These are the types of cats that get found out in a motel room with a transexual sex worker and a mound of blow.

another Odyssey point: I think the film's own themes would have been reinforced by more emphasis on *sexual* violence committed by the Greeks, which we only really see referenced in the scene with Circe. This is something very hard to do well but which has plenty of classical reference points.

Like, I totally see the idea of saying that the MENA plus Europe equals a "post-Roman" world. That makes perfect sense. The problem is that people take this distinction between "European" and "Oriental" that's actually just a racialization of "Christian" vs "Muslims", and try to apply it to Jews.

“It is difficult to tell the difference between an al-Qaeda that is stealthily rebuilding and an al-Qaeda that is dead,” @gcaw.bsky.social writes. He explores where the terrorist organization stands, 25 years after 9/11:

Twenty-five years after 9/11, analysts can’t decide whether the terrorist organization got what it wanted.

Protestantism of today is not what it used to be back in the 16th century. And I do object to her mischaracterization and misappropriation of what she mentioned. Hope to have my position known, if it was ever in doubt.

It's not really lucky, it's the other way around. Important Waterways probably generate states next to them. Someone would have grown up there because just look at it. The precursor to the precursor to the precursor of Iran was that, and then the world discovered oil

False. I took up the CAIR and AIPAC issue because you have a problem with one, not the other, when they both play a similar kind of role, to which you drew a distinction, and I countered with their shady dealings.

Oh dreary me...he said this in one of his radio talks in the local Detroit area. And then said multiple things along the same line; I just quoted one of them. There's this rather bizarre moment in his podcast too. Beyond demented at this point in time. Pearl clutching atm.

Your mendacity is troubling. I praised Francis Drake who defended British islands against the Spaniards. And I defended Reconquista because it was a fight against tyrannical Islamic forces. One can have two positions; it's not mutually exclusive. Or is this too hard for you to fathom?
