@SpyralRecords @SirBylHolte Wow, the actual quote is actually light years away from what she’s being accused of saying. Sometimes I wonder if social media has brought out the worst in people or if we were secretly this obnoxious and petty the whole time.

@SirBylHolte This isn't what she SAID. She said faceless troll accounts have Christian in their bios. Milly Alcock is nonplussed about her haters or trolls like you. The haters are doing more promoting than anything. Just like what you do.

Milly Alcock says about her upcoming Supergirl movie: “If you're pissing the right kind of people off, you're doing OK.” So tell us, girlie… Who exactly are the right people to piss off when you’ve got a minimum-appeal product to sell? When you're THE FACE of that product? When that product cost $150–170 million to make? When you need to make $300–$350 million worldwide just to break even? Who exactly are you telling NOT to buy a ticket? Because if the answer is “white Christian men over 40 with sons”… …then your movie is already dead on arrival. But you already know that, don’t you?

@0xHeatt @HomerPavlos I know of Zrinski, but I’m a little bit of a history buff. Just be happy Hollywood hasn’t decided to make a movie. Trust me, you don’t want that.

@HomerPavlos 2300 Croats vs. 100000 Ottomans for a month !!! Leonidas 300 was actually 1500 soldiers with other state-cities joining, and it lasted only 3 days in narrow passage. Respect for sure, but respect Nikola Šubić Zrinski as well. x.com/i/status/20607…

Xerxes said to Leonidas before the battle of Thermopylae: "You have the option not to go against the gods, to side with me and become monarch in Greece" Leonidas replied by letter: "If you knew what is truly good in life, you would refrain from desiring something that does not belong to you. For me, it is more noble to die for Greece than to be a monarch over my own people." And when Xerxes wrote to him: "Send me your weapons" he replied in writing: "μολὼν λαβέ" (Molṑn lavé = Come and take them) Work: Laconica Apofthegmata Author: Plutarch Chapter: Leonidas, son of Anaxandridas

Obviously at first glance you’re right but there’s variables that make the current system more efficient. Not unthinkable, just more efficient and cheaper for both the establishment and the customer. I’ve actually known a couple of Restaurants that do this but they are mostly fine dining. That system would have many drawbacks in a diner for example.

@jonagathos @HistorianUSA1 "The owner/company will be forced add the cost of paying the servers to their prices." Wow, what a concept. It's done in every other business besides the restaurant business.

Blue-haired waitress just destroyed the “end tipping” crowd with cold hard reality “If we get rid of tipping, good luck finding anyone to work Fridays, Saturdays, and especially Sundays.” She lays it out: Why would she bust her ass on 10x busier weekend shifts for the same low hourly wage as a slow Monday? The after-church crowd that “loves Jesus but hates everybody else”? The price hikes that are coming anyway? The restaurants that will cut staff on busy nights? She says the quiet part out loud: That money is coming out of your pocket either way. This is one of the most common-sense takes I’ve heard on this in a long time. Even with the blue hair and piercings… she’s 100% right. Tipping isn’t the problem — it’s the incentive system that actually gets people to show up and hustle. What do you think? End tipping?

@Promontorium @HistorianUSA1 lol!! My wife is an ex waitress currently an ICU nurse she’s really going to get a chuckle from this! Thanks for the laugh 😂

@jonagathos @HistorianUSA1 They make more than nurses with tips. Cut that in half and pay it directly, they still make plenty and the overall cost to customers goes DOWN. Making the restaurant MORE affordable

Wow! Idiot, prick, If you’re calling me all these names you MUST be right! I have little patience for people that use that kind of language so I’m just going to block you. I’m going to agree with you though that it’s not a controversial take, it’s been totally debunked years ago and labeled a “fringe theory” hence no controversy. But I digress, trying to make conversation with a self proclaimed “activist” that gets his science from tabloids is an exercise in futility. C ya!

@jonagathos Besides it's not a "controversial take", I learned this 40 years ago when attending lectures in Anthropology,it's accepted science you idiot!

Here is Helen of Troy (Lupita Nyong'o) for her Elle Magazine cover shoot. She is just as Homer described in his epic poem.

@katoluvzoe @JebraFaushay I get it, you’re a troll! You have to be! The Daily Mail for a source? What’s next? Elvis and Micheal Jackson are alive and were spotted playing pickle ball? Ffs! Imagine having a controversial take and using a tabloid as evidence. 😂

@jonagathos @JebraFaushay 🤦🏾‍♂️

@katoluvzoe @JebraFaushay 😂

@JebraFaushay White skin has only been around for approx 7000 years, so for the previous 200,000+ years homo sapiens sapiens were various shades of Black. Blacks populated planet Earth, long before their genes mutated into white skin. Greek curls are an African gene (Prof Robert Winston).

@RaunchyDragon @HomerPavlos All Greek men serve in the military. It’s mandatory.

@HomerPavlos You love to lean into the Spartan Warrior identity but do you have any military service to speak of? Or is it just pandering?

Did you know that in Ancient Sparta there were laws that prohibited pederasty, even though today some claim it was an institution, something that is not supported by any primary source? Let me show you what's the truth: 1. "I think I should also speak about eros (love) for boys, since this too has to do with education. Other Greeks, either the Boeotians who live together in close pairs of men and boys, or the Eleans who enjoy the bloom of youth, have different customs. Some completely forbid lovers from conversing with boys. Lycurgus, however, in contrast to all these, approved of the following: if a worthy man admired the soul and virtue of a boy and tried to make him a perfect friend and associate with him, he praised this relationship and considered it the best form of education. But if someone appeared to desire the boy’s body, he considered this shameful and legislated that lovers should abstain from their beloved boys in the same way parents abstain from sexual relations with their children or siblings with each other. I am not surprised that some do not believe this, because in many cities the laws do not oppose desires toward boys." Source: Xenophon, Constitution of the Lacedaemonians, Chapter 2 2. "The Spartan love had nothing shameful in it. If ever an adolescent dared to commit lewd acts with another, it was in no one’s interest for the two to disgrace Sparta; they were either exiled from their homeland or, even worse, lost their lives." Source: Claudius Aelianus, Varia Historia, Book 3. 3. "You may take this matter seriously or as a joke, but you must always remember that when a man unites with a woman to produce a child, the pleasure they feel is entirely natural. Homosexual intercourse, however, is contrary to nature and is committed because men and women cannot restrain their desire for pleasure." Source: Plato, Laws 636c. 4. "If someone appeared to desire the body of the boy, Lycurgus considered this very shameful and legislated that the lovers of the boys should abstain from sexual acts (Aphrodisia) as much as parents abstain from their children and brothers from brothers." Source: Xenophon, Constitution of the Lacedaemonians 2.13.5–14.1. 5. "It was permitted to fall in love with the noble soul of a boy, but to approach boys erotically was something shameful and disgraceful, because in that case they loved the body and not the soul. Whoever was convicted of approaching a boy in a shameful erotic way was punished with lifelong atimia (loss of civic rights)." Source: Plutarch, Ancient Customs of the Spartans, Chapter 7. 6. Solon restricted many practices of society that created an atmosphere of “disorder” (lack of order and organization, but also meaning marital infidelity) and “akolasia” (lack of moral restraint and surrender to pleasures, especially sexual ones). The prohibition of excessive female laments and dirges at funerals of strangers aimed to limit excessive passion, which the ancients identified with the emotional female nature and considered dangerous to the male life that had to be based on reason, calculation, and composure. Plutarch specifically notes in the ancient text that it does not befit men to display excessive passion in mourning (but of course nowhere else either), because it was “unmanly” and “womanish” (something that did not fit the Greek ideal). Source: Plutarch, Solon 21.4. I also cite some words from ancient Greek that carried the etymology of "gay" with a very negative meaning: 1. κίναιδος (kinaidos) = κινεῖν τὴν αἰδῶ = the lewd man, the one who stirs pleasure, the fornicator. The "ai" is a diphthong. The one who stirs shame and disgrace for himself. It is derived from moving the shame (αἰδῶ), or from moving the genitals. 2. ἀνδροβάτης (androbates) = ἀνήρ + βαίνω = the active kinaidos (the active homosexual male). 3. ἀρρενοκοίτης (arrenokoites) = ἄρσην + κοι- (from κεῖμαι, to lie down) + -της = the man who lies with males, who has intercourse with men, homosexual ≈ synonyms: sodomite. 4. καταπύγων (katapygon) = κατα- + πυγ(ή) + -ων = lustful, vulgar, worthless, lewd, kinaidos. In short, what I’m saying is that homosexuality and pederasty were not institutionalized practices in Ancient Greece as many say. Rather, they were seen as morally reproachable and, in many cases, legally marginalized as being "against nature." Why do some "historians" and academics insist that homosexuality and pederasty were normal and institutionalized, even though our primary sources prove the opposite? Isn’t that an agenda? I’ve shown you the proof. Now it’s your decision: you can either learn Greek so you can read the truth for yourself from the original texts, or rely on secondary sources from gay activist academics who are pushing their own agenda.

I don’t understand the controversy here. Yes the woman in the photo looks Greek. There are also many fair skinned light haired Greeks as are both my sons. Homer doesn’t go into enough detail on Helen’s appearance for this to be an actual debate. “White armed” could just as easily mean untanned olive skin as it could mean fair skinned. Definitely doesn’t mean black skin though. Let’s face it the casting in Nolan’s movie is totally revisionist as is the faux-translation he’s based it on. It’s fine, creative liberties and all but it should have been obvious that there would be criticism. Also that it would alienate a large portion of the intended audience. That being said I remember back in the day hating the Brad Pitt casting for Achilles but when I saw the movie his performance was the only thing I liked about it. So we’re going to have to wait and see.

@EBotena1 These are Greeks ... cope harder 😂😂😂

These stories have been made into movies countless times. There’s only so many versions you can make. So now they’re trying the race/gender swapping angle on all the new adaptations. I think that the problem with today’s Hollywood isn’t so much that they are “woke” but a lack of talent to write new great stories. So they try to retell the old ones with a new twist. Just my humble opinion.

Hollywood should stop adapting classic stories if they lack respect for the source material and can’t be faithful to the lore. Nobody wants Woke Odyssey. Nobody wants Woke Harry Potter. Nobody wants Woke Lord of the Rings. What people want is for stories to be respected. If that’s too much to ask for, leave things alone to age gracefully.

@AmirKanyinola38 @HomerPavlos By the same virtue that Mr. Nolan has every right to express himself artistically the people criticizing his choices and “bitching and moaning” also have every right to do so. Please tell me you see the hypocrisy in your reply.

@HomerPavlos It's a movie for pete's sake! Calm down! Its artisitc expression & Mr. Nolan has every right to do what he desires. If ya'll want something more clung to your own beliefs, then make a "film" yourself. If not, then please stop w/ the b*tchin* & moaning already. Goodness!

For those who respect themselves, has now become a goal for Odyssey to fail. Men like Christopher Nolan need to understand that when you bow down to an agenda that poisons social values, we turn our backs on you because in difficult times you proved to be a weak and unworthy man.

@dmitrii_redkin @LeePatekar @KritpoH @BitcoinSapiens Wouldn’t you say that when you’re 38 trillion in debt devaluing your currency gives you a little breathing room?

@LeePatekar @KritpoH @BitcoinSapiens Also Don't forget the BIGGEST in the modern history USD devaluation under Trump! USD has already lost 13% compared to world currencies, and experts expect it to loose another 10% in 2026!

MARCO RUBIO: "We won't have to talk about sanctions in five years because there will be so many countries transacting in currencies other than the Dollar that we won't have the ability to sanction them."

@CTourtellotte If he doesn’t have the discipline to keep his political opinions to himself when dealing with clients he likely doesn’t have the discipline to be a good trainer anyway.

“I support the mansion tax,” my physical trainer said. “But the tax applies to apartment housing,” I replied. “Well l voted the tax, and would again,” he said. Today I told him “our investors pulled out of LA housing due to the tax, and to cut costs, I’m ending your services.”

@DelusionPosting You have to be kidding right?

@Lord_Erikk @runningstrong8 @HomerPavlos Not angry about anyone but totally disappointed in the casting. And yes that includes Mat Damon and Tom Holland.

@runningstrong8 @HomerPavlos Good so you should be angry that Tom Holland and Matt Damon are in the film too.

So, Denzel Washington wants Black people to represent their culture, but when I, as a Greek, want accuracy in movies about Greek history and Homer's Iliad and Odyssey, I’m a bad person and racist. Interesting.

@CollinRugg 😂😂😂

NEW: Breaking Bad star Giancarlo Esposito says it's time for a "revolution," says some people would die, but "the rest of us" would survive. "They can't take us all down. If the whole world showed up... in Washington, they'll kill a 500, 50 million or however..." "But the rest of us would survive... This is the time for a revolution."

@tegsyjack @Simon_Ingari And purposely leaving out compensation so you can try to low ball a dozen applicants and see what sticks isn’t disrespectful? Sounds like you and modern hiring managers need the arrogance kicked out of you. I’m with Gen Z on this one.

@Simon_Ingari Gen Z needs that attitude kicked out of them & fast. You come and interview with me & talk to me like that then the interview would last 5 minutes, 3 minutes of that would be me walking the mouthy little shit out of the building. This is honesty, it’s disrespect!

A Gen Z walked into an interview. Interview started one hour late. HR smiled and said, “Thank you for waiting.” Gen Z replied, “I took time off work to be here. Being late wastes my time.” Silence. During salary discussion, HR shared the offer. Gen Z said, “I stepped away from work for this. This feels low. The salary range should’ve been in the job post.” HR responded, “We don’t post ranges so people don’t apply just for the money.” Gen Z asked, “…What money?” The interview panel froze. A week later, HR followed up, “We’ve decided to move forward with another candidate better suited to our needs.” Gen Z replied, “Wishing you luck finding someone who can tolerate this broken culture.” No drama. No disrespect. Just directness. Gen Z didn’t lose the interview. They just refused to pretend.

USA, you are the laughing stock of the entire world because of your President.
