Saw the Odyssey at Alamo Drafthouse this afternoon, and I absolutely loved it. I loved the script, loved the casting, loved the direction, loved the cinematography, loved the choices they made in converting an epic poem into a film. 12/10, would watch again. Enjoy things. It's worth it.

Orange Turd in Oval Office violates the Constitution and multiple laws every day. His private military aka ICE kills innocent people with zero consequences. If it walks like a duck and talks like a dictator it can only be one thing

Mitch McConnell hasn’t been seen or heard from in 6 weeks(!) in the hospital. Yet he still has a job, still getting paid, and getting unlimited world class healthcare. The man who voted against a living wage, against universal healthcare, and against guaranteed paid leave—is now getting all three.

I think presidents and former presidents should not be pardonable, not by their successors, not by governors, not at all. Abbsolute accountability should be part of the job description.

A bunch of right-wing chuds writing "reviews" of the Odyssey and still slamming the casting of Elliot Page "as Achilles." He doesn't play Achilles (which should have been obvious the whole time cause Achilles is DEAD by The Odyssey). But yes tell me about this movie you TOTALLY saw for real!

I mean privilege in is original meaning, not as a social advantage. No one has the right to be a senator. It is earned, ideally through being s withheld person that other feel is representarive of the best of us, the wisest, the most ethical and just. Yeah, I know, but I did say ideally. 😄

Point is, according to "due process," he was found not guilty. There was enough evidence to convict, yes and it was pretty obvious h he did it, yet the jury handed back not guilty. Verdicts can take away rights which is why courts must be so rigorous. Being a senator is a privilege not a right.

In principle, that's legit. But the process right now is incredibly corrupt, run by people who don't see a problem with SA or PDF.

If a Dem governor won't even push the envelope and appoint a new senator for missing McConnell's seat, what do you think they'll all do if DJT calls off elections or other shenanigans?

If it's part of a regular health exam for troops and had no bearing on their career, like pap smears and prostate exams, cool. But if it's to screen out men for medical discharge, it's a terrible idea based in ignorance.

Serving in the Senate is a profound privilege, not a right he's in danger of being deprived of, so we don't need a court to decide this. The tattoo is enough. The affairs are enough. The allegation is enough. If we can't find a man who hasn't cheated on his wife or coerced sex, maybe run a woman.

That said, there's a lot of smoke for there not to be a fire. So I'm not sure why we aren't believing the women coming forward. Sexual adventurism is kind of a check box for politicians. It's one reason Obama was so refreshing.

OJ did have due process. He was guilty, everyone knew that and talked about it, bu the court find him not guilty on technicalities. My point is not that this guy is guilty. It's that social media isn't a court. It's public opinion which isn't subject to rigorous rules of evidence.

I don't think you instant what I meant. My bad. Those women were wrong to accuse those innocent men, 100%. But because of the world women lived in then where your virginity/reputation/marrisgeability was your sole stock in trade, they were motivated by self preservation. That is not present here.

If we don't refuse candidates with serious allegations and admissions of misbehavior against them, how are we different from the GOP? Is it so very hard to find a man who hasnt abused women? Maybe we should be electing bears.

Although this regime's reign of terror and corrupting had shown us some serious holes in the constitution we need to plug. We need a way for the people to do what congress won't that doesn't involve torches and pitchforks like a no confidence vote.

Cats usually don't go far, especially if they're indoor cats. But they do tend to go into small enclosed spaces, so get your neighbors to check their sheds and garages, compost bins. Check any rooms or closets with closed doors at least once a day. Best of luck.

Unregulated AI deployment risks significant job losses, increasing poverty while boosting corporate profits. It may also enable criminal activity through security breaches and scams, as its unchecked advancement overlooks serious societal consequences.

I remember wanting to see it as a child, but when we finally went to the theater, it was gone. I never managed to catch it in TV, either, and eventually I forgot about it. Now I'm gonna go look for it and finally watch it all these years later.

Refuk pretend to be the party of the workers and want to lure the Unions In reality they vote against worker rights, think the minimum wage is too high, will scrap equality laws and probably look forward to using our 'Brexit freedoms' to scrap those pesky profit-reducing H&S laws. Scum, basically.

Trump WAS a Democrat, and YES, I hated him then too, you soup fork.

No one hates Trump because he's a Republican, we hate him because he's a shitty human being- which was evident long before his time in politics.
