Just saw The Odyssey. Despite what you may have heard, literally all of the criticisms by conservatives were entirely correct. The movie is just as woke as you fear, if not more so. The DEI casting is atrocious. Completely takes you out of the story right from the beginning. But even worse than that is Nolan’s decision to turn Odysseus into an anachronistic whiney, solemn shell of a man plagued by “trauma” and guilt. It’s impossible to overlook these flaws because the film itself is not terribly entertaining or well constructed. For the most part it is disjointed, dull, self-serious, disenchanted, somehow feeling both verbose and overly rushed at the same time. The dialogue is some of the worst I’ve ever heard in a “critically acclaimed” film. “On the nose” and “clunky” are descriptions that can’t even begin to describe this script. At no point in the story does Nolan ever transport the audience to the ancient world. You never feel like you’re 3,000 years in the past. You feel like you’re watching modern Americans put on a pageant, because you are. Nobody would be calling this thing a masterpiece if it was made by a director not named Christopher Nolan.

Hi Congressman.

You have opinions. But I have data.

Let's look at it.

1⃣ Wildfires occur every year all over the world. That's true this year, just like it was last year and 5,000 years ago. But as it turns out, worldwide fire burn area is at a record low year-to-date.

2⃣ Globally, there has been no statistically significant increase in the amount of land area in droughts across all Drought Monitor categories since reliable satellite monitoring began in 1980. These include severe and exceptional droughts.

🔗https://t.co/9dNRQEItaH

3⃣ Heatwaves have increased in many regions around the globe since 1950, sure, but in areas that have good data coverage before then, long-term trends are more nuanced. For example, here in the U.S., the number of heatwaves (defined as three or more consecutive days with daily maximum temperatures ≥90th percentile relative to 1991−2020 climatology) have decreased by 20.2% since the start of the 20th century (1994−2025 average minus 1901−30 average).

Will you correct the record, Congressman, or will you continue to espouse misinformation?

No he wasn't "racially profiled", he was carrying a knife in the gym. I have several Sikh friends and they all say they would never wear a kirpan in the gym - it would be uncomfortable and potentially dangerous to them.

[Billboard Chris 🌎 @BillboardChris]

The biggest hoax in Canadian history is ongoing, whereby it is alleged that thousands of indigenous children were murdered and buried in unmarked graves at Catholic residential schools.

This chief says there is no need to exhume any of the fake graves (with the millions given by taxpayers for this purpose) because the spirits of these pretend murdered indigenous children speak to him, and that’s all the proof we need.

Tens of billions of dollars per year are given to indigenous bands for reconciliation.

That’s why they won’t dig. They know it’s a lie, and they continue to cash in on it.

Breaking: US increasing tariffs on Canada to 50%‼️

The tariffs are in response to the alcohol ban by some provinces, dairy, and discrimination against US motor vehicles.

Energy, potash, critical minerals and fish will be exempt.

I guess the conversation Mark Carney had with Donald Trump yesterday didn't go well.

[Wyatt Claypool @wyatt_claypool]

We need answers from the Canadian and Ontario governments on whether or not we have ben blocking American water-bombers from helping fight Canadian fires.

Montana Senator Tim Sheehy claims first-hand experience as a water-bomber pilot and says Canada "routining blocks US firefighting companies from attacking fires in Canada."

[cbcwatcher @cbcwatcher]

Hoekstra on critical minerals "And so two, three months ago...Secretary Rubio had a conference in Washington, D.C. we invited countries from around the world to come. Canada was included."

"And at the conclusion of the sessions, we invited countries to sign up and to be partners with us in addressing the needs that we had for critical minerals"

"And I think initially, almost Immediately, we had 17, 19 countries sign up and say, yep, put me down on the list."

"And I think from our standpoint, one of the disappointing things is Canada didn't sign up for the critical minerals." @USAmbCanada
