There was nothing "brillant" about it & definitely ZERO nuance in this episode. Ep3 was basically a huge virtue signal about "black oppression" from a middle class black wahmen who has a nice house, a job, 3 healthy children & a loving husband BUT she still has to lecture to an Alien about "RACISM" cause that's what happens when you hire woke writers
Reminder that 'LANTERNS' Episode 3 is written by the incredible Vanessa Baden Kelly. She infused this episode will brilliant nuance around legacy, modern racial dynamics, and destiny. The character development she builds in a single episode is outstanding.

The number one reason not to watch The Odyssey is that the next time you pick up the books, you risk your subconscious conjuring up images from the film to associate them with the scenes and characters.

In the 1988 Batman comics, the Joker meets the Ayatollah and they hit it off.
The Joker is then appointed as the Islamic Republic’s UN ambassador.

Historian @NFergus pushes back on the left’s reflexive anti-interventionism—including in Iran today:
“You have to recognize that American intervention has very often been a force for good—and it would clearly be a force for good if it could overthrow the dictator Khamenei and his murderous, Islamofascist regime.”

Historian @NFergus: Mass protests in Iran have been accelerated by the regime’s “disastrous foreign-policy reversals” over the past year.
“The regime is in trouble because it so misplayed its foreign policy hand—not only backing Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad to launch the October 7 attacks against Israel, but then proving itself incapable of inflicting serious damage on Israel with its direct air offensive. Worse still, then suffering pretty disastrous attacks in the Twelve Day War with Israel, in which the Israelis found they could get past Iran’s air-defense systems.
“And it culminated last summer with the bombing of Fordo by U.S. B-2 stealth bombers.”

Historian @NFergus argues the U.S. should finish the job in Iran.
“Get rid of the theocracy…It would be, without question, a benefit to ordinary Iranians; it would be a benefit to the region as a whole—and indeed the world—to remove this evil regime from the face of the earth. Let's do it.”

Because you could be carrying novel mutations that defines the next stage of human evolution, but only if it gets passed on. Kinda the whole point of reproduction? Imagine if the founding member of the ancestral hominids carrying the then-newly birthed ARHGAP11B didn’t have kids.

The problem with Palestine is that it's so unrealistically evil that people simply don't believe it.
HORRIFYING: The family of former hostage Noa Marciano, z"l, revealed that they were sent a video of their daughter being executed by a doctor in a Gazan hospital.
Her father still wakes up from nightmares about the video.
The doctor injected air into her veins.
Noa was murdered so that Hamas could lie about her being killed in an Israeli airstrike.
May her memory be a blessing 💔

Christianity did not collapse the West directly. It reprogrammed us to be incapable of survival by:
• universalizing guilt
• moralizing weakness
• teaching enemy-love
• demonizing hierarchy
• sacralizing the oppressed
• institutionalizing ressentiment
• decoupling morality from nature
• declaring natural instincts sinful
• encouraging indiscriminate altruism
• dismantling aristocratic virtue ethics
Christianity is the greatest existential threat to mankind. If Christian ethics are not overturned, a global mass extinction event is guaranteed.
Stop the madness.
End Christianity.

Philosophy is only awful when the term is misnomer for dreck such as metaphysics and soliciting agreement rather than per the 2,500+ year old translation: respect for wisdom

I genuinely want you to ask yourself where the idea that self defense is bad came from EXCEPT FOR Christianity.
Literally no other significant Philosopher except Christ ever expressed such an idea.
No english, french, german, or greek ever expressed such an idea.
Hate-shaming is life-shaming.
Hate is the correct response when someone threatens you, your loved ones, or your polis.
To shame hate is to shame self-defense—in short, Christianity.

The exact kind of basic research this Administration would have cut without hesitation.
Breakthroughs like this happen only if we choose to fund science even if the outcome is impossible to see at the start.
