GREG DAVIES: seems like a kind of a shit task. Everyone just seems like they're going home normally. ALEX HORNE: well before you say that let's have a look at how Odysseus did. cut to panel of AJAX, MENELAUS, AGAMEMNON, and DIOMEDES who are all staring at ODYSSEUS with his head in his hands

Probably hard for people to grasp, but Solomon was once one of the most prominent bylines in the country working for the AP. He was always a hack, though it was considered poor form to say so. Back in the earlier Bush years I learned that he was known as the softest touch …

Furious that Chris Nolan would disregard historical accuracy in adapting The Odyssey by making a "movie" with "cameras" instead of memorizing the entire story and then going on a nationwide tour to sing it to us while tripping on ergotized barley

Imagine being so stupid that you think the fact that it takes longer to count the votes in places where there are a lot of votes than it does to count the votes in places where there are *not* a lot of votes is somehow a conspiracy.

The real conservative objection to VA redistricting is pure Wilhoit: you have to obey laws & proper procedure & we don't. They can't just out and say that in public though, at least not yet, so they are desperately flailing about for some kind of cover argument.

I just saw this meme by @goldonbear.bsky.social and now you have to see it too bsky.app/profile/alex...
A meme containing, from left to right, the Intersex Inclusive Progress Pride Flag, a bald eagle with red laser eyes, Alysa Liu holding an American flag and wearing her Olympic gold medal with red laser eyes, a number of trading cards, Attack on Titan anime characters, a feminist fist symbol, and a rainbow flag. In the background is the women's singles skating event scoreboard and an electoral map of Barack Obama's 2008 landslie. The meme has the caption "YOU JUST LOST TO THE WOKE AGENDA"

I have been traveling and today I present to you...the thing I saw in the Frankfurt airport. Is it efficient? Undeniably. Does it probably work better than the normal way? Oh certainly. Produce less of a mess? Probably? But the existence of Condiment Udders gives me a deep, aghast disquiet.

@Grok replies: Anne Hathaway isn't Jewish; she was raised Catholic but left the church. She married Adam Shulman (who is Jewish) in 2012 and celebrates Jewish holidays with their kids. SHe's played Jewish roles, like in "Armageddon Time."

When the AI bubble pops people will try and do the “how could we have known?” And the answer is “if you thought about the economics of generative AI or actually talked to people using it.” Everything I report is public.

These people aren’t afraid Mamdani would be a bad mayor. We have a ridiculous, corrupt, incompetent mayor right now and the city is hanging in OK. They’re declaring all-out war because they’re afraid Mamdani (or Lander) might be a good mayor.

Now that we’ve seen the full Senate text, we can say for certain: either the House or the Senate version would be the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in a single law in history. Each have the largest Medicaid and largest SNAP cuts ever. And each give huge tax cuts to the rich.

I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.
