@godblesstoto The anti-troon version of the anti-scam channels like Kitboga. Great idea.

@DarthPeeking @BellaDO53044924 @Adrian_Hilton Ok. How about those still alive who have views worse than Ann’s? Oh, they aren’t white or female.

Utterly disgusting. You killed 255 British servicemen, 649 of your own Argentinians and 3 innocent civilians in that reckless, illegitimate, war of conquest of the British Falklands. Land discovered by the British. Land which has been British longer than your nation has existed. Land in which the indigenous population are British.

You think it’s fun to toy with this?

How many families were destroyed by your evil propaganda and war? How many children lost their fathers?

And not just British children by the way

@MahyarTousi I knew they were going to equalise because they absolutely dominated after our goal. I thought it would go ET with another goal. Didn’t expect their second before FT.

@KyleWOrton Is there a specific point where he turned god-awful? For me it was the Zelenskyy moment in the Oval. He’s been constantly shit since.

[Matt @MattsTheTweet]

@BurnsideWasTosh They’ve been looking to win ever since we got our goal. They were too focussed on cheating before then. Now they’ve found their balance - some cheating and some football

@ChrisAvellone @itsreallyjk Thanks for doing that. Rewards actual role play (skill investment).

Tom,

I've read your work and have enjoyed it. I'm also a longtime admirer of Nolan's films.

That said, I've expressed disappointment with some of the creative decisions surrounding The Odyssey, particularly aspects of the casting and dialogue.

I think there's a more balanced position here. If this film turns out to be as good as you believe it is, it will be despite those decisions, not because of them.

Nolan may very well have made a great film. I genuinely hope he has. I'll be seeing it with an open mind and will judge it on its own merits.

Where I think your argument falls short is in dismissing those who recognize that many of these choices are better understood as political decisions shaped by contemporary ideological pressures rather than purely artistic ones.

For years, governments, NGOs, universities, and major corporations have openly pursued policies aimed at redistributing what they describe as cultural representation and equity. Whether one supports those goals or not, this isn't a conspiracy theory. It's articulated plainly in their own standards, diversity frameworks, and institutional policies.

What many people find frustrating is not simply that these priorities exist, but that their influence is so often denied. That persistent insistence that obvious political considerations are merely organic artistic choices feels like gaslighting.

What critics say also carries far less weight than it once did. They overwhelmingly praised Star Wars: The Last Jedi, while audience reaction was deeply divided. Time and again, audiences have been told a film is a masterpiece only to discover that it places ideological messaging ahead of compelling storytelling. Fair or not, that history has eroded trust.

I'm approaching The Odyssey hoping it's every bit as good as you say it is. But I also think you should be more charitable toward people who have grown weary of seeing beloved stories repeatedly filtered through contemporary political priorities. Their skepticism was earned.

@NickDixon It’s a horrible country to be fair. Some countries are actually completely bad.

[Matt @MattsTheTweet]

Argentina is a scum country. They invade and kill people on an island that isn’t theirs and then spend decades maintaining their fake claim. And their football team is full of cheats and are proud of it
