Once on the ACW pod, @aaronstein1.bsky.social responded to @armscontrolwonk.bsky.social's language saying, "Hey, this is a kids' podcast." That inspired this image of a weapons inspector Paw Patroller.

Seeing a lot of comments that Matt Damon's Odysseus should have Mycenaean armour. But... Odysseus is not a Mycenaean figure. He is a character in an Archaic Greek epic. Insisting that his armour should reflect the Bronze Age is glossing over all sorts of complexity

Matt Damon is Christopher Nolan's Odysseus – but what's wrong with his armour?
Not to be an insufferable history nerd, but that does not look like Bronze Age Mycenaean armour
