Palestinian statehood is a worthy aim, but I think it is wrong for Starmer to use it as a negotiating lever. Either there is a moral case for recognition or there is not, this is not a policy you pick up and drop like trade tariffs.

The Intern (2015) ⭐ 7.1 | Comedy, Drama 2h 1m | PG-13

THE INTERN (2015) www.imdb.com/title/tt2361... Sort of fun but having slept on it, I think De Niro’s character is too perfect — A Manic Pixie Dream Widdower. Would have preferred that he went on a learning/growing journey too.

Watching @vicderbyshire.bsky.social on @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social saying that she is ‘beholden’ to put the Israeli point of view, after hearing how the Gazans are being starved and corralled and shot. She looked sick, could barely get the words out.

The Whole Truth (2016) ⭐ 6.2 | Crime, Drama, Mystery 1h 33m | R

www.imdb.com/title/tt3503... THE WHOLE TRUTH (2016) Feels a bit ‘courtroom drama by numbers’ tbh, could have done with an additional plot beat or characters with greater depth.

Fountain of Youth (2025) ⭐ 5.7 | Action, Adventure, Fantasy 2h 5m | PG-13

m.imdb.com/title/tt2707... FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH (2025) Another heist film. It’s big budget and entirely unoriginal. It also seems pretty light on signature Guy Ritchie stuff.

www.imdb.com/title/tt2743... IDENTITY (2025) - A novel ideas for a mystery: the witness has facial blindness and so cannot identify the perpetrator. But this is drowned out by too many other elements and reams of exposition.

The Sixth Sense (1999) ⭐ 8.2 | Drama, Mystery, Thriller 1h 47m | PG-13

THE SIXTH SENSE (1999) m.imdb.com/title/tt0167... My young co-watchers guessed the ultimate solution to this film about halfway through. I attribute this to them having grown up in a ‘post SIXTH SENSE’ world where they are wise to the cinematic trickery that this film pioneered.

Watching a BBC report on anti-Hamas protests by Palestinians in Gaza. A crucial, under-discussed aspect of the crisis there. The collective punishment of Palestinians is justified and accepted because it is assumed they are all Hamas supporters, which is just untrue.

This is hardly ‘cancel culture’ so much as an outright violation of the First Amendment. But worth bookmarking to remind ourselves of right wing hypocrisy when it comes to complaining about ‘woke’ infringements on personal liberty bsky.app/profile/prem...
