This is especially phenomenal because when they reach the first island & are asked if they are the sea people, Eurylochus angrily denies this & says “no, we are greeks”, as houses burn in the background. Because he never realises the catastrophe they have created since the war.

Saw The Odyssey, and I think I get now why the far right are so unhappy about it. It's a story about the disasters that come when the rule of law crumbles and might alone makes right. And it's about the duties of care and kindness we owe to strangers. It's anti-MAGA to its core.

The Odyssey is just the latest prominent example of why we can ignore Twitter discourse. The flood of trolls here just doesn't reflect most people. They're a self selected, loud minority who try to inflict their ignorance on us. They're essentially the suitors

@Mike_from_PA Gosh you suck.

Here’s a more verbose and unambiguous tweet that gets to the crux of the video — this legislator is mindlessly repeating AI slop he didn’t write and nobody is noticing because they never listen to what is being said anyway, so it doesn’t matter.

For the people who don't track these things closely, when JD Vance says he's “postliberal” in this context it doesn't mean “post-Democrat,” it means “post-Constitution.”

[Swann Marcus @SwannMarcus89]

The reason rightoids are so obsessed with the idea The Odyssey sucks and everyone hates it and it's actually failing is because they made the incredibly stupid decision to run their "wokeness guarantees bad movie" play on a fucking Christopher Nolan flick and now they're scrambling to salvage the grift

Normally they attack woke Hollywood casting and the movie they're attacking is - like - the Ghostbusters all-female reboot or a Supergirl movie nobody wanted. For some reason this time they decided to run the grift on a film by Christopher Nolan, a man who's only made one arguably bad movie in Tenet and has never really had a flop except for Tenet, which came out during Covid and still made $360 million.

Why you would run a grift about how this woke movie is guaranteed to flop on a film by one of the best directors of all time whose movies always make money is beyond me. Due to this insanely stupid tactical error, they now need to make up ridiculous conspiracy theories about how everyone secretly hates this incredibly successful film because they're desperate to save face

There's more to the Trump agenda than just higher prices and losing wars.

[Swann Marcus @SwannMarcus89]

“Why is The Odyssey performing well on the site normies actually use but not on the ones that are extremely susceptible to disingenuous review bombing?”

I literally have not met a single person in real life who saw the movie and thought it was bad

Donald Trump says he trusts Xi and Putin.

77 million Americans. Congrats.

[Blank Slate @blankslate2017]

This should be illegal. The only substantive thing Trump has done as POTUS is declare war on blue states, their voters and the US Constitution.

.@elonmusk says zero people died from DOGE cuts to USAID. The billionaire CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, in his own words, helped feed the policy to the woodchipper last year, when he was the head of America’s Department of Government Efficiency. In an exclusive interview, @zannymb, The Economist’s editor-in-chief, challenges his claims: https://t.co/ZvmVXffNiD

[Joshua McManaway @jrmcmanaway]

Were Aristophanes alive today, he would probably write a very funny play about a bunch of people who have never read the Odyssey arguing about the Odyssey.
