Describe a character in Greek mythology the way someone trying to defend a politician would.

Theseus: We need to stop with all these purity tests if we ever hope to win back power. You think any of the cretins we're up against care if their ship is still the same ship?
Cronus: oh so you're never hungry? You never eat?

"They cheated on a commercial. Those frogs hated Budweiser and they said they didn't. They actually preferred Coors Light. 'Tap the Rockies,' that's what they used to say. They'd come into the restaurant in Trump Tower and say 'Tap the Rockies for us, Mr. Trump'. Can you believe it?"
Trump: "They cheated on a commercial. Ronald Reagan loved tariffs and they said he didn't. And I guess it was AI or something. They cheated badly. Canada got caught cheating on a commercial. Can you believe it?"

I have an idea for who they can get to cook the meal, though it's kind of hard to find her since she has no name.
U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on Monday criticized the media and politicians, including Gov. JB Pritzker, for “trying to demonize” federal immigration agents and she urged citizens to thank law enforcement officers and “cook a meal for their families.”

MAD DOCTOR’S LOVE SONG

I shall be tied forever to the dead,
Reanimated flesh, life born again.
(Because I dreamed you up inside my head.)

The stupid, pesky villagers see red,
With pitchforks and with torches barging in:
I shall be tied forever to the dead.

And all the spooky scary skeletons and grim grinning ghosts will look up and shout "Mr. Purple People Eater, don’t eat me!"... and I'll look down, and whisper "Whatever happened to my Transylvania Twist?"

“I was neat, clean, swabbed and sober, and I didn’t care who knew it. I was everything the well-maintained boat ought to be. I was calling on four million dollars.”
I saw this guy the other day and thought he needed a cigarette since he's obviously a private detective who lives in a marina because he's ALREADY A BOAT. His name is Kristopher Clues and he can help you figure out the mystery.

Two art restorers were putting the final touches on a months-long restoration of the tomb of Pope Urban VIII, who in 1626 consecrated St. Peter’s Basilica, when the convalescing Pope Francis appeared, unannounced, in a wheelchair — his third such surprise appearance in less than a week.

If you’re a North Carolinian, you can check whether your name or the names of anyone you know is on the list of the 65K voters whose votes may be tossed. You could have an opportunity to fix it if so.

A terrific read, in every sense of the word. Can also add from personal experience that it makes a good addition to holiday/birthday wishlists. You get a great story and someone else gets credit for being a great gift giver.
By the way, is today a good day to once again exhort people to purchase the Nebula-finalist, Locus-recommended, BSFA-longlisted THE BUTCHER OF THE FOREST?
