Christopher Nolan’s Odyssey is not just ridiculous because it’s... woke, it falls flat even from an artistic, cinematographic perspective. Watching Ellen Page try to depict an ancient Greek soldier running through the desert, is as visually absurd as watching an elderly Robert De Niro in Martin Scorsese’s The Irishman, playing a young Frank Sheeran. Ellen Page as a male Greek soldier, carries the same level of absurdity as watching the Grocery kicking scene in The Irishman, where Robert De Niro is supposed to be depicting a male in in his 30’s, while he’s visibly and mechanically in his late 70’s. Every kick stiff and old, the same way “Elliot” flops through the desert like an adolescent child. Every time we have to call Ellen, Elliot, every time we’re supposed to pretend Lupita Nyong'o represents Helen of Troy, and every time we’re supposed to pretend The Odyssey looks like ancient Greece, it hits home with the same level of absurdity as watching Joe Pesci say “What’s the matter, kid?” to a 76 year old Robert De Niro. In both instances, there is a common theme. The theme is selfishness and self-centeredness. Sure Robert De Niro could have given a portion of his role to a young up and coming actor, and sure Christopher Nolan could have used this film to promote some talented Greek actors, but that would be too rational, too audience-focused. Who care what the audience wants? Who cares how absurd this is visually, and conceptually, it’s what we want — and we’ll force feed it to you! We live in the world of “truths”, where everyone’s “truth” is more important than the actual truth.show more

In the climax of the Greek epic, The Odyssey,... Odysseus strings a bow and shoots an arrow through 12 axes to win back the hand of his wife, Penelope. The written version of the tale, dated between the 8th and 7th centuries B.C., is as old as time. A godlike man has just helped win the Trojan War (with some deceit thrown in), and now must return home to Ithaca, his wife, and his son. But for many familiar with an equally ancient epic from thousands of miles away, the Ramayana, the parallels are too eerie to be a coincidence. In the Ramayana, too, Rama effortlessly lifts a bow that nobody else can and strings it to win the hand of his wife, Sita. “Does The Odyssey actually have a Ramayana reference in the climax?” one Indian user incredulously asks about Christopher Nolan’s latest film adaptation. “I’m 100% sure it’s inspired by Ramayana,” another responds. But is that true? The Juggernaut spoke to experts to explain exactly how two canonical texts composed 3,500 miles apart — The Odyssey and the Ramayana — are linked across time, place, and people. Read the full story by Isha Banerjee belowshow more

What is an individual? Can we accept the idea... that an individual is not an isolated being, but a totality of traits, ideas, and deeds that arise within humanity, are shaped by it, and return to it? Every human being is a temporary form through which humanity expresses a part of itself. : The author redefines the individual not as an isolated entity but as a transient expression of humanity itself: a unique constellation of traits, ideas, and deeds that emerge from the collective, are molded by it, and ultimately return to enrich it. Each person serves as a temporary vessel through which humanity manifests and explores its own nature. This dissolves the illusion of absolute separateness, revealing every life as an integral thread in the living fabric of humankind. It portrays individuality as both gift and responsibility: a fleeting opportunity to contribute distinct value to the whole. The concept elevates personal existence to a sacred role in humanity’s continuous self-creation. It leads to recognition that our thoughts, actions, and choices ripple beyond the self, shaping the shared human story. Ultimately, framing every individual as both creation and co-creator of humanity’s evolving essence, bound in profound interdependence.show more

So, my opinion on what the Antarctic (Antarctica) Anomaly... is that it's a type of frequency technology. It must be way more powerful than HAARP, as many have claimed it to be, because we would see these anomalies at other HAARP sites, and we don't, not like this. With that said, and I'm very much trying to avoid letting what I want it to be not play a part here, I think it is a technology that is being used either off the coast of Antarctica itself or Bouvet Island. A third possibility is an area just to the northwest of the island that looks odd. It's possible it is a sonar scan from a ship, but why in that remote location? It looks like an antenna set up or rows of something that is out of place. I also believe that the weather events and fires that have taken place in Africa could possibly have been because of this. Each time we saw the anomaly, it was followed by a destructive weather event in Africa. A weird connection to that is we have been told and warned of a very busy 2024 Atlantic hurricane season. This is in part because of the above-average Atlantic ocean temperatures, which is the fuel to Hurricanes. With all this info, it's possible to see how the Anomaly could be a frequency tech that can manipulate or create weather, And or WARM up the Ocean temps to purposely enhance the Hurricane season and Storm growth. Keep in mind that many of our hurricanes and many of the biggest hurricanes have come from the west coast of Africa and form over the Cape Verde islands before heading towards the Caribbean and the United States. This is all of course speculation, and I'm learning many new things every day, so this idea may morph over time as we learn more. In the end, it is very hard to ignore all these findings. #antarctica #anonaly #AntarcticaAnomaly #BouvetIslandshow more

On the road to find the Grave of an... NS party member that died in the early 1930’s in Eastern-Prussia. His grave is located on his estate property as this family was from an aristocratic family. The grave is Pagan and Christian at the same time.. The Haken* in the middle shows light beams on the side to depict the sun. The grave stands deep in the forest surrounded by a half circle of stones. There is also a Christian Cross on his coffin. The most interesting is that there is quote from Christ AND from AH on the back of his gravestone. This shows that this individual regarded both Christ and AH as his saviour. This locations is deep in the woods and hard to get to, the family estate is no longer there and no paths lead to it.. There is only nature, silence and a forgotten grave of another era.show more

Today is the birthday of the great Malcolm X.... His message is still relevant today because we still live under the same capitalist system that has to change for things to get better. “You’re living at a time of revolution. A time where there’s got to be a change. People in power have misused it. And now there has to be a change and a better world has to be built.

The UFO/UAP phenomenon is ancient. It has been here... long before us, and it is connected to a grand hierarchy created by God. They are coming from higher dimensions, something that religions would describe as the Tree of Life. The phenomenon is part of us, and our soul is part of this grand system. We are currently in the lowest dimension, chakra, sefirot, or part of the soul, known as Malkhut in Kabbalah, Muladhara in Hinduism, and Khat in ancient Egypt. We are made of matter, but our soul is made of fire, and it is time for an upgrade. The Geophysical Event is connected to this transformation.show more

IT’S OUT! Head over to the Gorillaz YouTube channel... now (link in bio) to watch the full film. This film is a true love letter to the golden era of 2D animation. We worked incredibly hard alongside Jamie Hewlett to make it as period-accurate as possible and, like all our projects, it was hand-drawn by an incredible team of artists. We even used a variety of practical effects in the film, which was a lot of fun to do. We had a brilliant time making this film and learnt a huge amount while studying the masters of the 60s and 70s. If you’ve been following the release of The Mountain, you know how special and meaningful this project is. We’re so proud to be a part of it and want to say a massive thank you to Jamie and Eleven Management for trusting us to tell this beautiful story. We couldn’t be prouder of the work we did together, and we're so happy to be sharing it with the world! #Gorillaz #THELINE #TheMountainshow more

The Sabotaging Practice of Over Supply and Sameness in... the NFT Space. The current zeitgeist of the NFT space is that the same artists are doing the same kind of work five times a year, with project after project leaving a trail of disappointment and discontent among collectors and all of us watching in disbelief as huge resources are extracted from the space over work that feels like it could be left as an "artist study." I understand that you can do what you want with your money as collectors, but we are killing the whole space with this incestuous practice. No artist is that prolific to be able to do 5 collections of 100+ pieces each every year and actually deliver innovation and some kind of creative evolution. Of course, they can pretend play that the work has something new, but there is no precedent nor proof that that has ever happened in the speed that it happens in the NFT space. Again, people are free to through away their resources on whatever they want but with this way of doing things, we more and more are going to start seeing the consequences. Oh! There are consequences? Yes. Maybe unintended, but there are. Let's see. Let's start with the loss of belief in the NFT space as somewhere where emerging artists can come and find support for their experiments. Why even bother to bring experiments, innovation, and new ways to think of art on the blockchain if the same people have all the collectors hypnotized with their magical flutes? Why even try to come to a space where taking risks and challenging the status quo (the mission of art!!!) is overlooked? This makes the NFT space a social club and not a space for art. I guess it is fine, but IMO it is a recipe for disaster. New collectors stay away because the art will slowly but surely become stale and un-challenging. Why even bother to come and see what is happening here if you can't, as a collector, see new weird and up-and-coming artists? The amount of noise emitted by the same artists doing the same art over and over, drowns out any new voices. Again. A recipe for disaster. The NFT space is becoming a space of disappointment and doubt. We think that collections going to zero one after the other, over and over, is not damaging? I feel we are kidding ourselves. Disappointment piles up, and again, the people who will hurt are the emerging artists, the new blood, the ones who are willing to risk the most and, in return, put fire in this cold space of sameness. I love this space—don't get me wrong—it has changed my life, and I believe it has a ton of potential, but things need to change for it to become a beacon of light in art. But we need to support new voices. We need to support new ideas. The challenge is huge. I hope to contribute all I can to this change. I hope more and more see how exciting it is to go out and try to discover what else is out there and move this space forward. But again, I understand the leaps of faith needed, but if there is a space that is based on that, it's the NFT space...so there is hope. We will see. 📺by Boldtronshow more

Did you know that in the ancient Tibetan traditions... there is a hidden city known as Shambala where human knowledge never dies and is safe from destruction and catastrophic events? That city is placed somewhere north, high in the mountains! What does that remind you of? It's an ancient doomsday bunker city made by the elite survivors or a breakaway civilization. I have an idea of where that secret location is. The Greek version of Shambala is Hyperborea, which is located beyond the northern winds or near the North Pole. It's home to an advanced civilization and the god Apollo.show more

There are moments when silence becomes unbearable in the... face of injustice. Being separated from my own child, watching a sacred bond be broken, and living under the weight of narratives that do not reflect the truth is a pain no mother should ever have to endure. But the truth does not disappear simply because it has been hidden. It remains, waiting to be seen, heard, and acknowledged. Today, more than ever, I call for justice to do its job. Not out of revenge, not out of pride, but for a child’s right to know the truth and for a mother’s right not to be judged by distortions, omissions, or false narratives. Time is passing, and every day lost is a day that can never be returned to a mother and her child. That is why this matter is urgent. Justice delayed has real human consequences. Every moment that the truth remains buried deepens a wound that should never have existed. I will continue to fight through lawful means, with dignity and determination, because facts matter, truth matters, and the bond between a mother and her child matters. The truth must be revealed. The facts must be examined. Justice must prevail. For the sake of a child, for the sake of truth, and for the sake of what is right, this cannot wait any longer.show more

From the longbowmen who stood their ground against the... French knights at Agincourt and the sailors of Nelson's fleet in the Trafalgar cape in 1805, all the way through to the soldiers who charged the beaches at Normandy and the brave men and women who withstood the Blitz and the relentless bombing of London, each and every one of these people did what they did for a common idea, the idea of being BRITISH. Our whole country is in the grip of an establishment which wishes to wash away everything it means to be British to tell you that you cannot be proud of who you are or where you come from, to tell you that you can't be proud of our little island which conquered and civilized the entire world. The island that wrote and signed the Magna Carta, the island whose language dominates the global culture and is spoken in every corner of the globe. This is our moment, this is our last chance to salvage what is left of the United Kingdom before it is too late. Before our way of life exists only in history books, taught somewhere in Russian or Chinese, culminating in the story of how we lost it all, how we threw it ALL away. It’s time to make Britain great again.show more

Today a group of Muslims prayed next to the... Ministry of Defence, facing the Iraq and Afghanistan memorial. As I have said before, choosing to pray in this way in public is a political act. It is a social statement and, yes, it is an act of domination. Anybody who understands Islamism understands that the domination of public spaces is part of the modus operandi. It is done so Islamists can show who is in charge - and to show other Muslims and the wider public that the authorities will bend to their will. There is quite obviously no need to pray here. The decision to do so is symbolic and pointed. It is not welcome. We have freedom of religion in this country, which is why there are mosques. But we are not a Muslim country and this is not welcome. It should be stopped.show more
