I watched a documentary about ukiyo-e today, which deepened my admiration for this astonishing form of art. The dynamism of those waves is incredible. Utagawa Toyokuni taught great ukiyo-e masters such as Utagawa Kuniyoshi and Utagawa Hiroshige. (In Japanese, the name Utagawa comes second.)

Is America lost?

Is civilisation over?

Has Islamic jihad won?

These are the questions many of us ask as we stand in mute horror watching the destruction of civilisation and the infection of hatred spread by pro-Palestinian terror apologists.

If you were honestly more concerned with advocating for Palestinians than you are hating a specific group of people, you would be disavowing these actions the loudest. But instead all we hear is a deafening silence, and worse… When a minority group tells you there’s a problem with your movement, listen to us, don’t “but” and “if” our concerns. Don’t bring up one Jewish person or 12 who agree with you or are too afraid to tell you what they really feel. Because tokenism is racism.

How I love and miss listening to Mozart's exquisite violin concerti! A charming performance by Suna Kan.

Original composition: The 'Untitled' Song in B Flat Minor. Makes you think of someone sitting at the window, watching the rain outside. Composed on MuseScore.

It's high time for the West to wake up and stop the anti-civilisational plague of Islamic jihad from spreading.

The evil roots of Jihad

It spreads to destroy the western world!

Coming from Qatar, Iran and their various proxies, the only way to stop them, is for the western world to unite!

An absolute marvel of the kacho-e, or bird and flower design by Ohara Koson!

I believe that the vitality of Ohara Koson's paintings-- the way his animals and fish seem to leap off the page-- is achieved by the extremely economical way he used space. He left large segments of his canvas or blocks blank, thereby drawing the eye towards the animal or fish. He also juxtaposed angles and perspective for a more striking image. The effect is extraordinary.

That is genius! Kuniyoshi famously loved cats and weaved them into many of his works.

Kuniyoshi is famous for his excellence in design. Please pay attention to the kimono depicted in this picture. If you look closely, you can see that the cats are gathered together to form a skull pattern. “Kuniyoshi Moyau Cash Man with Tag Nozarashi Gosuke” by Utagawa Kuniyoshi (Collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston)

The vitality of Ohara Koson's nature paintings is incredible!

A lively song from the renowned medieval German poet, Neidhart von Reuental (ca. 1190- ca. 1237). Von Reuental belonged to the era of the Minnesaenger, singers singing about Minne, or love. Meie din liechte schin means May Your Light Shine.

Hamas' callousness towards children is yet more proof that their official 'death toll' in Gaza cannot be trusted. A "health ministry" that keeps silent when civilians are abducted, tortured, and murdered but suddenly becomes vocal about high death tolls once Israel retaliates is a fraudulent institution. It's time to stop parroting claims made by Hamas terrorists. Look at what they did, and compare it to what they say.

@justiceamberheard I've just read The Independent's piece, and while I don't always agree with this paper on other issues, Charlotte O'Sullivan asked challenging questions and did not, as Maïwenn is now claiming, misrepresent anything.

This interview has proved what others have said beforehand: 1)- that Johnny Depp lacks professionalism on set, especially by failing to turn up on time; 2)- that Johnny Depp cannot be relied upon day to day to accurately repeat his lines; 3)- that Johnny Depp does not put in the effort to rehearse prior to shooting; 4)- that Johnny Depp is unable to obey instructions, even going so far as to undermine the director's authority by producing an altered script; 5)- that Johnny Depp is extremely arrogant, demanding star treatment the entire time and becoming insulted when he doesn't get his way; 6)- that others are intimidated by or even scared of Johnny Depp, not necessarily because of violence, but because of his unpredictable behaviour.

In addition to this, Maïwenn confirmed what I already knew: that Johnny Depp's French simply isn't fluent enough to carry the lead role in a French-language movie. She admitted that his accent wasn't good enough, but that Depp hadn't taken the time to work with the dialect coach he was assigned.

In other words, Depp could have done a far better job in French, but chose not to. Consequently, Maïwenn cut his lines, though she was quick to emphasise that it happened with the French actors as well. I am personally not convinced. I had no trouble with the French of anyone else in the trailer, only that of Depp.

This explains Johnny Depp's wooden acting and lack of chemistry with Maïwenn in the trailer (I have not seen the film).

It's telling that even in Maïwenn's statement of clarification, she still admits that she argued repeatedly with Johnny Depp during filming. That's not a crime in and of itself; this has happened with many other actors and directors. But when we add to these arguments all the evidence of Johnny Depp's unprofessional and disrespectful conduct, those arguments speak volumes.

None of this information is new. American actress Amber Heard made the same claims, especially about Johnny Depp repeatedly showing up late to set and failing to rehearse his lines. Before her, Hollywood studios and directors made the same claims, again regarding how fed up they were that Depp couldn't show up on time. This cost studios dearly during the filming of later Pirates of the Caribbean movies.

Sure, there are other actors who behave like primadonnas, and even those who don't probably have moments they're not proud of. We certainly expect celebrities to live in a different world.

The problem with Johnny Depp is that the 2022 Virginia defamation trial sold him as a martyred soul who fell victim to career-destroying allegations of domestic abuse.

Now we see (yet again) that the only person who wrecked his career was Johnny Depp, and it wasn't because of domestic abuse allegations: it was because since at least 2014, he failed to show basic respect to his colleagues, failed to work hard, and failed to exercise self-discipline.

Maïwenn looks at me. “I have to be honest. It’s difficult to shoot with him... all the crew were scared because he has a different kind of humour and we didn’t know if he was going to be on time, or if he was going to be OK to say his lines... I mean, even if he was there on set, on time, the crew were afraid of him.” Nor has the situation improved. “There’s been no normal relationship since the shoot,” says Maïwenn. She shrugs. “Johnny for me is a huge genius but he’s in another world. I cannot communicate with him.”

once again depp proving that he is a truly piece of shit.
