The MLB Spaghetti Policy - Teams who will allow you to bring in a gallon ziplock bag of spaghetti 🍝 to a game. Want to add the Phillies here too. Their policy was unclear online but we found posts this morning showing they’d allow it too.

sorry folks. Achilles and Odysseus are not role models, they are epic heroes. Each epic starts by specifying their destructiveness to their communities. Iliad: Achilles's rage sends myriad Achaeans to their doom Odyssey: Odysseus tried to bring his men home and failed

What we’re seeing on X these past few days is insane. > They’re trying like maniacs to convince you that Achilles is not a hero or a role model, even though he was the greatest role model in the West for 3,000 years. > They’re trying to convince you that he had a sexual relationship with his dear brotherly friend Patroclus, even though Homer says nothing of the sort. On the contrary, Homer mentions his relationships with women, states that Achilles has a son, Neoptolemus, and that at Patroclus’ funeral, Achilles and Briseis weep because he didn’t manage to marry them. That’s what Homer writes. > They’re trying to convince you that he shouldn’t be a role model for men because he was weak and a “cry baby”. This is being said by uneducated barbarians whose sources are the movie and secondary interpretations. They want you weak and disillusioned with classical studies. All these pseudo intellectuals have invaded the academic community of classical studies and archaeology and are trying to completely rewrite the facts in order to repel you. They want to fully control classical studies the same way they control art. Because if they control the Classics they will control the civilizational narrative. Don’t fall victim to their Marxist anti-Greek and anti-Western propaganda. Achilles was, is, and will always be the role model of a healthy man. Never forget that Alexander the Great slept with a copy of the Iliad (from Aristotle) under his pillow, along with his dagger. His role model was Achilles, who was also his ancestor on his mother’s side. Never forget that.






My final story for The Washington Post is about the first third country deportation flight from the U.S. to Ghana. I spoke to two people who were on that Sept. 5-6 flight, including a woman from Togo who fled the country in 2024 to escape FGM. wapo.st/4dvSWHn
