Well-produced with solid performances but it is basically a sci-fi AI premise housed in a natural disaster setting. Difficult to buy into it.

Washington DC – President Trump has threatened to use domain expansion regarding the matter of Greenland. “Well, don’t need to use it on Greenland right now, that’s a bit dramatic,” said Trump, “but tariffs on European countries who want to get in our way is fine by me.” Among the eight countries are the UK, France, Germany and Sweden. “Look, it’s nothing lethal, tariffs is a simple and not-too-harsh technique, but it’s a guaranteed hit,” he added. The president, however, has

Los Angeles, CA – From those who brought us “ My First False Flag Government Building Storming ” back in 2021 is the first release of 2026: “My First Fatal Federal Agent Shooting”. The set comes with two high-quality ride-on cars. One of them has an electric motor and multiple bullet holes in the windscreen for the driver. There is also a BB gun for the ICE agent. The car is no ordinary ride-on car. The obnoxiously loud horn will sound continuously for at least a few minutes

The Limits of Papal Authority over the Liturgy  by Fr Chad Ripperger, first published in 2023, is a contribution (and response) to the recently renewed discussion of papal authority in regards to the liturgy—that is, whether the pope can change or suppress the rite. Ripperger points out the two extreme views: 1. the pope can do whatever he wants (short of changing the words of Consecration) or 2. the pope cannot change anything. Neither is correct and this book aims to “begin

Minneapolis, MN – After the fatal shooting of 37-year-old Renee Good by ICE agents, Minneapolis Public Schools have cancelled classes for the remainder of the week “out of an abundance of caution”. “We like being cautious, like putting tampons in boys’ toilets in case they need them,” said public school official Georgina Kantdrife, “so we thought we cancel school in case staff want to go protest ICE.” At least some Minnesotan students agree. “I think that’s a great idea,” sai

Washington DC – President Trump has issued Order 66. “I have ordered the withdrawal of the US from 66 international organizations and treaties, including 31 UN entities or whatever they’re called,” said Trump, “because they’re useless, just useless.” The decision has sparked outrage, with some labelling it as “short-sighted” and “foolish”. President Trump, however, is unfazed. “People call me a tyrant, can you believe that? I mean, it’s not like I’m wiping out the Jedi. I’m j

An essay by J. Sottosanti titled “ Dental Surgeon’s Observance of Teeth in the Image on the Shroud of Turin ” published on 1 September 2025 supports the view that the lower teeth are partially visible on the image of the Shroud of Turin. The paper is short at just over 1,500 words and is an easy read. Many have assessed the Shroud image to be anatomically correct. Whilst the STURP team did not comment specifically on the teeth in 1978, the opinion that teeth are visible on th

Nothing great but a solid series nonetheless. Decent writing, good performances and well-produced.

Sydney, Australia – After watching the US military operation in Venezuela in which Nicolás Maduro was swiftly captured, an Australian man is wondering when the US will conduct a similar raid in the country. “I know our crime rate is not that bad and cartels don’t operate overtly here but still, there are plenty of criminals and commies, especially in government, who need to be dealt with,” said the man. Others share a similar sentiment given Australia’s traditional alliance w

Nothing interesting despite the premise. Looks good enough but it just drags on and on. It’s just 26 tiresome episodes of a guy who is unable to be decisive, allowing things to be more complicated than they need to be.

San Francisco, CA – Green Day has denied being “a bit gay” for having three guitarists in their live performances. “We don’t have three guitarists,” said Billie Joe Armstrong. “We actually have six, they all play the exact four-chord riffs while the bass just doubles up on all that. And we aim to be more like lesbians rather than gay.” Armstrong also states that to make up for the lack of gayness when they only have three guitars on stage, he uses extra eyeliner and black nai

Caracas, Venezuela – Former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has won a free trip to the United States. “We’ve copped a lot of flak for shoving people back to places like Venezuela,” said US President Donald Trump, “and I don’t wanna be insensitive to that, which is why I’m giving Nicki here a free trip to our country. And new tracksuits too.” President Trump clarified that the trip is in the spirit of the new year and not because Maduro is a “commie cartel-kissing fat tub

Pope Leo XIII (b. 2 March 1810 – d. 20 July 1903), born Gioacchino Vincenzo Raffaele Luigi Pecci, began his pontificate on 20 February 1878. His papacy is the fourth longest in the history of the Church. He is known for having composed the Prayer to Archangel St Michael and for the encyclical “ Humanum Genus ” on freemasonry published on 20 April 1884. The encyclicals regarding freemasonry “ Inimica Vis ” and “ Custodi Di Quella Fede ” were published on 8 December 1892. Encyc

Similar style to Shin Godzilla (2016) but goes further with the satire and comedy. Nicely shot and edited.

Slice-of-life fantasy romance and coming-of-age story. Moderately arty, mostly looks great. Short and simple, but too simple.

Thomas Aquinas in 50 Pages: A Layman’s Quick Guide to Thomism  by Dr Taylor R. Marshall is pretty much what the title states it is. It is a text about the basics of how St Thomas Aquinas thought and what he taught. The text is organized into 12 sections, excluding the introductory note and endnotes (references). The last section before the endnotes is a helpful glossary. The main text is over fifty pages if one includes this but it is still a very short book. It is an excelle

Whilst it is not outright bad, it is simply too conventional, predictable and lacks intrigue. Mackie and, to a lesser extent, Ford carry the film.

Melbourne, Australia – Young Asians, mostly high school and university students from Southeast Asia, have banded together to protest against knife crime perpetrated by those of Middle Eastern descent. “It’s a disgrace,” said Hac Yu, a student in year 11. “There was a time when it was just Asians who carried knives or meat cleavers and actually whipped them out to use them on people. Now it’s all brown people.” Jon Lee, a commerce undergraduate student, agrees: “I remember a t

Starts a bit slow and the villains are too simplistic. Conclusion is too rushed but is overall not a bad thriller-drama with some effective tension.

Brussels, Belgium – The EU on Friday decided not to just take the frozen Russian assets and use them to fund Ukraine’s defense. Instead, it agreed to provide a €90-billion loan. “We were really hoping to just take Russia’s money,” said German Chancellor Friedrich Merz. “Let’s be honest, we’d already spent most of it on coke, washing machines, male strippers and coke. We needed to legitimize that theft and spending.” European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen had earlier v
