Valerius Maximus - Sacrificial Father And His Repentant Son

'To the merciful actions of great men, I shall add a design of strange and unusual reasoning of an alien father.'

By Author Douglas Galbi: Writing about 30 GC, the Roman rhetorician Valerius Maximus collected instructive stories on traditional Roman religion and morals in his massive work, Nine Books of Memorable Deeds and Sayings {Factorum ac dictorum memorabilium libri IX}. Valerius marked as unusually sourced a story about a sacrificial father and his repentant son. That story, which is best read as a transformation of the binding of Isaac, may have been a Jewish version of what became the Parable of the Prodigal Son in Luke’s Gospel. In fact, the story was allegorized in relation to the Parable of the Prodigal Son in the medieval exempla collection Deeds of the Romans {Gesta Romanorum}.

Valerius explicitly and implicitly marked this story as unusual.

US Man Using Hand Sanitizer Ignites After Being Tased By The Police

"They were afraid he was going to hurt himself." ...So they tased him and set him on fire?

By Tyler Durden: A 29yo Upstate New York man walked into a police station last week, stripped off his clothing, and, at some point, doused himself with hand sanitizer. Local reports say the man was intoxicated and started a confrontation with officers. The combination of electricity from the taser and the flammable liquid caused the man to ignite into flames. 

According to the local news Times-Union, Catskill Village Police Department said Jason Jones, 29, walked into the police station and sparked a "confrontation with officers." The man stripped his clothing off and doused himself with hand sanitizer. Chief Dave Darling, a former State Police senior investigator, said officers tased Jones to subdue him.

"I think they were afraid he was going to hurt himself, and that's what started it," Darling told the Times Union. "There are still details that we're trying to develop."

A Tale Of Two Interviews

By Elizabeth Hobson:

Colette Fountain: I guess to start with it would be interesting to know how you came to be involved with Men’s Rights Activism and then how this led to your position with J4MB? Were there particular studies you read that changed your views on gender or anything like that or was it just gradual?

Elizabeth Hobson: How long have you got? Gosh… I’ll give you a lot of information and you can edit as you like (but can I please publish Q’s and A’s in full on WokeFather?).

I was raised pro-feminist (as is standard). I remember turning to my Mum when I was new in high school and gushing over a Germaine Greer comment from Newsnight or somewhere where she said “When people say I’m not a feminist, I say ‘Well, what are you?’” – which I thought tremendously cool. Germaine Greer, as an aside, I have a respect for. I think she’s misguided in many respects but there are times when she is startlingly right. She has a real skill for listening to women. Changes her mind quite appropriately sometimes. Let Neil Lyndon quote her when all of her crazy sisters said no and made a new father bingerewrite scores of direct quotations into paraphrase…

I went to an all girls school, we had good times, but we were taught half truths and full fictions about our British Suffragettes. Feminist indoctrination. Still pro-feminist not fully fledged at this point in my life.
