Thoughts on The Odyssey. (1) Discourse is good! (2) I’ve liked most of Nolan’s pics, and I liked this one. (3) I read Professor Wilson’s critique. It’s a solid piece of critical analysis. (4) I’m no scholar, just a movie fan. This interpretation worked for me - mostly.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: Weird Al is the only hero from my teenage years who has yet to let me down.

Injustice is as American as cherry pie But the outrageous 30-to-100-year sentences for the Prairieland 9 anti-ICE protesters mark a new low in punishing Americans for their ideas Progressives get virtual life sentences. Right-wingers get pardons. My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/prai...

Dr. Joseph Mercola was one of the first online vaccine misinformation spreaders. Absolutely loves RFK Jr. In 2010, he made a post about the “dangers” of the newborn vitamin K shot. It was constructed of lies. Apparently he’s now worried about getting sued, because he says he changed his mind.
