oudemia @oudemia.bsky.social · 04/10/2026One of the few games I was always happy to play with everyone, because here too the other games are all about Balkan grain output. 010
oudemia @oudemia.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Just today I started seeing a bunch of comments along the lines of "OMG imagine caring about $6 gas, that's just poor financial management." I guess the memo went out. 020

oudemia @oudemia.bsky.social · 02/09/2026A friend was a Daily Show writer at the time and she told me that they all sat with that issue thinking, “This should have been us.” (They weren’t allowed to go anywhere near it.) 0310
oudemia @oudemia.bsky.social · 01/09/2026We have a shared bank account with like $5 in it for these sorts of reasons. (Can you open one real fast on line?) 090
oudemia @oudemia.bsky.social · 26/08/2026Everyone admits! This is everyone's if-I-had-a-time-machine show! 130
oudemia @oudemia.bsky.social · 17/08/2026I just read this and spit out my sassafras candy (purchased from a roadside stand in Warren Co.). 020
oudemia @oudemia.bsky.social · 14/08/2026Slightly citrus-y bubble gum to me. (My kid loved it. I love the ads?) 000
oudemia @oudemia.bsky.social · 13/08/2026I found the book Panic-Free Pregnancy deeply soothing for these reasons. 010
oudemia @oudemia.bsky.social · 08/08/2026I mean, it was a mass $$ solicitation! Don't sound like a stalker, Mr Candidate! 010
oudemia @oudemia.bsky.social · 07/08/2026I blocked some Dem politician because he sent a text saying, “oudemia — are you blocking my calls????” Jump scare. 070
oudemia @oudemia.bsky.social · 07/08/2026A thousand years ago, on the Ben Stiller Show, Janeane Garafalo had a bit called "B- Time Traveler." 010
oudemia @oudemia.bsky.social · 05/08/2026Oh I will be so mad if that goes the grim direction. Also, you need to move your primary, my god. 110
Reposted by oudemiaBen Collins @bencollins.bsky.social · 02/08/2026Also once people see how good at speaking el-Sayed is, it's just not going to be the same story. It will become one of those things where everybody attacking Zohran for being normal comes off as a psychopath. IRL he comes across as a handsome doctor guy and Rogers emanates DUI. 720712
oudemia @oudemia.bsky.social · 01/08/2026One of my favorite books, with, of course, one of the best opening lines, ever. 010
oudemia @oudemia.bsky.social · 31/07/2026Oh I was thinking, "Jesus died for somebody's sins but not mine." 2221
oudemia @oudemia.bsky.social · 30/07/2026I imagine these are very different sounds. Wolfe: An almost elegant single syllable, not quite fwee, but something like that. Goodwin: a big ole American FOO-EY! 120
oudemia @oudemia.bsky.social · 28/07/2026No other breed surpasses the Bernese Mountain Dog in elegance, gravitas, and dignity of bearing. 160
oudemia @oudemia.bsky.social · 28/07/2026My feelings about the movie are very much informed by Euripides’ Trojan plays where he goes long on But what if: everyone felt guilty/war sucks/the Greeks suck/the Trojans are just better/in fact we can say the Trojans won and the Greeks lost because of how bad everything is. Read the Trojan Women! 041
oudemia @oudemia.bsky.social · 28/07/2026I laughed out loud in the movie theater, described it immediately to friends as "the one unmitigated howler" of the movie, and have been walking around saying, "Our Bronze Age is ending!" for the 5 days since I saw it. 140
oudemia @oudemia.bsky.social · 27/07/2026It’s me! Obviously I had a million quibbles and million choices I would have made differently — so what?! It was great fun to see Nolan’s choices. We have been receiving and reinterpreting this text for 3k years! The actual text itself is the site of vying lineages and versions of the stories . . . 180
oudemia @oudemia.bsky.social · 27/07/2026Herodotos calls the Ethiopians “the most beautiful people in the world.” 0172
oudemia @oudemia.bsky.social · 24/07/2026I bet it's easier to frisbee-throw a naan than it is to javelin-throw a baguette. 060
oudemia @oudemia.bsky.social · 24/07/2026"Not saying he's right or wrong, but Europe would be safer if every country murdered dozens of children at summer camp." 1140
oudemia @oudemia.bsky.social · 19/07/2026Mr Rudall staged an Agamemnon where the sacrifice of Iphigenaia was performed on stage as a dumb show and when they slit her throat a bolt of red silk rolls out and becomes the carpet for the carpet scene. Truly great. 030
