‘He Appears To Be Deeply Unwell’

What To Know

  • Jimmy Kimmel questioned Donald Trump’s repeated claims of excellent health, highlighting the President’s lengthy social media posts and visible physical issues.
  • Kimmel mocked Trump’s boasts about acing cognitive exams, noting that the tests are basic and suggesting repeated testing indicates concern over his mental state.
  • The comedian also criticized Trump’s economic messaging, pointing out he’s making the ‘same mistake as Joe Biden.’

Donald Trump continues to boast of his excellent physical and mental health, but Jimmy Kimmel isn’t buying it, especially after the President’s latest lengthy rant on the issue.

On Wednesday’s (December 10) Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the late-night host touched on a ridiculously long Truth Social post Trump shared on Tuesday night (December 9) to “let us know he’s doing fine.”

“Our President appears to be deeply unwell, even for him,” Kimmel said in his opening monologe before flashing up a screenshot of Trump’s post, which was so long it covered Kimmel’s entire body.

“This post about his health is twice as long as the Gettysburg Address, and that’s not a joke,” the comedian quipped. He then looked at Trump’s claims that he “aced” three separate cognitive exams.

“Let me tell you what that means,” Kimmel told his audience. “That means he passed the first two, and they were like ‘This can’t be right. Let’s give him one more.’”

Kimmel noted these are “not the SAT tests he’s taking,” adding, “It’s a one-page exam to see if you know the difference between a camel and a goat. It’s basically the test paramedics give you when you hit your head in a jet-ski accident.”

He then addressed Trump’s hands, which have continued to draw attention over the past year due to the bruising on his skin. On Tuesday, the President appeared in Pennsylvania with a band-aid over his hand and make-up covering part of it.

“Something is wrong here,” Kimmel said. “The guy who is running our country is being given unscheduled dementia tests. He’s been given MRIs. He has mystery bruises he’s covering with Maybelline. And we’re supposed to accept this idea that he’s some cross between Chris Hemsworth and Albert Einstein?”

Elsewhere in Tuesday’s monologue, Kimmel addressed Trump’s speech on the economy at the Mount Airy Casino Resort in Pennsylvania. In the speech, Trump boasted of a thriving economy, while at the same time suggesting families “give up certain products,” saying, “You can give up pencils… You don’t need 37 dolls for your daughter. Two or three is nice, but you don’t need 37 dolls.”

“The guy who bedazzled this room in gold thinks your child has too many pencils at school,” Kimmel joked, adding, “His strategy, it seems, is to just keep saying things are great, which is the same mistake Joe Biden made, by the way.”

He added, “You can’t just tell people the economy is good when they’re paying more for everything. We know how much things cost. People are looking at the price of apples with our eyes, and you’re telling us to not see it.”

“He wants us to be a bunch of ‘not-sees,’” Kimmel concluded, using the pronunciation to make it sound like “Nazis.”

John Oliver Bids Adieu To ‘Deeply Weird’ Eric Adams, Welcomes Mamdani

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Last Week Tonight honored its native New York City as John Oliver conducted an audit of Eric Adams‘s scandal-ridden mayoralty — and welcomed recently minted mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, an introduction that led to resounding cheers from the live audience.

As Oliver discussed Mamdani’s triumphant speech — which he characterized as an “entirely earned victory lap” and “pretty satisfying” — he noted that some, such as CNN’s Van Jones, critiqued the words as “sharp” and a “character switch.”

“He just weathered one of the most Islamophobic campaigns in recent memory,” the late-night host countered. “‘I wish Andrew Cuomo only the best in private live’ is a frankly superhuman level of grace to extend to a man who has yet to pronounce your name correctly once.”

After concluding his story for the night — on how America’s singular felony murder laws exacerbate mass incarceration — Oliver returned to the topic of his show’s home city, delivering a eulogy of sorts for the outgoing Adams administration, scheduled to depart Jan. 1.

Calling the leadup to the NYC mayoral election “truly insane from start to finish” — as best exemplified by a viral debate question concerning parades — Oliver mulled over the fact that one local news segment couldn’t locate a single resident to express disappointment in Adams dropping out of the race.

“They couldn’t find anyone! This city has 8 million people. I’m a 1000% sure I could find someone who would vote for a pigeon fucking a bagel in Central Park, but no takers for Eric Adams — that has got to hurt,” he quipped.

In offering “one last look at Eric Adams because he is a deeply weird man,” the political comic paid homage to Adams’s amusing flag-raising ceremonies, in which he has repeatedly stated that New York is the [insert given nation’s capital city] of America.

Though Adams began as a popular candidate with an over 60% approval rating, his stats dropped over 40% in the span of two years. Oliver outlined “the true hallmark of the Adams administration was its constant scandals,” going over a laundry list of corruption, bribery and conspiracy charges faced by a number of admin officials.

“This is a great city, but that is not because of you [Adams] and sometimes it is in active spite of you,” Oliver concluded. “You know, if I could sum up Eric Adams’s mayoralty in one word, it’d probably be: New York, because this is a place where every day you wake up you can experience a plane crashing into our Trade Center, to a fake vegan, non-Alabaman leaving a ghost-filled Gracie Mansion to lecture all of us on family, business, public safety and, of course, clitoral stimulation.”

And though Oliver made sure to include the “soundbite bonanza” that was Republican Curtis Sliwa’s campaign — from his anecdotes about his historical clashes with organized crime to his shots at Andrew Cuomo — the host did forget one gem from the Adams administration: his much-memed, bizarre anti-drug PSA video.

As numerous people took to social media to mourn these deaths, the teams behind Naga Chaitanya’s NC24, directed by Karthik Dandu, and Balakrishna’s NBK111, directed by Gopichand Malineni, announced that they’re deferring film announcements in light of the tragedy.

Announcements for Balakrishna and Naga Chaitanya’s films have been deferred due to the accident in Rangareddy district.

Pulse Emitter Dive Deeply Into Synth Landscapes » PopMatters

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Under the moniker of Pulse Emitter, Daryl Groetsch’s work with the synthesizer has embraced melodic synth music, organic ambient, relaxation, microtonal, and noise/drone, and while the most recent Pulse Emitter album, Dusk (2022), encompassed most of these subgenres, his new one, Tide Pools, is more of the same. Which is good news, because Groetsch absolutely excels at creating synth soundscapes that sound mind-bendingly wild, are massively melodic, and demand repeated listens.

Leaping out of the gate with the frantic, jittery “Energy Flying”, Groetsch immediately creates an atmosphere of futuristic hope. Things slow down on the more ruminative “So Many Leaves”, but none of the sleek sophistication or generally upbeat vibes are compromised. Despite the songs all seeming to embrace the same positive headspace, there’s plenty of variety and individuality. “Chip Stacking” is positively playful: crystal clear melody lines that are rich and irresistible, often coming off as a soundtrack to the world’s most advanced video game.

There are moments on Tide Pools that sound gracefully unmoored, such as on the lush, ethereal “Jellyfish and Friends”, which includes fretless bass soundalike patches that nudge the song into new age jazz territory. Meanwhile, songs like “Critters” and “Fronds” take cues from more experimental electronic avenues, with gurgling sounds and slashes of distorted clips that would sound at home on Orange Milk Records.

However, much of Tide Pools consists of neat, orderly lines that pleasantly surprise with unusual sound combinations that ultimately sound warm and inviting: “Early Motion”, “In a Circuit”, and the twin title tracks (“Tide Pool 1” and “Tide Pool 2”) are playfully adventurous, like bright, buzzy ear candy that won’t rot out your teeth.

Tide Pools is the fourth Pulse Emitter release on Chicago’s Hausu Mountain label (in addition to Dusk, Swirlings, and his collaboration with Brett Naucke, Mugen: Volume 9), and while it largely falls along the lines of that imprint’s dedication to bold individuality, Daryl Groetsch goes a step further by creating musical worlds that are always filled with a sense of optimism alongside a bold artistic spirit.

Bombay HC Orders Removal Of Akshay Kumar’s AI-Generated Maharishi Valmiki Video; Calls It ‘Deeply Concerning’

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Akshay Kumar recently won a case in the Bombay High Court after a fake AI-generated video of him went viral on social media. The video showed him playing the role of Maharishi Valmiki — something he never did. The video caused confusion and concern among fans and the public.

Akshay Kumar Wins Case Over Fake AI Video

On October 17, Justice Arif Doctor of the Bombay High Court ruled in Akshay’s favour and ordered the video to be removed. The judge called the video “truly alarming”. He said such content must be taken down immediately to protect not only Akshay Kumar’s image but also the public’s interest.

Justice Doctor pointed out that AI-generated videos have become so realistic that it’s hard to tell they are fake. He warned that these types of videos can have serious consequences. Including harming someone’s reputation and spreading false information that can mislead society.

He called the AI-generated video ‘deeply concerning’, Justice Doctor further warned, “The consequences that can arise from such content being disseminated are indeed most grave and serious. Apart from violating and affecting the Plaintiff’s personality and moral rights. Such videos also pose a grave threat to the safety and well-being of the Plaintiff’s family members and can also have an adverse and widespread impact on society and public order, which clearly appears to be the agenda of those who create such content.”

He added that such deepfakes can also threaten the safety of the actor’s family and cause public unrest. The court emphasised the need for stronger protections against this kind of harmful content.

Back on September 23, Akshay himself took to social media to clear things up. He wrote, “I want to clarify that all such videos are fake and created using AI… I request media houses to verify and report only after checking the facts.”

Akshay was represented by senior lawyer Birendra Saraf, who spoke about the growing problem of AI-created fake videos and the need to address it legally.

On the work front, Akshay was last seen in Jolly LLB 3. He has several films lined up for 2026, including Bhooth Bangla, Welcome to the Jungle, and Haiwaan.

Kneecap launch legal attack on Canadian MP Vince Gasparro for "wholly untrue and deeply malicious" comments as band barred from entering Canada

Kneecap launch legal attack on Canadian MP Vince Gasparro for “wholly untrue and deeply malicious” comments as band barred from entering Canada

by jummy84

Kneecap have launched a legal attack on Canadian MP Vince Gasparro after being barred from entering Canada.

The Irish rap trio were banned from entering Canada earlier this week, with Canadian officials saying they had “made statements that are contrary to Canadian values” that “have caused deep alarm”.

Announcing the ban on Monday (September 15), Canadian Liberal MP and Parliamentary Secretary for Combating Crime Vince Gasparro said in a video on X/Twitter that the group has “amplified political violence and publicly displayed support for terrorist organisations such as Hezbollah and Hamas.”

“These are not expressions of art or legitimate political critique,” Gasparro said. “They are dangerous endorsements of violence and hate.”

Mo Chara is currently facing terrorism charges levelled against him in May for allegedly displaying a Hezbollah flag on stage at a London show last November. Chara appeared in court last month, where the case was adjourned until September 26.

Kneecap have consistently denied supporting either Hamas or Hezbollah, and said that they do not incite or condone violence. They have also argued that the footage at the UK shows had been taken out of context, and described the legal action as a “carnival of distraction”.

They were due to perform in Toronto and Vancouver in October. A Jewish organisation in the country has been pushing for the government to deny them entry since June.

Kneecap have now responded to Gasparro’s comments in a post on Instagram today (September 19), saying his statements are “wholly untrue and deeply malicious” and threatening legal action.

“We have today instructed our lawyers to initiate legal action against you,” the group said. “We will be relentless in defending ourselves against baseless accusations to silence our opposition to a genocide being committed by Israel.

“When we beat you in court, which we will, we will donate every cent to assist some of the thousands of child amputees in Gaza,” they added.

They also issued a message to their fans in Canada, saying, “We have played in Canada many times with zero issues and a message of solidarity and love.

“We are sorry we cannot be with you next month but we will not be silenced and will always oppose genocide. Use your voices in Canada – stand up and speak out.”

Last night (September 18), Kneecap played their biggest England gig to date at the 12,500-capacity OVO Wembley Arena.

Massive Attack and Ben Jamal introduced them to the stage, describing them as “a band who refused to be silenced for their solidarity with the Palestinian people”.

NME caught the gig and gave it a glowing five-star review, which read: “You don’t pull off a gig like that on controversy alone. You need bangers and you need a culture to fill this room. Kneecap have all that, and they’re a fucking good laugh. There’s no call for violence, there’s nothing that should land someone in front of a judge, just solidarity and a rave against the dying of the light. Just 24 hours earlier in this same room, Together For Palestine put on all-star fundraiser for the cause, the biggest of its kind.

“It’s significant like gigs like this should happen at a time like now. The state may try to crush them, but Kneecap have a power of their own. As they spit on ‘It’s Been Ages’: “Controversy won’t phase us, we hold all the cards and they’re aces, try to protect your kids but they’ll hear us.”

Kneecap have announced a live-streamed performance for fans after being forced to cancel their US tour due to the “close proximity of [their] next court hearing”. They will then head out on a 2025 UK headline tour in November. Find any remaining tickets here.

In other news, Kneecap are among Fontaines DC, Amyl & The Sniffers, and over 400 other artists to have joined the No Music For Genocide campaign, while Massive Attack, who are involved in the campaign, have committed to fully boycott Spotify.

Other artists, who are largely on independent labels, participating in the campaign include Rina Sawayama, MIKE, Primal Scream, Faye Webster, Kneecap and Japanese Breakfast. They are joined by the likes of Yaeji, King Krule, MJ Lenderman, Mannequin Pussy, Wednesday, Soccer Mommy and MØ.

To join the coalition, the artists involved have edited their own release territories or sent geo-block requests to their distributor or label. They are encouraging major label groups Sony, UMG, and Warner to follow suit, particularly as they blocked their entire catalogues from and closed operations in Russia a month into their invasion of Ukraine.

Bob Vylan announce ‘We Won’t Go Quietly’ 2025 UK tour as they hit back at “spineless” BBC chief for condemning “deeply disturbing” Glastonbury set to MPs

by jummy84

Bob Vylan have announced some UK headline dates for 2025, and hit back at the BBC director-general for condemning their Glastonbury set to MPs.

The punk rap duo will hit the road for their ‘We Won’t Go Quietly’ tour this November, following a summer of controversy surrounding their slot at Worthy Farm in June.

  • READ MORE: Bob Vylan: “We’ve been screaming about these topics at the top of our lungs for years. Why has it taken this long?”

“After all the attempts to silence us, we’re about to be louder than ever. We won’t go quietly!” the band wrote when confirming the upcoming shows this morning (September 9).

Kicking off at the O2 Academy in Leeds on November 4, the trek also includes stops in Manchester, Glasgow, London, Bristol and Birmingham.

Tickets go on general sale at 10am BST this Friday (September 12) – you’ll be able to buy yours here. An O2 Priority pre-sale will begin at the same time tomorrow (Wednesday September 10).

Check out the announcement post below, along with the full schedule.

Bob Vylan’s 2025 ‘We Won’t Go Quietly’ UK tour dates are:

NOVEMBER
04 – O2 Academy, Leeds
05 – Academy, Manchester
06 – O2 Academy, Glasgow 
11 – O2 Kentish Town Forum, London
20 – The Prospect Building, Bristol 

DECEMBER
04 – O2 Academy, Birmingham 

Bob Vylan have also called out Tim Davie, the BBC director-general, after he called the corporation’s decision to broadcast the duo’s Glastonbury 2025 set live “a very significant mistake” (via The Independent).

When facing questions from MPs on the Culture, Media and Sport Committee today, Davie branded Bob Vylan’s slot at the event “anti-Semitic” and “deeply disturbing”.

“I don’t think I misread it, I just got there [to Glastonbury] when I heard about it [at] about five o’clock,” Davie recalled. “The performance was well done by then, and at that point, I knew absolutely that it was an anti-Semitic broadcast.

“So, my decision was to get that off on demand, simple as that. I mean, it wasn’t too complicated in my mind […] I do think it was deeply disturbing.”

In response, the band labelled Davie a “spineless puppet” and denied any wrongdoing once again: “There was nothing anti-Semitic or criminal about anything I said at Glastonbury. Why do you think @metpoliceuk @ASPolice are taking so long?

As well as being dropped by their agency, Bob Vylan have had their US visas revoked and are currently under criminal investigation over the performance. The gig saw the duo voice their support for Palestine, criticise Israel, and lead the crowd in chants of “death, death to the IDF [Israel Defence Forces]”.

In July, it was reported that police were still investigating Bob Vylan’s Glastonbury set. However, it was confirmed at the time that they had dropped their inquiry into Kneecap’s performance at the festival.

“Tim Davie is doing his best to continue throwing others under the bus and cling on to power at the BBC but we see him and the institution for what they are,” Bob Vylan wrote this afternoon.

“Bought and paid for, complicit in the Gaza genocide and a leading force in the silencing of those speaking up against it.”

They went on to claim that “the reason [their Glastonbury set] wasn’t cut immediately is not because of some oversight at the BBC as they keep making out, but because there was nothing anti-Semitic about the performance”.

Davie said today that “the BBC made a very significant mistake in broadcasting” the show. “The fact that those words were broadcast to that broad audience […] frankly, it was disturbing,” he added.

Bob Vylan responded: “As a matter of fact I know there were staff at the BBC that loved the performance and saw nothing wrong with it until they were told there was something wrong with it. I also know some other bits and pieces but let me just 🤐.”

Following the broadcast, a spokesperson for the BBC said: “The team were dealing with a live situation, but with hindsight we should have pulled the stream during the performance. We regret this did not happen.”

They continued: “The BBC respects freedom of expression but stands firmly against incitement to violence. The anti-Semitic sentiments expressed by Bob Vylan were utterly unacceptable and have no place on our airwaves.”

Bob Vylan have also today addressed Lorna Clarke stepping down from her role as the BBC’s director of music following the backlash.

“Lorna Clarke, a Black woman, was so quickly dismissed from her duties after Glastonbury,” they wrote. “Why? Someone had to fall and who easier to take it than a Black woman. But now [Davie is] getting grilled and is showing just how incompetent and bought HE is.”

Bob Vylan have spoken out to defend their Glastonbury 2025 performance numerous times now. They’ve claimed it was vital to “teach our children to speak up for the change they want”, and reiterated that they were wanting the “dismantling of a violent military machine” – not calling for “the death of Jews or Arabs or any other race or group”.

In a statement, Glastonbury organisers said they were “appalled by the statements made from the West Holts stage by Bob Vylan”.

Shortly after the festival, the BBC said it would no longer broadcast performances it deemed “high risk”. Around the same time, Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy accused the BBC of having a “problem of leadership”.

Sir Richard Branson ‘deeply saddened’ after rising star chef dies in crash on billionaire’s island retreat

Sir Richard Branson has been left “deeply saddened” after executive sous chef Sihle Somdaka died in a buggy crash on his Caribbean retreat Necker Island.

Sir Richard Branson has been left ‘deeply saddened’ after executive sous chef Sihle Somdaka died in a buggy crash on his Caribbean retreat Necker Island

The 75-year-old entrepreneur was not on the island at the time of the incident but has been in close contact with staff and the chef’s family, according to reports.

Sihle, aged 37 and originally from Cape Town, South Africa, was found fatally injured late on Friday (29.08.25) after apparently losing control of an electric buggy shortly after leaving a farewell party at the island’s Great House.

A source told The Sun: “Sir Richard wasn’t on the island when the incident occurred but has been in close contact with the family and the Necker Island team.”

They added the billionaire was “deeply saddened” by the tragedy.

The crash took place just before midnight, as Sihle drove down a steep hillside in one of the resort’s buggies.

Island medics attempted CPR before a doctor was flown in from neighbouring Moskito Island.

He was then transported by boat to Peebles Hospital on Tortola, where he was pronounced dead from a head injury.

Police in the British Virgin Islands have launched a full investigation into the circumstances of the crash. A source told The Sun staff on Necker Island are working closely with local authorities to establish what happened.

Another insider alleged there had been “a culture of excess” at the luxury resort.

They said: “They’ve had very many close shaves and near misses over the years… it was only a matter of time, but it should never have happened.”

Sihle was described as a rising star in the culinary world.

The father-of-two had worked in high-end restaurants across the Middle East, including in Doha and Kuwait, before securing a position on Branson’s £95,000-a-night private island.

Days before his death, Sihle shared images on social media of himself enjoying the beaches and jet skis at Necker Island, captioning one photograph: “Caribbean life.”
