Diane Kruger as Helen of Troy: she has the Hellenic profile, ample forehead, straight nose, square-ish jaw. Nothing to do with blondness. I'm perfectly capable of accepting Lupita Nyong'o in the same role. But Page as Achilles? My imagination fails me. We'll see…

@RnT45t1 What makes it unfair? Unfair would be to disadvantage my own kids because others may complain. Let them complain.

@JimPethokoukis Not retired, and I would love grandkids, except my own children are uninterested. I try to motivate them but so far that isn't working. I could produce more, but I would need a new and willing partner. Easier said than done.

Good reason to have grandkids. You can visit them, they can visit you, and when you're not with them, you can talk about them.

The WSJ just ran the most depressing headline in human history. The piece is a first-person column from two retirees. They say that without bosses, deadlines, or meetings, there's nothing to interrupt zombie doomscrolling. "We retirees have a particular vulnerability," writes one of the co-authors, Stephen Kreider Yoder, a retired WSJ editor. "We have time on our hands and no external authority telling us to snap out of it." "Let's have a show of hands: "How many retirees have ended a day looking up from the phone, wondering where the time went and feeling the mental equivalent of having finished off a family-size bag of potato chips?" "Yeah," he writes. "That's what I thought." We spend decades trying to buy back our time ... and then spend it staring at our screens.

It is not vanity to think the song is about you when the song is in fact about you.

Just here hoping for T to Again Chicken Out today, or at least the sane minds left in the Armed Forces to refuse to carry out insane orders. If I may quote Michael Jackson: "Heal the World, make it a better place, for you and for me and the entire human race".

@drpezeshkian You don't say what your jurist Finish counterpart answered. But how can a threat be a war crime. If they in fact do send you back to the stone age, then you'll have a claim, but you don't want to get to that point, do you?

Does threatening to send an entire nation back to the Stone Age mean anything other than a massive war crime? This was the question I asked my Finnish counterpart, who is a jurist. History is full of those who paid a heavy price for their silence in the face of criminals.

@BowTiedPassport True. We also fall all over ourselves at any hint of decent quality and name something we do "Calidad Mundial" (world class), imagine naming a Big Mac world class because it's sold all over the world. At the same time we are the fiercest when criticizing our own country.

I believe it’s a sign of insecurity to seek validation from outsiders; the "Mexican Card" is often handed out for the most surface level participation. When Mexicans see a foreigner enjoy something slightly Mexican, it validates them. You never see White people say, "You listen to Bruce Springsteen? You’re officially White”

Call me paranoid, but I was so worried an act of war could occur right up until launch of Artemis. So far 3 min in and looking good.

@davepl1968 I did not watch it live, but do remember the moment I found out. I was at my school's cafeteria, mid-morning, sunny and breezy day. Then went home and watched TV and spent the day in shock.

99.9% of people who "experienced" the Challenger disaster saw it on replay and now remember it as live. Almost NO ONE was watching. Everyone thinks they were. It's a fascinating collective false memory.
Jeremy London@SirJeremyLondon

Anyone who experienced the Space Shuttle Challenger explosion, like I did, is probably a bit hesitant to get too excited about the Artemis II launch today. I truly hope our children don’t have to experience such tragedy. May the Universe welcome them and return them safely home 🙏

@CepnikMaciej This must have been a survey in an affluent neighborhood in CDMX. If they had ventured a little bit north, there's no way that Carne Asada would not show up at all on that pie chart on the left

This study from Forbes México seems like it’s fake… I’ve never met a single Mexican that eats vegetarian tacos, let alone 8% of them.
Forbes México@Forbes_Mexico

🇲🇽🌮 De acuerdo con una encuesta realizada en el marco del Día Mundial del Taco, el 40% de los mexicanos los elige por su accesibilidad —“están en todos lados”—, por encima del precio, la variedad o incluso su valor nutricional. Esta preferencia se sostiene en una red de más de 139 mil taquerías en el país, que asegura su presencia constante en prácticamente cualquier entorno urbano. Además, el 36% prefiere consumirlos en reuniones con familia o amigos, lo que refuerza su papel social. Para Pablo Levy, director de Research Land, el taco destaca no solo por su sabor, sino por su disponibilidad y su integración en la vida cotidiana. 🔗 Más en el link de la BIO

@L0V3L3ZZX Cada semana el Futbol llena estadios con 30, 40, 60 mil gentes pagando boletos caros y cadenas de televisión pagando exhorbitantes sumas por los derechos de transmisión. La relación médico a pacientes es mucho menos numerosa en comparación

I will underscore a positive I appreciate about Mexico's food: It's not pretentious at all, it really is the people's food, and people bond over it across social and economic classes.

👀 It doesn't matter to me whether food from my country is "Top" or "Best". I am glad I get to enjoy it regularly, that it has good representation where I live, along with several other cuisines I enjoy. The world is better with the greater variety.
