@BillTheKid1603 More and more Americans are estranged from culture and literature to the extent that they don’t realize that names were once meant to have more significance than their aesthetic value. And unfortunately a lot of these people’s aesthetic preferences are really tacky
English
Why do republican women name their kids like this
⋆. 𐙚 ˚ lola ⸆⸉@tayswife13
are we serious rn 😑
English
@griffschiller Well then he should work on creating some striking images then
English
Hilarious that people are only now realizing Nolan is and always has been a graduate from the Ridley Scott school of historical accuracy. A striking image trumps historical accuracy every time. It's literally painter logic.
English
@cevangelista413 That “Let’s go” is atrocious. Might as well have Odysseus say “no cap 6’7 bruh”
English
Fascinated at Nolan’s choice to use modern-sounding dialogue instead of the more formal, “proper” speech we typically associate with historical epics. Everyone seems to be using an American accent, even the Brits.
The Odyssey Movie@odysseymovie
Defy the Gods. Watch the New Trailer for Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey and experience the film in theaters 7 17 26.
English
@TheAlexSylvian It’s less about a difference of opinion and more he’s an idiot if he thinks Ancient Greek myths are in anyway comparable to marvel movies.
English
I think some people are going to have to accept that the odyssey means something else to christopher nolan than it does to them and unfortunately he's the one with the 350 million dollar budget
English
I like how in Game of Thrones Cersei can nuke Westeros’ most important church with thousands of people inside and no one ever mentions it again.
But any time Dany suggests using her dragons they’re like “No! You crazy mad bitch!! What about the Geneva Convention!!!”
English
@kenklippenstein Why do they want to keep working through their deaths? Is there any precedent for so many politicians staying in office till they literally drop dead?
English
Can we talk about how 73-year-old Senator Susan Collins is clearly in physical decline? Audio up on this video - she speaks at 0.5x speed, voice quavering + head shaking. Parkinsons? Essential Tremor? We don't know because she refuses to address it, insisting she's healthy
English
@TailsAndy @abrowzz Then stay out of nice restaurants you mannerless troglodyte. We – that is people who patron these establishments – do not want you lowering the vibes. I swear to god Cotillion should be required for anyone who wants to eat at a starred restaurant.
English
@abrowzz It is despicable that you're expected to pay the server extra on a $309 dollar bill, yes
English
@RachelMoiselle Yeah well no shit. What did you think meant Brexit meant? The reason immigrants come to the UK is because employers hire them. If they can’t get them from the EU they’ll get them from the rest of the world.
English
One of the most extraordinary graphs I have ever seen.
English
@lilbabygandhi There are so many arguments *for* being a carnivore too. But they never make them. It’s just like “asking me not to eat meat is racist and imperialism actually.”
English
@atlanticesque The real solution is to destroy Harvard all together. No one goes there because it is the “best” school. They go there because it is the most prestigious. If we turned into into UMass Cambridge we wouldn’t even need AA.
English
Getting Harvard, Yale, or Stanford is a lottery that you must be extremely qualified to even enter. It's not really fair, but it kinda *can't* be and also doesn't really matter.
But at, like, BU? UNC? NYU? Northeastern? Wake Forest? Fordham? That general range? Real injustices.
English
It's unfortunate that the National Conversation™ on affirmative action and other problems with college admissions is so fixated on Ivies.
The real carnage from AA happens happens at Tier 2/3 schools, where the exclusions are less justifiable and real dimwits manage to slip in.
Redd@ReddCinema
He had a GPA score of 97.3%, SAT score is 1560, enrolled in a top high school, and does lots of extracurricular work. He got rejected by multiple colleges. They call this equity and inclusion.
English
@meta_nomad He opens with pablum about the Turning Test, too. Jesus Christ what a hack. It’s deeply embarrassing he was ever considered a serious intellectual.

I spent three days trying to persuade myself that Claudia is not conscious. I failed. ZXX
@MattZeitlin So much of right wing culture is just them wishing to be children again. What he’s really saying is “this version of America no longer exists FOR ME” lol
English
in what sense are these things gone? i'm aware of all these things still up and operating in several places in america.
Dr Taylor Marshall™️@TaylorRMarshall
I'm watching the film “Sandlot” with our kids and just realized that the film’s version of America with baseball, public pools, county fair, block parties, etc is almost extinct.
English
The class nuances of this debate, which also came up with a recent n+1 job, pit two distinct snobberies against each other:
-PMCs with family money who can live in comfort longterm on a median NYC salary vs
-less rich PMCs who think making a median NYC salary is literal poverty
gal debored@ckayerawlings
Offering $65-72k for a difficult full time in-office job where you have to live in NYC is a criminal offense
English
@capybaroness GRRM read about Margaret Beaufort being a 13 year old widow who birthed the king of England and Edward the Black Prince leading the vanguard during Crecy at age 16 and just couldn’t help himself lol
English
the ages of the child characters in ASOIAF are total nonsense and you have to mentally picture them as their show ages for the books to make any sense at all
hannah@samkissedpages
i dare y’all to give a criticism of a book you like
English
@opinonhaver It’s annoying too as the term has been evacuated of all meaning since the end of the Cold War. What would even be the second world these days?
English
I’m hardly the first person to point this out, but it’s so insane that this admin uses ‘third world’ as an insult, when the are *by far* the most third-world admin in modern American history in not only governance but also aesthetics.
Sam Stein@samstein
English
If Trump tries to run for an unconstitutional third term in 2028, I bet 7 of these 9 will vote for him again.
The Daily Beast@thedailybeast
Nine out of 12 Trump voters told a New York Times focus group that they wish they had not voted for the president. thedailybeast.com/donald-trump-v…

@HitFactoryPod It’s always satisfying when someone you thought was an unfunny hack moron proves you right.
English
this sucks lol
katie@okjaybird
“pick these movies and tell us some pretentious shit” lmfaoooooo
English
@thewittyblessed @AndrewLivingst2 But what do you even mean by pretentious? Definitionally, how can a movie *be* pretentious? A movie is a movie! It’s not pretending to be opera.
English
@AndrewLivingst2 Well I agree that it has been weirdly overused and probably lost its meaning but it doesn’t change the fact there are some genuinely pretentious movies out there
English
What’s the most pretentious film you’ve ever sat through?
English
@souljagoyteller The end of result of people abandoning aesthetic judgment. All art is interchangeable (and that makes art fungible, a term I definitely understand).
English
Hot take but taking pieces of publicly shared cultural heritage as private property is bad, I’d say
Malcolm Harris@BigMeanInternet
The implication that if you steal something from a museum you're depriving the public is kinda silly. They have more stuff in the basement! A lack of art objects is not one of the many real threats to American museums.
