The newspaper wrote that Jorn Barger, who started his Robot Wisdom weblog in 1997, is "regarded by many" as the "first blogger". But who are these "many"? If a blogger had written that phrase, it would have come with a link to the source. The Wall Street Journal's unsupported claim, though hedged with admissions of other contenders to the "first blogger" title, only reinforced the feeling, endemic among bloggers, that the mainstream media, derisively acronymised as MSM, just can't get anything right.
Musk’s Israel tour was transparently transactional and frankly insulting. The antisemitic sentiment Musk endorsed had nothing to do with Israel; “replacement theory” is generally an unsupported allegation that Jews and other immigrants in the US and Europe are destroying Western civilization.

Homeric
Part of speech: adj
Morphological type: derivation
Etymology: From Latin homēricus (“of or pertaining to Homer; Homeric”), from Ancient Greek Ὁμηρικός (Homērikós), from Ὅμηρος (Hómēros, “Homer”) (possibly from ὅμηρος (hómēros, “hostage”), a nickname) + -ῐκός (-ĭkós, suffix forming relational adjectives) (ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *-kos (suffix forming relational adjectives)); analysable as Homer + -ic.
Base: Homer

form: more Homeric
pos: adj

form: most Homeric

form: Homerick
pos: adj
tags: alternative
Senses:
gloss: Resembling or relating to the epic poetry of Homer.
pos: adj
examples: The warmeſt admirers of the great Mantuan poet [Virgil] can extol him for little more than the ſkill with which he has, by making his hero both a traveller and a warrior, united the beauties of the Iliad and the Odyſſey in one compoſition: yet his judgment was perhaps ſometimes overborne, by his avarice of the Homeric treaſures; and, for fear of ſuffering a ſparkling ornament to be loſt, he has inſerted it where it cannot ſhine with its original ſplendor.
In the beginning of the Fourth Book the poet [John Milton] introduces an Homerick cluster of similes; which seems to mark an intention of bestowing more poetical decoration on the conclusion of the Poem, than on the preceding parts of it.
We, having obtained knowledge of the early derivation and distribution of mankind, and of the primitive religion, from sources other than those open to Homer, shall find in this knowledge the lost counterpart of a great portion of the Homeric myths. The theological and Messianic traditions which we find recorded in Scripture, when compared with the Homeric theogony, will be found to correspond with a large and important part of it: […]
In some respects Homeric society is clearly an artificial literary creation. It is a natural tendency of all heroic epic to exaggerate the social status and behaviour of everyone involved, so that characters appear generally to belong to the highest social class and to possess great wealth and extraordinary abilities, in implicit contrast with the inequalities and squalor of the present age.
gloss: Of or pertaining to Greece during the Bronze Age, as described in Homer's works.
pos: adj
examples: Women are often carried away by force; and the whole tribe, as in Homeric times, rise to avenge the wrong.
gloss: Fit to be immortalized in poetry by Homer; epic, heroic.
pos: adj
examples: At home he [John Ruskin] looks young & rompish at the meeting, at Hunts meeting he looked old & ungainly, but his power & eloquence as a speaker were homeric.
In San Francisco there was a barroom for every one hundred inhabitants. Here beer and bourbon fought a homeric battle for the hearts and throats of the thin line of patriots who balanced on the city's brass rails and voluntarily gave the national debt a lift.
