asked one of my coworkers how she's doing today and she goes "could be better, could be worse," and another coworker nearby who was eavesdropping chimes in with "could be a lil bit o' alligator curse!" i have no idea what he meant by that but i do know that it has been immediately added to the lexicon.

You know the FBI and CIA get thousands of tips a day and they look into all of them but like 99% of them turn out to be nothing.

Anyways the government choosing to release literally all files related to anything are gonna fuel conspiracy theories because the conspiracy theorists are gonna assume that those bullshit tips must mean something

So basically President 47 choosing to release files related to the 2020 election is almost certainly sending the conspiracy theorists into a spiral right now combing over all of those nothing burgers and was obviously extremely irresponsible of him but what else is new

You know this guy is also whining about how China had access to voter rolls

In a lot of states, literally everyone has access to voter roles? You’ve just gotta request it or pay for it? Like that’s not some kind of conspiracy. That’s just how the system works.

Ja. Dictators like when wannabe dictators win elections. Fancy that.

as a child i assumed that martha’s vineyard was a fancy private vineyard owned by martha stewart and the reason rich people vacationed there was because they were friends with martha

Nothing will ever be as funny to me as doctor who from the masters pov. Your best friend wanders into the woods and befriends a group of squirrels. He decides he will protect that specific tree with his life, even at the cost of your own species. You are the last two humans in the world. You once again try to burn down that fucking tree

Anyway here is my take:

I think trying to make a movie out of The Odyssey (not the story of Odysseus, but The Odyssey as in the poem) is a bit of a doomed endeavour as the structure of The Odyssey simply does not jive with the structure of the Hollywood movie

I think you COULD make a good movie out of the odyssey but would need to engage w the fact that it's a work which veers back and forth between fantasy and realism; that it's a story told out of chronogical order; and also that it is a Trickster Hero story first and foremost. It is perhaps best done as a comedy but with the occasional shocking swerve into graphic violence.

[penny-anna]

Here are my opinions:

The Odyssey should be a musical but ☝️only some of the time. When Odysseus is narrating? Musical. Penelope and Telemachus on Ithaca? 🙅‍♀️

Odysseus can break the fourth wall during the parts where he's narrating.

Movie opens with Odysseus inside Charybdis, whirling around and around clinging to a tiny raft and screaming. *Freeze frame* yeah, that's me. You're probably wondering how I got here.

[penny-anna]

In essence am I implying it should be tonally similar to the emperor's new groove but with ultra violence? Perhaps

RIP to a quiet hero.

A good reminder in these times that even when powerful men act with impunity to do evil, tossing out callous orders left and right, that at the end of the day those powerful men often depend on ordinary, low-level workers to push a button somewhere, to flip a switch, to pull a trigger… and that those ordinary individuals have the power to say “no.” You can refuse to push the button, and you might save countless lives in the process.
