Lupita Nyong’o addresses the racist backlash to her casting as Helen of Troy in “The Odyssey,” after some critics called Christopher Nolan a “coward” for not casting a white actress:
“This is a mythological story,” Nyong’o said in an interview. "I’m very supportive of Chris’ intention with it and with the version of this story that he is telling. Our cast is representative of the world. I’m not spending my time thinking of a defense. The criticism will exist whether I engage with it or not.”
Nyong’o said her interpretation of the character goes deeper than her beauty. “You can’t perform beauty,” she said. “I want to know who a character is. What is beyond beauty? What is beyond looks? That’s the thing about doing such a well-known text, which has been studied and interpreted and derived from. The research could be endless. The good thing about working with a writer like Chris is that it’s on the page. The investigation starts with the pages you’re given. That’s what I based it on.”

A historic Black cemetery in Palmetto, Florida, was vandalized, with graves damaged and “Trump” and “DeSantis” spray-painted across tombstones. Our ancestors deserve dignity in life and in death. Desecrating sacred burial grounds is hateful, painful, and unacceptable. We must protect Black history and honor the families impacted by this cruelty.

ABC is now peddling the claim that Jeffrey Epstein had a suicide note. This is based on the word of his former cellmate, convicted of multiple murders, who spoke to The New York Times.
The NYT has petitioned a judge to unseal the note.
Think it’s real?

@C_3C_3 And they will laugh all the way to the bank, as they swim in the millions of dollars they stole, knowing that absolutely nothing will happen to them. Their little foot soldiers will pay for their crimes, and they won't get so much as a slap on the wrist.

Everyone on earth takes a private vote by pressing a red or blue button. If more than 50% of people press the blue button, everyone survives. If less than 50% of people press the blue button, only people who pressed the red button survive. Which button would you press? BE HONEST.

@LeadingReport Why do they need the citizens money? Answer: They don't. They could just print more, or make a transfer from a computer at the Treasury. Our gov has been printing money out of thin air for decades. It's not backed by anything, except "trust me bro". They are vampires.
