for those who’ve already seen THE ODYSSEY, i wrote about why we’ve never had a trojan horse sequence like this before www.cnn.com/2026/07/18/e...

The scene from Christopher Nolan’s ‘The Odyssey’ that will have people talking for decades | CNN

Nolan’s new film depicts the famed Trojan horse in a way not seen before on screen. It takes viewers inside the horse’s grueling conditions in a sequence that’s thrilling — and horrifying.

bf sent these pics of his flight above the smoke in nyc 🤢

this song was just nominated for an emmy btw

anyway else see the odyssey as nolan’s response to trumpism & our crumbling body politic/social contract??

there’s been a lot i’ve enjoyed about freelancing the last few years (and lots of which i’m very proud! it isn’t easy!) but i won’t lie and say it’s not nice to have a regular paycheck and an institution behind me once more.

my extremely cool official title is “senior reporter/writer for pop culture and power,” so basically covering society’s movers and shakers, from old stalwarts to the viral flashes in the pan, big new trends to niche subcultures.
