You can/should read Emily Wilson's latest take on the Odyssey, but I'm logging on to convey my hairdresser's reaction. She was AGHAST that Nolan, with his million $ budget, gave Matt Damon ONLY 6 hair extensions. As a result, his hair did not blow around properly, & that ruined the film for her.

I'm a Ukrainian-American living in Kyiv and I literally got bombed a few hours ago and my city is still on fire and dozens are dead. This happens every week or so just in Kyiv. It's worse in other places. I sure as fuck am entitled to push the United States into helping Ukraine defend itself.

Who started the war Diane? WHO STARTED THE WAR? Is Ukraine in NATO? No. Was Ukraine even close to joining NATO? No. Is the US allowing Russia to batter cities and murder Ukrainians? Yes. In a way there is no point even engaging with such BS. But these tankie views are murderous & vile.

*standing up on the plane* okay so the first thing you need to consider when interrogating if Frodo and Sam from Lord of the Rings are an example of romantic love is to understand Tolkien's context; what did same sex love mean to an academic and a veteran of world war one in the middle of the 20th c

drunk girl trying to tell her friends that she thinks they are “weekend at Bernie’s” with McConnell, but she has got completely the wrong movie and keeps calling it “doing a Fish Called Wanda” with him and I’m dying

ABC News pumped out a horrific piece of anti-Ukrainian, pro-russian propaganda. It printed the lies of the Gauleiter of russian-occupied Zaporizhzhya region about an attack that never occurred. @ABC used a photo of the aftermath of a russian attack on Kyiv to worsen their crime against public trust.
