A promotional image for a new book, the Odyssey a Modern Retelling by Liv Albert with the caption coming June 2026. The book is brightly coloured and illustrated.

Hi 👋 I wrote (retold) a book… you may have heard of it? Preorder now! Geni.us/theodysseybook

In all seriousness, I am SO proud of this. It’s the Odyssey, for children, but most of all it’s THE Odyssey. Faithful to Homer, contextualized and nuanced… and brightly coloured just like the ancient world!

Ahhhh! Congrats!!!

This is an 8bit spaceship.

Me on vacation

On today’s episode of AOH, Dr. @alexvandewalle.bsky.social, a postdoctoral researcher at Ghent University, discusses his research on the characterization of mythological figures in video games, the evolution of classical reception in games & its growing legitimacy as a field of study.

This reminds me of my cat who threw an absolute fit any time I went out to get groceries during COVID lockdown, but was suddenly fine when I reminded her that was where her chips came from. Priorities...

Very true, they attack you in real life.

I expect flourishes at the eventual book signing.

(I would be cautious about shocking, priors-validating claims of rampant behavior made by a single Substack that is repeating allegations from an activist organization apparently consisting of one person!)

This is Hippo. He's visiting Scotland for the first time. Had no idea they made squeaky toys for humans too. 14/10 (TT: kelseydarragh)

It seems like every day I see a new one of these. Signed and shared.

The Supreme Court has finally announced that Donald Trump’s stupid, illegal tariffs were, in fact, stupid and illegal. Now every company in America is lining up to get a big fat tariff refund from the federal government. But who actually paid those tariffs? YOU did, because America’s big retailers marked everything up. So shouldn’t YOU get the refund? Not a bunch of corporate dipshits and douchebags? Cards Against Humanity thinks so. That’s why we are giving 100% of our tariff refund back to all of you, our customers. Sign up now at GetYourFuckingMoneyBack.com.

This Canadian war game tells an incredible story about Newfoundland soldiers In The Caribou Trail, Montreal-based Unreliable Narrators explores the Newfoundland Regiment's role in the Gallipoli Campaign of WWI.

Had a great chat with Montreal's Unreliable Narrators about The Caribou Trail, their new narrative game about the Newfoundland Regiment during the Gallipoli Campaign of WWI.
So many war games are about bombastic FPSes, so I adore how the team is exploring an overlooked part of Canadian history. 🇨🇦 🎮

In my defense I have always used keyboard and mouse and I want the controller buttons to do different things

Today: "you're actually getting better!" 🫠😂

Loading screen for Hades on a big monitor next to a whiteboard.

Photographic proof that that I got Hades to work in the "smart" room in time for class today.

As a reward, my students roasted my controller skills.
