@Dr_TheHistories @elonmusk I always thought it was weird the only poem about the war told only about 3 days from the war. Wonder if the Greek poem on the end of the war contained the Trojan Horse story.

The Iliad and Odyssey are the only nearly complete survivors of the Epic Cycle, an 8 part collection of ancient Greek epics that once told the full mythological story of the Trojan War. Homer’s poems cover only a small portion of this larger saga, with the Iliad focusing on a brief period near the end of the war and the Odyssey detailing Odysseus’ return home. The other lost epics, including the Cypria, Aethiopis, Little Iliad, Iliou Persis, Nostoi, and Telegony, expanded the narrative to include the origins of the war, Achilles’ later battles, the fall of Troy, the Greek heroes’ returns, and Odysseus’ final fate. Though these poems were once foundational to Greek literary culture, they were gradually lost as manuscript traditions declined, leaving behind only fragments, summaries, and references from later classical writers. #drthehistories

@Fansdepantallas The title in the U.S. is The Chair

3️⃣ La directora (2021) Diferente, breve y muy fácil de ver. Drama con toques de comedia en una universidad llena de tensiones. 👉 Capítulos cortos → ideal para una tarde.

🧵 6 miniseries de Netflix que te ventilas en un fin de semana (y casi nadie conoce) Si te cuesta encontrar algo corto que enganche de verdad, guarda este hilo. Hay joyas bastante escondidas 👇

@Fansdepantallas The title is actually Inside Man

2️⃣ Desde dentro (2022) Historias cruzadas con decisiones muy oscuras. Todo empieza con algo pequeño… y acaba en una espiral muy incómoda. 👉 Te deja pensando después de cada episodio.

@Fansdepantallas Not on Netflix but on some other services.

1️⃣ Un espía entre amigos (2022) Una traición real dentro del MI6 que parece ficción. Basada en hechos reales, con ritmo pausado pero tensión constante. 👉 Perfecta si te gusta el espionaje elegante tipo clásico.

@RealEmirHan Mulholland Drive. Social Network.

Name the most overrated movie of all time. I’ll start:

@BleedOilBlue Maybe, but that's sports.

If the Oilers didn't have all four center's hurt they beat the Ducks and Vegas right?

@InfamousTwigz Free agent market just isn’t the way of building more. Everybody signs or trades their players before they become free agents.

I’m begging the Anaheim Ducks to bring in a big name FA this offseason

@VinnysCorner1 Bob McAdoo

Without saying your age... Who was the best player on your favorite NBA team when you started watching Basketball? I’ll start…. Patrick Ewing

@MarkZinno Sounds smart to me. As you seem to think, the horse had no chance to win the Preakness, so why would you enter it in a race it can’t win, risking millions of dollars and a chance to win a race they could win?

Translation: We were a 23-1 long-shot to win the Derby and don’t think we would win the shorter track against a horse like Renegade again. So we will preserve our horse’s health — AHEM! “Value” — and get the max we can for future stud fees. Gutless horse owners have killed this sport. They prioritize money over wins and legacy. She’s not the first, nor the last do this. It’s just destroyed this once insanely popular sport.

@ZachCav Shoot the damn puck

Anaheim just had 6:18 consecutive time on the power play, including 1:42 total of 5-on-3... 5 total shots. Made themselves extremely easy to defend. Momentum for Vegas. 0-0, 10:31 P1. Game 2. #FlyTogether

@Felix_Sicard Disgraceful. Shoot the damn puck.

Ducks fail to generate any dangerous looks on the 5 on 3. Too many passed up opportunities. They then proceed to turn it over repeatedly on the remaining time in the double minor. Looked like the regular season power play.

@HansFiene While episode one was horrendous, episode two was pretty good, and episode three was very good. And the three prequels had the benefit of making the ending of The Return of the Jedi make some sense, and turn that movie from being horrible to somewhat less than horrible.

Except that their criticisms, vulgar as they often were, were entirely legitimate. The prequels, all of them, were HORRIBLE movies. Horribly acted, horribly written, horrible CGI, horribly un-Star-Warsy. The sequels, in particular the last 2, were HORRIBLE movies, albeit for different reasons. No vision, no heart, no purose. You can blame toxic fans all you want, and there are always going to be perpetually disgruntled dweebs whining about everything. But there would not be so many "toxic" fans and their "toxic" criticisms would not resonate with so many people if the prequels and sequels had been good. They weren't. At all. In the slightest bit.

@GlobeBobRyan @JasonCole62 I also definitely thought Bob would say Bill Walton and/or Bobby Orr.

@JasonCole62 Herb Score. May 7 will be the 69th anniversary of the horrible night when Gil McDougald’s first inning liner struck him in the face, thus short-circuiting what very well have been a Hall of Fame career.

Bo Jackson is No. 1, by far. But there are many others, like Gale Sayers, Terrell Davis, Sterling Sharpe, Bernard King, Tony Conigliaro, Mark Prior, Greg Cook, Joe Namath, Sam Bowie, Jay Williams, Shaun Livingston.

@JasonCole62 I’d put Bill Walton or Bobby Orr above all those.

@_iamlougotti Bill Walton or Bobby Orr

Name an athlete you would love to see with an injury free career I’ll start with Andrew Luck

@ClayTravis Totally wrong on a 24-team playoff. Should be 16.

College football coaches have come out in favor of ending conference title games, starting the playoff earlier so we finish the season by the second Monday in January, and support an expanded playoff, likely 24 teams. Honestly, I think they are on the right track here.

@cassianelwes @netflix @Cary_Elwes I saw once at the Academy with Rob Reiner commenting!

Saw The Princess Bride again last night at the @netflix is a joke screening hosted by my brother @Cary_Elwes. Firstly I hadn’t seen it for at least 10 years and it really holds up. And secondly if you get a chance to see my brother talking about it live , run to it. Cary was absolutely hilarious and his stories are gold.

@wyshynski Ducks fan here — blown call, but you can’t let up when the call is made, have to play through.

Just realized I didn't add my two cents here. The Ducks got absolutely jobbed, on the one time a linesman decided to make a judgment call on a race for the puck on an icing (in the third period, of a tied playoff game no less).

@PatrickCPresent No reason he should apologize, but I think it shows he knows that the Ducks outplayed Vegas.

@Dodgersandrewjf No, if the Astros hadn’t been cheating, the Yankees would have made the World Series and they would’ve beaten the Dodgers. So the Dodgers were cheated out of nothing.

The Dodgers can win 5 World Series titles in a row and i still won’t get over the 2017 World Series being stolen from The Dodgers. Only Astros fans think it’s legitimate. Lives were changed because of it. If you’re a Dodgers fan and have gotten over it, congrats!
