@MarioNawfal Shouldn’t he care more about writing a great story and producing a winning movie then earning an award???

🇺🇸 Elon is going after Christopher Nolan's Odyssey casting. Lupita Nyong'o as Helen of Troy set him off. Rumors that Elliot Page is playing Achilles haven't helped either. But the anger should be directed at the right target. Nolan didn't write the rules. Hollywood's DEI quotas, baked into how films qualify for major awards, came from elsewhere. Filmmakers either play by those rules or watch their projects lose Oscar eligibility before the cameras even roll. Hollywood broke storytelling. Nolan's just navigating the wreckage. The system that punishes faithful adaptations is the actual villain, and it lives way above any one director. @variety

@Variety He speaks the truth!

Elon Musk is bashing Christopher Nolan for #TheOdyssey casting, alleging the director cast Lupita Nyong’o as Helen of Troy because he “wants the awards.” In additional X posts, Musk re-tweeted posts that mocked Elliot Page’s masculinity and claimed that Nolan was stomping all over Homer’s grave because of his casting choices. variety.com/2026/film/news…

@jonathanvswan Is this the worst case scenario or the best case from the intel assessment. You do know that they generate “a range of assessments from best case to worst case,” don’t you? What is the best case assessment? Oh, they didn’t leak that one… I wonder why???

New: Classified military intelligence assessments from early this month show Iran has regained access to most of its missile sites, launchers and underground facilities. Including: U.S. intel assesses Iran has restored operational access to 30 of the 33 missile sites it maintains along the Strait of Hormuz, and ~90% of Iran's underground missile sites are "partially or fully operational." w @Adamentous @maggieNYT nytimes.com/2026/05/12/us/…

@TIME This will be a catastrophic failure. It’s already being destroyed online. Why would they race swap and have a woman play Achilles?

TIME’s new cover: ‘The Odyssey’ is arguably the biggest film of Christopher Nolan’s career. It may also be the summer blockbuster the entertainment industry needs right now time.com/article/2026/0…

@PopBase Oh well…

Lupita Nyong’o will play both Helen of Troy and her sister, Clytemnestra, in Christopher Nolan’s ‘THE ODYSSEY.’ (time.com/article/2026/0…)

@oliverburdick Upper right.

Where is Jesus?

@Osint613 Are they practicing dodging drones???

@HomerPavlos 100%

You are witnessing the beginning of a new Era. Odyssey will destroy one of the best directors and Homer will murder Hollywood. AI cinematography will be born and it’s their fault.

@IAPolls2022 Compare this one from left leaning CNN to the Atlas Intel poll just released. Makes mush more sense. I think Atlas must have slipped a digit.

CNN POLL - Generic Ballot 🟦 Democrats: 45% (-3) 🟥 Republicans: 42% (=) ⬜️ Neither: 13% March poll: Democrats +6 SSRS | 4/30-5/4 | RV | ±2.8% cnn.com/2026/05/12/pol…

@zerohedge Sure

IRAN HAS DEPLOYED DEEP ROAMING SUBMARINES IN THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ: TASNIM

@Osint613 Learn the alphabet?? WTF is he talking about? More shades of Monty Python.

Advisor to Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Akbar Velayati: Trump, "Do not assume you can exploit the current calm in Iran and march victoriously to Beijing." First of all, learn the alphabet of the new geopolitical order in the Middle East. We defeated you on the battlefield; do not imagine you will come out victorious in the diplomatic arena."

@PetriOP 💯

One reason many Catholics no longer go to confession frequently is that the sacrament subtly drifted from “confession and absolution” toward “spiritual counseling.” Most Catholics are willing to accuse themselves of sins briefly and regularly. Fewer are willing to enter into an extended personal conversation every few weeks. The traditional confessional, the screen, brevity, clarity, and sacramental reserve all lowered the barrier to grace. The sacrament felt objective, medicinal, and accessible rather than emotionally burdensome. Confession is not primarily therapy or spiritual direction. It is sacramental mercy.

@libsoftiktok @patagonia Literally cannot be seen wearing that brand.

Major clothing brand @patagonia is promoting a protest in Durham, North Carolina, that features drag queens and Durham City Council member Nate Baker, a self-identified Democratic Socialist. Why do leftists have to s*xualize everything? These people are such freaks

@toddstarnes Why is she so fat?

This is not the Pink Pony Dance Club. This is the floor of the Tennessee Senate chamber. Did someone distribute dollar bills to the senators?

@JesseKellyDC Not according to every conceivable economic statistic available to the public, but sure.

We are heading into a global recession because Iran is holding the Strait hostage. If we just leave, that doesn’t alleviate the situation. That option isn’t easy. Again, “easy” options are over. They were over when we decided to go. Now it’s all hard.

@WarMonitor3 That report is clearly the outlier. I’ve heard no other report that is even remotely in that zone. Have to discount.

Intelligence reports have suggested that Iran can last 3-4 months under a US blockade before severe economic hardship will set in-WP

@Osint613 Lol

IRGC Navy: Following the violation of the ceasefire and the aggression by the U.S. military against an Iranian oil tanker near Jask, a large scale combined operation was launched against enemy destroyers in the Strait of Hormuz using anti ship ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and kamikaze drones.” The IRGC claims 3 U.S. warships were damaged and forced to withdraw from the area.

@sentdefender WAPO?? False.

According to the Washington Post, citing people with knowledge on the matter, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) delivered a confidential assessment to administration officials with the key judgment that Iran can weather the U.S. blockade for at least three to four months. Additionally, the assessment reportedly says that Iran still retains significant ballistic missile stockpiles despite U.S.-Israeli strikes on underground facilities. Per the report, and tracking with past reporting on the subject, “75 percent of its prewar inventories of mobile launchers and about 70 percent of its prewar stockpiles of missiles.”

NBC is the sole outlet reporting based on two anonymous sources with no corroborated reporting from other news outlets. Also, when reached for comment Saudi Arabia would not confirm reporting. Other news agencies run with the initial NBC reporting making it seem as though it’s been broadly validated. Classic narrative driving by mainstream media that Trump is out of control.

President Donald Trump’s abrupt reversal on his plan to help ships transit the Strait of Hormuz came after a key Gulf ally (Saudi Arabia) suspended the U.S. military’s ability to use its bases and airspace for the operation, according to two U.S. officials, NBC reports.
