when I leave the airport lounge to go to my gate and it turns out the flight is delayed
another Odyssey point: I think the film's own themes would have been reinforced by more emphasis on *sexual* violence committed by the Greeks, which we only really see referenced in the scene with Circe. This is something very hard to do well but which has plenty of classical reference points.
Like, I totally see the idea of saying that the MENA plus Europe equals a "post-Roman" world. That makes perfect sense. The problem is that people take this distinction between "European" and "Oriental" that's actually just a racialization of "Christian" vs "Muslims", and try to apply it to Jews.
DOD CIO Kirsten Davies is at Black Hat talking about, among other things, the Pentagon's decision to pause phase 2 of CMMC, which would have required third-party assessments of defense contractors' cybersecurity starting this fall.
I have a good mapping to prove otherwise.
deadbury@dreadbury.bsky.social · last mo.You being ridiculed for being obstinately wrong is not a conspiracy.
he is married to an avid Trump supporter and is notorious for having passed confidential information back and forth over the partisan divide his entire career. this is like Aldrich Ames threatening to quit the CIA.
Rory Blank@roryblank.bsky.social · last mo.Man it's so funny when James Carville threatens to leave the Democratic party, like oh no, now the party might have candidates who are actually popular with their constituents and have popular policy positions and win elections what are we going to do noooo don't
“It is difficult to tell the difference between an al-Qaeda that is stealthily rebuilding and an al-Qaeda that is dead,” @gcaw.bsky.social writes. He explores where the terrorist organization stands, 25 years after 9/11:
Did al-Qaeda Succeed?
Twenty-five years after 9/11, analysts can’t decide whether the terrorist organization got what it wanted.

Protestantism of today is not what it used to be back in the 16th century. And I do object to her mischaracterization and misappropriation of what she mentioned. Hope to have my position known, if it was ever in doubt.
Crown Prince Thutmose@thutmose.bsky.social · last mo.Interesting hypothesis. Seems like you may be protesting for the sake of opposition. Do you not agree that protesting is a form of objection?
He's a ruski living in Finland...you can't expect anything better from him.

Bluesky does not have the same proportion of antisemitism as Twitter, do not be ridiculous, I am quite qualified to judge this roughly at least
It’s Giles, he’s a Bulwark Republican, it’s Arizona, and her opponent is Andy Biggs. It’s fine. bsky.app/profile/dmnd...
Jeremy Diamond ☕️@dmnd.me · last mo.Was about to get mad at this but then realized this Arizona-specific stuff and Giles is basically a Bulwark Republican, so it’s fine. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/04/u...
This place has become as exhaustingly stupid as X
@dg1961.bsky.social · last mo.Tom always there with a little hint of tacit approval for any Republican YOU dare to criticize.
It is actually impressive how insane of a statement this is.

It's not really lucky, it's the other way around. Important Waterways probably generate states next to them. Someone would have grown up there because just look at it. The precursor to the precursor to the precursor of Iran was that, and then the world discovered oil
Wallet Inspector MetaBlueSky ♨️@metabluesky.bsky.social · last mo.Neither are, Iran just lucked into a place where it's got the entire world by the economic short hairs and has managed to not fuck up a sure thing when they had it. Even a completely irrational regime can hit a golden streak sometimes. Happened to the losing side of WWII for a while, after all.
Here comes the whiny little dog...who couldn't prove anything, hitting the same note to feign his victim card.
deadbury@dreadbury.bsky.social · last mo.Shocked to discover the British bigot fabricating El-Sayed quotes is also a raging misogynist.
I seem to have lost your marbles; this is what the original CAIR point was about drawing parallels, and in no way did I mention all said being funded by them. bsky.app/profile/frac...
deadbury@dreadbury.bsky.social · last mo.Again, none of this is related to El-Sayed being "funded" by CAIR, which was your original claim.
I seem to have glitched this guy's system. Can't seem to recall what he's in about.
deadbury@dreadbury.bsky.social · last mo.Again, none of this is related to El-Sayed being "funded" by CAIR, which was your original claim.
I do think you understood every point about it...but you chose not to, for unverified reasons.
deadbury@dreadbury.bsky.social · last mo.You gotta rewrite this in comprehensible English, homie.
If it quacks like a duck, acts like a duck, and behaves like a duck... it is a duck. "Trying to buy a politician(schumar) who's going to do their(israel's) bidding instead of yours,".
deadbury@dreadbury.bsky.social · last mo.Which one? Where's the transcript? You understand that the duty of proof falls on the person making the claim, right? I can't say "You literally said 'I fuck dogs.'" and then refuse to show you where I'm getting that quote from. That's not how this works.
