i really have no patience whatsoever for people who are scared of muslims having elected office

Simply do not understand this new definition of film criticism where your opinion counts less the more you know about the source material.

lots of people are confused about The Odyssey because they think it’s about war and trauma actually it’s about honor, which used to be important

More cops have been arrested for using flock cameras to stalk women than there are transgender athletes in youth sports.

if you’re mad about Odyssey spoilers, too bad! you’ve literally had like 3000 years to read it

keep Lupita as Clytemnestra tbh Pattinson, Holland, and Chalamet can mud wrestle for Orestes

ok the Odyssey was pretty good, now what director is gonna be brave enough to do the Oresteia?

IMO the most prevailing message of both the Iliad and the Odyssey is: it matters that we keep telling these stories. Nolan made a series of choices about the ways in which he told them. I don’t agree with all of them, but it represents the time and place in which it was told.

yeah my scholarly take on Nolan’s Odyssey is that the “original” intent of this story was to entertain and commemorate, and this adaptation accomplishes that

crazy how if you’re a girl and you get good grades as kid they let you raw dog autism

must the stupid also be evil

Its not a hot take but man the way the word "content" is used these days. A vile bit of late stage capitalist propaganda, lumping all forms of human creativity and expression into a single wastebin teaching the public to treat all art as disposable.

Can't think of a thing that will radicalize a generation faster than "you've gotta let that old man in the corner over there see what's inside those pants before you play Kindergarten volleyball."

An initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play

diy trt is weirdly popular among cis men recently and they are going to have a really nasty shock when they discover what the human body does when you have too much testosterone

It’s important to understand that when 1.2 million Americans are dying from a disease, any government action is excessive and tyrannical, but if a dozen trans women want to play soccer no government action can go far enough

A new study out of Canada looked at four youth gender clinics. Out of 445 patients only four who started gender affirming hormone therapy ceased taking it, and only one did so due to a re-identification with their birth sex. assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

A New Study from Canada Again Finds Less Than 1 Percent of Trans Youth Detransition - Assigned Media

Out of 445 patients across four gender clinics only one who started hormone therapy stopped due to a change in gender identity.

this is generally part of a broader conservative goal to kill women's sports so girls are more docile and feminine with trans panic the spice on top

so does the entire DSA join the Antifa Caliphate at once or is it gonna go chapter by chapter?

Idk maybe it's time to examine the role that competitive sports plays in a fascist society when people are suggesting children should be molested just to uphold the sanctity of "fairness" in them

drunk driving may kill a lot of people, but it also helps a lot of people get their dopamine hit, so, it;s impossible to say if its bad or not,

I am going through Bram Stoker’s earliest notes on DRACULA today - they include a list of the powers and features of the Count (then named “Wampyr” before Stoker stumbled on “Dracula”), many of which are never elucidated in the book…

Joyce would be banned for posting hole on day 1, then make 17 burner accounts just for arguing

there literally are no good-faith concerns about trans girls participating in high school sports. it is children playing games with their friends, its about confidence and relationship-building. let kids play with their friends.

Michael Hobbes@michaelhobbes.bsky.social · 7d ago

Good-faith concern on this issue would be going, "hmm, professional sports leagues should probably have some standards in place to ensure trans competitors aren't getting an unfair advantage," googling for 5 minutes, realizing every sports league already has those standards and dropping it.

conservatives truly have no gods but dunning and kruger

i got to the chapter in Jerusalem that is written in the style of Finnegan’s Wake and i feel like i understand how reading feels for dyslexic people
