If Robert Eggers had made The Odyssey we would’ve 100% seen some cyclops dong.
Imagine being allowed to look at Lupita Nyong'o and complaining about it
Dr. in the Bronze Age maternity ward: “Congratulations! It’s twin girls!” “Oh shoot, we only had one name picked out. Let’s go with Clytemnestra and uh- Helen! Yeah, that’ll do. Clytemnestra and Helen.”
Oh man give me Agamemnon in that ridiculous armor. I’m all about it.
Carolyn Petit@carolynmichelle.bsky.social · 3w agoCongratulations, Homer. You've finally achieved pop culture relevance.
I worked really hard on this and it just sucks to see people I like and respect on here shitting on it. Everyone talks a big game about supporting artists but then they all pile on just to score a few points on the internet. Try creating your own stuff instead of making fun of someone else’s.
Gene Ha creator of 2026 IL Reads pick MAE The Definitive Edition@geneha.com · last mo.In the concept art this arch was supposed to be a perfect miniature of Trump's planned 250 ft (76m) tall arch. The rushed and limited planning time led to this Home Depot scrap plywood wrapped in vinyl debacle.
I got personal and fiery in my latest newsletter piece about Disclosure Day. I discuss why I loved the film, my own sensitive nature, having hope for humanity, the troubling misreadings of the film, and why cynicism is not wisdom. angelicabastien.substack.com/p/disclosure...
Open Your Fucking Heart: Why I Loved Disclosure Day, A Review and Rant in 17 Notes
Spielberg's Disclosure Day is a film of complex emotionality worth wrestling with. It led me to think about my own stubborn hopefulness and the problem with mistaking cynicism for wisdom.

Mamdani announces $15M for trans healthcare, includes launching a call/text resource support line. Notes city Law Dept filed an amicus brief against subpoenas for medical records. Hospitals suspended care to trans youth following a Trump EO. This seems to try working around that, doesn’t mention it
Short work week due to Monday holiday: Stressful Frantic “What day is it?” Short work week due to Friday holiday: Chill Relaxing “This rules” “Thursday is my Friday”
Dipping back into Fortnite and am compelled to post these clips here because my partner isn’t impressed /isn’t giving me the validation I crave.
Idk, AMC, maybe the endless error messages are hindering my attempts!
Still just getting errors. Seems this is a movie I am not meant to see in 70mm IMAX. AMC and I have beef now.
Ham@johnnydewdew.bsky.social · 2mo agoThree hours of attempts and multiple times waiting in line and Odyssey tickets still elude me. What’s the point of a virtual queue if you can’t actually book tickets when you’re at the front? Good thing AMC isn’t on here because I’d send their social media person home in tears right now.

The list of candidates for governor in the CA primary reads like that scene in the 200 episode of American Dad where Roger lists off all his personas.
Genuinely cannot remember the last time I boarded a plane and the seat had a functioning headrest or didn’t haphazardly partially recline as soon as I sat down.
How it feels to watch Sydney Sweeney in Euphoria:
Apple needs a feature where Face ID can determine how irritable/pissed off a person is based on their face and then lock specified apps if you’re too mad. I’m requesting this personally.
My family in red states loves to say how lucky I am to live in a blue state. Meanwhile my senator does shit like this and if I’m too critical liberals tell me to instead be mad at the republicans that don’t represent me.
Sen. Adam Schiff@schiff.senate.gov · 3mo agoAI is reshaping industries and our economy, and it’s crucial that young people and our workforce are equipped to succeed in this landscape. Proud to introduce a bipartisan bill with Sen. Rounds to ensure students and educators have the resources they need to harness the power of AI.
I’m afraid they have me hook, line, and sinker with the Black Flag remake.
Democrat messaging choices are wild. “Trump is a lying pedophile war criminal on death’s door who hates this country.” 👎🏻 “Trump used FOREIGN steel for his ballroom!!” 👍🏻
Elizabeth Warren@warren.senate.gov · 4mo agoDonald Trump is using foreign steel to build his gold-encrusted ballroom. It's a slap in the face to every American steelworker. "America First" was always just a slogan to Trump.
