Soon, it'll be a little harder for you to tell everyone what you thought of Marvel's The Avengers.

Netflix is removing a desktop-only feature this summer that allowed users to read and write reviews of TV shows and movies on its website. But the shutdown is coming in stages. People will no longer be able to write their feedback on a show, similar to a Yelp review of a restaurant, by July 30. And in mid-August, people will no longer be able to read existing user reviews on Netflix either.

"We have notified members who have used the feature recently," Netflix spokesperson Smita Saran said in an email Thursday.

This isn't the first time the company has changed a feature used to provide feedback on its offerings.

Dawn Sturgess, the woman who fell ill after being exposed to the same nerve agent as former spy Sergei Skripal, has died. She and her boyfriend were taken to a Salisbury hospital a week ago.

Police don't know at the moment how Sturgess, 44, and Charlie Rowley, 45, were exposed to Novichok. The pair were discovered unconscious in a property in Muggleton Road, Amesbury, last Saturday, however, the incident was only brought to light on Wednesday when the police revealed that the two were treated "for suspected exposure to an unknown substance."

Hollywood celebrities have been raising the heat in their rhetoric against President Trump, but critics say the often-profane criticism could actually inflame a pro-Trump backlash ahead of November's midterm elections.

Trump is considered vulgar Enemy No. 1 in much of the entertainment world, and more and more performers - from Robert De Niro to Michelle Wolf - are following him into the mud, though their harshest insults may actually be giving Republicans a boost.

"I think that they live inside this cultural bubble where they all talk among themselves and make the incredibly erroneous conclusion that the rest of the nation must think like they do," GOP consultant John Brabender said in an interview with The Hill this week.

A London landlord is temporarily renaming his pub 'The Trump Arms' in celebration of U.S. President Donald J. Trump's visit to the UK next week and as a show of Anglo-American solidarity.

Damien Smyth, who runs The Jameson pub in Hammersmith, told Breitbart London that he will be throwing a 'Welcome Trump' party "to show solidarity with the U.S. people and the President" who will be visiting the UK on Friday the 13th of July as part of a wider European trip.

"We're the greatest friends in the world and natural buddies," Mr Smyth, who hails from Ireland and is married to a New Yorker, said.

"We want to show solidarity. We want to thank Trump for making the world safe again."

Comment: The imperial overlords have barred Farage from meeting Trump while he's visiting. Talk about Orwellian.

More than 24,000 fans attended a meeting with the national football team in Moscow to thank the players for their historic World Cup performance, which saw them progress to the quarter-finals for the first time in their history.

A huge crowd of people at the FIFA Fan Fest on Vorobyovy Gory greeted the team with thunderous applause and loud chants "Rossiya" and "Spasibo" to mark the Sbornaya's remarkable accomplishments at the home World Cup.

The players, who suffered a heartbreaking quarter-final defeat on Saturday, unfurled a huge banner reading "We are playing for you" in a tribute to their devoted fans and their passionate support during the tournament.

Comment: Ranked last, the Russian team was supposed to be the low-hanging fruit Western presstitutes could beat Russia with.

Alas, like everything else in this tournament, the Russians left them with nothing but sour grapes.

"A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of the people. Only a small 'inside' group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many. Out of war a few people make huge fortunes."
~ Major General Smedley Butler, War Is A Racket
Imagine if someone became immensely wealthy by slaughtering hundreds of thousands of human beings and selling their skins for money. Would they not be remembered for generations as one of the most evil monsters ever to walk the face of the earth?

Now imagine if someone became immensely wealthy by killing the exact same number of people, but instead of selling their hides, they simply sold the weapons which killed them after using legalized government bribery to ensure their use. Would you expect to see similar levels of revulsion? Or would you expect them to be treated as respectable members of society and elevated to a position of king-like power and influence?

Farage slams hypocritical London mayor for Trump baby blimp greenlight, Twitter reacts

trump blimp
Nigel Farage has branded the decision to permit protestors to fly a Donald Trump baby blimp over London during next week's visit as "the biggest insult to a sitting US president ever." Social media exploded in reaction.

Farage, a big fan of Trump's protectionist policies and tough talk to European leaders, made the comments criticising London Mayor Sadiq Khan during the Thursday edition of his evening call-in show on LBC Radio.

Farage asked his listeners: "Do you actually think that an application to fly an [Barack] Obama blimp, of Obama as a crying young baby over Parliament Square when he came here last during the referendum, to tell us to vote remain. Do you actually think that that would be allowed?"

Comment: If it was about free speech then why is a Trump blimp permitted to be flown but a pro-Trump rally has been rejected? Clearly the establishment powers are promoting one side while censoring another. The increasingly authoritarian left is uncritical and ideologically driven and is aligning itself with proven warmongers and leaders who revel in chaos and death: Also check out SOTT radio's:

FAA says its not their job to regulate sardine seats on airplanes

© Ted S. Warren/APThe FAA declined to regulate seat size and pitch on airlines, saying current dimensions do not present a safety hazard.
Cramped cabins, knocked knees, aggrieved elbows: all real problems for today's flyers. But the Federal Aviation Administration has said they aren't its problems - announcing Tuesday that it will not regulate airline seat size and legroom.

The decision came in the form of a letter responding to a lawsuit brought by the group Flyers Rights.

Flyers Rights said that shrinking seats, which it calls sardine seats, present an issue during emergency evacuations, especially as larger passengers could struggle to get out of the seats in a hurry.

But the FAA said that current seat size is not a safety issue. "The time it takes passengers to get out of their seats, even if those seats are relatively narrow and close together, is less than the time it takes for the emergency exits to begin functioning and for the line that begins forming in the aisle to clear," Dorenda Baker, executive director of the FAA's Aircraft Certification Service, said in the letter.

She added that FAA tests show that seat width and pitch - the distance between seat backs - do not slow down evacuation times; instead, how well passengers pay attention during flight crew instructions largely affects how fast they can get out of their seats.

Abuse of power? New York's mayor, DeBlasio, used a $3M counterterrorism plane to pitstop home from vacation

The NYPD used a $3 million counterterrorism plane to shuttle Mayor Bill de Blasio back and forth from his Canada vacation to the Big Apple for an event Thursday, The Post has learned. Hizzoner, who is in Quebec on a weeklong respite, briefly flew back to the Bronx for a memorial for slain Detective Miosotis Familia.

"NYPD is transporting him in their plane," de Blasio spokesman Eric Phillips told The Post.

"Their plane" is a Cessna 208 Caravan that cost roughly $3 million and was picked up by the department in 2017, sources said. The high-tech aircraft is outfitted with special sensors that can detect at a distance radioactive material used to make "dirty bombs."

Police sources questioned the use of a special plane for mayoral transportation.
"It is very unusual to go on an international flight to go pick up the mayor," one source said. "I think it's excessive, because that wasn't what that plane was designed to do. It's designed for counterterrorism measures. To go to Canada to get the mayor? It's excessive."

Comment: One might expect that an emergency of a critical nature might lead to extraordinary efforts and means. This was a 'street naming' event, a publicity opportunity. De Blasio should be billed.
