I have a master's degree in Ancient Greek and Roman Studies, I've studied the 'Odyssey' in Ancient Greek, and I've been writing about the ancient world for over a decade. This is my exhaustive review of Christopher Nolan's 'The Odyssey'. #Odyssey #classics talesoftimesforgotten.com/2026/07/23/a...

An Ancient Historian's Breakdown of Christopher Nolan's 'The Odyssey' - Tales of Times Forgotten

Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey is perhaps the most highly anticipated new film of the 2020s. It has already received near-universal acclaim from film critics and earned more at the box office in its ...

My answer is LOL ROFL (dickbrain) The terminally AI-pilled can't even *imagine* some people have *never* asked stochastic parrots to cheat at their job for them.

That is the primary distinction between the Dot Com bubble and the AI bubble. They over built Telcom infrastructure but the quantity of information needing to be sent from one place to another scales with population size as an inevitability.

Thank you, Michigan. I love you from the bottom of my heart!

This is one of the many problems that arise when your president is a rapist.

Max Miller says he refuses to drop out of the race despite multiple horrific abuse allegations because Trump got away with abuse allegations too

"Gita Gopinath, a former chief economist at the International Monetary Fund, writing in The Economist, estimated that an A.I. crash would wipe out $20 trillion in American wealth — far more than the dot-com crash in 2000 or even the 2008 financial crisis." www.nytimes.com/2026/07/31/m...

Depicting Jewish people with horns is a centuries-old, dehumanizing, antisemitic trope. Democratic Gov nominee Phil Weiser is outspoken about his mother’s birth in a Nazi concentration camp, his family members killed in the Holocaust, and the threat posed by antisemitism today.

* Tariff Refunds Have Wiped Out Tariff Revenue Since May @taxfoundation.bsky.social @scottlincicome.bsky.social taxfoundation.org/blog/tariff-...

Bluesky oldheads will remember that brief period of time when the conservative trolls tried to storm the place and were flummoxed by the idea they would have to organically grow an audience and that someone who didn't want to talk to them could nuke every interaction they ever had from orbit

It was Todd Blanche's idea to create a $2 billion taxpayer slush fund for insurrectionists who assaulted police officers. 

If Senate Republicans confirm him, he won't be America's top lawyer—he'll be Trump's.

43-time Club Champion.

If you list all the crimes Trump has been credibly accused of, even just the ones he's confessed to, it genuinely reads worse than a mafia don. No wonder we feel like we're losing our minds when the media treats him with presidential deference.

Cornyn's & Tillis's caves on Blanche's confirmation are just further evidence that there are no good elected Republicans—zero, zed, null set—none who can be trusted to uphold the rule of law rather than slavishly submit to Trump.

They have the ultimate power, the lame duck power, they could choose to do whatever tf they want to do. And they chose this. So no, Trumpism alone is not the issue. Entire Republican party is rotten to the core.

The new CEO of Bluesky wants to change Bluesky from being a leftist bubble. The thing is, there’s nothing wrong with being a leftist bubble: the idea that everything has to be all-encompassing and suitable for everyone is a trap. 🧵 1/4

Incredible that team Collins keeps responding to criticism of her Kavanaugh vote by saying she did such a good job vetting him. Reporters literally had his Bush-era emails saying of Roe that the Supreme Court "can always overrule its precedent, and three current Justices on the Court would do so"

She Voted for a Justice Who Overturned Roe. Now it Haunts Her on the Trail.

Senator Susan Collins, who supports abortion rights, endorsed Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination for the Supreme Court. It has emerged as a major issue in her campaign for re-election.

“Mullin let slip a very dirty secret indeed: By reforming governing processes, we can broaden legal pathways for immigrants to work in the US in ways that would benefit our economy and our country.” MAGA was furious. Yet more evidence that the purpose of “mass deportations” is ethnic cleansing.

Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social · yesterday

Don't miss this vile story: MAGA is raging at DHS chief Markwayne Mullin for admitting migrant farmworkers can beneft our economy. This means his devotion to ethnic cleansing is in doubt. He must be excommunicated! I wrote about the collapse of MAGA mythology here: newrepublic.com/article/2138...

But maybe most impactfully they're wandering our neighborhoods, mingling fully armed into family and school events, attempting to normalize the fascist occupation of our Nations' capital to residents, and tourists and visitors from all across the globe.

At this point, Thom Tillis has nothing left to lose but his principles, so he made sure to toss them overboard too.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterday

Tillis admits Trump is weaponizing the DOJ during his speech announcing he'll vote for Todd Blanche: "Maybe it's a little bit more intense in this administration than the last one ... I'm going to support Mr Blanche's nomination"

The second Trump era has, if nothing else, been a good illustration of the idea that the people at the top echelons of society, in finance, law, higher education, politics, etc., are often the most credulous fools you can imagine.
