You’re doing the whole, “everything I don’t like is communist” thing that the right wing does. And no - again - it’s not feasible, especially since Homer was using source material of his own to craft the story. Strawmanning racism into the argument is just gross.

Ok but no one - and I mean NO ONE is suggesting that the Odyssey be 100% faithful to the source material. It wouldn’t be feasible in movie format. But your connecting it to white supremacy smacks of bad faith agitprop.

It’s literally what you said. bsky.app/profile/cour...

I’m sorry. I completely misread your “boss move” statement as sarcasm.

The discourse around this movie has gotten ridiculous. Every criticism about the casting is racist, experts are being mocked for pointing out its flaws, and the white knights have crawled out of the woodwork to go full Blue MAGA in its defense. Why is everyone here punching down for Nolan?

Watched the newish He-Man movie and it was just unapologetically pure fun. Self-deprecating (maybe to a flaw), and an avalanche of nostalgia. Set your gaydar to max and be amazingly entertained.

We just need to modulate their tune into D minor - the saddest of all keys, which will have the added benefit of getting them out of A minor.

I don’t know, but I do know that we lied a lot during the GWOT and when I was working in vet suicide prevention, more than once it was mentioned that they were worried their families would get screwed if they did it. “Don’t give them that one last lie to tell,” was a thing I’ve had to say.

Totally fair, and I’m 100% with you that it’s unacceptably fucked up.

Yeah man, we’re stuck in a post-truth reality and it’s honestly really hard for honest people to deal with. I’ve tried to try to just look for the lies and how the’ve evolved. Sort of like how they said Watergate would’ve been a 12hr headline and then a nothingburger in our time.

I appreciate the good faith response, James. Thank you. I would counter with the POW/MIA Flag propaganda of the post-Vietnam era.

You’re not wrong at all. I’m just pointing out that our amp has always had an 11 to turn up to.

I hate to be that guy, but we’ve done this kinda shit for decades. It’s grotesque, inhuman, and downright evil. But it’s also as American as apple pie and school shootings.

Remember Actraiser? The one where you basically played as a god, built your civilization up, and would go jump into side-scrolling action to clear more land for your civilization? That game fueled a lot of my early-onset megalomania

I’m not gonna lie this whole, “the DSA doesn’t care about Black people” thing feels like a psyop.

Oh we’re posting our Torties? Here’s Amber - I promise she has all four legs.
