@ggreenwald @LisaEbtg @TedMoondust @nicoleemalyse I just want to witness number 25 and then he can leave the stage. 🤞

@ggreenwald @LisaEbtg @TedMoondust @nicoleemalyse How do you see Djokovic-Fonseca going?

There are very prescient people on this platform:

@SamBuntz What about shamefacedly?

@eugyppius1 My guess is it's something.

PICARD: Data, shields up

DATA: Brilliant! Shields can reduce damage we sustain. Not immunity. Not hubris. Just prudence. It's not precaution—it's strategy.

[camera shakes]

WORF: HULL BREACHES ON NINE DECKS

DATA: Here's what happened: you told me to raise shields, and I didn't

@ChiBearsMuse In translation, Chicago refuses to give us the taxpayer funds they use for police, fire, & other services for a new stadium, so we will rip of Indiana or Arlington Heights taxpayers

No show ever gave us more clapter

Thank you, Stephen Colbert.

A trolley is about to hit 5 people laying on the track

You can redirect the car, but the other track has not yet reached regulatory approval or completed its 1 year environmental testing period, so operating a train car on it is a violation of transit regulations

What do you do?

[Gregor Baszak @gregorbas1]

@ConanOBrien Been on a Norm binge, as I am every two weeks, and rewatched the Netflix homage to him you did with Letterman, Chappelle et al. about how Norm never debased himself to do clapter comedy.

You know in your heart of hearts that clapter is all that Colbert wanted from his audience.

I've been following the "Christopher Nolan used Emily Wilson's translation of the Odyssey" story but I felt like I just didn't have the grounding to judge if Wilson's translation was good or bad

So I talked with a friend who speaks Ancient Greek to see what the scholarly world thought of it

[Gregor Baszak @gregorbas1]

@politicalmath "Wilson fails to mention that the suitors actively attempt to kill Telemachus" (5).

WTF??!

[Gregor Baszak @gregorbas1]

@discobordism @AlanRMacLeod Even then, hard not to have a pencil in hand.

@eugyppius1 I just skipped Mein Kampf and went straight to his untitled, shorter second book. Far more condensed, got a lot of his worldview and could generously skim his (interminable and extremely tiresome) takes on Tyrol.
