Christopher Nolan’s adaptation of Homer’s Odyssey features a star-studded cast, including Matt Damon as Odysseus, Tom Holland as Odysseus’ son Telemachus and Anne Hathaway as his wife Penelope. Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong’o, Zendaya and Charlize Theron are all also starring.
Among the extended cast is trans icon Elliot Page. Although the character he is playing has not yet been confirmed, rumours are circulating that he’s taking on the role of famed warrior Achilles. Many right-wing cinema-goers have made their less than positive feelings known on Page’s casting, including Newsmax anchor Rob Finnerty. Finnerty shared his thoughts on his news segment that aired this week. “The most famous warrior in all of history, not just Greek history, Achilles, is about to be played by a transgender woman in a brand new movie,” he said. Obviously, his first mistake is that Page is a trans man. His second is not realising that Achilles is famously a character from Greek mythology – not a historical figure – and did not actually exist. https://www.thepinknews.com/2026/05/14/e...-achilles/

Achilles was described as the tallest of all Greek warriors. Given the average height of Ancient Greek men (based on skeletal studies) as around 5’6”, Page at 5’1” doesn’t measure up. Nolan should re-make the entire film with a complete cast of trans and drag actors. People need to calm the fuck down. Boru

But frankly, Page as Achilles isn’t a deal breaker for me. Boru

What? Alligator Alcatraz is closing?! But it looked so promising. They spent $1B building it only to be already obsolete.
Quote:As Florida prepares to wind down the so-called “Alligator Alcatraz” lockup amid high costs and claims that it’s now obsolete, Gov. Ron DeSantis reflected Wednesday on the remote facility’s nine-month run.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Looking closer, it appears that Elliot's role is actually Elpenor, the youngest member of Odysseus' crew, a much more reasonable role for someone who barely cracks five feet tall.

MTG has threatened Donald Trump with a 'revolution' is he sends ground troops into Iran.
Quote:“If you send in U.S. military troops into Iran, there is going to be a political revolution in America,” Greene wrote on X. Really, Marge? YOU'LL make sure of it? Your notion of your own importance is more inflated than the Hindenburg (and likely to end the same way). Donald Trump responded by calling her a lunatic. Broken clocks and whatnot. Boru

The first revolt is against the supreme tyranny of theology, of the phantom of God. As long as we have a master in heaven, we will be slaves on earth.
