HELLO THIS SHOW WHICH I HAVE ALREADY NAMED MURDER BESTIES WAS CUSTOM DESIGNED IN A LAB TO BE MY FAVORITE SHOW I'VE EVER WATCHED www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-o_...

Escorting the nine-year-old to a friend’s birthday pool party, I told him I wasn’t going to swim in part because I’m dressed for work. He told me I could just jump in like Mamdani did. This is what socialism does to our children.

I try not to overdo this bit but ... my man is begging for it. Let's go.

The mummified daughters of pharaohs who lived thousands of years ago have bone changes that suggest they fought with bows and daggers

I'm going to include a "research process" section in my book acknowledgements. This will describe how I found my sources (all top peer reviewed journal articles/books), working together with a research assistant (I read everything! NO AI), took/collated notes, and then drafted chapters.

I got a spam trademark filing text from a "lawyer" who claims he can file to protect my business. I keep texting him with more queries and for more details. His English has become addled and desperate, with endless fake "proof" of the filing. I will continue to torture him. This is delicious.

Total woke cultural victory. We're bringing pronouns back. It is now illegal to be a white male. We're doing May Day parades just for HR ladies.

Furious that Chris Nolan would disregard historical accuracy in adapting The Odyssey by making a "movie" with "cameras" instead of memorizing the entire story and then going on a nationwide tour to sing it to us while tripping on ergotized barley

UGH the Hormuz mess+ tariffs means my sex dungeon restraint system from Japan has doubled in cost...and Gimps are now unionizing? Really beside myself right now.

I am once again begging Hollywood to stop using the Greek alphabet for an Ancient World movie, if they can't afford to even throw a couple of quid at anyone with an inkling of the language. Unless they really think audiences are dying to see THS THDPSSSSPS

Amazing that this man can perfectly execute both of the Great New York Expressions - Italian AND Jewish

I've been reading reviews of The Odyssey and each one notes that the pacing and plot is "uneven" and some encounters are "perfunctory" (like Scylla and Charybdis) and I'm rather entertained because what I'm hearing is not that you don't like the movie. I think my friends you don't like the MYTH.

Oh my god. It's here y'all

At least I am finally spelling diarrhea correctly

I’m finally going to listen to my doctor and eat more vegetables and get more fresh air

Wait folks are now mad about The Odyssey movie? A 2700yo fantastical tale about mythical creatures and magic and the Gods and translated/ debated/ taught in 100 different ways? Y'all sit down. It's a damn movie. Things can be enjoyed. It will put students in our classes. It seems great!

I've started a new project in *redacted*, working with kind people-keen students, and open minded colleagues. It's a dose of positive in a dark time, and I am so grateful. I cannot share anything yet, except that I am so proud of the students for taking risks and having fun.
