So every part of this is dumb but the idea that the Iliad is about 'fighting for princesses' is such a vapid take on a work that tells you exactly what it is about in the first (and last) lines.
You can tell the poem isn't really about Bryseis because her return does not resolve the conflict.

I see people talking about Charles Guiteau having phimosis, which reminded me about Louis XVI's inability to consummate his marriage (not due to phimosis, as it turns out), and this incredible letter that his brother-in law the Emperor wrote to his brother about Louis's difficulties:

(welcome to so far in the future that "the year a human being first walked on the moon" is used to refer proverbially to something long ago rather than something yet to come.)

mamdani is going to OVERTHROW sardaukar law. the age of House Cuorrino has come to an end. God created the G train to train the faithful.
mamdani is gonna implement shandalar law. if you want to add new cards to your deck, you have to wander the map and look for random wizard duels
Mamdani gonna implement Shaaloani law. All disputes settled via shootout duels using non-lethal rounds with all the authenticity of a spaghetti western directed by Japanese anime enthusiasts.
(This is a timely Final Fantasy XIV reference)

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.
