@TikTokPreacher @athenaeumbc @grok I just re-watched Troy and it was solid.

@athenaeumbc @grok what is the best movie ever made about this book?

A powerful scene in the Odyssey happens when Odysseus finally returns to Ithaca after twenty years of war and wandering. You would expect the story to end with celebration, with the hero coming home, the family reunited, and order restored. Homer does something far stranger. Odysseus arrives disguised as a beggar, because Athena warns him that the palace has been taken over by more than a hundred suitors who have been living there for years, eating his food, drinking his wine, and pressuring his wife Penelope to marry one of them. They believe Odysseus is dead and in their minds the kingdom is already theirs. So the king of Ithaca walks through his own halls dressed in rags while the men stealing his house sit comfortably at his tables. They mock him, throw scraps at him, and one of them even strikes him, and Odysseus takes it. That is the remarkable part, because the same man who blinded the Cyclops and survived twenty years of disasters now stands quietly while strangers insult him in his own home. Homer tells us his heart burns inside his chest and that he wants to attack them immediately, yet he restrains himself and waits. Instead of striking, Odysseus studies the room carefully. He counts the men, watches their habits, and quietly observes which servants remain loyal and which have betrayed him. The hero of the Odyssey does something most people cannot do, which is delay revenge until the moment is right. Eventually Penelope announces a contest and brings out Odysseus’ great bow, declaring that she will marry the man who can string it and shoot an arrow through twelve axe heads lined up in a row. One by one the suitors try and fail, because none of them can even bend the bow. Then the beggar asks for a turn. The suitors laugh at first, but the bow is eventually handed to him. Odysseus takes it in his hands and strings it effortlessly. Homer says the sound of the bowstring tightening rings through the hall like the note of a swallow. Then he places an arrow on the string and sends it cleanly through all twelve axe heads. In that moment the beggar disappears. Odysseus turns the bow toward the suitors and reveals who he is. What follows is one of the most brutal scenes in Greek literature. The doors are sealed and the suitors realize too late that they are trapped inside the hall. Odysseus, his son Telemachus, and two loyal servants begin killing them one by one. There is no escape, no mercy, and no negotiation. The men who spent years consuming another man’s house die inside it. It is a violent ending, but Homer wants you to understand something important. The real danger to Odysseus was never just the monsters and storms on the long journey home. It was the possibility that someone else might take his place while he was gone. When Odysseus finally returns, he reminds everyone in Ithaca of a simple truth: a man’s home is not truly his unless he is willing to fight for it.

@ElofsonJess Fake image. AI.

Every one has a plan right up until they get punched in the face. Wars never go as planned. Good luck to you all Long Live The Republic

@rronance Maybe there is so little actual creativity that they’re just actively ripping off others work. Yet this is praised as details?

As an ex-JP Morgan banker, no one believes when I say this…

@realDonaldTrump Is this an AI video? Watch his hands, specially his pinky, at 19 sec.

TO MY GREAT FELLOW AMERICANS…

@OfAthenry lol! We drive by and laugh about it. Sounds so disgusting. Flo’s Steamed Hotdogs! Who eats steamed hotdogs? Grilling them is the way to go!

LEGEND: After signing a 84 million dollar deal with the #Eagles o-lineman Landon Dickerson said that he hoped to use his pay raise to buy a LAWNMOWER. A couple days later Dickerson got his new lawnmower; and was fired up.

@chan_k It’s called refractions.

The latest project I’ve been working on is the design of Liquid Glass, alongside an army of designers and engineers. We're designing it to bend and shape light while feeling like an elastic, flexible material that can dynamically shape shift, to make apps feel fluid and organic.

@RizviAzaad Love Zach Snyders work. However, after the first kill shots I don’t understand why they would continue to rush up to him rather than fire at him from the cover of one of those vehicles. An easy shot.

Zack Snyder solidified himself as the best director in the world with this scene.

@nicksortor We need to get rid of these clowns.

🚨 JUST IN: Democrats on the Bucks County, PA Commission have voted to count misdated and uncounted ballots, DIRECTLY VIOLATING a PA Supreme decision They LITERALLY said “precedent by a court doesn't matter... People violate laws anytime they want.” SUE!

@AnimationOnMax Sad. This was the best animated show I’ve ever seen

'Scavengers Reign' co-creator Joe Bennett has confirmed on Instagram that Netflix will not be renewing the series for a second season. He posted a teaser produced at Green Street Pictures showing what was to come in season 2 if the show had been able to continue.

@elonmuskADO .

@MKBHD Embodied. No question. It’s a MoCap puppet. Since it was not stated, this deception leads people to believe it is an autonomous agent. That is misleading because the vision that these robots will live with us is very creepy if you imagine someone controlling them & watching you.

Playing charades with the Tesla Optimus robot last night. This is either the single greatest robotics and LLM demo the world has ever seen, or it's MOSTLY remote operated by a human. No in between.

@sama The number of hours spent playing Call of Duty exceeds the total number of years humans have existed on Earth. It's both a game and a movie- but better. Now supercharge that with hyperpersonalized AI. I'm in @sama

movies are going to become video games and video games are going to become something unimaginably better
