@JebraFaushay So is Matt Damon , the most Scottish looking mother fucker ever
You’re a bot. Now self implode now we all know your identity

I was “black” when I read The Odyssey in high school...
...but somehow I never imagined the characters as looking like me.
Why?
Because they were GREEK characters.
I didn’t need Odysseus to look like me to appreciate his story.
I didn’t need Helen of Troy to look like me to understand her importance.
They were Greek characters from a specific culture, with a specific history.
And this is what Hollywood keeps getting wrong.
We don’t identify with characters because they look like us.
We connect with them because we recognize something human in them - their struggles, their courage, their flaws, their values.
Odysseus is a GREEK hero.
Helen of Troy is a GREEK woman.
Their identities are part of what makes their stories meaningful.
Casting Colombians and Africans and Indians as Greek ISN'T "representation."
It’s just insulting.
Stop it.

@HomerPavlos No Greeks were casts in the movie . And who really cares ?

The Odyssey begins by showing an African rapper with rasta in the role of a Greek poet. We Greeks are forced to watch our Greek history and culture being disgraced and mocked across the entire world. What is Nolan's real role in doing something like this instead of casting a Greek person speaking Greek? What's the purpose of casting someone with rasta in the Greek world?
I'll tell you. Nolan and Hollywood are the real racists and enemies of the West. They hate us Greeks. The simplest confirmation comes from the fact that when a film is about African history, they don't cast white people, only Africans. When it's about Chinese or Japanese history, they cast only Asians, and they even speak only in their own language. But now that the time has come for a film based on Greek history with Greeks, not a single Greek is cast, they don't speak even a bit of Greek, and they don't even respect Homer. So, for films about European cultures, Africans, Asians, and anything else must be cast, but when it comes to African culture, whites are not allowed to play those roles.
This is the real racism of Hollywood.
Hollywood is a cancer that rots your souls and enslaves your minds and spirits. They hate you and they want to destroy you. Never forget the real enemies of the West and of your race. Those who are in universities, the academics, teaching your children how to hate their ancestors instead of honoring them. Don't do them the favor. Love the Greco-Roman world and fight those who hate you.
Never forget the traitors who took everything as a joke and contributed to the plan to destroy Western civilization.

Yak attack
Cheryl and I bumped into this yak after losing our guide during a ten hour uphill trek above the Tiger’s Nest Monastery near Paro. Immediately before I turned on the camera, she asked, “Do you think it’s dangerous?” Grateful to the yak for retreating when I struck him on the snout with my cell phone.

@EndTribalism Let’s be clear , there are no Greek actors in this movie
Everyone should shut the fuck up and just enjoy the movie
English

For some reason, The Odyssey has become one of the latest culture wars on X.
I just watched it, and from start to finish it was everything cinema is supposed to be.
If you’re letting some morons on the internet convince you not to see this movie, you’re genuinely missing out.
The cinematography was incredible, the acting was great, the score is outstanding, and the story keeps you hooked the entire time.
Don’t let politics take a great movie away from you.
Go to the theater and judge it for yourself.

@GavinNewsom At this point you should ask yourself why (like the real and deep spiritual) reason why you entered politics
Why?

Tonight, America watched the ramblings of a mad king.
Donald Trump’s address was not about the last election — it was THIS one.
Before a single vote has been cast, he’s already laying the groundwork to rig this election and convince YOU not to trust the results if they don’t go his way.
This is what authoritarians do. Don’t fall for it.
Organize. Mobilize. SHOW UP and VOTE in November!

I was so sharp and so ready for this fight I cannot believe what has happened. The talk of me being off while walking in to the fight is nonsense. I was calm, ready, and confident. I am in shock what has taken place. The devil is literally staring at me right in front of my face here. I am not engaging. I will be at church tomorrow.
I will overcome this.
I will not be deterred.
I will return.

@AlboMP @narendramodi Albanese is a dweeb
We need better leadership

There’s nothing in the world like the MCG.
On this field the Australia India competition might be fierce.
But off the field, we’ve forged lasting friendships.
Prime Minister @narendramodi welcome to the birthplace of test cricket and the home of AFL.

Australia won’t consider Nuclear because of our Politicians solar/wind turbine grift, but will give our Uranium to another Country for their Nuclear?
Makes sense.
😂😂😂😂
Reuters@Reuters
Australia and India reached a deal to export Australian uranium to India for use in the nuclear energy industry, while agreeing to deepen cooperation in renewables, critical minerals and green hydrogen reut.rs/4vW81Ja
