I'm listening to Homer's "Odyssey" and wondering if Athena, Zeus, Hermes, and others knew Odysseus was alive, why didn't one of them just tell Penelope and Telemachus that Odysseus was having a hard time getting home, thus saving everyone the whole odyssey?

Queen's "A Night at the Opera" featuring "Bohemian Rhapsody" came out in November.

Fleetwood Mac's "Rumours" was released in July.

Earth, Wind, & Fire's "That's the Way of the World" released in March.

Springsteen's "Born to Run" was released in August.

Feel old yet?

Over on Xitter:

MAGA: "How dare those horrible leftists celebrate the murder of a millionaire CEO."

ALSO MAGA: "Hooray!! Daniel Penny was acquitted of killing a homeless Black guy!!"

So the shooter allegedly left NYC *days ago* by bus and is just now in PA?

My MIL used to come from Matamoros, Mexico, to Atlanta, GA in 24 hours.

People do not deserve to be gunned down on the street in cold blood.

People also do not deserve to go bankrupt for getting sick and having medical claims denied by health insurance company algorithms so that CEOs and shareholders can get richer.

Both of these things can be true.

You know how there are really cool words in German for all kinds of stuff?

Well, I made up my own German word for any Trump voters who are suffering from the effects of having their faces shredded by Panthera pardus.

Watching TV and a commercial for the "Solitaire Cash" app comes on, and it uses the Queen song "The Game."

So, I'm wondering why Queen would sell one of their songs to a dumb phone app? Well, I Googled and discovered that Sony now owns the rights to Queen's songs.

Happy Thanksgiving good people of BlueSky!

May it be full of friends, family, and fun (without maga relatives).

Be kind to yourselves and take time for self-care when you need it.

Do OnlyFans models post their CVs and highlight reels on LinkedIn?
🤔
LinkedIn is arguing it should be excluded from Australia’s proposed ban on social media for kids under 16 because it’s too boring to attract them anyway.

"LinkedIn simply does not have content interesting and appealing to minors," the company told an Australian senate committee.
LinkedIn: We're too boring for kids for social media ban
It is one of a number of tech firms pushing back against Australia's plan to ban social media for under-16s.

If I were to ever do a podcast, it would probably just be me talking about random weird shit I know or random weird shit I'd like to know.

That's also the reason I *don't* have a podcast.

I love Ina, but she's wrong on this one. The shakes are good, but the burgers are meh, at best.

I work with a trans woman. We use the same bathroom at work.

And you know what, we each go into our stalls, do our business, wash our hands, and get back to work.

Maga thinks women's bathrooms are like men's bathrooms where everyone pees side by side because maga doesn't know how anything works.
