When was the first middle-finger used to denote contempt in a (mainstream) film? I don't know but there is an instance of it in Sergio Leone's 1971 Giù la testa (Duck, You Sucker / A Fistful of Dynamite).
This was perpetrated by Rod Steiger. In this film he and James Coburn also make a solid case that Keanu Reeves' accent in Bram Stoker's Dracula was not even close to being the worst in film history.

Verbindungen zwischen #AfD und Nachwuchs-#Nazis sieht die Regierung auf Anfrage nicht, dabei sind diese Verbindungen nicht von der Hand zu weisen, wie der Artikel in der #taz zeigt.

AfD und Junge Neonazis: Distanzierung Fehlanzeige
Die Bundesregierung behauptet, es gebe keine strukturellen Verbindungen zwischen AfD und Nachwuchs-Nazis. Das ist in mehrfacher Hinsicht falsch.

Good to see at least someone's calling legislators out for their hypocrisy.

Legendrian doubles, twist spuns, and clusters
Let $λ$ be a Legendrian link in standard contact $\mathbb{R}^3$, such that $L_1$, $L_2$ are two exact fillings of $λ$ and $φ$ is a Legendrian loop of $λ$. We study fillability and isotopy characterizations of Legendrian surfaces in standard contact $\mathbb{R}^5$ built from the above data by doubling or twist spinning; denoting them $Λ(L_1,L_2)$ or $Σ_φ(λ)$ respectively. In the case of doubles $Λ(L_1,L_2)$, if the sheaf moduli $\mathcal{M}_1(λ)$ admits a cluster structure, we introduc…
