Gaza is nearly 3 times smaller than Hiroshima, and Israel has dropped the equivalent of 6 ATOMIC BOMBS on Gaza.

Don't stop talking about Gaza as if your life depends on it, because their lives depend on it! #GazaGenocide

I'm loving your Iliad live-comments, and I love the idea of choices having a smell. Maybe you're actually Aeschylus, back from the dead with the complete "Myrmidons" -- a lost tragedy featuring "the holy honor of the thigh-bond", "intimacy of thighs" and "countless kisses".

MAY DECEMBER! Moore! Portman! Melton! I wonder if Todd Haynes reads Alice Munro. Not an adaptation, it had the sensibility of Munro writing it as I watched it. Uncomfortable! Magnificent!

Opinion | A Trump dictatorship is increasingly inevitable. We should stop pretending. There is a clear path to dictatorship in the United States, and it is getting shorter every day. So why is everyone behaving like normal?

"The magical-thinking phase is ending. Barring some miracle,” T will be the nominee, and “there will be a swift and dramatic shift in the political power dynamic, in his favor.”

“Yes, I pray, and so do you, and you know it: when everything goes badly, we throw ourselves into prayer, to rediscover the atmosphere of our first communion. And you do it, you do too.”

In high school, I was so confused by several characters in The Iliad having the same name. Like, there are Ajaxes all over the place. But then, in college, I had sex with three or four Ryans in a row, quickly followed by two Roberts. And I was like “oh, I get it now.”

Congratulations to these authors. I’m especially excited about @tmcallister.bsky.social’s book because I’ve been enjoying that project in pieces as it has developed.
