@TheLaurenChen Maybe she needs to expand her worldview to include trans women lesbians? That'd get her some d.

It's the septum ring - it's a big red flag

@HomerPavlos Imagine walking around being that aggrieved, all the time. This woman has never had a happy thought unless it's tied to the destruction of men.

Emily Wilson is a kind of a feminist that is truly a bad person that wants to hurt you. Not directly, but in depth, through her profession as a classicist. She is attacking my culture and the Greeks because she hates virtues. She is blatantly lying because most of you don't know to read Greek. But I am Greek and I can read both modern and ancient Greek. So let me tell you why she is purposely lying. The references with insulting epithets toward the servant/slave women who betrayed Odysseus’s house and slept with the suitors are numerous. The most common ones, however, are "bitches" and "shameless" that were serious insults. Most foreigners translated the word "bitch" as "slut" which is correct to say that this is wrong because it's not what the text writes but in a sense of "non-literal translation" it's not out of context because those women who slept with the suitors and betrayed Penelope were "shameless bitches". Especially the word "shameless" is a strong insult in Greek. It implies sexual shamelessness lack of decency, and moral boldness and this is why foreign translators are using the word "sluts" in English. But Homer doesn't use the Greek word directly to call them "whores". The following translations I will use are made directly from the ancient Greek text into modern Greek. We Greeks do not read foreign translations. What we call an adaptation (απόδοση) from ancient to modern Greek is not considered a "translation" for us, since it is the same language. In other words an adaptation of a Greek text bridges the gap between ancient or dialectic Greek and the modern target audience. 1. Odysseus to a servant woman (Book 18, line 340): "Bitch, if I go and immediately repeat your wretched words to Telemachus, he will tear you to pieces, you’ll be smashed into bits." [ἦ τάχα Τηλεμάχῳ ἐρέω, κύον (=Bitch), οἷ᾽ ἀγορεύεις, κεῖσ᾽ ἐλθών, ἵνα σ᾽ αὖθι διὰ μελεϊστὶ τάμῃσιν] 2. Penelope to Melantho (the servant who slept with Eurymachus and betrayed them), when Melantho spoke rudely to Odysseus (who was still disguised) (Book 19, line 91): "Nevertheless, you bold, shameless bitch, you do not escape my notice at all, doing a great deed which you will wipe off on your own head." [πάντως, θαρσαλέη, κύον ἀδεές (=fearless bitch), οὔ τί με λήθεις ἔρδουσα μέγα ἔργον, ὃ σῇ κεφαλῇ ἀναμάξεις] 3. "Perhaps in foreign lands too, some servant women insult him, every time he enters a famous lord’s house, just like these bitches here who all together insult you, stranger. I imagine that to avoid their reproach, their shamelessness…" (Book 19, around line 370) 4. "Servant women shamelessly dragging themselves here and there." (Book 20, line 318) 5. "Twelve of them appeared completely shameless, who had no regard for me and showed no respect to Penelope." (Book 22, line 422) Emily Wilson cannot tolerate any criticism of the women who betrayed the man Odysseus and slept like shameless bitches with the enemy, betraying Penelope. In her worldview, men are always the bad guys, and only women are the heroines. She herself calls the academic translators misogynists. It is inconceivable that there are today "eunuch" academics who defend this malicious and worthless woman. This woman is in Classical Studies in order to destroy them, so that you, who will read her books, will form a false image of the epics that built Western civilization. How Odysseus is not a hero, Achilles is not a hero, men are not great and brave but evil, and how the patriarchy must be fought so that women can win. They are trying to convince you that there is no heroism in Homer. Yet the epics were written precisely for this reason: so that you understand what it means to be a hero, what sacrifices are required, what difficulties you will face, and how you will achieve eternal fame. How you will conquer your passions, how anger destroys you, and how moral virtues lead you toward godlike status. She hates all of this. She wants you spiritually dead. She hates you. Therefore, it is completely justified for you to hate them too.

@RadioGenoa Haven't you ever seen a stair climber at the gym 🤣

They say they invented everything.

@RealJamesWoods Aren't there like, electric nets that can be thrown over these people? Zoos must have lo-fi technology for containing out of control animals?

But we do live like this. And why? Because Democrats have destroyed the very fabric of our culture. They have no way to get legitimate votes, so they cater to these savages, and important even more of them.

@kojimaicmatters Whuuuuuut you must remedy that even if you never do a review!

@PinkPossumPink I'm not sure if I saw that one.

Am I supposed to take Hellraiser as sex-positive? Queer affirming? Trans validating? lol a sex addict seeks out occult trinkets to get his dick working again and is taken away by Slaanesh daemons to their sensationmaxxing dimension to murderfuck him and somehow his his remains end up dumped under his brother's house. A bit of blood his brother's blood spilled by accident resurrects him, and then the brother's wife sacrifices everything in her life for her brother in law's undead dick, becoming his thrall and serving him by using her sex appeal to lure strange men into his lair where he can absorb their life-force to regenerate his flesh. His virginal niece recovers the occult trinket and accidentally summons Slaanesh daemons who tell her, hey, we're Slaanesh daemons, have you seen a pleasureslave around here anywhere we lost one? And she's like ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh what. Turns out it's her uncle. The undead sex-maniac then murders his brother, and his wife, and tries to fuck his niece until the Slaanesh daemons take him back to his eternal murderfucking. So... hedonistic pursuit of sexual pleasure is existentially dangerous and overindulgence in sensual pleasures leads to... being tortured by Slaanesh daemons? Cheating on your spouse gets you thrown away like garbage for a younger woman? Hellraiser is a kinkshaming movie about the dangers of non-monogamy. Chud approved.

@RealJamesWoods You would think that the environmental catastrophes of rampant homeless takeovers alone would lead to their demise.... But you'd be wrong. Very wrong.

Karen Bass, ladies and gents…

@BernieSanders It's chilling how comfortable you are spending other people's money.

Mr. Bezos: Let's have that debate. Under my 5% billionaires wealth tax, we'd: -Give $12K to a working family of 4 -Expand Medicare for dental, vision, hearing -Guarantee universal childcare -Raise starting teacher pay to $60K And you'd still be worth $269 billion after taxes.

@EndWokeness Can new charges be brought, federal perhaps?

@jbarro The more they try to justify it -- must have certain spices! -- the more absurd they sound.

People used to be embarrassed to admit that they found everyday tasks too overwhelming to handle, now it's an identity

@RealJamesWoods Scott Adams is whispering sweet nothings in their ears from his perch up in Heaven...

You know why.

@nithyavraman Wait, weren't you on the City Council 🧐 and yet... Here you are, acting all like, "Whuhappin?"

In January 2025, the worst fires in LA history struck our city. Seventeen months later: There is still no plan for rebuilding. There is still no one in charge.  And today, as flames spread only a few miles outside the city, we are no better prepared to fight the next one.

@DefiantLs Show us your tits.

What is this genre of music called?

@Corgi_actual @ChristianHeiens George Soros is in theory an American, but he represents the globalists. And yes, they run the democrats. That must be what you mean.

Lolberts are jokes and their “muh principles” always seem to align with the left when it matters. That is true. However they didn’t politically crush Massie because he was doing typical Lolbert shit. The GOP doesn’t care about typical LOLbert bullshit whining about Illegal alien aborted fetuses protecting their pot and gay tranny momdad from racisms with assault rifles. They aborted Massie because he refused to align himself with a foreign nation. That’s troubling to me. Both things can be true. Both things are in fact true. Massie was a joke. Lolberts are a joke . However I am very concerned that a foreign state is basically running our political process in at least one major political party.

The lesson from this mass crash out is quite simple. Do not pander to Libertarians, ever. These people cannot be satiated in any way and there is no point in ever trying to court them. The moment you do, they begin to act like they own you. They have no sense of courtesy, no sense of loyalty, and regularly treat their own “allies” worse than they do their stated enemies. These people will genuinely take someone who agrees with them 80% of the time, and abuse them to no end even as they lavish praise upon someone who agrees with them just 20% of the time. It is preferable to simply be their enemy right from the start than it is to try and win them over. Don’t give these people the option to be on your side. Force them to become Democrats like they’ve always wanted to be. They’ll destroy the Dems from within anyway because Libertarianism is an inherently anti-political ideology that has no idea how to seize power and wield it. There are some with a libertarian-ish mindset who genuinely hate Progressive managerialism, central banking, and the Federal administrative state. These people are friends, not enemies. The problem isn’t with each and every person who may call themselves a “libertarian” or a “liberty-minded conservative”. The problem is with Libertarianism as a governing philosophy. It is useful as an acid and little more. Libertarianism can dissolve power, but it cannot build a lasting political order. We are entering an age where order must be reestablished. And this makes Libertarianism not only incompatible with the Right, but actually antagonistic.

@Fat_Electrician She's too much of a coward to leave her replies open. She's condescending to those she pretends to champion but won't engage. Taylor, honey, people who "don't cook" can presumably open a box of cereal or a container of yogurt. Maybe boil water for some eggs or oatmeal.

We are unironically moments away from people legitimately declaring DoorDash is a human right.

@AdelineDimond He looks like one of the unhoused neighbors whos just stealing diapers for his 7 kids who live in cars while dealing and taking drugs to minimize the agonizing pain of being houseless in a wealthy country that can afford to support him in the style to which he's become accustomed

I know the only way to get people to pay attention here is to go full snark, but I can't on this one, so here's an earnest post warning alert: This Adam person (whom I never heard of until I saw this navel-gazing video) grew up in Long Island. Obviously all are welcome in LA -- this is where you come to reinvent yourself! -- but I am real tired of transplants lecturing those of us who grew up here, went to school here, saw our parents buy homes here, live here, die here about Los Angeles. It's offensive, condescending, contemptuous and also wildly delusional -- there is nothing about being a comedian that qualifies him to lecture anyone about a grocery list, and yet he's so lacking in humility that he actually explains the jungle primary to the rest of LA. Apparently he has a show on @HBO. Save LA, don't watch it.

@RichPianian Who even is that.

It might be over guys. One of the most unlikeable and fat pieces of shit on the planet just endorsed Nithya Raman. Prattriots are in total shambles.

@AuronMacintyre Everything old is new again. Soon the divide will be those who can read (books, documents) and those who are actually or even functionally illiterate. Handwriting will be relegated to the priestly class, again. Thinking will be for those in the fortress. And so it goes.

AI will hit literacy like a freight train You think it’s bad now? Just wait till people who can barely read are listening to AI narration explain carefully curated algorithms slop Homeschool radicals who read physical books will seem like ancient Roman aristocrats

@elonmusk A space age Corinthian Column.

The all black paint on the base looks cool

@BWLH_ Probably the first, most important thing DeSantis has actually failed at: developing a successor.

Don’t run black candidates, Republicans. This isn’t hard.
