In almost every interview, German journalists ask Söring what it was like to finally meet up with his family in Germany after being released from prison. They may also ask how often his family flew to Virginia to visit him, and what they did to help him broadcast his innocence story. Söring must then explain why he has had no contact with his family since 2001.
I met Mike Cernovich a few years ago when I was making a documentary based on Angela Nagle’s book, Kill All Normies. Back then I had the same impression of him that you likely did, and that you probably still do: I thought he was a Trump-loving, men’s rights-touting, right wing troll.
But after chatting with him, I liked him anyway. Mike was thoughtful, honest, candid, reasonable, self-disparaging, and fair-minded. I’d read the New Yorker profile of him.
I don’t know the best word for Jacob L. Wright’s new book, Why the Bible Began: An Alternative History of Scripture and Its Origins. Here are some expressions for this book:
A history of Israel (along with a lot of history about more than Israel)
An exposition of salient ideas in the Bible
A sketch of important figures in the Bible
An introduction to the historical-critical method
The historical-critical method in a new key
Five Night’s At Freddy’s creator Scott Cawthon announced his retirement yesterday after his financial donations to Republican politicians—and Tulsi Gabbard—were revealed. Deplorable heavyweights Cawthon donated to include Donald “King Cheeto” Trump, Mitch “Turtle Man” McConnell and Kevin “Whodat?” McCarthy. The list of horrors goes on and on.
Cawthon done goofed, my droogies. He committed one of the gravest, most diabolical sins in the known universe: Voting Republican as an indie video game developer.
“You don't remember how bad it was, Charlie, the poverty, all the crime. This night saved our country."
— “The Purge.”
The sixth movie in the low-budget (but high grossing) “Purge” movie series is coming out on July 2 and for more than eight years this Blumhouse horror franchise has explored the idea of: “What if for night all crime was legal?”
The publicized idea is that everyone would release their aggression and anger and all crime would be centralized to one 12-hour period.
