The Odyssey is a movie about generational trauma and a critique of the American Dream. But above all else it is a love letter to New York City.

@NikosMohammadi @roddreher You’re famous now, at least, to me.

[Matt Slotnick @matt_slotnick]

the most confusing part of the odyssey is how this took 10 years

My mom just asked if smoking is cool again (she read it in WaPo so it must be true)

My new strategy is going to be Geomaxing. The United States is far too brutal of a dating market to compete in, so im going to geomax to countries with poor economies to mog people.

Absolutely love this piece by @briam_emo on the Camino de Santiago becoming, increasingly, a secular and wellness trek by people who find the Church 'problematic.' Weep but true. @unherd.

"It was fairly typical to see pilgrims crowd the entrance of the small chapels along the way, await the stamp in their credentials, then step behind the altar for a photo and leave again in a minute, never looking at the space they claimed to visit."
@briam_emo for @unherd on the Camino de Santiago in 2026.

"One form of growth asks you to become more fully yourself through self-improvement, while the other asks you to be undone, to surrender as the pathway to transformation."

Essential wisdom, the only thing that actually matters for a happy and fulfilled human life, from @briam_emo for @unherd, on what's wrong with the wellness-focused Camino.

[Valerie Stivers @valerie_reads]

"Doubting the legend or the relics may be chalked up to ordinary skepticism, but rejecting the images inside the church is a different kind of act. To the pilgrim making it, it is a form of moral clarity, a rejection of violence and religious triumphalism, which fits neatly with contemporary commitments to social justice."
@briam_emo for @unherd.

The cathedral "transforms the terms of no one’s arrival. You have walked the Way, and you have reached the cathedral, and you are offered a next step. Whether to take it or not is up to you."

Went to Maryland with a friend and really wanted to ride a boat but the strangers we approached weren’t receptive at all! I showed them my boating license and everything!!
