Terrible people love bringing this up as if they are paying for it. A private nonprofit decides to give free tickets to poor people, students, etc and this makes you angry why exactly? It hurts you how?

The Monterey Bay Aquarium charges $295 for a family membership or $125 for a single adult. With an EBT card, entry is free — and up to four guests get in free every visit. There is a ZERO incentive for these people to ever get off Food Stamps.

Interesting how Matt Damon and Lupita Nyong’o both have exactly the same amount of Greek heritage (none), but the Internet is only furious about one casting choice and not the other. Riddle me that.

Hannah Einbinder is not concerned about being blacklisted by Hollywood when it comes to supporting Palestine. She champions Melissa Barrera, Susan Sarandon and other actors speaking out: "I think what they know is what I know, which is that the cost of not speaking is higher, you know? There is a greater toll in not speaking and you just gotta have your priorities straight. I am under no impression that my one small career could ever measure up in comparison to even one human life. @KeringGroup

Homerist and Classical Studies Professors reviewed The Odyssey trailer (spoiler alert - unlike the illiterate chuds and Greek-history larpers, they are actually excited by Nolan's unique vision)

It’s been funny to see Christopher Nolan, the man who won a Best Picture Oscar for a movie with an entirely white cast, being accused of casting POC just to win an Oscar

Wilson's actual stated reason, which is visible in the screenshot he posted, is that “savage” carries colonial connotations in modern English that the ancient Greek ἄγριος simply does not have. ἄγριος means wild, feral, untamed, it applies to animals and storms in Homer. “Savage” in English has a specific post-colonial history. Wilson judged it, correctly imo, as anachronistic. You can disagree with that call. But has nothing to do with non-Whites. That's a made up internal dialogue that never took place. She translates the Cyclopes as “mavericks” which is hardly a whitewash. She used that word due to the their lack of social structure, agriculture, and assemblies, as they live as independent, lawless individuals. Cyclopes' unconventional, solitary way of life, is being contrasted with the civilized, law-abiding societies of humans. Wilson has given us a good translation; not the best but a very decent one. Don't reject it because a non Greek speaking moron told you so.
Roman Helmet Guy@romanhelmetguy

Emily Wilson read the story about a Cyclops eating Odysseus’s men and thought: “Wow, this monster is a non-White person. People might get the idea that non-White people are savage. I better not use the word ‘savage.’ That would reinforce colonialism.”

as a toddler the iof separated my sister from my mother & strip searched her in a dark interrogation room as a kid the iof refused to let me use the bathroom and made me go outside next to a billboard while they watched across the street & my mom & aunt had to cover me from their leering eyes as a teenager the iof kidnapped my cousin from his home without cause and dropped him off on the street, blindfolded, beaten & bruised 2 weeks later this is our reality as palestinians, inside occupied territory, in gaza and in the diaspora. we will not compromise or bow down to zionism in any fashion, and we will NEVER normalize it.

As a kid I hid behind the wall when I heard the IDF coming in their vehicles. As a teenager, my mom and I were kicked off the bus to Al-Aqsa and forced to walk miles just cause. As an adult, I was stripped of my clothes and held at gunpoint by an IDF soldier for smiling.
