Are you dumb?

Biggest problem w the odyssey is that the movie doesn’t tell the viewer wtf Zeus’s law is supposed to be. Characters say it many times but by the end of the movie you still have no clue what it’s all about lol

genuinely what the hell were you doing when the movie was playing in front of you?

Why didn’t Antinous go with Odysseus and his men to fight in Troy??? His character was so cunning and cowardly…I don’t even know how to explain-but I love it.

Apparently, Emily Wilson was mixed on The Odyssey partly because it’s too modern. This is exactly the twist the culture war needed:

If you’d told me that Troy Jackson would be the D MESen nominee, I would have said “ah, makes a lot of sense!” and carried on my merry way, blissfully oblivious to the impending damage to my psyche it’d take to get there

Axios: Gas prices are rising again — and so is GOP grief in the midterms Krosnick, in a 2016 study looking at three decades of evidence, found that a 10-cent increase in gas prices caused a 0.6% drop in a president's approval ratings. He said the effect extends to the president in power's party. Link to article: axios.com/2026/07/19/gas…

Non-Argentine Latin Americans routinely root for any other team against Argentina. I took in the 2014 World Cup final in a packed Mexican bar in NYC and the entire bar was cheering for Germany. Anti-Argentina sentiment is neither novel nor primarily Anglo in provenance.

Jacobin@jacobin

Anglo-American commentary has lost its mind, blending “VAR-gentina” complaints with outrage over Milei’s cozy relationship with Trump and Netanyahu. Don’t buy the moralizing: Argentina is still worth rooting for. jacobin.com/2026/07/world-…

i find it so funny that people, myself included, still say "open the schools." perfect example of a phrase becoming anachronistic in real time.

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/

Democrats voted against funding ICE at all *and* rejected this type of “reform” last year. The only reason ICE has money is that Republicans funded it through reconciliation

The people telling us to watch the Odyssey are the same people who told us we were dumb for boycotting Bud Light… How did that go?

All I'm saying is, if this was a Democratic midterm with an unpopular president, with a five-term Democratic senator in a state the GOP candidate won by 7 points facing a state senator who carried a D+15 state senate district, no one would be calling this race a tossup.

Joe@electionsjoe

Troy Jackson is by far the strongest nominee possible. Susan Collins better prepare herself. Deploy the Troy.
