued in the coming weeks to provoke Nato. European governments did not want a wider war but had no choice but to respond, he said."

The art reminds me of that botched Jesus fresco restoration that I'm too lazy to find and post 🤭 Same vibes.
