The Bacchae: The tragedy is based on the Greek myth of King Pentheus of Thebes and his mother Agave, and their punishment by the god Dionysus (who is Pentheus's cousin). The god Dionysus appears at the beginning of the play and proclaims that he has arrived in Thebes to avenge the slander, which has been repeated by his aunts, that he is not the son of Zeus. In response, he intends to introduce Dionysian rites into the city, and he intends to demonstrate to the king, Pentheus, and to Thebes that he was indeed born a god.

The Flies: The play recounts the story of Orestes and his sister Electra in their quest to avenge the death of their father Agamemnon, king of Argos, by killing their mother Clytemnestra and her husband Aegisthus, who had deposed and killed him. Electra and Orestes engage in a battle with Zeus and his Furies, who are the gods of Argos and the centerpiece for self-abnegating religious rituals. This results in fear and a lack of autonomy for Zeus's worshippers, who live in constant shame of their humanity.

Propaganda under the cut!

The Bacchae:

the og play for boys with mommy issues sorry..... but also we've got cross-dressing & repression & discovery of sexuality, we've got divine madness, we've got the child paying for the sins of his parents...... what more could you WANT!!! and yes i know everyone recommends anne carson but they're right about it her version is so so good

The Flies: 

No propaganda submitted

THE TUTOR: I can't think how you bear it — this emptiness, the shimming air, that fierce sun overhead.  ORESTES: I was born here.

“WILL.I.AMG” (Aka the Flip) by West Coast Customs

Called the Flip, it’s an interesting mixture of SLS Gullwing, Maybach and G-Wagen, and grafts the face of the latter on the donor car’s front end. Smoked out rear lights and suicide doors also feature on the one-off project.

Activities around the car should support will.i.am’s i.am/Angel Foundation, which works on helping the underprivileged get into STEM.

I may not like Sartre's The Flies, specifically for Orestes, but I can appreciate it for the fact that it's a highly philosophical, political and tragic text

Bruce forwarding Wayne Enterprises advertisement emails to Tim for him to deal with only to realise too late he's actually been sending them to Jason.

He only finds out as he's driving down town and sees a giant billboard reading 'Wayne Enterprises. Our CEO is getting plowed by Superman. Can you say the same for yours?'

Suprisingly, the share price goes up.

Wasps so tiny you will question everything.

Imagine being so teeny tiny that you are an endoparasite on *leafhoppers* Leafhoppers are already in the "so small they go unnoticed" category, and you're just a little pest on a minuscule thing.

Of course the group that's most likely to choose this life? The wasps Wasps are some of the smallest insects. There are "fairy flies" that are parasites of the eggs of certain insects.

They are so small that air is "thick" to them and their wings have feathered edges are are oar shaped.

Some fairly flies are so tiny that their neurons are cells without nuclei. They got rid of them to save space. They can still think though... presumably the tiniest little thoughts.

They lay their eggs inside of the eggs of 1-2mm long crop pests.

And... read the article to see what the males are like... they are even smaller somehow, but it's ... disturbing.
