High school romanticism is the strongest evidence for the fact that most people deeply crave structure in their lives and are confused by freedom.

I’m done trying to be polite or tiptoe around peoples feelings when it comes to generative AI. Your stuff looks like shit. Your logo looks like shit. Your flyer looks like shit. Your photo edits look like shit. It’s so obvious that it’s AI, and it all looks like garbage.

Luigi Mangione pleaded guilty today; one of the things he said was:

“I emailed United Healthcare’s leadership, posing as an investor managing $58 billion. Unlike my other experiences with the company, I was contacted back within 1 hour.”

Damn.

Dear @Apple, I just experienced a strong earthquake in Colombia. You’re late in adding an early alert system like Android’s. You say the Apple Watch saves lives, this feature would save even more. If @Google can do it, you can too.

Listen, Christopher Nolan.
I stand with Homer’s Odyssey, not with a modern version created to make Odysseus easier for us to forgive. You say you did not mean to Christianize the story. But when the Trojan Horse becomes a source of guilt, the journey home becomes penance, and a warrior hungry for glory becomes ashamed of who he is, I have to wonder: are we still watching Homer’s hero, or a modern man sent to therapy in ancient armour?
Yes, Xenia matters. But so do kleos, timē, metis and nostos: glory, honour, cunning and the unbearable desire to return home.
Homer’s Odysseus is proud, violent, brilliant, selfish, loyal, wounded and deeply human. He is not asking the audience to approve of him. He is trying to reclaim his wife, his son, his home and the name the world almost took from him.
I do not need Odysseus to be more likeable. I need him to be recognizable.
Perhaps great stories are not supposed to make us comfortable. Perhaps they survive because they force us to face people whose values are not our own.
You borrowed Homer’s seas, his gods and his hero, but gave Odysseus the conscience of another age.
And I couldn’t help but wonder: when we rewrite the past until it finally agrees with us, are we bringing Homer to life or simply putting him on trial?

Emily Wilson after watching the Odyssey:

‘The film presents an Odysseus who feels very bad about things that he's done in war, and is struggling to process them in a very modern, psychiatrised way – and needs drugs to do so! He seems to feel bad about being a warrior, and we never actually see him get to do much warrioring ... Nolan makes the protagonist a likeable, all-American hero; Homer's Odysseus wants glory, and he wants to get spoils from the sack of a city! I kept looking in vain for a sense that this was a film about glory. This is a film that has an interest in shame, but I don't think it has any interest in glory.’

kpop is such a funny concept to me like what if there was an entire music genre filled with bands who are only ever together for ~6 months and make some of the worst music you’ve ever heard in your life

I'm surprised at all the positive reviews of Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey.

One wonders if critics are just afraid of saying anything too negative about such a high profile director and cast, because the films' flaws did not feel subtle or insignificant to me.

[Caesarisattva @caesarisattva]

Finally saw the Nolan's Odyssey tonight. Truly awful film. Editing, writing, costume, and sets were all awful. The ethos of the Greeks is traded for Nolan's Catholic guilt. The message about preserving religious tradition was fine, but communicated in the most hackneyed way.

[Andres Ardon @shepargon]

@TheMemeWalker The rythm of this movie was unbearable. The book is an epic poem and it feels epic because you have time to digest things. Everything here felt so rushed. The sound design was a choice too, always going as fast as the chopped scenes.

Kylian Mbappe es el MÁXIMO goleador en la historia de los Mundiales.

Sin penales regalados, sin el apoyo de la FIFA, sin ser la princesa de Infantino. El VERDADERO goleador que el fútbol se merece.

Gracias por esta alegría, Kylian.
