Someone told me I shouldn’t help spread pictures of the Cornell 7 guys, because it might destroy their lives.
Sweetie, that’s what I’m counting on.

Sometimes I would wonder if Glen Hansard really existed….
Seriously, he was such an angelic presence… not otherworldly…in fact, very present this presence…
A smiling rascal if you needed him to be… this most musical and mischievous archangel of Ballymun… no airs, plenty of graces...
Of course, Glen was the shining star of the Christmas Eve busk… sometimes the only one reminding the rest of us that Christmas began with a refugee born in a manger, which is hardly a step from living on the street.
To be utterly yourself by being more interested in others - a clue for any of us trying out different personas. He really was who you thought he was. He could never walk by a person living rough without checking they were OK… and more than that, he worked very hard so that less people had to live on the streets in the first place.
When the crowds got bigger and for safety’s sake Glen had to agree to move the busk to a stage kindly provided outside The Gaiety Theatre, he would say 'we’ll give it our best but it’s not a busk if we’re not on the street!’ …because that’s who he was - a performer at eye level in any situation. The stage was a separation he wouldn’t recognize. Of all the grand and gigantic venues he and The Frames played, you sensed the street was his most favoured place to perform. And street people, his favourite audience.
Voice of the streets. A choir of angels in one man. The rest of us blessed to stand there beside our very own and very earthed Angel Gabriel… All of us welcome in his choir, whatever shape or form.
….and I’m telling myself this morning that if he never existed, then he can never cease to exist. For me, he will always be everywhere I see a coin spinning into an open guitar case.
May you rest in the peace you gave to so many.

I saw The Odyssey (🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟) a second time on Friday immediately after seeing it Thursday. This is the only time in the history of running this account that I’ve reviewed the same film back-to-back the day after its release. And after seeing The Odyssey a second time, I’m honestly ready for a third. Yes, I consider this one of the best films of the decade. Yes, I consider this the single best film of Christopher Nolan’s career. And yes, this is the film I think will win the Oscar for Best Picture, including Dune: Part 3 - and I say that as someone who has seen three minutes of Dune 3 & couldn’t believe his eyes. The Odyssey is quite frankly one of the best films I’ve ever seen.
Those of you who’ve followed me by now know how strongly I believe that movies are moments: long after we’ve seen a film, we don’t remember plot-lines, characters, or even how a film ends sometimes. We remember moments. I consider a “masterpiece” a film that is filled with moment after moment after moment. That is precisely what The Odyssey achieves: it gives us moment…after moment…after moment.
Upon rewatching a second time, albeit not in IMAX on 70 MM this go around, what stood out to me the most is that Nolan pulls off a different type of magic every time Odysseus and his men pull off to shore. First, it’s the Cyclops, which might honestly be the film’s best sequence. Then, it’s the mammoth warriors on Laestrygonians. Followed by Circe’s Island where Odysseus’s men are turned into animals. All of which is followed by a trip to Hades & then the Sirens’ Island. Each of these sequences demands something different from Nolan as a filmmaker. He’s forced to deploy different styles & techniques throughout- some utilize sound & practical effects more (the Cyclops) others have to literally navigate the sea (Sirens’ Island). But every last one of these sequences constitutes a moment. Strung together, you get a masterpiece. That’s all without mentioning the flashback sequences describing the fall of Troy, which, again, are fucking impossibly breathtaking.
The seminal moment of all the moments I just listed is Odysseus visiting Hades. Nolan primarily shot the Underworld in Iceland & upon rewatch, it’s this sequence that really took my breath away. It’s arguably the emotional core of the entire film outside of Odysseus’s final monologue to Penelope in the film’s last act. The way Sinon & Agamemnon rise from the dead & tell their stories is haunting & chilling while totally unforgettable. It’s one of my favorite sequences from any Nolan film ever. It’s also the best use of the score throughout the film.
I’ve had enough time & I’ve given enough thought- Hell, I’ve spent 6 hours watching this film in two days- and I truly consider The Odyssey to be as good as Gladiator, The Lord of the Rings, or any other epic of my lifetime. From the score to the cast to the final frame, I don’t think there’s anything about this movie I would change. The Odyssey might be the best film released since I started this account. At a minimum, it’s struck me the most in the immediate aftermath of my first two viewings.
Cinema lives.

GREAT NEWS‼️‼️‼️‼️
E. Jean Carroll just received Donald Trump's $5 million — plus interest!
Despite Trump's repeated sexist attempts to block Carroll from receiving the money, $5,625,005.48 was just disbursed to her.
HUGE CONGRATS!
Justice for @ejeancarroll 👏👏👏

What a disgraceful, dangerous interjection from @KayBurley.
Part of the many reasons survivors were/are reluctant to come forward is that they might feel that they are up against a monstrous system due to the way Andrew is seen & portrayed in the media. What a horrible comment

My daughter Annika is proudly autistic and 12 years old.
She drew this butterfly from a photo she took herself — every vein, every scale, rendered by hand on a tablet.
She signs everything she makes. Dates it. Like she already knows it matters.
She's turning 13 tomorrow. Please share this for her birthday. Let's make her day.

I'm not kidding, the only way to avert a devastating global energy crisis and war is to leak the Epstein files and remove Donald Trump from office. It needs to happen right now
