I do not believe that anything I say about what is happening in Gaza will affect Israeli or American policy in that conflict. But I want to be on record so that when historians look back on this moral calamity, they will see that some Americans were on the right side of history.

What Israel is doing in Gaza to the Palestinian civilian population – with the support of the Biden administration – is a crime against humanity that serves no meaningful military purpose. As J-Street, an important organization in the Israel lobby, puts it, “The scope of the unfolding humanitarian disaster and civilian casualties is nearly unfathomable.”

Tom Hiddleston, Jenna Coleman, Sheila Atim and David Tennant are among the stars celebrating London’s stage talent at the 67th Evening Standard Theatre Awards on Sunday.

They will be at the event at Claridge’s joining Tuppence Middleton, Omari Douglas, Layton Williams, Hayley Atwell, Jake Shears and his Cabaret co-star Rebecca Lucy Taylor, AKA Self Esteem, among others, to hand out awards.

The event, hosted by the newspaper’s proprietor Lord Lebedev with the help of Ian McKellen, is presented by Susan Wokoma. The writer and actor, who played Edith in the Enola Holmes films and whose stage work includes appearances at the Bush, the National and the Royal Court, is about to start work on Three Weeks which she will direct and star in.

She said: “Theatre is always a labour of love and London stages have faced their fair share of difficulties in the last few years. So I think it’s paramount we celebrate excellence while we can.”

Among the awards presented on the night are best play, best actor and the Milton Shulman Award for best director which is named after the Standard’s late theatre critic. Other awards include the Natasha Richardson Award for best actress in association with Mithridate and the Charles Wintour Award for most promising playwright — named in honour of the paper’s editor for many years.

Also awarded on the night is the Lebedev Award, which is given to an individual or institution for lifetime achievement or a specific critically-acclaimed piece of work or series as well as two special Editor’s Awards.

Among those in the running are Paul Mescal, shortlisted for best actor for his role in A Streetcar Named Desire, with his co-stars Anjana Vasan and Patsy Ferran up for best actress. Mescal is up against Andrew Scott, who won in 2019 and is shortlisted for Vanya, as well as Paapa Essiedu for The Effect, and Mark Gatiss for The Motive and the Cue. The shortlist for best actress is completed by Rachael Stirling for Private Lives and Sophie Okonedo for Medea.

Also in the running is Nicole Scherzinger for Sunset Boulevard. She is nominated for best musical performance along with Charlie Stemp in Crazy For You, Kyle Ramar Freeman in A Strange Loop and Marisha Wallace in Guys & Dolls.

James Graham’s Dear England is shortlisted for best play alongside Jack Thorne’s The Motive and the Cue, Sam Holcroft’s A Mirror and Ryan Calais Cameron’s Retrogade.

What was the opinion of the British people at that time when Henry executed Catherine Howard?

✨ terfs/zionists fuck off ✨

well, there wasn’t a major reaction to her death.

according to gareth russell, katherine “had already passed beyond relevance” almost immediately after her death, but i think it’s more reasonable to acknowledge that katherine had been in limbo for months leading up to this point. her fall in november had already prompted assumptions that she was to be executed, so by the point of her death i think people had already reacted to and processed it. rumours were clearly swirling in reaction to her fall, after all. it seems like people were confused as to the charges, and there was perhaps an assumption that she was innocent, and that she was unlikely to die. the spanish chronicle, for example, claimed that “the king would have liked to save the queen and behead culpeper”, which is perhaps an indication of popular gossip rather than factual accuracy. she also was never as controversial or as unpopular as anne boleyn had been, so her death could be compartmentalised as henry’s readiness to do away with those who he turned on… and in that case, katherine’s death may not have been as shocking?

several pieces of literature about women and were printed in 1541-1542, which were published by possibly a reaction to katherine’s charges of adultery. perhaps the most interesting is david clapham’s english translation of agrippa’s ‘a treatise of the nobilities and excellencye of woman kynde’, printed by the king’s own printer, wherein it is claimed that a bad husband makes a bad wife (“ill wives never chance, but to ill husbands […] their husband's vices make them naught”). there’s definitely something to be said about the inclusion of this statement: “wherefore the man taken in adultery, loseth his head: but the woman adulterer is put into a monastery” — but if henry ever read it, his reaction is unknown. more directly a response to katherine’s execution was henry morley’s translation of ‘de claris mulieribus’, which altered the tale of iphigenia to dissociate himself from katherine and jane — his daughter’s — execution. morley was a professional sycophant and in his translation “morley explicitly uses boccaccio’s text to underline his approval of Henry’s action in executing his wife and morley’s daughter for the (apparently) political good of the realm” (shulman).

beyond that, we have little in the way of recorded reactions. the public/commons simply did not have reliable channels to communicate their reactions, and certainly not in such a manner that would be recorded for posterity. perhaps we should look to ottwell’s eyewitness account of her death, where he praises katherine and jane’s dignity in death — “they made the most godly and christians’ end that ever was heard tell of (i think) since the world’s creation”. katherine was not unpopular, and it seems like people were sympathetic towards her even if there was no outrage.

Anne Meara and Jerry Stiller in A Fish in the Bathtub (Joan Micklin Silver, 1998)

Cast: Jerry Stiller, Anne Meara, Mark Ruffalo, Jane Adams, Missy Yager, Paul Benedict, Doris Roberts, Louis Zorich, Phyllis Newman, Val Avery, Bob Dishy, Pamela Gray. Screenplay: John Silverstein, David Chudnovsky, Raphael D. Silver. Cinematography: Daniel Shulman. Production designer: Deana Sidney. Film editor: Meg Reticker. Music: John Hill. 

Joan Micklin Silver's A Fish in the Bathtub has some funny lines, but an overall shrillness makes it not as much fun as it wants to be. The scene in which Sam (Jerry Stiller) yells "Shut up!" repeatedly at Molly (Anne Meara), his wife of 40 years, at a card party where their closest friends are gathered is a touch too painful. The rest of the film is a slow and sometimes awkward process of reconciliation after Molly decides she's put up with too much -- including the large carp that Sam has inexplicably brought home and keeps in the spare bath -- and moves in with their son, Joel (Mark Ruffalo), and his wife, Sharon (Missy Yager). Joel and Sharon have  been having their problems, too: She wants another child and he's not so sure, plus, in an unnecessary subplot, he's indulging in a flirtation with one of his real estate clients. The actors are all pros, and they do what they can with the material, but the movie feels like an overextended TV sitcom episode.

Wakefield Poole

Walter Wakefield Poole III (24 de fevereiro de 1936 - 27 de outubro de 2021) foi um dançarino, coreógrafo, diretor teatral e diretor de cinema pioneiro na indústria da pornografia gay durante as décadas de 1970 e 1980. 

Biografia]

Poole nasceu em Salisbury, Carolina do Norte , e foi criado lá e em Jacksonville, Flórida , para onde sua família se mudou mais tarde. 

Ele se juntou ao Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo em 1957 e mais tarde se tornou dançarino, coreógrafo e diretor na televisão e na Broadway. De 1964 a 1968, Poole foi casado com Nancy Van Rijn, uma artista e coreógrafa da Broadway. 

No final da década de 1960, Poole e seu amante Peter Schneckenburger (mais tarde conhecido como Peter Fisk, estrela de Boys in the Sand ) começaram a experimentar filmes e espetáculos multimídia, culminando em uma exposição multimídia para o artista de cartazes da Broadway, David Edward Byrd, na Triton Gallery, em Nova York. Poole fez sua estreia na direção cinematográfica com Boys in the Sand (1971).

Ele e o produtor de Boys in the Sand, Marvin Shulman, fizeram outro filme no ano seguinte, intitulado Bijou , estrelado por Bill Harrison. Tendo observado o sucesso de Deep Throat, a ideia inicial de Poole era fazer um filme pornô heterossexual em que uma modelo feminina frequenta um clube de sexo anônimo. Mas, seguindo a Comissão de Obscenidade e Pornografia, criada pelo presidente Lyndon B. Johnson e continuada por Richard Nixon , ele decidiu " permanecer neste pequeno gênero" de pornografia gay. No lugar da modelo feminina, o filme retrata um trabalhador da construção civil, que descobre um convite intrigante para um clube na bolsa de uma vítima de atropelamento.

Em seguida, Poole e Shulman tentaram fazer um filme crossover, Wakefield Poole's Bible , um trio de histórias do Antigo Testamento com foco em figuras bíblicas femininas e estrelado por Georgina Spelvin como uma Bate-Seba cômica . O filme não teve sucesso com o público, embora tenha sido bem recebido pelos poucos críticos que o assistiram. Vários filmes de Poole estrelaram Casey Donovan , uma das estrelas pornô mais conhecidas de sua época. Um deles, Moving! (1974) desafiou o que Poole, em uma entrevista de 1978, chamou de "valores da classe média" da "vasta maioria dos gays" com suas longas e gráficas cenas de fisting, que Poole considerou importantes como "uma interpretação da realidade relacionada de homem para homem". 

Em meados da década de 1970, Poole, Peter Fisk e Paul Hatlestad eram donos de uma galeria de arte e loja de presentes em São Francisco chamada Hot Flash of America. 

Poole disse que parou de fazer filmes por causa da " situação da AIDS . Perdi minha base de fãs para a AIDS". Na mesma entrevista, Poole disse que era um grande usuário de cocaína e que "a cocaína salvou minha vida", porque o tornou incapaz de fazer sexo. Após sua carreira cinematográfica, ele estudou no Instituto Culinário Francês e trabalhou na indústria de serviços de alimentação até se aposentar em Jacksonville.

Poole aparece como ele mesmo nos documentários Ballets Russes , That Man: Peter Berlin e Where Ocean Meets Sky . Em 2000, a Alyson Books publicou sua autobiografia Dirty Poole: the Autobiography of a Gay Porn Pioneer , que foi reimpressa com um novo posfácio pela Lethe Press em 2011.

Um documentário baseado na autobiografia, intitulado I Always Said Yes: The Many Lives of Wakefield Poole , foi dirigido e produzido por Jim Tushinski (diretor de That Man: Peter Berlin ) em 2013. 

Poole morreu em uma casa de repouso em Jacksonville em 27 de outubro de 2021, aos 85 anos.
