Can we please kill the movie trope of "tragic fate-ridden man who lost all hope, finds something new to live for and then dies"? It is so immensely bleak and I don't like that men around the world are taught that they only find happiness when they are willing to accept, that it will be brutally taken from them, one way or another.
Just f***ing kill this trope! Burn it, pour molten lead over it and drown it in the deepest ocean, ugh!!!!

#trope

Mon #vendredilecture avec un peu d'avance...

𝐉'𝐚𝐢 𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭é 𝐥𝐚 #𝐍𝐞𝐰𝐑𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 !
Je me suis promis de tester pour sortir de mes habitudes de #lecture .
𝐁𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐧:
👉 Un début agréable. De l'humour. Le #trope est le #fakedating ( les deux protagonistes font croire qu'ils sont ensemble et se prennent finalement au jeu). Une ambiance bien construite de comédie romantique.
👉 C'est certes caricatural, mais je l'ai lu très vite et avec plaisir. Un genre léger, parfois drôle, avec des personnages charmants.

Oh boy... we've crossed some kinda threshold here. 👀

"At a political event in #SanFrancisco on Wednesday afternoon, individuals present chanting “tax the rich” switched their chant to “tax the #Jews,” San Francisco Mayor #DanielLurie stated.

“This was an event I put on with [District Five] Supervisor [Bilal] #Mahmood, labor leaders, and dozens of workers to announce a plan that creates more jobs for those workers and housing for #SanFranciscans,” #Lurie said of the event in a post to X/Twitter.

“Suggesting that Jews are wealthy is a tired #trope, and targeting our community at an event focused on creating economic opportunity for San Franciscans is decidedly #antisemitic,” the Democratic mayor added."

Wherein Jewish Currents creates a mysterious question about Jewish identity that falls into the trope they describe. So fucking dumb. Jew knows Jews is not weird.

"Faced with this old #antisemitic #trope of a wealthy, sexually perverse #Jewish #cabal that controls the interlocking worlds of #finance, #media, #academia, and #politics, we can bring a corrective clarity by pointing instead to #capitalism itself as the #conspiracy; we can also locate Epstein within a much broader and not distinctly Jewish #elite network that is bound together not by a shared identity but by a deep #misogyny and desire to protect powerful men from accountability for #sexualmisconduct and crimes. What’s less clear, however, is what to make of the many banal markers of Jewish identity that run through the story Epstein and his friends told about themselves. One can recognize a nostalgic, almost kitschy relationship to Jewish identity that plenty of ordinary #Jews tend to indulge in."
