Look, I'm sure that Nolan's adaptation of "The Odyssey" will be fun, but I highly doubt it will be as good as the original.

Many get sick while traveling.
One major reason is they don’t realize mass transit is high risk because airline CEOs lied about viral spread early in the pandemic and lobbied the CDC to lower precautions.
To make the most of your holiday, take precautions like wearing a mask when you travel!

US media has decided to pretend that the Epstein-Nassar Letter Epstein sent just before he died merely had a "crude reference" to Trump.
NO.
It was a clear, unambiguous allegation by Epstein that Trump *regularly sexually assaulted* "young, nubile girls."
Our media is BROKEN.

I highly recommend watching this segment, not just because the CBS News execs and the White House didn’t want you to, but because these men were tortured and they deserved to have their voices heard.

(It was uploaded to the Global TV app in Canada, seemingly by accident, and has now been taken down)

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

The treatment of the Filton24, and the hunger strikers in particular, is astonishingly cruel and unjust. One young man I know is in jail pending trial in *2027*. The mental toll on the accused and their families is despicable.
Eight Palestine Action activists are being left to die in prison – all without even facing trial.

Just now, a national trans healthcare felony ban for youth has passed the US House, with 10 year prison terms.
3 Dems crossed party lines to vote to jail providers.
4 GOP crossed party lines to vote against.
It is not expected to pass the Senate, where Dems hold filibuster power.
Story to come.
