Ohtani, stop hitting leadoff 2026 ✋🛑

[America @Americaenlv]

Shohei Ohtani needs to bat 2nd or 3rd for the #Dodgers

1. Quality ABs > Quantity
1a. He’s still getting a high quantity

2. Homers with guys on > Homers with empty bags

3. He doesn’t steal anymore

4. Pitching at home = 1st inning rush to the dugout to catch breath/put on gear

@ShamsCharania Great trade for all 3 teams

[Spencer Pratt @spencerpratt]

Good for him. The communist DSA is hijacking the Democrat party from respectable common sense liberals (90% of my friends and family). We all need to unite against the socialists. Biggest threat to humanity in the history of civilization.

Yeah, they’re really “trying” lol you’re fucking stupid

[Michael Knowles @michaeljknowles]

What's most striking about the woke aspects of Nolan's Odyssey is not their inclusion but their magnitude. The casting isn't just colorblind; it's precisely, clinically "diverse." The actress who plays Helen isn't just black; she describes herself as "dark as night." Achilles, the most fearsome warrior in the world, is recast as another warrior played by a diminutive "trans" woman. Of all the great versions of the poem, Nolan chose the most feminist translation as his source text. It's all just so over the top.

The director who made one of the most conservative films of our time, The Dark Night, seems not just to have accepted the standards of his woke contemporaries but even to have exceeded them. It's puzzling, until one remembers the subject: Odysseus, the symbol of cunning, guile, trickery. Given the Academy's adoption of DEI requirements in 2024, has Nolan perhaps chosen not merely to depict but to imitate his hero?

"The face that launched a thousand ships."

People are saying, "Don't blame Lupita Nyong'o. The casting decision wasn't hers."

But she chose to accept the role, right?

Imagine if a white actor decided to play Michael Jackson, Barack Obama, or T'Challa.

They're saying The Odyssey is fiction. So, Black Panther is a comic book.

Can a white person play Black Panther?

Helen is one of the most important characters in The Odyssey. Her beauty plays a huge role in the story. She was Greek.

Casting a Black actress ruins everything.

She's a good actress, and people may find her beautiful. But that's not what Helen of Troy was like.

Woke Hollywood is destroying thousand-year-old history.

@SirBylHolte Blacks are the loudest. It’s obvious. Diversity always means BLACK.

[Byl Holte @SirBylHolte]

Can we finally stop calling it "race-swapping" and just call it what it really is:

BLACKWASHING.

Because the direction almost always seems to go one way:

White to Black.

Greek to Black.

Egyptian to Black.

Historical figures, fictional characters, and cultural icons from every corner of the world are only reimagined through the same DARK lens.

And yes, they tried to break the pattern with a Brown Snow White...

...but she arrived in the middle of a wave that already included Black Ariel, Black Captain America, Black Cleopatra, and countless other race changes.

Maybe this is what the left means when it talks about "reparations."

Not handing out checks...

...but giving blax the chance to earn - at the expense of every Western culture on earth.

[America @Americaenlv]

@SirBylHolte Preach! I connected with Kobe, MJ, Will Smith, Nas, Ella Fitzgerald, and Louie Armstrong growing up as a Mexican Filipino!

Black community is so stuck on skin color when it’s about our inside traits as Dr. King said!

[Byl Holte @SirBylHolte]

I was “black” when I read The Odyssey in high school...

...but somehow I never imagined the characters as looking like me.

Why?

Because they were GREEK characters.

I didn’t need Odysseus to look like me to appreciate his story.

I didn’t need Helen of Troy to look like me to understand her importance.

They were Greek characters from a specific culture, with a specific history.

And this is what Hollywood keeps getting wrong.

We don’t identify with characters because they look like us.

We connect with them because we recognize something human in them - their struggles, their courage, their flaws, their values.

Odysseus is a GREEK hero.

Helen of Troy is a GREEK woman.

Their identities are part of what makes their stories meaningful.

Casting Colombians and Africans and Indians as Greek ISN'T "representation."

It’s just insulting.

Stop it.

[Jon Del Arroz | Sci-Fi And Fantasy @jondelarroz]

The cringiest changes in The Odyssey weren't the 3-minute cameos of Ellen Page and Lupita Nyong'o:

1. Odysseus at the beginning of the movie is nearly in tears and demands Penelope remarry if he doesn't make it back -- literally acting like a cuck, that was not the motivation here.
2. Penelope at the end of the movie gives a feminist rant about how she has the "experience" to be the monarch and the fact it has to be a male King leading is "stupid."
3. Odysseus spends the whole movie crying about the Trojan War and how "bad" it was and how it's bringing about the end of the Bronze Age and Greek civilization, which is complete nonsense.

There was no reason for any of this. It was just a complete rewrite that made zero sense in Greek culture. Christopher Nolan 2026 wokeified it.

@G0LFISHUNT @RogerSeheult @TragicWarrior And Americans are healthier than ever today? Your name is literally golfishunt. One of the big lobbies of DST.

This ain’t hard. Standard time is the best. Is AZ complaining? I didn’t think so. They love it.

EVERYONE hated DST when it first passed.

[Roger Seheult, MD @RogerSeheult]

Who has historically lobbied for longer or permanent Daylight Saving Time?

• ⛳ National Golf Course Owners Association – More evening golf = more revenue.

• 🏪 National Association of Convenience Stores (NACS) – More evening shopping and fuel sales.

• 🥾 Sporting Goods Manufacturers Association (now SFIA) – More outdoor recreation and equipment sales.

• 🏖️ Tourism & hospitality industry – More evening leisure spending.

• 🛍️ Retail businesses & shopping centers – Longer evening shopping hours.

• 🍔 Restaurant & fast-food interests – Increased evening customer traffic.

• 🔥 Barbecue industry (Kingsford/Clorox, Hearth, Patio & Barbecue Association) – Historically supported extending DST for increased grilling season.

• 🍬 Candy industry – Famously lobbied to keep DST through Halloween to boost trick-or-treating and candy sales.

• 🏛️ Florida Chamber of Commerce – Major advocate for permanent DST because of tourism and commerce.

The science organizations have largely taken the opposite position:

• American Academy of Sleep Medicine
• American Medical Association
• National Sleep Foundation
• European Biological Rhythms Society
Their recommendation is permanent Standard Time, citing better alignment with human circadian biology, sleep, cardiovascular health, and safety.
The debate isn't simply more evening light vs. more morning light. It's increasingly becoming commercial interests vs. circadian science.

@ContraPoints Woke feminist likes woke feminist movie (without reading the actual source material)

Go figure.

@clairlemon Of course, Claire says “my dude” because only men are mad about Nolan’s casting… great generalization from an emotional female!

ALL females are so emotional and they try to be comedically condescending toward men… it never works. Females simply aren’t funny.

…nor intelligent

@Hypno_gasman If you want to respond to something I've said, please go ahead. But please refrain from putting words into my mouth or mind reading.

@hubermanlab Thank you Dr. Huberman for speaking out after reading my posts to you!!!

Don’t you lobbies are affecting this? Golf Courses want DST! Doctors and Schools want Standard… I know who I trust
