Extremely basic I’m aware but: Odysseus plucking his bow three specific times and it making a noise like an inhuman and powerful harp hit me in the deep well of my soul, but maybe this is just years of Catholic school and learning about oral formulaic theory coming back to haunt me.

Politico's owner is giving Peter Thiel an award. Semafor just added more tech billionaires to its Silicon Valley suck-up advisory board. Now comes the Economist's "Insider" interview with Elon Musk, sponsored by Anthropic. The sorry state of business/tech journalism in one stunning image.
It’s crazy because all of the main characters could be my favorite. Alyssa’s work bringing in Driggit & Gavi is REMARKABLE in the Phase 3 stuff! Lula and Zeen are the real deal, and Sav Malagán is legitimately one of the greatest Jedi in the saga. Not to mention Qort! And FARZALA. The breakout star!
Just finished a complete reread of The High Republic Adventures by @djolder.bsky.social (& a few by @crashwong.bsky.social). Yeah, I’ll say it: this (all 3 phases) is the best Star Wars canon comic series. The characters are so dynamic, so fleshed out, and I care DEEPLY about their relationships!
i actually think the socialist muslim mayor who won his election in the global center of capitalism that also experienced an epochal muslim extremist terror attack only 25 years prior has a few things to teach national democrats about successful campaigning in the face of adversity
Dana HouleA. Biden did this B. A Democratic mayor (in office 6 months) with an almost entirely Democratic city council, in a city that votes 2-1 Democratic in presidential elections doesn’t have a lot of lessons for how to win & govern outside cities & heavily Dem districts.
I’m genuinely wondering how many elections—in Michigan especially—the Democrats are going to have to lose until they’re willing to be adults and have an adult conversation about how unbelievably racist against Muslims the party is
#StupidSuezA great example of how absurd US politics is is that Abdul El Sayed feels compelled to tell random people online to not make fun of Stevens' accent, but an actual elected official who is a Stevens supporter can say that Abdul shouldn't speak Arabic in public and Stevens won't condemn it.

Howard Mortman"Cool kids on the Internet. They're doing the cool kid chatter. Some of 'em might be the coastal elites, making fun of how I talk. But let's be real. They're making fun of Michigan. They're thinking they're better than us. Their jokes, their criticism, only make me fight harder." -- Haley Stevens
last call for this! would love to speak to as many folks as possible!
Luke PlunkettHi! I'm looking to speak to anyone who is finding ways to resist/work around mandatory AI usage policies at work. Mostly games industry-related, but happy to speak to anyone adjacent as well! Published quotes can of course be anon if desired. DM me here or email at luke@aftermath.site, thanks!
This long-form article paints an extremely damning picture of Biden, but also Blinken, Sullivan, Austin, and Finer who all seem to be trying to place the blame solely on their boss.
