Imagine dying in a badly planned air assault, for this. Terrible vibes, you'd get the worst seating in Valhalla. The "ok fine it technically counts as battle but you were too cowardly to frag an officer" seats, right by the door with the dogs and the thralls.

αὐτὸς γὰρ ἐφέλκεται ἄνδρα σίδηρος "For iron itself incites men [to violence]" (Odyssey 19.13). One of the great examples of how sharp Greek, especially Homer's, can be in its brevity. The verb, ἐφέλκειν, is literally 'to draw, drag, take in tow,' so the iron itself is dragging men to violence.

So ICE has started brutalizing travelers in airports approximately instantly. This is going to get worse until the Trump admin reverses this idiocy, if it does at all.

I think this is what the cool kids call an escalation spiral

We must believe in a world to create that world

Blursed career milestone -- my work appears in a thinkfluencer's content www.youtube.com/watch?v=ju0q.... Moderately annoyed that he didn't show off the entire uv subsystem which fixes all sorts of problems his rules_python pip.parse setup silently has, but maybe he gets there.
