@Nazumejud Your wife needs to learn the Prodigal Son parable.

AM I WRONG FOR CHOOSING MY MOTHER OVER MY WIFE? My wife and I have a son who is about to turn five. For years, my parents, mostly my mother, have provided full time childcare at no cost. She follows every rule we set, no screens, no sweets, routines exactly as asked, and our son adores her. We genuinely could not afford daycare, and even if we could, it would not compare. Recently, we learned my parents have been quietly paying my older brother’s rent. He has a long history of poor choices, and my wife made a sharp comment about favoritism and how the problem child always gets rewarded. My mother snapped back hard, saying she spends forty hours a week caring for our child and can do whatever she wants with her money, even waste it entirely. The language was intense and shocked everyone. My wife demanded an apology. My mother apologized for the wording but doubled down on the message, saying her finances are not up for debate…….. 👇

@GMFWashington I don’t really care about casting. Making a big deal about casting is very much a progressive obsession. What I DO care about is the rumor that Nolan used Emily Wilson’s butchering of The Odyssey.

Like I said, if it turns out a bunch of dudes who were perfectly inside the sweet spot of the target audience for this movie convinced themselves to hate it in advance because of s bullshit fake news story I’m going to laugh so hard you’ll be able to hear it from space

@Blackberrycalss @GregoryWBronson @GiancarloSopo No thank you.

@CAPABLANCA_92 @GregoryWBronson @GiancarloSopo Then please do so

A rupture from what, exactly? Orson Welles cast Eartha Kitt to play Helen of Troy. We've just forgotten — or didn't know — because we've become culturally illiterate.

@Blackberrycalss @brigid_madden @GiancarloSopo “properly”

@brigid_madden @CAPABLANCA_92 @GiancarloSopo They're mad she properly translated the word slave rather then use the term house maid like other translators.

@Blackberrycalss @GiancarloSopo “modern”

@GiancarloSopo @CAPABLANCA_92 Wilson's translation is a decent one? I think Nolan should read multiple translations as Wilson's has the problem of having to cut stuff due to the meter constraints but I think its the closest we have to a "modern" translation which I feel is what the movie is trying to portray

@Blackberrycalss @GregoryWBronson @GiancarloSopo Yes, we can, or I can and others I know. You don’t know what you’re talking about, and that’s fine. Nobody can know everything. Wilson’s translation isn’t “vaguely feminist.”

@GregoryWBronson @CAPABLANCA_92 @GiancarloSopo And even if it was true non of these people can explain what's wrong with Wilson's translation other then it's vaguely feminist (whatever that means)

@GiancarloSopo @gay_lumberjack “Reactionaries” is historically what leftists labeled conservatives to avoid even acknowledging their concerns. I don’t know you, but I suspect you’re, at best, a libertarian cosplaying as a conservative.

@CAPABLANCA_92 @gay_lumberjack Reactionaries don’t conserve. They just whine for clicks.

If you're a conservative—not to be confused with a reactionary grifter—the main question about Nolan's Odyssey that should concern you is whether the film is faithful to Homer's moral vision of homecoming. That's it. Everything else makes for a dumber conservatism.

@GiancarloSopo @neoavatara If you’re a conservative then the fact Nolan used Emily Wilson’s translation means a) we know the answer to your question is NO and b) then you’re liberal for supporting the “moral vision”

@GiancarloSopo @gay_lumberjack It’s “low IQ” to want to conserve culture and traditions? Are you a libertarian wearing a conservative costume?

@gay_lumberjack It's a low IQ concern.

@LOTR_Daily_ I’m against ranking things that don’t need to be. I enjoy the whole book.

Which chapter is your favorite in the Silmarillion?

@GMFWashington Marty Supreme. Just a series of anxiety inducing scenes

Super Bad… it’s one of the reasons I didn’t like it. Not a fun movie at all.

@IhoPwaitress74 @elonmusk 263 thousand posts. You’re a bot.

@elonmusk What a moronic video. Looks like it was conceived by a 14 year old (no offense to 14 year olds).

@Vermeullarmine @TradVat2 That column reveals too much. Everyone knows the Liberal Establishment in the West wants the West not just diminished but destroyed. But they’re not supposed to just come out and print that.* *I guess since only they read The New Yorker?

I think this unfortunate piece is a distortion of a different truth. No patriot could wish his country to be diminished in strength and stature. On the other hand, a patriot also wishes his country to act with justice and to be known to act with justice. As the playwright said, it is excellent to have a giant’s strength, but tyrannous to use it like giant.

@Variety No Lies Detected

Elon Musk is bashing Christopher Nolan for #TheOdyssey casting, alleging the director cast Lupita Nyong’o as Helen of Troy because he “wants the awards.” In additional X posts, Musk re-tweeted posts that mocked Elliot Page’s masculinity and claimed that Nolan was stomping all over Homer’s grave because of his casting choices. variety.com/2026/film/news…

@cdrsalamander @johnkonrad Can we get 20 FFGs too? 10?

@johnkonrad I would just like the record to show that the designation of "BBGN-1" originated with CDR Salamander last October. I shall invoice accordingly. Ref. A: open.substack.com/pub/cdrsalaman…

Did you see the battleship acronym used in the new Navy shipbuilding report!? BBGN BB = Battleship G = Guided Missile N = NUCLEAR We are sooo back! 🇺🇸

@RichardAngwin @seanthomas85 Your original post is a lie. This post is a lie. Im pretty sure you’re a bot based on the many posts I see you in.

@seanthomas85 Conservatives scream "parental rights" while banning books on racism to keep kids dumb & compliant, meanwhile classics get challenged by *everyone*, but only one side wants sanitized ignorance. 📚

These are just some of the books Republicans have banned in school and public libraries around the country. Who's read any of these ??

@mask_bastard @memeslich Roll for initiative

never seen a worse game of dungeons & dragons 👎
