I enjoyed The Odyssey (2026) but I have one historical nitpick. The phrase “Jiminy Christmas” is a minced oath for “Jesus Christ”. As the story is set around 1200 B.C. it is unlikely that Odysseus would have said the phrase even once, let alone the dozens of times he says it in the film
BREAKING: Mitch McConnell has descended into the In-Between and is meeting with Berath, God of Death. His soul will soon either be cast back onto the Wheel or he will agree to return to Eora as Herald of Berath after character creation and importing his choices from the first Trump administration
Horrifying, and any news outlet that fails to mention his obviously virulent racism whenever he comes up should have to close up shop imo

tired of the "#1 dad" nonsense. if you're a dad, stop treating it like a joke and post your actual national dad ranking. i'm # 492,018, which is actually really high up there, but more importantly it lets me enter ranked dad lobbies where i can get matched up for fistfights with dads of my caliber
an obscenity. we live in monstrous times
The New York Times@nytimes.com · 2mo agoElon Musk’s net worth of $1.1 trillion is five million times as large as that of the typical family. The median American household had a net worth of just under $200,000 in 2022, the year with the most recent data available from the Federal Reserve. nyti.ms/4aL8sNH
"a goofy movie": a humble title. why it's not even necessarily "the" goofy movie. we simply, respectfully offer you this story for your consideration "doug's 1st movie": the hubris of icarus. the unbridled audacity to imply that this is only the 1st chapter of the Doug Cinematic Universe. pathetic
Walking through a big NYC park on Eid today, with tons of celebrating families grilling, everybody happy, kids playing with their parents, I am struck by how obviously wholesome it is. It stuns me a bit to recall the many people in power today who would eagerly vilify these folks for power or profit
Note to democrats: “he has been robbing you blind, every single day” is a kitchen table issue
Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social · 3mo agoBREAKING: It's official. The Trump DOJ just confirmed the creation of a $1.776 billion slush fund that can be used to pay Trump allies who claim they've been wrongfully targeted by the Biden admin's ‘weaponization' — including, reportedly, Jan. 6 insurrectionists.
Next time reactionaries deploy an overt, half-century-long plan to fundamentally corrupt our judiciary we might wanna, I dunno, try to stop them
Can't fix racist maps because the election is only a year away, but you can stop an election after voting starts to make the maps more racist. Good thing racism is over. 🤬
it is important to emphasize that this was *the point*. this was *intentional*. elon musk is a vicious white supremacist who thinks poor african children ought to die, so that the world can be whiter
David Roberts@volts.wtf · 4mo agoStill feel like "Musk and his crew of incels destroyed a bunch of stuff they didn't understand and thereby hastened the deaths of millions of children" did not get the public attention it warranted.

most of my anger towards dems is they repeatedly invoke this trope and then do not govern, either in majority or minority, as if it was true. whereas i actually often do believe it and believe the responsibility to act like it’s true extends past the first week of november
No. This is somewhere to be. This is all you have, but it's still something. Streets and sodium lights. The sky, the world. You're still alive.

Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.gov · 5mo agoMy statement on President Trump’s strikes on Iran:
Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war.
