Truth

Donald Trump took to Truth Social in the early morning hours of Tuesday to opine on the state of his race to win back the White House this November. And while that’s not unusual, Trump decision to coin a new nickname for himself certainly is. The new name? Honest Don, if you can believe it.Trump started his tweet (or his Truth, in the parlance of his social media platform) by mentioning Dean Phillips, the Democratic challenger to President Joe Biden who had a less than impressive primary race before finally dropping out…

The youngest Republican woman ever elected to the Senate, and the first from Alabama, chose a long-sleeved green blouse for the biggest speech of her political career. The centerpiece was the crucifix pendant hanging from her necklace, which would occasionally flicker when Sen. Katie Britt shifted her weight. This wasn’t by accident: What better way to communicate trustworthiness to evangelical voters than a cross?Britt’s melodramatic delivery of the State of the Union rebuttal last week was widely panned on social media…

And it’s unfortunate timing for the former president. He was right in the middle of furiously tweeting (or Truth-ing, to use the site’s tortured parlance) about President Joe Biden’s State of the Union speech.Trump sent a flurry…

Matt Terry rose to fame in 2016 when he won ‘The X-Factor’ and he scored a Top 3 hit with the Ed Sheeran-penned ‘When Christmas Comes Around’. Following the release of debut album ‘Trouble’ in 2017, Terry parted ways with label home Syco and RCA, and took a step back from the spotlight. After spending time writing for other artists, Terry made a welcome return to music in 2023 with ‘You Don’t Know Nothing‘ and more recently he released the soulful ballad ‘Ghost of Me‘. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_64_4-2Wx4…

Cassandra Nova may be one of the most powerful villains that the X-Men have ever faced, but ironically, her mutant status has long been a hot topic of discussion. For many, a mutant any a person who is born with extraordinary abilities, and Nova certainly qualifies considering her incredible psychic powers. But by strict definition, a mutant is defined by their genetic code and the existence of the so-called "X-gene."

On the wall of an unassuming second- floor room in Newcastle University sits a map, Blu-Tacked, unframed. At first glance it looks like any other map of China. But on closer inspection, the cities labelled on the map are not just the major urban centres. They are the places that have hosted important film festivals over the years, the details of which are annotated in colour-coded text.Covering the final years of the so-called golden era of the scene, the map shows dozens of film festivals that used to be active across…

It takes some guts for any sci-fi film – especially a no-budget one – to pick that title, and to include some eerie wisps of Ligeti-like sounds to get the cosmic hairs rising on the back of your neck. When Monolith isn’t referencing 2001: A Space Odyssey, it also bears some resemblance to Denis Villeneuve’s Arrival, with its alien artefacts turning out to be filled with indecipherable glyphs when scanned. But Matt Vesely’s impressive debut ably stakes out its own territory, not least in the vast distances covered by a…
