Kan inte släppa alla dessa dödade skolflickor och avsaknaden av fördömanden från omvärlden. Lägg till det att Agnes Wold med flera fakenews-skyller attacken på Iran. Och att vissa högerfolk hyllar Trump och Netanyahu som hjältar som befriar det iranska folket. Visst, de har säkert ädla motiv …

VICTOR MALM: Hur kan Kristersson acceptera Jomshof? Debatten om tonårsutvisningar påminner om Sverigedemokraternas natur. Victor Malm undrar vad borgerligheten egentligen håller på med.

Richard Jomshof kom med ett mycket aggressivt utspel mot min krönika i söndags. En kommentar om SD:s position i svensk politik.

"Ingen svensk kulturjournalist har det senaste kvartsseklet sagt något positivt om svensk film" är... en svag take även som svar på en -grov- generalisering.

Killen åkte till Stockholm, köpte en vit kaftan och en feez i en vanlig klädaffär i en förort, och åkte sedan till en offentlig lokal som vem som helst kan besöka.

Kvartal: Ge honom Guldspaden.

A giant loss: Robert Duvall is gone. An extraordinary artist who was fluent in every dialect of film acting, from ice-cold underplayer (The Godfather) to expert naturalist (Tender Mercies, The Apostle) to balls-to-the-wall maniac (Apocalypse Now). One of our all-timers. Plunge into that filmography.

STATEMENT FROM LUCIANA DUVALL

Yesterday we said goodbye to my beloved husband, cherished friend, and one of the greatest actors of our time. Bob passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by love and comfort.

To the world, he was an Academy Award-winning actor, a director, a storyteller. To me, he was simply everything. His passion for his craft was matched only by his deep love for characters, a great meal, and holding court. For each of his many roles, Bob gave everything to his characters and to the truth of the human spirit they represented. In doing so, he leaves something lasting and unforgettable to us all. Thank you for the years of support you showed Bob and for giving us this time and privacy to celebrate the memories he leaves behind.

There is a story here that deserves to be told in its entirety, just for its core literary depiction of what, exactly, Richard Dawkins is.

Jag tycker inte nödvändigtvis man måste bryta med alla som begått grova brott. Men. "Han kanske också var en mycket empatisk hebefil" är faktiskt inte det mest hållbara argument för att åka till en stenrik pedofils övergrepps-ö jag läst.

What the vultures dearly want is a public response, which then provides a public opening for an onslaught of venomous attacks, many from just publicity seekers or cranks of all sorts -- which are impossible to answer (how do you prove that you are not a neo-Nazi who wants to kill the Jews, or a rapist, or whatever charge comes along?). That's particularly true now with the hysteria that has developed about abuse of women, which has reached the point that even questioning a charge is a crime worse than murder. For virtually everyone who sees any of this, the reaction will be "where there's smoke there's fire, maybe raging fire" (whatever the facts, which few will even think of investigating).
In general, it's best I think not to react unless directly questioned, particularly in the current mood -- which, I presume, will fade away, even if not in time to prevent much torture and distress.

Retroactively pushing the narrative that a police brutality victim somehow deserved to die is one of the most disgusting traditions in American journalism

Bra fråga. Om TT har 0–5 är det ju enkelt att översätta (0:a = 1/6 i SvD, 5:a = 6/6 i SvD). Men om TT har 1–5 är det ju klurigare. Måste kolla upp.

Precis, SvD:s tv-sidor görs av TT. Så 6/6 har redaktionen inte satt. (Men 5/6 skulle jag lätt kunna ge den!)

Fullträff – finns ingen bättre serie just nu RECENSION. Den nya säsongen av ”Fallout” är häpnadsväckande intelligent, säregen och väldigt rolig. En serie som sjuder av liv och gnistrar av galenskap.

The Time magazine Person of the Year cover, "The Architects of AI," with heads misproportioned on bodies.

The Time magazine Person of the Year cover, "The Architects of AI," with heads misproportioned on bodies.

This...looks terrible? Is the magazine making some point about what AI still can't do, because otherwise, I don't get why you'd go out with something that looks like it was put together with safety scissors and Elmer's Glue.

Jag har följt det här ärendet lite från sidan, med inblick i Försäkringskassan och en god förståelse av hur myndigheten fungerar. Denna story är bland det mest hårresande jag sett. Läs granskningen!

bunch of (good) jokes about the Casablanca TV show from the 1980s, but worth remembering this is not the first time executives with no ideas have raided the vaults for content

Filminstitutets miss – varför inte stödja detta? RECENSION. Det finns en besynnerlig tjuskraft i metadramat ”Uppföljaren till Sommarregn” – en grynig nostalgifest som gör upp med romantiseringen av dåtiden.

Mycket sugen på att se ”Uppföljaren till Sommarregn”. SvD:s 5/6-recension här: www.svd.se/a/Gx117x/upp...

Elitisten är tillbaka igen – så blir du en | Andres Lokko KRÖNIKA. Generalister hyllas och kunskap avfärdas som elitism. Andres Lokko skriver ett försvarstal för den snobbanklagade smakdomaren.

”Varför skulle någon år 2025 ens vilja tituleras ”smakdomare” eller bli beskylld för att vara elitist när det varken är folkligt, festligt eller ekonomiskt försvarbart?”

En slags manual.
