DL Hughley on Zohran Mamdani: “This Muslim is putting Christians to shame. There is more to say for a man that lifts the poor, that feeds the hungry, that walks among the people, than powerful white men who consort with a pedophile. Who’s the more Christlike?”
Katie Miller's experience is a microcosm of why this crusade against Fauci is completely reprehensible.
Rewind the tape 6 years ago, and she was relying on him to help with her health anxiety, back when it wasn't a political liability, before the politicians sacrificed him on the altar of their partisan pursuits.
All of these people are hypocrites. All of them. They were scared, and you were probably scared, too. I was scared, but at least I can fucking admit it.
6 years later, we haven't learned a goddamned thing.
As a Greek, I was introduced to Homer almost as soon as I learned to read. His epics are among the first great works we encounter at school, and they remain a living part of our cultural consciousness.
Given that, I really don't care whether Christopher Nolan has remained completely faithful to Homer or has taken creative liberties.
What truly matters is that he has brought Homer back into the world's imagination. If his film encourages people to return to the Odyssey, discover the Iliad, or venture further into the treasures of classical literature, then it has already accomplished something extraordinary. Any work of art that sends people back to the source has, in my view, made a genuine contribution to culture.
Nolan’s version of The Odyssey is not the first to hold Odysseus accountable for his actions, but it might be the first to present a more complex picture of his victims and to stay with how he has impacted by them.
That’s what seems to have struck some conservatives as “woke” about the film—which in an era of Jeffrey Epstein files being swept under the rug, the Republican party heavily backing a genocidal Israel, even involving our own military in its atrocities, and a president who will never answer for his own crimes, tracks.
Regret, remorse, accountability, and male shortcomings are hardly factors conservatives want to confront right now.
Guillermo del Toro: “Absolutely no goddamn AI. It’s much more expensive, I don’t care. What we’re protecting is the beauty and the redeeming power of art”
