I predict that it will start off absolutely great, but run into some problems when they ahead of Homer, who’s been stuck on the second to last book for 2800 years …
David M. Perry@lollardfish.bsky.social · 7h ago" a full verbal recitation of the Odyssey would take somewhere between sixteen and eighteen hours (depending how fast one recites). " Ok HBO, it's time for a seven season unabridged staging of the Odyssey.
Not accidentally, this is also the language being used by the AI industry and its backers.
Sean T. Collins@seantcollins.com · 7h agoIt's remarkable how much of their language about any issue, any disagreement, finds its way back around to "you'll shut up and take it." Trump does this almost every day. Sex Crime Mindset
I’m reminded of the time ~8 years ago that a tree root grew into a sewer pipe under the brownstone where we lived. The apprentice was under 25 w/a young child. He may have been on a path to a lucrative trade job, but that day, he was the one who had to jump into what we were calling “the shit pit.”
mtsw@mtsw.bsky.social · yesterdayPeople frequently make this claim and the evidence is comparing like a Master Electrician to a typical college grad, but you don't become a Master Electrician straight out of trade school! The path to the "good" trade jobs in many markets are often highly constrained by cronyism and nepotism
Republicans love to push this, but so do the elites who get published in the NYT and Atlantic! They love to say ‘College isn’t for everyone,’ but you’d better believe they’re all sending their kids to college! They’re trying to make it easier for their kids to get admitted.
mtsw@mtsw.bsky.social · yesterdayRepublicans love pushing vocational-only education instead of comprehensive-education because they want a healthy supply of low-cost servants and less competition for the professional and boss jobs they want their own kids to have.

Adam Rawnsley@arawnsley.bsky.social · yesterdayToday, August 4, 2026, is the setting of Ray Bradbury’s short story “There Will Come Soft Rains” about a fully automated house continuing on after the family who lived there and the world around it died in a nuclear blast.
The Morton Salt Girl walks, serene and primal, not in the spaces we know, but between them…
Derek Faraci@whwoolhat.bsky.social · 2d agoBet you didn't know that the Little Morton Salt Girl is an immortal being who existed before there was life on Earth.
Among their many other issues, these guys are allergic to the vulnerability that comes with trying something new when you know you haven’t mastered it or even gotten good at it.
Gretchen Felker-Martin PRE ORDER CHIMERA 2.16.27 🍉@scumbelievable.bsky.social · 2d agobut that's just the nature of doing literally anything complicated, especially in concert with friends. the thrill of your party dragging you totally off-book is half the fun!
You need to be a very specific type of Educated Fool to take these kind of blithering dumdums seriously.
Ben Collins@bencollins.bsky.social · 2d ago"It's about protecting women's sports which, by the way, I hate more than anything in the world."
I mentioned Jeffrey Epstein earlier, but since he seems like a sick dumbfuck who kind of lucked into connecting with a billionaire pedo circle, but the more relevant comparison might be Larry Nassar, who used an ‘official’ medical credential to abuse hundreds of minors as part of an abusive network.
e.w. niedermeyer@niedermeyer.online · 2d agochopping it up with the transphobes before the Fire-Fever game on Friday really hammered this home: they want to endlessly "debate" abstract gender concepts because they have absolutely no way to implement any kind of sports-gender policy that doesn't require a whole lot of child genital inspection
It was a world-changing experience of sustained powerlessness and fear, and a lot of people want to minimize it and forget about it instead of reckoning with it.
Tressie McMillan Cottom@tressiemcphd.bsky.social · 2d agoI’ve been writing a counter narrative of shutdowns that has me revisiting media from that time. And let me tell you, the only other option was everybody die. So yeah.
In college I used to joke that I was majoring in scrimshaw because internet advertising (Craigslist and “information wants to be free”) were creating such a revenue problem for media. Ha ha, dark clouds! Then came social media, walled gardens, Google, private equity, pivots to video, AI…
ryan cooper@ryanlcooper.com · 2d agooh yeah the broader newspaper industry is turbo fucked. down ~80 percent since 1990
I’m deeply shocked at this move from the party of Jeffrey Epstein’s bestie.
Talia "Pre-Order CALL ME KIMBERLY" Bhatt ⚢@taliabhatt.itch.io · 2d agoThank you everyone for capitulating to the Reasonable Concerns of the Let's Examine Children's Genitals Party
This is true in all of the major professional women’s sports leagues, though. There are no trans women in professional tennis, or soccer… this freakout began when one swimmer tied for fifth in one college race, and one college volleyball player spiked maybe a little harder than average.
Jemele Hill@jemelehill.bsky.social · 3d agoThe WNBA has never had a trans woman play in the league’s 30-year history and now the right and other anti-trans activists are hammering the league over something that has never been an issue, proving once again it isn’t about protection but exhibiting cruelty toward trans people.
Of course this is why they’re trying to ban not only trans youth care, but even social transition for kids. Because trans kids generally know who they are and what they want. They deserve the opportunity to explore and express that in peace.
Doc Impossible@impossiblephd.bsky.social · 3d agoAnother study on youth transition that find that about 97% of all youth who says they're trans turn out to be. Only 1.1% who start HRT stopped it for any reason whatsoever. This is, like, the fifth youth transition study that I'm aware of, and all of their results have been identical.
(ulp) Hi, Ken! I've been a fan since 2005. I'm also a trans woman who is currently in the Jeopardy contestant pool. I appreciate you saying this and I believe you; still, mocking our problems with the NYT was uncool. And if I can quit Wordle—it took me way too long, but I did—anybody can.
Ken Jennings@kenjennings.bsky.social · 3d agoI saw yesterday that some right-wing outlets were running stories about me, which I’m used to. But this time I’m going to say something about it, because these were framed to imply that I was aligned with their own transphobia. ⬇️
I was going to say that in a few centuries, historians will try to make sense of the scope and evolution of The Simpsons by treating it as a vast body of legends with stock characters and a mythic credited author... Then I realized that's kind of what "Mr. Burns, a Post-Electric Play" does.
BeijingPalmer@beijingpalmer.bsky.social · 4d agoThe Simpsons is a show that started in the 1980s based on the creators own childhood in the 1950s that continues into the 2020s; fortunately future cultural historians will be able to refer to it simply as taking place in the 'late Washington dynasty'
Here are the two most cursed words I can put together: "Trump selfcest"
Darin Self@darinself.com · 4d agoIt probably should be a bit more difficult to diagnose someone with narcissism Literally posting an image of him doing a Narcissus
This is a great example of how, if you change a “but” to an “and” (changing an accusation of hypocrisy into an acknowledgement of power dynamics), you end up with a much better understanding of things.
Katelyn Burns@katelynburns.com · 4d agoNo because the Harper's letter was targeting trans people
Every dollar spent on social services is, in some sense, a theft from the weapons industry
This woman is SO ACTIVE in a local Facebook group and I have been desperate for someone to evaluate the things she says! Thank you so much for this @emorwee.bsky.social @alexhannaford.com
Emily Atkin@emorwee.bsky.social · 6d agoAlexandra Fasulo runs one of the most prolific anti-solar campaigns online, regularly telling over 2 million followers renewable energy is threatening farms and wildlife. But how much of her rhetoric is actually true? @alexhannaford.com spent months parsing through the nuance for HEATED:

The Associated Press@apnews.com · 7d agoThe townspeople of St. Mary’s can now breathe a sigh of relief. They are finally getting rid of the foul smell of rotten fish that has for years wafted over their tiny community in Canada’s easternmost province.
