As is so often the case in Greek history, real events merge with myth—and there’s no more perfect example than the island of Ithaca, renowned as the homeland of ‘Odysseus’ the hero king in Homer’s epic poem, The Odyssey. Now, at an archeological dig there, tiles bearing the name of Odysseus have been found, confirming […] The post Myth Collides With History in Greece Where Tiles Found Marked ‘Odysseus’ Confirm Hero Worship of Homer’s Trojan War King appeared first on Good News Network.

Books Short Fiction Spotlight Must Read Short Speculative Fiction: May 2025 May’s standout short fiction includes mermaids, vampires, ‘droids, dukes, gods, devils, and more… By Alex Brown | Published on June 18, 2025 Comment 0 Share New Share I’ve got a wide mix of stories for you for this short fiction spotlight. Mermaids and vampires, droids and dukes, gods and devils, hope and vengeance, survival and surrender. Of all the short science fiction, fantasy, and horror stories I read in May, these ten were the ones that stuck with me the most. “Apostasy in Fruit” by Moustapha Mbacké Diop When her older sister Kana disappears, our narrator is distraught. A week before, she seemed to foretell her own disappearance with a story about strange children and women with donkey legs. But the crime is much more ordinary: wicked people doing cruel things simply because they can. Our narrator seeks a solution that is as extraordinary as Kana’s urban legends, yet somehow even more horrible. The deal she strikes will change her, psychologically and physically. I’ve not read anything by Moustapha Mbacké Diop before, and this was a great introduction. Thoroughly creepy and kinda gross but beautifully written. (The Dark—May 2025; issue 120) “The Case Against Raven Mail” by Wen Wen Yang A farmer has had enough. Duke Muptus has abused his position of power one too many times. Our narrator sets off to appeal to the Imperial Prince, and gains followers as her journey progresses. The trip isn’t easy, but by the time they reach the fortress, they have an army of denizens who have also been slighted by the Duke. When the time comes to make her demands, the farmer chooses the option that allows her to help as many people as she can. A sweet albeit very short story about kindness in the face of tyranny and community resilience. (Worlds of Possibility—April 2025; version 2) “Dare Seize the Fire” by Jennifer R. Donohue “This isn’t how I’m supposed to die.” Jennifer R. Donohue starts this story off with a great hook. Instead of superheroes flying around rescuing people, in this story the heroes are sirens, creatures with fragile bird bones and huge wings and talons on their feet. They’re organized under a boss who sends them out on rescue missions. Amabel keeps getting into trouble for going off script during her missions, but she only does it because she can’t not help people. Besides, she knows how she’s going to die, so until that moment comes, she’s going to keep tip-toeing right up to the edge. I loved the way this story centers on compassion for those most vulnerable and finding ways to use your privilege to help the helpless. (The Future Fire—May 2025; issue 2025.75) “Deliver” by Safiya Cherfi “The women in Màiri’s family sometimes lost their babies to the sea.” Màiri lives in rural Scotland in a little cottage near the ocean. Her mother lost several newborns to the sea, and even though Màiri and her mother have learned to accept this fate, each loss still eats at them. Their family is bound to the sea in ways Màiri doesn’t yet understand. Meanwhile, outsiders try to sensationalize her sorrow. Safiya Cherfi’s story is full of Scottish folklore and that haunting feeling you get standing on the moors in the highlands with nothing but heather and fog around you. (Inner Worlds—May 2025; issue 7) “Full, Empty Houses” by Plangdi Neple In Plangdi Neple’s version of Abuja, Nigeria you visit a place “where the dust devils from the Sahara transform into actual devils who will gladly trade and barter your skin for whatever they want.” The house is brimming with dark magic, and inside is a man who is not a man. The protagonist wants power in exchange for a human sacrifice, power for revenge, power to sate a broken heart, power over those who had power over you. I love a bloody queer revenge story. “Fully, Empty Houses” examines anti-gay violence and the patriarchy through horror fiction (Kaleidotrope—Spring 2025) “Kamisama no Kami no Kami o Kamu” by H. E. Shippas Shino wants to make a name for himself. He’s a nobody in a small village who dreams of greatness. So one day Shino sets out to find a god. When he finally tracks down the god of written history, he doesn’t quite get what he wants, or he does but not in the way he expects. Shino keeps striving for more, and the god sends him off with more questions. A sharp story about learning to appreciate what you have and that success doesn’t have to mean wealth or fame or power. Unfortunately for Shino, those are lessons he learns far too late. (State of Matter—Q2 2025; issue 17) “The Library of the Apocalypse” by Rati Mehrotra As a librarian, I’m always going to read short stories about libraries. This one is set in a dystopian near future in Ontario, Canada. The apocalypse has come and gone, leaving ruin in its wake. Our narrator is part of a large group, one of the last people who survived, but they seem not quite human. Rati Mehrotra gives us little hints that they’re different without outright telling us just how much until later. The group searches for a Library that comes and goes of its own accord. When they enter the Library, not all of them leave it. Despite the sadness and desolation of this world, the story ends on a hopeful note. Lovely all around. (Clarkesworld—May 2025; issue 224) “Pale Serpent, Green Serpent” by Ewan Ma For centuries, Tsing and Bak have played this game. They live on Earth but are not human, and when one gets desperate enough they reach out for a meeting. They chat and flirt then try to kill each other. This was such a neat take on vampires. It’s a darkly playful tale, a little bit violent, a little bit sexy. Not long after reading this story I also got to read another one of theirs, “Where the World Goes Sharp and Quiet,” in the new anthology Amplitudes: Stories of Queer and Trans Futurity. Cannot recommend it enough! (Uncanny—May/June 2025; issue 64) “Spandex, Sporks, and Space Vampires” by Marie Vibbert Speaking of new takes on vampires, in her new story, Marie Vibbert asks what happens when you put a vampire on a spaceship. A vampire is a passenger on a spaceship headed toward Saturn when they’re boarded by pirates. She’s trying to pass as human, but another passenger figures out what she is pretty quickly. The two come up with a plan: “Eat the pirates. Be a hero and get an all-you-can-eat buffet.” If you want a space opera with some gallows humor, this is the story for you. It’s quirky and clever. (Uncharted) “Tell Me I’m Wonderful” by Kelly Robson This story opens in a near future Los Angeles after everyone but the poor have fled the region due to all the fires. The people who are left live on the streets, all except the brain of a wealthy patron living with an incapacitated body and an active mind. He hires twin sisters, Eve and Beulah to take care of him. Instead of tending to his every need, they show him the beauty of life. Kelly Robson’s story was a stressful but necessary read for me. I’ve lived through several California wildfires, and live not far from the fires that hit the LA area in January. Even in all the destruction, this place, this state is home. There may be suffering, but there’s also so much joy. (The Sunday Morning Transport—May 11, 2025)  [end-mark] The post Must Read Short Speculative Fiction: May 2025 appeared first on Reactor.

FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL—A coalition of conservative organizations is urging the Senate to confirm the chair of an independent agency used by the Biden administration to push gender transitions and abortion. Throughout the second Trump administration, Andrea Lucas has served as the acting chair of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Lucas has served on the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission since 2020, when she was nominated as a commissioner by President Donald Trump during his first term and confirmed by the U.S. Senate.   “In just a few short months, the Lucas-led EEOC has rooted out DEI-related discrimination practices in some of the nation’s largest law firms, launched new pathways for workers and employers to report DEI-related discrimination, and won numerous legal actions against companies who were systematically harassing employees based on race and other factors,” reads the coalition letter, signed by Advancing American Freedom, Alliance Defending Freedom, Family Research Council, Parents Defending Education, the Christian Employers Alliance, Concerned Women for America, and Council for National Policy. Former Democrat commissioner Jocelyn Samuels imposed a gender-identity mandate imposed requiring employers to treat males as females and allow employee access to private spaces based on gender identity. Samuels and fellow Democrat Charlotte Burrows also misused the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, which is supposed to protect pregnant women, to promote a pro-abortion agenda, silence pro-life speech by employers, and force employers to facilitate elective abortions. However, Lucas “has already taken strong steps toward a more evenhanded enforcement of employment civil rights laws,” the letter says. “No longer is the EEOC the tip of the left-wing spear,” according to the coalition. “Rather, Mrs. Lucas has restored the EEOC to what it was always intended to be—an office that fights to eliminate workplace discrimination, no matter what form it takes, and to promote equality under the law.” Lucas removed gender ideology from EEOC operations, while increasing its defense of women in the workplace suffering under sex-based harassment. She also led efforts to restore and protect religious liberty in the workplace. “The list of her successes and ongoing actions is long and unable to be fully detailed here,” the coalition wrote. “From protecting veterans to people with disabilities to Jewish workers under antisemitic attack, Mrs. Lucas has quickly turned the EEOC into an agency that fairly yet fiercely seeks justice for all types of violations of federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination.” The post EXCLUSIVE: Conservative Coalition Urges Confirmation of Chair of Equal Employment Opportunity Commission appeared first on The Daily Signal.

Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Calif., delivered remarks Tuesday on the Senate floor, defending his confrontation last week with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem while accusing President Donald Trump of using the LA riots as a pretext to deploy the National Guard and violate First Amendment rights. On June 12, during a press briefing held by Noem in California, Padilla burst into the room, began shouting at Noem, ignored security officers’ directions and pushed toward the secretary. The senator was then restrained, handcuffed, and forced out of the press briefing. Tricia McLaughlin, assistant secretary at DHS, called Padilla’s actions “disrespectful political theater,” noting on X, “@SecretService thought he was an attacker and officers acted appropriately.”Padilla’s speech addressed the incident, describing himself not as an unidentified individual yelling and moving aggressively toward a federal official, but “one senator with a question.” Here are five key moments from Tuesday’s floor speech: 1. Padilla Started to Tear Up While recalling his experience, Padilla started to cry, stating he was “physically and aggressively forced out of the room.” “You’ve seen the video,” Padilla said.

I was forced to the ground first on my knees and then flat on my chest.” He concluded his story by wishing all his colleagues, “I pray you never have a moment like this.” 2. Padilla Accused Trump of Authoritarianism The senator continued his speech by calling his experience as a breach of his First Amendment rights, claiming, “If that is what the administration is willing to do to a United States senator for having the authority to simply ask a question, imagine what they’ll do to any American who dares to speak up.” In response to last week's altercation, Senator Padilla asked his colleagues in the Senate to "imagine" what the Trump administration could do to others in closed rooms.@DailySignal pic.twitter.com/VszQVglnKC— Lorenzo Prieto (@LorenzoPrieto) June 17, 2025 “If what you saw happen can happen when the cameras are on, imagine not only what can happen, but what is happening in so many places where there are no cameras.” 3. Padilla Claimed ICE is Arresting Innocent Immigrants Padilla claimed that law and immigration enforcement are not arresting criminals but innocents, with “no prior criminal conviction,” and added that “10% of immigrants taken into ICE custody since October have no serious criminal convictions.” Sen. Padilla claimed @POTUS Trump used the L.A. riots as an excuse to shift media attention from negative polls.A recent @NapolitanNews poll found a majority of respondents (51%) strongly/somewhat approve of the job Trump is doing.@DailySignal pic.twitter.com/tIS4bj9Boc— Lorenzo Prieto (@LorenzoPrieto) June 17, 2025 4. Padilla Attacked Trump for Shifting the Media’s Narrative Padilla claimed that Trump took advantage of the LA riots to distract the media. “Donald Trump was at the lowest point of his presidency so far. He was drowning in a week of terrible headlines.” Sen.

And he’d been handed lost after loss in federal court.” 5. Padilla Referred to the Riots as “Peaceful Protests” Towards the end of his speech, Padilla accused the president of creating a distraction to “justify his authoritarian power grab,” while people were peacefully protesting and “things began to settle.” In an ironic tone, the senator defended the riots, saying, “What a weekend!” Sen. Padilla claimed @POTUS Trump justified his "authoritarian power grab" to crack down on the "peaceful protests.""What a weekend!"@DailySignal pic.twitter.com/q56Sy4s1Ns— Lorenzo Prieto (@LorenzoPrieto) June 17, 2025 The post Five Key Moments From Sen.

As tensions in the Middle East escalate following Israeli airstrikes on Iran, a leading national security expert says Israel has achieved a decisive advantage that could end Iran’s nuclear weapons program. Robert Greenway, director of The Heritage Foundation’s Allison Center for National Security, argues that Israel’s recent operations have crippled Iran’s military leadership, destroyed air defenses, and gained air superiority. Greenway shared his insights on the “Heritage Explains” podcast. The following interview transcript has been edited for length and clarity. Can you give us an account of the development in the Middle East? What’s happened? What’s changed in the situation over the last couple of days? Robert Greenway: All of this was really initiated by the revelation—not surprisingly—that Iran was, in fact, pursuing a nuclear weapon and has gotten to the threshold. All of that [was] enabled by the hundreds of billions of dollars that came in the form of appeasement in the Biden and Obama administrations. Having gotten to the threshold, the IAEA—The International Atomic Energy Organization—that monitors the program came to the conclusion and issued a very unique and unprecedented censure capturing the fact that [Iran] had in fact developed the infrastructure that could not be accounted in any other way. [Iran was] not being responsive to questions and addressing some of the discrepancies in the available information.  So, Israel determined that it had to act before Iran could obtain possession of a nuclear weapon, which it has sworn to use against its enemies, in this case, Israel and the United States. In acting, Israel had seized the initiative, surprised Iran, and in a very short period of time managed to do critical things, which has expanded over the last couple of days. The first is to be able to strike at regime leadership. The command and control, the individuals responsible for making decisions and supporting the supreme leader in making decisions were [figuratively] decapitated. Up to 40 individuals that fill critical roles in their military and security apparatus have been killed, as well as experts in … the nuclear weapons development programs. Second, they managed to take out all of the Iranian air defense systems that remained after October’s strikes that Israel took after responding to a ballistic missile attack. Third, they have managed to gain air supremacy and air superiority as a result of taking out the air defenses and command and control facilities and the individuals responsible. The last is they’ve been able to begin to attrit the retaliatory capacity, the ballistic missiles that Iran has long developed in order to threaten Israel and its neighbors in the region and ultimately developed an intercontinental ballistic missile capable of delivering a nuclear payload against the United States. Having done that, the strikes against Israel have begun to abate, and it’s not clear as to whether [Iran] no longer possess the inventory to [continue the strikes] or that Israel has taken away a means to deliver it. Now, we’re at the point where the United States is determining whether or not it needs to be involved. The reason essentially comes down to nuclear structures that are built to protect the centrifuge: cascades in hardened, deeply buried underground facilities of which there are two. One is being used and one could be used. Both are buried some 300 feet underground, reinforced concrete structures built over decades and are beyond Israel’s capacity to defeat from the air with conventional weapons. The capability to do that exists only in the US inventory. Now, President Trump and the national security team thankfully are assessing the situation and judging what’s required. If you take a step back, where we’re at is the end of diplomatic resolution to the Iranian nuclear question. The Israelis have acted and done so decisively and effectively that they’re at the cusp of eliminating that capability. Not only did the Iranians reject the President Trump’s offer to negotiate an end, they also miss the window of opportunity. Now it appears that the military solution will have ended the Iranian nuclear ambitions but may require US support to complete the action. Is there a likelihood that America will engage militarily? Greenway: In the last 24 hours, the president’s comments to the press, his tweets on X and on Truth Social all indicate that he’s moving in a direction and he’s sympathetic to the argument.  I think he recognizes most importantly it may be required to effectively end it. The worst-case scenario here is where after Israel effectively neuters Iran that the capacity remains intact underground so that they would resurrect it and become a threat later. I think [Trump’s] sympathetic to the argument that the United States can play a role here in closing that door completely so that Iran no longer has possession of a nuclear weapon, his primary and often repeated policy objective, which is the right one. I think also that the circumstances now are clear enough to indicate too that Iran could never drag the United States into a war. It can’t defend itself against Israel, let alone the United States. There never were plans to invade Iran, nor is that required under the circumstances. This could be a surgical strike and one for which the United States is well equipped. There is not a scenario in which we’d be drug into an endless war. In reality, this ends a war that started in 1979 that the Islamic Republic has been in against the United States and Israel. I think after doing this, we could be looking at an entirely different region for the first time in decades absent the Iranian threat. Assuming that there is military action in Iran that eliminates the nuclear program, do we have some sense of what governance in Iran would look like post such an action? Greenway: No, I think it’s impossible to predict. You’re looking at really one or two outcomes, both of which are better than the current. Right now, you have a maniacal state sponsor of terrorism led by a religious fanatic committed to the destruction of Israel and the United States. The other two alternatives, as a result of this series of actions taken by Israel and potentially United States, would leave Iran probably without the rule of Supreme Leader [Ali] Khamenei and his ilk. Iran could return to its democratic roots, which predate the ‘79 revolution. There are those that believe that the Shah’s son [Reza Pahlavi], now living in the United States, could potentially return to power and organize a democratic movement. There is some sympathy, as far as we know, on the ground inside of Iran for that. There are a number of active resistance groups, but the repression of the state has prevented them from organizing inside. They have organized externally and outside of Iran and they’ve been hunted down mercilessly. There is broad support for a change in governing structure inside of Iran, insofar as we know. It would undoubtedly take time for this to take shape and materialize. However, if the alternative was collapse, it still would be preferable in this sense. Even if it takes time for them to sort out what a new governing structure would look like, they would no longer have the capacity to threaten the United States, Israel, our neighbors and interests in the region. That ultimately is the better day that we can envision after this. Of course, Israel is currently engaged in the war in Gaza. What are the implications for this conflict? Can Israel fight both of these at the same time? Greenway: Right now, they are, because the conflict in Gaza is in its very final stages. It requires some, but not all of Israel’s military might. It is predominantly a ground fight. The fight in Iran has been from the air, has been an intelligence operation and a battle for air supremacy, which Israel has won. No ground forces are required for that. So, right now, you’ve got different elements of the Israeli defense forces engaged. Having concluded the conflict with Iran successfully, it puts Israel in a much stronger regional position. What is your advice for folks who are watching this conflict unfold? Greenway: First, they should be remarkably encouraged, one that this threat has been confronted. We’re no longer living in a world in which Israel and the United States are concerned about the development of a nuclear weapon in the hands of a maniacal terrorist regime. Second, that this is not a piece of paper or a guarantee, that has often [been] violated by Iran, [that] is the only thing that stands between us. This could be a definitive end to the nuclear program. It could even be a definitive end to Iran as a threat. What that ultimately means is the region could be shaped in a way in which we would no longer be confronted with the ever-present reality of a conflict in the Middle East. Lastly, I would say again, there’s no scenario envisioned in which the US will be drawn into a ground war of any kind or an endless war that we’ve seen in the Middle East previously. For the first time in decades, I think I can say I’m optimistic about the trajectory regardless of how uncertain it may be in the near term.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth on Wednesday testified on the Pentagon’s proposed defense budget for fiscal year 2026, articulating the Trump administration’s vision for a strong United States. Addressing the elephant in the room, Hegseth said the decision about whether or not to strike Iran is at the presidential level, and that he would go into more detail in a classified setting.  Appearing before the Senate Armed Services Committee, Hegseth explained that his department was requesting about $961.6 billion from Congress. That’s a more than $110 billion increase from the request for fiscal year 2025, which was $849.8 billion. The defense secretary emphasized that some of the money was going to improve the quality of life for the military’s warfighters. Hegseth explained that the budget “makes historic investments in living conditions in barracks, in base housing,” adding: The best part of my job is meeting and interacting with troops and their families. We hear their concerns. “Each of these initiatives responds to feedback that improve quality of life for our warriors and their families, things that include making historic investments,” the defense secretary said.  Hegseth noted that his three guiding priorities for his time at the Defense Department are to restore the military’s warrior ethos, rebuild the U.S.’s military, and reestablish deterrence of America’s enemies. “We’re working with the Department of Homeland Security to increase border security, to reduce China’s malign influence in the Western Hemisphere, to defend freedom of navigation in the Red Sea,” he explained.  Hegseth emphasized that the budget proposal would provide $25 billion to start construction of the Golden Dome, a network of radars, sensors, and other systems to detect a variety of threats to the U.S., including ballistic and hypersonic missiles. The system is estimated to cost approximately $175 billion in total.  Hegseth also said the military would be focusing once again on merit. “[Diversity, equity, and inclusion] is dead. We replaced it with a colorblind, gender neutral, merit-based approach, and the force is responding incredibly, because of President [Donald] Trump and his America first priorities. Recruitment and retention are higher than they’ve been in decades,” the defense secretary explained.  “May God grant us the wisdom to see what is right and the courage to do it,” he said. Hegseth touted the billions of dollars in savings that the Defense Department had undertaken. “After four years of weakness and mismanagement, we found nearly $30 billion in savings across the departments, and this savings, if you add this savings to our overall budget, we’re increasing the [defense] budget in 2016 by $143 billion,” Hegseth said. Hegseth agreed with Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Miss., chairman of the committee, that spending less than 3% of gross domestic product on defense would be dangerous. “Sir, I believe we all serve at the pleasure of the president, and in every single position, we’re looking for the right man or woman to fill that role, to execute on behalf of the missions of this department, and we’re doing it expeditiously in every case,” Hegseth said.  Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., commended Hegseth for restoring the names of military bases that had been changed under the Biden administration. “I think that was an inspired approach. It complies with the law. It teaches a new generation of soldiers about those who went before them, and I hope the matter is settled,” Cotton said.

If you're tired of censorship and dystopian threats against civil liberties, subscribe to Reclaim The Net. The University of Oregon is facing the financial consequences of an unconstitutional attempt to suppress speech after a federal judge ordered it to pay $191,000 in legal fees to Portland State University professor Bruce Gilley. The order, issued by US District Judge John V. Acosta, follows a settlement reached in March 2025 in which the university acknowledged Gilley’s comments should not have been censored and agreed to implement major policy reforms. The legal fees, which will be covered by UO’s insurer United Educators, include $147,070 awarded to the Institute for Free Speech (IFS) and $43,930 to the Angus Lee Law Firm. These payments, combined with more than $533,000 that the university had already spent on its own legal representation by late 2024, push the cost of defending its actions to at least $724,000. That figure excludes further expenses accrued since November. These high costs are directly tied to UO’s decision to support its DEI officials after they blocked Gilley for replying “all men are created equal” to a university post on X. This fee award reflects the substantial resources required to vindicate fundamental constitutional rights in the digital age, as well as the vigor with which the University of Oregon chose to defend unconstitutional policies,” said Del Kolde, IFS Senior Attorney. “The university made a costly decision to prioritize DEI principles over constitutional principles, aggressively litigating this case for nearly three years rather than acknowledging the obvious, that blocking someone for quoting the Declaration of Independence violates the First Amendment.” The conflict began in June 2022, when Gilley reposted a UO “racism interrupter” message and added the phrase from the Declaration of Independence. After UO’s Division of Equity and Inclusion blocked him, Gilley challenged the move in court. A July 2024 preliminary injunction restricted the university from blocking or muting its posts, and the legal proceedings culminated in a settlement requiring the university to overhaul its social media practices. Under the agreement, UO must now end viewpoint-based censorship, establish an appeals process for blocked users, provide annual First Amendment training to social media staff, and operate under court oversight for 180 days to ensure compliance.

Trump: 'I Was the Hunted, Now I'm the Hunter'

“If you really put your back into it, then you can create yourself like a wonderful work of art, with the freedom and individuality that the nihilist condition opens up,” Seiriol Morgan told IFLScience.

It’s astonishing the sensitivity they pack into a brain smaller than a grain of rice.
