Just caught up with this incredible podcast from @sturdyalex.bsky.social I loved the movie. I have never read the poem. So it was amazing to listen to classicists and film buffs swap notes together. The most accessible Nolan film gets the most accessible review 👏👏👏

Nolan does it again. The Odyssey is an exceptional movie. I’ve never really liked Matt Damon, but this is his best imo

This one hurts in ways worse than before. Why? The promise was fatally undermined by the tactics. Unforgivable errors. But also time. When my dad was my age he had 15 years left to live. Three cycles. Three. There are no guarantees I know. But time is running out www.theguardian.com/football/202...

been furious with Starmer for long enough that this is genuinely coming as a surprise to me, but I'm feeling a bit.......sad this morning? not really about him per se but about the waste of time, I guess, and the end of yet another political failure when Britain really couldn't afford another one

Is his white knuckled refusal to ease his grip on power about him or genuinely because he thinks it would be a disaster for Labour and the country?

All very depressing. Odds seem stacked in favour of Reform with only passing media attention of party and leader funding. And the mad orange baby sucking growth from the economy will make it harder come the GE to resist calls for change.

If the Strait of Hormuz opens again, we are back to where we started, just thousands of deaths later and many billions poorer. And all because there’s a mad man in the White House who we are sending the King to ego stroke next week.

Just fascinating to see Blair, a man whose reputation was ruined by the Iraq war, advocate joining a war that is exponentially stupider and more chaotic. How is it possible to learn nothing from the worst mistake of your life?

What a great thing to wake up to. Proof that progressives politics outweigh division and hate. A bad night for Labour who need to learn lessons very quickly. Well done the Greens.

A side note. The depiction of the water reps in #dirtybusiness is daft and at times offensive. Esp the three female staff of SW Water portrayed like three witches around a cauldron conspiring around lines of communication

The fact that the POTUS posting racist videos isn’t the major news story of the day shows us just how desensitised to his his racism the news has become. It’s actually terrifying

What is happening in United States is what happens when coercive powers of the state - arrest, detention, charges - are used as ends in themselves, and not as means of serving justice. They know the arrests and charges will not stick, but they don’t care. Intimidation, like cruelty, is the point.
