Maybe I made a mistake saying yes to church on the same day as an 11a screening of The Odyssey.
I fulfilled my promise to James that I would *one day* watch Heated Rivalry with him. He's already seen the entire series 5 or 6 times. After the first episode, I gotta be honest: not bad! As the credits rolled, he said that he was shocked. He thought I would have bailed after half an hour.
If I’m not reading a book or magazine at bedtime, I’ll open a random Wikipedia page and then allow myself three jumps. Last night: The Nile River, then Khartoum, Memphis, and Alexandria.
I learned this afternoon that our subscription to Chicago Magazine @chicagomagazine.bsky.social included access to the Tribune's website. We've had the magazine subscription since 2022.
"I am writing to confirm that the Board voted 3-0 to deny Sean Grayson's medical release application," an Illinois Prisoner Review Board spokesperson said in a statement to ABC News. "He will remain in custody." Fucking good.
Governor JB Pritzker@govpritzker.illinois.gov · 5d agoSonya Massey’s family and loved ones remain in my thoughts today. Her killing was a profound loss that can never be reversed — Sonya was innocent, unarmed, and calling for help. A painful reminder that too many Black Americans have faced this violence, and they deserve justice.
Someone ordered $40 worth of food at the coffee shop but didn’t leave a tip. What a monster.
“No one rates Honest Bob higher than Honest Bob. He believes himself to be a winner. Someone who connects with the ordinary people. Which, to be fair, he does. Because Honest Bob has the unique ability to get people to dislike him on sight. It saves time that way.” Jesus Christ! Hahahaha.
Even GB News cringes as Reform turns dementia patients into a political football
Honest Bob was rattled at the idea of joining cross-party talks on social care. Why bother behaving as a serious opposition?

I'm embarrassed at how long it took me to realize that "the sewer of the WORD" wasn't a typographical error in a Catholic nun's biography.
We were going to take Taco and Queso to the dog park yesterday. Instead, we took them to Michigan.
What the fuck has happened to Boy George? Also: “Last month, Boy George launched a new company called Artist Included, which will use AI to allow artists to create new versions of earlier songs which resemble the originals, as a way of wresting back control of master recordings.” WTF?

A Penn professor thought she’d sell 1000 copies of her ‘Odyssey’ translation. She sold more than a million this year alone, thanks to Christopher Nolan.
West Philly's Emily Wilson, who penned a highly acclaimed translation of the epic poem in 2017, is having a big summer.

Queso has two unrelated skills: 1) spitting out medication and 2) stepping on people’s genitals. He showed off both of them within the last five minutes.
As a reader, I feel privileged and respected when the writer produces such a work that both subject and author are honored. @chanda.blacksky.app's memorial of Vera Rubin felt like a gift dropped out of a clear summer sky.
