Lots of people telling me The Odyssey is a terrible film on the basis of not having seen it…
FWIW, I’ve now watched it twice, and it is by some way the best cinematic adaptation of a Greek myth I have ever seen.
It honours Homer while simultaneously making something new of him
To everyone in Mexico City who made England supporters feel so welcome over the last few days, thank you. What an incredible city you have, and even better people.
For those who travelled from England, this will be remembered as one of the favourite away trips. Thank you to everyone who organised, hosted and welcomed us with such warmth and respect.
From the Chihuahuas at our Fans’ Embassy to the Lucha Libre, to the bars and the restaurants, the incredible stadium atmosphere and the respect shown after the final whistle, it’s been a trip we’ll never forget.
Now it’s on to Miami (via anywhere and everywhere in between), but we hope our paths cross again soon. 🏴🤝🇲🇽

Stray Dogs Are “Adopting” Camels In Iraq — And Researchers Think They Know Why
Photos taken outside a desert city in Iraq are going viral after locals noticed the same strange pattern happening over and over: stray dogs walking beside camels like they belong to them. At first, people thought the dogs were just following for shade. But after weeks of sightings, locals realized the dogs were staying close even when the camels crossed empty desert roads, rested near the city edge, or moved toward watering areas.
Researchers looking into the behavior believe the dogs may have learned that camels often know where water and food can be found. In return, the dogs help protect the camels by barking when strangers, other dogs, or predators get too close. What started as a survival habit has slowly turned into something that looks almost like a partnership the camels lead them through the desert, and the dogs guard them like family.
We are thrilled to highlight Benjamin Fields, BA, a Researcher at NASA Goddard Spaceflight Center, who will be speaking at this year’s SCU Conference!
