Introduce yourself with 4 mechs.

Inspired by a Twitter thread, but I'm fired up, so I'm bringing it here. Author Kevin McCleod posted quite smartly that when kids can read to themselves, the act of reading aloud seems to just . . . stop. And I agree with him that that's a complete shame.

allow me to surf on odyssey hype to repost an old piece from 2013 Penelope, Queen of Ithaca - 30x40cm ink on claybord

Sometimes I think of how much genius, talent, & possibility we've been robbed of in this world bc wealthy white men refuse to not be absolute ghouls to everyone. The women who lost opportunities bc they wouldn't trade their bodies for them. The of color & queer folks stifled just because. It sucks.

Lena Headey looks back: ‘I told Harvey Weinstein where to go. A decade of possibilities disappeared’

Storytelling snippets I'm picking up while listening to the Odyssey score by Ludwig Göransson. ⚠️Spoilers⚠️ Track 1 Zeus's Law, includes the bard's opening lines (0:55) and the sound of him hitting his staff on the table. Give it a listen, does the rhythm remind you of anything? youtu.be/FKyf1ueDjl0

I wrote a thing! My take on Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey is up at @foreignpolicy.com foreignpolicy.com/2026/07/23/o...

It should have been $150,000 per title. It should have put Anthropic out of business and made me and other authors financially secure enough to keep writing and keep creating and keep fighting. We’re getting a token gesture. Anthropic won here. They pay a pittance (for them) and can do it again.

The Taco Bell finger pointing is a psyop to redirect attention from the real culprit, the deregulation and lack of oversight in our food supply

This summer, we kept the lights on all night, every night, at five soccer fields across New York City.

This was the scene at Calvert Vaux Park in Gravesend, Brooklyn Tuesday night.

CDC is no longer surveilling outbreaks caused by campylobacter, cyclospora, listeria, shigella, vibrio and Yersinia. What could go wrong?

Ian Weissman, DO@drianweissman.bsky.social · 11mo ago

The CDC quietly scaled back a surveillance program for foodborne illnesses. As of July 1, a critical surveillance program is monitoring for only two pathogens instead of the usual eight. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

My god. The Heritage Foundation, which mercilessly attacked transgender kids in order to protect the "integrity of women's sports," is now attacking the legal basis for women's sports. The transgender student decision is barely 2 weeks old.

Lemme explain what the words BELIEVE WOMEN should mean. They don't mean you have to believe women no matter what. They do mean that you have to treat women as a source the same way you'd treat a man.

I actually think it’s really important to say: This is not true! I’m proud that we’ve endorsed more than 4,000 campaigns in a decade & only rescinded endorsements a handful of times. But recruiting good ppl takes a different approach than playing mad libs w/ demos + personas to find someone.

I hope Mexico beats England today as revenge for Mexico week on the Great British Bake-off

I love how they expanded on the story in this game.

I know the point is that Mickey Mouse once said "opium", but I would like to draw attention to Walt Disney's signature and how the 'D' actually looks like a D.
