Is Pedro Pascal, one of the most vocal progressive celebrities, the victim of a social media smear campaign, and if so, why? Pascal, who has criticized Hollywood's "passivity" over Gaza, spoken out in support of trans rights and called JK Rowling a "heinous loser," is facing viral accusations on X and on some news websites that he has been groping women. Some of these rumors are based on faked videos and an interview that he never gave, despite it being cited by Google's AI summaries. "The basis of the allegations against Pascal isn’t true, and none of the women he’s been accused of groping have said so themselves," writes Kat Tenbarge, for her Spitfire News newsletter. "What’s happening to Pascal across these viral posts is a smear campaign, one spearheaded by bigots against a celebrity whose inclusive stance directly challenges their beliefs." Here's more.

A friend sent us a postcard from Dildo, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. Which is great for all kinds of reasons, but I want to share the Dildo cancellation mark, which is collectible in itself:

Betar USA, the far-right pro-Israel group with connections in the #Trump administration, making it official by stating that "the real enemies of the nationalist state of Israel are the rootless cosmopolitan #progressive#Hollywood Jews."

Reinventing antisemitism from first principles.

These are the #ISIS of Judaism.

Tweet from Betar USA: "Because my son, with his innocent eyes, asks me: “Dad, why is Superman against Israel? Isn’t he Jewish?” So let's talk about hypocrisy. About how the progressive Jewish studio owners, who hate Israel, hide behind this movie, sitting in their luxurious homes in California, feeling safe in their ivory towers. Aside from having a bar mitzvah for their dog, they have no connection to Judaism and choose to disconnect from the homeland that was founded on the ruins of the people who behaved like them in Europe in the 1930s. It will come back to them like a boomerang. No matter how much they decorate their houses for Christmas, they will pay the price because history always repeats itself. They are turning Israelis into the "bad guys," the Palestinians into the "good guys," and missiles and terrorism into the "struggle of freedom fighters." This is their coffin nail as they align with the politically correct studios of Walt Disney. So yes, I am offended. I am angry. I am disgusted. They are cowards. And I will tell you here, clearly: The liberal Jews in America are the main contributors to anti-Semitism in the U.S. They, and the push for progressivism in America, the takeover of communication and financial power, and the use of tools to brainwash our children in order to spread your distorted nonsense."

Tweet from Betar USA: I'm a man boiling with rage. Yesterday, I went with my son to watch the new Superman movie. Superman! The ultimate superhero, a character created by two Jewish immigrants, Jerry Siegel & Joe Shuster, in the 1930s. The character is supposed to represent hope, justice & light. The actor playing Superman? Jewish. The studios? Owned by Jews. Even character of Superman himself, symbolically & historically, is considered to have Jewish roots. A refugee sent from crisis & war to save a better world, created to empower the Jews who returned from the Holocaust. Ahat did the pathetic progressives in Hollywood do? They trampled all over this. Instead of presenting a character who defends the weak & fights for justice, they turned it into a disgusting political caricature, where Israel (under a different name) is portrayed as a fascist state, a warmonger, & a close ally of the U.S., which supplies advanced weaponry to fight "poor & miserable farmers (the good Palestinians) with pitchforks & stones. And Superman? He comes to save them from bloodthirsty Israel This is literally a film of incitement against us I sat there, next to my son, watching how the film had 1 purpose: to brainwash the world. They took the ultimate childhood hero, who was supposed to represent absolute good & turned him into a 1 sided, distorted, superficial propaganda tool. They ruined my childhood, they ruined the experience 4 me, but not only for4 me, they ruined it 4 the next generation

Today I learned that Liam Neeson has been convinced to apply his "particular shet of shkills" to a reboot of The Naked Gun. I loved the original, and I enjoyed the original Taken too. But I have no interest in seeing this.

Hollywood has its mouth so tightly clamped to its own cloaca now, that there's almost no way for anything original to squeeze in. Around the endless franchise milking of old favourites, sequels, prequels, reboots (hard and soft), etc.
