I know I should wait for the Odyssey in the historically accurate format Homer intended: as AI slop on my phone. But the Grand Lake theater will have to do.
Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't nirvana, soundgarden, pearl jam, or alice in chains. TBF there is a lot on this that sounds like nirvana+soundgarden+pearl jam+alice in chains

this is why you never saw Philip and Elizabeth Jennings from the Americans or any of The Agency characters eat at Olive Garden--sure their legends have fooled multiple governments, but Jenna your server is a much tougher proposition
Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 2w agoThe latest ridiculous coordinated Republican talking point on the SAVE Act is all about Olive Garden.
Was just catching up after another #sfgiants loss: those crowds in Madrid are going absolutely nuts over Mariners getting back to .500
Rooting for The Odyssey so we can get Odyssey 2: Suitors War, then two-part Odyssey: Endgame that sets up Aeneid franchise. In between, an Iliad series on Peacock, a standalone Cyclops origin (Jason Statham as "One Eye," obvs), dark rom com "Penelope" (Succession meets Love Island) . . .
England had sound strategy just needed 14 more center backs
If by "it" you mean "crushing sense of humiliation and regret," then it is very much coming home.
That McConnell proof of life picture is pretty baller way to reboot the Taken movies.
Giant will have to win this one the hard way: going into the 9th with a lead.
after epic World Cup matches I just may be too exhausted to see if Giants can split this series with the Rockies and maintain their small lead in race to avoid worst record in NL
There's going to be lots of mean gossip about Graham's personal life but emember he had a found family who loved him: bookers for Sunday morning news shows
One tragedy of the closet is that Graham doesn’t have anyone who loved him who can publicly pretend he’s still alive to preserve some ghoulish power
just for fun, somebody tell Trump that if he calls FIFA again, the US can get back in this thing
The Dune 3 trailer hits even harder if you read it as an allegory for all the carnage Timmy C was willing to do for the Marty Supreme Oscar campaign.
This match has been a snore but it's given me lots of time to wishcast my Hannibal reboot starring the Swiss coach
At least US still dominates Belgium in major sports like cyclocross
Remember it looked bleak after Game 3 when Trump fucked the Knicks. US still has two more chances to close Belgium out right?
Now that we're losers again, which US players will Trump have ICE take into custody after the final whistle?
Would be objectively hilarious for ref to show Balogun a red card in the first minute
Maybe Platner can regain control of the narrative by saying he really is a Nazi
Not that it helps Flo Balogun, but the fact that slow motion increases "perceived intent" in viewers has been established by psychologists studying its use in jury trials. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... It's in there somewhere with all the Peckinpah . . . cup.columbia.edu/book/downtim...

It was great talking to Pasquale Iannone for the Edinburgh Film Podcast a few weeks ago and now it's out! I won't take credit for Scottland's World Cup win but the timing is auspicious . . . podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e...
