While we are in this Greek Mythology moment, may I remind you that Emma Thompson is adapting Pat Barker’s take on The Iliad, and she’s struggled to get it made bc the focus on what acts of war against women and survival thereafter actually look like (the core of Barker’s narrative) is too intense.

Now expect self-congratulatory pats on their own backs from the mainstream elite claiming to have defeated the far right, missing that it was only popular by contradistinction thanks to their own actions, that Burnham has sent many bad signals in this respect and that its politics are now mainstream
