If I were Christopher Nolan, I'd cast Lupita Nyong'o as Molly Bloom in my next blockbuster.

I dislike it very much when writers make characters speak with the snark of a 21st century woman.

Interesting in what sense?

Interesting that he didn't lay out a case that he really won 2020, let alone in a "landslide."

.@SecRubio: "In one 18 month period between 1971 and 1972, the FBI counted some 2,500 bombings on American soil—a rate of nearly 5 a day. The overwhelming share of that violence came from Left-Wing extremists... these are numbers that would shock most Americans today because we've been taught to believe that this kind of political violence, it simply doesn't exist or it's being exaggerated—but it does exist, and we're actually underestimating it."

Who do you blame for Trump not being in prison right now?

Every bizarre Congressional hearing where Democrats perseverate over this or that nominee saying aloud that Joe Biden won an election 6 years ago is an amazing missed opportunity to ask about something that legitimately pisses Americans off.

A genuine question for those defending every casting decision in The Odyssey… If someone adapted Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet and completely reimagined the nationality, appearance, or traditional portrayal of several iconic characters… Would you still say: “The best actor should always get the role.” Or would you suddenly start talking about staying faithful to Shakespeare? That’s why this debate fascinates me. Should we judge every classic by the same standard… Or do we only defend creative freedom when it’s our favorite director
