#Odysseus blinding the cyclop . Archaeological museum of Eleusis. Αναπαράσταση της τύφλωσης του Κύκλωπα από τον Οδυσσέα και τους συντρόφους του, σε κρατήρα. #Οδυσσεας
Στο ταμείο του Σκλαβενίτη πριν από λίγο.Γιαγιά με το εγγονάκι.Θέλω παγωτό λέει ο μικρός.Δεν έχω του λέει η γιαγιά και ο μικρός σκύβει το κεφάλι.Πήγαινε πάρ�� του λέω μια παγωτάρα, κερνάω εγώ.Σε ευχαριστώ κορίτσι μου.Μην στεναχωριέσαι γιαγιά της λέω αποπληρώσαμε το χρέος νωρίτερα.
73% of women on the titanic survived.
Only 19% of men did.
Read that again.
Even the richest men alive, class, power, status, all useless when the ship started sinking.
Hierarchy collapsed.
Gender didn’t.
“Women and children first”
Not a suggestion.
A rule men didn’t break.
Men stood there.
No panic
No begging.
Just accepted it.
They didn’t ask:
“Do I know her?”
“Is she worth it?”
“Will she remember me?”
No one asked if it was fair.
No camera.
No applause.
No second chances.
Zero return.
Full cost.
Understand this:
When survival gets limited, a man’s life becomes negotiable.
Men like that built the world.
And today?
Masculinity gets mocked.
Call it whatever you want.
But when everything collapsed, men paid first.
This isn’t opinion.
This is history.
Μια συναρπαστική συνέντευξη που πήρε από τον Νόλαν μια Κινέζα (!) podcaster, με βαθιά γνώση της Οδύσειας και του αρχαίου Ελληνικού πολιτισμού, που δείχνει πόσο ρηχός είναι ο Κρίστοφερ Νόλαν.
Η Κινέζα τον ρωτάει γιατί, ενώ ο Όμηρος στα έπη του δοξάζει τον πόλεμο και τους θριάμβους, αυτός θέλει να περάσει ένα αντιπολεμικό μήνυμα - στο οποίο ο Νόλαν απαντά ότι προσπαθεί να βάλει "τη ματιά του θεατή" στην ταινία.
Τον ρωτάει γιατί εκχριστιανίζει την Οδύσσεια του Ομήρου. Εκείνος λέει ότι δεν το έχει σκεφτεί πραγματικά, αλλά η παραβίαση των νόμων του Δία του φάνηκε μια ενδιαφέρουσα πτυχή.
Τον ρωτάει γιατί οι δυτικοί κινηματογραφιστές νιώθουν ότι πρέπει να ζητήσουν συγγνώμη που απεικονίζουν το μεγαλείο. Εκείνος λέει ότι πρέπει να βάλουμε το μεγαλείο στο πλαίσιο του τώρα, επειδή πιστεύουμε στην ισότητα και στις δημοκρατικές αξίες.
Τον ρωτάει αν οι θεοί είναι πραγματικοί στην ταινία του και εκείνος λέει ότι φαίνονται πραγματικοί σε ανθρώπους που πιστεύουν σε αυτούς.
Είναι πραγματικά απίστευτο πόσο λίγο φαίνεται να έχει σκεφτεί κάτι από αυτά. Κάθε φορά που μιλάει, προσπαθεί να χλευάσει κάθε συντηρητική φωνή, προσπαθώντας να μας πει ότι η ταινία του έχει κάποιο είδος κρυφών πανανθρώπινων μηνυμάτων ή να είναι οτιδήποτε άλλο εκτός από μια Χολιγουντιανή υπερπαραγωγή.
Όσο για τους κριτικούς κινηματογράφου και "επαγγελματίες δημοσιογράφους" που χαριεντίζονται μαζί του χασκογελώντας στις συνεντεύξεις μαζί του, λέει πολλά ότι το μόνο άτομο που ήταν πρόθυμο να του κάνει τέτοιες βαθιές ερωτήσεις ήταν μια Κινέζα podcaster. Είναι απολαυστική.

🚨WOW!!!
A 77-year-old Florida man staged a one-man protest against a Flock camera, blocking it's view by holding a 12-foot POOL SKIMMER against it.
He was caught on camera being interrogated by police and a man driving by says, "What's your name? I'll bail you out!"
Then multiple strangers showed up and brought him cold drinks, an umbrella for shade, and even snacks.
When asked why he was doing this, the 77-year-old said:
“I have a constitutional right to my privacy. I’m a law-abiding citizen, and I don’t need anyone sticking their nose in my business. And if they do, I’m going to chop it off.”
🚨China Just Made a 582 TONNE Fusion-Energy Breakthrough!
China’s just completed a 582 tonne toroidal field superconducting magnet, it is now the largest superconducting magnet ever constructed for a fusion reactor.
Developed by the Institute of Plasma Physics under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the magnet has officially passed expert review and represents one of the most significant milestones yet in humanity’s pursuit of controlled nuclear fusion.
Video from As Suqaylbya today: protesters demand the release of Elias Jabour and Raef Shihadeh, whom they describe as heroes for defending the Antiochian Greek women of the town from a mob that was allegedly sexually harassing them. They stood to defend their mothers, sisters, faith, and community. Their message is clear: free the detainees and hold the perpetrators accountable.
Monk Joseph waves the Byzantine flag to welcome Greek military jets flying overhead.
Monk Joseph of Mount Athos stands atop a cliff, proudly waving a massive Byzantine flag as Greek fighter jets soar overhead in a striking tribute to both the revered monk and Greece’s deep Orthodox Christian heritage.
Adding to the symbolism, the Hellenic Air Force adorned the undersides of its Mirage 2000 fighter jets with colorful icons of patron saints. The result is a remarkable image that captures the meeting of modern military aviation and centuries-old religious tradition.
Nolan's Odyssey lacks any sexuality whatsoever. Very sterile interaction between Matt Damon and Samantha Morton's Circe. Still nothing tops The Odyssey 97 and my favorite depiction of Circe.
Bernadette Peters is wildly fun to watch as she raises the stakes with Odysseus, loving the fact that her spell didn't work on him. She's got other tricks up her sleeve (or maybe up her peplos).
I appreciate the fact that Armand Assante's Odysseus has like -2 hesitation when he has to sleep with her. "Don't have to ask me twice. Of course, I am doing this for my men."

JUST IN: 🇺🇸🇹🇷 U.S. deals major blow to Turkey's F-35 dreams
The United States has officially confirmed that Turkey cannot rejoin the F-35 stealth fighter program, with the State Department informing Congress that Ankara fails to meet the legal requirements for readmission.
The decision keeps Turkey locked out of the world's premier fifth generation fighter jet program, extending one of the biggest rifts in U.S. Turkey defense ties since Ankara's acquisition of the Russian S-400 air defense system.
Turkey's path back to the F-35 remains effectively blocked, and its fifth generation fighter ambitions face another major setback.
This is how the Christian majority in Lebanon came to an end.
“Lebanon was the only Christian country in the Middle East, and also the only one to accept Palestinian refugees.
Lebanon had an open border policy. We wanted to share our knowledge with our Muslim neighbors. But when they became the majority, they started slaughtering the Christians who welcomed them.”
Pay close attention!
