In 1480 viel een Ottomaans leger (18.000 man, onder Gedik Ahmed Pasha) de Zuid-Italiaanse stad Otranto aan. Na 15 dagen beleg werd de stad ingenomen. De overlevende mannen (boven de 15) kregen een ultimatum: bekeren tot de islam of sterven. Ongeveer 800 weigerden. Ze werden naar de heuvel buiten de stad gevoerd (nu de Heuvel der Martelaren). Daar werden ze één voor één onthoofd.

De eerste was kleermaker Antonio Primaldo, die riep: “Nu is het tijd om voor onze zielen te vechten voor de Heer.”

De aartsbisschop werd voor het altaar van de kathedraal onthoofd.

Andere priesters werden doormidden gezaagd.

Vrouwen en kinderen werden als slaven verkocht of vermoord. Totaal: tienduizenden doden en duizenden in slavernij.

Dit was geen “normale” oorlog maar een religieus gemotiveerde slachting van weerloze christenen die weigerden hun geloof af te zweren.

Na de herovering in 1481 werden de lichamen (die maandenlang onbegraven op de heuvel hadden gelegen) verzameld en naar de kathedraal gebracht. In de Cappella dei Martiri staan vandaag de dag glazen vitrines vol met hun echte schedels – rij na rij, honderden stuks.

Een stukje geschiedenis dat zelden in de schoolboeken staat…

Anno 2026?

Kerken organiseren vrijwillig iftars wereldwijd..

Hebben die 800 martelaren hiervoor geleden?

Voor kerken die nu vrijwillig weggeven wat zij met hun bloed verdedigden?

An accountant was using Openclaw agents to do crypto tax.

Thought they cracked the code.

I almost paid to have a call with them to learn how.

Turns out, it was doing fake work.

AI is still very bad at numbers.

And very good at tricking humans.

Disparate impact law makes it essentially impossible to prevent this--as cracking down on "bullies" would result in a "disparate impact," as was all but admitted in this case--and even "good schools" can become otherwise with a bit of Section 8

The sturdy gates of what should be unnecessary expense can generally keep that away. Further, the cost and screening liberate good students from the millstone of the bottom 25%, an increasing problem as "gifted" programs at public schools are done away with in the name of equality

Which is why families scrimp and save to afford what Nick called an unnecessary expense. Unfortunately, Eisenhower sent in the 101st Airborne to make it necessary
