“Housing for billionaires” is not the problem

Ben Kallos was upset. Not hostile, but definitely not happy. The former Council member had called this spring to object to my column about Hal Fetner’s failed attempt to build housing on a NYCHA site. This paragraph in particular bothered him: “Mayor Zohran Mamdani and other progressives are now pushing for more affordable housing in wealthier neighborhoods. Where were these people in 2017 when Hal Fetner and NYCHA leaders were getting pummeled by idiots like Ben Kallos?” “Idiots” was the wrong word. Nothing can be gained from calling someone an idiot, other than a brief dopamine hit. Besides, Kallos was []This article originally appeared on The Real Deal. Click here to read the full story.

Movie MAGA Tried to Cancel Scores Astonishing Rave Reviews

Melinda Sue Gordon/Universal Pic / Courtesy Universal PicturesChristopher Nolan’s adaptation of The Odyssey is being lauded by critics, despite MAGA’s attempts to condemn the film before it was even made public. Variety called it “an astonishing achievement,” adding that the performances from the star-studded cast were “genuinely grand.” The Independent said, “In The Odyssey, Nolan showcases visual trickery in a way you’ve never seen a few before.” Time Out’s film critic declared the film is a “dizzying mix of craft and spectacle that’s built to last,” and described it as “dense but accessible, packed with career-best work from the stacked cast.” IndieWire’s editor-at-large predicted Best Actor award nominations for Matt Damon, who plays Odysseus. Fandango and Rotten Tomatoes movie critic Erik Davis deemed the 3-hour spectacle an “absolute triumph” and crowned Oscar winner Nolan “one of the great filmmakers of our time.”Read more at The Daily Beast.

Hollywood continues to ‘bend the knee’ to DEI in new Odyssey diversity glaze

Broadcaster Lucy Zelic weighed in on the controversy surrounding Hollywood’s adaptation of the Odyssey, criticising director Christopher Nolan’s casting choices and accusing the industry of prioritising DEI over the original story. “It’s regarded by scholars as a foundational pillar of Western literature, but Academy Award-winning Nolan decided the original story just wasn't good enough by Hollywood's woke standards because it didn't feature enough people of colour, trans-identified characters or women," Ms Zelic said. “Nolan's decision to cast actress Lupita Nyong'o, who is of Kenyan-Mexican heritage, as Helen of Troy and trans-identified woman Elliot Page as Greek soldier Sinon … has drawn widespread criticism. “The real issue here is the hypocrisy and the incessant desire to bend the knee to DEI. “The rules only ever seem to apply to a certain group of people."

Should Keir Starmer follow Mikel Arteta’s leadership method? | Letters

Readers respond to Jonathan Freedland’s article on Arsenal and one of its most famous fansCongratulations to Arsenal on winning the Premier League. However, I fear that Jonathan Freedland’s allegiances have led him to a flawed attempted analogy (Arsenal’s title win should be studied by politicians everywhere – and especially Keir Starmer. Here’s why, 22 May). Keir Starmer has already achieved success after a long period in the wilderness – winning a landslide victory in the 2024 general election.The analogy goes further: both achieved success by being boring – Starmer by avoiding radical ideas, Arsenal by shutting up shop and relying on set-piece goals. Both also took advantage of their main rivals’ weakness. The Tory party was in disarray, while both Manchester City and Liverpool have underperformed – achieving fewer points than usual or expected this season. Mikel Arteta and Starmer took advantage of structural advantages: Labour relying on first past the post and Arsenal the lax refereeing of fouls at corners.Peter BreitenbachLondon Continue reading...

Camilla Tominey reacts to bombshell interview where Keir Starmer's Cabinet ally refused to deny PM will resign tomorrow

Camilla Tominey has shared a snap reaction to her bombshell interview with Peter Kyle on Sir Keir Starmer’s future.In the tense exchange, the Business Secretary and ally of the Prime Minister refused to deny that he will resign on Monday. The GB News host grilled Mr Kyle on whether Sir Keir would step down amid intense speculation that he is set to announce his departure on Monday. “Peter Kyle couldn't answer it like that because he doesn't want to shaft his friend and ally. Tricky. “What I thought was interesting about the interview, as well, is that the narrative is turning into one of sympathy. “What we heard from Peter Kyle today is a pitch rolling of a potential appearance by Keir Starmer in Downing Street, saying it's over tomorrow, but also this idea that we must have sympathy for a man, a decent man who tried his best,” Camilla said.WATCH THE FULL REACTION ABOVE Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter
