Bill Burr Destroys His Reputation

 

Bill Burr’s appearance at the Riyadh Comedy Festival has stirred a storm of debate, with many questioning whether a show in Saudi Arabia can ever be just about laughs. The festival, backed by the Saudi government, promised a new era of entertainment, but critics see it as an attempt to polish the country’s image while avoiding deeper issues like censorship and human rights. Reports suggest comedians were restricted from joking about religion, politics, or the royal family, which only added to the controversy.

Burr has defended the gig, calling it one of his best experiences and saying the Saudi audience was no different from any other crowd he’s performed for. He’s argued that connecting through comedy can bridge cultures and that avoiding such places only keeps people divided. Still, the backlash highlights a bigger question hanging over global entertainment: where’s the line between cultural exchange and complicity?

The Streaming War Is Over. Piracy Won.

 

Back in 2020, people thought piracy was finished. By 2024, it had returned stronger than ever. The big streaming platforms like Netflix, Disney+, and HBO Max made one major mistake: they turned against their own users.

This shift came from rising prices, restrictions on sharing passwords, and entire shows disappearing from libraries. Viewers grew frustrated and started turning back to piracy, sparking a surge that’s now worth over $113 billion.

A new video explores how the golden age of streaming collapsed, why audiences lost trust, and what this growing wave of piracy means for the future of digital entertainment.

Allentown City Worker Accused of Faking Noose Incident - BLM Outraged

 

An Allentown City Hall employee, LaTarsha Brown, sparked outrage earlier this year when she claimed to have discovered a noose on her desk. The incident drew national attention, with the FBI and local police launching a full investigation amid widespread concern that it was a racially motivated hate crime. City officials condemned the act at the time, and protests quickly followed. But as the investigation went on, forensic testing began to tell a different story. DNA evidence recovered from the noose reportedly matched Brown herself, with no trace of anyone else’s involvement.

Prosecutors later charged Brown with making false reports and fabricating evidence, suggesting she had staged the incident. She eventually admitted to placing the noose, though the reasons remain unclear. Brown avoided a formal conviction by entering Pennsylvania’s Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition programme, which allows first-time offenders to clear their record after meeting certain conditions. She was ordered to pay nearly two thousand dollars to cover the costs of DNA testing and has since left her position with the city. The case, which began as a symbol of racial hostility, has since shifted into a cautionary tale about truth, perception and how quickly public outrage can take shape.

Paul Joseph Watson on Big Brother TV Slop

 

Big Brother is a long-running UK reality TV series where a group of contestants live together in a specially designed house, completely cut off from the outside world, while being filmed around the clock. The show mixes social experiment and competition, as housemates form alliances, clash over daily routines, and face weekly nominations that lead to public votes deciding who leaves. Over the years it’s shifted between playful entertainment and genuine psychological drama, with viewers drawn to the mix of ordinary people, confinement, and constant surveillance to some kind of weird struggle session, whereby people are humiliated for thoughtcrimes.

COMPETITION: Win The Brokenwood Mysteries Series 11 on DVD

Return to Brokenwood with Neill Rea and Fern Sutherland for the 11th instalment of The Brokenwood Mysteries, New Zealand’s deadliest drama where menacing murders, mysteries and intrigue lurk around every corner.

 

Acorn Media International is delighted to announce The Brokenwood Mysteries Series 11 is set for its DVD and digital release on 6 October

And to celebrate we have a copy on DVD to give away!

Synopsis:

Many moons ago, Detective Mike Shepherd (Neill Rea – Go Girls, The Warrior’s Way) arrived in the seemingly tranquil, rustic town of Brokenwood, in his classic car with a country music collection to die for – and never left.  Now, series 11 takes us back to the scenic splendour of small-town life where a web of deception, greed and dark secrets hides in the shadows. 

 

The new series joins Brokenwood’s best and brightest detectives once again as Mike Shepherd (Rea), Kristin Sims (Fern Sutherland – The Almighty Johnsons, A Mistake) and Daniel Chalmers (Jarod Rawiri – Boy, Shortland Street) tackle their most perplexing cases yet. Along with eccentric pathologist Gina Kadinksy (Cristina Ionda – Out of Season, Filthy Rich), they use all manner of unconventional methods to solve the town’s most macabre mysteries with warmth, camaraderie and deadpan humour. 

 

The gripping new series cracks open a new casebook of crimes continuing to brand Brokenwood as New Zealand’s most murderous town. From an ’80s rock star with a dead groupie on his conscience, to an explosive school quiz night, with a fatal séance, a killer chandelier and a science teacher’s ziplining misadventure in the mix. Even Santa Claus makes an appearance as oddball Frodo’s (Karl Willetts – The Power of the Dog, Evil Dead) infamous family experiences a lethal case of stolen identity. 

 

Cosy up with The Brokenwood Mysteries this October for another round of curiously heinous crimes, small-town secrets and thrilling twists and turns, it would be a crime to miss it.

Mark Dice on the James Comey Indictment

Former FBI Director James Comey was indicted in September 2025 by a federal grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia on two charges: making a false statement to Congress and obstruction of a congressional proceeding. The indictment centres on his September 2020 testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee, where prosecutors allege he denied authorising an FBI employee to act as an anonymous source for the media, a claim they say was untrue. The obstruction count relates to the same incident and accuses him of impeding the committee’s investigation. If convicted, the charges carry potential prison sentences of up to five years each under federal law.
