(ROME) — Italian filmmaker Bernardo Bertolucci, who won Oscars with “The Last Emperor” and whose erotic drama “Last Tango in Paris” enthralled and shocked the world, died Monday. He was 77. Bertolucci’s press office, Punto e Virgola, confirmed the death in an email to The Associated Press. Italy’s state-run RAI said Bertolucci died at his home in Rome, surrounded by family. “He will be remembered among the greatest in Italian and world film,” the Venice Film Festival, which awarded Bertolucci a lifetime achievement award in 2007, said in a statement. Bertolucci’s movies often explored the sexual relations among characters stuck in a psychological crisis, as in “Last Tango,” which was banned in his own Italy for over a decade.

  • Proud Boys Leader's Mom A Real Prize, Too
    The Daily Dot, Friday - 12/27/2024 - 01:48 PM

    Enrique Tarrio was the Proud Boy leader who was convicted of seditious conspiracy in relation to the January 6 insurrection and was given the longest sentence yet of 22 years in prison. His mother, Zuny Tarrio, spoke out and proved herself to be as rotted as her son: She believes that The Orange Felon should pardon her son because she and her family have suffered long enough and that her son did nothing wrong.

  • MAGA Civil War: The Elon Empire Strikes Back
    The Daily Dot, Friday - 12/27/2024 - 01:46 PM

    In a previous post, I wrote that the MAGA civil war had broken out even before Musk-puppet Trump puts his p***y-grabbing hand on the Bible and pretends to uphold the Constitution for a second time. Now, it’s raging. The conflict was ignited when OG MAGA and Trump gal pal Laura Loomer raged against his naming of Indian-born Sriram Krishnan as senior policy adviser on AI.

    The Daily Dot, Friday - 12/27/2024 - 12:43 PM

    I have never read a more sanctimonious and despicable piece of shite than Vivek Ramaswamy's tirade against the American family and worker. MAGA hates what America stands for and the people in it who refuse to declare America is a Christian Nationalist society. They will do or say anything to put Trump on a pedestal and crap on everyone else. It is a long and ignorant screed, but that's Ramaswamy's shtick.

  • Denmark Bolsters Greenland's Defense After Trump's Threats
    The Daily Dot, Friday - 12/27/2024 - 12:38 PM

    If you are still keeping track at home, threats against Canada, Panama, Mexico, and Greenland have occurred in the past week. If Trump had a horse he'd likely make it a Senator. Source: BBC The Danish government has announced a huge boost in defense spending for Greenland, hours after US President-elect Donald Trump repeated his desire to purchase the Arctic territory. Danish Defence Minister Troels Lund Poulsen said the package was a "double-digit billion amount" in krone, or at least $1.5bn (£1.2bn). He described the timing of the announcement as an "irony of fate".

    The soulmates in hypocrisy have been together for many years. When their relationship was made public, in June, 2020, they had already been seeing each other secretively for years. According to People, Ainsley Earhardt was already renting a home near Sean Hannity’s then-home and using his studio for her Fox & Friends broadcasts.

  • Tom Homan Demands $86 BILLION Down Payment For Deportations
    The Daily Dot, Friday - 12/27/2024 - 12:38 PM

    When Donald Trump promised on the campaign trail that he’d deliver mass deportations of undocumented immigrants, he never mentioned charging taxpayers for it. He didn’t even lie promise that Mexico would pay for it! Turns out, we will. Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, confirmed on Christmas Eve how much the war on migrants will cost.
