Deidre Lynch@drbibliomane.bsky.social · yesterdayYou can/should read Emily Wilson's latest take on the Odyssey, but I'm logging on to convey my hairdresser's reaction. She was AGHAST that Nolan, with his million $ budget, gave Matt Damon ONLY 6 hair extensions. As a result, his hair did not blow around properly, & that ruined the film for her.
I get through my entire workday just fine without ChatGPT or Claude right now, the same way everybody did before 2022.

You can never just move on from this, even after he's gone. Without punishment and ostracism for everyone who has participated in his crime spree over the last 18 months you can forget it- we're all just treading water until the next tyrant
Carl Quintanilla@carlquintanilla.bsky.social · yesterday“.. Trump has leveraged his control of the federal government to instead escape the scrutiny that every other modern president, not to mention every other regular taxpayer, has been subject to.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/08/03/b...
to be clear, this is an unrepentant openly pro-hitler nazi saying that elon musk, the richest man alive, whose wealth could not exist without u.s. taxpayers, is, if not one of them, doing his best to promote their agenda. why this isn't treated as a huge natsec threat by dems is beyond me.
Sunder Katwala (sundersays)@sundersays.bsky.social · last wk.Elon Musk's politics are indistinguishable from Paul Golding of Britain First [except Britain First is more coded on violence, while Musk has been more openly pro-violence as inevitable, necessary, legitimate since Aug 2025] The main pro-Hitler YouTuber "Zoomer Historian" is encouraged.

WNBA (the org) courted this. They could have nipped this in the bud, but instead they placated anti-trans activists, so now bigots have glomed onto them. If you don't tell them their opinions are vile and are unwelcome, they will destroy you or leech on you forever. just ask amnesty international

The delusion that a HS boys basketball team could beat a WNBA team is shockingly pervasive. Years ago, a friend’s coworker claimed he could beat a newly-drafted Angel Reese because he played high school ball. “I can dunk, she can’t.” They asked him to prove he still could. He gave up after 3 tries.
except no, there is not a boy's high school team out there that can beat a WNBA team made up entirely of pro athletes who played college ball practicing against practice teams made up of men, and it's weird that you think there is.
Peter@notalawyer.bsky.social · 2d agoit's interesting how many men get satisfaction out of knowing that other men can beat elite female athletes. like ok, maybe the best high school boys team in the country can beat a WNBA team, but YOU can't
Elon Musk has that same brain disease that engineers sometimes get where they think technical expertise in one specific area makes them an expert at everything… except he was never actually an engineer and so his only expertise is at Having Money

The Indiana Fever have a traveling band of anti-trans agitators whose intention is to terrorize trans women & intimidate Black & queer women & WNBA goers. They do so in the name of a current player. The WNBA is protecting the agitators & punishing uprisers. I won’t watch a single Fever game.
