Between the Odyssey and a demented narcissist ruler becoming obsessed with a reflecting pool, Greek mythology is having a hell of a summer.

Martin Prince from the Simpsons preferring Asimov to Bradbury… tsk tsk. A rare miss.
Whoever it was in the course of human history that first thought to call pubic hairs "pubes"... thank you. A legend.
WIFE: (MFA from RISD) I thought a lot of her points were astute, even if her obvious bias for classics made a poor replacement for film criticism specifically, you know? ME: (just found out only yesterday that flies aren't food) I don't feel good. I can still feel some of them moving inside of me.
Has the Odyssey translator weighed in on the new Spider-Man movie yet?

I grew up at a time when our parents told us to come home when the streetlights came on. But my town was too small and poor for streetlights. So I never went home. I’ve been wandering since I was nine. I’m very tired. I need shoes.
Peak pandemic look. Forgot I ever looked this way. This is a man who will rob your convenience store.
I think maybe if America just keeps relentlessly making Spider-Man movies everything will eventually be okay.
Kinda weird when you think about how much salt there is everywhere. Where is all this salt coming from? You know what, nevermind, not my business.
Just saw a clip of Charlize Theron on subway takes. That shouldn’t happen. If you’re asking Charlize Theron to talk into a little lavalier mic clipped to a Metro card you will not see heaven.
Quite frankly there’s only one person I’d trust to analyze and critique Dr. Fauci’s methods: the sensational AI actress Tilly Norwood.
X Money sounds like an ill-conceived 90s X-Men character whose mutant power is rap.

I really liked the Odyssey, but "Our age of bronze is collapsing" = "Hey, you gotta finish up in there. 9/11 is happening."
Never really understood man’s need to conquer and control nature until just now, when it hit me I must travel to Seattle to capture Jimothy the raccoon and make him my pet.
This prompt had me scrolling images of Nicole Kidman in “To Die For” until the stranger next to me at the bar looked over and noticed. Goddammit.
Dawn@502eire.bsky.social · 2w agothere is a recurring prompt around what’s the best that anyone has ever looked on camera and I never have an answer but I’m watching right now and I think it’s gotta be George Clooney in Ocean’s 11
I always felt Moo Deng was off-putting and repulsively wet, but I love Jimothy. It’s called taste.

Before he was Scrooge, he was… well, Scrooge I guess. Sorry for wasting your time.

Wildest thing about LeBron going to Philly is he asked me to help him move? I mean, he said he'll buy pizza, but we're not even that close.
Still wondering what that Cyclops cheese tasted like.
Love how prequels have to be like "Before all the interesting stuff happened, there was... less interesting stuff."
If only The Christmas Carol already had flashbacks showing key moments in Scrooge's life, perhaps displayed by some kind of supernatural being like a ghost, this movie wouldn't be necessary.
