Chinese interview: The concept of atonement didn’t really exist in Ancient Greece and it didn’t exist in Homer’s Odyssey. It exists in your Odyssey. Did you Christianize the Odyssey?

@udupendra @karthiks The Netflix adaptation was great too

Watching Trump teeter on the edge of blowing up the world economy because of a combination of hubris, strategic incoherence, mendacity and outright stupidity, might be the most extraordinarily depressing thing I have observed in my entire life, or read about in any other period.

My GOAT is really a sicko

[Paul Pogba @paulpogba]

Last night was unforgettable.

Stepping back onto the pitch after two years away meant more to me than I can express. To the fans, thank you for the love, the energy, and the belief.

To everyone who stood behind me, supported me, and pushed me through every moment of this journey, I’m deeply grateful. This debut wasn’t just mine…

it belonged to all of you who never stopped supporting me.

[John Frankensteiner @JFrankensteiner]

Genuinely believe that Francis Ford Coppola, at the peak of his powers, using a film projector to stir a tomato sauce, so that he, Scorsese, and Brian De Palma could leave to watch the first screening of The Last Waltz, is the apex of being Italian
