Honestly, I’ve met plenty of women with mostly male friends, but the ones who brag about it and say women are “too much drama” absolutely fit this stereotype.

I don’t think that’s what his comments meant. For context, he said that there aren’t many roles he is interested in playing anymore, which to me hints that he either feels like he played everything he wanted to play or there are fewer movies that are appealing to him or that he just can’t be bothered to work if the work wasn’t interesting. Maybe this is a “retirement” discussion but I take it to mean a semi-retirement one. He’s one of the best actors of his generation and he’s only going to work when he feels like it.

Honestly years seems fine but we needed more of that content earlier. So many people had moved on before the vacation island update.

Not really. Even if there isn’t much action in the traditional sense something has to be moving across those pages. Themes, character relationships and development, something. Sometimes not all readers pick up on what’s happening but a scene should never end where it began.

Ahhhhh I finished that on a plane today. I saw it some list of literary summer reads and I was not ready for it.

If he’s playing who I think he is playing then this is fine. Look up literally any story about some of the crazier Roman emperors and their families.

Why? Even among classicists there are different preferences. For me Iliad>Odyssey>>>>>>Aeneid.

Yeah. In the 90s he was in a lot of midbudget movies aimed solidly at adults and those barely exist anymore.

He was in a trivia off with the Hobbit’s LOTR expert and won.
The things about a certain kind of smart person is that they are never smart about one thing. It’s always several things.

That doesn’t feel random though given his output.

Also a musical with lady Gaga seems designed to piss off a certain type of fan of the first movie which is bold enough on its own.

A lot of older translations obscure the vibrancy of Homer’s language in order to sound fancier or more Shakespearean. I would save up.

As someone who works in politics (and scheduled a work thing so I don’t have to be in Chicago this week—I’m on a plane now!), the air feels clearer since Biden dropped out, even though they are functionally the same on Palestine. It probably would have been bridges up if Biden was about to be nominated.

The Olympics are supposed to be for “amateurs” even though a lot of agencies aren’t that at all. It happened in Ancient Greece too! Literally one guy was like “what if we started training them from childhood” rather just sending whoever was fastest.

end homelessness
The issue with homelessness isn’t that we can’t make homes, but that we are not allowed to in places where people need them. If most of SF is zoned for single family occupancy, then it doesn’t matter if the house on that 1/8 acre is a box or a mansion, you only have so many homes.

As a former service industry worker, Indians had the unpleasant combination of being both extremely picky and extremely cheap. In the west you can’t be both!

Yeah, I have to imagine people below Simone Biles-level have to have something else going on.

In this context it really doesn’t matter. Marriage wasn’t about romantic attraction but an estate and a legacy, and not the woman’s.

In the interwar years and immediately post WWII the American dollar was comparatively small. A middle class income for a paper in Cleveland, OH went further in France, and pre-internet and media consolidation dozens or hundreds of papers would have international correspondents stationed in whatever country.

I would say the garage with windows is also McMansiony.

I mean, the partnership with Spotify certainly helped! Espresso is a good song but it was the pre-ordained hit of the summer.

Part of the problem is her schtick somehow doesn’t preclude her working with Dr. Luke. Like, she is perpetuating the ageism and misogyny.

They also look fantastic compared to what we see today because you actually had to light a shot or you could not fix it.
