[Homer Pavlos @HomerPavlos]

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.

@TheCriticalDri2 If you are in a cultural high point, you trailblaze.
Current western culture is at a low point, it's shit. So you try to be associated with something great to give yourself higher status by proximity. In reality you are smearing your shit over something good expecting accolades.

Ukrainian special forces reportedly carried out a precise and extraordinary operation in the very heart of occupied Crimea.
A meeting of top officers of the Black Sea Fleet was allegedly blown up in Sevastopol. According to preliminary reports, an important high-level command meeting was taking place at the site — involving officers who directly coordinated Kalibr missile strikes on Ukrainian cities. The headquarters that had directed missiles at homes, schools, and hospitals for years was reportedly destroyed.
Sources claim this was the work of a unit of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of Ukraine known as the “Madyar Wolves,” under the personal command of Serhii Mahera. The fighters allegedly infiltrated a deeply rear, well-protected facility, planted powerful charges, and detonated them precisely during the meeting.
The explosion was reportedly so powerful that almost nothing of the headquarters remained. According to unconfirmed reports, several admirals and senior officers of the Black Sea Fleet were among those killed.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden began his visit to Ukraine by honoring our fallen warriors together with me. We are deeply grateful for this gesture of respect.

The memory of each and every one of them is very important to us – the defenders of Ukraine who fought against Russian aggression. They fought not only for our country, but also for the protection of all of Europe, so that Russian madness and killing would not spread further.

Eternal memory to our fallen heroes!

@BaldingsWorld What the NATO is, is clearly defined. It is probably not what you imagined in your head though.

[Tok @Maytrows]

Thank you for letting us know that that you hold a widely shared retarded sentiment. Get well soon!

[Peter Meijer @PeterMeijer]

It would behoove our NATO allies to appreciate that this sentiment is *very* widely shared, including amongst erstwhile boosters of trans-Atlantic relations.

Rename it to Crook of Hormuz in Trump's honor?

[Wasson Watch Co. @WassonWatch]

I have been silent about this for a long time, but I can no longer keep quiet about it in good conscience.

The "Strait" of Hormuz isn't straight at all. It's super crooked. You can see in the helpful graphic I put together below.

The elites don't want you to know this.

This is how I keep the training up to date.

Training with some of the most experienced sappers in the world is very different from basic courses, but I have a working concept.

First of all, spend an entire day with lots of mines on the table, lots of coffee, and just talk. Share experiences, learn about problems, and brainstorm solutions. What are the Russians dropping on your guys now? What are you dropping on them?

After that, using that day as a base, prepare and execute practical training scenarios where we train specifically for the situation at hand.

It is a privilege, but also a necessary prerequisite to do these sessions, and I am grateful for having such awesome friends. Friendship and trust that took years to build, forged through hard work.

Picture: Training with Kraken sappers and Azov sappers this winter.

Is this something that might give a indication on the Swedish choice or just noise?

[Naval Group @navalgroup]

Naval Group and leading Swedish shipyard Oresund Drydocks AB, have signed a MoU for a Partnership Cooperation Agreement, on February 2, 2026, during the stopover of the FDI Amiral Ronarc'h in Sweden.
This partnership aims to develop a local frigate maintenance facility in Sweden.

@Ride_fixer @Existenzse Högst spekulativt men kan vara så att han lämnades över till den lokala polisen som släppte han, det har förekommit att lediga poliser deltagit i blåljus-sabotage-verksamheten mot ICE så antisympatier finns. Pretti kände nog poliser genom jobbet eller aktivismen.
