Quite frankly I’m not sure why Mel Gibson is considered a historically accurate director

His “Braveheart” is utter fiction, from the costumes to the ages of actors etc.

And, when I watched his Crucifixion movie and loved it from a spiritual point of view and then from a linguistic view as it used Latin, but only years later I realized:
- the soldiers would not have spoken Latin —> they were not soldiers from the Italian peninsula. These were auxiliary soldiers recruited from the local non-Jewish populations of the region, such as Syrians, Samaritans, and Greeks. These men did not know Latin; their native languages were Aramaic and Greek.

-after watching the serial “Barbarians” on Netflix, i realized also that the soldiers were not speaking Classical Latin, but a softer Latin - so instead of Ave Saysar it should have been Ave Kaizer

ok, that’s being pedantic, sorry about that

Musk gave an interview yesterday and absolutely nailed it.

His statement was perfect!

Elon Musk rejected the “far-right” label and heavily criticized media framing during a fiery interview with The Economist Editor-in-Chief Zanny Minton Beddoes in July 2026.
When accused of supporting populist and far-right fringe parties globally, Musk pushed back directly, stating, “No, I support the normal people. What you call the far right, falsely.”
Musk’s Core Policy Arguments
During the exchange, Musk challenged the reporter to identify what was extreme about his worldview, listing three core principles:

• Secure borders
• Safe cities
• Sensible spending [1]

He followed up by asking, “Which of those three are far-right fringe?” and demanded that the exchange remain unedited, telling the reporter, “I would just like to just admonish you and the media for the absurd characterization of the far right. It is false and misleading and nonsense! Please keep this part in.”
Defending His Political Influence
Musk shrugged off the critique, replying, “Maybe some people do loathe me and that’s probably true. I don’t care.” He later turned the sentiment back onto the journalist, asserting that far more people harbor distrust toward legacy media institutions than toward him.
