@KwikWarren Cleopatra was white.
Yes they made fun of John Wayne for it.
No clue on Connors.
As for white blue eyed Jesus? Yes it is historically inaccurate, it is also the same portrayal for the last 800 yrs.......

@JonathanTurley Dual citizenship should not be allowed for ANY gov't or elected position.
Non citizens should not be in any Gov't or elected prosition.
I don't care it you are Somalia born or anywhere else.
You cannot have two countries that you have allegiance to.

I strongly disagree with the push for a constitutional amendment to bar foreign-born legislators. foxnews.com/politics/mace-… While I have suggested the possible tinyurl.com/f86u4tce, I cannot think of anything more antithetical to our founding than barring foreign-born citizens from Congress. As a nation of immigrants, it is a reaffirmation of our heritage to have these citizens serve in government...

This woman ordered a salad at chick-Fil-a & noticed her name which is Amber on the salad box which they normally do when you order,but then she noticed they put “BF” after it. She’s questioning whether that is “BF” for Black female. If so why would they think that’s okay to do.

@teachergorman "one of the most beautiful women ever"
This is purely subjective. She might not be ugly, but she ain't no 10.
English
A bunch of chuds saw Lupita Nyong'o, one of the most beautiful women ever, was cast to play Helen of Troy, one of the most beautiful women ever, and their response was to start an online war ... proving she is the perfect pick to play a woman so beautiful she started a war!

Grok Build is improving like lightning
Morgan@morganlinton
Update on my experience Grok Build. The team at @xai made an update, while I was sleeping, and I can already see the difference. Yesterday, I couldn't get Grok Build to run for more than a minute or two. I literally wake up this morning, see that the team made an update, and now everything I'm doing in Grok Build is running, and running, and running, until it finishes. I'm pretty sure nobody at xAI slept last night, and the end result is Grok Build is 10x better than it was a day ago. What happens over the next week is going to be wild. Now I'd say the beta has gone from a 6/10 to an 8/10, in a freakin' day 😅

@bendreyfuss Maybe because we have seen a near constant deluge of race swapping in recent movies.

My feed is now 100% about Helen of Troy has to be white because she is Greek and I just think that ultimately the funniest part is that Americans didn’t even consider Greeks white until about a couple generations ago! Haha

@piper4335k @ASFleischman Okay..... she tried to save information and bring it to light about a election.
She did not follow standard whistleblower practices and should have done it differently.
That doesn't change shit.

Tina Peters did bad stuff and she was wrong to do it, but five years is a completely reasonable sentence for a non violent crime that resulted in no actual harm.
Long prison sentences are for defendants who hurt people and are likely to do it again.

@SenMarkKelly Are you calling for general to ignore his orders?
If he knows better or not doesn't really matter.
So long as it is a legal order they are required to follow it.
By knowingly asking them to question a clearly lawful order you are undermining the chain of command.
English
Trump thinks he knows better than admirals and generals. He doesn't. 13 Americans are dead. Thousands of innocent lives have been lost. Costs are rising at home. And still there is no clear strategic objective. That’s the price of arrogance without strategy.

@PulseOrbit @mattvanswol Churches in general do not have members who randomly go boom.

@mattvanswol Funny how churches, synagogues, and temples get built across America without people screaming “takeover.” A mosque gets proposed and suddenly the town hall turns into a post-9/11 Facebook comment section.

🚨#BREAKING: A permit to demolish a residential home and build a 3,000 square foot mosque just outside of Charlotte NC, has been DENIED by the County Council.
"Arafath Mohammad" did not inform any neighbors of his plan to build a mosque when he purchased the home.
Residents stormed the council hearing saying:
“Islam is not a religion, it’s a takeover,” said a Lancaster County resident opposed to the project.
“We do not want Sharia law in this area,” said another Lancaster County resident.
After 2 HOURS of residents voicing their opposition, the council unanimously denied the permit.

@malcolmkenyatta Scotus: Can't use race on maps.
Dems: Please let us
Scotus: Can't us race on maps.
Dems: Please let us use our race map.
Scotus: NO!
Scotus is not corrupt, dumb F(*&s trying to use race to draw maps are.

@morninggloria “White-armed Helen"
This is how Homer described her.

Helen of Troy was the daughter of Zeus and a swan. Is there a historically accurate color for a swan-god baby?
Taya Bass@travelingflying
Imagine the outrage if a historically non-White character like Pocahontas were made White in a movie. Yet it’s considered acceptable to make all historically White characters non-White in movies. This is racism against White people.

@TheChrisLambert Do you not realize how fucking racist a race quota is?
15 pieces of flair is the minimum. You still get punished if you don't exceed that.

These idiots don’t understand how the Oscar diversity policy works
There are FOUR standards. A film must meet diversity TWO of them to be eligible for Best Picture
1. Cast, Story, Themes
2. Creative leadership, Crew
3. Industry access
4. Marketing/Publicity
Emma Thomas is a producer, Jennifer Lane is an editor. That means Odyssey has already met Standard 2.
Universal Pictures and has an internship program for underrepresented groups. That satisfies Standard 3.
The Odyssey qualifies for the award without having anything to do with its cast.

Elon Musk is doubling down on his criticisms against Christopher Nolan’s #TheOdyssey, claiming the director’s diverse casting choices were made to meet #Oscars eligibility requirements. “Who specifically is the asshole who added DEI lies to Academy Awards eligibility instead of it just being about making the best movie?” he asked. “Chris Nolan desecrated ‘The Odyssey’ so that he would be eligible for an Academy Award.” variety.com/2026/film/news…

@MurrayHillGuy1 With that high of a body count any real intimacy cannot happen.
This goes for both males and females.
After about 9 the statistics show that it is almost guarantee to never succeed in marriage or long term relationships.

Friend is in an absolute pickle rn…
He’s been on like 7+ dates with this girl, really likes her, everything’s going great.
Then last night for whatever reason (never ask this question) he asked her body count.
70+.
Now he wants to end it immediately.
She’s 27, he’s 30.
Is this valid or is he being soft?

@DrNeilStone Pasteurization is fine and dandy....
The problem is all the other additives you just ignore.

Raw milk is best with the potentially life threatening bacteria taken out of it
Which is called pasteurisation.
Odd that I have to explain this in 2026 but apparently so

@elonmusk Look at the damage it does to the aquifers and environment long term.
We are going to end up creating massive deserts with little hope of recovery.
I am for Ai and data centers.
They need to be powered and cooled in ways that it doesn't destroy local economies and environment.
