Black Butler Season 5 Episode 9: The Sieglinde Hunt Begins—Recap, Release Date, Where To Stream And More
In ' His Butler, Furious,' Wolfram panics when Sieglinde vanishes. Devastated, Sieglinde learns from the village crone that she is her daughter, born from a tragic mustard gas experiment. Deceived since birth, Sieglinde was raised in a staged village to unknowingly develop deadly chemical weapons.
Outraged, she rejects Wolfram and escapes with Ciel and Sebastian. After battling costumed "werewolves," Sebastian eliminates the village crone and burns the facility. Meanwhile, military forces mobilize under Hilde, who declares Sieglinde must die if she leaves the forest. Ciel convinces Sieglinde she can now create something to help the world instead.
Expected plot in Black Butler Season 5 Episode 9
Black Butler Season 5 Episode 9 will likely adapt Chapter 100 of the manga, where German forces track Sieglinde through the forest. Snake and Baldroy ambush the soldiers using snakes and an explosive marmalade trap. Baldroy fights Wolfram, while Snake distracts him. Wolfram grabs Sieglinde—actually Ciel in disguise—and is held at gunpoint.
Meanwhile, Finnian flees with the real Sieglinde and Tanaka, recalling how Ciel named him. Using his enhanced strength, Finnian outruns pursuers. Grete ambushes them, but Tanaka slices a bullet midair, telling Finnian to continue. Elsewhere, Sebastian finishes his destruction mission.

WWE Raw results: Stephanie Vaquer shines on debut, punches her ticket to Money in the Bank ladder match
Stephanie Vaquer is heading to Money in the Bank. On her very first night as part of the WWE main roster, the former NXT women's champion defeated Ivy Nile and Liv Morgan in a thrilling triple threat match on RAW to grab the final spot in the women's ladder match this Saturday. RAW opened with a CM Punk promo, but it was Vaquer's hype video that turned heads just minutes later. All three women fought with urgency, knowing what was at stake. Liv Morgan nearly stole it early, hitting her signature Codebreaker followed by the Oblivion on Vaquer, but Ivy Nile broke up the pin at the last second. Ivy showed off her power with a massive German suplex on both women. Then the match rolled through a break with non-stop action. Vaquer impressed throughout, landing her signature Devil's Kiss move and a dragon screw leg whip on Nile. Stephanie Vaquer overpowers Liv Morgan and Ivy Nile THIS is Stephanie Vaquer! 👀#WWERaw The final few minutes were full of twists. Liv Morgan nailed a double Codebreaker, Ivy tried to steal the win, and Vaquer absorbed it all. Morgan set up for another Oblivion, but Vaquer slipped free. In the chaos, Ivy rushed in, and that is when Vaquer capitalised. She hit the SVB on Ivy Nile and covered her for the three count. Just like that, the newcomer qualified for one of WWE's most unpredictable matches. She now joins Rhea Ripley, Naomi, Giulia, Alexa Bliss, and Roxanne Perez for Saturday's women's Money in the Bank ladder match. For a superstar making her main roster debut, it does not get much bigger than this. Stephanie Vaquer is here, and she made sure everyone took notice.

Elon Musk vs Cory Booker: A tale of two 'Nazi salutes'
'If it looks like a Nazi salute and smells like a Nazi salute, but one guy's a tech billionaire and the other is a Democrat senator, only one of them ends up being banned in Berlin.' Welcome to yet another episode of Who Gets Cancelled Today?—where the rules are made up, the outrage is algorithmic, and consistency is strictly optional. Let's set the stage. In January 2025, at Donald Trump's second inauguration—a carnival of CPAC cosplay, Mar-a-Lago loyalists, and Liberty University dropouts—Elon Musk stepped on stage, placed his hand over his heart, and extended his arm outward with the ceremonial stiffness of a Leni Riefenstahl extra. Reuters confirms the gesture and backlash. Germany, where the Nazi salute is criminalised when used in ideological contexts, responded with moral indigestion and political outrage. Politicians demanded travel bans. German media erupted. The New York Times ran grim explainer columns. MSNBC activated their "Rise of Fascism" chyron package. (No, seriously, they have one.) The Anti-Defamation League, bless their diplomatically exhausted souls, tried to de-escalate: they called it 'an awkward gesture made in a moment of enthusiasm.' But that didn't stop former ADL director Abraham Foxman from calling it exactly what it looked like: a Nazi salute. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Esta pastilla olvidada limpia las venas a un ritmo impresionante NEWSCASA Undo BBC and Haaretz captured the range of reactions. Musk, predictably, memed through the chaos. He dismissed the outrage as 'dirty tricks' and said the ''everyone is Hitler' attack is sooo tired.' His actual words on X/Twitter. Meanwhile, some far-right Telegram channels threw digital confetti. Fast forward to May 2025. Enter Senator Cory Booker—America's favourite motivational speaker in a suit. At the California Democratic Convention, Booker made a gesture eerily similar: hand over heart, arm extended outward, open palm. Footage surfaced on social media. Cue: crickets. No Germany. No ADL. No CNN panels dissecting palm angles. No panicked Atlantic thinkpieces. Just a quick clarification from Booker's spokesperson: 'He was waving to the audience.' Case closed. Nothing to see here. Piers Morgan, ever the thundercloud of transatlantic outrage, noticed. He highlighted the double standard and triggered an X-storm. Elon the Meme Lord vs Cory the Choirboy Elon is the algorithm's favourite villain: a ketamine-fuelled libertarian who co-signed Trump's chaos and dropped $275 million to support the re-election campaign. He's what happens when Reddit becomes sentient and buys a stake in SpaceX. So when Musk makes a vaguely Roman gesture? Of course it's fascism. Throw in some AI-enhanced screenshots and a Daily Show segment, and suddenly it's 1933 again. Cory Booker, on the other hand, is Progressive America's wholesome avatar—the kind who quotes Rumi during climate speeches. His identical gesture? A heartwarming wave. If Elon had done it while holding a 'Biden 2024' placard, Vox would've called it 'a subversive reclaiming of classical Americana.' The Outrage Exchange Rate In this economy of curated outrage, Musk trades at Tesla volatility. Every blink is a Bitcoin crash. Booker? He's a mutual fund of liberal goodwill. You'd need a Wagner soundtrack and SS cosplay before NPR considers it problematic. But here's the rub: when the rules of moral outrage change depending on the party—or the palm—you can kiss public trust goodbye. Remember when the Left said 'symbols matter'? Apparently not when it's one of their own accidentally doing a salute straight out of Triumph of the Will: The Musical. When Satire Becomes News There's an old Dr Strangelove scene where the titular character can't stop his arm from flying up in a Nazi salute. That's what this feels like. Except instead of satire, we now have real-life Democrats doing the salute, Republicans doing the same, and both sides frantically uploading context to cloud drives of morality. The media? Just a referee selectively enforcing the rules. Final Salute So here's your closing thought: if you're going to raise your hand in American politics, make sure it's the correct hand, with the correct party ID, at the correct convention—preferably surrounded by coastal elites and NPR donors. Otherwise, you might find yourself Photoshopped into history's darkest moments and banned from Bavaria. Because in today's reality-TV democracy, gestures are never just gestures. Unless, of course, they are.

When Elvis and Ella Were Pressed Onto X-Rays – The Subversive Legacy of Soviet ‘Bone Music'

Elvis Presley. Photo: Wikimedia commons Real journalism holds power accountable Since 2015, The Wire has done just that. But we can continue only with your support. Contribute now When Western Electric invented electrical sound recording 100 years ago, it completely transformed the public's relationship to music. Before then, recording was done mechanically, scratching sound waves onto rolled paper or a cylinder. Such recordings suffered from low fidelity and captured only a small segment of the audible sound spectrum. By using electrical microphones, amplifiers and electromechanical recorders, record companies could capture a far wider range of sound frequencies, with much higher fidelity. For the first time, recorded sound closely resembled what a live listener would hear. Over the ensuing years, sales of vinyl records and record players boomed. The technology also allowed some enterprising music fans to make recordings in surprising and innovative ways. As a physician and scholar in the medical humanities, I am fascinated by the use of X-ray film to make recordings – what was known as ' bone music,' or 'ribs.' This rather bizarre, homemade technology became a way to skirt censors in the Soviet Union – and even played an indirect role in its dissolution. Skirting the Soviet censorship regime At the end of World War II, Soviet censorship shifted into high gear in an effort to suppress a Western culture deemed threatening or decadent. Many books and poems could circulate only through ' samizdat,' a portmanteau of 'self' and 'publishing' that involved the use of copy machines to reproduce forbidden texts. Punishments inflicted on Soviet artists and citizens for producing or disseminating censored materials included loss of employment, imprisonment in gulags and even execution. The phonographic analog of samizdat was often referred to as ' roentgenizdat,' which was derived from the name of Wilhelm Roentgen, the German scientist who received the first Nobel Prize in physics in 1901 for his discovery of X-rays. Roentgen's work revolutionized medicine, making it possible to peer inside the living human body without cutting it open and enabling physicians to more easily and accurately diagnose skeletal fractures and diseases such as pneumonia. Today, X-rays are produced and stored digitally. But for most of the 20th century they were created on photographic film and stored in large film libraries, which took up a great deal of space. Because exposed X-ray films cannot be reused, hospitals often recycled them to recoup the silver they contained. Making music from medicine In the Soviet Union in the 1940s, some clever people realized that X-ray film was just soft enough to be etched by an electromechanical lathe, or sound recording device. To make a 'rib,' or ' bone record,' they would use a compass to trace out a circle on an exposed X-ray film that might bear the image of a patient's skull, spine or hands. They then used scissors to cut out the circle, before cutting a small hole in the middle so it would fit on a conventional record player. Then they would use a recording device to cut either live sound or, more commonly, a bootleg record onto the X-ray film. Sound consists of vibrations that the lathe's stylus etches into grooves on the disc. Such devices were not widely available, meaning that only a relatively small number of people could produce such recordings. The censors kept a close eye on record companies. But anyone who could obtain a recording device could record music on pieces of X-ray film, and these old films could be obtained after hospitals threw them out or purchased at a relatively low price from hospital employees. Compared with professionally produced vinyl records, the sound quality was poor, with recordings marred by extraneous noises such as hisses and crackles. The records could be played only a limited number of times before the grooves would wear out. Nonetheless, these resourceful recordings were shared, bought and sold entirely outside of official channels into the 1960s and 1970s. A window into another life Popular artists 'on the bone' included Ella Fitzgerald and Elvis Presley, whose jazz and rock 'n' roll recordings, to the ears of many Soviet citizens, represented freedom and self-expression. In his book ' Bone Music,' cultural historian Stephen Coates describes how Soviet authorities viewed performers such as The Beatles as toxic because they appeared to promote a brand of amoral hedonism and distracted citizens from Communist party priorities. One Soviet critic of bone music recalled of its purveyors: 'It is true that from time to time they are caught, their equipment confiscated, and they may even be brought to court. But then they may be released and be free to go wherever they like. The judges decide that they are, of course, parasites, but they are not dangerous. They are getting suspended sentences! But these record producers are not just engaged in illegal operations. They corrupt young people diligently and methodically with a squeaky cacophony and spread explicit obscenities.' Bone music was inherently subversive. For one thing, it was against the law. Moreover, the music itself suggested that a different sort of life is possible, beyond the strictures of Communist officials. How could a political system that prohibited beautiful music, many asked, possibly merit the allegiance of its citizens? The ability of citizens to get around the censors and spread Western thought, whether through books or bone music, helped chip away at the government's legitimacy. One Soviet-era listener Coates interviewed long after the USSR's collapse described the joy of listening to these illicit recordings: 'I was lifted up off the ground, I started flying. Rock'n'roll showed me a new world, a world of music, words, and feelings, of life, of a different lifestyle. That's why, when I got my first records, I became a happy man. I felt like a changed person, it was as if I was born again. This article was originally published on The Conversation.
