Post credits scene: The Archaic Torso of Apollo is slumped over a bar, drained from his adventures and dribbling whisky on its neck stump. From off-screen we hear a familiar voice: 'You must change your life.'

He didn't include any sex in The Odyssey, his adaptation of Catullus 16 is just dead air.

Well see now it's actually brave and wise not to tell the people what they want to hear, unlikely the extremely well-recompensed leftist writers out there.

Yeah, it's typically code for 'I can see homeless people on the subway,' but even so it doesn't seem to come from the people who regularly ride public transit. All of my friends with small children in NYC ride the subway with them on a daily basis.

Yeah, he clearly means 'Everything I do is good because the alternative is the collapse of the Republic,' and everybody in the audience knows it because it's the Ronald Reagan Civility Congress.

When they sailed over the horizon and then sailed right back without explaining why, and then the sun refused to rise the following morning, it truly felt as though our age of bronze was collapsing.

I'd guess Graham has a higher number of notable speeches than your average MOC, or at least of 'entertaining by the standards of CSPAN programming.'

I'm not sure this is a policy that has any shooters; most of the defenses of it I've read take the form of 'This is maybe my least favorite Mamdani policy but there's no harm in letting him take a crack at it on a relatively small scale.'

My impression is that the vast majority of people who ride transit in NYC don't complain about crime on trains and the vast majority of complaints about crime on trains is from people who never ride them.

If you distribute their fortunes evenly across the population (in your imagination; do not do this in reality!) you'll see that we're better off than we've ever been.

I thought you had to set speculative fiction somewhere other than present day reality with no changes made.

'I see him everywhere. Everywhere I go, he's there. But nobody else can see him. Or so they say.'

The only way to oppose Netanyahu is not to oppose him at all.

Homer's production values are pathetic.

Plus you'd be taking food out of @michaelhobbes.bsky.social and @notalawyer.bsky.social's mouths. Do you really want to be responsible for their starving to death?

Given Von Trier's comments I think Dafoe would have to be the man from Nantucket.

Yeah, everybody there agrees what those words mean put together in that sequence and it's just very different from what they mean when read on bluesky.

It rules that we get a yearly Ed Park release now after such a long stretch between Personal Days and Same Bed Different Dreams.

Gonna be A24 who scoops up the rights to The Dolphin, though.

However much it makes it will be *just* shy of its break-even point, unfortunately.
