@ThemisCM @DrDavidMiano Because the rage of Achilles is profoundly pro-war😑

@DrDavidMiano Why did Nolan choose The Odyssey and not The Iliad? Do you think it carries a modern anti-war message? Nolan could have easily made a bloody, gory Iliad blockbuster if he wanted to.

There have been lots of reviews of the new Odyssey movie, and as an ancient historian, people are probably expecting me to weigh in. I saw the film yesterday afternoon with my brother and sister (on the regular screen, not IMAX). But first let me just say that if you are expecting me to assess the historical accuracy of the movie, you will be disappointed. When it comes to modern adaptations of ancient literature, historical accuracy is not very relevant. After all, the original is not historically accurate and reflects elements from different time periods, and indeed, while there may be a historical kernel of truth to Odysseus' voyage (though I doubt it), there is no evidence of it ever happening. No, it is far more appropriate for me simply to assess how well the film adheres to the original text. 1/

@bobby_halstead @DrDavidMiano Nobody—and I mean nobody—has read “Achilles in Vietnam” or “Odysseus in America”. How is that possible??

@DrDavidMiano In Homer’s Odyssey, was the protagonist racked with guilt and post traumatic stress?

@DiamondDog2165 @WIRED What a miserable fucking asshole you are. “Pro-trans”. How dare they. Cool with the surveillance though, right? Like there’s no Libertarian bullshit anywhere in YOUR timeline I’ll bet.

In my opinion it’s a pro-trans article masked as a technology piece, which I find frustrating. It’s the increasing overt political bias of the magazine that has put me off WIRED. I want to be informed not lectured at. But that’s just me, I have no problem with those that disagree.

Yesterday, WIRED learned that Madison Square Garden was suing us for our accurate reporting. We stand by our work. That’s why we’re removing the paywall from two of the MSG stories they don’t want you to read, making them free for everyone.

@OldTiger1979 @gdesilets581680 @bdomenech I’d like to see objective data on that. Also, I will bet everything I own that folks on this thread dismissing the need for peer interaction were the loudest about reopening the schools—and if you say otherwise, I would consider the possibility that you weren’t telling the truth.

@gdesilets581680 @bdomenech Same as 4 of my 5–they are so much more advanced than their public school peers!

In fairness my siblings and I were all homeschooled and all we did was get full rides to college, write speeches for presidents, become senior admin officials and decorated war heroes while on the other hand Jennifer Welch has a podcast.

@gdesilets581680 @thewittyempress @bdomenech It’s becoming obsolete because you and your Dominionist friends wouldn’t know how to build a healthy society if your lives depended on it—and you’re apparently in charge of the other 2/3 of us🤷🏻‍♂️

@Taylormusic67 @atrupar *you’re

It's what you dim bulbs lost when you openly corrupted the broadcast news media Walter Cronkite was always a leftist, but he made sure to tell the truth 80% of the time So when he put his left thumb on the scale, the American people would believe it You have to tell the truth, the majority of the time for propaganda to be effective Now no one listens to them or you because your not not believable

JD Vance: "I think Nixon's historical legacy is enjoying a bit of a renaissance, and deservedly so. I joked that if Watergate happened tomorrow, it would be like a 12 hours news story. The idea that it took down a presidency is crazy."

@WaldoTJ @marceelias The cognitive therapy you people need😑 When was the last time liberal democracy had any measure of success in the Federal court system?! Did I miss it???

@marceelias good. but some liberal activist in robes will rule that the USPS MUST do it. in 4 ... 3 ... 2 ...

🚨BREAKING: Postmaster General David Steiner told senators that, under a new proposed rule, the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) will not deliver mail ballots unless states hand over their voter lists to the Trump administration democracydocket.com/news-alerts/po…

@JustRegGoodMan @TreyYingst (raises hand) Why?

@TreyYingst This is exactly what I voted for.

President Trump spoke with the Iranians overnight warning them not to close the Strait. "You close it and you won't have a country," Trump said he told Iranian officials. "You won't even make it back to your fu*king country."

@factpostnews @zhaabowekwe When will this fucker just die

RFK Jr: Kids with autism will never hold a job. They'll never play baseball. They'll never write a poem. They'll never go out on a date.

@GeoffRuss3 @davidfrum You can’t be this stupid/insensitive.

They have erased Samuel de Champlain from Orillia, packing him up and chucking him into a storage facility to collect dust forever. In 1615, Champlain spent the winter nearby with the Hurons as part of his travels, making maps and establishing commercial relations. The hatred for this history, and for the people it means something to, is very potent. Those who traffic in it hold immense power. baytoday.ca/local-news/con…

@hi32991997 @kylegriffin1 So, like, history?

@kylegriffin1 Like that shit's going to happen, it must suck to be a liberal, waiting on a nut job judge to issue a ruling that helps your very fragile ego make another day.

Reuters: US JUDGE ORDERS TRUMP ADMINISTRATION TO REINSTALL SIGNS, EXHIBITS IT REMOVED FROM NATIONAL PARKS DISCUSSING TOPICS LIKE SLAVERY, CLIMATE CHANGE

@tannenbaumr @alderalmo Legit relieved you survived.

@alderalmo …plus one rebound.

The greatest comeback in NBA Finals history wasn't built on one rebound. It was built on a collective belief.

@GregBloomAllied @washingtonpost He suuuuuuuure is…

@washingtonpost He proves his health and acumen every day, give it up

President Trump had 22 medical specialists assess him as part of his latest checkup, according to a medical report recently released by the White House, who also declined to identify which physicians assessed him. wapo.st/4fxV0jE

@lh0ch I’m in the Bronx and I have some data…

Someone better have put a seismometer outside of MSG

@JoyceWhiteVance Were they closeted kapos as well?!

I read these words and I hear Bull Connor and George Wallace saying them.

@ryangrim @zhaabowekwe She’s a huckster with an enormous investment in the Dominionist agenda. Even a stopped clock is right etc etc. AOC characterizes her correctly.

MTG sacrificed her political career to stand against genocide, against Trump, against the Epstein Class, and to defend the survivors of Epstein’s trafficking. If that doesn’t earn credibility I don’t know what possibly could.

@FrannyRocket @ABC No

@ABC Stop giving out taxpayer money to specific races and other identifiers then, lmfao

Elon Musk’s DOGE “blatantly used” race, gender and other protected characteristics to execute the largest mass termination of federal grants in the history of the National Endowment for the Humanities, a federal judge ruled on Thursday. abcnews.link/kfJxWVn

@CynicalPublius @kylegriffin1 After you take your meds.

@kylegriffin1 Now do Hunter's White House cocaine stash.

BREAKING from The Atlantic: Kash Patel has given out bottles of a personalized whiskey to FBI staff as well as civilians he encounters in his duties, according to eight people, including current and former FBI and Department of Justice employees and others who are familiar with Patel's distribution of the bottles. theatlantic.com/politics/2026/…

@atrupar The cherry on top is that this is not actually how the test (MoCA) is administered…

Trump: "I took three cognitive tests. Aced all of them, by the way. I'm the only president to take a cognitive test. I don't think Obama could pass it. The first question is very easy -- it's a lion, a giraffe, a bear, and a shark. They say, 'Which one is the bear?'"

@chiproytx You people are sad, grim fucks.

A friend in a RED suburban county in Texas just told me their elementary school did a poll on languages spoken at home. English came in FOURTH PLACE behind Spanish, Farsi, and an other…. Pass the PAUSE Act. Now.
