Hey @seanmcarroll.bsky.social your recent podcast with Emily Wilson on Homer was very timely because I've been listening to a musical version of the Odyssey. It's my first exposure to it, fun way to learn the story

Was wondering if you've heard it? It's very cool!

Trueee
The same people who’ve spent the last several years decrying “unqualified DEI hires” are now shoehorning through Cabinet nominations who can’t even pass a basic background test.

Also, part of the reason we did bought InfoWars is because people on Bluesky told us it would be funny to buy InfoWars. And those people were right. This is the funniest thing that has ever happened.
