Anyway, my current candidates for stupid MF’ers in the news are notorious rightwing influencers Matt Walsh and Elon Musk, who are presently having highly online toddler tantrums about the alleged “wokeness” of director Chris Nolan casting Lupita Nyong’o to play Helen of Troy in his forthcoming film _The Odyssey_.

Because of course no director could possibly be sincere in thinking a Black actress is qualified to portray a character renowned as the most beautiful woman in the world. 🙄 (Never mind that in 2014 _People_ magazine literally named Nyong’o as their choice for “the world’s most beautiful person”.) I mean, have you **seen** that woman? She will make a stunning Helen.
