I'm so mad about how they're being treated by this rotten country but it's very heartening to see how Mexico has embraced them. The far superior North American nation.
Iran’s Alireza Jahanbakhsh: “We love Mexican people. It’s just unbelievable how welcome we were there and the hospitality there is amazing. I think there’s a real heartfelt feeling between the players on the team and the Mexican people. I would like to say, ‘Muchas Gracias!’”
Hi darling @ToniKroos
You spent months criticizing Qatar and talking about every possible issue before and during the 2022 World Cup, yet it turned out to be one of the best-organized tournaments in history. Public transportation was free, fans could travel easily between stadiums some fans saw 4 matches in the stadium in same day, and the overall organization was praised by millions of visitors.
Now, when concerns are being raised about visa delays, strict entry procedures, and travel difficulties surrounding tournaments in the United States, we don't hear the same level of criticism from you. There have also been complaints about organizational decisions and match arrangements that many fans consider unnecessary or difficult, yet your voice is nowhere near as loud as it was when Qatar hosted the World Cup.
If your criticism is truly based on principles, then the same standards should apply to everyone. But when Qatar receives endless criticism while similar concerns elsewhere are met with silence, people are naturally going to question whether your issue was really about organization at all.
Fuck you.
Sixteen years later and people are still talking about the wrong twist in Shutter Island.
DiCaprio is a patient, not a marshal. Fine. Most audiences figure that out halfway through. Scorsese practically broadcasts it. Ruffalo fumbles his holster like he's never touched a weapon. The staff won't make eye contact. The dream sequences bleed into reality with no boundary.
The actual gut punch is 11 words that weren't in Dennis Lehane's novel.
"Which would be worse: to live as a monster, or to die as a good man?"
Lehane wrote a book where Andrew Laeddis relapses into delusion, gets lobotomized, end of story. Scorsese read that ending and added a single line that turned a psychological thriller into a Greek tragedy.
If Andrew is asking that question, he's lucid. He remembers everything. He remembers his wife drowning their three children in the lake. He remembers killing her. And he's choosing, in real time, to pretend he's still delusional so the doctors will destroy his brain. Because living with the truth is worse than not living at all.
This scene is where it all breaks open. Michelle Williams telling DiCaprio the kids are "in school" when she drowned them behind the house. Williams had maybe 15 minutes of total screen time scattered across two hours. She had to play a love story and a horror story in the same performance, depending on which viewing you're on.
Lehane told MTV he disagreed with Scorsese's interpretation. He thought Andrew wasn't conscious enough to choose. Scorsese never confirmed. DiCaprio never confirmed. That ambiguity is load-bearing.
$80 million budget. $295 million worldwide. The line that makes the movie rewatchable forever wasn't in the source material and cost nothing to add.
Most twist films collapse on rewatch because the twist is the entire product. Shutter Island improves every time because the twist was never the point. A man choosing to erase himself because the truth was worse than oblivion. That's why it still haunts.
Kaya-kaya dan kapitalis yang memusnahkan alam sekitar ni semua besok bila kemusnahan tak terbendung mereka cuma perlu naik jet peribadi dan migrate ke luar negara menikmati asset yang dikumpul. Tinggallah kita menghadap bala dan celaka yang ditinggalkan.
Kau dah rosakkan tempat untuk orang awam. Kau gadai macam2, lepastu kau guna duit tu beli pulau private, beli tanah private, tempat nature yang cantik untuk kau dgn puak-puak kau saja boleh “nikmati”. Jahat dan out of touch

I have been boycotting Grab and Jaya Grocer since I found out Chloe Tong is a Zionist. Now it turns out her dad is lobbying the govt to stop us from WFH. I’ve never bought The Edge newspaper but i’ve read them online. Will not be quoting them from now on. Ughh vile family
