Rand Paul and the rest of the GOP are just vile. This man was and is a hero, and they're slandering and persecuting him to deflect the blame from their own stupid response.

For @inverse.com, I wrote about one of my favorite dystopian sci-fi thrillers of the early '70s, SOYLENT GREEN, and how the big reveal in the movie was nowhere to be found in the source novel, MAKE ROOM! MAKE ROOM! by Harry Harrison: www.inverse.com/entertainmen...

Believe the hype: THE ODYSSEY might be the biggest spectacle you'll see this year. Christopher Nolan's epic tells a profound, tragic tale of humanity at war with itself and the world around it. A truly monumental film. My review at @moviefone.bsky.social: www.moviefone.com/news/movie-r...
