Discount will cover all produce & all meat, plus 20 pantry essentials. Prices set monthly.
The stores will not sell cigarettes, alcohol, lotto tickets, or hot foods—per Mamdani, major sources of revenue for bodegas—so that the stores don’t threaten local businesses.
Just saw a guy at the library pull out an old thinkpad, a fancy knife, a pack of japanese cigarettes, an old ipod with wired earbuds, a book and take a photo of his setup, which he then promptly put back in his bag and started doomscrolling on his phone
Like I want y’all to recognize THIS is why your favorite local businesses close. Their business can be just as good as it’s been for years but it just takes a landlord to say I’m doubling your rent for no reason and that’s that. Everything is wrong with capitalism
There are two boys that send me music. When one sends me a song, I send it to the other. Then that one sends me a song back, so I send it to the first. They both think I have great taste in music, but I don't; they do. They're musical soul mates and they'll never know it.
I had a feeling they were the Sea People, but what fascinates me is how Zeus's Law twists depending on who's invoking it. The line between honoring hospitality and expecting others to bend to your will becomes blurred. Circe's scene makes that point brilliantly.
I don’t think that’s what the movie is saying tbh. I think it’s less about guilt over sacking Troy and more about guilt over the way he did it. His whole thing is wanting a fair, honourable fight (e.g. plucking the bow before hunting). Trickery goes against that ethos.
Like of course he makes this movie following Oppenheimer. When Odysseus was retelling the story to Penelope, I was like him and Oppenheimer are brothers! Men who brought an end to a war but at the cost of their humanity and not actually leaving the world better.
Nolan's framing of "Zeus' law" as the institutional foundation of a functional society, and what happens when that foundation is broken by men with an insatiable lust for power, wasn't lost on me.
Fitting for the time we are in.
Need an extended cut of The Odyssey where more weapons keep dropping from the ceiling for Pattinson to point out to the other suitors. “The nunchucks!! The Glock, get the Glock!”
his performance is probably my favorite in the entire film. Sinon’s recontextualized role is part of what really helps nail the commentary on societal collapse, how the first victims are often “the best of us” and our attempts at comfort mean nothing in the wake of their loss.
