In Nolan's "The Odyssey," Matt Damon's Odysseus makes one macho blunder after another and keeps getting people killed. Oh, toxic masculinity is bad, the hero is a actually a dufus, I get it. But then at the end he suddenly goes beast mode and singlehandedly saves the day? What did we learn here?

Within a few years, any mechanically-inclined society living in AppleTV+'s Silo would engineer a stair-climbing machine. No way they just unanimously accept a 140-story climb. We see them jerry-rig elevators; those would be permanent, too.

Oh, NOW we're questioning the accuracy of English translations of ancient texts.

Amidst the collapse of education that AI is accelerating, architecture, at least the hands-on way it is taught at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, is mostly immune. The sheer creative demands (requiring proficiency in math and history) cannot be met by cheating. www.arch.rpi.edu

I’ve never seen “The Chi” so I’m not sure how it is pronounced, but logic dictates that it sounds like the first syllable of Chicago, right? The Shih?

Stix Golf Clubs ad from tonight's PTI on ESPN. Do you think AI was responsible, or just old-fashioned human incompetence?

No one wants to hear it, but when you burn your thrusters in space, you do not keep moving at the same speed. You accelerate like a motherfucker. Every movie/TV in space is less realistic than Asteroids.

Remember when Journey stayed up all night snorting coke with the money for their "Separate Ways" music video and the next morning made the cheapest looking video in history?

My favorite bar in NYC, Fresh Salt. The Seaport District is my adopted NYC neighborhood.

My brother restored this 1969 Ford Mustang and will be showing it this weekend at the Syracuse Nationals. No idea how he did this.

"Omen III: The Final Conflict (1983)" was my introduction to Sam Neill. I think it defined him as cool-presenting guy hiding big secrets. I can't think of a single time I didn't enjoy his presence in a movie.

"My doctors have confirmed that I didn't break any bones or suffer a concussion. I didn't have a heart attack or a stroke. I don't have any tumors or hemorrhages," McConnell said, adding that he is now "regaining my strength." Well, that explains why the paramedics did CPR.

Right off the bat, "Star Trek: Picard" S1 was stupid as fuck.

My band is down to three guys so I switched to acoustic guitar thinking we could go for a quieter sound, but this is what happens instead.

Seeing Egypt's World Cup fans in pharaoh gear, I realize I've always loved this look.

I'm watching the World Cup and I watched the NHL playoffs. But I'm never going to be a big fan of such low scoring sports. I would bail on the NFL in a heartbeat if half the games ended in a 0-0 tie.

I am pleased to hear that Mitch McConnell is on his death bed. I hope his death is slow and painful. Yes, I do.

That first "Supergirl" trailer looked like outtakes from a "Guardians of the Galaxy" TV special. Turns out the whole movie does. Bummer.

I'm gonna be that guy that gripes before the movie is even released... This is what we want to see in "Supergirl (2026)." Not a girl in a graphic tee and a trenchoat on leftover sets from GOTG. I'm a James Gunn fan, but this trailer made me not want to see the movie.

Remember during COVID when Regeneron skipped FDA approval to give Trump monoclonal antibodies? Now Eli Lilly has given special access to its unapproved weight loss drug retatrutide to one 79-year old man.

NBC News: Thanks to Trump's security demands, there will be no watch party outside MSG for Knicks fans in their biggest game in decades. Just days after Mamdani expressed his support for the gatherings.

What did Squirrel Batman say to Squirrel Joker? "You want to get nuts? Let's get nuts!"

Trying to rewatch "Ahsoka." How many episodes until Roxanne Dawson uncrosses her arms?

IMPERIAL TIE FIGHTER DESIGNER 1: Hey. I just had a crazy thought. IMPERIAL TIE FIGHTER DESIGNER 2: What? IMPERIAL TIE FIGHTER DESIGNER 1: What if the pilot could actually see?

New York Giants fans adopting a new nickname for Jaxson Dart - J6. It wasn't sticking during last season but now it's finally catching on.

Apparently I wasn't the only one to complain that the first "Supergirl" trailer barely features her in costume. The new TV ad goes hard the other way. She's still probably in that ragged trenchcoat way too much, though. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKl9...

If you like the theme from The Office, you'll enjoy the one hit from its composer Jay Ferguson, 1977's "Thunder Island." You can really hear the similarities in the piano. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ny8a...
