"lock in" is probably one of the most important phrases to enter the public lexicon in the 2020s

my favorite part about this wc was seeing people who have never watched futbol bat crazy for any player and do blorbo politics for them while said players have probably defended one or two rapists and/or domestic abusers

#and by favourite it obviously means least favorite

my worst habit as a writer is that i lovveeeeee to expand on families as character and worldbuilding but then i have to sit here like. is there any possible way for me to introduce "has an aunt whos a postal worker and single mother trying to bounce back from a recent divorce' into the narrative. can i naturally drop my aunt lore. its important to me.

several asks in my inbox about the nolan odyssey now that it's out so i will make my One Obligatory Post and so that i can be free to pass through the gate of false dreams and never think about it again

personally i have stopped caring about the movie itself in terms of whether it's a "good" version of the odyssey. there are things i have heard about it that i think are kind of dumb choices to make but i also like my odysseus to suck bigly and unrepentenly and tbh the version of odysseus in my head is not a very homeric one at all! it's more informed by things like the philoctetes and the aeneid because i personally find those depictions more interesting. there are also things i've heard that intrigue me but i refuse to pay money to see this movie

what i find is more important to focus on is the conversations about things like the treatment of shooting locations or the fucking iranian artifacts turned into jewlery for an american actress to wear while the us is actively waging war against iran. just as any ancient telling of odysseus's story, the nolan odyssey does not exist in a vacuum. i'm sure there are interesting things to analyze in the movie as a story but personally the issue that concerns me more is the analysis of this movie as a way for the classics to once again be interpreted and used by someone from a powerful colonizing nation for entertainment while actively appropriating aspects of other cultures. like it feels like heavy handed satire at this point except it's real. if we're going to give this movie critical attention i just think this is more important to think about than whether the movie is "good"

also i think the trojan horse looks dumb as hell and troy 2004 did a way better job at it. which is saying something.

jfc tennis just mandated that every player on the wta tour has to undergo genetic sex testing. that's like. thousands of players.

Following cultural tides, the women's tennis tour is mandating a strict new eligibility requirement.

tennis has anyways been the women's sport with the most mainstream cultural cachet, its also the home of some of the most regressive and visible sexism re:skirt mandates for female players that existed till 2019 before serena williams dared them to fine her for wearing a catsuit. the other thing is that martina navratilova is a massive terf.

we're going from the "gender challenges" and restrictions on testosterone levels to straight up gene tests, following the lead of the ioc.

listening to straight women talk about their boyfriends is insane. it's never a normal story

for those unaware today india experienced one of its biggest protests in half a decade. there were protests all over the nation for various causes but the major one was in delhi. all we asked for was the resignation of the education minister because he's failed the students of this nation time & time again. but we were met with brutality, the police had barricaded the main site of protest (jantar mantar). metro stations were shutdown, the public was restrained from reaching the protest site and all the adjoining areas had signal jammers to make sure the crowd had no access to constant updates. they had us blocked from all the sides. they were lathi (baton) charging students from one side & releasing tear gas from the other. you couldn't walk 100 m on streets without having a tear gas shell thrown at you. there were many students, women & kids bleeding — some from their head. some couldn't walk anymore. the police had removed their nameplates & acted with full impunity to resort to unprecedented levels of violence. they were pelting stones at us, beating up people for no reason, forcefully detaining them and attacking us constantly with tear gas & rubber bullets. they wouldn't let you exit either. the crowd was peaceful & looking out for each other yet they were met with violence. i made a friend who was all alone & she asked to join me & my friend because a policeman wouldn't leave her alone. he constantly prodded her for personal info, invited her back to the jeep saying they have food there, wouldn't stop following her around. you couldn't call or ask anyone for help, we were left to fend for ourselves & be on a constant lookout if you did not want to be beaten up to death by police. all for what? asking a resignation? shame on this country.
