Last year I went to a wedding and told one of my friends who used to work in publishing that I was releasing a book. He told me that publishing was hard, and said "who cares if you only sell thirty copies?" I have sold twenty-seven copies. Can I get three more sales? www.amazon.com/Dream-Where-...

I mean the movie changes a lot of the details, such as the fact that Agamemnon, Achilles, Menaleus, and Odysseus wrote the Trojan Horse Rap in Iliad, not Odyssey.

They traversed the wine-dark sea under the wine-light sky and the mead-gold sun. Okay look man, there's not a lot to do around here, TV hasn't been invented yet, i drink a lot of wine, cut me some slack, it's a really fun drink to compare stuff to

Hey barkeep, get me a martini, and shake it up a bit, would ya

HELEN OF TROY MUST BE PLAYED BY THE SEXY GREEN M & M

Yes, and: they should have her present femme but have everyone refer to her with masculine titles and pronouns like Tilda Swinton in Snowpiercer.

This is the take of person who lives without a sense of joy or wonder. "The best beverage is water." "The best cereal is cheerios (no honey nut)." "The best TV show is the news." Come on now, live with a little bit of flavor

It's never joever

Lot of young faces in this graphic. I'm about as liberal as it gets, but even I can admit that we're facing some pretty uncertain times. I can't be the only one who thinks that we need experience in the White House to steer the ship. That's why I'm announcing my support for Joe Biden in 2028.

The serious question is "what cultural retreat of progressivism?" We''ve got mass movements in the streets, people fighting ICE wherever they go, constant loss of public support for the regime, more pro-Palestinean support than ever, etc balanced against Matt Yglesias being kind of a chud now.

MARTY SUPREME (2025):

Weird crosstabs. Men more dem than women? GOP at 30 with black people? College and non-college identical? This doesn't add up imo

After all these years, i do think they couldve gotten away with just having the rat be named ratatouille

There’s a bunch of “real“ stuff in the Iliad and Odyssey, but it’s overall the equivalent of learning about WWII from the first Captain America movie

This is awful

Hmmm, what about Gotye's Somebody That I Used to Know of Little Talks by Of Monsters and Men.

Another double feature today. Forst off: DEEP WATER. A truly garbo movie. Problems begin with its title. I shit you not, it is a major plot point that the water is shallow.

I have completed all of the parts of this puzzle that are possible.

flippant responses :)

The thesis of AMADEUS is quite literally "the virgin Salieri vs the chad Mozart."

New Star Fox is so weird. Like it's clearly a very expensive, very large project, but like...couldn't they have done all that work on a new fuckin game and not a remake?

Teachers are elites if you’re 12, in spirit with our age

Very true! Every time he shows up in Iliad, it goes "Odysseus, who's a sneaky bastard"...

I'm always so curious when people complain about inappropriate theater behavior. I have literally never seen any of what people are talking about, and I go to the theater frequently. Saw Hokum two days ago with a packed crowd and if anything I wish there had been more engagement.

Listening to "Anyway" by Anamanaguchi and this is like, just a pretty bad rock album? Hardly a chiptune to be found, and it sucks!

May the 4th be with you. Here's one of my favorite Star Wars memes:

THE WOODS by @hazelebaumgartner.bsky.social: my least favorite part of this book is on the back cover, in the About the Author: "Hazel E. Baumgartner is an aspiring horror author." Aspiring? Am I reading your book, which I bought with US dollars, or not? Have some confidence lol

This could be business casual if we even gave a shit

Somebody please make a clip of the scene from this documentary where Coppola is yelling "JUST GIVE ME WHAT I WANT!" and then it pans over to Shia Labeouf in full drag saying "I don't know what you want."

HOKUM (2026): certainly seen worse horror this year. Spoilers in subsequent posts

If you go with people to brunch at 11 or even noon, you should not be ordering a cheeseburger or a Cobb salad. You are messing with the vibe. We are eating pancakes!

Forgot that Dan Olson used to have a puppet gimmick. It's oddly embarrassing that we used to make video essayists do that.

I dont get it, theyre dogs, they should love the squirrel books?

Some conversations with people makes me think Platner's antisemitism is a feature, not a bug, including on the left, which fuckin sucks

I think there is a way of thinking about multiculturalism even among its proponents that basically regards it as the modern invention of a mature liberalism. I think, on the other hand, multiculturalism is the default state of all societies and that its absence is the artificial creation instead
