@aledeniz Athe w. , 👍🏾🤧 😵‍💫🤑,s,.kch , for Ccgggg Good,

Sicilians of lore – until the mid-to-late 20th century! – followed a naming system often called by English authors the “Sicilian Naming Convention” (SNC). This was an extremely strong, almost ritualistic custom in Sicily and much of the Italian Mezzogiorno. My elders universally believed it was an actual law. It was not, but it carried such social weight that breaking it (especially for the first son) could cause serious family conflict, disapproval, or even definitive ostracism. It classically worked as follows: The overriding principle was to honour older generations in strict birth-order priority, always giving paternal-side relatives precedence over maternal-side ones, and grandparents precedence over everyone else. - The first son received the name of the paternal grandfather. This was by far the most important and non-negotiable rule. The paternal grandfather’s name was carried forward first – it was seen as continuing the soul of the “main” – paternal – family line. Especially the oldest among the firstborn nephews, who were all called the same name. - The first daughter received the name of the paternal grandmother. - The second son was named after the maternal grandfather. - The second daughter was named after the maternal grandmother. At this point the four grandparents had all been honoured – that was in fact the ideal traditional family size. When families were larger (which became very common in the second half of the 19th century), the convention usually continued by moving to the next layer of relatives – the parents’ own siblings – again prioritising the paternal side: - The third son was frequently named after the father’s eldest brother. If older than the father, this uncle was considered to stand in the same symbolic position as an agnatic great-grandfather in the male line. - The third daughter was named after the father’s eldest sister, who similarly could represent (if older than the mother) an agnatic great-grandmother in the female line. - The fourth son was named after the mother’s eldest brother. - The fourth daughter was named after the mother’s eldest sister. And so on down the line of uncles and aunts, still alternating paternal side first. Only after all close relatives in that hierarchy had been covered would families start choosing: - the child’s own father or mother (in some local variations the third child could be named for a parent). This could break the convention is the parent deceased before the baptism, as many family decided to honour the recently deceased parent over all other elders. - great-grandparents, if not previously honoured. - deceased honoured relatives, - patron saints (especially noticeable if a child was born on or near a saint’s feast day), - or occasionally completely new names, though this was frowned upon for early-born children. For example, while Julius Evola was named after his maternal grandfather, he had a brother named – if I recall correctly as third forename – Dinamo! Without knowing anything about him, I know Evola’s dad must have been quite the maverick. It’s a beautiful, almost genealogical system: if you know the names of a large traditional Sicilian family and the birth order, you can often reconstruct much of the previous two generations just from the children’s names. It also means some families have very frequent forenames. My mother’s home city is full of Natale Salvo or Carlo Fiorino, their common ancestor lived centuries ago. There is an important caveat: when a child died – which back then was sadly very common – they went back to honour the same elder, sometimes multiple times, until survival. They used the same algorithm to decide precedence. A relative of mine married twice, he had 5 children named Antonino with the first wife, and another one with the second wife (he restarted the algorithm), he was trying to honour the same elder, he ended up having two children with the same identical name that reached adulthood.

@AnechoicMedia_ Bootlicking bitch

In CCW class they tell you you have a heightened duty to avoid potential fights while armed, as a matter of legal and practical self-preservation. You don't want to raise the stakes to death in a fight, and you don't want to have to argue to a jury later about whether you provoked a fight while armed to bait someone into a self-defense situation. The anti-ICE protestors have inverted the duties of being an armed citizen (or a citizen in control of a lethal instrument, like a car in a traffic stop). They are deliberately creating situations of maximum ambiguity with a low level threat of lethal danger to bait law enforcement into making them heroic victims or martyrs. Being an "observer" of law enforcement, while also armed and getting into shoving distance with them, is just a bad idea, even if you think the law empowers you to play the "I'm not touching you" game with acts of defiance or minor assaults. It's also hazardous to the public trust to create a situation in which every protestor is regarded as a potential threat, and every cop seen to be on the edge of shooting someone. I can't tell from the video whether this guy drew his gun at any point in the struggle. Regardless, getting into a struggle with a cop while armed has a serious chance of ending in your death. Even if the resulting shoot is ruled unjustified or in error, you're still dead, which is only good for people who profit from chaos and mistrust (protestors who cause is bad). The shooting will not have been *unjust* or criminal, just a tragedy. It's also not proof of government oppression, because every government has to enforce laws, and you can't use the chaos of choosing to interfere with law enforcement as proof that having laws is unjust.

Love the way the @Lions defended the #Den last night. In honor of @Jahmyr_Gibbs1 hitting 47 TDs, I am giving away a signed @mitchell_ness jersey. For a shot to win 1. Follow us. 2. What will be the new record? #sanderssponsors

Fucking Christ. Worst part is that there are a bunch of dumb fucks who actually think that "illegals" are the reason they can hardly afford rent/groceries. Spoiler alert: there will always be some "other" to distract you from the fact that the rich are robbing everyone blind

Brian Baldinger on Ricky Pearsall: “He’s got deep ball ability. He’s got man to man ability. He runs those routes that Kyle loves in the middle of the field. He can run the whole route free and be really good at it. When Jauan Jennings and George Kittle come back, Ricky will still be the #1 guy… He’s going to be the primary receiver on a lot of the routes. He’s proven he can handle that. He’s earned his right to get 8-10 targets a game right now.” via: @MorningRoast957 | @957thegame

Haven't seen one in the wild in quite some time, but if you're defending the genocidal freaks who bombed a hospital to take out a "Hamas camera", please go fuck yourself and die

@nnewelll Start a substack - can't be giving out game like this for free

Bro we HAVE to cop the new cream colored SnapBack with a dark brim that has the name of a city written upside down on it 🔥

@youasidepiece Some foul shit you got there, let's get a drop

On My Mind but make it sexual

@nnewelll Gorgeous pocket. 100yd night easy

@LemmonisP @StanleyGarcia88 @MoeJazulla Andrew Tate in bio - make that reason 14

This is a huge sign of AIDS, i’m not lying.

@jahontheSIM Columbus patiently awaits the return of the King:

If you don't have an issue with the gross attacks on the civil liberties of American citizens simply for refusing to remain silent in the face of genocide you are: 1. A dumb fuck 2. Hilariously unserious about civil rights 3. So fucking stupid my brain hurts

I will lead the breach. I will lay down cover fire. I will take the high ground. I’ll expose myself to enemy fire to communicate. We must bring back integrity, and focus to the Twinnies Pelican and Seabird Rescue

For this to have been a deliberate act — which it plainly was — consider what that means. A person within the IDF saw the news that Fatma’s film was accepted into Cannes. He/she/they then proposed assassinating her. Other people reviewed the suggestion and approved it. Then other people carried it out. If I am wrong, please share the statement of regret, and the pledge to investigate, from the IDF in the replies.
