I know I don’t post much kpop anymore but you know what was a generational run? When TXT released: Lovesong, Anti Romantic, Loser=Lover, and Chasing That Feeling. Still incredibly emotive and just great songs.

People who are experts and have read The Odyssey and The Iliad, what are you thoughts on the casting choices in Christopher Nolan's upcoming movie? I don't feel great about them but I'm also not the most knowledgable on the original material.

I’m gonna be honest I think the cast is close to perfect. Matt Damon is probably the only Hollywood star who could play Odysseus in that Jason Bourne was the epitome of melancholy action hero twenty years ago. Also the actress who plays Circe is excellent and I’m sure Bernthal is gonna give a strange but good portrayal of Menelaus.

Interesting. Good point on the Jason Bourne background. It is certainly going to generate a lot of talk when it comes out. My brother is still mourning the fact Sean Bean wasn’t cast again but I guess he’s a lot older now and I’m not sure I’ve ever heard of a dude being cast as the same character in two different movies in two different decades. Would’ve been cool lol.

#homer's odyssey #homer's iliad #the odyssey #christopher nolan #now listen #i love me some nolan #but #idk about this movie #the more i see the trailers the less excited i become #which isn't meant to happen surely #in contrast i wasn't very excited about the Dune part 3 bc i do not like Timothee #but i gotta admit he looks really great in it and i WILL be seeing that one in the cinemas for sure

Asian parents: where does their constant need to compare their child with another come from? Why is that such a Thing. It’s terrible. My Indian guy friend is unfathomably successful and wonderful and still considered the family flop because he’s not married yet. His siblings are favoured because they are married and provided grandkids. I am considered the family flop too for the same reason. It’s getting so tiring. Funny thing is, we all know who is doing the caring when they are older. Interesting.

#are ppl only valuable for childbearing #I never heard of unconditional love from Asian parents #sounds like a myth #congrats if you got the unicorn tho

I just read this and it is ridiculously cool. So that one class has won 3 Nobel Prizes and 3 Million dollars. GOAT Squad.

#teachers should be paid more #they are so important #i had a fcking awesome chemistry teacher who made me so confident about my intelligence #STEM for the W

Remember when a fan accused Tom Morello of becoming too political? Lol. It's like people who are only discovering that The Strokes are political in 2026. Julian has been That Guy for more than a decade. And considering his background, we should be grateful he chose his fame and opportunities to make music and not be an all-round-terrible rich kid.

#the strokes #julian casablancas #amazing he turned out the way he did tbh #amazing he's still alive #and not in rehab #or washed #he still got it #musically and performance wise #of course he can't be as spritely as he was when he was 22yo #but i still think he's the coolest mf #enduring band crush forever and ever

I saw someone write "I don't know what Julian Casablancas is singing but I love the way he sings it." And ain't that the truth haha.

#mumbles casablancas #the strokes #julian casablancas #Falling out of love - well it has completely won me over by day 2 lol #i should've known to trust julian #but i do hope there's other songs on the new album that don't rely so heavily on vocal processing like that

Less autotune please, Fab.

I change my mind. I love Falling Out Of Love. It's so soothing and lovely.

#the strokes #not for everyone #but i like julian's songwriting #i assume it's him

2001: The Strokes release "Is This It" on September 11th.

2020: The Strokes release "The New Abnormal" as Covid shut down the entire world.

2026: The Strokes will release 'Reality Awaits" on June 26th. There is literally a war going on. They are either the luckiest band alive for surviving all this or the unluckiest band alive for traversing all this.
