Another perspective: Miguel de Cervantes, one of the most famous authors in Western history, was himself enslaved by Muslims for 5 years.
Cervantes fought along with the Holy League in the Battle of Lepanto (Oct. 7, 1571) against the Ottoman Turks but was captured and enslaved in Algiers in 1575 along with his brother Rodrigo. While his family managed the ransom for his brother within a few years, Cervantes would languish for 3 more years, unsuccessfully attempting escape 4 times.
In the end a religious group in Spain, the Trinitarian Friars, raised the money for his ransom and he was finally free.
He published the first installment of Don Quixote, including his somewhat autobiographical chapters about a Christian enslaved by Muslims in the Barbary, years later in 1605.
It's one of the most famous works in Western literature, largely credited as being the first modern novel and was an immediate sensation upon its publication. Complete with the 3 chapter "Captive's Tale" section about the Muslim enslavement of Christians.
This was all common knowledge as well as a constant threat, part of our culture and art for centuries. Our modern amnesia regarding the widespread constant enslavement of Christians by Muslims is the aberration.
(Cervantes Captured by Barbary Pirates, Emil Johann Laufer 1861)

We were 100% correct about homosexuality. We warned it would lead to this.
Dilan Esper@dilanesper
One reason I don't take religious conservatives seriously on sex and marriage stuff is that 99.99% of them have never admitted they or their movement was wrong about homosexuality.

@AgitpropMaster @GreeneMan6 They're even weaker, but they have the power of friendship on their side.

@GreeneMan6 If the villain is actually a weak little bitch,
how tough were the heroes really?

This idea of humiliating the villains at the end of a series is a relatively new thing. Case in point, I remember the Nazi major Konig from “Enemy at the Gates” (2000). When facing his death he removes his hat with dignity and looks his enemy (the protagonist) in the eye.

In The Boys finale, Homelander had to look powerless according to Eric Kripke “Yeah, it was really important to us for Homelander to at least experience a little bit of time powerless.” “People have asked me, ‘Well, why don’t you send him out in the world powerless, wouldn’t that be the ultimate punishment?’ “I’m like, it would, until he gets his hands on some more Compound V, and then you’re back to where you started.” “So, he cannot walk out of that room alive, but we can spend time with him powerless to really reveal what everyone’s been saying all season, which is, ‘Take away those powers and you are nothing.’ “And he’s so cowardly and blubbering and pathetic, as are most strong men when you remove their power and they’re and they’re faced with their imminent death, they rarely handle it bravely.”

@dlendman2 @lukei4655 @theoscholastica My experience is that when it is really hot not even the fiddleback saves a priest from drenching in sweat.

@EffectiveLevel3 @lukei4655 @theoscholastica Or when it is really hot. Which is a part of the motivation for the design, I believe.

@journeyman121_ @jondelarroz First season is a long build-up formatted in a "monster of the week" way. It's harder for modern audiences.
After it is over the show becomes more fluid with continuing plots.
English
@EffectiveLevel3 @jondelarroz The first season is excellent and contains many of the payoffs that come to fruition later. The only episode that feels out of place is TKO.
English
What happened after the 90s and early 2000s that they can't make sci-fi like this anymore?
English
@dlendman2 @lukei4655 @theoscholastica Fiddleback should be only used by bishops, so we could see the dalmatic underneath.
English
@lukei4655 @theoscholastica The gothic cut is objectively more beautiful than the fiddleback.
English
@journeyman121_ @jondelarroz Only the first season is rough.
English
@jondelarroz I think modern viewers would struggle to follow Babylon 5 style writing today. Streaming ruined this style of show.

Naoki Hamaguchi confirms Chadley will return and play an important part in FF7 Remake Part 3!
“We understand that many fans are fond of Chadley. However, whether he’s become a playable character is something we’re unable to comment on at this time.
That said, Chadley will continue to play an important role even in the final installment of the trilogy. His strong curiosity and tendency to talk a bit too much - inherent traits that he’s aware of and somewhat self-conscious about - will be further explored in the third game, too. It’d make me happy if players could warmly follow how Chadley becomes involved in the story and what role he takes in supporting it.”

American people still thinking they are somehow the only fans and their environment is the only fanbase
Sebbywebz@Sebbywebz
“We understand that many fans are fond of Chadley.” No one likes Chadley. Even die-hard FF7R fans only tolerate him at best With all due respect, how is it possible to be this out of touch?

@Yearns4Heaven I thought Gibson was openly sedevacantist.
English
1. "Fr" Altman is a schismatic who gleefully called upon the death of Pope Francis.
2. Mel Gibson is a borderline-sedevacantist who has 2 children with 2 other women aside from the 7 he already has with his first wife.
Neither are good examples of faith.
John-Henry Westen@JhWesten
Fr. Altman just celebrated Holy Mass on the set of Mel Gibson’s The Resurrection of the Christ — right after the final shot! 🙏 Our good friend @FatherAltman returned from Italy earlier this month after being on set for the last day of filming. Here’s what he told me: “I blessed the cast & crew as they prepared for the final ‘take.’ Then I was privileged to celebrate a Holy Mass of Thanksgiving for Mel and his closest associates.” #TheResurrectionOfTheChrist

@lukei4655 Laity will go after priests anyway, and they'll have to hear confessions in improvised places.
English
Is the Spanish Hierarchy deliberately trying to destroy the fragile attempts at the restoration of the faith there? If so, and if this is accurate, this is a great way to go about it.
𝕊𝕀𝔸𝕋𝔼 𝕊𝔸ℕ𝕋𝕀@SiateSanti
L'Arcidiocesi di #Madrid non allestirà confessionali durante la veglia dei giovani durante la visita di Papa Leone XIV in Spagna il prossimo giugno. Saranno invece disponibili "spazi di ascolto" gestiti da operatori pastorali laici, pronti ad "accompagnare e dialogare con i partecipanti". 🤦🏻♂️

@BrainLeakage03 And all Rick Worley videos about Star Wars.
English
Disney need to mandate that, in order to work on a Star Wars project, you need to have watched every episode of VICTORY AT SEA, at least one FLASH GORDON serial in its entirety, and two or more Kurasawa samurai films.
Jen🦋@JennyC97x
Disney need to mandate that, in order to work on a Star Wars project (whether it be a movie or show) you need to have watched all movies, and all of the Clone Wars and Rebels as a bare minimum.

@TNG512 @jtwritesbooks That's clearly George saying "what have you done to my original plans for the sequel"?
English
@jtwritesbooks Well, one of the things is that there's a fair bit of evidence that Rey was going to be a hidden child of Han and Leia.
For example, there's a video where George Lucas asks JJ Abrams "what happened with Darth Vader's grandchildren?" Grandchildren, plural.
English
I'm increasingly inclined to the theory that it was Carrie Fischer's death, and not any fan backlash or even Snoke dying in TLJ, that really derailed Disney's plans for Episode 9.
🍩 💛@ADonutHolesHole
It's laughable how "J.J. Abrams was hired to direct The Rise of Skywalker cause of The Last Jedi backlash!" has been treated as fact. When in reality Abrams was hired 2 month before TLJ locked picture locked, 4 months before TLJ came out, and after Rian was asked and said no.

Star Wars "Legends" and "BCE/CE" are the same phenomenon. If you refer to the Expanded Universe as "Legends" you aren't a real Star Wars fan.
