Ok - Now what

Avoiding the horrors by reading horror. I like comics and movies and books and history. I don't like politics but it's happening to me anyway. Warning: bad at social media.

Tbh this is maybe the most anti-free market administration since World War 2. They tax imports, pick winners and losers (often based on proximity to the president), attempt to dictate central bank policy, manipulate equity markets, block industries on ideological grounds. Not laissez-faire!

Speaking of “Americans being forced to buy products that are often crappier and way more expensive due to MAGA protectionism concealed by a thin fig leaf of so-called national security concerns”:

This seems a little unnecessarily aggressively. Politicians are often constrained by expectations about reactions by the public, courts, and other actors. But those institutions change, and you don't know what they'll *actually* do unless you test them. I don't see why that's "wrecker shit"?

Daniel Gilmore

(Borrowed from @nutedawn.bsky.social) Not only is this just an extremely ignorant, social media brained statement, but coming from a political reporter who should absolutely know better about the real limits of "just do stuff," it is extremely cynical and borderline wrecker type shit as well.

Imo it's interesting that "The Odyssey" and this year's "28 Years Later: The Bone Temple" reflect very high profile acknowledgements of the end of a certain vision of society. Something is definitely in the air.

Also like, Nolan's Odyssey is not Homer's Odyssey. Or rather, it's an adaptation just like likely thousands before him. Some of his additions make the story more resonant with current concerns. But it's fair to criticize those additions!

Emily Wilson is not the co-writer of Nolan's THE ODYSSEY. She didn't produce it or show up to set ready to be the high authority on all things adaptation. He read her translation, liked it, and turned to it for guidance in writing. She can say whatever she wants about the movie, calm down.
