Good read re Odyssey
There have been lots of reviews of the new Odyssey movie, and as an ancient historian, people are probably expecting me to weigh in. I saw the film yesterday afternoon with my brother and sister (on the regular screen, not IMAX). But first let me just say that if you are expecting me to assess the historical accuracy of the movie, you will be disappointed. When it comes to modern adaptations of ancient literature, historical accuracy is not very relevant. After all, the original is not historically accurate and reflects elements from different time periods, and indeed, while there may be a historical kernel of truth to Odysseus' voyage (though I doubt it), there is no evidence of it ever happening. No, it is far more appropriate for me simply to assess how well the film adheres to the original text. 1/
Dope.

I disagree. I think Americans are suffering.
For instance, your imported cotton-polyester blend flannels retail for $75. No one wanted to buy them, so you had to discount them to $50.
A pure cotton, made-in-USA Gitman flannel shirt cost $280 under Biden. Under Trump, it's $310.
Mamdani’s win had nothing to do with the economy. Nothing to do with whatever bullshit the pundits are selling. Mamdani won because he appealed to the tribal interests of the foreigners who have taken over the city. The longer that voters had lived in New York, the less they supported Mamdani. That’s the whole story.

To me this will depend on performance more than anything. We have seen this before. Music does not translate well when the performance is not up to par. And honestly, while I have no clue what the No Limit roster is up to today, I know the CMR roster is plagued by lots of issues
