Beyond Brutality: Reclaiming Female Presence in Bavli Sotah (Brandeis University Press, 2025) draws on feminist analysis and gender studies to examine tractate Sotah of the Babylonian Talmud as a literary unit. By interrogating how, why, and where women are invisible within Bavli Sotah, Jane Kanarek brings to light a ubiquitous female presence throughout the text. Despite the brutality of the sotah ritual—in which the woman accused of adultery is put through a divine ordeal intended to reveal her innocence or her guilt—this book demonstrates that Bavli Sotah is not primarily concerned with describing the sotah ritual or establishing male control over women. Instead, Bavli Sotah becomes a pedagogical text in which the sotah is secondary to moral and sinning men. As the sotah herself fades into the background, the sotah ritual nevertheless overflows its boundaries and weaves its way through a range of other topics within the tractate. In the process, Bavli Sotah teaches its audience who transmits and how one transmits rabbinic culture.

Most people approach The Iliad expecting the Trojan Horse. Instead, they find something darker: a story about wounded pride, uncontrollable rage, brutal violence and the moment vengeance finally gives way to pity.In this review, I break down Samuel Butler's translation of Homer's epic, the feud between Achilles and Agamemnon, Hector's terrifying presence, the petty interference of the gods, the oral tradition behind the poem, and whether a modern reader should actually tackle this ancient monster of a book.00:00 — An Ancient Epic in My Hands00:42 — The Samuel Butler Translation01:03 — Did Homer Actually Write The Iliad?02:23 — What Is an Epic Poem?03:05 — This Is Not the Trojan Horse Story03:40 — Achilles, Hector and the Gods04:53 — How This Edition Structures the Story06:15 — The Core of The Iliad: Rage07:33 — Achilles Loses Everything08:19 — The Gods Are Petty as Hell09:49 — Violence, Nature and Ancient Imagery11:41 — The Sections I Fast-Read13:19 — The Power of Oral Storytelling15:00 — The Brutality of Battle15:43 — Hector Smashes Through the Gates17:29 — No Simple Villains, Only Human Beings18:13 — Honour, Glory and the Heroic Code19:03 — Should You Read The Iliad?19:22 — The Odyssey Review Is Coming Connect with Mere Mortals:Website: https://www.meremortalspodcasts.com/Discord: https://discord.gg/Xs9DjsurFqTwitter/X: https://twitter.com/meremortalspodsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/meremortalspodcasts/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@meremortalspodcastsValue 4 Value Support:Website: https://www.meremortalspodcasts.com/supportPaypal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/meremortalspodcast

Two explosive reports have intensified global outrage over alleged sexual violence in the Israel-Hamas war. One investigation led by Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times journalist Nick Kristof, details testimony from Palestinian prisoners alleging systematic sexual abuse by Israeli security personnel - claims Israel has fiercely denied as “blood libel.” The other, compiled by the Israeli Civil Commission into the October 7 attacks, documents harrowing allegations of sexual violence committed by Hamas, drawing on hundreds of interviews and thousands of photographs. Both reports echo findings from the United Nations - both have triggered furious backlash online and have become battlegrounds in a wider information war, where competing narratives shape what audiences choose to believe. At the heart of the debate is a question of basic human decency and whether atrocities are condemned consistently, regardless of who is accused. Piers Morgan is joined by US-Israeli journalist and commentator, Emily Schrader, former US Navy Seal Rob O'Neill, former IDF soldier and whistleblower Shaiel Ben-Ephraim, The Young Turks host Ana Kasparian, and former special forces commander in the IDF, Doron Kempel to debate. Then, In his first major interview since the failed EBay takeover attempt - CEO of Game Stop Ryan Cohen joins Piers to discuss the future of GameStop, the state of modern capitalism, and why his unconventional approach continues to captivate millions.

Welcome to Manga Monday!This week we're diving into Tenkaichi - The Greatest Warrior Under the Rising Sun, written by Yosuke Nakamaru and illustrated by Kyotaro Azuma, an alternate history martial arts manga that asks one question: what if Oda Nobunaga unified Japan, found out he was dying, and decided the most entertaining way to choose his successor was a sixteen fighter death tournament featuring the greatest warriors in Japanese history?Miyamoto Musashi at sixteen years old. Honda Tadakatsu, the general who never took a wound. A blind swordsman. A kunoichi wielding an oversized fuma shuriken. Every fight is anything goes, death is encouraged, and the art goes so absurdly hard on every single panel that you'll forget to breathe. It's Record of Ragnarok meets Sengoku era Japan, except every fighter actually existed in some form, reimagined here as absolute monsters. An anime adaptation has been announced. If you want beautiful people doing terrible things to each other with historically inspired martial arts, this one delivers.If you enjoy the show, please rate, review, like, and subscribe to Sakura Society | An Anime Appreciation Podcast — and any other podcasts you love.

Soviet Brutality and the Miscalculations of the 2022 InvasionRussian military strategy is characterized by a historical disregard for human life, a trait visible from Stalin's brutal 1932 letters to modern-day missile strikes on civilians. Stalin viewed Ukraine as a "caricature of a parliament" that needed to be broken; Putin holds a similar cynical view. In 2022, Putin's isolation and lack of expert advice led him to believe the invasion would be a brief "policing operation" rather than a war. He expected a parade, sending riot police in dress uniforms, because he fundamentally refused to recognize Ukraine as a real, independent state capable of resisting. Guest: Professor Eugene Finkel.

A Montana senator's push for the Trump ballroom could backfire at the polls. Threats of violence mar present-day politics. Prominent endorsements start to surface as the election gets closer. And a rising Democratic party star is headed to Butte to campaign for a proposed Montana ballot initiative.

We've all probably been incredibly annoyed with our partner at one point or another, and thought (just for a second!) “I could kill them,” then went and made dinner as a perfectly functioning adult. The comedy thriller “Over Your Dead Body” from director Jorma Taccone (“Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping,” “Macgruber”) starring Jason Segel, Samara Weaving as the warring couple, asks what would happen if you didn't let that thought go. What if you actually planned it… and it was a really, really awful plan?And that's what the film is about. It's not about professional killers or brilliant criminals. It's about a couple in a relationship that's on the rocks who think they are clever enough to get away with murder, and almost immediately show that they absolutely are not.What happens next isn't a neat and tidy thriller. It's more like a series of awful choices triggering each other, poorly thought-out plans, and doing things in a panic. The film's style changes as it goes along, beginning as a sharply funny look at a failing relationship, becoming a farcical murder attempt, and then becoming far more chaotic than you'd anticipate.

In a world where mercy comes with a bill, things get interesting fast.
Ali Alizadeh, Iranian political analyst, speaks at Nine Elms, London, at the Palestinian encampment and Shrine to the Minab martyrs - right opposite the US embassy in London. He pays homage to the innocent Minab martyrs - 186 schoolgirls between the ages of 9 and 11, and their teachers - and the people of Iran for their resistance. He condemns the wicked Brutality of the US war criminals. Trump in his despair has unleashed savage destruction. But US imperialism will not succeed in bombing Iran back to the stone age. In his morals and savagery, he shows that in fact US imperialism is living by the brutal pre-civilisation values of the Stone Age. But most of Ali points out that Iran is winning the war: Iran did not start the war; but Iran will be victorious! We are seeing the ejection of US imperialism and its Zionist puppet from the whole of the region. We are seeing the end of Sykes-Picot. We are seeing the end of 500 years of colonialism in the Middle East! Victory to Iran! Subscribe! Donate!

The United States' immigration and deportation machine is brutal, dangerous, and hurts all of us. Listen as Aaron and Damien discuss the piece “The Democrats Will Not Save Us” by Spencer Piston in Inquest, which highlights and analyzes how the immigration and deportation machine in the United States is a bipartisan creation, and as such, has evolved into a deadly apparatus of the government and major element of our carceral system, and what we learn and take away from this incredible piece in our continued learning and unlearning work and fight for collective liberation.Follow us on social media and visit our website!

We find a few similarities to Carbonized, but generally, this band is unique, special, and underappreciated enough that we had to come to their rescue for a little over an hour. Headed by brainiacs Pelle Strom and Rasmus Ekman, Comecon cycled through three different vocalists over three different albums (L.G. Petrov, Martin van Drunen, Marc Grewe), and if you have any interest in death metal with a distinct difference, please give this episode a listen… Note I: Listener challenge!! As mentioned in this episode: if you have a solid working knowledge of Comecon-related bands The Krixhjalters and Omnitron, assemble a 10-song episode, 5 songs each band, about 2 minutes per snippet (you can just send us titles and time codes). We'll do an episode on it! We are sadly ignorant of these bands, but really should know them, given our love of Comecon. ALSO: Enter the Hunt isn't directly related to Comecon, as Jeff surmised. It did feature Pontius, of Krixhjalters, and indeed, two members of Candlemass from our beloved Dactylis Glomerata/From the 13th Sun period. We still have so much to learn. Note II: Speaking of having much to learn: we're not exactly up on the entire vinyl reissue scene, because we didn't know Comecon's Fable Frolic was released with the original logo, as Jeff mentions in this episode. Lookie here! https://www.discogs.com/sell/release/30811545 Note III: Jeff's Voivod book, ‘Always Moving: The Strange Multiverse of Voivod,' is now available.

Garth Heckman The David Alliance TDAgiantSlayer@Gmail.com Bearer of Measured Brutality. Do You YOU, feel like I do! Peter Frampton comes alive… Be the BOMB… The man who would go off. Is it seen in your walk, talk, dress, your command of your kids, your eye contact, your voice, your mental involvement in your kids, your social setting awareness. **Yes, I know exactly what you're referring to.** This comes from a 2017 interview with Jack Reynolds, a convicted child molester from Indiana who served over 12 years in prison for offenses in the 1980s (he claimed more than 300 victims). In the interview—conducted after his release and shared widely in child safety circles—he openly described his victim selection process. One of the first things he assessed was the child's father. His exact words (from the interview footage and transcripts that have circulated): “If I thought the father was a threat, I would not approach the child.” He targeted boys who appeared isolated, from split or unstable families, or who lacked a strong, present father figure. If the dad seemed attentive, involved, capable of confrontation, or simply “in the picture” in a protective way, Reynolds moved on to easier targets. He wanted zero risk of exposure, confrontation, or interference—predators like him operate in secrecy and silence, and a vigilant father raises the stakes dramatically. He scoped out potential victims in everyday places like school grounds, Little League fields, or neighborhoods, and he explicitly looked for vulnerability: no close friends the child would confide in, mothers who might welcome “help” from a friendly outsider (he'd position himself as a “superhero” offering to take the kid for outings), boys with little sexual experience, and families lacking strong values or structure. ### Other insights from this and similar predator accounts This isn't unique to Reynolds—multiple law enforcement interviews with convicted offenders (and research on grooming patterns) show predators treat “father presence” as a high-risk filter. Here are related patterns that consistently come up: - **They prioritize low-resistance targets overall.** Beyond the father, they avoid kids who seem confident, assertive, or likely to speak up immediately. They test boundaries gradually (grooming) and bail if the child resists early or has a tight support network (close friends, involved siblings, or other adults who pay attention). Reynolds himself said he skipped kids “that he would tell” because the risk of the child disclosing was too high. - **Absence or perceived weakness is the real opportunity.** Predators don't necessarily need a completely absent dad—they exploit dads who appear distracted, disengaged, overly trusting, or unwilling/unable to act. The “threat” Reynolds described wasn't just physical size or aggression; it was *perceived capability and willingness* to protect (being present, setting boundaries, staying alert). This is why child-safety experts emphasize that involved, visible fatherhood itself is a deterrent. - **Grooming is calculated, not impulsive.** Reynolds stressed it wasn't random or overnight—it involved scouting, building trust with the family, and exploiting cracks (e.g., a stressed single mom or a lonely kid). Modern versions often use social media for the same low-risk access, which he himself warned about in the interview as giving predators even more tools. - **Broader deterrence themes from other interviews.** Similar accounts (from prison interviews and prevention programs) repeatedly highlight that predators scan for *opportunity + low consequence*. Strong parental involvement (dad *and* mom), clear family rules about strangers/adults, kids who are taught to recognize uncomfortable situations and report them, and communities where adults watch out for each other all shrink the “easy target” pool. Physical fitness or “intimidating” appearance can play a role, but consistent presence and boundaries matter more. The core takeaway from Reynolds' own words (and why clips of this interview keep resurfacing on parenting and men's accounts) is simple: predators are opportunistic and risk-averse. They don't want a fight or attention—they want silence and compliance. A father who is actively engaged, physically and mentally prepared to protect, and visibly part of his kids' lives sends a clear signal: “Not this one.” It's a powerful, evidence-based reason for dads to stay sharp, involved, and unapologetically protective. This interview was shared precisely because Reynolds hoped it would help parents close those windows of vulnerability he once exploited. The Bible portrays fatherhood as a sacred responsibility that includes providing, guiding, disciplining, and actively protecting children—both physically and spiritually. While it does not contain a single verse that says "fathers must be aggressive defenders against predators," it repeatedly emphasizes a father's duty to guard his family from harm, sin, and vulnerability through presence, wisdom, instruction, and spiritual leadership. God Himself is often pictured as the ultimate protective Father, serving as the model. Key Direct Instructions to Fathers Ephesians 6:4 (ESV): "Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord." This verse gives fathers primary responsibility for raising children. "Bring them up" implies nourishing and protecting their growth, while "discipline and instruction" involves training them in God's ways to equip them against moral and spiritual dangers. The warning against provoking anger highlights balanced, non-abusive leadership that builds rather than breaks. Proverbs 22:6: "Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not turn from it." This calls fathers (and parents) to proactively guide children onto a righteous path, which serves as long-term protection from poor choices or harmful influences. Proverbs 13:24: "Whoever spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is diligent to discipline him." Loving discipline is framed as protective care—guiding children away from folly and self-destruction. (This is balanced by calls for compassionate, non-exasperating leadership elsewhere.) God's Example as Protective Father The Bible often compares human fatherhood to God's character: Psalm 103:13: "As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him." A good father shows tender yet strong care, knowing his children's weaknesses and shielding them. Deuteronomy 6:6-7 (instructions to Israel, applied to fathers): "These words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise." Constant, everyday spiritual instruction acts as a hedge of protection. Jesus strongly warns against harming or causing children to stumble: Matthew 18:6: "Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea." This underscores God's fierce concern for children's safety and innocence, implying fathers (as protectors) must guard against those who would exploit or lead them astray. Biblical Examples of Protective Fatherhood Job: He rose early to offer sacrifices for his children, acting as a spiritual "hedge" around them out of awareness of their vulnerability to sin or attack (Job 1:5). This models proactive vigilance. Noah: He obeyed God to build the ark, saving his entire family from destruction (Genesis 6-9). Joseph (earthly father of Jesus): He protected the child Jesus by fleeing to Egypt to escape Herod's threat (Matthew 2:13-15). Broader theme: Fathers in Scripture are called to be providers, leaders, and defenders of the household (e.g., 1 Timothy 5:8 on providing for one's family, or the general principle of headship in Ephesians 5:23). Broader Insights on Protection The Bible ties a father's protective role to: Spiritual warfare and awareness: Being alert to dangers (physical, moral, or demonic) and trusting God while taking action (echoed in passages like Psalm 127 on the Lord watching over the house, or fathers as "watchmen"). Teaching and presence: Deuteronomy 6 and Proverbs emphasize daily involvement—being there, teaching truth, and building character so children are not easy targets for evil. Compassion with strength: Protection is not harsh control but loving guidance that prepares children to stand firm (Proverbs 14:26 links fear of the Lord with confidence and refuge for children). In short, Scripture presents the protective father as one who is present, spiritually vigilant, disciplining with love, instructing in God's ways, and willing to stand against threats to his family's well-being—modeling God's own fatherly care. This aligns with the idea that involved, attentive fatherhood raises the "cost" for anyone seeking to harm or exploit a child. Many Christian teachings on family draw from these principles to encourage dads to be both tender shepherds and strong guardians.

THE BRUTALITY OF INVASION AND THE FAILURE OF INTELLIGENCE Colleague Professor Eugene Finkel. Batchelor and Finkel discuss the historical roots of Russian cruelty in Ukraine, citing a 1932 letter from Stalinfearing the loss of Ukraine. Finkel argues that Russian leadership, from the Tsars to Putin, views human life as cheap and uses violence to maintain control over the land, regardless of casualties. Regarding the 2022 full-scale invasion, Finkel suggests Putin was isolated in an echo chamber of yes-men and myths, expecting a quick policing operation rather than a war. The invasion was driven by the refusal to accept Ukrainian statehood, not legitimate fears of NATO. NUMBER 71920 SOVIET UKRAINE
