There is no $700 dollar cap on assistance for those needing help in Maui. That is a lie. The head of FEMA never said that the residents of Maui shouldn’t be expecting any more financial assistance. That is also a lie.

(source)

Please beware of people spreading disinformation about Maui relief. These kind of lies usually come from Republicans, but be aware that pro-Russian, anti-Ukrainian “leftists” (aka tankies) will often spread the same, easily disproven lies and talking points — because the goal of sowing distrust is a shared one.

Republicans and tankies have no qualms about using the people of Maui’s suffering to push their agendas.

ranking all of ste hay's relationships

(NOT INCLUDING THE GIRLS, SUCH AS AMY AND SINEAD)

1. stendan (brendan brady)

this was the best love story ever written. argue with the wall if you don't agree.

i know and understand that it started as an abusive relationship and that's why some people don't like them together, but if we can forgive ste for abusing amy, why can't we forgive brendan?

brendan was beyond damaged and i think it was obvious he would never get his happy ending. his past would always catch up with him. but ste saved him. he showed him that there was love in the world. he made him believe he was capable of happiness, in a world he thought hated him. ste was the first, and only, person to see through brendan's tough exterior to the broken boy beneath.

they loved each other unconditionally and would always end up back together.

also their last scene was the saddest thing i've ever seen.

2. stug (doug carter)

okay, maybe ste never truly loved doug the way he loved brendan. but he cared about him a lot. i mean, he did marry him!

doug was sweet and innocent, fresh out of figuring out his own sexuality. ste needed that. he needed someone to challenge the darkness that brendan brought into his life. he needed someone to love him gently, because all he knew was violence.

doug did that. doug loved him no matter what, even when he kept going back to brendan. doug still looked out for him and held on to hope that they would get a real chance to be together. and they did.

granted, it was only because brendan was in prison, and doug knew that. but he didn't care. doug was too pure and loving and maybe he deserved better than ste, but that doesn't matter anymore.

also they had a proper build up where they became friends before realising they had feelings for each other, which i appreciate.

3. stames (james nightingale)

my current obsession!

i don't know what it is about them, but it just works so well. they constantly argue and betray each other, but you can see how much they need each other. they make each other happy when things are going good, and ste never gives up on james when things are bad. it's obvious they love each other, even if james has yet to say it back.

i understand why so many people hate them together, and i must admit i cringe at some of their scenes, but i can't help but love them together.

they may be broken up now, but the end is never the end for these two.

4. mchay (john paul mcqueen)

okay so i shipped them at the time. back in 2014, they worked well together. ste helped john paul through his ordeal with finn, and john paul supported ste through his drug addiction.

they both loved and cared for each other, but they could have never worked out in the long run. towards the end of their relationship, you could see they would be better apart. and although the show keeps trying to throw them back together, i think they're in a place now of mutual respect and love.

5) styan (ryan knight)

yeah... i shouldn't ship them but i do. maybe it's the element of enemies to lovers? i don't know what, but something about these two drew me in.

of course, we all knew their relationship was a temporary one, given that ryan murdered the mother of ste's children. but you could see they loved each other despite it all, and it was nice to see ryan comfortable in his sexuality.

6) stazim (azim desai)

i don't have much to say about these two because they were only together for five seconds, but they were a sweet couple. azim was one of the first people who wanted to help ste escape from stuart, and ste really needed that support.

their relationship could have worked if azim didn't leave the village, but they were cute while it lasted.

7) starry (harry thompson)

i HATED starry together. early starry were tolerable, but leading up to the end, you could just see they would be better off without each other.

especially since harry was having an affair with james.

these two went through a lot together, but i just could not get behind their relationship.

also, i hated harry with a passion.

8) stoah (noah baxter)

i don't remember much about these two, but i know noah annoyed me. i don't know what it was, but something about him irked me.

apart from that, i didn't really watch their relationship so i have nothing more to say.

'"Oppenheimer" is the summer blockbuster of the year. The visually and sonically compelling film does a lot of things right from examining the existential dread associated with our feeble humanity and analyzing the moral qualms with human ingenuity and its devastating outcomes that showcase we are the culprits of our own destruction.

But it also does some things wrong too. It has a woman problem.

Christopher Nolan's three-hour-long biopic tells the story of the brilliant quantum physicist, J. Robert Oppenheimer (Cillian Murphy) based on the biography "American Prometheus." The Oppenheimer we uncover in Nolan's film stresses that he is a charmer – he's a womanizer. Nolan wants the audience to know that not only is Oppenheimer one of the most important historical figures in the 20th century, but he also can pull a Communist female Stanford grad student.

One of the most polarizing aspects of the film is Oppenheimer's on again, off again relationship with said grad student, Jean Tatlock (Florence Pugh). Some would say the way Nolan portrays the relationship and Jean, and her inevitable death by suicide is indicative of a larger issue with the depiction of women in his films.

In their first encounter, they quickly find themselves in bed together. In a controversial scene, Jean and Oppenheimer are having sex while he reads Bhagavad Gita, a sacred text in Hinduism. He reads the line, "Now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds," during the act itself. Hindu right-wing nationalists called the scene an "attack on Hinduism."

But that isn't the only sex scene between the two in the film. Further into the behemoth of a film, in McCarthy-era America, a room full of government officials question Oppenheimer's former communist ties. He reveals to the board his previous relationship with Jean and how it evolved into an affair. He's now married to Kitty Oppenheimer (Emily Blunt), who is there in the room as he admits to his extramarital affair.

Nolan portrays this confession in the most blatant way possible. Without warning or explanation, a naked Jean is seen straddling and having sex with Oppenheimer as he sits in the chair being interrogated. Is it his imagination? Is it Nolan's one-the-nose way of showing the impact of the confession? Regardless, the audience sees this as the couple going at it while Oppenheimer is staring at the board of men questioning him. It's creepy. The imaginary Jean even glances directly at his wife – his wife who just found out Oppenheimer had been cheating on her for years. Is this storytelling device attention-grabbing? Absolutely, but not in a good way.

It's vital to point out the flaws in a filmmaker's perspective when it's used to only service a man's story and nothing else. As an audience member, the context of the scene and what it does for the larger narrative matters; it is a part of the moviegoer's entire film experience. And as I was watching the second sex scene with Oppenheimer and Jean, I gasped at how disjointed it felt from the larger story Nolan was attempting to illustrate. Sex scenes aren't inherently controversial, nor do they have to be, especially if they are filmed with appropriate boundaries and respect toward the actors and characters. But in "Oppenheimer" something about the audience watching the sex scene in the same way the characters in the interrogation room watched it – feels icky and voyeuristic. And also puzzling.

"Oppenheimer" is an engrossing film. Its riveting acting and nonlinear storytelling infused with cinematic shots of the galaxy and stars hold the audience in a trance. Well, that is until you watch that ill-advised foray into filmmaking voyeurism. It completely snatches you out of the film and puts you back into your body.

Moreso, the scene wouldn't be so jarring if there wasn't such little Jean in the film. Pugh's talents are wasted as she attempts to embody an emotionally embattled intellectual. Jean is a seemingly dark, unconventional type of woman from the 1940s. She is studying to be a psychiatrist but also struggles with depression, and it was speculated that she was queer. But we don't really receive any of this information from the film. We can tell that she's stubborn, volatile and complicated but we are more or less told that through Oppenheimer's perspective of her as his love interest.

This also counts for his wife, Kitty – another female character with unbridled, untapped potential. But of course, she only exists in the roles of love interest, mother and Oppenheimer's conscience. The film only slightly touches on Kitty's tragic past, potential mental health issues and rejection of motherhood. Thankfully, Blunt's acting makes the role feel fuller than it is written to be.

If we address Nolan's track record with female characters, he is known for two tropes: Dead Wife and Woman in A Refrigerator. Across the filmmaker's extensive work, he has a proclivity for fridging, that is killing off a female love interest – in films like "Memento," "The Prestige," "Inception" and "The Dark Knight" – as an alluring and tragic backstory for his male protagonists just like he did with Jean. Of course, she is based on a real person, but Nolan's treatment of her and her tragic death is the same as if she were fictional. The audience is left with very little understanding of Jean, not even with her tragic death. Instead, her most indelible scenes are as Oppenheimer's sex object or in death, a way to humanize the physicist. (And when Nolan doesn't get around to killing off his female characters, he sidelines them like Kitty or Elizabeth Delicki's character in "Tenet.")

Sure, you can argue the film being named "Oppenheimer" means it's entirely about him, and all the supporting characters should only act to elevate his story. The script was even written in first person to convey that every character is just a piece in Oppenheimer's narrative.

However, just because the story is titled "Oppenheimer" doesn't mean one has to adhere to such tunnel vision in storytelling. Case in point is another film named for a singular person – that came out on the same day as " Oppenheimer" in fact – and proves that argument flimsy at best.

"Barbie" does what "Oppenheimer" fails to do.

"Barbie" follows the journey of the human-sized doll (embodied by Margot Robbie) through her existential awakening, crisis and eventual empowerment. But it also spends a significant chunk of its runtime to give her counterpart Ken (Ryan Gosling) space to explore his "neediness, loneliness and identity crisis." Gary Kramer writes for Salon that Ken "hijack[s] the plot for long stretches and force[s] Barbie to help him, not the reverse."

Ken is Barbie's accessory boyfriend but he isn't treated as just her accessory boyfriend. In the writing, Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach allow Ken ample room for self-discovery. Ken is allowed to explore the human world without the need to be attached to Barbie's hip. He searches for his purpose and identity. He's even given a whole musical dance number to dive into his interiority. "Barbie" does what "Oppenheimer" fails to do. It gives purpose and depth to a supporting character's arc – depth that is entirely crucial to the emotional center, vulnerability and gravitas of a character like Barbie.

Ultimately, Nolan barely scratches the surface with his female ensemble and doesn't do their larger-than-life experiences justice. It just feels like a tired attempt to show us Nolan knows women exist but the catch is they do not exist outside of their relationships to men. (Sorry, Bechdel.) Their pain and suffering are a way to transform a man into the protagonist of his story, not hers.'
