@TimjboAU Has Australia ever had a more opaque or authoritarian government?

[Krem8r 🇦🇺 🥓 🐶 @Hroethbert]

@JEChalmers On the contrary the only people that have announced a willingness to reduce peoples super-annuation funds are you blokes. Either unknowing or deceitful. Probably both.

@LangmanVince Because three men are trying to explain to nine women that killing children is indeed a bad thing.

@SydneyLWatson It is within my memory that we could go to sleep in our houses with windows open and doors unlocked - and it was not that long ago.

@AorBlake Why is the GG in that photo? Is she part of the Labor team then?

"A guy looked at my airplane the other day and said I wonder how many people I could have fed for the price of that airplane...

I replied I am not sure, it fed a lot of families at the Dassault factory where it was built. I’m sure it fed a bunch of families that rolled the aluminum at the Alcoa factory. It surely fed a lot of people at the Honeywell factory where the experts built the turbines. It fed a whole company for a few weeks when I had them build me a new interior. It feeds the families of the linemen that fuel it.

That’s the difference between capitalism and a welfare mentality. When you buy something, you put money in people's pockets, and give them dignity for their skills.

When you give someone something for nothing, you rob them of their dignity and self worth.

Capitalism is freely giving your money in exchange for something of value.

Socialism is taking your money against your will and shoving something down your throat that you never asked for."

[Herod Priovolos @herodpriovolos]

Dear Christopher Nolan,
My name is Herod Priovolos and I want to tell you what #TheOdyssey truly means to me and to generations of Greeks who grew up with Homer’s story.
Homer did not sing of Odysseus simply to entertain us with ships, storms, gods and monsters. He told the story because he understood what war, time, distance and loss can do to the human soul.
Odysseus leaves Ithaca as a king, a husband and a father. He returns twenty years later alone, exhausted and disguised as a beggar, carrying the memory of every companion who never made it home.
The monsters are not merely creatures created for spectacle.
The Cyclops is power without justice. The Sirens are the beautiful voices that tempt a person to abandon their purpose. Circe represents the danger of losing our humanity. Calypso offers Odysseus immortality, but even eternal life becomes a prison when the price is forgetting his wife, his son, his homeland and his own identity.
And Ithaca is not merely an island.
Ithaca is the place that remembers you when the world no longer recognizes your face. It is the home that remains alive inside you after everything else has been taken away. It is Penelope growing older while she waits. It is Telemachus becoming a man without his father. It is Argos surviving long enough to recognize his master one final time.
Odysseus is not great simply because he defeats monsters. He is great because he is proud, frightened, wounded, clever, imperfect and deeply human. He loses his companions, his youth, his name and twenty years of his life, yet he refuses to forget who he is.
When he finally returns, Penelope does not recognize him through strength, glory or appearance. She tests him. Odysseus proves his identity by remembering the bed they built together around the roots of a living olive tree.
That is the heart of The Odyssey.
Not the battles.
Not the ships.
Not the monsters.
Two people standing before each other after twenty years, asking whether love, memory and identity can survive everything time has done to them.
That is why this poem has survived for almost 3,000 years. Every human being is trying to return to something: a home, a person, a lost part of themselves, or the life they had before the world changed them.
So use Homer’s seas, gods, heroes and monsters. But please understand what you are touching.
The Odyssey was never truly about how far a man could travel.
It was about how much the world could take from him before he stopped being himself, and whether, after losing almost everything, he could still find his way home.

@L_AWalker @ClareONeilMP Yes, her brief was to lie and gaslight.

[Krem8r 🇦🇺 🥓 🐶 @Hroethbert]

@damoncbanks @ymangram @KwikWarren Zeus seduced Helen's mother, the mortal Leda, by transforming himself into a swan. Leda later laid eggs from which Helen hatched. Because her father was a god, Helen was considered semi-divine, which partly explained her legendary beauty. Here endeth the lesson.

@GreaterIran92 Trouble for you is that the movie 300 was based on a comic. This is tiresome, try at least reading a precis of Odyssey before commenting.

[Krem8r 🇦🇺 🥓 🐶 @Hroethbert]

@ChickCoreaaa @americanfrens @Trans_Lykeia Effed if I know how you get racism out of quoting the book. Sorry that your reality doesn't match your delusional.

[Krem8r 🇦🇺 🥓 🐶 @Hroethbert]

@thescottbarber Oh, I get it, it's a dad joke.

[Krem8r 🇦🇺 🥓 🐶 @Hroethbert]

@AksileAmichi @thescottbarber Did you mean to post something? Because I think you forgot to. What you did post looks like one of my random living history pics from any event over twenty years ago.

[Krem8r 🇦🇺 🥓 🐶 @Hroethbert]

@JaneCaro Groan, the 'left' is entirely self serving that is why they destroy every project they undertake, they are unable to see beyond themselves.

[Krem8r 🇦🇺 🥓 🐶 @Hroethbert]

@ChickCoreaaa @americanfrens @Trans_Lykeia Helen's father was Zuess, her mother was a Spartan. There is no bridge here between ancient and 'modern' storytelling by casting her as a sub saharan.

@SteveHislop4 @elonmusk N1 launch failures resulted primarily from pogo oscillations tearing plumbing, fragile feed lines for its 30 engines, turbopump explosions, and untested plume interactions rather than engines sucking each other together.

[Krem8r 🇦🇺 🥓 🐶 @Hroethbert]

@ymangram @KwikWarren Her ethnicity was not left ambiguous on purpose, it wasn't ambiguous at all, FFS, she was a daughter of Zeus her mother was a Spartan. How you FW's get a sub-saharan out of that explicit description is mind boggling.
