Ben Goldacre@bengoldacre.bsky.social · 2d agoSad to see people posting on social media negatively about Rod Liddle, who died yesterday. If I have disagreed with you very strongly in life - and you die - I hope I'll be either silent, or kind.
The largest funeral in Gaza history is being held today as the remains of 112 people from a single clan are laid to rest after being buried in rubble for three years. More than 300 people were killed in the strike by Israel, including 44 children and 37 women. The others were vaporized.
Gaza families bury 112 people recovered nearly three years after Israeli strikes
Remains recovered from beneath the rubble renew grief for families still searching for thousands missing in Gaza

More evidence that The Odyssey broke people's brains, because holy shit is this stupid
Great video from @michaelburns.bsky.social having the courage to actually dream up a just vision of the future is an absolute necessity in this moment if we actually want a better future. WE HAVE TO EXPAND OUR POLITICAL IMAGINATION FOLKS! youtu.be/RT1Q4qnHfTU?...

You start preaching on a plane I paid to be on, I'm definitely telling you to shut the fuck up, and shut up shutting up.
Important anti fascist skill to learn is being brave enough to yell "shut the fuck up" at someone in public
Hemant Mehta@friendlyatheist.com · last wk.Evangelist Whitney Lynn says she preaches on planes because she loves “a captive audience.” She's not alone. It's becoming a trend. If spreading your message requires listeners who can't escape, maybe it's not as compelling as you think. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/christian-...
This week at @secondwindgroup.com, I went long on “The Odyssey.” What Christopher Nolan understands about the core text, about the modern world, and about the swords and sandals genre as a whole. What we talk about when we talk about #TheOdyssey. WATCH: youtu.be/AC4ABA1hbRw?...

you know how embarrassing and desperate it is for an avengers movie to be a straight faced sequel to deadpool/wolverine? that movie was a shit post, now it's all 'dramatic and epic'? 😂 foh
The thing that is ignored is how much the Democratic Party benefitted from the free labor of young Black activists and organizers during that election cycle. When some of us pointed out how disaffected those organizers were in 24, we were called wreckers and yelled at, lol.
Nolan's ongoing fascination with Man's hubris and its deadly fusion with cutting edge death technologies is fully intact in "The Odyssey", and I can't stop thinking about it. We can either 'fix our hearts or die (pace Lynch), and the death awaiting us is excruciating. I fucking adored it.

Rowling is a ghoul among ghouls. Inciting ghouls. A disgusting person.
Shame on every outlet shining a light on that shitty AI generated Odyssey "film". Fuck Offffff
Another banger from @darrenmooney.bsky.social ,who understands Nolan on a deep level, and can communicate his insights effectively and enthusiastically enough to inspire new and exciting ways to engage Nolan's work. This video is fantastic, and I'm gonna go do a Nolan marathon now, byeeeeee
Darren Mooney@darrenmooney.bsky.social · 3w ago#TheOdyssey is opening this week, which is a good excuse at @SecondWindGroup.com to talk about Nolan in general on this week’s “Backdrop” episode. Taking a look at Nolan’s love affair with IMAX, practical effects, and how that reflects the films he makes. youtu.be/zvu-Fzl9m5E?...

It’s like when your food is taking a long time to come out so your server brings some free bread to apologize for the wait.
I think the worst thing about the dating pool right now is the amount of men that will try to befriend you while tryna fuck with a woman they know you are fucking with. That shit is so fucking weird and idk who raised yall, but that can get you [redacted] where I’m from lol
I hate this headline. I hate it so much. Let me tell you why. It makes it sound like the AI was "cast" in a movie, except the movie is being made by the same people who made Tilly, it's all in house, I might as well announce that Dan Olson has been cast as the host of a Folding Ideas doc.
