“I want someone who has regrets. I want someone who's learned the hard way. I want someone who understands that life is made of those messy compromises.” — Joel Christensen on the Odysseus he hopes to see in Matt Damon Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey is out — the controversial movie of the year, much of the controversy raging before anyone had seen a frame. So, before either of us had seen the epic, I talked to the CUNY classicist Joel Christensen, author of the timely Why Odysseus? Survivor, Scoundrel, (Anti)hero. What, I asked Christensen, did he most dread about Hollywood's treatment of his beloved Odyssey? His answer: a hero too noble to be interesting. The Odysseus of the epic is a survivor, a scoundrel, an antihero — the master sergeant who does what needs to be done, from engineering the Trojan Horse to making sure Hector's infant son doesn't survive it. Christensen's worry about Matt Damon came down to one word: too likeable. What he wanted instead was a man with regrets — De Niro in Raging Bull rather than anybody noble. So did Christensen get the Odysseus he wanted? Below is his review, written after seeing the film when it came out. Postscript: Joel Christensen's Verdict on the Film Nolan's Odyssey is not Homer's Odyssey. This should be clear to anyone. Nolan faced an almost impossible task well: ancient audiences knew the story already. Modern audiences do not, so he created a ring structure with the beginning union of Penelope and Odysseus anticipating the reunion at the end, also introducing plot elements like the dog Argos and the pin by which Penelope will recognize Odysseus. The film is not Homer. Homer's power is poetry; the film's is image. Some of the images are striking: the scene when Circe turns his men into animals is the most arresting in the whole movie, showing everything that can be done with visceral imagery and a slight adaptation (Circe here is a survivor of sexual assault). The changes made to the plot such as omitting the Phaeacians, Nestor, Laertes, the bed and more are not as jarring as some of the general decisions. Calling “Zeus' Law” “do unto others…” makes an understandable translation to a Christian context, but it is somewhat nonsensical for Homer. Depicting a mutilated Helen is a strange decision that I am struggling with. What the movie gets right is making humans responsible for their own suffering. In a novel take on Odysseus as a traumatized warrior, the hero spends seven years with Calypso eating Lotus to forget the loss of his men. Damon, too likeable, regrets the trick of the Trojan Horse after witnessing the slaughter during the sack of Troy. We find out as well that the “sea people” from history, bringing an end to the “civilization” are actually the Greeks returning from the Trojan War and suffering for the transgressions they committed there. Is this ending an echo of Zeus' plan to end the race of heroes in the Trojan War? Is it an allegory for our civilizational collapse in the future thanks to technology, environmental catastrophe, and fascism? Any potential social critique dissipates with the movie's end. The traumatized veteran turns out to be merciful and kills only some of the suitors, showing many mercy. Then, guilty of violating “Zeus' Law”, Odysseus happily goes into exile with Penelope, leaving Telemachus to be king. There's no way to make Homer's Odyssey into a film and convey all its ambiguity and depth. That would be an unfair expectation. Nolan's film is a compelling spectacle and it makes me wonder more about how it reflects who we are as an audience. Do we need the hero to be ultimately good, even if he messed up? Are we so simple that we need to hear about Zeus' Law and the Sea People so repetitively? I fear that in this age where fiction and fact are so hard to disentangle, that we long for narratives that are just simpler. We don't get the Odyssey we want; we get the one we deserve. Five Takeaways •       A Complicated Man: The Translation Problem. Every word of Homer carries echoes no English can hold, and the fights over Nolan's dialogue replay the fights over translation. Emily Wilson detonated a controversy by rendering polytropos — poly, many; tropos, turn — as “a complicated man,” alluding at once to Odysseus's travels and the many forms of his character; Daniel Mendelsohn's “man of roundabout ways” does the work too, if you can stop thinking about rotaries. Even the objection to Tom Holland's Telemachus saying “dad” collapses on inspection: Telemachus uses the colloquial form in Homer. And the “authentic” dialect purists want was an artificial amalgam that no ancient Greek ever spoke. •       The Culture Wars Come for Homer. Nobody remembers a brouhaha over Wolfgang Petersen's Troy — a pretty bad movie, Christensen notes — but Nolan's Odyssey generates more controversy than a scholar can track daily. Lupita Nyong'o's Helen is attacked as inauthentic by one side and as cultural appropriation by the other; since 2015, classicists have watched the Western tradition weaponized by the alt-right while their own field argues about who owns it. Christensen's advice channels the epic itself: between Scylla and Charybdis, take Scylla. You'll lose six men. The alternative is losing the ship — and if the story doesn't persuade in three hours, nobody will remember the armor anyway. •       The Valence of Violence. Modern audiences are more accustomed to represented violence than any in history — you don't need Natural Born Killers when Twitter serves unverifiable clips from Gaza and Iran. The question Christensen brings to the film is what the violence is for. Uberto Pasolini's The Return gave Ralph Fiennes's Odysseus a steady, untroubled thump of arrows; the epic's own slaughter of the suitors, read closely, approaches Tarantino-adjacent parody. And the hardest tests are the atrocities the adaptations always cut: the mutilation of the goatherd Melanthius, and Telemachus hanging the enslaved women. Does the violence glorify the hero — or show what even the best of us are capable of? •       Keep Penelope Ambiguous. The great interpretive question of the Odyssey is when Penelope knows the beggar is her husband — the suitors, dead in the underworld, are convinced she was in on it all along. The epic grants her remarkable intelligence and agency, then reins it in: Agamemnon's ghost praises her by way of insulting all women, and she vanishes from the text. Christensen's advice to Nolan wouldn't be Margaret Atwood's Penelopiad, which centers the women's voices; it would be more screen time and total ambiguity — no access to her mind, a wife who matches her husband in wits and may even have outwitted him. Though based on Nolan's arc, he doubts we'll get a woman at the center. •       Survivor, Scoundrel, (Anti)hero. Christensen's worry about Matt Damon was simple: too likable. Odysseus is the master sergeant — the one who takes the hard orders, tricks Achilles into the war, engineers the Horse, and makes sure Hector's infant son doesn't survive to rebuild Troy. The ancient hero is neither good nor ...

Right now, in Ohio and almost everywhere else, you can watch a child deteriorate in front of you for years — notice everything, suspect everything — and owe nothing. No call. No report. No consequence. Good Samaritan laws protect you if you step up; nothing touches you if you don't. Tony and Robin go live on whether that free pass survives the Siders case.The live conversation runs the argument both directions with the chat weighing in. One side: attaching legal duty to ordinary citizens turns neighborhoods into informant networks, punishes people for judgment calls, and buries hotlines in noise. The other side: sixteen children spent eighteen years surrounded by people who noticed — the store clerk with years of detailed memories, the town that saw the family everywhere — and every one of them was legally entitled to do nothing, so they did.The Dollar General scenario goes to the audience directly: same line, same family, same off-looking kids, month after month. Real answer — do you call? The gap between what the chat says and what the research says people actually do becomes the whole point of the night.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The conversation about the reconstructed T206 Honus Wagner takes an unexpected turn. What begins as a debate over one controversial card quickly becomes a broader discussion about grading company transparency, authentication standards, and whether collectors are receiving enough information to make informed buying decisions. Jeremy Lee is joined by David Chase, Joe Poirot, and Josh Adams as they debate whether the famous "FrankenWagner" should really be considered authentic, restored, rebuilt, or something entirely different. More importantly, they ask whether grading companies owe collectors far more transparency than they're currently providing. In this episode: The FrankenWagner debate continues Should grading companies disclose more information? Why "Authentic" may not be enough QR codes, restoration reports, and collector transparency Are grading companies following their own standards? Restoration vs. reconstruction Can collectors truly trust the label? The future of grading and authentication This conversation goes beyond one famous card and explores what collectors should reasonably expect from the companies entrusted to authenticate the hobby's most valuable collectibles.

Picture two stylists. One is a money machine, hitting every metric, booked solid, making multiple 6-figures. The other is producing 30% of that revenue but mentoring newer team members, showing up on time, taking great photos, and supporting the salon's culture in every way possible. Now ask yourself honestly: who is your current system set up to reward? If your salon's promotional path is built primarily around revenue-based KPIs, chances are stylist number one wins every time, no matter how much damage they're doing to your culture. And that model, which worked just fine 10 and 20 years ago, is collapsing fast right now. In this episode, I'm breaking down exactly why the traditional salon promotion structure is broken, the specific flaws in the old model that are quietly costing you your best people, and what we do differently in Thriving Leadership to fix it for good.

# You Deserve Gentle Thoughts ## Summary Today we're exploring the idea of gentle thoughts — the inner voice we carry with us every day, and how much it matters. You'll learn why our inner critic isn't serving us, how to notice the quality of our self-talk, and why we deserve the same kindness we'd give to someone we love. This is your reminder that you don't have to earn gentleness. You already deserve it. ## Affirmations - I am allowed to think gently about myself. I am allowed to be a work in progress and still deserve kindness. - I release the need to be perfect. I embrace who I am right now, exactly as I am. - I am not my worst moment. I am not the story I tell myself when I'm being hard on myself. I am so much more than that. - I choose to be patient with myself today. I choose to speak to myself the way I would speak to someone I love. - I let go of what I cannot control. I focus on what I can. And what I can control right now is how I treat myself. - I am worthy of gentleness. Not because of what I do. Not because of how I look. Not because of what I achieve. Just because I exist. Just because I'm here. - I release comparison. I release judgment. I release the need to measure up to some impossible standard. I am exactly where I am. And that is enough. ## Timestamps [00:00] Opening — Welcome and breath [01:03] Settling In — Acknowledging life's weight [03:02] The Theme — The case for gentle thoughts [06:18] Breathwork — Calming the nervous system [08:11] Affirmations — Retraining your inner voice [10:32] Closing — One gentle thought at a time ## Tags #gentlethoughts #selfcompassion #selfkindness #innerpeace #mindfulness #mentalhealth #selfcare #positivethinking #you DeserveIt #letgo #selfacceptance #gentleness #affirmations #yourquietmomentDISCLAIMER

# You Deserve Compassion ## Summary Today we explore a pattern most of us fall into — being much harder on ourselves than we'd ever be on a friend. You don't have to earn compassion. It's not a reward for perfection. It's your birthright, right now, exactly as you are. This episode offers breathwork, affirmations, and a gentle reminder that your mistakes don't define your worth. ## Affirmations - I am allowed to be imperfect and still deserve kindness. - I treat myself with the same compassion I would offer a close friend. - My mistakes do not define my worth. - I am allowed to let go of shame and choose something gentler. - I deserve compassion, not because I earned it, but because I am human. ## Timestamps [00:00] Opening — breath and arrival [00:33] Settling In — welcome and intention [01:30] The Theme — you are more than your mistakes [04:05] Breathwork — 4-2-6 breathing pattern [05:30] Affirmations — five reminders for self-compassion [06:50] Closing — become your own kind friend ## Suggested Themes #YouDeserveCompassion #SelfCompassion #BeKindToYourself #MistakesDontDefineYou #ForgiveYourself #GentleWithYourself #SelfWorth #Breathwork #Mindfulness #QuietMoment #Relaxation --- Your Quiet Moment — Encouragement 24/7 Podcast A gentle space for your peace.DISCLAIMER

Embarrassment. Frustration. Unanswered questions. For many people living with bladder or bowel conditions, these feelings can become just as challenging as the symptoms themselves.In this episode of Life Without Leaks, we're joined by board-certified urogynecologist Dr. Jannah Thompson and patient advocate Morgon for an honest and inspiring conversation about navigating the healthcare journey. Morgon shares his deeply personal story, from developing debilitating bladder symptoms as a young U.S. Marine to years of searching for answers, learning to advocate for himself, and ultimately finding treatments that transformed his life.Together, they discuss why so many people delay seeking care, how to communicate more effectively with your healthcare provider, the importance of asking questions, and why finding the right physician can make all the difference. They also explore today's treatment options and explain why no one should feel they have to suffer in silence.Whether you're living with bladder or bowel symptoms yourself, caring for someone who is, or simply looking to make the most of your next doctor's appointment, this episode offers practical advice, encouragement, and a powerful reminder that your voice matters.In this episode, you'll learn: Why honest communication is the foundation of effective treatment.  How to prepare for a more productive doctor's appointment.  When it's time to seek a second opinion or specialist.  What neuromodulation is and how it can help some patients.  Why self-advocacy is one of the most important tools in your healthcare journey. Because the first step toward getting better is making yourself heard.To learn more about Dr. Thompson, click here.For more information about the National Association for Continence, click here, and be sure to follow us on Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest.MusicRainbows Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

You were told to wait your turn. Be patient, keep your head down, and eventually it'll be your time. Here's the problem: the person who got promoted last quarter didn't wait for anything....In this episode, Marie breaks down why "wait your turn" is one of the most dangerous pieces of advice a woman in a predominantly male industry can follow — and why time in your seat only makes you eligible, never chosen.Key takeaways:Time in your position makes you eligible. Being chosen is a completely different decision your boss makes about risk — and eligibility alone doesn't win it.Waiting doesn't remove workplace bias against ambitious women — it just delays the moment you have to face it.Your boss sees a fraction of your work. If you're not making your impact visible, "wait your turn" quietly becomes "wait forever."Four shifts to make instead of waiting: from waiting → asking, time served → building a case, hoping to be noticed → being known, and fair → strategic.You're allowed to want the next seat, ask for it, and build your case before anyone tells you it's your turn.Resources mentioned: The Obvious Choice™ (Marie's program on positioning yourself for promotion)If this hit home, share it with someone who's been "waiting their turn" a little too patiently — subscribe and leave a review so more women find the show.

You Deserve to Celebrate Your Progress A gentle reminder that you are doing a better job than you think.

Abortion is one of the defining moral issues of our time—but how well do we actually understand its history, science, and cultural impact? In this episode of Truth Changes Everything, Dr. Jeff Myers sits down with Dr. John Ferrer, founder of the Abortion Museum, to explore the facts, history, and worldview questions surrounding abortion. Rather than relying on political slogans or cultural narratives, Dr. Ferrer explains why abortion deserves a museum and why understanding its history is essential for anyone seeking truth. Together, they discuss: Why abortion deserves its own museum The history of abortion and its connection to eugenics and scientific racism What science reveals about pregnancy and human development Common myths and misconceptions surrounding abortion Why abortion is more than a political issue How Christians can speak about abortion with both conviction and compassion What the church can learn from the stories of women and families affected by abortion Whether you are pro-life, pro-choice, or simply seeking to understand the issue more thoughtfully, this conversation offers historical context, scientific insight, and a deeper discussion about human dignity, personhood, and truth.

The Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA) is a federal law that protects the right to emergency healthcare, including abortion. There has been, post-Dobbs, a clash between these federal protections and states with abortion bans. Amani Echols, Senior Policy Analyst for Maternal Health at the National Partnership for Women and Families and Ashley Kurzweil, Senior Policy Analyst for Reproductive Health and Rights at the National Partnership for Women and Families, sit down to talk with us about this unleashing of chaos and confusion around whether and when emergency abortion care is permitted. In many states, patient health must deteriorate to an extremely risky state before qualifying for the “health exceptions” to abortion bans that are in place. In addition, hospital closures are occurring around the country after Trump's recent One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), and for those who have emergencies in rural communities, that is extremely dangerous. For women of color who often experience dismissal or de-prioritization in medical settings, the pain, stress, and complications are often exacerbated. Abortion restrictions will no doubt worsen the maternal health crisis in the United States, which has the highest rate of maternal deaths of any other high-income nation. Black and Indigenous women are more than three times as likely to die from pregnancy-related causes than their white counterparts and are even more likely to experience morbidity or severe maternal morbidity related to their pregnancy.For more information, check out That Aged Well: https://pod.link/1446333312Support the showFollow Us on Social: Twitter: @rePROsFightBack Instagram: @reprosfbFacebook: rePROs Fight Back Bluesky: @reprosfightback.bsky.socialBuy rePROs Merch: Bonfire store Email us: jennie@reprosfightback.comRate and Review on Apple PodcastThanks for listening & keep fighting back!

Grace is not a feeling. It's not religious sentiment. It's not God looking the other way. It's a specific act — done at enormous cost, on behalf of people who were actively opposed to it being done. Romans 5 says it plainly: while we still had our fists in the face of God, Christ died for us. Not when we cleaned ourselves up. Not when we got serious about faith. While we were still the problem.Every honest person knows they have a sin problem — not a list of small mistakes, but a fundamental bent toward self that has caused real harm to real people. And the consequence for that, according to Scripture, is separation from a God whose holiness cannot simply overlook sin without ceasing to be God. That's not comfortable. But the discomfort is exactly what makes the gift comprehensible.What God did about it — the cross — is either the most important event in human history or it isn't. If it is, then the only rational response is to receive it. Not as plan B. Not as a supplement to your existing moral effort. As the only plan available. The invitation is open right now: trust Jesus Christ, and receive the gift of a completely clear record. It changed everything for one person reading the Gospel of John alone in his bedroom at age 19. It's available to anyone willing to reach for it.Support the mission of the Salty Pastor ministry!

What does that look like in practice?Is there anything keeping you from fully trusting Jesus with your forgiveness — not intellectually, but personally?

Free advice is not always harmless. Sometimes it teaches the market to disrespect your value. In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down why giving away your time, strategy, and expertise for free can destroy your authority, weaken your positioning, and hurt your business. Because let's be real… If you keep giving away your best strategies… Over coffee… In casual conversations… Or during “quick favors”… You are not always being generous. You may be devaluing your knowledge. In this episode, you'll learn: Why people do not value what they do not pay for How free consulting can weaken your premium positioning Why boundaries separate serious clients from tire kickers How charging for your time increases respect, commitment, and authority Why every opinion, request, or “quick question” does not deserve unlimited access to you The truth is simple: Your knowledge came from years of execution. Years of mistakes. Years of pressure. Years of learning what actually works. That is not free. And when someone wants access to your brain, your strategy, or your experience… They need to respect the value behind it. High-level operators do not run free help desks. They set the fee. They protect their time. They filter out unserious prospects. And they deliver massive value to the people who are willing to invest. Because the more access you give away without boundaries, the more people begin to treat your expertise like a casual favor instead of a serious asset. Stop giving away the blueprint for the price of coffee. Protect your knowledge. Charge your rate. Deliver the goods. And keep leveling up. Your Network is your NETWORTH!

In this video, I'm breaking down why clothing brands fail to get sales, why your Shopify store isn't getting orders, why your marketing isn't working, and what most startup clothing brand owners completely misunderstand about building a real brand. After doing over $1M in sales with my own clothing brand and working with over 500 clothing brands one-on-one, I'm giving you the blunt reality of what it actually takes to get consistent sales and how to market your clothing brand.If you want to grow a clothing brand in 2026, posting product photos and hoping people buy is not enough. You need product-market fit, a real brand identity, better content, stronger social proof, a better website, more consistent marketing, and something genuinely different that makes people care. I'll show you examples of brands and creators doing exceptional things, so you can understand why some brands get orders every day while others stay stuck with no sales. If you're serious about clothing brand marketing, getting more Shopify sales, building a streetwear brand, growing on Instagram and TikTok, and turning your brand into something people actually want to buy from, this is the wake-up call you need.

SUPERGIRL, the follow-up to James Gunn's SUPERMAN from last year, has finally hit theaters, and people are being totally chill and not weird at all about it. Just kidding! The discourse has reached a fever pitch, but does the movie, starring Milly Alcock as the titular heroine with an assist from Jason Momoa as Lobo and David Corenswet returning as the Man of Steel, deserve the divisive response it's getting?

What good is a vaccine people don't trust? Immunologist and TED Fellow Kizzmekia Corbett co-developed the first COVID-19 vaccine to enter clinical trials — but she'll tell you that making the vaccine was never the hardest part.

She shares a refreshing approach for taking on vaccine inquisitiveness and ensuring that humanity is ready for the next pandemic. And stick around after her talk for a deep dive conversation with our guest host for the week, author and podcaster Manoush Zomorodi, into the ideas she shared on stage and beyond.This is episode three of a seven-part series airing this week on TED Talks Daily, where Manoush — and the seven speakers she curated for TED2026 — explore how you can live a healthier life in our high-tech era.To hear more from Manoush, listen to TED Radio Hour wherever you get your podcasts.
