Would it be really cool to have an exhaustively Myceanean version of the Odyssey with Greek actors and extreme historical fidelity? Yes! (But not with any Ai/Tech bro wannabe batman villian assiatance)

Was Christopher Nolan's version somehow "woke" or "bad" or "disrespectful" or whatever else?

No, you fucking dork! It was incredible!

Hey folks,

I did a reading of one of my favorite poems and I think it may reach a good audience here. Sometimes we have to search far and wide for really good art from an atheistic perspective and this poem is a wonderful example of that.

This is The Prophecy of St. Oran by Mathilde Blind. She was an 19th century atheist and an early feminist. This poem greatly expands the famous story of St. Oran (also called St. Otteran) who was supposedly buried beneath a church and rose from the dead to declare that the afterlife was much different than his Christian brothers thought.

It's a beautiful story about the limits of faith, the blindness of a colonizing force, and the nature of love and humanity itself. I think I do an okay job reading it, it took a long time and many takes to get each section just right. Please give it a listen and enjoy!

My dad graduated in 1973 and for years told me about how Goncharov was such a formative film for him. He was a bit of a nomad and traveled a lot after high school and I think Goncharov really resonated with him for that reason. I resisted watching it for years but what with the renewed interest I decided to give it a watch. It was like looking at a photograph of my dad at a younger age. It struck me just how uniquely and profoundly human it is that we find ourselves in literature. Goncharov was that for my dad in the way that I suppose Henry Looks Away or Golden Gate Ghetto were for me. It made me look forward to Thanksgiving for the first time in my adult life. I can't wait to finally talk about it with my dad. It will be a way for me to say "I see you." And I just think that's so profound.

“Of course we’re in love, that’s why i tried to shoot you” “if you really loved me you wouldn’t have missed” is such a raw ass line you would think it comes from Goncharov (1973) and you would be right

guess he died!

I was talking to an "enlightened centrist" colleague who I respect in a lot of ways but not really politically. Anyway, we're chatting and the topic of Norm MacDonald comes up. We both like him and are trading jokes of his back and forth. Then I say "I love his bit about Hitler 'The more I read about that guy, the less I like him'". And then my friend backs off and goes "Well and I don't even want to get into his politics."

Dude....what.the.fuck.is.wrong.with.people.

still thinking about "decolonising" missionary work.

the way you decolonise missionary work is by not doing missionary work

the way you decolonise missionaries is like this:

soup-mother

"but it's part of my religion to evangelise"

🐆🐆🐆🐆🐆🐆🐆🐆🐆 infinite jaguar attack

"but we need to go to Ethiopia (one of the oldest christian countries in the world) to make them the right kind of christian!"

🐆🐆🐆🐆🐆🐆

jaguars

"but..."

🐆🐆🐆🐆🐆🐆🐆🐆 jaguars

soup-mother

"but missionaries bring schools and hospitals to poor countries" that's called humanitarian aid and trying to use humanitarian aid to get religious converts is actually SUPER fucked! hope this helps 🐆🐆🐆

Surely not JUST jaguar attacks. Lot of places where jaguars would themselves be an invasive species brought by colonists if they were present.

May I suggest the NORTH SENTINELESE method of dispatching missionaries?

Nearly every culture on earth has independently created a bow and arrow. It's nearly univseral. Very low chance of unwanted cultural cross contamination. Great choice!
