Went into this World Cup a Messi fan. Went out of it losing all respect for him. Argentina was such a bad team, and Messi was just as bad as any of them.
Hollywood will really blame this and that -ism for their flops before looking in a mirror and asking if they're the problem. Learn to write, idiots. #Supergirl
Spanish 🇪🇸 leader Pepa Millan:
“The burka and the niqab have no place in Spain and therefore must be banned, as VOX defends.
Foreigners who repeatedly impose these veils on women will be expelled from Spain.”
”Why don’t we put White people on an island so we reduce their population?”
“Here’s the thing though… It would quickly become the best island, and all you guys would want to come to it.”
If it's ok for a black woman to play Helen of Troy because she's mythological, then there should be no problem if a White or Asian guy were to play T'challa since he's fictional, right? Why is there no consistency to your race swapping rules, Hollywood? #Odyssey
Cunt, if your cast were really representative of the world it would be mostly Indian and Chinese. And who even said a film based on a Greek myth had to be representative of anyone but the Greeks? But where are the Greeks in your cast? Not a single one. #Odyssey
Notice how the female characters in Avatar didn't have to sacrifice femininity to be cool? Notice how they didn't have to belittle men to raise themselves up and notice how fans didn't complain about Mary Sues here? Korra and other characters just sucks Nothing to do with sexism
Greek City Times published an open letter to Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey this week. It reads in part:
"We did not vanish. Greek people did not disappear after the age of myth. Greek culture was not frozen in classical marble. We are still here. For more than 3,000 continuous years, Greek identity has persisted."
The addendum: "Given Hollywood's insistence for minority representation, authenticity and diversity — where are the Greeks, or the Greek Americans in this Greek story?"
The film shot in Greece, with Greek funding, across Greek locations. Not one cast member is Greek.
Hollywood required diversity for every production except this one.

You keep sending me graphic images and saying things like:
“Did you forget Hiroshima and Nagasaki?”
“You’re just America’s bitch.”
No.
I didn’t forget.
No Japanese person forgets Hiroshima.
No Japanese person forgets Nagasaki.
But I’m not going to look at some American kid, student, tourist, or friend today and hate them for what happened 80 years ago.
That’s not strength.
That’s just letting the past rot inside you.
Yes, Japan’s postwar occupation is complicated.
Yes, there are things people still argue about.
But Japan rebuilt.
Japan moved forward.
And part of that history includes its relationship with America.
Remembering the past does not mean living as a prisoner of hatred.
Hiroshima and Nagasaki are not props for your rage.
They are Japanese memories.
Japanese pain.
And a warning to the world.
I will not let you use our dead to feed your hate.
Being biologically female means having a body that is observably organised to produce large gametes (eggs), as opposed to a body organised to produce small gametes (sperm). A woman is female whether her eggs have been fertilised or not. A man can never be female.
