Emily Wilson, whose translation of The Odyssey is itself unfaithful, critiques Christopher Nolan’s adaptation for emphasizing Odysseus’ “shame” over heroic “glory,” calling it a modern psychiatric revision of the character.

According to Moore’s Law Is Dead, some third-party game studios are paying Sony thousands of dollars to feature their games on PlayStation’s official social media at specific times.
The report says some developers are frustrated because those paid posts are flooded with negative comments and community notes from players mad with PlayStation’s recent decisions
It also says this could become a bigger problem for future marketing campaigns, with GTA 6 mentioned as one example if the backlash continues.
Good job guys if this is true, complaining works
An indie developer has turned photos of his wife into one of the bosses in his upcoming Steam RPG, Billy the Hero.
Developer JOJOJOJOsoft said he needed a guardian for the game’s wedding ring, as the RPG includes a marriage system. Instead of creating a random monster, he based the boss on his own wife.
He described her as a “very gentle” person in real life, but joked that the boss “took over 20 years to incubate” before it was “ready to be unleashed.”
The game is full of unusual enemies inspired by real-life photos and everyday objects.
One boss was even created from a plate of leftover KFC.
The developer says Billy the Hero was made without using generative AI.
Is it possible to film a halal killing so that we can all see what it's like ?
Then we could know exactly what's involved and make our minds up about whether it should be allowed in this country
This is it, I'm done with Microslop Windows and I'm beyond PISSED OFF.
Windows automatically installed and turned on Screenshots and screen recording without asking my permission to do so grabbing my:
- My passwords
- My banking log in's
- Everything
I've disabled it now and deleted all the images is captured, but who knows if it is a system process that will quietly get turned on in the background next update and I sure as hell don't want to have to constantly check to see if it's on.
This is a COMPLETE pain in the ass, but starting with my laptop and soon my desktop, I'm done with Microsoft for good.
Linux Mint, here I come.
Man says he was FIRED from Chilis in Louisiana for calling a FEMALE by her actual name and not using “they/them” pronouns
“I’m not participating in that shit anymore. You’re not gonna shame me or force me to participate in it.”
“This is a total violation of my first amendment rights, my religious freedom, my free speech.”
@Chilis is this true???

🚨 Here is the full 53 minutes of my crew and I exposing New York fraud, we uncovered over $190,000,000 in fraud as these fraudsters use the elderly and needy to commit fraud through adult and personal home care scams in NYC. Your tax dollars are paying for elderly Koreans and Chinese to play ping pong and do tai chi, while the fraudsters give $ kickbacks to those who enroll. Like it and share this video, the fraud must STOP.
We ALL work way too hard and pay too much in taxes for fraudsters to steal from our pockets. These fraudsters have been able to defraud American taxpayers for years without any pushback from the public and politicians. Time is up.
EXPOSE IT ALL AND END THE FRAUD.
Nick Shirley uncovers an adult day care in Flushing, Queens with 7,000 phantom members.
Nick: “This public document says you have 7,899 members.”
Employee: “No, we don’t have 7,000 members.”
Nick: “So you’re overbilling then? You’re getting paid $1,600 per patient — that’s how you got $12.9 million in 2024.”
Employee: “Please leave.”
American taxpayer dollars at work.
Some LG, Alienware, and Dell monitor owners have discovered that simply plugging their monitor into a Windows PC can automatically install adware without asking for permission first.
Users are mad because the app immediately starts showing McAfee pop-up ads after it’s installed.
Apparently, this happens because Windows automatically downloads companion apps for supported devices, while Windows handles the installation, monitor manufacturers decide what the app does after it’s installed.
