I missed the first half of "Gladiator II" when it was shown on a Swedish cable channel just now, but I did see the second half. The movie seems to be both absurd, interesting and quite dramatic at the same time. Just as I expected. I suppose this means I missed the mutants! Or were they baboons? OK, so I watched that stuff on YouTube instead...
Couldn´t help thinking that the ending (when the warring multi-ethnic armies of Rome unite) is a symbol for the United States, color blind version. But surely the demise of the scheming Macrinus was something of an anticlimax? Note also the "conservative" tendency with the crooks being effiminate, weak, mentally deranged, and (ahem) a Black freedman. By contrast, the heroes are White, strong, martial and idealistic. Didn´t know they still made movies like this in 2024.
That being said, I suppose I now have to wait until the next time a cable network shows this extravaganza...

Some information on Pope Leo´s voting habits before he became pope. It turns out he has voted in both GOP and Dem primary elections in Chicago. He has also cast a ballot in many federal elections. What candidates he supported is, alas, unknown...but nobody thinks he ever endorsed Trump!
Leo XIV has become the first pope in history to vote in a US election
This sounds very "Boomer", to be honest, but has been retrofitted for the Internet age. I mean, Annunaki and 3I/ATLAS?! Dude. For a similar "Native prophecy", see old blog post linked below! Why do people believe this stuff?
This week´s Friday goddess is a bit non-traditional. Shaktas, come and worship Jack, the Great Pumpkin! Happy Halloween, kids.

Vänsterpartiet kanske räknade med fyra statsministeromröstningar om Magdalena Andersson, så de kunde LARP-a farliga revolutionärer i några månader för att hålla medlemsbasen varm. Men så blir det nu inte. Efter att den där centertanten fallit på tisdag, kommer Ulf Kristersson falla också om typ två veckor. Och då är det dags för Magda igen. I den fjärde och avgörande omröstningen.
Slutspelat, med andra ord. Så V kommer inte att få det stora nöjet att acceptera NATO och DCA från poster på socialdepartementet. Det får acceptera det från dörrmattan istället. Och om de verkligen tvingar fram ett nyval, kommer de betraktas som någonting katten släpat in för lång tid framåt...
