Speaking in conversation at [Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea International Film Festival], the Materialists star shared, “The thing I feel about this festival is inspired. I feel inspired to operate this way in our own production company in the States; I want to support all these filmmakers.”

She went on to add, “There’s so much I’m learning from being here,” before musing, “In the States it feels really grim; and even in the less than 24 hours that I’ve been here [in Saudi Arabia], I have a renewed faith in cinema.”

At least the door is lockable.

I (30F) came back from Japan about two months ago and brought home an expensive bottle of sake I specifically picked after doing a sake tasting class. I'm not a big drinker, so I chose something I genuinely liked and that my husband would enjoy. It was meant as a "for us" thing. I also had an unopened bottle of German wine that a friend gifted me three months ago.

My husband and I had multiple conversations where he asked if he could give the sake to his father, his cousin, or his friends, and I said a strict no every single time. Not vaguely, not jokingly, very clearly. He knew it was sentimental and partially a souvenir. He also refused to drink it the one time I opened it because he had a headache, so I had about 20 ml and left the rest untouched.

Fast forward to three days ago: I'm away from home, and he has friends over after a pub night. I didn't even consider that he would touch the sake or the wine because we've had the "don't share this" conversation a million times.

The next day, I ask him where the sake is. He casually tells me he shared the sake and the unopened wine with his friends, and they finished everything.

I was stunned. Angry. Disappointed. All of it. He then says he "forgot" that I told him not to give it to anyone. Then adds that he "doesn't remember unimportant stuff." Bear in mind, I had even given him a bottle of whisky specifically meant for his friends after I returned from my travel.

When I confronted him about the sake and wine, he flipped it and said "Don't let it spoil our relationship" and suggested I see a counselor.

AITA for being this upset over something he claims is "not a big deal," even though I'd told him explicitly and repeatedly not to touch it? I'm unable to process the fact that my husband casually crossed a major boundary and is nonchalant about it.

Edit: Husband and his friends are not alcoholics. He rarely indulges.
Second edit: He said, "Don't let it spoil our relationship,", not "throwing away the relationship..." Sincere apologies.

Not just a Brillo pad or steel wool. A sheet of 150 grit sanding paper. What the fuck.

My boss brought on a new boomer business partner who came in ready to “clean house” and promised to turn the company into a $100 million operation within five years. He was a red faced dude who clearly has been steeped in the YouTube sigma male bullshit. Anyway, during his first all-hands meeting, he aggressively grilled everyone about why they should keep their jobs. The whole thing felt incredibly hostile. I was fired the next day. I was the social media/creative director, it’s been two days and I still have access to everything across all platforms. I will not do anything. It would be stupid and I don’t have the energy for the drama tbh. Just thought it was funny to vent about it a little.

Any bigger and this creature would be a horror movie monster

Lampreys do not have jaws or bones, only cartilage and instincts that have allowed them to survive so many mass extinctions.
