It’s nice to see everyone’s textual analysis of The Odyssey It’s almost like the humanities give you entertainment, feelings, pleasure, and fun/interesting stuff to talk about, as well as lenses into both past and current society

I know bitching about MS Word is perrenial but the grammar-check has gotten worse, right? It's not just me? Because I just ran through a document in Word and its grammar suggestions were not just context-irrelevant but generally wrong.
Saw the Odyssey this afternoon. It was amazing! I’m gonna be chewing on it for a while, may have some thoughts to write up in a couple days.
Good hummus! I should stock up because I only seem to be able to find this brand once a decade.
