Colman Domingo goes OFF on Elon Musk over his plans to create a “historically accurate” AI version of The Odyssey 😭👀
“Now Elon Musk is planning to create what he calls a ‘historically accurate’ version of The Odyssey using his Grok AI. And by ‘historically accurate,’ he means whiter than Christmas at Cracker Barrel.”
“You can’t make a historically accurate version of something that is totally made the f*** up. The Odyssey is fiction… like The Hunger Games, or the president’s cognitive exams.”
“Doesn’t Elon Musk have better things to do? Wasn’t this b-tch supposed to be on Mars by now?” 💀
The Odyssey was amazing. Nolan did his thing.
I see everyone recommending retellings and translations to read next, but don't overlook Derek Walcott's Omeros. It's a masterpiece—an epic reimagining that honors Homer while carving out its own place in modern mythology.
Saw I Love Boosters last night. It was a good time. My only wish is that it was a little longer and that certain thematic concepts were more deeply explored.
Vogue Faces Backlash for Attempting to Rename the Afro hairstyle in a recent article
The editor referred to the hairstyle as a "cloud bob" — described as a soft, airy, rounded cut with volume and natural texture. The piece featured imagery of Tracee Ellis Ross’s iconic look and styles clearly rooted in the Afro, yet made no reference to its deep cultural history.
The response from the Black community has been swift and vocal. Many see this as another instance of cultural erasure — rebranding a hairstyle long tied to Black identity, pride, and resistance with a neutral, trend-friendly name.
The Afro isn’t just a look; it’s a symbol. From the Civil Rights era to today, it represents unapologetic authenticity and natural beauty. Renaming it risks diminishing that legacy while profiting from the very aesthetic it helped create. Fashion should celebrate innovation without erasing origins. True appreciation includes acknowledgment and respect for the communities that originated these styles.
