@Aika__06__@AlejandroCence2 Yes, and they seem not to know their own country. But I was talking about the guy who posted the video here, @AlejandroCence2, who has either very limited experience visiting the US or chooses to go along with BS.
@76Anabellan Creo que era la única que no sabía lo que iba a ver, pero para no sentirse tonta se contó la historia de que ella era la única que se daba cuenta.
@DrewbieWitt@AlejandroCence2 The best thing about the States is that you can choose that (which is neat) or what this "surprised" baldy seems to have found across the ocean.
Just spent the last 8 hours filming and editing my Odyssey review, which drops tomorrow morning!
The biggest problem isn't the casting. It's how the film changes the meaning of Homer's original story.
Ya hay programa del III Congreso Internacional de #Literatura Mexicana Siglos XVII-XXI: Rescate-edición, estudios literarios e historias. Échenle un ojo.
Andaré en la Mesa 32: #Cienciaficción, disidencias y cuerpos #queer; en el Instituto de Investigaciones Filológicas @IIFL_UNAM.

Hot take: Lupita is not ugly, and they could have at least made her look like this for The Odyssey, but they purposely decided to make her look terrible to stir up controversy.
@JulieCFrost Sounds like a 25-year-old Portland brat fresh from an Ivy League college who just launched her literary agent website with the aim of changing the world, one piece of garbage at a time... because who needs money?
“En la obra de Tolkien no hay mujeres. Se nota que fue un autor de su época.”
Galadriel: su mera presencia infundía terror al hombre mas fuerte, siendo capaz de intimidar y doblegar sus mentes. Una de las elfas mas sabias y poderosas de la Tierra Media.
Éowyn: se carga al Rey Brujo de Angmar sin pestañear y a su bestia alada, salvando así la Tierra Media.
Arwen: rechaza su inmortalidad por una vida junto a su gran amor Aragorn. Uno de los mayores actos de sacrificio.
Lúthien: fue la heroína elfa mas grande de El Silmarillion. Desafió al dios oscuro Morgoth para rescatar a su amado Beren, derrotó a Sauron, y eligió renunciar a su inmortalidad para compartir el destino mortal con su esposo.
Melian: una Maia que fundó el reino de Doriath y lo protegió.
Haleth: después de que los Orcos acabaran con su padre y su hermano, se convirtió en la líder de los Haladin, y mantuvo viva a su gente durante siete días de asedio.
Pero sí, supongo que las mujeres de Tolkien son floreros y él era un machista.
Solo un ignorante puede atreverse a hacer tal afirmación.
Bret Weinstein said something that won’t leave my head:
For the first time in 300,000 years of human evolution, we removed the cost from the single biggest reward nature ever invented — sex and pair-bonding.
Reliable birth control + abortion = you can now cash the evolutionary lottery ticket without paying the 20-year mortgage of pregnancy, diapers, sleepless nights, and college funds.
Result? An entire generation of 18–35-year-olds walking around with the energy, libido, hormones, and protective instincts that evolution spent millions of years calibrating for child-rearing… but with zero actual children. That energy didn’t disappear. It got redirected.
Heather Heying’s observation is brutal: young women especially began treating ideologies the exact way evolution wired them to treat babies. Climate change, social justice, whatever the cause of the month is — it gets defended with literal mama-bear ferocity, the same neurochemistry that once guarded a toddler from predators now guards an abstract idea from wrong think.
And now Elon is promising the second shoe is about to drop: AI-driven abundance will make money as “free” as sex became in the 1970s. Both of evolution’s primary carrots — mating and resource acquisition suddenly cost almost nothing.
Weinstein’s ice-cold question: When producing and protecting actual children is no longer the central organizing principle of adult life… and when creating wealth is no longer required for status, security, or attracting a mate…What is left to give a human life direction, meaning, and structure?
Are we about to become a species that invents bigger and bigger dragons to slay just to feel alive? Or do we drift into total listlessness? This 3:52 clip is genuinely haunting.
Watch it all the way through, then tell me — honestly — does this explain the absolute intensity we’re seeing in culture right now, or is Bret completely missing something?
Real answers only. Quote-post if it hits you in the chest like it hit me.
