hearing anything about the nolan odyssey is so funny. it's like "they cut the extremely important and infamous nobody scene" "the cyclops is a giant puppet that they put in an actual historical cave + gave circe animatronics for her pig transformation instead of cgi" "they dumped plastic skeletons in an environmentally protected location they were not supposed to be in" "they recreated ancient greek instruments in order to have an accurate score" "all of odysseus's agency is basically gone" "anne hathaway actually learned how to weave ancient looms" "the women in this movie are treated like shit" "they actually buried actors alive to get those underworld shots" "did you see what the fuck zendaya was fucking wearing holy shit you can't DO THAT, MA'AM" "what do you mean there was a legitimate epic the musical reference" "NOT A SINGLE FUCKING GREEK WAS CAST IN THIS MOVIE"
like did nolan have two guys standing at his side at all times whispering ideas in his ear and one told the truth and the other told lies and they didnt tell him which was which until they wrapped production cause
Free service with ads: Well, if I'm not paying for it they have to foot the bill somehow.
Paid service with no ads: Well, if they're not funding it with ad revenue, they need to charge us something.
Paid service with ads: Well that's bullshit.
"We used to be a paid service without ads, but now we're putting ads in it! If you want the ad-free version you have to pay more for preeeeemium": Fuck you fuck you fuck you
I miss when ads were a single click and then they’re gone. Now every ad has a minimum of three phases where you watch a video, exit the still frame of fake gameplay, and then exit the app download. That doesn’t even touch on the ones that forcibly take you to another app after opening a tab in safari without you ever touching the screen.
I hate advertising. I hate that you can’t do anything without companies jumping down your throat with mostly bullshit ads. I hate that billboards exist. I hate that every company unanimously decided to make their ads longer and longer. I hate that ad blockers try to charge you money and there are in app purchases to remove ads. I hate that my attention has become commodified. I hate that there’s nothing I can do about it.
I know she doesn't know what "the maximise button" is so I told her "click the square at the top right" and she clicked...the printer icon...in the middle of the toolbar. and I'm just like okay. this isn't a technology thing you are flunking basic shapes and directions. I'm turning off your computer and getting you a block puzzle. you have a master's degree
i was at an event last night in california and i went to the bar to order wine bc wine was like, a thing, and i looked at the menu and saw i was completely out of my depth bc idk any wine names, so i turned to my right and there was a man in a gorgeous suit standing at the bar beside me and i said “do you know anything about wine?” and he said “a little, yes!” i told him i liked white and dry wines and asked if he’d order for me. he asked the server for two glasses and had one poured for each of us and then he clinked his glass on mine but he didn’t take a sip, he just watched me taste mine and then he asked what i thought and i said “it’s pretty good, but like i said, i wouldn’t know.” he laughed and told me to have a good time & i walked away. fifteen minutes later i found out he’s the winemaker.
watched The Odyssey (2026) and i have to admit, in an otherwise very serious scene, i was fucking cackling when the gates of Troy opened and Agamemnon was just fucking stood there aurafarming like Darth Vader
ICE lowered its standards to build its ranks—and now blood has been spilled because of it.
Emily Singer at Daily Kos:
When the Trump administration announced it was lowering hiring standards and shortening the length of training for Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers so that the agency could have more warm bodies to aid in President Donald Trump’s racist mass deportation efforts, experts warned that the changes could have deadly consequences.
Sadly, those experts’ warnings are proving to be correct.
The Associated Press on Thursday night reported that close relatives to David Brouillette—the ICE agent who shot and killed a 25-year-old Colombian immigrant in Maine—describe him as a violent and mentally unstable man who should never have been given access to a gun or power.
According to the report, family members accused Brouillette “of attacking women in his life over the years, and one shared a voicemail with the AP from last winter in which he told her that he thought someone should slit her throat.”
Brouillette’s ex-wife, Ashley Brouillette, told the AP that he had been violent toward her, including one incident in which he threw boiling water at her while holding the couple’s daughter. She added that when he told her he was hired by ICE, she didn’t believe him because he had a history of psychiatric issues and she thought he was experiencing a mental health crisis.
Brouillette’s reported violent history could easily have been found if ICE had done a comprehensive background check.
According to the AP, Brouillette’s violent conduct was detailed in “hundreds of family court records,” which accused Brouillette of stalking, harassment, and physical and verbal abuse. Another relative told AP that Brouillette had been also diagnosed with “severe bipolar disorder,” had been hospitalized multiple times, and twice attempted suicide.
What’s more, Ashley Brouillette told the Portland Press Herald that she had personally warned her ex-husband’s previous superiors in the military of his issues, yet he had remained on the job.
But ICE was so desperate to deport people of color that they hired a man like Brouillette, who, according to both the AP and Portland Press Herald, admitted to his ex-wife and daughter that he was the officer who shot and killed Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero, the Colombian immigrant who was legally in the United States. Reportedly, he even asked them to lie about what happened.
David Brouillette, the ICE goon who killed Joan Sebastián Guerrero, has a long history of violence, especially towards women.
