(goverment voice) we need to protect the children from pornography so our plan is to remove their eyes so they would never see something so traumatic. if you are against removing children's eyes you are basically a pedophile

Now that everyone is discussing Nolan's Odyssey movie, I feel like it's a good time to let non-Italians know that the production dumped plastic props into the Italian sea. Weirdly enough I could not find any article in English about it but it's a fucking problem nonetheless.

I might translate this article later today. This one was the most complete one, even in Italian news it's not talked about that much.

L'Odissea di Nolan tra "scheletri spazzatura" e relitti: Arpa al lavoro in Sicilia, che succede

Non è la prima volta che la produzione solleva un vespaio in Sicilia. A Lipari una squadra di sub sarebbe però già impegnata a bonificare i

They dumped plastic skeletons in environmentally protected areas, against the literal contracts they had to sign to get the permits to film in environmentally protected areas. Like they not only did a bad ecological thing that freaked out some divers, they literally broke environmental protection laws and their contract with the Italian government

Nolan's Odyssey: What Homer Said

Christopher Nolan's new film of "The Odyssey" has met with much controversy, not only from transphobic and racist dipshits but also from people with brains, involving actual problems and film criticism.

But what did Homer, the author of the original poem have to say? We at FIJMU headed to the backflowing stream of the river Oceanus to ask. Offering sacrifices of a barren heifer to Hades and a black ram just to the Poet himself, we spoke to the disembodied head of Homer and showed him the film on an iPhone. Please note that as Nolan intended, we used a phone that was exactly 70mm wide.

Here's what the old poet had to say:

I felt like Matt Damon was miscast opposite Hathaway, for sure. Quite good were Tom Holland as his son and the dude playing the cyclops. Nolan's use of IMAX though lacked the depth of field for landscapes of Greece. And what use are all the practical effects when CGI mars them? I wish that creative-minded art director Tarsem had made this. Immortals 3D was fuckin' rad. And that comes from blind old Homer.

He had no comment on the diversity of race and gender in the film's adaptation, but did explain in great and graphic detail his sexual fantasies about every single cast member, as well as several of the ships, palaces, and some of the dirt.

Truly, the king of all poets.

What's the most fascinating to me about the replies on my old-man-maga-ice-hat post is the people who genuinely think the interaction didn't happen because the man in question ostensibly shares their political beliefs and nobody - NOBODY - who shares their hideous bigoted beliefs could possibly behave badly in a public setting. I guess I should have anticipated that reaction from the stupid sheep who jerk it to the politics tag on Tumblr.com

Thanks to all the retail/food industry workers/alumni who have reading comprehension skills and have touched grass recently <3 Glad to have you on my blog!

A 75 yo man proudly came into the cafe wearing an Ultra Maga hat. I excused my barista from the register to handle the transaction.

"The hat is customizable," he said, struggling with the velcro patch on the front. "If I need it, I have an ICE one too. I pick based off the business i walk into."

"Customizable is an important hat descriptor," I said. "what can I get you?"

"You wouldn't believe how offended people get these days," he said. "And I'm supposed to do something about it if you're offended? You chose to be offended!"

"We all have hundreds of thousands of decisions everyday," I said. I thickened my accent. "That's what my stepdad always said. But I can make one easier - we have a delicious Ethiopian roast available."

"Like if I told you you have a bull ring," he said, "because bulls have rings in their noses. Is that offensive?"

I laughed. "I've heard that before."

"It's a joke, but people get offended. Maybe you're offended."

I looked at him. I smiled. "You aren't trying to offend me though, right?"

Of course he was. I was being friendly and the friendlier I was, the faster he switched topics. He was saying anything inflammatory he could think of to see if I'd take the bait. After about 20 minutes of my redirecting and deescalating, he settled into a more normal interaction. He took up too much of my time showing me a product I'd feigned mild interest in to get him to stop talking about getting accused of inappropriate behavior at work. When we finally disengaged, he spent 10 minutes trying to catch my eye again. When he failed, he left.

There's this new breed of customer who insists on trying to incite political conversation through their clothing and, when that doesnt work, their snide little comments. If I owned my own business, maybe I would have given the guy the fight he wanted. But I work for a corporation and I love paying my bills so I deescalated.

Anyone wearing that type of shit and preying on workers for their own spank bank material is a brainless fucking sheep.

something i want to mention because i’ve seen it growing as a trend online is that not only do people do this just for their own gratification, but watch for glasses. smart glasses are a growing segment of the consumer market, and creeps like this are harassing people in public in order to gather content without the victims being aware they’re being filmed

good job on how you handled it, op!
