Can’t wait for the day when he’s caught on tape blowing a drag queen in a bus terminal.

What if his kink is public humiliation?

All to the good, but he may want to weigh the con$equence$ when his flock find out.

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.

My only objection to Elliot Page as Achilles is that he’s too short. 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.

They made John Rhys-Davies short. I'm sure they can do the opposite with Elliot.

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

What? Alligator Alcatraz is closing?! But it looked so promising. They spent $1B building it only to be already obsolete.

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.

“We’ve saved taxpayers money,” he told onlookers at an unrelated Brevard County press conference. “We’ve saved taxpayers from medical care and schooling [of undocumented immigrants] and all these different things. … I’d rather do what’s right, and I’d rather protect the people that I was elected to serve.”

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.

“If you send in U.S. military troops into Iran, there is going to be a political revolution in America,” Greene wrote on X.

“WE. ARE. DONE,” she continued. “We said no more foreign wars, and we meant it. The coalition will unite and be unstoppable. I’ll make sure of it.”

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.

Idiots often have inflated sense of importance and considering how stupid she is she is sure to have one big ass ego.
