Deidre Lynch@drbibliomane.bsky.social · 21h agoYou 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.
Given I had been a software engineer prior to it, so I suspect I'd be just fine

You just know there will be a Premium no ad subscription model, followed by a lower tier skip ad feature subscription model. Such bullshit.

Verdict on The Odyssey, from my 10 yr old, it was a brilliant movie. He's massively in Greek Mythology. And honestly I didn't feel the time passing, it was great.
As tough as my cancer surviving Mother is, unfortunately a few weeks ago she got the devastating news she has Stage 4 Cancer this time. Hard to unpack the feelings. I'm lucky to have had her in my life this long. Upset for my Dad though, as they're 50 years married this week, and he'll be lost.

This lad will wilt, as he just craves sycophantic devotion. The federations now know they can collectively strongarm him, and they should have done it for some of the shenanigans that went on prior and during the most recent WC.

So people get that bringing private investors in to something that belongs to everyone, for a small cash injection - but to milk it dry long term for shareholders is stupid right? Right.. now kick them out of rail, water, energy, telecoms, healthcare etc.

There's nothing worse than watching a TV show where the lead is putting on an Irish accent that isn't in their repertoire, and even harder, it's a Norn Iron one. And the funniest thing, the actress was born in NI (but had emigrated when they were 3). Anyways, it's so bad I can't take it seriously.

I'm generally mouth agape reading the news most days, and can't really comment on it all, all day. I'm an opinion haver, but I never seem to know as much as others. I don't have a specialist topic that I reckon I know more about than your average opinion haver.
