    I am endlessly fascinated by right wingers' obsession with Sparta. I can understand an initial vibes based appeal I guess - like if you opened the first page of a book on timocracy and were twelve. but the thing about history is you can find out what happened to those guys

    seeing more of a particular brand of aggro post lately ("if you weren't a coward you'd be doing xyz thing that would have you dead or in jail" from posters who appear to themselves neither be dead or in jail). could just be feds/bots/trolls trying to entrap people on here but a PSA just in case

    brain poisoned, gutter misogyny. 1) that there is (thankfully) no norm for releasing the play-by-play of personal messages in cases like this and 2) the detail about being explicitly told not to come over and coming over anyway does not in any way complicate this story

    African, can confirm: every moment of your life has been spent during an atrocity somewhere, perpetuated or exacerbated by a larger number of countries and corporations than many care to admit.

    more serious Odyssey opinion: leaning into the religious significance of the Trojan horse strategy (and the hospitality as central to civilization theme) was a good choice by Nolan and friends artistically and politically. strongest condemnation of our present era I'd expect from a mass market film
