Watching "Gladiator" with @amycolleen.bsky.social, and I feel like there's more fabric dye in just that one scene walking through the red drapery to the first amphitheater battle than in the whole entirety of "The Odyssey." And you know what? It still looks like Antiquity. Bring back color to films.

Blowing a whistle does not ruin a reputation. He already chose to ruin his reputation by doing evil in the first place. The rest is natural fallout. Tell the truth.

I just had a wild thought: what if "EdTV" and "The Truman Show" existed within the same universe? Maybe Ed changing his mind and wanting out of the show is what led the network execs to 'start from scratch' so to speak with a baby who doesn't know any different? 🤔

"EdTV" I had seen before, and honestly I think I'd prefer.

My understanding is that the Murphy adaptation was really a WWII film, just using the 1860s as a setting (which is understandable given when it was made). This new version, from what I saw during the day I was there, seemed an extremely close adaptation of the original novel.

Trump lied about sending us "DOGE checks," and lied about sending us tariff dividend checks, but hey, maybe THIS time he's telling the truth about "Republican midterm checks"? Voice-over Narrator: "Noone, in fact, would get ANY such checks." 🤷

I was never a true Yinzer, but traces of the accent do come out when I'm tired. "Ahr" instead of "hour," etc.

I have no problem with bicyclists who DO follow the rules. Today in a 15 minute span I watched one bike blow through a stop sign, and a second blow through a red light. Both glared at cars as if the cars were somehow the ones in the wrong. 🤦🤷

Sometimes packages get damaged, and sometimes it's NOT the carrier's fault. Today while picking up at the "customer shipping location" I watched someone kick their own boxes through the parking lot before carrying them into the store to be shipped. 😳

When my brother @kaijustew.bsky.social and I were kids we sang "The Song That Never Ends" from the TV show 'Lambchop' to annoy our mom in the car; well Mom just told me that my 5yo boy has started doing the same thing as well. Stew has thus called it "a generational curse." 🤣
