Judas Priest Documentary Co-Directed by Tom Morello in the Works
Heavy metal legends Judas Priest will be the focus of a career-spanning documentary co-directed by Tom Morello.
The Rage Against the Machine guitarist will make his directorial debut with The Ballad of Judas Priest, which will arrive later this year via Sony Music Vision, Variety reports. Sam Dunn will serve as the other co-director on the film, which — like the band — borrows its name from Bob Dylan's 'The Ballad of Frankie Lee and Judas Priest.'

'We have lived and breathed metal for over five decades, and finally in this documentary we are summoning our congregation to officially witness our lives uncensored, in a never-before-seen way…the cassock comes off, revealing Priest in all its metal glory,' the band said in a joint statement.
The Ballad of Judas Priest will trace the heavy metal band's half-century legacy, from their roots in Birmingham, England, to their climb to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. With the arrival of 2024's Invincible Shield, Judas Priest became the first metal act to release albums 50 years apart, as their debut LP, Rocka Rolla, was unleashed in 1974. The band has put out 19 studio albums in that span.
'While some may know Judas Priest for their huge hits that have shaped the heavy metal genre, there is so much more to their story,' Morello and Dunn added. 'Tracing their incredible 50-year journey, this film will capture how Judas Priest both defined the sound and look of metal, but also made it a more inclusive place along the way. We are grateful to the band for allowing us such intimate, unfiltered access to their lives and look forward to bringing this film to the metal masses around the world.'

Harper Collins Publishers India Presents master storyteller Ashwin Sanghi's latest adventure-thriller in the chart-topping Bharat Collection, The Ayodhya Alliance
Readers of smart adventure-thrillers and fans of the bestselling Bharat Collection need not wait any longer! NEW DELHI , June 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — India's master storyteller, Ashwin Sanghi, is back with a riveting new novel, the much-awaited eighth book in the Bharat Collection – The Ayodhya Alliance – set to release this June. Written in his signature style, blending mythology, history and intrigue into a compelling plot, this gripping read is perfect for fans of the genre and anyone looking for their next engrossing read. The Ayodhya Alliance is now available on preorder. Talking about the new book, Ashwin Sanghi says, 'What if the answers to today's biggest questions were buried in the secrets of our past? The Ayodhya Alliance is a thriller that delves into legacy, legend, lineage and learning—told in my usual trademark blend of fact and fiction. It is my most ambitious project to date, and I hope that it will be relished by my readers.' Poulomi Chatterjee , Executive Publisher – HarperCollins India, says, 'I have long admired Ashwin for his special ability to connect dots that most of us will never notice – across civilizations and continents, races and religions, the past, present and future – in the most entertaining way possible. As far as adventure thrillers go, the novels in his Bharat Collection stand apart for the superlative imagination and craft he employs to make them riveting page-turners from the word go. The Ayodhya Alliance is undoubtedly the most accomplished and exciting book in the Collection yet. It brilliantly combines current political intrigue with an ancient mystery, and its unexpected twists and turns and frequent revelations will delight readers in the best possible ways. I'm especially glad to be publishing it alongside freshly rejacketed editions of the rest of the Bharat Collection for thriller fans everywhere.' About The Ayodhya Alliance An ancient secret. A forgotten science. A battle for the future of humanity. Seven thousand years ago, as he lay dying on the battlefield of Lanka, Ravana whispered a secret to Lakshmana about a mysterious technology that held the key to Ayodhya's prosperity and the world's destiny. For centuries, desperately sought by explorers, marauders and emperors alike, it has been kept hidden, safeguarded by warriors bound by an ancient oath. Now, as tensions escalate along India's volatile borders and a crucial defence project teeters on the brink of failure, Indian industrialist Aditya Pillai and South Korean technocrat Somi Kim are thrust into a mission that will upend everything they know. The two realize they must act fast, but never once do they anticipate that they will stumble upon startling revelations about a miraculous force that once connected Ayodhya to Kailasa, the Pandyan Empire, Rome , Damascus , Thailand and Korea. As the forces of past and present collide, a question looms large: who will harness the power of the ultimate enigma, and at what cost? The Ayodhya Alliance spans continents and centuries, seamlessly weaving together science, legend and history in a breathless race against time. In this sweeping, unputdownable story of intrigue, betrayal, survival and love, master storyteller Ashwin Sanghi casts his web wider than ever before, spinning once again a riveting, edge-of-the-seat thriller. About the Author Ashwin Sanghi is among India's highest-selling English fiction authors. He has written several bestsellers in the Bharat Collection (The Rozabal Line, Chanakya's Chant, The Krishna Key, The Sialkot Saga, Keepers of the Kalachakra, The Vault of Vishnu, The Magicians of Mazda) and two New York Times and The Sunday Times bestselling crime thrillers with James Patterson , Private India (sold in the U.S. as City on Fire) and Private Delhi (sold in the U.S. as Count to Ten).

The 50 Best Winnie The Pooh Quotes To Bring Instant Joy
Sometimes life can be so overwhelming. *Gestures wildly.* You know? A.A. Milne's beloved Winnie-the-Pooh series was initially published almost 100 years ago, but its wisdom and values of curiosity and caring for one another are still so relevant today. So here are 50 quotes from Winnie, Piglet, Tigger, Eeyore, Rabbit, and all of their other pals from the Hundred Acre Woods. Quotes About Love & Friendship 'If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day so I never have to live without you.' Piglet: "How do you spell love?" "And really, it wasn't much good having anything exciting like floods, if you couldn't share them with somebody." "I'm never afraid with you." 'Some people care too much. I think it's called love.' "Love is taking a few steps backward, maybe even more…to give way to the happiness of the person you love." "'We'll be Friends Forever, won't we, Pooh?' asked Piglet." "'I wonder what Piglet is doing,' thought Pooh.' I wish I were there to be doing it, too.'" 'One thing you should know, no matter where I go, we'll always be together.' "A day without a friend is like a pot without a single drop of honey left inside." "After all, one can't complain. I have my friends." Quotes About Change 'You can't stay in your corner of the Forest waiting for others to come to you. You have to go to them sometimes.' 'I used to believe in forever, but forever's too good to be true.' 'When you see someone putting on his Big Boots, you can be pretty sure that an Adventure is going to happen.' 'I would've liked for it to go on a while longer.' Pooh: 'What should happen if you forget about me?' 'If there ever comes a day when we can't be together, keep me in your heart, I'll stay there forever.' "How lucky am I to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard." Quotes About How To Be Present When You Go About Your Day "I wonder what's going to happen exciting today?" 'It is more fun to talk with someone who doesn't use long, difficult words but rather short, easy words like 'What about lunch?'" 'We didn't realize we were making memories, we just knew we were having fun.' 'People say nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.' 'I think we dream so we don't have to be apart for so long. If we're in each other's dreams, we can be together all the time.' 'Rivers know this: there is no hurry. We shall get there some day.' 'Piglet was so excited at the idea of being useful that he forgot to be frightened any more, and when Rabbit went on to say that Kangas were only fierce during the winter months, being at other times of an affectionate disposition, he could hardly sit still, he was so eager to begin being useful at once.' "One mustn't complain.' 'What I like doing best is means just going along, listening to all the things you can't hear, and not bothering." 'How sweet to be a Cloud Floating in the Blue! It makes him very proud to be a little cloud.' "It's the best way to write poetry, letting things come.' "Any day spent with you is my favorite day. So, today is my new favorite day." Quotes About Connection And Forgiveness 'Some people talk to animals. Not many listen though. That's the problem.' 'They're funny things, Accidents. You never have them till you're having them.' 'Just because an animal is large, it doesn't mean he doesn't want kindness; however big Tigger seems to be, remember that he wants as much kindness as Roo.' ''And how are you?' said Winnie-the-Pooh. Eeyore shook his head from side to side. 'Not very how,' he said. 'I don't seem to have felt at all how for a long time.'" 'If the person you are talking to doesn't appear to be listening, be patient. It may simply be that he has a small piece of fluff in his ear.' 'I have been foolish and deluded,' said [Pooh], 'and I am a bear of no brain at all.' 'You're the Best Bear in All the World,' said Christopher Robin soothingly. "It makes such a difference to have someone who believes in you." 'Nobody can be uncheered with a balloon.' "A little consideration, a little thought for others, makes all the difference." "A hug is always the right size." Quotes About Finding Joy And Being Yourself "The things that make me different are the things that make me, me." ''I don't feel very much like Pooh today,' said Pooh. 'There, there,' said Piglet. 'I'll bring you tea and honey until you do.' "'Hello, Rabbit,' he said, 'is that you?' 'Let's pretend it isn't,' said Rabbit, 'and see what happens.'" "The most wonderful thing about Tiggers is, I'm the only one." ''Honey or condensed milk with your bread?' [Pooh] was so excited that he said, 'Both'' and then, so as not to seem greedy, he added, 'but don't bother about the bread, please.' 'Piglet noticed that even though he had a Very Small Heart, it could hold a rather large amount of Gratitude.' "' and I have brains. The others have fluff. If there is any thinking to be done in this Forest —and when I say thinking, I mean thinking — you and I must do it.' 'It's not much of a tail, but I'm sort of attached to it.' 'I am short, fat, and proud of that.' And finaly, a quote to conclude: 'So, they went off together. But wherever they go, and whatever happens to them on the way, in that enchanted place on the top of the Forest, a little boy and his Bear will always be playing.'

Donald Trump's Latest Truth Social Conspiracy Theory Repost About Joe Biden Being Replaced By "Clone Doubles" Is Going Viral, And It's Deeply Unserious
In the last few weeks, former President Joe Biden has seemingly been on Donald Trump's mind A LOT. Earlier this week, Trump went on a mini-rant in the Oval Office, calling Biden "vicious," and most recently, he took to Truth Social to repost a strange conspiracy theory about the former president. On Saturday night, Trump took to Truth Social to repost a conspiracy theory from a pro-MAGA account about Biden supposedly being "executed in 2020" and replaced by "clone doubles." The original post reads: "There is no #JoeBiden - executed in 2020. #Biden clones doubles & robotic engineered soulless mindless entities are what you see. >#Democrats dont know the difference," followed by dozens of political hashtags. According to Rolling Stone, this same account has posted other conspiracies about the 2020 election being stolen via "cyber warfare." Related: 18 Major Global Events That American Media Is Ignoring Right Now, And Why They Actually Matter To Us Far-right conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer (who reportedly traveled with Trump during the 2024 campaign trail) reacted to Trump's conspiracy repost with a laughing emoji.

"We live in the most ridiculous possible world," another person wrote. "If Biden had said something like this, his entire cabinet would have invoked the 25th within the hour, and rightfully so," Reddit user Nerevarine91 wrote, referring to the Constitution's 25th Amendment that allows the president to be removed from office if deemed "unfit to serve."
