ATLUS dropped the Shin Megami Tensei V story trailer this morning.Continue reading “Shin Megami Tensei V story trailer” ATLUS will be sharing news, events and more come September.Continue reading “ATLUS celebrating 25th anniversary of Persona this September” An anonymous post on 4chan hints at upcoming releases from Atlus. Until we have any official confirmation this is of course to be taken with a grain of salt. The leak talks about Persona 5 Royal heading to Nintendo Switch, Steam and Xbox + Game Pass “soon”. Persona 5 Royal was originally released on the PlayStation 4 in 2019. Also mentioned is that Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne HD will release on 25th May. And just 18 hours ago we got the official announcement from Atlus, thus lending credence to the leak. So all that’s left for us to do now is wait. And speculate. We can definitely do the speculating. ● Genre: Japanese Role-Playing Game ● Platforms: PlayStation 4 ● Developer | Publisher: P-Studio | Atlus, Deep Silver ● Age Rating: PEGI 16 | ESRB M (Mature) ● Price: UK £49.99 | US $19.99 ● Release Date: 15th September 2016 No review code was provided, and all opinions contained below are my own. With Persona 5 Strikers hitting the western world, I decided to revisit the original Persona 5. Having played Persona games before, I went into Persona 5 expecting a slow-burn, long haul adventure. While the game is a lenghty one as RPGs tend to be, I was surprised by how quickly Persona 5 throws you into the action with you hitting the first Palace just a couple of hours in. This game has had huge commercial success and is arguably the game that made Persona truly popular. It has even generated a meme or two (delicious pancakes, anyone?). For the uninitiated, in Persona you play as a high school student. By day you attend class, answer questions and take exams. By night you can spend time however you wish; ranking up attributes such as knowledge and charm, spending time with friends to level up social links and working part-time jobs. Oh, and you can also summon Personas to fight Shadows and save the world. Y’know, normal stuff. The story starts with a Persona staple: you’re a transfer student who stumbles into trouble, collecting a ragtag group of friends with similar talents to help you save the world. The first to join the diverse group are Morgana and Ryuji- an anthropomorphic cat and a misunderstood thug. As the story progresses you gather more *ahem* colourful characters; a model, an eccentric artist, and a backstabbing traitor to name a few. The main premise is pretty zany, but in a good and interesting way. It does a good job of immersing you while not taking itself too seriously. It’s all shaped around cognition; if enough people collectively believe something to be reality it becomes real. This can also be used to explain the reasoning behind Palaces, a physical manifestation of the ruler of the Palace’s distorted desires. Are you still with me? Good. As the story unfolds, you learn that all your friends are being abused or taken advantage of in some way. One by one, they awaken to their Persona and stand up to their abusers. Once liberated, they join the Phantom Thieves of Hearts and help to liberate others by entering the Palace of their abuser, grinding through, beating the boss and stealing their treasure. All of your teammates are well-developed and fleshed out with distinct strengths, weaknesses and personalities. All of them are likeable, and it’s a joy to build up social links and get to know them. Alongside your teammates, you also have confidants with whom you can also form social links. There are dozens of them and you likely won’t even meet them all on your first run. They’re all full of personality, and I found myself caring about their stories and personal quests as much as I did the main story. While this makes every run feel different and new, it is disappointing that Persona 5 did not take that extra step and implement same sex dating, especially since there are so many male confidants. A Palace exists in the abuser’s cognition and represents their distorted desires. For example, an ex-Olympic egotistic volleyball coach may view the school as his castle of which he is the King. To avoid spoilers, I won’t go into what the ‘King’ does to abuse his power but suffice to say it’s bad. By grinding through the Palace and stealing their treasure you remove their distorted desire, but they retain the memories of what they’ve done and confess under the pressure of their guilt. As the story reaches its climax, you realise that this is truly an unjust game and the odds of winning are almost none. As in previous Persona games, your social links are very important and truly matter. However, ranking up attributes are important to begin or rank up some social links, so spend your time wisely! Persona 5 has New Game+, where you keep your social stats and Personas so I tend to focus on maxing out social stats on the first run and spend the next run solely on social links. Like many popular JRPGs, the combat is turn-based. You fight Shadows by exploiting their elemental weakness. The main protagonist can swap between multiple Personas, and you can choose to command other party members or let them act freely which keeps combat from getting too repetitive. A few new features have been added to Persona 5 which sets it apart from it’s predecessors. The first is that you can use guns to shoot shadows. Some Shadows are weak to gunfire, and this skill can be enhanced and upgraded with a couple of social links. You can also visit an airsoft store to buy and upgrade your guns and melee weapons. Another addition to Persona 5 is the ability to hold Shadows at gunpoint in true Phantom Thief style. You can demand money or items, or converse with them to try and convince them to become one of your Personas. This did cause some confusion for me when Shadows didn’t respond in a way I expected them to, or took something I said the wrong way. However, this gripe is fixed in Persona 5 Royal with Shadows being given personality types and Morgana giving advice. This is just a nit-pick, however. The hold up is comedically dramatic and the game is better for it. The best new mechanic added to Persona 5 is the Baton Pass. By exploiting an enemy’s weakness you get a ‘1 more’. This is self-explanatory; you get to perform another action, be it attacking again or using an item. However, you can only change Persona once per turn, so unless your Persona has multiple elemental attacks you can’t down all your enemies if they all have different weaknesses. This is where the Baton Pass comes in. If your social link is high enough with your team mates, you can ‘pass the baton’ during your 1 more with a crisp high five. This allows you to pass your turn to another party member. If they then manage to exploit an enemy’s weakness they too can Baton Pass, with attacks increasing every time. This does have some limitations, however. The Baton must be passed to someone new every time it is used so it can’t be passed back and forth. Also, if you have a new party member with you who you haven’t had time to rank up you can’t pass the Baton to them and it really ruins the momentum. As the game progresses and the enemies get tougher, Baton Passing becomes imperative so this can literally be a game-saver. Once all enemies are down you enter the aforementioned Hold Up. You can demand something, interrogate them, or initiate an All-Out Attack, in which all of the party attack the Shadows accompanied by an aesthetically pleasing black and red theme. If this doesn’t defeat the Shadow, it knocks them down and takes a massive chunk off their health. Not only is this advantageous combat-wise, it’s also stylish and oddly satisfying, especially if the fight has been a pain in the butt. Persona 5 also introduces stealth. You can peek around corners, hide behind tables and the such. While this is a great addition, it can be very irritating when you don’t have the enemies in your field of view as you can’t rotate the camera while in stealth. As with any RPG, grinding is necessary. You can grind in Palaces as long as they are active, but they all have time limits and become available 1-2 months apart in-game. That’s where Mementos comes in. Mementos is a gargantuan, procedurally generated dungeon set in the Shibuya underground. How do you explore a cognitive underground I hear you ask? In your cat car of course! Since you can’t return to a Palace once you’ve taken it’s treasure, Mementos is a great place to get new Personas. Personas you have encountered in the past will appear in new areas of Mementos, so you don’t need to worry too much if your negotiation failed or weren’t a high enough level to wield the Persona. Combine that with the return of the Velvet Room, Igor, and Persona fusions, and you’ll be spoiled for choice. As Mementos is tied very heavily with the climax of the game, you’ll want to make sure you stay on top of it. Graphics, Sound, and Performance Persona 5 is a beautiful game. There is the odd texture pop but I only ran across one in my last run, and none in the run before that, both of which were on the original PlayStation 4. As with previous Persona games there are anime-style cutscenes which are fluid and appealing. Colours are vivid, lighting is great, and the graphics hold up well. Aside from the anime cutscenes, you also have in-game cutscenes. These take up the main portion of the story-telling as the anime scenes are pretty scarce. They hold up well, despite being a little flat and not as detailed, but they do the job. The game has a very strong and striking black and red aesthetic which suits it well and is utilised everywhere, from the opening sequence to the after-fight summary. It’s sleek and fits the tone of the game fantastically. The character design is fine. It works on the anime trope where all main characters have brightly coloured clothing/hair so you know they’re definitely important. Oddly, the exception to this is the protagonist, who has black hair and wears darker-coloured clothes. Since the whole premise of Persona is a perfectly normal student wandering into his destiny it works well. Where is I really praise the character design is the sprites. They pop up during dialogue, complete with facial expressions, moving mouths and blinking, all in that bright anime style. I’ll keep the sound analysis pretty short, as I could gush about this for hours. The voice acting is fantastic. There’s the occasional odd sound coming out of a characters mouth but that happens when something is dubbed. Each element has a sound effect and all of these are satisfying, especially the lightning and fire. Now onto the best part: the music! Do yourself a favour and go listen to the Persona 5 soundtrack. Trust me, you’ll thank me. It’s soulful and funky, and you just can’t be in a bad mood when you listen to it. The vocals are fantastic and gave me goosebumps the first time I heard the opening theme. The game has four difficulty options as standard (safe, easy, normal and hard) with a fifth you can download for free (nightmare). All can be changed anytime except safe, which is locked in once you choose it. Most of the time I’ve played on the normal mode to get the standard experience. As the game progresses, the margin for error narrows. As discussed above, later in the game is when the Baton Pass comes in handy. If you find yourself down on your luck, and don’t have the right team mates with you to exploit the enemy’s weakness, you can use your turn to swap out a team mate which is handy deeper into the game/on harder difficulties. The game is never difficult in a frustrating way, although I have made some stupid mistakes which have left me frustrated. It just takes more careful planning during battles and boss fights than on the lower difficulties, which don’t really punish you for a mistake. On the easier modes you can be revived and continue the battle. On the harder difficulties however…well, I hope you save frequently. Persona 5 is a stylish, trendy, and delightful game. The story is compelling, the characters are deep and full of personality, and the game looks and sounds great. The topics of ‘pscience’ and ‘cognition’ can leave you scratching your head, especially at the beginning of the game, and there are some hiccups that cause momentary frustration. A fantastic, story-driven, and stylish experience which has a few issues but will ultimately steal your heart.
By: Dave Hanneken Read time: 5 minutes This year’s Super Bowl will be the first of its kind. The stands won’t be packed with screaming fans, and for viewers at home, communal chip bowls and parties are likely off the table. Literally and figuratively. Advertisers will still show up. In a time when the world is tense (politically and pandemically), Americans are excited for the game, but potentially, they are even more excited for the ads. The Super Bowl is one of the only times people shout, “Be quiet everybody, the ads are on!” They tend to be exciting. They tend to be shared. And more often than not, the ads tend to be funny. Should humorous and shareable spots be created beyond the Big Game? We believe so. Some studies show that brands experience ‘ad envy’ after seeing humorous Super Bowl commercials. Will you be one of them? Here are 4 reasons why brands should consider using humor in their 2021 advertising and marketing strategies. 1. Consumers need a laugh now more than ever. Humorous ads seemed to come to a screeching halt in March, when so much was unknown and it felt insensitive to be fun and light-hearted in our ad messaging. But after nearly a year in isolation, consumers need a good laugh. Studies show laughter relieves physical tension, boosts the immune system and decreases stress hormones. And today's stressed-out consumer is looking for content that makes them laugh. Creators find & create humor on TikTok Spend even five minutes on TikTok and you’ll find this app has become a pandemic staple for Gen Z, and then quickly expanded across generations. While the content varies, humor is king. But in this isolated time, creators must be creative. Some examples of virality on TikTok have included simple clips of users playing songs using their washer/dryer button tones, people removing their sweatshirts with their feet and a dog with a unique bark (or owa owa) that garnered millions of views. How bizarre is right. TikTok creators find humor in the mundane and share it with the world. These trends catch fire, they get shared and others join in the fun. Humor wins in previous years But Dave, Super Bowl spots and TikTok are not the same. Sure, but sharing humor is. Super Bowl spots are some of the most shared forms of advertising each year. People share them online with their friends and family, they talk about them days after they air. Last year, four of the top five ads used humor according to the USA Today Ad Meter. During the Big Game, more people will be sharing the funniest commercials with their friends in real-time since they may not be together. The desire for light-hearted, entertaining ads may be at an all-time high, with 75% of consumers welcoming ads with humor during COVID-19. 2. Common ground leaves room for laughter. While the pandemic is no laughing matter, some components of 2020 were. Many people experienced a lot of the same quirky, funny moments for the first time – like learning how to use Zoom, working from home with pets and/or kids, baking bread, binge-watching Tiger King and more. With so many experiences in common, this opens the door for humor in the common ground (also known as in-jokes) which leads to social cohesion. In a time when creativity is key, finding ways to make these in-jokes may not be as hard as you think. Match.com portrays 2020 as literal Hell Match.com’s ‘Match Made in Hell’ campaign took a humorous approach to closed gyms, toilet paper shortages and more. The spots were shared all over social media and the launch ad has 1.5 million views on YouTube. While the target audience for Match.com is obviously singles, everyone can understand and enjoy this entertaining and humorous spot. Nostalgic remakes by Budweiser While Match’s ad was a home run, its production cost was likely at Super Bowl levels. But it doesn’t always require millions of dollars to create a memorable commercial. Consider Budweiser, who created a nostalgic remake of an old 1999 favorite, ‘Wassup.’ Only this time, it is happening through a video call. And video calls are something we all learned to accept in 2020 and beyond. Common ground humor with Wisconsin Lottery Pre-COVID, HY used common ground and relatable jokes in a holiday television spot for our client of nearly 30 years, The Wisconsin Lottery. The spot depicts the struggles of holiday shopping, crowded malls and finding parking—something we can all relate to. While one character struggles, the other relaxes as she already completed her holiday shopping by purchasing holiday scratch games in one quick stop at a convenience store. This struggle is something we’re all familiar with and the contrast between the two shoppers adds a layer of humor. View the spot here. 3. Serious or political ads can divide. Humor can help unify. Some of the biggest, repeat Big Game advertisers like Coca-Cola and Avocados from Mexico are staying on the bench this year. Some brands cite budget constraints while others indicate being unsure of what is politically correct during these confusing times. Getting political and taking a stand has always been a risk that can either pay off or backfire for brands. Taking a look back on Budweiser’s ‘Typical Americans’ triumph and Pepsi’s ‘Live for Now Moments Anthem’ failure, it can go either way. But whether red or blue, the country is more divided than ever right now and consumers want politics and brandstanding out of the commercials. While 60% of consumers agree that they are alright with social justice ads during the Big Game, the favorability varies greatly. For instance, helping veterans ranking highest (+77) and abortion right ranking lowest (+4). Rather than alienating a percentage of the Big Game audience, unify with humor instead. Bernie Sanders memes take over the Internet A recent example was the viral Bernie Sanders meme that took over every social channel in mere hours. The divided country may disagree on Bernie’s policy suggestions, but they sure agreed that Bernie and his mittens were prime meme material. A simple photograph turned into something more and brands and consumers alike turned Bernie into a non-holiday Elf on the Shelf. Sharing their favorites with friends, Bernie memes provided laughs and smiles for everyone, political affiliation aside. 4. “We’re all in this together” is overused. A phrase that once made us think ‘High School Musical’ now makes us think ‘ugh, not another duplicate pandemic TV spot.’ Arguably the most overused phrase in 2020 had great intentions to make consumers feel unified in the fight against COVID-19. But once every grocery store, shoe brand, software company and shampoo manufacturer jumped on the bandwagon, consumers started to get irritated with this repetitive, similar-sounding script. In fact, 41% of consumers were ready for brand messaging to stay away from the phrase ‘unprecedented times’ and move their messaging away from the pandemic. We are all in this together, but after 10+ months of pandemic living, consumers don’t need another reminder. Instead, they need escapism through humor. Just days before the Big Game, most TV spots have already been produced. They’re in a 3-point stance waiting to hear the words, “Hike!” Those companies who elected to use humor will likely rate the highest in USA Today’s Ad Meter but of course, they ultimately want to raise awareness of their product or service and get a good ROI on their $5 million media spend. Not to mention the millions of dollars in talk-value that is inherent in funny TV spots. If that’s not enough, these humorous commercials have the opportunity to make one billion viewers laugh, which in turn can help lower stress and improve their immune systems. What brand would not want to be associated with that? At Hoffman York, we’ll continue to do our part to ensure a strong creative idea is a cornerstone in all we do.

Progressive rock was not the sole province of British hippie bands like Yes, and the self-indulgent noodling of ‘virtuoso’ groups such as Emerson Lake and Palmer. It was also identified with artists like Ian Anderson, and his band Jethro Tull, who, while no slouches in the hair department, trafficked in barbed literary diatribes, and dense, oftentimes baroque-sounding instrumental arrangements, dripping with irony.That the band was named after a 19th century agronomist was almost beside the point. Jethro Tull is no more. Yet, five decades into his career, Anderson’s new solo album, Homo Erraticus sounds more like classic Tull than anything he has recorded since the late 1970s, when the band moved out of its comfort zone, and started experimenting with synthesizers and both folk and more straightforward hard rock. Hearing the disc made me wonder about Anderson’s retirement of the band’s name. Since Jethro Tull’s second album in 1969, the only member of the band aside from Anderson who has been a constant was lead guitarist Martin Barre. Barre has never appeared on an Ian Anderson solo album, so is this the distinction between Tull and Anderson solo, considering that in both incarnations Anderson writes all the music and leads the production? I put this question to Anderson. “While Martin is certainly the most important and longstanding other band member over the years, the group has always been four, five or six members making up the collective effort,” he told me. “Making some 28 members in all since 1968. My current musicians have all played as members of the ‘Jethro Tull’ band in the last few years and are every bit as accomplished and experienced in the repertoire as any of their peers. But my final years as a musician are better spent, for me, as Ian Anderson rather than under the name of a historical character whose identity we plundered over the years. It is as much for the respect of Mr. Tull the agriculturalist as anything else that I choose to lay the name to rest as the identity of the current and future touring and recording band.” Perhaps unintentionally, Homo Erraticus demonstrates just how absolute Ian Anderson’s control over Tull really was. While most of the backing musicians on the disc may have played under the Jethro Tull name, none of them was a part of the band during the 1970s period evoked by much of the music on the new disc. Lead guitarist Florian Opahle’s work sounds so similar to Barre on all but one or two tracks, that it leaves the impression that this is the deliberate result of Anderson’s direction. Homo Erraticus is a full return to the classic Tull sound, after decades of musical experimentation and meandering by the vocalist. He first departed in the late 1970s, with a series of albums focusing keenly on the folk music sound of the British Isles and Western Europe. Jethro Tull then tried their hands at a more electro-pop sound, with mixed results that included Anderson’s first solo effort in 1983 and the album that is certainly the least popular with their fans, 1984’s Under Wraps. Ian Anderson suffered a throat injury shortly thereafter, immediately robbing his voice of much of its richness and range. It has degraded ever since, and the contrast in Anderson’s singing between 2014 and 1974 has never been more keenly felt than on this album. Many of the tracks are crying out for the younger Anderson’s melodious singing. Anderson seems to have tacitly acknowledged this, having brought on a supplemental lead singer, Ryan O’Donnell, on his last album and keeping him around for this one. 1988 saw Tull’s Crest of a Knave win the Grammy award for “Best Heavy Metal Album,” bringing many chuckles to the lips of Jethro Tull devotees, and a good deal of scorn from metalheads, including the band, Metallica, whose …And Justice for All album was the heavy favorite to win the award and, far more “heavy metal.” After a few more hard rock albums, done in somewhat tongue-in-cheek fashion as a response to the Grammy, Tull’s studio catalogue was, for the most part, completed with a pair of albums blending Eastern music with the band’s signature flute-and-guitar mix. Meanwhile, Ian Anderson was continuing his musical journey in his solo career, meandering through modern classical, New Age, and folk music, before returning to a more rock-oriented sound with 2012’s Thick as a Brick 2, the sequel to Jethro Tull’s hugely successful concept album of 1972. Yet as much as that record harkened back to Tull’s early days, Homo Erraticus is a much fuller return to Jethro Tull’s signature sound. The first nine tracks of Homo Erraticus are snapshots of British history, from the pre-historic crossing of the ice bridge to the Isles, through the arrival of the Romans, the dominance of Christianity, the rise and fall of the British Empire, the post-war/post-colonial era, up to the present day. One striking feature of these songs is the extent to which Anderson depicts England as being acted upon, rather than being an innovator, in charge of its own history. This is not apologia, but rather Ian Anderson’s attempt to draw a picture of what made the United Kingdom. Not until the last song in the “Chronicles” section of the album, “Pax Britannica” is Britain fully presented as an independent entity, charting its own destiny. Interestingly, until that point, even the historical images are punctuated by repeated reference to contemporary American pop culture. But those images are not presented, as they so often are, as a sort of American cultural imperialism, but rather a welcome bit of input, helping to give color to what might be an otherwise more bland Britain. There is no implied criticism of the US in the spread of mass culture, but, as Homo Erraticus moves into a grim assessment of contemporary politics, and even a coming apocalypse, Anderson sees the decline of Western civilization as afflicting the entire Western world, not just an ailing UK. Yet, even there, his vision has a hopeful tinge, suggesting the possibility of rebirth, rather than a simple end to history. Jethro Tull fans won’t be surprised that Anderson has the end of the world on his mind. On top of whatever grim, yet commonplace, assessments of climate change he might have, he has a familial connection to the latest pop culture apocalypse craze: the zombie meme. Anderson’s son-in-law is, after all, Andrew Lincoln, the lead actor in the hit television series, The Walking Dead. But I was a bit surprised by its appearance on Homo Erraticus. Aside from the explicit mention of The Walking Dead and Lincoln’s “Officer Rick” character in one track, Anderson’s final apocalyptic vision in the last track, “Cold, Dead Reckoning” also calls a similar vision to mind. Yet, when I met Anderson in 2010, just before Lincoln’s wildly successful series began, both he and his wife, Shona expressed their bewilderment at the popular fascination with zombies. So, I asked him if his feeling about this pop culture phenomenon had changed. “It’s not the zombie thing that appeals to me,” he told me. “Just that, along with much excellent US TV drama writing – True Detective is a recent one – where improbable or utterly fanciful story lines are created to allow for morality tales to be told. And then, there’s Shakespeare….” Indeed, the morality tale is a feature of Homo Erraticus. It’s something Ian Anderson has tried before over the years, with the original Thick as a Brick, 1973’s A Passion Play, and in various tracks on other albums, including the seminal Aqualung among others. But as entertaining, and sometimes insightful, as some of those journeys of lyrical philosophizing were, the sum total of Homo Erraticus presents a much more mature view of the world. Not only are the lyrics more serious. They show a depth of what one might be tempted to call wisdom, acquired over years of world travel and observation. The added depth is needed, too. The mirth and humor that often punctuated Anderson’s earlier writing is almost completely absent on Homo Erraticus. The album is not always grim; there are many positive images and messages there. But where, on A Passion Play, a young Ian Anderson seemed to feel forced to insert a bit of absurdity in the middle (it didn’t work very well) here he is confident enough to omit that ingredient. What we’re left with is a fully-realized work, an exposition by one of the elders of prog rock, who is willing to embrace that role as he advances into his sixties. “We live in a world of acute inequalities,” Anderson told me. “Seven billion people on planet Earth seeking their rightful chance to enjoy an equal share of our so-called civilized wealth does not compute in terms of existing resources. Who are we to deny the underdeveloped countries their right? But seven billion air conditioners, family cars, washing machines, freezers and so on will exacerbate climate change even more. Wouldn’t we all rather be living on a planet with 3 billion – not the 9 billion that will be the case in 40 years? Educate girls and give women equal rights in every country, regardless of religion and cultural bigotry. Let them have the educated choice in family size and planning. Make capitalism an ethical ‘religion.’ Benevolent capitalism. Instill personal morality in the hearts and minds of our young. Less greed. Less ….stuff. We can do this the easy way. Or we can do it the hard way.” Some of us, myself included, might question if “benevolent capitalism” is possible. But the principle he is striving for stands on its own. And, clearly, Homo Erraticus envisions that we are going to do it the hard way. Yet that vision remains one of starting over, a reset that will be apocalyptic, but which will also give humanity a second chance, equipped with experience that would help us do better next time. Ultimately, what comes through most on this LP is the continued relevance of an artist whom critics once considered to be a relic from a bygone age. It’s obvious why Ian Anderson, and his former band, have been able to maintain such a vast and devoted fanbase.
Our generation absolutely loves internet challenges. From the Tide Pod challenge (yea, it was real) to the ice bucket challenge, people love to take to social media and share videos of themselves doing crazy things. The latest social media craze comes from Netflix’s new Sandra Bullock flick, Bird Box, which if you haven’t watched yet, grab some popcorn and sit on the couch. Some compare it as a better version of A Quiet Place. I personally haven’t seen A Quiet Place, but Bird Box did keep me on the edge of my seat the entire two hours. The plot of the Netflix movie (without giving away too many spoilers) follows Bullock’s character in a post-apocalyptic world, who along with a boy and girl, navigates a river blindfolded to get away from a supernatural entity that will kill them if they look at it. It’s not too much of a stretch to see how the Netflix film inspired so many to perform everyday tasks with a blindfold on and dub it the Bird Box Challenge. One teenager thought it was a good idea to blindfold himself and drive. Another tried the meme challenge with his kids and ended up slamming his baby’s face into the wall. The streaming service has had enough of this, and quite frankly, doesn’t want any bad PR from people hurting themselves. They even released this statement to their social media users, urging them that the dangerous trend should stop. Netflix Warns Viewers Not to Partake in Birdbox Challenge The popular movie has been a hit for Netflix, creating a new record of accounts streaming the horror movie during the first week of release. Over 45 millions Netflix accounts tuned in. That’s more than what Black Mirror’s Bandersnatch episode pulled in. My take: if you are going to take part in the challenge do something safe, and for goodness sake, take it seriously. There are 1.1 million blind people in the United States that have to deal with this “challenge” daily. It wouldn’t hurt to try to do something simple with the intention of understanding someone else’s perspective on life. This article was originally published on January 3, 2019.

To learn more about this project, check out our deep dive of DrunkDoge. What Is DrunkDoge (DRUNK)? DrunkDoge is a community-driven Binance Smart Chain (BSC) meme token that wants to fight back against scams and rug pulls. For this purpose, it employs self-proclaimed “state-of-the-art tokenomics that include anti-whale, anti-bot, anti-snipe, and anti-dump mechanics to prevent the alcohol supply [sic].” DrunkDoge incentivizes holding on to the coins by imposing a fee of 2% on every buy transaction and up to 28% on every sell. These fees then get partially redistributed to existing coin holders. Who Are the Founders of DrunkDoge? DrunkDoge is another meme coin that has been started by an anonymous team. As is often the case, this can backfire at some point. However, for meme coins, community effort and tokenomics structure matter much more than a doxxed team, which is why you can find examples of both successes and failures of anonymously founded meme coins. What Makes DrunkDoge Unique? Like many other meme coins, DrunkDoge relies on penalizing sellers to incentivize holding the coin and driving the price up. However, DrunkDoge included a few clever features that set it apart from its meme coin competitors. The anti-dump protection includes a one-hour, two-hour and six-hour cooldown period after each sell to block coin dumping. Another is the anti-whale protection, something that other meme coins have implemented, which restricts sellers from selling no more than 3% of the entire liquidity. DrunkDoge also employs an anti-bot feature that imposes a 30-second cooldown after each buy. Lastly, the anti-snipe protection restricts buyers to 0.3% of the total supply. Besides that, DrunkDoge also plans to donate to animal shelters and help dogs in need. Check out Dogecoin (DOGE) – the OG meme coin with the highest market cap.

Get the latest crypto news and latest trading insights with the CoinMarketCap blog. How Many DrunkDoge (DRUNK) Coins Are There in Circulation? DrunkDoge has a maximum supply of 1 billion DRUNK. 6% of the entire supply has been held back for the team and marketing, with 50% of all tokens in circulation having been burned at launch. DrunkDoge uses a special transaction fee model with 8% total fees when buying. 6% go to the developer wallet for marketing and utility, and 2% are redistributed to holders. When selling, DrunkDoge utilizes a tiered transaction fee model: - The first sell incurs a 13% fee, of which 6% go to marketing/utility and 7% is redistributed to holders; - Selling another time carries a 20% fee, 6% for marketing/utility, and 14% for redistribution; - Selling a third time is taxed at 27%, 6% for marketing/utility, and 21% for redistribution; - Selling a fourth time has a total tax of 34%, 6% for marketing/utility, and 28% for redistribution./ How Is the DrunkDoge Network Secured? DrunkDoge is a BEP-20 token on the Binance Smart Chain. It lists no security audit of its token on the website. DrunkDoge lives on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC), the favorite blockchain new meme coins are launched on due to its low fees and fast transaction times. DrunkDoge plans to ride the tails of its big brother Dogecoin in that regard. BSC is secured through the proof-of-stake consensus mechanism. 21 validators are elected every 24 hours to validate transactions and maintain blockchain security. These validators have to stake a certain amount of BNB coins with Binance to be eligible to do so. When Will DrunkDoge Trading Begin? DrunkDoge trading began on July 16, 2021. So far, its all-time high has been $0.00158. Can DrunkDoge Hit $0.01? Given the, for a meme coin, comparably low total supply of one billion DRUNK, the intricate fee system when selling DRUNK and the fact that DrunkDoge is based on the ridiculously popular Dogecoin, hitting $0.01 could be possible. Of course, this is an extremely ambitious goal for this coin and anything but guaranteed, but it will ultimately depend on the community effort and the team’s marketing. Where Can You Buy DrunkDoge (DRUNK)? DRUNK is available on Pancakeswap (V2). If you want to learn more about how to start buying cryptocurrencies, you can read more in our guide.

Quick Hits: Tales of Disconnection, Free Books, and Tips for Aspiring WritersAugust 16th, 2010 · 15 comments Update (8/17/2010): I forgot to mention that a loyal reader has set up a Facebook fan page for Study Hacks. I’m not on Facebook, but I can still view this page and the comments you leave, and I really appreciate the support. If you’re a fan, consider joining (liking? friending?) the page as a way to spread the word to your own network of friends. Quick hits is an occasional feature where I take a breather between my epic big idea posts to share ideas, ask questions, and in general provide a catch-all place for me to catch up with you. Tales of Disconnection Outdoors and Out of Reach. This latest entry in the New York Times’ meme-spawning series on how data overload affects our brain, follows five neuroscientists on an offline wilderness rafting trip. My favorite quote comes near the end of the article, when a hyper-connected lab director realizes: “I have a colleague who says that I’m being very impolite when I pull out a computer during meetings. I say: ‘I can listen.’ … Maybe I’m not listening so well. Maybe I can work at being more engaged.” Off-Line, I Reconnect. This article, from the Montreal Gazette, follows a freelance writer who works from home with no Internet service. He makes do by going online once a day, for about an hour, at a local Internet cafe, where he checks his e-mail and looks up any needed information. My favorite quote: “Once I eliminated the Internet from my apartment, I rediscovered the joys of reading books (not blogs). It’s a feeling I haven’t experienced this intensely since my adolescence, when I devoured books, like a human sponge with a lust for everything.” The launch of How to Be a High School Superstar is underway. (As always, if you like my philosophy and either know someone in high school, or are curious about how to build an interesting and engaging life — at any age — please consider buying a copy.) You may have seen my guest post on Tim Ferriss’ blog. I have three more blockbuster guest posts lined up, so stay tuned. In the meantime, check out this fantastic series on interestingness (a key concept from High School Superstar) at Justine Musk’s blog, Tribal Writer. Last Friday, I sent out my first batch of signed books to readers who helped me spread the word about High School Superstar. Their book-earning actions included calling members of their school board to recommend my book, adding the title to a class reading list, and designing me an an excellent poster. I have a couple more copies to give away; if you’re interested, do something cool to help spread the word, and then send me a report on what you did. Finally, if you bought a copy of the book and enjoyed it, please consider leaving a review on Amazon.com, as this helps other students decide whether or not the book is right for them. Interested in publishing a book? My sharp literary agent, Laurie Abkemeier, became Internet-famous for the “Agent Obvious Tip of the Day” feature on her twitter feed, which corrects obvious mistakes that (too) many aspiring writers make. This wisdom has now been captured in a clever new iPhone app called Agent Obvious. If you’re trying to break into the world of publishing, listen to Laurie: trust me, she knows what she’s talking about!
The question was innocent, posed in the form of a meme on Facebook. The choice of two pills, red or blue. One instantly gave you ten million dollars while the other allowed you to go back in time to fix your mistakes. My first instinct was to chose the ten million. I could pay off our small (but large to us) debt and fly the two of us to England to visit L. We could also afford to go on the big family holiday to Cuba this winter. We could paint our whole apartment, get Jeremy a better computer, and enjoy the rest of our lives. Then I pictured Emma’s arms. We moved to a big apartment complex when Emma was eight years old and Jeremy was six. We’d loved our old apartment, which was a lot more like a townhouse, but it was only two bedrooms. The new apartment had three bedrooms plus the building had a daycare on the ground floor. At first it seemed like a good move then both kids started getting bullied. Rumours flew around that Emma and Jeremy were having sex with each other. One girl even claimed to see them through Emma’s bedroom window (ignoring the fact she’d need either scaffolding or the ability to fly in order to do so). I told the kids the rumour was too weird to be believed. I was wrong. Years later, Emma was introduced to a friend of a friend and the first comment he made was “aren’t you the girl who had sex with her brother?”. I had to pull Emma off the elementary school bus and sent her via public transit instead while Jeremy was the target of homophobic slurs. If I could go back in time, I would have stayed put in our small apartment, despite the lack of kids their ages. Then there’s their father. He still contacts me and attempts a relationship with Jeremy. He comments that he doesn’t understand why I speak to him, mentioning repeatedly how much of an asshole he is. He recounts snippets of conversation with a friend where he admits that he deliberately lied to his father to turn him against me. My ex doesn’t understand why Emma won’t speak to him or even look at him if she runs into him, why she blocked him on the phone and on Facebook. He understands that she’s mad at him for things he did in the past but claims he doesn’t remember any of them so it shouldn’t count. “Quick! Tell me what you had for breakfast on June 21, 2002. Tell me! You can’t can you. It’s not fair for her to expect me to remember stuff that happened that long ago.” As if his abuse of her is on par with what I had for breakfast. One of the worst incidences I remember involved a trip to Wal-Mart. Their father took them to McDonalds and settled them down with a snack while explaining that there was this woman who wouldn’t leave him alone, so he had to lie to her in order to get her to stop calling. He called her repeatedly through their whole visit, leaving them in the restaurant while he went outside to smoke and lie. Both kids insisted he was gone for ages, they were all alone in the store and didn’t know what to do. Then he jaywalked with them across a local highway, with traffic coming from both directions. The kids cried when they told me about it; Emma tearfully describing feeling the wind from a passing car against her feet as they jumped off the road. There was a large, clearly marked intersection not ten feet away. My ex claimed he didn’t see it. Emma begged for supervised visits, she’d feel so much safer with someone else there to make their Dad behave. Jeremy agreed. I found a local place that offered supervised visits. They would be held in a room with someone taking notes. Emma wasn’t fond of that idea, she liked going out and doing things with her Dad. Maybe Gramma could go on the visits with them. Their Dad was furious at the thought. He would not do supervised visits. If she insisted, he’d never see her again. I wanted to step in and tell him it was an adult decision and had nothing to do with the kids. Emma begged me not to. She needed her Dad and begged me to not set up the supervised visits. I backed down then cringed as he forced her to apologize as if she’d done something wrong. If I could go back in time I would have stood up and told him “no” more. I would have insisted on the supervised visits. Maybe he would have disappeared, maybe not, but supervision would have helped. And there was Jeremy whose favourite colour was pink. Zie loved stuffed animals and dinky cars… Barbie and Bob the Builder… playing dress up and driving toy vehicles outside. I was bullied all through school. Not teased, bullied. For years I didn’t have a single friend at school and for the handful of years I did, she was too scared to let anyone know we were friends for fear of being ostracized. I’ve been chased down by kids on bikes, spat on, had my coat flushed down the toilet. I’ve hidden from gangs of kids behind car wheels and in stores. I checked my assigned seat daily for spit (and often found it). And I adamantly did not want my children to go through the same experiences. I didn’t ban Jeremy from taking zir stuffies to school but made it very obvious zie’d be teased if zie did. When zie complained that the boys clothing section was boring and didn’t have any good colours, I agreed and said it was disappointing… ignoring zir looks toward the girl’s section. I definitely didn’t let zir know Lego had sparkly pink and purple kits, even though I knew zie would be over the moon with excitement over them. If I could go back in time, I’d let the kids chose the colour of their shared room, even though I know Jeremy would have chosen pink. I’d have assured Jeremy that zie could have a pink shirt. I’d have bought the damn Lego and watched Jeremy’s over the moon excitement as zir favourite colours and Lego combined to be the best present ever! Then I listened to my friends, two of which have lost (and regained) their children through their local children’s protection services this past year. Both solely because they are supporting their child’s gender identity. A third is struggling, being supported by children’s services but floundering with the legal system, also because she’s supporting her child’s gender identity. The main reason I was worried about pushing my ex too far was the fear he’d get angry enough to retaliate; angry enough to lie repeatedly and often enough to get someone to finance him through court against me. Which is exactly what he did when Emma was thirteen… leading to years of living with my parents and in group homes… and culminating in self harm and a diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder. My friends are fighting in a society where Laverne Cox is winning awards and “I am Jazz” is on the air. They’re fighting while gender conversion therapy is being banned and we have access to a parents of transgender children group with over two thousand members. We moved to the apartment complex in 2004, which means I’d have to go back to 2003. These days my ex is subdued. His health is poor, he struggles to walk and he’s had multiple strokes and heart attacks. When autism was brought up, he brushed it aside with a laugh and a comment that we always knew Jeremy was different. Court in 2003 was a different story. He was younger, angry, and vindictive. He insisted my diagnosis of apraxia (an oral motor sequencing disorder which causes delayed speech) was wrong. He wanted blood tests, an MRI, a CAT scan, and an EKG; despite the fact no doctor had ever requested any of them. He told the court I was putting the children’s lives at risk by refusing medical help and insisted he needed joint custody to ensure they got the help the needed. The court ruled on a second opinion with a local and well respected paediatrician. My ex agreed then was furious with the doctor, who not only confirmed the diagnosis but informed me that my ex wanted him to say Jeremy’s speech delay was a result of my poor parenting skills. My ex felt his personal attacks against me were supposed to be private and confidential. I’m assuming his lawyer convinced him not to ask for a third opinion. We live in the Greater Toronto Area. The only doctor in the area who would have taken Jeremy’s case (at the time) would have been Kenneth Zucker. I know for a fact he would have had no difficulty blaming my “poor parenting skills” for Jeremy’s feminine behaviour. It wouldn’t have mattered to my ex that he suggested giving Jeremy zir first Barbie because, in the end, none of his actions were about the kids, they were aimed at getting back at me for daring to leave. The kids were casualties and pawns in his efforts to hurt me and Kenneth Zucker would have helped him right along. So I’d take the ten million dollars because Jeremy’s sleeping in the room beside me wearing zir favourite lavender pyjamas. Because we’re going to paint zir room purple this weekend and put up purple floral curtains. Because our lives might not be perfect but we’ve made it. I’ll work on the future instead and leave the past where it is.

Shiba Inu is living life king size as the market is moving towards an upward trajectory. The coin breached the $1billion in market cap on Sunday and also knocked out a zero from its trade. The meme-currency rose close to 40% in the day's trade and is now settled to around 25% in the indices. The coin is expected to shoot up further as large investments have begun to pour in. The International Business Times had previously predicted in July that Shiba Inu would rise between 33 to 50% during the first week of August and our prediction turned out to be accurate. However, soon after wiping out a zero from its trade, the coin again added the zero back as it fell from +40% to +25% and is now trading at $0.0000082 and is moving closely enough to knock out the zero again. Data shows that millions of Shiba Inu coins were purchased in the last two days, giving hope to investors that the coin is still alive and thriving in the market. Shiba Inu had previously reached a market cap of $10 billion during early 2021 but plummeted during the crypto market crash. If the coin delivers the same growth rate for two years in a row, it is poised to touch the 1 cent mark by 2026. However, considering the market conditions around the world due to the pandemic, a steady growth trajectory seems to be a pipe dream. Shiba Inu seems to be on the right track and is listed on trading apps such as eToro among others. The developers are working towards listing the coin on other apps and the announcements would be made soon. Also, an industry insider leaked information that Amazon might consider to accept Shiba Inu as legal payment on the website in 2022 and the team is working to finalize two coins out of four, which is SHIB, Matic, HOKK and AMP. The developers have also launched Shiba Swap making it easier for investors to buy the coin directly from their website and not depend on third-party apps. August 2021 has undoubtedly been a turning point for Shiba Inu after trading in red since May 2021 and it looks bullish for a comeback. Shiba Inu was trading at $0.0000082 at the time of publishing and is up 24.18% in the days trade.
Investing and trading in stocks is all the rage these days. With countless new people entering the space once dominated by Wall Street, there are some rules governing the market that people might not know about. In recent weeks, we have witnessed unprecedented volatility in stocks like AMC and GameStop, which has led to trading halts. In this article, we will explain how stock trading halts and market circuit breakers work. Speculation that Robinhood has halted trading in $AMC is not accurate. Earlier today, the NYSE implemented a volatility trading pause of $AMC. Learn more about these kinds of halts here: https://t.co/y7UJwFKGCd— Robinhood (@RobinhoodApp) June 2, 2021 Last week, many traders took to Twitter and Reddit to complain that the Robinhood investing app had blocked trading on AMC during its massive short squeeze. This is a fair concern, as this is what happened earlier this year when the first Reddit-fueled short squeeze attack brought GameStop to nearly $500/share before trading was limited. What happened last week, and is likely to happen again in these meme stocks, was not a limitation of trading by any one company. The stock market has rules to limit volatile moves in either direction. What is a Trading Halt on a stock? A stock can be halted for a number of reasons. A stock trading halt is a temporary pause of activity for a particular stock or security at one or more exchanges. Different reasons for halts include news events (like earnings releases), a technical issue, regulatory concerns, or even to correct an order imbalance. Halts are also triggered by severely volatile movements, leading to circuit breakers. How do Stock Market Circuit Breakers work? Stock market exchanges can also halt trading to stop panic selling thanks to new regulations put in place following the "Flash Crash" of 2010. Market-wide circuit breakers come into effect when the benchmark S&P 500 Index drops 7% or more in a single day. Level 1 circuit breakers come into effect with 7% declines, with Level 2 hitting when declines top 13%, and Level 3 is triggered on days when the market drops 20%. Level 1 and 2 circuit breakers will halt trading for 15 minutes, but will not halt trading after 3:25 p.m. ET. After a Level 3 breach, exchanges will remain halted for the rest of the trading day. How do Individual Stock Circuit Breakers work? There are also rules in place for individual stock circuit breakers. The exchanges and the SEC got together and came up with the Limit Up/Limit Down Plan. Please take a look: On May 31, 2012, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved, on a pilot basis, a National Market System Plan, known as the Limit Up/Limit Down (“LULD”) Plan, to address extraordinary market volatility. The Plan was approved as a permanent rule on April 11, 2019. The LULD Plan is administered by the LULD Operating Committee, comprising a representative from each of the Participants. The current Participants are the Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc., Cboe BYX Exchange, Inc., Cboe EDGX Exchange, Inc., Cboe EDGA Exchange, Inc., Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., Investors Exchange LLC, Long-Term Stock Exchange, NASDAQ BX, Inc., NASDAQ PHLX LLC, The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, New York Stock Exchange LLC, NYSE American LLC, NYSE Arca, Inc., NYSE Chicago, Inc., and NYSE National, Inc. The Plan and any amendments to it are filed with and approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission in accordance with Section 11A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Plan is designed to prevent trades in NMS Stocks from occurring outside specified price bands, which are set at a percentage level above and below the average reference price of a security over the preceding five-minute period. The percentage level is determined by a security’s designation as a Tier 1 or Tier 2 security. Tier 1 comprises all securities in the S&P 500, the Russell 1000 and select Exchange Traded Products (ETPs). Tier 2 comprises all other NMS securities, except for rights and warrants, which are specifically excluded from coverage. The Plan applies during regular trading hours of 9:30 am ET - 4:00 pm ET. Calculation of Price Bands The price bands, consisting of a Lower and Upper Price Band for each NMS Stock, are calculated by the two SIPs – CTA and Nasdaq UTP. The SIPs calculate upper and lower price bands by applying a formula to a Reference Price, which is the arithmetic mean price of Eligible Reported Transactions over the prior five minute period. (The first Reference Price of the day is either the primary market’s opening price or the primary market’s previous day’s closing price/last sale when opening on a quote. If no eligible trades have occurred in the prior five minutes, the previous Reference Price remains in effect. The Reference Price is updated after 30 seconds only if a new Reference price would be least 1% away from the current Reference Price. The Price Bands are calculated by multiplying the current Reference Price by the applicable Percentage Parameter and then adding or subtracting that value from the Reference Price and rounded to the nearest penny. Price Band = (Reference Price)+/- ((Reference Price)x (Percentage Parameter)) Operation of Price Bands When the National Best Bid (Offer) is below (above) the Lower (Upper) Price Band, the SIPs disseminate the National Best Bid (Offer) with an indicator identifying it as unexecutable. Trading immediately enters a Limit State if the National Best Offer (Bid) equals but does not cross the Lower (Upper) Price Band. When a Limit State occurs, the SIPs indicate the National Best Bid (Offer) as a Limit State Quotation. Trading exits a Limit State if, within 15 seconds of entering the Limit State, all Limit State Quotations are executed or canceled in their entirety. If the market does not exit a Limit State within 15 seconds, the primary listing exchange declares a five-minute Trading Pause. The Trading Pause may be extended for another five minutes. Thereafter, all markets may resume trading. If a security is in a Trading Pause during the last 10 minutes of regular trading hours, the primary listing exchange will not reopen trading and will attempt to execute a closing transaction using its established closing procedures. A Straddle State occurs when the National Best Bid (Offer) is below (above) the Lower (Upper) Price Band and the NMS Stock is not in a Limit State. For example, assume the Lower Price Band for an NMS Stock is $9.50 and the Upper Price Band is $10.50, such NMS stock would be in a Straddle State if the National Best Bid were below $9.50, and therefore non-executable, and the National Best Offer were above $9.50 (including a National Best Offer that could be above $10.50). If an NMS Stock is in a Straddle State and trading in that stock deviates from normal trading characteristics, the primary listing exchange may declare a Trading Pause for that NMS Stock. A lot of traders are quick to blame Robinhood and other trading platforms when halts occur, and it is fair to be skeptical, but in most cases halts were ordered by the stock exchange. What happened in January 2021 with GameStop, AMC, and other meme stocks was the result of a shortage of shares. Many r/WallStreetBets traders feel like their trip to the moon was cut short by Robinhood and their market maker Citadel Securities, and it is totally right to feel that way. They refused to allow trading. What makes trading halts different is that they are built into the stock exchanges to prevent volatile panic selling. In the absence of the Uptick Rule, which prevented the relentless short selling of modern-day algorithmically-driven dark pools and hedge funds, meme stock longs are still in a very precarious spot. It is important to know what is happening, and I hope that this guide will help you get through any volatile move in a stock or the overall market. While it is entirely possible that your broker or trading app has limited trading on your favorite stock, it is also possible that the rules of the stock market have enforced a temporary volatility cooldown. This article is only meant for educational purposes, and should not be taken as investment advice. Please consider your own investment time horizon, risk tolerance, and consult with a financial advisor before acting on this information.
It wasn’t completely by chance that my movie viewing began heading down an apocalyptic path when current events started getting serious. Some people, it seems, escape into meme-ready comfort TV, and others stare hard into the abyss with rigorously dismal cinema. I’m generally one of the latter types, and so it seemed to make sense to write about what I’ve been watching and I guess, maybe, to try to figure out why I’m putting myself through this. While I haven’t been watching any of the more directly topical blockbusters like Contagion or 12 Monkeys (though believe me, I think the latter movie’s a scorcher — the first I don’t remember well), I think that the best of the movies I’ve been watching – or even the less good ones – reflect our reactions to fear, uncertainty, tragedy, and utter lack of control in ways that, if they’re not necessarily easy to watch, can be valuable to think about. And the worst — at least one has a bootleg Terminator in it, but is nevertheless thought-provoking in its way. While I had intended to do this as one post, I’m going to split it out into a couple as these reviews have run a bit long. What can I say, I over-write when I get antsy. Spoilers are to be found throughout, if you care about that sort of thing. Anyway, speaking of figures not known for their brevity… The Turin Horse (2011) Dir. Béla Tarr It seemed like a no-brainer, with the official onset of a global quarantine, to reach for whatever movie I could find by the most canonically morose living director in world cinema – Hungary’s Béla Tarr. I found The Turin Horse streaming, its relatively slim 2.5 hours marking the intentional end of Tarr’s filmmaking career and depicting, perhaps not coincidentally, the on-screen end of the world. The film derives its name from an anecdote about the latter-day life of Friedrich Nietzsche. The philosopher, traveling through Italy, reputedly saw a man beating a horse. Nietzsche threw himself on the horse to protect it, weeping. Taken home, he then uttered his last sane words: “Mutter, ich bin dumm” (“Mother, I am dumb”). This anecdote – retold at the beginning of Tarr’s film – is as oft-shared among readers of philosophy as the one about Kant’s precisely-timed daily walks through Königsberg, Jeremy Bentham’s practical-to-a-fault mummification, and those tales of any number of philosophers’ masturbatory habits each as unique as a snowflake. Scholars point out, however, that The Turin Horse story is apocryphal – it’s a bit too close to a fictional anecdote found in Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment, and there is little historical evidence to corroborate that it happened. It’s not hard to get why we keep telling it, though (or naming movies after it): Nietzsche was a man who saw atheism as an inescapable reaction to the modern world being demystified through science and reason, a world which now posed questions without viable answers, leaving those perceptive enough to appreciate the situation nothing but despair to grapple with. He believed that our most basic moral intuitions and social norms were false, and that to recognize them as such was to be set above those who believed, unquestioningly, in their universality. He was a philosopher preoccupied with the hideous anguish and, potentially, sublime beauty of an existence devoid of transcendence. In one final gesture of unmatched sensitivity, he collapsed at the tragedy of it all and never again spoke a word. (Nietzsche did, in fact remain sitting in a chair in complete silence for the final 10 years of his life). Whether or not it happened, the story seems to act as a capstone on the bleak, poetic irrationalism of his thought. To quote actor Gunnar Björnstrand, speaking to film critic Peter Cowie at the first screening of Ingmar Bergman’s The Silence: “Pretty strong stuff, isn’t it?” The stuff of Tarr’s final film is unfortunately not quite that strong. At the beginning, the haunting voice of the film’s occasional narrator recounts the final equine encounter of Nietzsche’s sane existence, then assures us that “of the horse, we know nothing.” We then see a horse, being driven by a rustic farmer against the backdrop of a landscape with an unyielding wind blowing (it doesn’t let up through the duration of the film). We wonder if maybe we’re watching a piece of philosophical fan-fic fleshing out the story of a semi-mythical bit player. It’s been done to excellent effect before, in literature (Pär Lagerkvist’s Barabbas) and film (Tom Stoppard’s Rozencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead). It seems as though we’re being set up to see this great historical victim of abuse, having been saved by a philosophical titan, going on to live out the rest of its life like the donkey in au hazard Balthazaar; a picture of innocence in a wretched world. In fact it’s not exactly clear if this is The Turin Horse we’re dealing with or merely a horse of a similar color. We see the horse occasionally throughout the movie, but most of the film is focused on the farmer and his daughter, living inside a small, sparse cabin. Day after day, the father wakes up in his long johns and the daughter mechanically dresses him. They saddle and unsaddle the horse. They do shots of brandy. She boils two potatoes and serves them each one. Everything they do, especially how they eat, has a ritualistic feel – the father scratches the skin off of his potato with one hand, smashes it and picks it apart, the daughter peels hers fastidiously with both hands. The characters gobble their respective potatoes while they are still steaming. The wind outside gets stronger. “Of the horse, we know nothing.” While Wikipedia pegs this movie as taking place in the 19th century (due presumably to the transportation, style of heating, living arrangements, etc.) it’s details like this almost alien mode of potato consumption that make me think the movie, in fact, takes place in a sort of timeless semi-reality – along the lines of the fabulistic nowhere of Kafka’s The Castle. (I suppose it’s possible that it could be a super specific cultural practice, but I can’t see Hungarian farmers of any era willfully burning the hell out of their mouths with every potato). This sense is bolstered by the fact that, as the wind continues to howl, the farmer and his daughter have only two encounters with other humans. In the first, a man shows up looking for brandy and explains to the farmer that the village no longer exists. The farmer appears unrattled. In the second, a bawdy dance macabre of gypsies show up attempting to spirit the daughter away; the father chases them off with an axe. The father and daughter are entirely unmoved from their routine despite evidence filtering down from all quarters that something big is happening. The horse, meanwhile, seems like a bellwether for the impending apocalypse – refusing to eat and otherwise acting out as the situation outside degenerates. On the final day, things change. They try to leave; it’s not wholly clear if they succeed and arrive in an identical cabin, or just return home. We see characteristically long, somber shots of the daughter staring out the window. The two try to light a lamp. It doesn’t work. Entropy, it seems, is signaling a victory. Fire no longer works, it slowly flickers out. In some of the movie’s most haunting scenes – confined to the last few minutes – only the howl of the wind is audible and the film cuts to absolute darkness. I’ve been putting a lot of thought into what the circumstances of the characters in this esoteric fable might mean. If we’re indeed seeing the abuser of the semi-historical Turin Horse cursed, as a stand-in for all banal tyrants, to remain in some loop of eternal reccurence, unwilling or unable to vary even minutely as things decay around him. Or if it’s a more broad meditation on our tendency to throw ourselves into ritual or keep our heads down and hope for the best, even as we’re watching things break down around us. Worthwhile topics for an art film of this type to explore, but I wish the movie would have been overall stronger. Which is to say that despite those captivating, long-running shots synonymous with the name Béla Tarr movie, a minimal plot made for philosophizing, and the ending’s staggering collapse into black (which is excellent), I don’t think this one touches his masterpiece, Werckmeister Harmonies. That one makes me sob like a baby every time I watch it, no exaggeration – it’s up there with Tokyo Story in terms of movies that can provoke such a reaction. I think it’s precisely because in Werckmeister – in addition to the film’s formal beauty — amid the ominous and Kafkaesque imagery, it’s about a search for transcendence. From the opening scene, Werckmeister grapples with hope in its cryptic, mystical way, whereas The Turin Horse ignores its possibility outright. I think in some ways the former approach is both more affecting and sadder. Even the score in The Turin Horse pales in comparison to Werckmeister; in Werckmeister, there’s a somberness and longing in composer Mihály Víg’s Badalamenti-meets-Philip Glass-style score that matches that of the characters. In The Turin Horse it leans too heavily on the Glass side, as repetitive as the characters’ existences, but not as powerful as their circumstances demand. This was an OK way for the world to end, but it wasn’t quite what I’d hoped for as the final statement from a talent as singular and significant as Tarr. Shocking Dark AKA Terminator 2 (1989) Dir. Bruno Mattei Right, so after all that going on about how I was watching movies about life and death (and mostly death), I’m writing up a schlockfest I’ve been meaning to write about for a minute that just so happens to be, at least marginally, an apocalypse thriller. It’s so much more, though. The release of Shocking Dark from Severin Films was one of the biggest deals of 2018 for Blu-ray collectors and it’s hard to think of a curio coming out from any distributor that has matched it since. The 1989 Bruno Mattei-directed, Claudio Fragasso/Rossella Drudi-penned film owes it’s notoriety to the fact that it is a work of copyright infringement so brazen that it had never gotten a release outside of continental Europe until Severin put it out. Its original release title, Terminator 2, and the accompanying cover/poster artwork, may give you a hint as to the nature of the grift at play that kept it confined to Europe, but this film’s disregard for trademarks is more than just skin deep. In the movie, an algal bloom or toxic cloud of some sort has rendered the Venice of the then-future early-’00s a toxic wasteland. A scientist and maybe some other people have disappeared into the catacombs built underneath the city – apparently to expunge the pollution. The surveillance cameras in the tunnels have stopped working. This leaves the Megaforce Marines, a military team dressed like dollar store action figures, to go on a search and rescue mission accompanied by Sam Fuller of the shadowy Tubular Corporation who just sort of shows up, and Dr. Sara Drumbull, a doctor of something from somewhere. Frequent Bruno Mattei leading lady and Demons star Geretta Geretta plays Koster, who distinguishes herself as the only member of the Marines with a consistent personality throughout the duration of her appearance. She plays it big. Like, R. Lee Ermey big – berating and trading racial barbs with her Italian cohort, going as far as to ask – in one particularly inspired bit of dialogue down in the sewer-like catacombs – what his countrymen eat to “make their shit smell so bad.” (To once again quote Gunnar Björnstrand, “pretty strong stuff, isn’t it?”) The smell of those catacombs is no human excreta, though. It is the stinky rubber monsters that are eating people, or wrapping them up in spiderwebs, or possibly turning them into other monsters – as is explained in one clunky line of kinda-sorta scientific dialogue – sandwiched in between interminable scenes of walking. Amid a monster attack here and there, the Marines end up finding the lost scientist’s daughter. Her face is affixed in sort of a pained contortion of fear, she whines constantly in an accent of indeterminate origin. She clutches Dr. Trumbull for safety and repeats her name every time anything threatening happens. So much so that if you watched this movie intending to drink every time a character said the name “Sara,” you would die of alcohol poisoning within a matter a minutes. At some point along the way we discover that Sam Fuller from the Tubular Corporation is actually an android, and the Tubular Corporation is, in fact, the samesuch corporate entity that destroyed the environment in the first place, intentionally, as part of an unnecessarily convoluted real estate scam. The kicker, though, is an introduction of a conveniently and inexplicably-placed time travel pod left by The Tubular Corporation, allowing Dr. Trumbull and her Sara-screaming sidekick to return to the pre-enviropocalyptic past. They warp back and are followed by android Sam Fuller, who lands in c. 2000 AD and stomps on a remote controlled car in a shout-out to the officially licensed Terminator. He then has half of his face blown off, to mimic the look of the officially licensed Terminator as much as one could possibly manage with no budget, barely any time, and a limited amount of skill. Just as the action leading up to it is basicaly a knockoff of Alien made within the same parameters. Which I think is the beauty of an artifact like this. I remember seeing an interview about 10 years ago with Luigi Montefiori AKA George Eastman, star of Anthropophagus and a few million other Italian genre films. He said that the Italian sci-fi movies of the era, unlike the horror movies, never really developed their own style because they were always knock-offs of U.S. movies. The more I see of these the more inaccurate that strikes me. This movie, Rats, and 2019, After the Fall of New York, are all way more similar to each other than they are to the contemporaneous U.S. science fiction films they intended to knock off. Watching these movies is almost like seeing the profitable elements of U.S. genre films filtered through a Five Obstructions-esque series of constraints. Concerns over intellectual property rights, of course, not being one of them — quite the opposite. It wasn’t a matter of needing to be original, but finding an original way to be unoriginal. Which is why this movie got me thinking what’s so exciting about seeing unauthorized, international takes on familiar properties like this. When something like this gets rediscovered it’s always a surefire hit, take for example the wave of interest in Turkish Star Wars probably about 15 years ago. It doesn’t even have to be fully bootleg. Even in cases where a contract was actually brokered, like with the Japanese TV series that casts Spider-Man as an alien who operates a giant Voltron-style kaiju robot (has that gotten a proper stateside release yet?) there’s a sort of surreal sense of disbelief seeing such familiar characters used in weird, unfamiliar ways. The same reason we’re drawn to bootleg action figures and knock-off Simpsons gear. It’s endlessly fascinating to see the way people can get things kind of right while getting them completely wrong. In a strange way, though, I think the impact of a movie like Shocking Dark has been blunted by the current technological moment. Advances in home digital filmmaking let basically anyone do their own lo-fi takes or mashups on whatever licensed property they please. My first time through Shocking Dark, I kept trying to think of it as I would have had I come across it 20 years ago. I couldn’t quite be as flabbergasted as I wanted to. Today, I can visit Vimeo and watch a pretty dead-on fan-fic “remake” of Robocop where the scene in which Robocop saves a woman by shooting her assailant in the crotch expands, or degenerates, into three minutes of Robocop shooting off the dicks of an advancing army of hoodlums. We see less labor-intensive labors of love like this all the time; Force Ghosts of pro-wrestlers cut into Star Wars and whatnot. The only recent thing I can think of that sets off my brain’s disbelief centers anymore is the re-shot Return of the Jedi ending featuring the real-life David Prowse under the Darth Vader mask, discussed in the documentary I Am Your Father, which is presumably hidden in an underground bunker to prevent Lucasfilm/Disney from eradicating it. Nothing else seems quite as shocking, and so Shocking Dark doesn’t watch quite like it would have. It’s still pretty wild, though. A film that was so sketchy its release had to be constrained to a continent where the film’s language wasn’t primarily spoken isn’t something you encounter every day. Severin did its usual great job of enhancing the Blu-Ray experience with add-on swag, in the form of a limited edition slipcase baring the bootleg Terminator 2 graphics from the original release. At the time the time the Blu-Ray came out, the story was that they would continue to sell until a studio hit them with a C&D. I don’t think it happened as movie studios, litigious as they remain, are probably a little too hip to the Streisand Effect to get goaded into sending a nastygram to a boutique indie outfit. It was a cool stunt though. The disc looks cool on the shelf, and if I ever have guests over — which is a rarity these days — I hope that they’ll be so distracted trying to figure out what the hell it is that they won’t even notice the more tasteless fare that I keep around, like my copy of The Sinful Dwarf, sitting nearby it. More interesting though are the special features — essential viewing for a movie like this as, if you’ve taken the time to watch it, you’ll doubtlessly want some context for what the hell could have possibly been going on when it was made. I personally find Claudio Fragasso’s takes on the films he wrote/directed in the era to be fascinating in general. His own rather ambivalent if not slightly tortured relationship with these movies gives a view into the contorted relationship between creativity and commerce, something I’ll get into more if I ever review Zombie 4: After Death. In the Shocking Dark interview with him and Drudi we get, expectedly, kind of a rundown of who knew what and how much when this hot slice of willful deception was being cooked up. Most of the responsibility for the borrowed Terminator is placed firmly in the lap of a duplicitous distributor. But at the very least Bruno Mattei had to know, right, because he was shooting a movie with a Terminator in it and he had to know that he, Bruno Mattei, wasn’t James Cameron? And while Fragasso claims that this one was the first and last flick he ever worked on with such disregard for if not the law in general, at least copyright law, didn’t Severin more recently put out The Night Killer, a Nightmare on Elm Street rip sold in Europe as The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3? It’s all so weird and confusing and I love it all. I wish I knew how much more of this stuff was actually floating around out there. The Geretta Geretta interview is likewise fascinating; in detailing her experience making this and other genre movies in Italy, she confirms that there was a lot of heart that went into them. It was a bunch of ex-pat actors doing the hell out of it because they thought any movie they were working on might be the one that broke big — and as outrageous as the final product may have been, I think that’s inspiring. Going back to the strange, confusing experience of seeing something like this back before the Internet demystified everything, I can’t help but think that somewhere in the U.S., maybe in like Iowa, there must have been a foreign exchange student who showed up at some middle school in 1989, with a story of having seen an as-yet non-existent Terminator 2 with all sorts of weird plot details. For this, s/he was mocked mercilessly. It had to have happened at least once, right? Consider yourself vindicated, kid — who or wherever you are. Next up … If you’ve read this far, you’ll be interested to know I’ve got a review of one of my favorite (and now, on re-watch, favoriter) Tarkovsky films in the works, as well as my very favorite George Romero movie. And maybe some others, though honestly I might have to shift gears on my movie viewing to light comedies because I am afraid too much of the type of thing I usually watch is starting to make me flip out. Anyway, if you dig this, follow me on Facebook or leave some love in the comments and maybe I’ll do these more often. Fiction should be coming out one of these days too … I think. Take care and stay safe.
2020 has been an unusual year in many ways, and there’s no doubt about it. The covid-19 pandemic has affected every aspect of our lives and businesses as well. From how we behave socially, to how we work and how companies all over the world operate- everything has changed. Migrating to a digital environment has become the only sensible option to stay in the market for businesses, and this had a huge impact on digital marketing strategies. 2021 has been no different, the change in lifestyle came along this year as well. More and more companies will have to move their operations online and employees will have to keep working remotely. This “new normal” makes digital marketing the savior for businesses to stay afloat, gain new customers, retain current ones, and keep generating revenue at the least. We’re about to dive deep into how digital marketing is evolving in 2021 in this article. So let’s get started. 1. Search Engine Optimization Search algorithms are constantly evolving and that makes search engine optimization a moving target. The change in lifestyle certainly won’t change the effectiveness of SEO, but only increased its worthiness in the current times with all the businesses moving online rapidly. We can’t say that COVID-19 won’t have lasting effects on SEO, but there are far more fundamental changes that will affect the world of SEO in the near future. As being the best SEO agency in Newyork, few SEO strategies that can prove to be helpful to all the businesses are: - On website SEO - SEO Ads on different platforms - Using more Long tail keywords - Using Alt tags, H1, H2 tags - PPC Advertising 2. PPC Advertising The good thing is that pay-per-click (PPC) advertising isn’t going anywhere even in 2021. If anything, highly targeted, highly efficient PPC campaigns will prove to be even more effective to digital marketers. As you build out your PPC strategy for 2021, keep in mind that according to Google Economic Impact, businesses get a $2 return for every $1 they to spend on Google Ads. While the underlying reason for that can be many—few choose to believe that PPC can be very effective. We’ve narrowed the focus to three PPC trends sure to make your focus is only on the most effective strategies: ● Always create and advertise Off-the-Topic Content to Build Brand Bias ● Turn Off Audience Network in Facebook Ads ● Keep an Advertising Slush Fund ready ● Remarket Your Long-Tail Keywords 3. Conversion Rate Optimization With the abundance of automation and new advertising channels, conversions are now more important than ever. And by applying CRO best practices and tuning every step of the funnel you can translate it into tremendous ROI. Now for those the term, CRO seems too technical, we will break it down into layman language. CRO basically means: ● Getting more visitors to your website ● Turning those visitors into revenue-generating sales leads. The best part about using CRO strategy is that its all about getting more out of the website traffic that you already have. It’s an opportunity to innovate–test, tweak, refine, and rebuild so that more people turn out as your customers. 4. Mobile Optimization According to a study, people spent 23 extra minutes on their smartphones in the year 2020, which means more people will be interfacing with your digital channels on mobile devices. In the year 2019, the U.S. recorded a mobile conversion for online shoppers of 1.53 percent which means, if your conversion funnels aren’t optimized for smartphones, you’re going to leak conversions and revenue. Make your apps or websites easy to use on a mobile phone and focus on giving the customer the best user experience. 5. Social Media Marketing We know what you’re thinking, social media is too crowded nowadays with constant change in demands, trends, controversies. But it’s also an ocean full of opportunities if you get the right use of it. The need to adapt quickly and precisely to the current trends is as urgent as ever, especially as new and powerful channels emerge. We have listed a few strategies that can help you increase your engagement and brand awareness. ● Product Giveaways ● Collaborations with influencers ● Meme trends ● Regular Q&A sessions 6. Paid Advertising As trends and consumer behavior evolve in 2021, so goes paid social media advertising. What we know for sure is that paid social continues to experience tremendous growth and revenue if done in the right way. The main question here is why are businesses so eager to commit a huge amount of their marketing budgets to paid social campaigns? It’s because paid social works for all. We have listed down a few mediums of paid advertisement that can boost your business in 2021. ● Google Adwords ● Instagram Ads ● Facebook Ads ● LinkedIn Ads 7. Video Marketing With the quantity of textual content available online, video marketing has emerged as an effective way of digital marketing. With the famous video platforms like TikTok and Instagram Reels, people are more likely to stay attracted to a video advertisement rather than reading pages together about your business. For businesses, this is yet another opportunity to engage their users, build brand awareness, and get their content to rank on search engines. With the abundance of video content available online, there’s nothing as “rich content” so the best way to get your brand noticed is by creating more video content. 8. Email Marketing Even though email marketing has been a part of digital marketing for a long time now, its effectiveness has made it one of the most important strategies of digital marketing. Email marketing allows businesses to nurture prospects through a long decision-making process without the same kind of budgetary commitment as that of paid advertisements. By linking web analytics to email marketing platforms, a fundamental of email automation according to Mailchimp, organizations can trigger personalized email campaigns based on their user behavior. And while adopting a strategy with this type of integrated personalization varies from industry to industry, it ought to be a priority in 2021.
Peru beat New Zealand 2-0 last night to qualify for the 2018 World Cup in Russia. It was the first time Peru qualified since 1982 … when I was three and before my wife was born. As much as I hate on soccer, I watch and cheer for the national selection. As you could imagine, the country went ballistic with drinking and the beeping of those horns. The public celebration was similar to the nights in St. Louis the Rams won the Super Bowl in 2000 or the Cardinals won the World Series in 2006. Just qualifying was the party of a generation. Peru’s president declared today a public holiday. “Peru fans’ celebrations after Jefferson Farfan’s goal put them on course for a first World Cup qualification in 36 years caused several earthquake-detection apps to send warnings,” according to ESPN. “Sismologia Chile initially said a tremor had occurred in neighbouring Peru just as Farfan scored but later clarified that ‘the alarm detector was activated in the district of Lima due to Peru’s goal celebration against New Zealand.’” In the festive spirit (and because today’s a holiday), let’s look at the notable developments in Peruvian soccer that led us here. In 2015 a great article went around describing what it’s like to be a Peruvian soccer fan. From Welcome to the choke: the ballad of a Peru fan: [My father] helped me understand the complexity of what it means to root for La Blanquirroja. Understand that this is not the same as being a Brazilian, or an Argentinian, or dare I say it, a Chilean. We don’t hold the luxury of success, or at least the confidence of knowing that at least we’ll be there to compete. For Peruvians, the only assurance that we have in life is that we make the best ceviche in the world and that we won’t qualify for the World Cup. We are not even Cinderella – at least she made it to the ball … “As a Peruvian, rooting for the national team is like having a toxic ex-girlfriend,” says Mariano Bustamante, an industrial administrator in Lima … “You know that every time you get back together, she’s going to deceive you, she’s going to cheat on you, but like a fool you forgive her, thinking that she will change. But she never changes, she just disappoints you, over and over again. But she’ll return in four years, and again, like a fool you’ll take her back.” I can relate to that as a former fan of St. Louis’s hockey team, the Blues. The Blues were not an Original Six team, but part of the first NHL expansions in 1967. Today it’s the only active club among those oldest 12 teams never to have won a Stanley Cup, and they haven’t appeared in the Finals since 1970. So I understand the thrill of small victories like making the conference finals in 2001, and the agonies of big defeats like getting knocked out in the first round after having the best record in 2000. But the difference here is that the Blues will almost certainly win the Stanley Cup someday in my lifetime. Peru, on the other hand, will not win the World Cup. Not even if they held it every year. Peru Takes 3rd in 2015 Copa America Despite that pessimistic article, Peru made the quarterfinals in the 2015 Copa America tournament, ultimately placing third above Brazil and Colombia. From the picture above, can you guess who won the tournament? Head of Peru Fiefdom Extradited Peru Shocks the World By beating Brazil in the 2016 Copa Centenario … with a handball goal. If you ask me, Brazil shouldn’t have let him in the pocket. That’s what I would’ve called a “cholo tramposo” in basketball. Paolo Guerrero Becomes All-Time Scoring Leader In 2015 striker Paolo Guerrero was nominated as clearly-not-a-winner-but-FIFA-likes-to-nominate-dozens-of-runners-up for the Ballon d’Or award. In 2016 Guerrero surpassed legend Teofilo Cubillas to score the most goals for Peru’s national selection. This year Guerrero was honored with the utterly unwatchable biopic, Guerrero. Rising to the Occasion I don’t really know how it all went down, but this year the stars aligned in South America’s CONMEBOL division standings so that Brazil and Uruguay were the only shoe-ins for the World Cup. Everybody else’s fate, including Argentina, was up in the air. Smelling glory, Peru delivered inspiring performances including a scoreless tie against Argentina, a 1-1 tie against Colombia and another scoreless tie against New Zealand, before beating the 122-ranked Kiwis 2-0 in Lima. The video above shows a little early celebrating between Colombia’s Falcao and Peru’s players upon learning that Chile was ass-pounded out of contention, clearing the way for both teams to qualify. You heard it here first, the shot heard round the world, Expat Chronicles publishes a biting critique of corruption and complacency in soccer and the proposed reforms to improve the sport: How to Make Soccer More Interesting. FIFA suspended aforementioned star scorer Paolo Guerrero for taking a banned stimulant. When the news hit, I thought Peru might fulfill its perennial sorrow legacy and fuck these games up with New Zealand. “We have to look at the facts, which nobody knows except the experts. Everyone in Lima takes an antihistamine because of the horrible weather in the winter. Maybe he took an antihistamine and it would be unfair to be punished for that,” said President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski, who I generally like, but I guess you sometimes gotta be a populist for the plebes. But then he had to go and declare today a public holiday, like Peruvians needed an excuse not to work. Now I got a house full of screaming children. Couldn’t he declare it a holiday for everybody except schools? Ricardo Gareca Vindicated Fast forward to last night, today, Peru managed to beat New Zealand 2-0 in Lima. My favorite story in all this is the vindication of Peru manager Ricardo Gareca. The Argentine took over Peru’s national squad in 2015, and as I was covering Peruvian soccer in the daily grind for Peru Reports, I couldn’t believe the constant disapproval in the sports press. The public was calling for his head by the end of that year and into 2016. I was beside myself. The strategy paid off as Peru qualifies for the first time since 1982. The above meme is currently making the rounds. Gareca’s face on the 200-soles bill replaces Santa Rosa of Lima, the patron saint of Lima and the first American-born saint. Peruvian Soccer Beyond 2018 The various Peru expats groups on Facebook started talking about Peru’s chances in recent weeks. An American posted the above, kicking the hornet’s nest by saying soccer is not a real sport. I responded with The Onion’s coverage of soccer’s not-so-shocking announcement. I couldn’t help myself. But my best input in the Face-osphere came when a new arrival asked why Peru has been so bad for so long. A few of the typical incorrect theories (which aren’t unique to Peru) trickled in – corruption, players who party, etc. And so I blessed them with my own brilliant analysis: The economic factor is the most important in Peru’s failures since the 80s. You don’t see small countries with over half the population living under the poverty line in the World Cup. Peru was a regional leader in malnutrition during the 80s and 90s, and it’s hard to cultivate world-class athletes when most children get less than a glass of milk’s worth of protein every day. I believe you’ll see Peru become a contender on the level of Colombia and Chile in 10 years or so, as the children born in the last 10 to 15 years (relative prosperity) come of age. Let that sink in, let a decade go by without forgetting it, and remember where you heard it first. In that sense, it’s a stunning achievement Peru’s current team, which was raised in the 90s, has qualified. Support what Expat Chronicles is all about. Leave a tip to keep the laughs coming (and the news, insight and other stuff too).
Everywhere I go I am surrounded by the internet. The internet is every centry in this prison camp of a life. Assaulting my capacity to think. I go to one room and there it is; I go to another room and there it is. I can't read or write without having half my brain in its clutches, even while all the computers are off. The internet has us all by the genitals and it won't let go. There will be no presence in this life so long as the internet is here. Like a nuclear weapon, its lethalness is not in its use alone, but in the fact that it exists at all. Because so much else becomes lethal now that it exists. Sex, friendship, vulnerability. Mistakes. Mistakes are lethal because of the internet. Like nuclear power, it could give us so much joy. But it doesn't. Even what I write goes straight to the internet. I mean, no one would read me or listen to me if it wasn't for the internet! Not that many people read or listen to me anyway, only like two people, so the internet is basically useless to me. Just let me be with those two people. The internet never existed for me, I have only ever existed for it. Might be arrogant to say that anything exists for me, but it's ok to say that I don't want to exist for anything else. Why do we keep little computers in thin little pockets so close to our genitals? Is the internet's lust for us so insatiable it must have this constant, no boundary access? Why do I allow myself to be lusted after so casually? Do I enjoy it? Of course, a part of me enjoys it. Many parts of me enjoy it. This being lusted after. In parts. The internet only wants me in parts. I will give all the parts the internet wants of me. Monsters are not born, they are made. And the internet has been made into a monster. We have yet to see the monsters it will make of us. If those sentences were written thirty years ago, they may have been prescient. Now they are just bland. I've so casually accepted my own monstrosity that any reference to it has no cultural relevance beyond a scrolled over meme. An internet meme of course. I did not know that a meme is something that could exist outside of the internet. That's something I learned on the internet. My contemporaries are embarrassed to write or make stuff with any true earnestness because the internet overwhelms them. They think they have nothing to offer and that everything has already been said or done. So? That was the case one thousand years ago too. Are you so sure time works the way you imagine it in your head? Just a steady stream to the cold and quiet intersection of advancement and destruction? Or does it work like an explosion? Where disparate parts are connected through a continuum unfathomable by our tiny yet courageously reaching imaginations? Hesitance is arrogance. Nothing has ever been new. Only discovered and buried and rediscovered a new. Flightiness is the prerogative of the gods. Our power is in repetition. The ability to go back to the same thing over and over not to change it but to change ourselves. That is what courage is, to change yourself despite fear of the old. Nothing is as old as darkness. The primary source of fear. Let the darkness fuel your courage. Embrace it with the love it is owed. Novelty is the currency of internet pornography. Stop trying to be novel. Be brave instead. That is one thing the internet will never take. That is one thing time will never take, though we may all be gone very soon. Nothing will ever take our capacity for bravery. So get off the internet and be brave already.
This meme hits us right in the feels. Of all the places we can't travel to because of coronavirus, the one we miss the most is movie theaters. Crystalgirl121 Click for more funny memes, our community's best movie theater memes, and our entire library of movie theater memes. This meme is a life lesson to always act like you're at the job you want, even while at a movie theater. What the heck is it about movie theaters that make people so slovenly? This is a meme we wish wasn't so true. Yet another meme that doubles at a life lesson. The people at the box office of a movie theater need you to tell them the movie you want to see. Keep this meme in mind next time you see an Avengers movie in theaters and try to be nicer to the theater employees. This meme is what every movie theater customer feels when they see the hype building around any box office smash. The worst movie theater popcorn is still better than the vast majority of stuff you'd make at home, so don't hurt the feelings of the machine like in this meme. This meme makes us realize we love Keanu Reeves so much we'd go to the movie theater just to watch him eat popcorn for 90 minutes. The guy in this meme? This face is what movie theater employees feel about all you opportunists out there. If more people looked at memes the world would be a better place. Customers at movie theaters would remember this and act accordingly from now on. This meme is for all of us that would win the Superbowl of sneaking snacks into movie theaters. Sonic memes are always hilarious and a bit creepy, but who knew they could be so relatable when it came to trips to the movie theater? Seriously. Remember memes like this and hope they shame you into picking up after yourselves while out at movie theaters. You look like the person in this meme when you berate movie theater cashiers about prices they had no part in setting. For all the movie theater employees out there: we thank and appreciate you. Just remember these memes the next time customers are being the worst.
Is the Fed fueling a giant stock market bubble? … Not only has the S&P 500 fully recovered from the financial crisis, it's a staggering 30% higher than the peaks of the Internet and housing bull markets. But is this really the case? With unemployment still above 6%, how could we find ourselves in the throes of yet another brewing catastrophe? Didn't investors and analysts learn anything from the past decade and a half? While it requires some explanation, the answer is that we're most likely not experiencing another irrational inflation of stock prices. – USA Today Dominant Social Theme: The Fed is a responsible creature and would never create a speculative mess. Free-Market Analysis: If the government or mainstream media say something definitive, assume the opposite. This article explains to us that the Fed has little power to create "irrational" bubbles. And that the current stock bubble – bigger than any bubble in history – is a rational one. This is apparently the position of those who stand behind government and want investors to feel safe about placing funds in equities. We've pointed out that this is surely a dominant social theme. We first noticed it when we came across Janet Yellen's astounding claim that the Federal Reserve could not proactively reduce asset bubbles. It has continued with other statements and editorials of a similar nature. We analyzed Yellen's original article (and several others) and then most recently similar statements made by former Fed head Alan Greenspan. Now comes USA Today. Here's more: The market's record level is instead a predictable response to the Federal Reserve's policy of keeping interest rates at historically low levels. As an initial matter, it's important to appreciate that monetary policy itself doesn't cause bubbles. This may sound strange if you've read much about the financial crisis, given that the Fed is often blamed for both inflating and popping the housing bubble. But this narrative is flawed. … This isn't to say that the central bank can't distort asset values by way of monetary policy. Indeed, not only can it do so, but it can do so to a considerable degree. "Monetary policy has powerful effects on risk taking," Fed Chairwoman Janet Yellen acknowledged in a speech earlier this month. "Indeed, the accommodative policy stance of recent years has supported the recovery, in part, by providing increased incentives for households and businesses to take on the risk of potentially productive investments." … As Bloomberg's Noah Smith recently explained: "The value of a financial asset is the discounted present value of its future payoffs, and when the discount rate — of which the Fed interest rate is a component — goes down, the true fundamental value of risky assets goes up mechanically and automatically. That's rational price appreciation, not a bubble." Does this mean stock prices won't at some point deflate? No. In fact, you should probably assume they will. Stock prices correct all the time. But what's important to remember is that a correction isn't a bubble. This is really amazing. Sure, the mathematics of expansion may be logical; they always are until they are NOT. Anyway, the ultimate reason for the article is promotional. The article wraps itself into rhetorical knots to disavow central banking involvement in significant equity expansions. We'd rather the article argued what Greenspan and Yellen have argued, that over-expansions are inevitable and due to human nature. That would be more convincing than arguing current markets are merely mathematical outcomes. Such articles as this also fuel the meme that Fed "money printing" is generally insignificant, especially since central banks like the Fed tend to print money at the request of legislative authorities. Forbes made this argument not so long ago in a post entitled, "The Fed Is Not Printing Money, It's Doing Something Much Worse." The article states bluntly: "To be clear, the Federal Reserve has not been printing money. It hasn't needed to, and that's where the horrors of the Fed's machinations become most apparent." More: The lesson here is that despite what is broadly presumed by economists and the punditry, the Fed can't force money into the economy, nor can it increase "money supply." Money supply is demand determined, and with the economy still relatively weak, there's very little demand for the dollar credit that's been expanded by Fed purchases of bank assets. What about the supposed "money printing" by the Fed? There's once again no such thing occurring. Instead, the Fed is able to engage in its program of quantitative easing thanks to its 25 basis point payments for bank reserves. With the funds borrowed from banks, the Fed has the means to purchase all manner of Treasuries and mortgage bonds. But a Forbes feedbacker, Mike Dar, points out the following: Unfortunately, none of this takes into account the off-book printing the Fed has done since 2008. 17 trillion, aside from any debt posted, has been created out of thin air, by the Fed. Other countries Centrals have done the same. While the funds were 'rescues', much of those funds found their way to the markets [by] Primary Dealers hedge funds. Most people believe that the only money created is that of congressional approval, but the Banks, Federal Reserve and other Centrals, do not have a limitation where they are the only participants under the guise of saving/rescues and to eliminate interbank debts, supposedly largely, in derivatives. Ron Paul brought suit and the Fed admitted to some 11 trillion, years ago, was sent out around the world at the time. We have to take the Feds word that was all at the time, hence so much interest in a 'full accounting'. … This article is a little short in its appraisal. Dar states what we have concluded as well. There's no limit to central bank money-printing machinations. We're told that Fed strategies have expanded in the recent past. But that's not true, either. The Fed was supposedly limited in its money printing operations in the 1920s by a gold/paper ratio. Fed bankers of the time apparently ignored it, printed a great deal more money and set in motion the Roaring '20s and subsequent collapse. No, it hasn't gotten any better. Give a handful of men, and occasionally women, the opportunity to create money without significant limitations or oversight and they will find ways to print more and more. Back in January 2013, the Wall Street Journal reported: "If the Fed were to record a loss, it could print its own money to cover its expenses—at no cost to the Treasury. The Fed would record a loss as a deferred asset, which would represent how much money the Fed would need to make up before it started sending profits to the Treasury again." Even if the Fed was turned into a fully "public" central bank instead of the hybrid public-private entity that it is today, nothing much would change. It is the MONOPOLY aspect of central banking that is at fault. Only Fed paper currency is allowed to circulate freely of constraints. Try, for instance, to pay your taxes in something other than Fed-printed US currency … Central banks create bubbles by expanding the money base and debasing currencies, thus setting into motion investment euphorias that lead inevitably to crashes and terrible economic busts. We long ago predicted the rise of the Wall Street Party and wrote that globalist elites were determined to expand this stock-buying binge as far as possible and for as long as possible, longer than might seem feasible. They would print and print beyond anyone's expectations of what was remotely justifiable. This is just what's happening. The reason we are observing a new "anti-bubble" meme is because the current expansion is becoming ridiculous even to the average investor or observer. So now those behind this unsustainable expansion need to explain their actions while downplaying the significance of bubbles generally or specifically. This alone tells us that the intention is to push the marketplace higher still using every legal and illegal method available, from flash trading, to money printing to "plunge protection." This is to be, apparently, the party to end all parties. And when it does stop – whenever that is – the bust will be absolutely horrific. And the calls will rise for a more internationalized monetary system. This happened after the US crash of 1907. Elite strategies never change. They are simply recycled. What a party this is for those who are able to take advantage of it via market timing, prudent hedging, etc. New fortunes are being built every day. The first "trillionaires" will be minted. For a while it will seem as if those with the wherewithal to speculate in the markets are a new species: genius homo. Eventually this party will be over, and the resultant crash will surely reverberate – grimly and ruinously – for many decades to come.
The Crisis in Art and What It Means To Write About It Initial reflections as I take a chair at artnet News. This week I start a new job here at artnet News, as Senior Writer. I’ll be focusing on reviews and commentary, a beat I am excited about. But before I dive into the maelstrom, I thought I would take a moment to say why I am excited. If you somehow took a poll of critics and writers about the state of contemporary art, “excited” wouldn’t be the first word you’d hear. Pretty much everyone agrees that things are dire. Money is drowning out everything. Celebrity rules the game. The art is bad. Super-sizing it is only making it worse. The entire elaborate, Rube Goldberg-ian infrastructure of the visual art sphere is under strain from the current runaway craziness. “Few deny that the carousel of fairs, exhibitions and biennials is taking a toll on art itself,” the Financial Times tells us. And that’s the Financial Times! So, the state of things is not good. But the way I see it, a sense of crisis is a good thing, if the crisis is real. Justified angst is better than unjustified complacency, and now almost no one denies that there is some cause for angst. You can’t solve a problem unless you look at it honestly. Historically, it’s even true that a lot of great art has been driven by a sense of crisis. (“Midway upon the journey of our life, I found myself within a forest dark,” begins the Divine Comedy, “for the straightforward pathway had been lost.”) What are the major themes of contemporary art discourse right now? Inequality and the Internet. Money, which is making unique objects ever more expensive, and technology, which is making images ever more placeless. On the one hand, the ultra-exclusive auction room where prices rise ever higher, where art is touted as a timeless store of value. On the other, the Internet, where images fluoresce quickly and compete for attention in a universe of technological novelty. “The digital as a dimension of everything” is the Tate’s current mantra. The way that people consume art, and what art seems worthy, is changing, will change. That’s a confusing conjunction of forces. But the fact that these topics are inescapable now is good news for anyone who thinks art might be relevant to a wider public, inasmuch as resurgent inequality and renascent future shock are the major obsessions of public discourse in general. At least you have a clearly defined set of problems that matter, and consequently room for interesting things to write. The “crisis of criticism” is the meme that will not die—but actually I tend to think that the limber, street-level, populist writing that has taken over online is a lot more interesting than confused theory-speak. I do think, however—and this is part of what I find exciting—that the particular stresses on art are organically bringing big theoretical questions into focus: What is art? Who is it for? At a time when art is under particular pressure, these questions become particularly important. One of my interests has been how art relates to ideas of class, and I do think that this theory adds an important piece to the contemporary puzzle. In the case of navigating art’s difficult relation to money, the ways that a focus on class might come in handy probably seem obvious (though I actually think that “class” adds something that talk about “inequality” misses). In the case of technology, the idea that class has a place probably seems more abstract. I think of it this way: If you are talking about how art traffics on Google or how people consume images via smartphones, you are talking about how the products of large corporations affect the way we see the work of what amounts to a small community of craftspeople, mainly individuals or small groups. Without an idea of visual art as a form of labor done by certain kinds of people, it is very difficult to understand the pressures on art, the stakes of technological transformation, or the angst that it engenders. All this is me telling rather than showing what I’m interested in writing about. The point is just enthusiasm: There are interesting conversations going on and I’m excited to be able to be part of them. That’s all. Into the maelstrom.

Vitalik Buterin, the co-founder of Ethereum, donated a new cryptocurrency Shiba Inu worth 1 billion U.S. dollars (over 736 crore rupees) to the Indian COVID Relief Fund, and the country continues to fight the novel coronavirus pandemic. The creator of Shiba Inu gave Buterin 50% of these dog-themed meme tokens, thinking he would not touch them. However, the world’s youngest crypto billionaire decided to donate instead. The creators of Shiba Inu said they locked 50% of Uniswap’s total supply and lost the key. “50% of the funds were burned to Vitalik Buterin. This is our first project along this road. Therefore, everyone must buy the product on the open market to ensure that developers do not need to have access to the community A fair and complete issuance of the team tokens discarded on the above,” the team behind the token wrote on its website. Buterin transferred 50 trillion Shibu tokens worth 1.2 billion U.S. dollars (over 73.6 billion rupees) to the Indian COVID Relief Fund established by technology entrepreneur Sandeep Nailwal. The donation is also the largest donation in the history of any cryptocurrency person. Of course, given how novel the token is and its status as a meme coin, not a real cryptocurrency, unlike Bitcoin (price in India) or Ethereum (price in India), this money is impossible Realized entirely in rupees-if it does, then it is likely to reduce the value of the token and hurt retail investors at the same time. However, this does not mean that Memecoin cannot be a real asset. I would like to ask anyone who has invested in Dogecoin (Indian price). In a tweet, the official processor of the relief fund expressed gratitude to the co-founders of Ethereum and added that it will “conduct a thorough liquidation to ensure” its COVID relief goals are met. It added: “We decided to slowly switch donations over a period of time.” We have decided to slowly switch donations over a period of time. (1 / x) —Covid Covid Relief Fund in India???????? (@CryptoRelief_) May 12 2021 Regarding Buterin’s donation, Nailwal stated that one of the things they learned from Ethereum and its co-founders is the importance of the community. Nailwal eased the concerns of Shib holders, saying that they will not do anything to harm any community, “especially the retail community related to SHIB.” “We will act responsibly!” Thank you @VitalikButerin One thing we learned from Ethereum is @VitalikButerin The importance of the community We will not do anything that will harm any community, especially the retail community related to it $ SHIB We will act responsibly! Please do not worry $ SHIB Holder. https://t.co/M4GxTR0JAn -Sandeep-Polygon (previous Matic network) (@ sandeepnailwal) May 12 2021 According to data from the Uniswap trading platform, after remittances to the relief fund, the price of Shiba Inu plummeted by nearly 30%, which is a guarantee made by Nailwal. It is more important here to emphasize that the actual value of aid received by charities is likely to end up being much lower than expected. This is not Buterin’s first donation to India’s COVID Relief Fund. In April, the 27-year-old transferred 100 ETH and 100 MKR, valued at approximately US$6,06,110 (approximately Rs 4.5 crore). Nailwal plans to use the funds to obtain oxygen, food, and possibly even the cost of providing vaccines to the poor, and he promised that all expenditures will be publicly disclosed to achieve complete transparency.
While breezing through Facebook a couple of days ago I saw the meme again. The top picture showed soldier storming Omaha Beach and was labeled “Americans, 1944”. The bottom picture was mask-wearing man, cowering behind a couch. His eyes are round with fright. This one was labeled, “Americans, 2020”. I didn’t spend much time on the comments, but the general idea was how much they hated the “snowflakes” for their fear-mongering over the “Communist Cold” in their transparent hopes to defeat Trump in the presidential election. This is actually one of the milder ones I’ve seen, but for some reason it touched a nerve. Two quick things. First, over 140,000 Americans have died of what they call “The Chinese Cold” or “The Communist Cold” in the last six months. It hasn’t just been sick, old people, it has been healthy people, young people, children, marathon runners and pretty much any and every demographic imaginable. So far there is no way for us to tell who will have bad symptoms and who will die. And a lot of these 140,000 deaths might have been avoided if there was strong leadership in the US. The second thing is that mask wearing people aren’t afraid and cowering. Masks give a little protection against the virus, but the biggest thing a mask does is help someone who has it from spreading it farther. So we wear masks not from fear, but out of compassion. OK, a third thing – One of the big issues that we face as numbers rise is that hospitals can become overwhelmed. When that happens, people start dying. It occurred in New York City early, and the hospitals in Florida and Texas are now nearing capacity. Unless something changes soon, we might see the scenario of NYC in the spring happen all over again in several other states. And as they say, an ounce of prevention… A few details about Covid-19. There is a long list of possible symptoms, from the typical flu-like symptoms of fever and a cough to more dramatic ones. Loss of smell. Skin issues. Heart issues. Organ failure. Brain damage, cognitive issues and confusion. Eye problems. Diarrhea. A person can seem normal one minute, and then have severe symptoms the next, including falling asleep and nobody is able to wake them. Some people, including young healthy people, have had strokes. We do not know the long-term effects of Covid-19 yet. There has been some indication that it isn’t over when it is over, but may come back again. And think of this: there are some viruses that stay with you for life. If you had chickenpox as a child, you might get shingles as an adult (same virus). Ever hear the term, “Herpes is forever”? Herpes is a virus, as is HIV that causes AIDS. Will someone who has Covid-19 today suddenly come up with some odd symptoms in 20 years? Maybe not, but it can’t be ruled out. So, it can be bad, and the more people have it, the worse it is, since it can easily overwhelm our healthcare system. Trying to prevent the spread, keep as many people well and avoid as many deaths as possible is not hiding behind a couch, wide-eyed and scared silly, it is common sense. When a hurricane is coming, we put boards over the windows and move to higher ground. As with any preparation, preparing for the Covid-19 can work. Have you looked at the numbers for most mainland European countries lately? Even some of the early hot-spots have gone down to next to nothing. Yesterday France had zero (0!) reported new cases. Italy, which was hit hard early, has been hovering around 200 per day for a while. The US? About 60,000. OK, it has flared up in Spain again recently, but for the most part Europe has it under control, particularly when compared to the US. Why is there such a big difference between here and there? Because we in the US have made it a political issue, not a health emergency. To be fair, it is a very one-sided political issue, and it begins and ends with Donald Trump. OK, OK, I hate to name names, at least politically, in my blog. I avoid it at all costs, unless I am saying something good about politicians on both sides of the aisle, as I recently did with George W Bush and Barack Obama. But this is a case where names have to be named. From the beginning he has denied the seriousness of the pandemic, belittled those who were trying to inform America about and has spread misinformation. He actively blocked early assistance, to many states when they needed it most. He has been on the attack from the beginning, not against the virus, but against those who were trying to stop its spread. He even went so far as to cheer the assault-weapon carrying people who stormed the statehouse in Michigan. And many in the Republican party have followed. Not all, and some have stood out to try to solve the issue. Ohio’s governor made a few good moves early, though it seems to have back-slid quite a bit since then. People in his administration have contradicted him, including over the last week when he said that the Surgeon General (that he appointed) was against masks, while at almost the same time the Surgeon General, Jerome Adams, begged Fox News watchers to take the virus seriously and wear a mask. And then there was the Chris Wallace interview on Fox News. I read an opinion piece on CNN calling Chris Wallace one of the best journalists in the business today – not bad coming from the competition. Chris Wallace often fact checked the president in real time. Not that the president backed down, but I hope it opened some people’s eyes. At the end of the interview, he still seemed to insist that he understood it better than any of the experts. And the rank and file voters are still behind him, or more like where he was two months ago. Every day I see attacks on the WHO, CDC and, the biggest devil, Dr. Fauci. And, of course, tons of memes about the virus being a political hoax created by the Democrats. Which brings us back to the opening of this post. Yes, let’s compare today to WW2. Think of all of the sacrifices that normal Americans made to combat the enemy. The things they had to give up. Everyone in the country put their lives on hold for four years as the soldiers fought and died. We face an enemy that still may kill more Americans than the ones we faced in that great war unless we fight! How do we fight? And what sacrifices do we need to make? Listen to the experts, like doctors, nurses and immunologist. Practice social distancing. Only go out in large groups/gatherings when absolutely necessary. Avoid crowded, indoor situations. Wash your hands. And wear a mask. When compared to what your grandparents put up during WW2, is this really so hard? Really? It is? Be brave! Chin up! Fight by listening to the experts, like doctors, nurses and immunologist and we will win! I hate, hate that we live in a world were a pandemic has become such a political touchstone, where experts are considered traitors and were reality stars are considered the best source of information, but it is the world we live in. Stay safe. This was the latest in my newer political rants and my fourth (or fifth) post about Covid-19 Here, for something lighter, watch this:

This year has been a trying one to say the least—but feminists did not take abuse or insults quietly. From Kamala Harris’s infamous “I’m speaking” to Megan Thee Stallion’s public call to “Protect Black Women,” here are 10 memorable and stinging comebacks launched by feminists that our future grandchildren will probably see in their history books some day. 1. Kamala Harris lets Mike Pence know she’s speaking after he interrupts her during the vice presidential debate. Besides a fly landing on Pence, this moment was epic for a reason—it resonated with so many women, especially women of color, whose voices are often ignored. Studies and anecdotes confirm that this phenomenon of silencing and speaking over women is widespread. Pence’s behavior was reminiscent of his boss’s in the 2016 presidential debates, when Trump brazenly interrupted Hillary Clinton. It even happens on the Supreme Court: A Harvard Business Review study showed that male Supreme Court justices interrupt female justices three times more often than they interrupt one another. Since the debate, the frustrating and familiar phrase “I’m speaking” has continued to receive national attention—it clearly struck a chord. 2. Kamala Harris is able to call herself vice president-elect. Not only did Harris beat Mike Pence; Harris’s win is every little girl’s win, any little girl that hopes to become president and be praised for her accomplishments, regardless of gender or race. Now that’s more than a clapback—that’s a flex! 3. Poetic justice for Hillary Clinton Award-winning independent American political writer Alex Mohajer couldn’t have said it better: The poetic justice of seeing Hillary Clinton, the 2016 popular vote winner who was denied her presidency in the electoral college, cast her electoral college vote today to make Donald Trump a one-term president is not at all lost on me. Clinton’s quote-tweet clapback did not need to mention Trump’s name for us to understand the sweet, sweet nectar of this delayed-but-still-satisfying bit of justice. 4. AOC demands respect from Mike Pence. When Pence dared mentioning Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez by her famous moniker during the 2020 vice presidential debate, the second term winner did not take it lightly and had to drop that @. She later said in another tweet, “Pence demanding that Harris answer *his* own personal questions when he won’t even answer the moderator’s is gross, and exemplary of the gender dynamics so many women have to deal with at work.” 5. Michelle Obama admits it wasn’t easy handing over the White House to Trump. As we all know, Trump continues to deny that he has lost the election and is seemingly going to leave the White House kicking or screaming—or not at all. Ironically, Trump’s long-time nemeses, Michelle and Barack Obama, can relate to how Trump’s feeling of incredulousness. In a lengthy but worth-reading Instagram caption, Michelle Obama wrote, “Donald Trump had spread racist lies about my husband that had put my family in danger. That wasn’t something I was ready to forgive.” 6. Bernice King responds to The Wall Street Journal op-ed that called the future first lady ‘kiddo.’ Bernice King, the youngest child of civil rights leaders Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King took to Twitter to defend Dr. Biden after Wall Street Journal opinion writer Joseph Epstein called Dr. Biden’s use of the honorific “fraudulent, not to say a touch comic.” Social media users, columnists and feminists were floored at the WSJ’s editorial decision to run the piece, and argued the article reflected sexism—sexism is often faced by many women in academia. 7. The mayor of Paris basically scoffed at city authorities fining city hall for putting “too many women” in senior roles. Last week, the mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo, was fined 90,000 euros for appointing too many women to senior leadership positions. In response, Hidalgo called the decision “absurd” and sarcastically quipped at a city council meeting, “The management of the city hall has, all of a sudden, become far too feminist.” Her crime? She appointed 11 women and only five men to the 16 total management positions in city hall. Boo hoo! 8. On Saturday Night Live, Megan Thee Stallion stands up to Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron for Black women—especially Breonna Taylor. The words “Protect Black Women” appeared on screen when Megan performed as a musical guest on SNL, along with quotes from Malcom X and activist Tamika Mallory: “Daniel Cameron is no different than the sell-out negroes who sold our people into slavery.” Megan Thee Stallion had previously called out Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron for his “appalling conduct in denying Breonna Taylor and her family justice” and wrote an op-ed in The New York Times calling for the protection of Black women: Violence against women is not always connected to being in a relationship. Instead, it happens because too many men treat all women as objects, which helps them to justify inflicting abuse against us when we choose to exercise our own free will. … It’s ridiculous that some people think the simple phrase ‘Protect Black women’ is controversial. We deserve to be protected as human beings. And we are entitled to our anger about a laundry list of mistreatment and neglect that we suffer. 9. Nancy Pelosi rips up Trump’s State of the Union Speech. Earlier this year, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi became an instant meme when she did what most of us would do if we had her seat. Her reasoning behind the ripping? “It was a manifesto of mistruths.” 10. President-Elect Joe Biden flaunts his social media skills with this quote tweet. Trump told a campaign rally that people will “never see” him again if Biden wins the election. Well, Biden won, and he sure knows how to remind Trump. You may also like:
Looking for last-minute Halloween costume ideas for your pup? Look no further. Taking inspiration from the most creative canines in Brooklyn at Fort Greene’s Annual Great PUPkin Costume Contests, the BK Reader has put together 13 costume ideas to make sure your dog looks the part this howl-oween. 1. Throw it back to one of your favorite TV shows as a kid, like the winner of the 2018 PUPkin contest, who used a trash can and some green paint to bring to life Sesame Street’s Oscar the Grouch. We’re thinking Rugrats, Hey Arnold, Scooby Doo or even Mister Rogers. 2. Dress your Rottweiler as your favorite wrestler. And it doesn’t necessarily have to be Mexican wrestling, like the Luchadorable Lucy here — think WWF, MMA, boxing. 3. Pick a Tim Burton movie, and run with it. Here we have the classic Beetlejuice, but your pup may prefer Edward Scissorhands, Sweeney Todd, or most appropriately, Frankenweenie. 4. Get inspiration from the candy jar. Here we have an adorable Sour Patch Kid. But your dog might make a better M&M, a peanut butter cup, a carton of Nerds or a jellybean. 5. Make your dog and your baby a dynamic duo for Halloween. Whether it’s a Roman empress and her war horse, or a Jedi and his R2-D2. 6. Take an iconic image — or a meme — and recreate it. As you can see in this reimagining of the iconic 30 Rock photograph, it’s all in the accessorizing. 7. Let your stomach lead you. Dress your dog as a whole snack. Like this little guy – who came dressed as a sushi roll in 2018. Other ideas — hot cheetos, hot dogs, a bowl of ramen, a slice of pizza, a cronut, a lobster roll, an egg. 8. Level up and dress your dog as a snack AND make them a dynamic duo with your baby. So this time, you do a hot dog — with a side of fries. Or a bowl of ramen — with rice. An egg — but add a slice of toast. 9. Dress your dog after your favorite Brooklyn icon. Like the Notorious D.O.G in his Coogi sweater, there’s so many Brooklyn legends to choose from. Lil Kim, Jay Z, Joan Rivers, Foxy Brown, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Barbra Streisand and so many more. 10. Celebrate a groundbreaking woman. Your pooch likes this one. Whether it’s RBG, Michelle Obama, Amelia Earhart, Hillary Clinton, Rosa Parks or Cleopatra — pick a woman who inspires you and let your dog embody her power. 11. Look to current politics, if you can bear it. Perhaps your dog would like to dress up as the fly on VP Mike Pence’s head? A polling station? A blue or red wave? 12. Your favorite heart wrenching animation. Like this little guy who went with his family as the cast of Up, you might look to Coco, The Secret Life of Dogs or Zootopia for inspiration. 13. Someone a little bit magical. Like this Doggy Poppins, we could also envision your pup as Dumbledore or Harry Potter, a character from Lord of the Rings or even one of the cast of The Wizard of Oz.

The big video game joke of 2011—and certainly the most repeated line—came from Skyrim, a game populated by guards who used to be adventurers, just like you, before they "took an arrow in the knee." Sorry if you thought you were done with that line. Can you tolerate it one more time, just to learn why it's in the game? The game's developers at Bethesda put that line in the game late, and had no idea it would become such a big deal. Here's the secret origin, from Bethesda's chief game developer, Todd Howard: "It's certainly not intentional that it would catch on that way," he told me recently. "It's a line that we liked." They liked the line so much that they made sure it was in the game a lot, right? Not really. "I don't think you hear it that much," he said. "It sticks out. It's got more flavor, so I think it sticks out." "It's a great line," Howard continued, laughing. "[Senior Bethesda game designer] Emil Pagliarulo wrote it. "This was late in the project. We wanted to have the guards to have more personality. They're usually just grunting, telling you what to do. So we had Emil go in and write a lot more stuff and have them reflect you. So the guards say the most about you and what you've done: 'Oh, I like that armor.' 'I hear you're doing this.' And then, there is a suite of, 'Why am I no longer a guard? These guys are adventuring. I'm stuck here with dragons.' That was just one of the lines." Pagliarulo wasn't available to tell us just why he wrote that line, but at least we now know why it's in there. It's there for you, gamers. The guards want you to know that you matter. And, no, Bethesda did not expect to create the biggest gaming meme since the one about cakes and lies. "Can anybody do that?" Howard asked. "'We will write this line. And it will catch fire.'" It's just skill, flavor and... luck.
I got the idea for this post last Monday, when one my commenters asked me a question about what musicals I like (if you hadn't noticed that's in my blog bio). I was going to answer in the comments, but it made me think about what some of my readers might want to know about me. I'm not really a meme person so much, but I'd like to answer these questions somehow! So what do you want to know? Post your questions that you'd like me to answer in the comments to this post. Want to know my favorite book/movie/band? My schooling background? My favorite foods? What I look like? How I got started blogging? Or maybe you just want to know why "this crazy girl always has a @*$#)! Disney character for her profile picture"? So post your questions, and I'll devote a whole post to answering them. Of course, I reserve the right to not answer some questions, since this is the internet after all. Post a comment or send me an email by next Tuesday (Feb 17). Okay, I'm ready now. Go! And as a reward for those of you who actually made it this far through the post.... Anyone who asks a question here will get another entry into this week's Contest Monday. How's that for incentive. ;-)
Anyone's wedding day is, obviously, one of the most important days of their lives and nothing else matters that day other than the person you are marrying. And, that's why people are confused by the latest meme on desi Twitter. The hilarious picture has a groom using his computer while his bride is literally waiting for him in the room right after they got married. No one knows the context and that's what's making the entire thing even funnier. What could be more important than your new wife? That is a question everyone wants to know the answer to but looks like sadly we'll never get to know. People are coming up with their own hilarious captions for the picture and the 'Hold On Babe' meme has really taken off. A wise man, always has to keep up with Twitter.

It’s the day after the 2019 Golden Globes, and all anyone can talk about is the girl in New Céline. They could be talking about Lady Gaga in custom Valentino or Emma Stone in Louis Vuitton, but the digital glitterati only has eyes for Lucy Boynton, the 25-year-old British breakout ingenue from Bohemian Rhapsody, a Best Picture nominee at this year’s Oscars. “Who is she?” may be a meme, but it’s also the question I hear uttered breathlessly around the Who What Wear office for the next several days. Who is this fresh face with the blonde bob making her debut in head-to-toe gold from one of fashion’s buzziest designers? Is she some sort of fashion savant? A spy? What is her agenda? Who is responsible? Photo:Carissa Gallo for Who What Wear Two weeks later, backdropped by the sunshiny hills of Topanga, California—the setting of today’s photo shoot, many serpentine backroads away from the anxious hum of Hollywood—I plant myself on a deck chair next to Boynton, primed to investigate. Freshly stripped of a high-collared floral Batsheva frock the colour of lemon chiffon and changed into black skinny jeans and a crewneck sweater, Boynton suddenly seems less like a savant or a spy and more like a 20-something who can’t believe her good luck. “It’s just silly to call this work,” she says, gesturing toward her dressing room, a vault of Miu Miu slip dresses and Gucci pumps pulled for today. “Dressing for shoots and red carpets, it just feels like stepping into a version of myself that’s more decorated. More special,” she continues, taking an apologetic sip of Diet Coke (“I know it’s poison,” she smiles). “I also think fashion is an incredibly important part of what I do as an actress—costumes are at the centre of it, and the red carpet is an extension of that. It's like its own little production. It’s like a play.” Blouse, pants and sash: Marc Jacobs This love of fashion is relatively new for Boynton—it’s not as if she grew up the Carrie Bradshaw of her friend group, sketching dress designs in her free time and buying copies of Vogue instead of dinner. There was a time not long ago when clothes legitimately unnerved her. “Because when you're younger, fashion is all based in insecurity,” she says. Today, Boynton may be a successful actress who designers like Celine and Gucci are clamouring to dress, but she remembers how unwelcoming fashion can feel: “It can be an intimidating thing, a self-conscious thing,” she says, “but it's been really liberating just getting older and deciding Fuck it—I want to wear this because it makes me feel like me. I just want to be that person who always looks comfortable and very much themselves.” The daughter of two London journalists, Boynton became the first movie star in her family when she was cast to play a young Renée Zellweger in the British-American film Miss Potter at age 12. But she took a long break from show business before starting to audition again at 20. It wasn’t until two years ago, right before she scored her first big American role in 2017’s Murder on the Orient Express, that she started working with her stylist, Leith Clark, whose roster of clients includes the impeccably dressed Keira Knightley and Felicity Jones. Only since teaming up with Clark has Boynton gained the access necessary to develop a strong taste in clothes and the vocabulary to describe it: “I love romantic, ethereal shapes and materials—a cinched waist and a big skirt,” Boynton says of her aesthetic, which she credits to the influence of British television. “Period pieces and BBC dramas,” she swoons. “I could live in those silhouettes.” On red carpets, Boynton counts Prada, Miu Miu, Gucci and (especially) Erdem among her favourite designers to wear, however, last night's BAFTA ceremony look (where Bohemian Rhapsody's Rami Malek bagged the Best Actor gong) came courtesy of Dior. Boynton recalls working with Prada for a red carpet premiere in 2017: “At first I put on this very appropriate black lace thing, but it just didn’t feel like me. I think you can tell when I love what I'm wearing—and you can tell when I don't. Prada wanted me to feel like myself.” Boynton wound up choosing a baby pink pajama set patterned with robots, which she paired with an equally pink coat and silver platform shoes. “It was slightly aggressively out there,” she says, “but it’s still one of my favorite outfits.” The designers let Boynton keep the PJs; “I now I basically live in them,” she adds. Dress and cardigan: Miu Miu The attention paid to Boynton’s red carpet style has intensified noticeably since that gold Celine number made headlines in January. The scrutiny has come as a surprise to Boynton, who swears she had no plans of stealing anyone’s focus at the Globes. “I actually had a moment of panic when people started writing about that dress, saying, ‘What is she going to wear next?’” she admits. “There was so much pressure on it when actually I just chose that dress because I felt like I looked confident in it.” Humbly, Boynton is still getting used to top designers wanting to dress her (and fashion magazines wanting to write about her). “I was genuinely so surprised that Celine wanted to work with me,” she says. “Actually, when I first saw a picture of that gold dress, I thought it was not me at all—no, absolutely not, never. But when you get opportunities like that, it’s a chance to explore fashion further, so that in your own life, when you can’t exactly afford New Celine dresses, you know which direction to venture into.” As Boynton continues to catapult forward professionally (in her next major project, she’ll play a lead in Ryan Murphy’s new Netflix comedy series, The Politician, coming later this year), she’s open to her style evolving and has no strategy in mind other than only wearing what makes her feel most authentically herself. “So as long as I feel right in an outfit, I will never regret it,” she says. When begged to give us a hint about her upcoming Oscars dress, Boynton grins and takes another coy sip of Diet Coke. “I’ll just say it's a custom dress by designers I’ve been obsessed with for a while. They’ve been sending sketches,” she says. “I’m very, very excited.” Watching eagerly from afar to see what our new favorite fashion star of 2019 will do next, so are we.
It’s 2018, so we can’t go ten minutes without hearing the words “blockchain,” “Bitcoin,” or “Tide pods.” I only want to talk about the first two because, honestly, enough with the Tide pods, people. (Please end this meme, Internet). If you’ve asked what Bitcoin is, someone has likely explained it to you by saying something along the lines of: “Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency based on blockchain transactions recorded in a distributed ledger and is, therefore, virtually unhackable.” That explanation brings on two follow up questions: - Why was that explanation so horrible? - Who cares about this? The first answer is easy: very few people understand how blockchain transactions work, and so it’s hard to find good explanations. To put things more simply, Bitcoin is a currency, just like the Dollar or the Euro. It has value based on what people are willing to accept for it, in the same way that we all just agree that a piece of paper that says “Five Dollars” is worth a 12-inch sub (no comment on whether the sub is worth five dollars). That’s the easy part. The confusing piece is how blockchain fits in. Blockchain is a simple idea with substantial implications for commerce, banking, trade, and law. It is a way of recording verified transactions across many servers and hard drives so that the transactions cannot be altered in any way. When you pay for something by writing a check, it’s recorded in a ledger by your bank and the recipient’s bank when they deposit it. When you pay for something in Bitcoin, the transaction is recored on thousands of ledgers. And because it is recorded in so many places (“distributed ledger”), it is very hard to conceive of a transaction that would be altered, deleted, or faked. That last piece is the answer to your “who cares” question. The promise of blockchain (and, to a lesser extent, of cryptocurrency) is that it is close to tamper-proof, and it provides a way to have transparency and predictability in transactions. The implications range from the impressive (automated real estate transactions, equitable contract drafting) to the idiotic. But if your business engages in any transactions (which, of course, it does), then the possibility of a secure, permanent, unalterable record of transactions must have obvious appeal. Is it perfect? No. Anyone who tells you that technology is foolproof either doesn’t understand the technology or is hoping you don’t. Blockchain presents serious questions regarding GDPR compliance, error-correction, and amenability to wider commercial use. And, of course, if your own device and your own private key are compromised, the security of the blockchain transaction will be cold comfort in the wake of a theft. Unlike other trends that have already been forgotten (Remember covfefe? That was less than a year ago), blockchain is not a meme or a temporary fad. The likelihood is that it will become a more common aspect of financial and commercial transactions. Understanding its risks and benefits its essential to deciding if, when, and how to use it.

Today’s cold snap reminds us. Winter is coming! The first frost for Toronto statistically falls around October 29th. But when overnight temps dip into the low single digits, like now, we know that anything could happen. So today, in honour of Cathy’s In a Vase on Monday (IAVOM) over on Rambling in the Garden, I took pity on some of my tenderer plants and rescued them for my indoor enjoyment. Actually, as I’ve mentioned before, despite their tender look, annual nasturtiums (Tropaeolum majus) are pretty tough customers, and can take a fair bit of coolth (the flip side of warmth). There are lots of seeds strewn around to gather for next year, though. Before the real big chill comes, I also have geranium (Pelargonium) and Begonia cuttings overdue for the taking, Dahlia tubers and Gladiolus corms to dig up once the frost comes, and a few shrubs in pots that will need winter homes in the ground. Plus, about 500 bulbs to plant. Yes, at ordering time this spring, my eyes were way bigger than my current appetite for bulb planting. I’m loving this IAVOM meme, which gives me the excuse every week to do one of the things I like best. And it’s quicker and easier than planting 500 bulbs. Don’t you agree?

A fan gets Jossed when the elaborate Epileptic Trees or Fanfic that they've lovingly built upon canonical elements is abruptly disproved by further canon or by the Word of God. Named after Joss Whedon; Buffy the Vampire Slayer was notorious for this, as fans would come up with detailed and elaborate theories or plots during summer hiatuses, most of which got completely thrown out within three episodes of the new season. May lead to Fanon Discontinuity when disgruntled Fans prefer their own Fanon to official facts. In extreme cases critics and fans may invoke Death of the Author to preserve their interpretation of events. This trope has two opposites: I Knew It!, where the fan theory is proven to be true by a twist that was planned all along, and Sure Why Not, where the author decides to promote some Fanon elements to Canon status. The inverse of this trope is Shrug of God, where the author refuses to say that one answer is more "correct" than another. Note: In some circles, the term "Jossed" refers to a gutwrenching main character death, which Joss Whedon is also famous for. This definition entered the populace when during a Q&A session at an Australian university, a young Aussie girl noted his tendency to do horrible things to on-screen couples, and to much laughter, said "We call it getting 'Jossed'". Also note: On the Wild Mass Guessing pages, please don't simply post "Jossed" after WMGs that have been disproven. To do so is to create something similar to a Zero Context Example. Add some content about it explaining why, and also consider leaving the "Jossed" off. Anime & Manga - The new OVA-verse Tenchi Muyo! installments jossed many of the assumptions the fanbase had come to hold dear -- for instance, that Tenchi's Bumbling Dad Nobuyuki was a Muggles, instead of being in on the Masquerade with Katsuhito/Yosho. Fans tend to ignore the new installment, but usually not because of the Jossing. - Pokémon's been particularly vulnerable to Jossing in later seasons: "Ash will get Buizel" (Dawn does, but Ash does trade for it later), "Ash will get Hippopotas" (nobody does), "Ash will get Shieldon" (same), "Paul is a starting trainer (he's been a trainer as long as Ash has)". - Probably one of the biggest josses for the fandom was the DP episode that finally revealed once and for all that Pikachu is Male, shooting down a lot of fans who assumed the opposite. - A rescent BW episode officially confirmed that pokemon in the anime can only learn 4 moves total. - Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch: - Caren, Noel and Coco, upon their return in the middle of season two, will get their own plot arc and be important again. (Jossed by the first episode in which they reappear, in which it is blatantly pointed out that they can't defeat a member of the new Quirky Miniboss Squad to themselves, and have to go be comic relief. They do, however, get a brief shining moment in the manga.) - Lucia and Kaito will get a duet. (Became more and more likely when an extra song called "Birth of Love" was announced on the album. Then it was used in the show... as a new Seira song.) - The Great One is Michal. (Jossed by the episode with Rihito's concert.) - In Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle, almost all the fans were certain that Syaoran was the same Syaoran as in Cardcaptor Sakura, coming off as slightly reluctant to woo his obvious crush because he was already committed to her Alternate Universe-equivalent. Turns out, he isn't CCS Syaoran, but the son of an alternate universe version of CCS Syaoran, using his dad's name and abilities. He's been romancing an alternate universe clone of his mom...and always known about it. Cue the Abandon Shipping of a canon pairing by a decent chunk of the fanbase. - Actually his mother is the reincarnated clone of his girlfriend, which is not as squicky. Just confusing. It's better to just realize that they are both Syaorans and Sakuras in a very twisted world. - This has actually been even further Jossed, in that the theories spawned by finding out who his parents basically are (so to speak. Damn dimensional doubles.) were all wrong. The second Syaoran is actually the son of the clones reincarnated as opposed to the CCS couple, which has quite broken a lot of brains, thankyouverymuch. - In Code Geass, the popular fan theory that Lelouch faked his death at the end of the series has been Jossed in official materials released after the ending, as well as numerous interviews where the entire staff and cast says that he's dead for real. Then for good measure the Official Guide Book mentions it 5 times, and the special edition DVD replaces the entire last scene (which sparked the fan theory in the first place) with a monologue by C.C stating clearly that Lelouch is dead. - Well, not quite. The director has said he personally prefers Shrug of God with regards to this. But, the writer has pronounced him dead. - There were a select few in the fandom who continued to insist that Clovis should rise from the dead. Or more realistically(?) wind up alive for all that time, as a Geass-possessing Big Bad. There was a reason 4Channers rigged that character popularity poll... - One Piece: Boa Hancock being Luffy's mom was a pretty popular theory for a while, even though its only basis was that they sorta looked alike. (in a manga story where young-ish characters kind of look alike anyway.) It got Jossed when she fell in love with him. - This example is probably going to go down in history because of how obsessed fandom was with this theory at some point despite the utter lack of real evidence. Pretty embarrassing for a lot of people in retrospect. - Word of God has recently soundly jossed many theories surrounding Tashigi, including her being blood related to Kuina or her being Kuina brought back to life. Their being twins was an especially popular fandom theory for years, which is why it hasn't quite died yet despite said Word of God and a side story that explicitly showed that Kuina was an only child. - Hellsing. The true species of the Major ( he's a cyborg) was only introduced in the last chapters, and before that he was considered either a vampire or some weird magical human. And then of course in the aforementioned last chapters, almost everybody died. - Naruto Jossed a bunch of theories involving Akatsuki members Itachi, Pain, and Tobi when it turned out that Itachi was a good guy, Pain's true identity is Nagato, and Tobi is both Madara Uchiha and Akatsuki's true leader. Chapter 474 finally Jossed the theory of Danzo being Madara by merit of them facing off against each other. - While, later on in the series, Tobi turns out not to be Madara! - A lot of theories about the bijuu were Jossed with the revelation that they were split from the Ten Tails by the Sage of the Six Paths, and again with the reveal that a bijuu will "die," but reform later if its host is killed. Not to mention Naruto's mother Kushina being the previous Kyuubi jinchuuriki. - Katekyo Hitman Reborn to an extent too because there was Ryohei/Kyoko, Ryohei/Colonello, Ryohei/whoever the hell people liked pairing with him but Amano Jossed everyone by pretty much canoning Ryohei/Hana but saying that'll probably end with a Ship War. Not that many people gave a crap about Ryohei anyway. Amano likes Jossing people a lot seeing as most of her plot points descend from random possibly LSD caused ideas. Or so it would seem... - Tsuna's box animal was also up for debate for a long time until it was pretty much canon'd going against pretty much everyone's ideas. - The 6 real funeral wreaths did anyone honestly guess that Kikyo is the CLOUD guardian??? - In Bleach Kubo Tite Jossed a theory that almost the entire fandom thought to be unquestionable truth: that Ichigo is Kaien's reincarnation. It turned out that Kaien's soul never reincarnated but was trapped in Aaroniero until Rukia freed him. Reactions varied, especially in the shippers' corner where many IchiRuki fans had regarded the theory as the ultimate proof that the pair was destined to be together. (Even though Kaien was married. To someone other than Rukia.) The truth is explained below... - Also Jossed was the notion that Ichigo's Bumbling Dad Isshin was nothing more than what he seemed, and thus beyond being able to see spirits there was nothing special about Ichigo until Rukia's power was transferred to him. Most fans just assumed his rapid growth in power was merely the result of him being The Hero in a Shonen series, combined with the unique method used to restore his Shinigami powers when he lost them. But then it was revealed that Isshin is a former Shinigami Captain, who was just pretending to be a moron all along, and thus Ichigo was half-Shinigami from the start (as are his sisters, for that matter), and thus his later experiences largely just unlocked potential that was there all along. And much later, this tied into another theory being jossed too... Isshin not only was a Shinigami Captain (and the former leader of Toshiro and Rangiku's squad), but he was the leader of the Shiba clan and the uncle of the Shiba siblings. So Ichigo and Kaien's similarities? They were all a part of their Strong Family Resemblance: they're cousins. - It was recently Jossed that Aizen has planned out everything Ichigo has done through the series. This includes not just his fights, but also his first meeting with Rukia that allowed him to become a Shinigami. This has upset many shippers who originally used the tagline that their meeting was destiny, and are wildly denying such a declaration. Even though, Aizen could have easily just mixed up paperwork on purpose, he's Aizen after all. - In regards to this one, it was speculated that Aizen placed the Hogyoku inside Rukia's body a LONG time ago. It was a special favorite of the IchiRuki rabidshippers who thought of it as an evidence that Rukia had ~the purest soul in Soul Society~ and thus was the best choice for Ichigo. The reasoning for it also said that her soul being so pure was that her zanpakuto was pure white and considered the most beautiful ice and snow element sword.. When it was ultimately revealed that the Hogyoku was only placed inside Rukia's gigai by Urahara at the end of the first chapter of the manga, the rabid fans either RAGED or went into total denial. - Particularly during the Turn Back the Pendulum flashback arc, theories about Aizen being the ultimate Anti-Hero and him teaming up with Urahara and the Vizards ran wild after the revelation of the Maggot's Nest. Then the conclusion to the arc rolled around revealing that Aizen was the one responsible for the Vizards' condition. - Hunter X Hunter has dropped a Bridget on many fanboys in the form of the Databook. First there was Kurapika, then Karuto, and then there was the whole business of Pitou's gender. - Black Jack: Osamu Tezuka did a second story about Kei/Megumi apparently solely to Joss speculation that she'd spontaneously turned into a man after her hysterectomy and loss of ovaries. - Pretty Cure has had a good few of these: - Futari wa Pretty Cure Splash Star: Some fans believed that Nagisa and Honoka would mentor Saki and Mai, until the two series were cemented as strict alternate continuities. A much crackier theory posited that the girls would eventually fight EVIL BREAD, due to the Hyuuga family's bakery job. Bread was one of the few inanimate objects of any significance that were never turned into a monster during the series. - Yes! Pretty Cure 5: Masuko Mika was thought to be a potential Sixth Ranger by the fanbase for a time, but never made it past comic relief, for the most part. The aforementioned slot ended up going to Milk come next series. - Fresh Pretty Cure: A good number of fans suspected Kaoru-chan, the girls' mysteriously savvy donut vendor friend of being the Kingdom of Sweet's Elder Tiramisu in human form, a theory that more or less went up in smoke around episode 29. Before that, parts of the fanbase insisted that Setsuna, thought to be the unrevealed Cure Passion was either too obvious a candidate for the position, too awesome as a villain, or both; hence, the Akarun was going to be granted to some new girl we'd never met around mid-season, tradition be damned. It went to Setsuna. - Heartcatch Pretty Cure: Tsukikage Yuri/Cure Moonlight was thought to be either dead, captured, or free but smacked with Laser-Guided Amnesia until episode 8, when she was shown to be alive and in full possession of her memories. The Dark Pretty Cure was also thought to be Moonlight's former partner, Cure Sunshine, until Moonlight was cemented as working alone and Sunshine turned up as a brand new Cure. - Suite Pretty Cure: Siren was suspected to be Cure Muse by a good portion of the fandom. The fact that Siren defected from the villains' side and started showing some suspicious behavior right before Muse debuted appeared to clinch this...until both characters appeared in the same scene in episode 13. - A popular theory in Nabari no Ou fandom was that the kitten Yukimi found and named Yoite was Yoite's reincarnation. It was completely jossed in the final chapter when Yoite shows up again and Yukimi goes out of his way to rename the cat "Yoi". - In the Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's fandom it was a popular theory that Z-ONE's true identity was Yusei from the ruined future. Episode 148 even went on a big tease with showing Z-ONE having the same face as Yusei. But instead he turned out to be a random scientist in the future who had genetically modified his body to have Yusei's exact appearance, sans part of the head. Fans were not happy about this. - The final ending of the Non-Serial Movie version of Macross Frontier left most of the fanbase believing (and a warning for fans of the show, this spoiler text is the Mother Of All Spoilers as far as you're concerned) Alto was dead, Sheryl stayed in a coma, and they were basically Together in Death. An interview with Kawamori Jossed this: Alto survived, Sheryl woke up, Happy Ending. - In the end of the first Non-Serial Movie for Slayers, the ancestor of one of the heroes is able to get together with the elf girl he's in love with because of the Time Travel plot Lina creates. However, the creator of the Light Novel series (and the entire franchise) spoke in an interview that the elf and the human ancestor, in the end, didn't wind up together because of the implications of a disturbing Mayfly-December Romance...as in, because elves in this franchise age at half the speed that humans do, then the girl would still be considered a child while the human grows into manhood. - Initially, Zelgadiss speculates whether the priest Rezo is his grandfather or great-grandfather (as he's old to the point that Zelgadiss cannot clearly pinpoint how they're related) and Kanzaka confirmed that he's three generations removed in another interview. However, when the anime was first translated, a mishap caused the fandom to believe that Rezo was both, leaving rumors of incest running amok in Zelgadiss' family. One wouldn't gain the contrary evidence unless they either found a translation of the interviews or read the first translated novel (which used the correct implication). - A great deal of Fairy Tail fanficcers liked (and still like) to claim that Natsu and the rest of the guild would begin to ignore Lucy for some reason when Lisanna was revealed to still be alive. 60+ chapters later, Natsu and Lucy's bond is stronger than ever, and he and Lisanna have said perhaps four or five sentences to each other. - Apparently there was some fanfic of the then-fictional board game "Escape from Zyzzlvaria" invented for a 2002 MIT Mystery Hunt puzzle, written when it was announced the board game would be defictionalized for the 2009 Hunt. When game character "Captain Blastoid" first appeared in the flesh, played by Jennifer Braun, the fic about a male Blastoid was suddenly a Gender Flip. Films -- Animated - Many people (some less serious than others) theorized that Elsa is a mutant, pointing out at Disney's purchase of Marvel to back up their argument. Frozen 2 finally puts this theory to rest: Elsa was given her powers by a magical snow spirit, meaning her powers are purely magical in nature. Films -- Live Action - Rose Da Silva in Silent Hill was perceived as being a Gender Flip of Harry Mason. Revelations reveals that her previously established husband is in fact Harry Mason, thus debunking that notion. - Likewise, Word of God confirmed that the 2013 Evil Dead isn't a remake, but a sequel with a case of Recycled Title. That debunks the notion of Mia being a Gender Flip of Ash (before Ash vs. Evil Dead killed the franchise, there were plans for a movie starring both Ash and Mia). - When Anton Ivanov showed up in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., many assumed he was the MCU version of Red Guardian, even though this had zero official backing. Black Widow finally debunks that notion by featuring the actual MCU version of Red Guardian. - On the same note, Word of God mentioned MODOK as a potential villain for the third Ant-Man movie, debunking the notion that Anton was meant to be the MCU version of MODOK. - Prior to the release of the Star Wars prequels, it was widely accepted by fans that the Clone Wars were fought by the Republic against an army or armies of clones (after all, wars are usually named according to who the victor fought against, rather than by the nature of the victor's army), and that the Clone Wars happened well before the Empire formed. When the Essential Guides (compendiums of movie and EU knowledge) were revised and republished starting after the release of Episode II, a lot of time was spent retconning the previous versions of the Guides, often with the excuse that in the wake of the Empire's rise, much information was lost or destroyed, and there were some rogue clones. - Much of Boba Fett's EU history was tossed out in the Prequels as well. There is no mention of Mandalorians, and Fett winds up being a clone of his "father". In all fairness, he had in-universe cultivated multiple pasts for himself to increase his mystique. - New EU sources show that Boba's father Jango was in fact a Mandalorian, and also that some of the erroneous information about Boba's past was actually from Jango's life. Other parts come from Boba using Jango's late mentor's name as an alias during his early life, and from a rogue Clone Trooper (who would of course look exactly like Boba under the helmet) being mistaken for him. - Jedi family life! And then the movie implies celibacy, but Lucas Josses that again with a statement in an interview that the Jedi have casual sex and only casual sex. - Even back in the days of the original trilogy there was much fan speculation going around, which was then Jossed by the second and third movies. A somewhat infamous example of this happening to official media is the novel Splinter of the Minds Eye, which was published only a year after the first movie when the possibility of any film sequels was still uncertain. As a result, it has a number of things which may not directly contradict later movies, but at least they are pretty weird when you consider later plot developments. - In Star Wars the term "Star Destroyer" led to some fan speculation that because they are called Star Destroyers, that meant they were destroyer-class vessels, even though they have also been referred to as cruisers, battleships, and dreadnoughts as well, and Darth Vader referred to the Executor as his Star Destroyer in ESB. Eventually, in Starships of the Galaxy Saga Edition, there was a note in the Super Star Destroyer section establishing that Star Destroyer is not really a class of ship in the traditional sense so much as a design philosophy (lots of guns and a dagger shape to be able to point all those guns forward), and that Star Destroyer is meant to be capitalized as to distinguish it from star cruisers, star dreadnoughts, and actual destroyer-class vessels that happen to be starships. - The promotional campaign leading up to the release of Cloverfield was more or less intended to produce Epileptic Trees of all varieties, which it did. Fan speculation identified the monster, unseen in trailers, to be any number of previously established beings - Cthulhu, Godzilla, Voltron, Donkey Kong Jesus Riding on a Puff of Smoke - instead of what it actually was, an immature sea creature that was awakened from dormancy from a falling satellite and became huge after exposure to a soft drink additive. This is not spelled out in the movie, but it's All There in the Manual. Probably... - The film's writer has since stated that the viral marketing (i.e. the "Manual") was created without his input, and possibly without the input of the director, or creator/producer J.J. Abrams. Furthermore, in his opinion, what's in the film is what matters, and no Word of God can Joss anything because each member of the creative team have differing theories. - It is likely that David Lynch's reluctance to confirm or deny anything about the ambiguous aspects of his work is to avoid offending his fans in this way. - In part. Lynch is also an artist, and knowing that art is in the eye of the beholder, the man is truly serious about leaving space for you to fill in details. But not ticking off those that make their own conclusions is no small side benefit, either.. - He has also admitted that sometimes he simply films things that pop into his mind and seem interesting, and doesn't worry so much about explaining them. - It was taken as gospel that the Audi 8 Decepticon in the Transformers Film Series was a reformatted Barricade. However, he was recently revealed as Sideways. - Many theories about Harry Potter have been repeatedly Jossed with the release of each successive book, with The Deathly Hallows Jossing the most. Numerous Fan Fics featuring a female Blaise Zabini got Jossed when The Half-Blood Prince was released. - After the release of Deathly Hallows, a rapid succession of ship-related Jossings ensued when Word of God informed the eager fans that three of their beloved characters ended up with love interests who were not even introduced in the series. This earned a fan nickname of its own: "Getting Rolfed," named after Luna's husband who was introduced in this way. - Also after Deathly Hallows, Rowling even managed to Joss the fanfiction writers who speculated about Dumbledore, particularly his romantic feelings. Given the many bizarre ideas written about him, stunning the fan base with the news he was: 1) gay all along; and 2) smart enough to keep it in his pants and out of the Quibbler was actually the nicest way in the world to snap back at the ficcers. - Not to mention the large section of the fanbase who were convinced that Dumbledore wasn't really dead, despite Jo stating outright that the one thing magic absolutely 'cannot' do is bring people back from the dead. - Not to mention the constant speculation as to what each book would be called. A persistent one was Harry Potter and the Green Flame Torch, a meme originating in a Continuation Fanfic on the Harry Potter Connection which spread across the internet. J.K. Rowling herself memorably sporked the speculation but even today "Green Flame Torch" turns up 86 hits on Fanfiction.net. - One of the most popular theories was Sirius being gay, due to his Ho Yay friendship with Lupin (and, according to the Yaoi Fangirls, the rest of Marauders). When he was pretty much proven as straight by Deathly Hallows, the fans immediately started claiming he might have been bisexual, despite their previous insistence that he only liked men, just men, no girls in the picture, really. - During the Three-Year Summer, one of the few facts known for sure about Harry Potter and The Order of The Phoenix was that Arabella Figg, Harry's apparently Muggle babysitter from the first book, would turn out to be more than she appeared. Naturally, fanfiction assumed that she would play a big part in the story, portraying her usually as a badass Cool Old Lady who becomes the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. Some fanfics even Hand Waved her old age, making her a hot Action Girl in a magical disguise. When Phoenix actually came out, it was revealed in the first two chapters that she was a Muggle Born of Mages whom Dumbledore had assigned to keep an eye on Harry. She had a very minor role in the book and was very different in personality from what fans had expected, being a Cloudcuckoolander Maiden Aunt type. In any case, the fanon version of Arabella died a quick death after that. - The most popular Wheel of Time theory was that the Forsaken Demandred was in disguise as Mazrim Taim, the false Dragon who knew how to test to see if a man could channel. There were also other hints that compared the two, but the whole thing was Jossed when Robert Jordan blankly stated that Mazrim Taim was not Demandred. - Aside from that and a few other instances, though, Jordan was notorious for refusing to give straight answers, reputedly because he was amused by the rabid fan discussions on some of the more hotly debated topics. - Even this Word of God Jossing came only after fairly extensive evidence against the Taimandred theory was published in Book 9 - it wasn't enough to convince some. - Every now and then a new reader will connect the dots and come up with the Taimandred theory on their own, prompting agonized groans from every Wo T forum on the web. - In the Dragaera series, a popular fan theory was that Kragar was actually legendary assassin Mario Greymist, even though the author Steven Brust insisted something like "no one is anyone else" which isn't actually true since Sethra Lavode and Kiera the Thief are one and the same. This was jossed in Dzur where Mario makes an appearance. - In a more trivial example, a popular belief that pigs either either didn't exist on Dragaera, or were referred to as "kethna", got shot down in Athyra. - In the latter sense of the word, George R. R. Martin is particularly infamous in his "A Song of Ice and Fire" series for destroying any happy relationships and suddenly and without warning killing off random good/light grey characters, arguably making it the home of the densest population of karma houdinis ever. - In the first book, he destroy's Danaerys Targaryen's first ever happy period by killing off her "Sun-and-Stars," Khal Drogo. - Also in the first book, he kills arguably the nicest guy in the series, Eddard Stark with absolutely no warning. - He continues, deciding to blow up Tyrion's relationship with Shae, goes back in time to reveal that Tyrion's wife, supposedly a whore hired to pop his cherry by his brother, genuinely did love him, knocks off about half of the arguable good guys at the Red Wedding, teased that Davos Seaworth was executed before revealing it to be untrue, has Jeor Mormont murdered, kills off Jon Snow's love interest, kills Qhorin Halfhand, and deliberately leaves fans in a state of agony over whether Jon Snow is dead. It's a big list. - On a note that zig-zags with the Live Action Television folder, it was confirmed that the infamous ending of Season 8 of Game of Thrones is how Martin intended (and presumably still intends) to end the book series, thus debunking the notion that the TV writers and/or producers came up with the ending themselves, and/or that the books would end differently. - Older Than Steam: Between publication of Book I and Book II of Don Quixote, several novels written by another author featuring the title character were published. In Book II, Cervantes specifically referred to the non-canonical books as being false, going so far as to have the characters in the novel read these alternate stories and deride them as ludicrous inaccuracies. - After the early books in the Twilight series, many fans were asking about the idea of vampire babies, and Stephenie Meyer apparently Jossed this by saying that vampires couldn't get pregnant. Cue outraged claims of outright lies when Breaking Dawn came out and Edward gets Bella pregnant...at which point Meyer calmly points out that her Exact Words were that vampires couldn't get pregnant, and that she had never outright addressed the concept of a male vampire impregnating a human female, instead relying on the fans' own assumptions to keep that plot detail a secret until she was ready to reveal it -- turning this into an I Knew It!. - Fans of Hitch Hikers Guide to The Galaxy tried to find hidden meaning in the fact that the Ultimate Answer to Life, The Universe and Everything was "42" while the Ultimate Question was "What do you get when you multiply six by nine?". Some observed that, in Base 13, 6 x 9 is 42. Adams famously responded "I don't write jokes in Base 13". In the same vein, attempts to assign deeper meaning to the number 42 in the first place were Jossed when he said he pretty much picked the number at random, decided it sounded good, and went with it. - However, Stephen Fry stated, possibly jokingly, "Douglas told me in the strictest confidence exactly why 42. The answer is fascinating, extraordinary and, when you think hard about it, completely obvious. Nonetheless amazing for that. Remarkable really. But sadly I cannot share it with anyone and the secret must go with me to the grave. Pity, because it explains so much beyond the books. It really does explain the secret of life, the universe, and everything." - According to a famous anecdote, Hungarian poet Janos Arany once came across the notes a teacher had written about his poems. After reading the phrase "The poet is trying to say..." for the umpteenth time, Arany succinctly wrote on the margin: "The hell I was." - According to Isaac Asimov, when he was in school taking a course on modern literature, a man stood up at the back of the class and to the instructor loudly proclaimed: "That's not at all what was written!" When the teacher asked who the man was, he got the reply: "I'm the author," to which the instructor succinctly answered: "Then your opinion is really irrelevant here." Asimov accepted this in good grace. - During a radio discussion of the popular young children's book The Tiger Who Came To Tea the participants suggested their theories of what the tiger represented - the intrusion of danger into the comfortable world of childhood, that sort of thing. When the author came on she said no, it was just a silly story about a tiger. - Many EU Star Trek novels were Jossed by new movies and the Enterprise series. One memorable example is Federation by Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens, which was written mostly from the viewpoint of Zefram Cochrane, as well as Kirk and Picard. For one thing, he's much less of a jerk in this book than in First Contact. The book even included the origin of the Starfleet symbol (a sketch of a warp field by Cochrane). In the book, Cochrane's flight happens before World War Three, which he waits out on Alpha Centauri, while Colonel Greene and his Nazi-like troops attempt to exterminate all non-Optimals. A well-written, emotional novel, casually brushed off in favor of something with the Borg. - William Shatner's own novels dealing with the Mirror Universe had the origin of the split Jossed by the In the Mirror, Darkly episode. This one actually followed the First Contact movie with Cochrane flipping a coin to decide on whether to tell the Vulcans about the Borg. In the Trek 'verse, he doesn't. In the Mirror Universe, he does. They believe him and form a more militaristic union to prepare. It goes downhill from there. - This happens frequently in The Dresden Files fandom, either due to new books or Word of God, and is referred to as "being Butchered." - Ray Bradbury has said of Fahrenheit 451 that, despite the interpretation of nearly everyone, ever, the novel is not about censorship, but the role of television in destroying interest in literature. He walked out of a class at UCLA where the students insisted that the popular interpretation was correct. - Among the Warrior Cats fandom, there was a popular theory that Pinestar was the father of Firestar. However, it jossed on the author's Facebook. Although it doesn't stop people from coming up with the theory... - In the final book of Percy Jackson and The Olympians, a major plot point involves the titular character obtaining the Curse of Achilles which includes one vulnerable spot that feels like a thousand volts of electricity arcing through his body when touched. Don't think for a second that shippers didn't pick up on and make good use of this, all of which got thrown out the window in the sequel series, The Heroes of Olympus, when Percy promptly loses the Curse in the second chapter of the first book that he actually appears in. - In 1893 Sir Arthur Conan Doyle killed off Sherlock Holmes in The Final Problem, and John Kendrick Bangs took this opportunity to write In Pursuit of the House-boat (1897), a fantasy novel in which the detective goes to the afterlife and meets a bunch of famous historical figures. But this fanciful tale of Holmes' post-mortem adventures was rudely jossed when Conan Doyle revealed, in 1903, that the detective had never really gone over the waterfall after all. - A fictional, Older Than Feudalism example: In Lucian's True History, the narrator gets to the Isles of the Blest, and meets, among others, Homer. Homer tells him that everyone's wrong about where he's from (he's actually Babylonian) and that all the lines bracketed as not really Homeric by scholars are, in fact, his. Then the narrator asks why he began the Iliad with the word menis [wrath]: "and he said it came to him that way, without his intending anything." All this pretty clearly meant to make fun of the various theories held by scholars at the time. Live Action TV - Sometimes even official sources get Jossed. An example of this is the online animated Doctor Who story "Scream of the Shalka", starring Richard E. Grant as the Doctor, which was meant to be the official continuation of the series from where the TV movie left off... Until the actual show came back on and totally disregarded it. - Any idea that the new Doctor Who series was a reboot (or that the film was considered discontinuity, making Eccleston the real Eighth Doctor, Tennant the Ninth and so on) was immediately thrown out once Sarah Jane Smith and K-9 appeared and Tennant's Doctor mentions regenerating "half a dozen times" in the same episode. In several episodes, starting with 2007's "Human Nature", McGann's Doctor's face explicitly appears on screen. - Who fans are used to being Jossed by now; the new series in particular takes a perverse pleasure in contradicting Fanon without having violated any actual Canon. The Doctor's references to his family in "The Empty Child", "The Doctor's Daughter", "Fear Her" and "Smith and Jones" have evoked particular Jossing. Even though his granddaughter Susan is introduced in the very first episode of the entire show, many fans maintained that the Doctor was asexual in some way. One uncharitable theory is that the Doctor was retconned this way by his more rabid fans on the principle that if they've never had sex, why should he...? (In one of the Big Finish Doctor Who audios, the Doctor clearly and unequivocally says that he has never been a father, but (a) that's not part of the TV show, (b) the Doctor lies pretty often and (c) the MST3K Mantra is recommended with the sheer amount of writers the show has). - The Doctor's "you watch too much TV" reaction in "The Sound of Drums" to Martha's suggestion that the Master could his brother is a particularly self-aware example, because the fandom had been throwing that idea around for years. - Before The End of Time, many fanfics were written to undo the Fate Worse Than Death forced upon Donna Noble. At the end of Part I it appeared as if she was beginning to remember her time with the Doctor, but this is resolved by the Doctor putting some sort of 'release-valve' in her mind to protect her, and she spends most of Part II unconscious. She never does remember (and apparently there is absolutely nothing that can be done by anyone ever to help her), and now never will since it has been confirmed that her story is over and will never appear in the series again. In effect, everything she was is Deader Than Dead. Number of fanfics Jossed: Too many to number, and they are still being written. - The creators of Lost have specifically shot down the fan theory that the survivors of Oceanic Flight 815 are actually all dead and in a kind of purgatory, despite the belief that this was the only explanation that actually made Season One make any kind of sense. Lingering hopes of this being true have been thoroughly Jossed as the fourth and sixth seasons actually does allow several of the main characters to escape the island and return to the real world. Although in either a Take That or a Shout-Out, one of those returnees "now" holds the theory that he and the other "Oceanic 6" are in fact dead. - Richard hangs a Lampshade on this in "Ab Aeterno", declaring that he, at least, considers the island to be Hell. - Possibly as a lampshade hanging, in season 6, the ghost of Michael reveals to Hurley that the island actually does serve as an instance of purgatory for people who have committed atrocious acts while on the island. The series finale reveals that the Alternate Timeline Los Angeles where the plane didn't crash is really some kind of purgatory. - Star Trek: Enterprise. Nearly every episode went against some bit of fanon, but careful examination reveals the writers never went against canon, with near Magnificent Bastard precision (with the exception of cloaking devices appearing much earlier than previously established). - For example, several well-known alien species are encountered in Enterprise had originally received first contact later in the chronology. The dialogue carefully avoided mentioning the species by name to keep canon intact. - When T'Pol becomes an officer in Starfleet towards the end of the series, many fans cried foul claiming the original Star Trek series established that Spock was the first Vulcan to serve in Starfleet ... until some enterprising (heh) fans took time to watch the entire run of the original series on DVD only to confirm no such reference was ever made on screen, and since Paramount and Gene Roddenberry proclaimed EU sources non-canon, any references to Spock being the first in the novels and other media don't count. - The portrayal of Vulcans in general was perhaps the single biggest source of outrage: some fans took it extremely poorly that Vulcans were portrayed as arrogant, duplicitous, and generally not all that noble, despite the fact that the Vulcans previously seen in the original series, except for Spock and Sarek, showed these same traits. And even Spock and Sarek demonstrated an irrational years-long grudge. - Star Trek: The Next Generation actually did this as well. Between the end of the Original Series in 1969 and the airing of TNG in 1987, the only 'official' stories that came out were the four Star Trek movies. Because demand for Trek remained high, a good number of novels and RPG material were published, and assumed to be canon (or at least close to it,) by the fans. Apparently, Gene Roddenberry was frustrated that creative control had effectively been taken away from him (both in most of the films and the fiction,) and when he re-asserted creative control at the beginning of TNG, he deliberately ignored the corpus of work that had been done and took things in a different direction with TNG. (To be fair, because the Star Trek material had been created in a highly decentralized manner by numerous authors, there tended to be discontinuities in the material anyway.) - The strange thing is that Roddenberry added The Animated Series to his non-canon list, even though he was involved in its production, it had all of the original cast except Chekov, shared story editors, screenwriters, and directors with the live-action series, and even has the same guest stars. If that's not Star Trek, what is? - In Heroes, it was something of a no brainer (so to speak) that Sylar ate the brains of his victims. He makes frequent use of Evil Tastes Good dialogue, and Word of God itself stated that he was originally supposed to eat the brains, but they couldn't figure out a way to show it on-screen without being silly. And yet brain-eating is explicitly Jossed in a very funny scene in the first episode of Season 3. [[spoiler:Claire: Are you going to eat it? - This occasionally happens in Power Rangers. The problem is that much of the info comes from casting scripts or pre-season profiles; this info has been repeatedly wrong and/or changed when the show begins airing since 2002, but the fans keep using it as source material for fic. - The theory that Chloe might change her name to become "Lois Lane" later in life was pretty thoroughly Jossed when the actual Lois Lane showed up in season 4 (and several times afterwards by word of God). - When Jor-El's voice began telling Clark that it was his destiny to rule the people of Earth with strength, fans believed either General Zod was Clark's biological father, or that Zod had somehow intercepted the ship and placed a message inside. This was jossed by the powers that be who assured fans that Jor-El was still Clark's father. - In the 2003 remake of Battlestar Galactica, one episode revealed that there was originally a number 7 Cylon named Daniel, but Cavil destroyed them all. The fanbase went wild with Epileptic Trees over this, saying that Daniel was Starbuck's father, Starbuck herself, any or all of the imaginary friends, the thirteenth lord of Kobol, etc. Then Word of God said that no, Daniel is not Starbuck's father, will not play any part in the finale, and was only created to explain why there was no number 7, while adding to Cavil's evil backstory to boot. - Buffy the Vampire Slayer: the possible trope namer is the fandom reaction to the season 5 revelation that Drusilla sired Spike. Until this point, it was assumed that Angelus siring Spike was canon (what with Spike outright referring to Angel as his sire at least twice); suddenly almost all existing Fanged Four and Angel/Spike fics were 'Jossed'. The explanation is that "sire" can refer to any vampiric ancestor, not just the direct one. Angel sired Drusilla, so is Spike's sire - and did indeed have a mentor relationship with him, which isn't always the case. - A popular fan theory about Firefly's Shepherd Book was that he had spent time as an Operative. This has been Jossed by the Shepherd's Tale comic, which reveals that he was at one point high-ranking Alliance commander, but was working as a spy for the Browncoats the whole time. Before that he was a streetkid named Henry Evans, who joined the Independent movement to get off his homeworld. - The Skins fan theory that Effy was going to be the character who died at the end of Series 4, her mental illness Driving Her To Suicide. Instead, it was Freddie, in a plot twist so ridiculous it could have come straight out of the Whedon playbook. - Supernatural. Throughout the entirety of Season 3, fans were convinced Sam and Dean would find a way to free Dean from his deal. They didn't. - There are several examples of this in Supernatural, most often accompanied by a fan cry of 'I can't believe they actually went there!'. See Sam sleeping with Ruby and drinking her blood (both heavily debated, but many fans were convinced he Would Never) Sam breaking the final seal and defeating Lucifer, Dean not saying 'yes' to Michael, Sam saying 'yes' to Lucifer, and the list goes on.... Especially notable as Supernatural frequently managed to create some spectacular fandom explosions whenever they Jossed the fans. - Throughout much of S5 many fans believed pagan gods might ally themselves with - or in some way offer assistance to - the Winchesters. This was Jossed not once, but twice, first with Paris Hilton's self-obssessed forest god, and then with the council of pagan gods who determined the best way to avert the apocalypse would be to kill the Winchesters. On the other hand, fans were vindicated in believing the Trickster/Gabriel would become an ally, they just never quite guessed how it would work out. - A week of Brevity (starting here) focused on the life cycle of a couple. Readers following the sequence theorized that this is from the point of view of the tree in the background. However, the final strip revealed that the POV was actually from the benches the couple were sitting on throughout the sequence. - The first Kingdom Hearts game probably inspired many theories about Ansem that were invalidated by Kingdom Hearts II. Theories about "Unknown" from Final Mix and the knights from the second game's secret ending were also invalidated. - There was also quite a bit of speculation about Roxas, known only as the "Blond-Haired Kid", or BHK, after a few previews of Kingdom Hearts II were released. Many theories were in the correct vein, but as Roxas is linked to a group of people who were never mentioned at all in the first game, it was virtually impossible for anyone to guess his true identity. It got easier to pin "BHK" post-Chain of Memories. However, people had no clue how to take DiZ, with the common theory having him as the "Superior" of the Organization and Ansem's Nobody. - The fourth installment in the series, 358/2 Days, tossed a mysterious new Kairi lookalike into the events concurrent to Chain of Memories and preceding Kingdom Hearts II. There were many theories that attempted to explain who she was and why she was never mentioned before, a fairly common one being she was Kairi's Unversed (Before the fandom really knew what an Unversed was) It turned out that she was in fact a Replica infused with Sora's memories. - A fairly minor one, it was the general fandom consensus that all Nobodies looked different, such as having a different hair color, and had a different voice than their "Other", like Roxas, Namine and Xemnas did. Then Birth By Sleep rolled around and we see the "Others" of Xigbar, Xaldin, Vexen, Lexeaus, Zexion, Saix, and Axel, and, while the latter three were kids at the time, they all looked and sounded exactly like their Nobodies. It should be pointed out that Roxas, Namine and Xemnas aren't "typical" Nobodies - Devil May Cry 4 inspired a lot of fan-thought that Nero was Sparda or Vergil reincarnate, or that his Devil Bringer arm held either spirit, and would be possessed by them. Unfortunately, neither showed up in the game. Also, Dante's seemingly uncharacteristic assassination of Order leader Sanctus at the game's start inspired much speculation about his motives and whether he had pulled a Face Heel Turn. It was eventually revealed that he was pulling a Shoot the Dog and trying to kill the game's Big Bad. - As a point of interest: while not confirmed, Nero's link to Vergil is still hinted at quite a lot in the game. He wields the Yamato katana -- Vergil's weapon in Devil May Cry 3 -- and in Devil Trigger form, he is overshadowed by a demonic spirit that resembles Vergil's own Devil Trigger. Demonic Possession isn't off the table just yet. - Not to mention that the Crystal Dragon Pope explicitly stated that Nero carries the blood of Sparda. - There is an interview where a member of the staff said that Nero is actually the son of Vergil - Prior to Halo 3, Halo fans began concocting elaborate theories regarding the Forerunners' relationship to humanity and the Flood, Cortana's "ulterior motives" and what the Prophet of Truth's motivations were for wiping out the Elites. Turns out, the Forerunner simply encountered and fought the Flood, humans happened to be one of countless species the Forerunner preserved in the Ark, Cortana is always on the good guys' side, and Truth is simply a religious zealot who believed the Elites weren't faithful to the Covenant's religion. - Then that was revealed to be only part of the story. Humanity, the Prophets and the Forerunners have a history going back 200,000 years. Humanity and the Prophets (they were, at the time, allies) first encountered the Flood and cured it. However, during the Human/Prophet - Flood War, humanity attacked several Forerunner worlds to make up for lost planets. The Forerunners kicked their asses, stranding them on their homeworlds and committing alot of genocide to do so. Then the Flood came back, and the Forerunner - Flood War began. Oh, and the Halos weren't built to stop the Flood. They were built to suppress rebellion. A "low" setting sterilizes a population. This all sounds like an Ass Pull, but it isn't. In 2000, supplementary materials on halo.xbox.com said that humanity found human populations on worlds that humanity had never, ever, ever been to. The Forerunners must not have been very good at wiping us out. - After countless Chrono Trigger fanfics about the mystery behind Schala, Chrono Cross comes along with a conclusive answer, making many of them obsolete. - Then the DS remake of Trigger Jossed even more fan theories with its new ending. - After years of speculation surrounding the Mega Man series (namely, that Zero went berserk and killed the original cast), Keiji Inafune casually dismissed the theory in a question and answer session, offhandedly stating that "it was not in Zero's character." Jossed. - The ambiguous ending to Final Fantasy VII, set 500 years into the future, deliberately refused to answer whether or not humanity had survived the clash between Meteor, Holy, and the Lifestream. Then along came the Compilation (some say Complication) of Final Fantasy VII, which continued the story only a few years after said event. - Crisis Core pretty much Jossed everyone's fanfictions. Especially Zack/Cloud ones. Since turns out Cloud was not as emo as they wanted to believe. And Zack didn't meet him by saving him from bullies either...Angeal also served as a tool for Jossing too since...well...he was never even referred to until he showed up in CC thus everyone had to assume Zack randomly got the Buster Sword which...Isn't true. - The FFVII Ultimania Guides: where fanon goes to die. These publications put paid to a lot of popular fan theories. - Pre-release materials for Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts revealed the Lord of Games (L.O.G) and his role in the story, where he settles Grunty and Banjo's conflict with a contest. Some people didn't simply see L.O.G as a facilitator, and begin to speculate that Grunty might be a Disc One Final Boss, with L.O.G being the True Final Boss plotting an Evil Plan against Banjo. Later, Rare opened Facebook accounts for some of the game's characters for fans to post some questions to their walls for a limited time, with L.O.G himself among them. This gave the Banjo theorists the chance to direct their accusations to L.O.G before the game is released. His response? "What's all this talk of evil? I may be occasionally fallible and self-indulgent -- or so I'm told -- but I certainly wouldn't describe myself as evil." - Final Fantasy in general has been Jossing a lot of fan theories and fanfics since Squeenix finally started making sequels and spin-offs set in the worlds of the individual games. Apart from the Compilation of FFVII, there are also the sequels to Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy IV. On an equally annoying level, there are also the Japanese-only Ultimania information books, which often contain details, histories, and character backstories that aren't even remotely hinted at in the games, some of which would look like outrageous Epileptic Trees if they had been fan theories. - Despite heavy hints to the positive, the theory of the Wrecked Ship in Super Metroid and the Pirate Mothership in Metroid Zero Mission being the same was Jossed by Zero Mission's director not long after people started espousing it. - It's not exactly the same, but pretty much any update Kevan applies to Urban Dead tends to fly in the face of every one of the regular's beliefs about the game. - Any popular fan theory on Umineko no Naku Koro ni usually gets Jossed the very next episode, or is confirmed the next episode. - An example of this is the Kinzo is already dead theory, which was initially planned to be confirmed in episode 5, but was instead revealed in episode 4 because it became so popular after episode 3. - The reason for this is that Ryukishi07 is, reportedly, often looking at online forums to find out the current popular theories, just to have them either confirmed, played with or flat out crushed in the next episode. - Nintendo seems to take an almost vindictive glee in contradicting the Fanon that was established for the Super Mario Bros. series during those long years when the plots of the games were strictly Save the Princess affairs. The very first Mario game with an actual plot (Yoshis Island) creates an origin story for the Mario Bros. that places their birth in the Mushroom Kingdom - retconning Donkey Kong, Mario Bros, and Super Mario Bros, which collectively state they were born in Brooklyn and got to the Mushroom Kingdom through a warp pipe. It also makes them twins, even though Mario was usually held as being the older brother by years rather than by minutes. But probably the most callous example to the fandom is Shigeru Miyamoto himself saying that Mario's full name is not "Mario Mario" (and refusing to disclose their "real" surname). - This likely wasn't an intentional jossing though, Miyamoto famously doesn't care about plot, so it's dubious he or anyone on the team were aware of any Fanon. - Many fans of Half-Life believed that the G-Man was in fact Black Mesa's administrator, which was a reasonable assumption in the interim before the sequel, but was Jossed when the Administrator, now named Wallace Breen, appeared as the principle antagonist of Half-Life 2. The G-Man turned out to have an entirely separate backstory. - Similarly, Portal fans accepted Portal: Prelude, a third-party mod revolving around Aperture's backstory, as canon, until Valve laughed at their faces by proposing their own entirely new canon (which happened to also contradict their own previously made canon, but that is an entirely different story). - Ah, King of Fighters 2000. With that oh-so-tragic ending where Heidern laments a city being wiped off the map. Wait a minute...Southtown has been destroyed! What an incredibly bold move by SNK! The city that all but defined this tournament, gone, just like that! Wait a minute, are you sure it was Southtown? It had to be Southtown! Yes, it was Southtown! But they'd never...could they...yes! No! It's definitely Southtown, yes, 100% sure, no other possibility! Well, you can imagine the crushing disappointment when later games make it plainly obvious that Southtown wasn't destroyed. Even worse, we never find out which city it supposedly was and the incident is never mentioned again. Of course, you could've predicted this if you remembered that the freaking EDIT TEAM ending has never been canon in any KOF, ever. - Resident Evil 3 Nemesis would count. After several novels from S.D. Perry, Nemesis seemed planned to contradict what she wrote as much as possible. Indeed, her edition of the story comes with an author's note stating the continuity errors between book and game. As it is, Nemesis is rather faithful to the source material, if using the non canon ending. - Any Metal Gear game after Metal Gear Solid 1, take your pick. - The Wild Card ending of Fallout: New Vegas brought about many theories of the Yes Man A.I. turning against the player due to a mention of finding an upgrade that lets him be more "Assertive". However, when asked about this lead developer J.E. Sawyer stated that the upgrade was meant to ensure that Yes Man doesn't need to be monitored 24/7 and will only follow the Courier's orders, preventing someone else from hijacking the Courier's seat of power. - The fan theories of Fallout: New Vegas in general are particularly prone to being Jossed, since Sawyer keeps an active formspring account and readily answers most questions. - Hyrule Historia, a book released in 2011 as part of the 25th anniversary of The Legend of Zelda, debunked practically all timeline theories that placed the earlier 2D games (from the original to Link's Awakening, plus the Oracle games) either in the Adult Timeline or the Child Timeline of the series' overall chronology, instead placing them in a third timeline that, like the other two, has its roots in the ending of Ocarina of Time. On the positive side, the book also confirmed lots of other theories, as well as previously ambiguous or unconfirmed stuff. - A lot of English-speaking Hatoful Boyfriend fans theorised that Nageki was actually a human, but his ghost had taken the form of a mourning dove for totemic-type reasons, hence his confusion over what and who he is, and why Hiyoko is surprised to see a mourning dove in Japan. He also talks a lot about being bullied and tells Hiyoko that if you want to kill yourself, jumping out of the library window is a good way to go, implying he committed suicide because of bullying by jumping out of the window. In the full version, it's confirmed that he really was a bird, and the way in which he died and his reason for killing himself is explored in detail and something no-one could have predicted. - Many Henry Stickmin fans assumed that Jacob Rose, a character in Stealing the Diamond, was Ellie Rose's brother, since they both share the same last name. But PuffballsUnited, the creator of the Henry Stickmin games, has stated in this Twitch stream (at around 01:46:24) that Jacob has no relation to Ellie. - In Abstract Gender, many fan theories to the big conspiracy involved William Montgomery being somehow linked to the scientists. This was completely thrown out during the seventh and final chapter "Gods" where he gets transformed too, complete with a mind wipe and new personality as well. - In the Gunnerkrigg Court fandom, the two most popular theories about the identity of the third girl from the photo (that she's a relative of Gamma's, and that she's a young Jones) were immediately Jossed by the author on the forum. Since most of the fans don't hang out on the forum, these theories remained popular, until The Rant below this page put them to rest in the bluntest way possible. Also parodied in the rant on this page. The first three theories that Tom facetiously shot down were Shout Outs to to actual Epileptic Trees from the fandom. - Rich Burlew, the author of The Order of the Stick, tends to do this with many fan theories, such as Miko being zombified by Xykon, the results of a misfired poison arrow, and whether Belkar's prophecy had come true. From the FAQ: "In fact, I try not to read anything where people suggest upcoming plot ideas because I hate it when people guess what is going to happen. I feel the uncontrollable urge to change what happens, just to prove them wrong. Petty? Probably." - The popular fan theory that the world of The Order of the Stick was an actual campaign was Jossed in strip # 606. Shojo: No, the wisdom is simply this: Play the game. - A Double Subversion of Jossing occurred with the theory that Elan's father is Lord Tyrinar, the warlord who had Haley's father imprisoned. The first strips where Tarquin appeared had him as a general who'd lost his empire long before; but it was eventually revealed that he was the man behind the throne of an empire that had gone through several figurehead rulers and names – including Tyrinaria – and Ian Starshine was one of the prisoners Roy befriended in the Empire's prisons. Tyrinar turned out to be just one of the figureheads, and dead in the present time of the comic. - El Goonish Shive author, Dan Shive, has done this too many times to count. - The author of Keychain of Creation has a neat way about handling this. He insists, constantly, that every single epileptic tree is completely true, as sincerely as possible -- no matter what context: IM, forum, in actual discussion... He insists they are always correct, so that in the end, everyone, including him, is proven wrong. - Following Black Belt's death in Eight Bit Theater, many fans clamored for his return and pointed out that this could be accomplished by de-petrifying his stone doppleganger. Clevinger responded by having White Mage attempt exactly that, and botch it horribly. The page where this happens is even titled, "Now Shut Up". - The Metal Gear Solid webcomic The Last Days of Foxhound has been so thoroughly and consistently Jossed -- after each new game release since the series began -- about so many things, from the manner in which one character lost an eye to his very state of existence -- necessitating massive, unconvincing retcons that even the characters find sketchy -- that you could make a convincing argument for changing the name of this trope to "Kojima'd!" (The apostrophe and exclamation mark are mandatory.) Not that this is Complaining About Shows You Don't Like, however. The author is aware of this phenomena, and generally does a good job of covering it up. In one of his last blog posts, he says "if I'm lucky, I can be done before MGS4 is released and my entire backstory is contradicted. Again." He was, and it was. Again. What's even more ironic is that the comic ended just under two weeks before MGS4's release. - Despite attempts to reasonably, albeit comically, tie into the storyline of Half-Life, the comic Concerned was pre-Jossed when their depiction of the delivery of the Xen Borderworld sample was already undone by Half-Life: Decay. - Randy Milholland seems to love to do this to his fans in Something Positive. In fact, it could be said the only thing more enjoyable to him than not giving the fans what they want is giving them what they explicitly don't. "Dont Give Him Any Ideas" is uttered regularly on feed commentaries. - An example: Pepito was originally going to live through the "insane catgirl massacre" storyline. Then somebody sent Milholland a letter saying he wasn't "allowed" to kill any of the characters. "Not even Pepito." - While Andrew Hussie of MS Paint Adventures is usually very permissive of off-the-wall speculation, he sometimes feels the need to correct egregiously wrong interpretations. For instance, he has made it very clear that, in Homestuck, Jade's Grampa was Dead All Along, Kanaya is a lesbian, and, most of all, WV IS NOT AN IMP. - When the Alpha Kids were first introduced there was a lot of speculation about what then unnamed Dirk and Roxy's personalities would be. The most common theory for Roxy was that she would be a scenester-esque Bottle Fairy. Even more popularly, Dirk was theorised to be a loser anime fanboy with the Fan Nickname "Weeabro". Roxy's character turned out to be pretty close, though only on a superficial level as Roxy is also a passionate scientist and very kind friend. Dirk's did not, and Andrew expressed great distaste for the theory. - Homestuck's Jossed WMG pages are far bigger than the confirmed and active theory pages; so much so there are multiple pages because all of them on one page was breaking browsers. This is pretty much because Hussie encourages a lot of speculation. - Here's an actual example of Joss jossing something: less than a week after fans announced the Doctor Horribles Sing Along Blog prequel "Horrible Turn", Joss announced a prequel comic book that appears to be covering the same topics (meeting Captain Hammer, turning evil, etc.). - For a while, it was thought that the anthropomorphic animals in Darwin's Soldiers were originally humans turned into animals via advanced technology. Word of God states that the anthropomorphic animals were merely "there" alongside humans. - Common fan theories insinuate that Bonkers was created as a substitute for a Roger Rabbit cartoon that was never made due to legal and copyright issues surrounding Roger. Greg Weisman, who helped develop Bonkers and other other notable Disney shows, says that Bonkers was certainly INSPIRED by Roger, but Disney never had any plans to make a Roger Rabbit cartoon at any point. - Avatar: The Last Airbender: - Dungeons & Dragons: All widely accepted Epileptic Trees jossed with the release of the script of the unaired finale. The kids did not die in a rollercoaster crash, they are not in Hell, and Dungeon Master is not Satan. - During the first two seasons the Transformers Animated fandom came up with a number of theories as to the isolated, motherless Sari's actual identity, the most popular being some variation of Sari actually being a robot or cyborg created by Professor Sumdac, possibly made by reverse-engineering Megatron. During the second season finale Sari injured her elbow, revealing circuitry underneath her skin, which seemed to support this idea. However, while the theory was right about Sari's true nature, it wasn't entirely correct about her origins. Sari wasn't constructed by Sumdac or made from Megatron's parts, she was a technorganic protoform created by the Allspark using Sumdac's DNA. - Also that Ironhide was The Mole, which came up in the first case becauseof a screwup involving faction symbols. - Literally hundreds of Teen Titans fanfics about Terra's resurrection were written in the interim between the end of season two and the series finale "Things Change". When it was revealed that Terra is alive as a schoolgirl who may or may not remember everything that happened to her in season two, and just wants to live as a normal girl, 99.9% of these fanfics were Jossed. Fans were left with two choices for future Terra resurrection Fanfic: write according to the new, official continuity, or ignore the last episode entirely and write Fix Fic about how Terra should have been resurrected. - A lot of fanfiction for The Secret Saturdays has now been Jossed because we now know the reason behind Zak's cryptid powers he has cryptid powers because he's Kur. Also, most fanfictions related to the actual plot of the show have been Jossed because of the end of the latest episode when we find out that Zak is Kur, which resolved the story arc with a surprise ending. - Due to having so much Word of God around, this has happened many times in regard to Gargoyles on issues such as gargoyle customs and breeding habits, Elisa and Goliath's ability to reproduce, Lexington's sexuality, Katana's physical appearance, etc. Looking at older fanfics can sometimes be a very strange experience... - After seeing Captain Marvel appear in Justice League Unlimited, supporting Lex Luthor's presidential campaign and then giving a bone chilling speech to his fellow leaguers, many fans of the show believed he would return as an unwitting tool of Luthor. This was jossed by...well, him not coming back. - Due to the creators of Phineas and Ferb refusal to discuss it, there are many theories regarding the whereabouts of the original parents of the characters, including the popular one that Doofenshmirtz is Phineas' father. In the episode "What Do it Do?" it was shown that Doof did go on one date with Linda Flynn, but they never went out again (although she supposedly was what convinced him to conquer the Tri-State Area). In a New York Times P&F panel, Dan and Jeff addressed one of those points, finally stating that, no, Doof is not Phineas' father. - For a couple of weeks, it was fanon among My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic fans that Scootaloo was the sister of Rainbow Dash. It made a bit of sense: Scoot is part of a Power Trio, and the two other members are younger sisters of members of the main cast. Since Scootaloo is a pegasus, and it had already been established that she was not Fluttershy's sister, that left Dash as the only other potential sister (not to mention that the two have similar personalities and even looks). Creator Lauren Faust, though, insisted on her blog that Dash and Scootaloo are not related at all, though she hinted that they will form a friendship in the near future and it quickly became clear in subsequent episodes that Scootaloo idolizes Rainbow Dash. - It has also been confirmed that Pinkie Pie was not meant to be a Fourth Wall Observer, and that all the times she looked into the camera were animation mistakes where she was actually looking at someone else. The ability to break the fourth wall was never discussed by the writers, at least during meetings. However, this does not account for the times she directly communicated her excitement to the audience at the end of the second episode or physically interacting with the Iris Out (seen here) at the end of "Over a Barrel." (Also, subsequent instances of apparent Breaking the Fourth Wall may indicate that the ongoing popularity within the fandom of interpreting Pinkie Pie as being aware of the fourth wall may well have led to the production team choosing to adopt this stance themselves.) - Princess Luna's return and subsequent official characterization has invalidated a great deal of fan interpretation. Most fan writers and artists nailed her social awkwardness, but few guessed she'd be just as hammy as Nightmare Moon. - She also demonstrates a bit of a prankster streak, something usually attributed to Celestia (or Trollestia) in fics involving the two - often with Luna as the Butt Monkey. Of course, we still haven't seen the two directly talk to each other (minus their brief reconciliation at the beginning of Season 1 and a handful of one-sided exchanges in "A Canterlot Wedding"), so fan theories on how they'd interact in day-to-day situations currently remain safe. - The first week of November, 2011 had significant amounts of Fanon Jossed. First, a new blind bag wave was released which contains mostly background ponies from the show. None of the five whose toy names had become well-known had their Fan Nicknames, which caused heated debates about which names to call them by - the old and established Fan Nicknames or the brand-new toy names whose likes have been rendered obsolete by Canon in two other blind bag ponies' cases. The good news for them is that the newest wave of blind bags states those official names as second names, making some fan interpretations canon. For example, fan name "Lyra" + old official name "Heartstrings" = new official name "Lyra Heartstrings." - Also, Lauren Faust revealed more of the actual backstory of Nightmare Moon and how she was banished here. Much of it invalidates the common fanon interpretation of Luna as basically the victim of Celestia in the whole affair. Different from many other forms of Jossing in that Faust points out that since it was never stated in the show, it isn't really canon - thus, it is perfectly possible for the current crew to contradict it. - Fanon usually presents Luna and Celestia as the only "alicorns" in Equestria. "A Canterlot Wedding" revolves around Twilight's older brother getting married to Celestia's niece, an alicorn. She was apparently not originally designed as such when Lauren Faust worked on the story. - The popular background pony DJ Pon-3's eyes have been almost universally depicted as red in fanon, but a tiny split-second shot in "A Canterlot Wedding" showed them as being magenta. Fans of her red eyes look quickly scrambled to offer justifications such as; the light making them look different (the split-second in question in which her eyes are revealed took place in shadow), to wearing contacts, to having magical eyes that can change color depending on which one she thinks looks coolest on the given day (to be fair, she is a magical unicorn). - Fans swore Family Guy Presents Laugh It Up Fuzzball used Rotoscoping for certain scenes from the Star Wars movies, but the people who made it insisted they just were really precise about recreating the scenes. - Word of God says that Henry and June are only like brother and sister and neither have feelings for each other in any direction, which breaks the fanon that's been going on since the show premiered. - Real Life does this to you all the time. - The Trio found his room with Gryffindor banners and female Muggle pin-ups, and Sirius probably wouldn't have hid the fact that he liked men. Heck, he probably would've hid the girly pics and posted nothing but the men, just to screw with his conservative (by Wizarding standards) family.

Have you seen that great Demotivator poster? The one that shows a group of hands and reads: “Meetings. None of Us is as Dumb as All of Us.” It comes to mind when thinking about Seattle process. Critics of our tendency to think and talk everything to death while looking for consensus frequently cited it as a source of civic frustration and gridlock. Yet the hazards of circumventing the process are real. Politicians are frequently punished for being decisive. Greg Nickels was accused of bringing a “Chicago style” to city politics by exercising his mayoral muscle. Mike McGinn was seen as “divisive” when he expressed strong opinions that strayed from the mainstream, as on the tunnel. Both men lost re-election bids. We say we want deciders, but do we? One advantage of Seattle process for civic leaders is safety in numbers. Getting consensus or going through the elaborate Kubuki theater of “inclusion” and seeing “buy-in from all the stakeholders” spreads political risk. If “all of us” make a dumb decision, “none of us” can be punished for it. The buck doesn’t stop with anyone because no one individual has more than a few pennies in the game. When a bold decision is made, we often tend to be surprised and even a little aghast. For example, the Seattle School Board pushed through the appointment of interim Schools Superintendent Larry Nyland to be the permanent boss. Of course, permanence is relative in the Schools supe job. But with the resignation of Jose Banda, the board decided in hurry-up fashion to hire a temp for the job. No big national search, no parading of candidates among all the education constituencies. Just a decision that Nyland was good enough, so let’s move on. Such moves are risky. The school board is now on the hook for the choice, which was not a unanimous decision. There’s no question here about who’s accountable. I have no idea whether it is a good hire or not. School leadership choices here tend to be underwhelming, at best. But the quick decision is startling. Some might find encouragement in it. A board taking swift action. Others are left wondering. Not only do such decisions carry risk — will the new guy work out? — they undercut some of the other advantages of Seattle process. One is trust in the process itself. The argument being that a trusted process is more important than the actual decision it renders. A new Schools Superintendent will last a couple of years, parental distrust can persist for years, even generations. One PTA representative, David Robison, told KUOW: “I actually teach management at UW Bothell, and one of the things that I warn against is analysis paralysis, but there needs to be some process. It doesn’t need to be endless, but there does need to be some informative process.” He had misgivings about the way the board made its choice. Another risk of hasty decision-making is that Seattle process comes with safety valves to keep us from making terrible decisions — a way to derail bad ideas (Green Line monorail). Unfortunately, that cuts both ways because process can also derail good ones (the South Lake Union Commons). Our process often includes multiple public votes on projects so we can do or undo them. Those with a strong inner Robert Moses — New York’s city-building powerbroker — are often frustrated by the process-oriented approach. Another poster child for process gone wrong is the waterfront tunnel project, which seemed to combine the worst of top-down decision-making and bottom-up inclusion and no real public votes to approve or disapprove the final plan. More than just a stuck tunnel machine named Bertha, it’s bucking to be the poster-child for the whole Demotivator meme. Those frustrated with Seattle process tend to yearn for a pre-process golden era, the days when a few good men decided the fate of Seattle over breakfasts at the Olympic Hotel or drinks at the Washington Athletic or Rainier clubs. That was how we got the world’s fair. But even back then, such initiatives were rare. And times changed. Eddie Carlson, the hotel exec who ran that show, recognized as early as the 1980s that it was no longer possible to do things that way. The public, he said, had become too inquisitive. Robert Moses, for his part, complained at the public's lack of gratitude. Accountability, transparency, open meetings, public records, endless whiteboards and Post-It note confabs with stakeholders: they reduce distrust a bit, and satisfy our curiosity even if they do not guarantee good results. And they still cause us — encourage us — to question our final decisions. In the case of our schools, Seattle has had mixed success. Picking both insider candidates and hires made through public searches has brought us six superintendents in the last 10 years, with some notable failures. Some decisions are just hard to get right no matter how you go about making them.
LDS Indoctrination and Retentive Socialization In A Message To The Most Ardent Critic Of The Mormon Church, Ben Arkell quotes a nameless member of the church who had recently dropped off their daughter and son at the Missionary Training Center (MTC) of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (emphasis added): “I wish I could go to those who have walked away from the Church, and those who are its ardent critics, and say, “Come with me to the MTC on a Wednesday morning and let’s just watch. Let’s stand together and watch these families say goodbye to their sons and daughters.” “You mean to tell me you think these people are brainwashed? These individuals and families who in all other walks of life, in their education, in their careers, and in their communities are successful, smart, and industrious – you mean to tell me in this one area they are so ignorant and brainwashed that they would send away their sons and daughters?” “Never. They would never do it.’ This document attempts to broadly address—from a scholarly perspective—the question of why many parents may be willing to send their children off as LDS missionaries for two years. Neither parents or their children are “brainwashed”—most psychologists today would reject such a term to describe behavior like this. Rather, psychologists are likely to view and analyze such actions in terms of socialization via social learning theory. Social learning suggests that not only is behavior modified based on direct instruction but also through the observation of rewards and punishments (vicarious reinforcement). Virtually all psychologists recognized the power of socialization in shaping human behavior—socialization encourages some kinds of behavior and discourages other behavior. The well-respected psychologist of religion, Benjamin Beit-Hallahmi, explained: Social learning, despite its seeming simplicity…remains the best explanation for most religious actions. It is the best explanation for the overall prevalence of religion, for individual religiosity, and for … the most dramatic of religious acts and movements. … The variety of religious traditions and the correspondence between the dominant tradition in the social environment and the religious beliefs of the individual are the most obvious proofs to the validity of the social learning approach, which is also able to explain what are considered intense religious experiences…. More specifically, then, this document attempts to tackle the question: What LDS programs or cultural phenomena might be contributing most to high levels of devotion and sacrifice observed in LDS members? What about the truth-claims? Whether or not the LDS Church is “true” (i.e., whether its truth-claims are veridical) is sidestepped in this document. In addition, the manner in which the LDS socialization program reflects on LDS truth claims is unclear. For instance, a believing member may argue that an effective socialization program is an indicator of the truth of the LDS Church: we might expect God to implement an effective socialization program to spread truth and encourage orthodoxy in the face of evil or ignorant forces intent on undermining it. On the other hand, a critic might argue that such an intense socializing program is an indicator of the weakness of the LDS faith: why such a program if the truth-claims could stand on their own merit? One may argue—from the same data—that the LDS Church fosters devotion in part because of the accuracy, power, and beauty of its truth-claims, or it may be foster devotion in spite of its truth-claims were we to suppose that the claims were false. A more productive question is whether the level of belief and devotion fostered in LDS members could be the product of an effective socializing culture and program regardless of the veridicalness of LDS truth-claims. We see, for instance, high levels of belief and devotion in groups like the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (FLDS) or in the Jehovah’s Witnesses, and presumably at most only one of these groups has fully accurate truth-claims. The existence of high levels of devotion in groups with contradicting truth-claims itself suggests that socialization may account for some significant level of belief and devotion within the groups. Nonetheless, it must be acknowledged that one cannot fully tease apart devotion behavior from truth-claim correctness, and this document makes no attempt to do so. Fourteen socializing influences Below are listed what I view as the main sources of socializing influence which may drive members towards activity and discourage them from activities which might diminish their belief and participation in the LDS Church. I acknowledge that many counter-examples within Church approved resources exist which moderate some of the more extreme material and examples discussed below, even though I have not included them for the sake of brevity. In addition, the level of emphasis on retentive doctrine and practices that any given member of the LDS Church experiences will vary significantly from family-to-family, location-to-location, and in which era of time a person experienced a particular LDS program. Still, I have attempted to focus on examples which will likely resonate with most active members’ experiences and constitute the threads which most strongly encourage devotion and retention. 1. Program involves extensive time learning doctrine LDS members spend a considerable amount of time in meetings teaching one another and learning LDS doctrine: - Members attend a minimum of 3 hours of Church each Sunday (not counting other meetings like monthly or quarterly “firesides” [a meeting held in the evening]) where they teach one another LDS doctrine. - Members are taught to pray morning and night individually, with their family, and with their spouses, pray over every meal, and study their scriptures daily. - Boys and girls begin bi-monthly activities with their respective gender at age 8. Some of the lessons directly or indirectly support LDS doctrine. - Youth from the age of 12 to 18 attend a weekly activity. Many activities directly involve learning or acting out LDS teachings. - All high-school youth attend roughly one hour of study in the doctrines and beliefs of the Church nearly every single day of high school. - All males are expected to serve a 2 year full-time mission and many females serve a 1.5 year mission. During this time, missionaries engage in daily individual and companion study of LDS material (at least 1 hour total daily) and they will spend most of their day discussing LDS doctrine within their companionship and with investigators. The socializing influence of missionary work on LDS members is considered significant enough that it merits its own point (see point #4). - Members are to listen to 10 hours of instruction from Church leadership each half year and carefully review those teachings between conferences. 2. Members strongly encouraged to gain a testimony Gaining a testimony of LDS doctrine is considered an essential part of being a Latter-day Saint. The commonly prescribed method is to read and pray about the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon (see Moroni 10:4–5). The practice may be viewed as open-ended and respectful of the agency of the truth-seeker, but it may also be viewed as a process with only one inevitable outcome (see here and here for additional discussion). Other recommended methods appear to border on self-conditioning. For instance, members have been encouraged to record their testimony, share it with friends, and listen to it regularly. Neil L. Andersen taught: Consider recording the testimony of Joseph Smith in your own voice, listening to it regularly, and sharing it with friends. Listening to the Prophet’s testimony in your own voice will help bring the witness you seek. Members are instructed that testifying that they know the Church is true is one way to discover their testimony. Boyd K. Packer taught: It is not unusual to have a missionary say, “How can I bear testimony until I get one? How can I testify that God lives, that Jesus is the Christ, and that the gospel is true? If I do not have such a testimony, would that not be dishonest?” Oh, if I could teach you this one principle. A testimony is to be found in the bearing of it!1 And Dallin H. Oaks taught (April 2008 Conference): Another way to seek a testimony seems astonishing when compared with the methods of obtaining other knowledge. We gain or strengthen a testimony by bearing it. Someone even suggested that some testimonies are better gained on the feet bearing them than on the knees praying for them. 3. Promise to sacrifice anything to the cause Every LDS person marrying in the temple or serving a mission must receive their endowment, and all adults are encouraged to receive their endowment. In this ceremony a member will promise to: observe and keep the Law of Sacrifice, as contained in the Old and New Testament [as Jesus Christ has laid down his life for the redemption of mankind, so we should covenant to sacrifice all that we possess, even our own lives if necessary, in sustaining and defending the Kingdom of God] In the temple, a member will be asked to: consecrate yourselves, your time, talents, and everything with which the Lord has blessed you, or with which he may bless you, to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, for the building up of the Kingdom of God on the earth and for the establishment of Zion Thinker of Thoughts discusses how members covenant and are reminded of their covenants in the LDS Church. In this milieu, then, it is reasonable that members are sometimes taught to “never turn down a calling” (example 1, example 2). And given such promises, a member may be discouraged from participating in any activity that would disrupt Church duties. For example, one individual recounted: I planned for years on going for a solo backpacking & hitchhiking adventure around the country. Finally one summer, the conditions were right, I had nothing else I needed to do, and I realized it was then or never. It was time to accomplish a dream. When my bishop at the time found out, he sat me down for the most intense church interview I’d had up to that point in my life. His core question was how I intended to fulfill my home teaching and other priesthood duties if I went on my adventure. 4. Missions are highly controlled, socializing environments All able males are expected to serve a two year LDS mission, and they typically serve at the age of 18 or 19. Females are encouraged to consider service and many females leave at 19 years of age to serve a 1.5 year mission. The mission is a time of complete focus on learning and teaching LDS doctrine and provides a strong socializing experience. The missionary environment, from reading material to schedule, is very tightly controlled. All communication to the missionary flows through Church controlled resources, and families must use LDS controlled email to write to their missionary. 2017 Mobile Device Standards for LDS missionaries outline the following expectations: Always sit or stand so that you and your companion can see each other’s screen when using devices. Be aware of your companion’s contacts, messages, and communication. Also make sure that your companion reviews anything you plan to email, post, comment, or message except for letters to your mission president and emails home. … With your companion, create a culture of helping each other be safe by regularly and thoroughly reviewing each other’s devices. In reviewing your companion’s device, look at his or her app histories, recent contacts, photos, notes, usage information, and so on. Do not reset your device or erase your online history. As directed by your mission president, missionary leaders may also conduct device reviews. … Anecdotes suggest that faith-disturbing content may be filtered before delivery to the missionary, and missionaries may only write home once per week.2 Leaving a mission early Leaving a mission can be extremely difficult. Mission Presidents may use an extraordinary number of tactics and gates to prevent homesick or discouraged missionaries from returning home. This includes requiring the missionary or their family to pay for their own flight home (regardless of whether the missionary or family pre-paid for their mission). Mission Presidents also tend to hold missionaries’ passports so the missionary may not leave without their permission.3 Missionaries must also sign a document stating their intention to serve, which may be used against them if they decide to return home (i.e., “you signed up for this.”) Returning home early without sufficient justification (e.g., medical release) is considered dishonorable, and the importance of serving an honorable mission is frequently and strongly emphasized. A young man or woman who was not honorably released from their mission may be viewed with suspicion in the LDS community (for example) and considered less-desirable marriage potential (related to the next point, #5). 5. Members are expected to date and marry other members Ezra Taft Benson taught: Our Heavenly Father wants you to date young men who are faithful members of the Church, who will be worthy to take you to the temple and be married the Lord’s way. There will be a new spirit in Zion when the young women will say to their boyfriends, “If you cannot get a temple recommend, then I am not about to tie my life to you, even for mortality!” And the young returned missionary will say to his girlfriend, “I am sorry, but as much as I love you, I will not marry out of the holy temple.” Following the Church program is seen as far more important than love, friendship, or spiritual compatibility, and young women are consistently taught that they should marry a returned missionary: Back when I was in the Young Women program, I remember being told that RM [return missionary] needed to be at the top of my dating criteria list. The very thought of dating a non-return missionary (non-RM) is considered jaw-dropping. A person dishonorably released from service would likely be given even lower status than someone who never served a mission at all. 6. LDS doctrine and practice often trumps all - All spiritual feelings that contradict the accepted revelations or authorities is not considered revelation from God, by definition: When … inspiration conveys something out of harmony with the accepted revelations of the Church or contrary to the decisions of its constituted authorities, Latter-day Saints may know that it is not of God, no matter how plausible it may appear. - In general, logic is carefully arranged to support belief. - BYU’s Academic Freedom Policy explains how human reason is subordinate to divine revelation: “Religion offers venerable alternative theories of knowledge by presupposing that truth is eternal, that it is only partly knowable through reason alone, and that human reason must be tested against divine revelation.” Hence, when ways of knowing clash, LDS authorities always win. - Short engagement/dating times relative to the rest of society suggests that religious affiliation often trumps other considerations of personality and personality compatibility. - A good reason not to marry someone is because they didn’t immediately remove extra earrings when the Prophet said to only have one pair. - Some leaders create contracts to ensure continued activity. 7. Most major life events are tied into the Church Given that religions offer a scaffold of meaning, it makes sense that they would be involved in most major life events. However, in the LDS Church the manner in which these events are gated by declarations of worthiness and belief means that orthodoxy in belief and practice is frequently re-emphasized among those administering and those receiving each ordinance or advancement. - Newborn babies are typically blessed in front of the congregation by their father. - Children are baptized members at age eight (again, typically by the father) at what is considered the “age of accountability”. - Young men receive the priesthood (typically conferred by the father) at age 12, advance in Priesthood rank at 14, again at 16 and typically receive the higher Priesthood at age 18. - Fathers typically give a school blessing before the start of each school year and when their children are sick. The father must be considered worthy by the Bishop to perform these ordinances, and there is some communal shame imparted or at least implied if they are unable to perform these ordinances due to unworthiness. Additional life events tied closely into the LDS program include missions, marriage, and funerals. - LDS missions are considered a “coming of age” experience (see answer by D. Michael Quinn). Marriage in an LDS temple is given strong emphasis in the Church since it is viewed as the only way for the marriage to endure in the eternities. All other marriage ceremonies are viewed as counterfeit, at least to some degree. Funerals are considered a time to teach the Gospel and reinforce the LDS conception of life’s purpose. Church Handbook 2 instructs: Funerals provide an important opportunity to teach the gospel and testify of the plan of salvation. They also provide an opportunity to pay tribute to the deceased. However, such tributes should not dominate a funeral service. And Boyd K. Packer taught: When the family insists that several family members speak in a funeral, we hear about the deceased instead of about the Atonement, the Resurrection, and the comforting promises revealed in the scriptures. Now it’s all right to have a family member speak at a funeral, but if they do, their remarks should be in keeping with the spirit of the meeting. I have told my Brethren in that day when my funeral is held, if any of them who speak talk about me, I will raise up and correct them. The gospel is to be preached. 8. Attributing causation Doctrine and Covenants 59:21 states: And in nothing doth man offend God, or against none is his wrath kindled, save those who confess not his hand in all things… Latter-day Saint are encouraged to continually look for God’s hand influencing their life in significant and insignificant ways. Hence, causation of many events are attributed to God or seen as influenced by their own level of righteousness or devotion (particularly in the payment of tithing). - Leaders regularly attribute supernatural influence to events others would likely view as natural. - Members regularly attribute what others would view as natural phenomena to the efficacy of prayer (example). - Members tend to consider all positive economic windfall as evidence of the effectiveness of paying tithes. Such a mindset and process provides a continual buttressing of confidence in the LDS worldview. 9. Follow the leadership Members are taught that their eternal safety lies in always following their LDS leadership and that their leadership represents God to them. D&C 1:38 emphasizes this equivalency: What I the Lord have spoken, I have spoken, and I excuse not myself; and though the heavens and the earth pass away, my word shall not pass away, but shall all be fulfilled, whether by mine own voice or by the voice of my servants, it is the same. And D&C 21:4–5: 4 Wherefore, meaning the church, thou shalt give heed unto all his words and commandments which he shall give unto you as he receiveth them, walking in all holiness before me; 5 For his word ye shall receive, as if from mine own mouth, in all patience and faith. Following the prophet is repeatedly and emphatically taught to young children and teenagers in the LDS Church. Toddlers and very young children often sing the song Follow the Prophet. Youth are encouraged to follow leaders, even if they were wrong on something: My boy, you always keep your eye on the President of the Church, and if he ever tells you to do anything, and it is wrong, and you do it, the Lord will bless you for it. At times, following the prophet may be unpopular, but following the prophet is always right. 10. The perilousness of unapproved ideas or information - Members are warned against seeking information from unapproved sources: As seekers of truth, our safety lies in asking the right questions, in faith, and of the right sources—meaning those who only speak truth: such as the scriptures, prophets, and the Lord through the Holy Ghost.” (Sheri Dew, Will You Engage in the Wrestle) - The 7th temple recommend question strongly implies that agreement with those who have contrary teachings is frowned upon. Potential loss of a temple recommend is a deterrent to critical investigation: Do you support, affiliate with, or agree with any group or individual whose teachings or practices are contrary to or oppose those accepted by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints? - Members have been instructed to not attend symposia that include presentations that …could…detract from [the Church’s] mission (General Handbook of Instruction 1999): The Church warns its members against symposia and other similar gatherings that include presentations that (1) disparage, ridicule, make light of, or are otherwise inappropriate in their treatment of sacred matters or (2) could injure the Church, detract from its mission, or jeopardize its members’ well-being. Members should not allow their position or standing in the Church to be used to promote or imply endorsement of such gatherings. - Members are to “disconnect” from proselyting of those who have lost their faith: We should disconnect, immediately and completely, from listening to the proselytizing efforts of those who have lost their faith and instead reconnect promptly with the Holy Spirit. (April 2016 BYU Commencement Address, L. Whitney Clayton, Getting and Staying Connected) - Faith-killers should be shunned: Avoid those who would teardown your faith. Faith-killers are to be shunned. The seeds which they plant in the minds and hearts of men grow like cancer and eat away the Spirit. (Oct 1981 GC, Carlos E. Asay, Opposition to the Work of God) The example Asay gives of a “faith-killer” is a person who pointed out contradictions in the historical record to a new convert. LDS members are generally reluctant to consult sources known to be critical of the LDS Church (examples 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) or sometimes resources discussing LDS-related topics which are simply unapproved by the LDS Church (for example). Avoiding potentially faith-damaging information may even extend to reluctance to read official lds.org essays meant to faithfully address criticism of the LDS Church (examples 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7). Expression of ideas countering orthodoxy may be suppressed - Expression of thoughts that run counter to teachings may be silenced in open microphone meetings (example). - Members who publicly express reasoned opposition to specific activities of the Church may be asked to remove the video or face loss of their temple recommend (recommends confer upon the holder a number of benefits and publicly signal the faithfulness of the member to others at family events such as temple weddings) or face Church disciplinary action. For example, this mother of five was threatened with the loss of her temple recommend and her Church calling if she did not remove this video calmly expressing disagreement with the Church’s disapproval of same sex marriage. - Videos which are critical of the Church have been subject to concerted copyright take-down attacks. - Sites with information critical of the LDS Church (e.g., mormonthink.com) are blocked on wifi in LDS buildings. In his talk to CES teachers Boyd K. Packer instructed There is a temptation for the writer or the teacher of Church history to want to tell everything, whether it is worthy or faith promoting or not. Some things that are true are not very useful…In an effort to be objective, impartial, and scholarly, a writer or a teacher may unwittingly be giving equal time to the adversary…The idea that we must be neutral and argue quite as much in favor of the adversary as we do in favor of righteousness is neither reasonable nor safe…It is neither expected nor necessary for us to accommodate those who seek to retrieve references from our sources, distort them, and use them against us.” 11. Compartmentalization of information The compartmentalization of information may hinder a lay member’s ability to fairly criticize some doctrine and practices, administrative actions, or policies. - Aspects of the temple are obfuscated or kept secret from the uninitiated. Consider Elder Holland’s reluctance to discuss Mitt Romney’s temple oath and compare how believing members answer the question “What are the covenants that are made in a Mormon temple?” (e.g., here, here, and here) with the direct answer of a former member, here. A typical temple initiate will only be vaguely aware of the extensive promises they will be asked to make in the temple—specific covenant verbiage is only revealed after the opportunity to withdraw has been offered and refused by the initiate. - Handbook 1—the book that defines which activities and beliefs are considered apostate and what kind of discipline should be dispensed for various infractions—is not available to the lay member. - Finances have not been disclosed to the membership since 1959. 12. Monitoring for orthodoxy Worthiness interviews are regularly conducted. Those considered unworthy on some level may not be allowed to participate in ordinances, and this may carry some social stigma. Others may notice if a person does not pass or take the sacrament, for instance. Interviews occur at expected intervals and can lead to intense pressure to conform to the LDS program. Consider, for instance, the pressure to conform felt by Kip Eliason and Steven as related by NewNameNoah [warning: last half contains explicit temple references]. A typical adult worthiness interview where the interviewee responds with all the “correct” answers may be found in this hidden-camera footage [warning: this video is likely to be offensive to many LDS members]. Leaders were recently instructed that worthiness interviews for prospective missionaries “need to be specific and explicit”. Although questions are prescribed and must be asked word-for-word, ecclesiastical leaders are given some latitude in how to conduct the interview, particularly when the answer runs counter to the approved answer.5 Other kinds of monitoring Besides worthiness interviews themselves, some other kinds of monitoring for orthodoxy may occur: - Files may be kept on students at BYU cataloging activities that may not be in line with LDS thought. - The Strengthening Church Members Committee appears to monitor for threats to orthodoxy. - Leaders may be screened for agreement with the status quo in the leadership selection process (above and beyond worthiness interviews). For instance, the recently leaked Utah Area Seventies Correlation Meeting states “Stake presidents may want to review this policy [the November 2015 policy excluding children of same-sex married couples] with prospective bishops to determine their willingness to support this policy before extending a call.” - Leaders may scan social media looking to see if members are properly wearing garments (anecdote here). Not likely typical, but nor is such behavior discouraged. 13. Significant in-group / out-group emphasis - Employment with the Church or a Church owned school, visiting the temple, witnessing marriage/sealing ceremonies, all leadership callings, and other temple service is conditioned on worthiness interviews. - The Word of Wisdom prohibits the use of drinks that are integral to sociality in most cultures. FairMormon writes (2017−08−28): Adherence to the Word of Wisdom is often a mark of a committed Latter-day Saint and is an outward sign of their separation from the world and their participation in the fellowship of God’s covenant people. Non-observance or observance of the Word of Wisdom often reflects one’s commitment (or lack thereof) to their covenants with God as well as a possible indicator as to how one might approach other commandments. - Beards are not allowed for Church employees, at Church owned universities, and for those working in the temple. Until recently, even those students/employees at BYU of another religious faith who wished to wear a beard for religious reasons were not allowed to do so. - Members are discouraged from getting a tattoo. - Members use insider and loaded language. Consider the terms: “Court of Love” (disciplinary councils where members may be excommunicated from the Church); “active/less-active”; “apostate” (one who has left the religion for intellectual reasons). In particular, the doctrine of “eternal families” strongly encourages an in-group/out-group mentality: - If a family member chooses another religion they may not be with their family in the eternities. - If a member marries a person of another faith tradition and that person never becomes Mormon, the relationships will be viewed as terminating at death (unlike marriages of members in the LDS temple which are considered the only ones which can persist). Other examples of the pressure that some feel may be found in the video Families, Eternity, & Collateral Damage (LDS examples begin at 2:53). 14. No viable alternative after joining Leaders repeatedly emphasize that there is no viable alternative to life within the LDS Church: Elder Jeffery R. Holland taught: We board the Good Ship Zion and sail with her wherever she goes until she comes into that millennial port. We stay in the boat, through squalls and stills, through storms and sunburn, because that is the only way to the promised land. (Also captured in this meme) And Elder M Russell Ballard recently taught: If you choose to become inactive or to leave the restored Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, where will you go? What will you do? The decision to ‘walk no more’ with Church members and the Lord’s chosen leaders will have a long-term impact that cannot always be seen right now. Strongly discourages and stigmatizes dissent - Those who disagree with orthodox doctrine are considered either ignorant or proud. - When the prophet speaks, the debate is over: “Now, as he speaks to us … it is as if the Lord Jesus Christ himself were addressing us … Personal opinions vary. Eternal principles never do. When the prophet speaks … the debate is over.” (Aaronic Priesthood Manual 1) - Those who “sin against the Holy Ghost” may be wiped from existence as a Son of Perdition. This is typically downplayed, but the possibility may act to discourage those who have had the strongest spiritual confirmations from considering alternative models of LDS truth-claims. - As taught in recent manuals and official Church material, those who leave the LDS Church become servants of Satan, become darkened and will be burned, will feel guilt and bitterness, left because they transgressed, will experience darkness and unhappiness, become darkened in their minds, are deceived because of their pride, and are deceived by the false teachings of the world. - Members are taught to “shun” and “flee” from those who openly disagree with accepted Church doctrine (see The Shunning Key). Not only does this counsel help members to avoid ideas or data that might contradict the LDS worldview (listed earlier), it also serves to stigmatize dissenters. Tragic, disastrous consequences for not following they leave the Old Ship Zion—they fall away; they apostatize. Tragically, they often experience short-term and eventually long-term unintended consequences, not only for themselves but also for their families. As an example, a father-in-law recently wrote to his unbelieving son-in-law: If you remove your name from the church records while you are on this journey of discovery, your eternal family blessings are at risk. They can be restored, but if something happens before then. Just saying….. … be warned, sometimes if he is having a hard time getting through, he may send a tragedy your way, to help break down the wall that you may have unknowingly built … Following every part of the LDS program is seen as vitally important for safety. For instance, Julie Beck tells the story of how drinking coffee was the primary reason her family fell away from the LDS Church even though they were following the other prescribed activities of paying tithing and Sunday worship: My next story is about a woman I will call Mary. She was the daughter of faithful pioneer parents who had sacrificed much for the gospel. She had been married in the temple and was the mother of 10 children. She was a talented woman who taught her children how to pray, to work hard, and to love each other. She paid her tithing, and the family rode to church together on Sunday in their wagon. Though she knew it was contrary to the Word of Wisdom, she developed the habit of drinking coffee and kept a coffee pot on the back of her stove. She claimed that “the Lord will not keep me out of heaven for a little cup of coffee.” But, because of that little cup of coffee, she could not qualify for a temple recommend, and neither could those of her children who drank coffee with her. Though she lived to a good old age and did eventually qualify to reenter and serve in the temple, only one of her 10 children had a worthy temple marriage, and a great number of her posterity, which is now in its fifth generation, live outside of the blessings of the restored gospel she believed in and her forefathers sacrificed so much for. D&C 84:41 reminds all those with the Melchizedek Priesthood (which virtually all male members receive at the age of 18): But whoso breaketh this covenant after he hath received it, and altogether turneth therefrom, shall not have forgiveness of sins in this world nor in the world to come. And members are reminded that those who break the marriage covenant will experience “eternal misery” (Eternal Marriage Student Manual: Covenants and Ordinances). The Covenants and Ordinances chapter of the Eternal Marriage Student manual begins with this quote by Boyd K. Packer: Keep your covenants and you will be safe. Break them and you will not. A significant number of teachings, cultural factors, and practices align to encourage LDS members to stay members and, outside of the veridicalness of LDS truth-claims, might help to explain why a parent would send their teenager away from home to engage in full-time missionary work for more than a year. - Some personal communication with Benjamin Beit-Hallahmi influenced the general approach of this document. - Reddit user JohnH2 provided valuable critique’s of an early draft of this work which eventually prompted me to write this draft (he also provided useful critique of this draft). - Some examples were drawn from Luna Lindsay’s work (see Recovering Agency: Lifting the Veil of Mormon Mind Control) - Some examples and thoughts on approach were drawn from thoughtsonthingsandstuff by Jonathon Streeter. - Mormonism101 was helpful in considering ways to frame the psychological influence of the LDS Church. - Reddit user MaxSTX pointed out the 2017 mobile device standards. - Reddit user TracingWoodgrains provided some valuable suggestions. - Discussion and examples from /r/mormon and /r/exmormon were helpful in formulating this document. I did not give enough specific credit to all those who pointed out good/interesting socializing influences which this document benefited from. - Reddit user we-were-gods provided useful feedback and general encouragement to continue documenting my thinking on this and other LDS topics. The practice of bearing a testimony to find it may take advantage of the phenomenon of “insufficient justification”.

Officials for the once-debt-ridden Capital Improvement Board -- which this past year went to the legislature for a multimillion-dollar bailout -- insisted Monday that the CIB can afford to give the Pacers $33.5 million to stay in town."Once-debt-ridden?" Come again, Francesca. Does she actually believe the CIB has reduced its debt in recent years. Quite to the contrary, the CIB's debt grew 10% last year, or $105 million, to nearly $1.2 billion. That additional debt included $16.2 million in short-term debt the CIB took on in 2009, which included a $9 million loan the CIB's Ann Lathrop at the time said wasn't needed, but the CIB should take the first installment of a potential short-term $27 million from the state anyway because it would lose it if it didn't take it before the end of 2009. The CIB's debt burden grew even as its revenues declined despite the infusion of revenues from a higher hotel tax and more state tax revenue sharing. Its tax-related revenues actually fell last year by $4.6 million from $129 million to $123 million. Its operating revenues derived from fees, parking lots revenues, concessions and reimbursements for labor grew from $19.8 million to $21.3 million, or about 7%. Combining their operating and non-operating revenues, the CIB actually experienced a $4.6 million decline in revenues. But to do so, CIB officials said, the agency must not only continue to live with its already deep budget cuts, but also come up with a way to increase revenue. Were those budget cuts really deep as the CIB claims and as Jarosz reports? It depends on how you look at it. The CIB's total operating expenses did decrease by just under 10% in 2009, but some of those savings were achieved by deferring maintenance expenses and the biggest savings came from accelerating depreciation and amortization of the former RCA Dome that has since been demolished. The cuts in non-operating expenses of $25.8 million or 35% looks impressive at first blush. But on closer examination you discovery that over half , or $16.4 million, came about as a result of a one-time swap termination fee. Also, $1.2 million in Colts' game-day inducement payments ended in 2008, creating another big savings. The CIB also saved $21.5 million in 2009 by cutting grants to other agencies and the ending of amortization expenses related to the termination fee on the Colts old lease agreement. It's also important to note that the CIB's 2008 budget shot up nearly 20% in 2008 so spending in 2009 was still above the 2007 levels. And most of the savings the CIB claimed from salary reductions actually came from a big reduction in temporary staffing. I guess what I'm trying to say is that most of the savings the CIB has claimed to date have been paper savings and not real long-term savings. Unless their revenue picture improves significantly the remainder of this year, which is not likely to happen, it's going to have to continue borrowing more money from the state and deferring the payment of other debts as it has done in the past to balance its checkbook. With the additional $33.5 million debt being taken on by the CIB to subsidize billionaire Herb Simon over the next three years, you can bet there will be a need for yet another tax increase before this is all done and said. Jarosz' story claims the bailout approved last year helped the CIB avert a $47 million budget deficit. The CIB has a history of inflating its projected costs in order to get more money budgeted to it than it really needs so it can later brag that it came in under budget when the actual numbers come in below the earlier inflated numbers. I remain unconvinced that the CIB actually incurred an additional $20 million in operating expenses related to Lucas Oil Stadium after reviewing their statements. I also believe the Simons were inflating the $18 million it claimed it needed to operate and maintain Conseco Fieldhouse each year. It might turn out that the $33.5 million we are giving Herb Simon over the next three years actually covers 100% of those costs. It wouldn't surprise me. That's the sort of games the CIB has played with the public for years when discussing financial costs to the taxpayers. I should also point out that the CIB discontinued having its financial statements audited in 2009 by an outside accounting firm. Instead, it is relying on the State Board of Accounts to give its seal of approval to its financial numbers, which it did in 2009 since nobody over there really knows how to perform what equates to an actual audit of financial statements. The State Board of Accounts did note the failure of the CIB to have executed contracts for legal services and certain other service contracts totalling about $1 million before making payments on them during the period reviewed. And from the "I'm not surprised department," the incompetent editorial staff at the Star says the deal announced yesterday "should be taken by city residents as good news." Once again, the Star editors refuse to disclose their own conflict of interest when discussing the financial concerns of the Pacers and Conseco Fieldhouse. They tell us there is some bad news in yesterday's announcement. "The bad news, potentially, is that the Pacers can come back in three years asking for more," the editorial reads. No, they wouldn't do that now would they? "The bad news that is no longer news is that the CIB has had to make severe cuts in community programs not related to pro sports in order to accommodate the Pacers and Colts, and most of those losses are permanent," the editorial continues. Uh, news bulletin for the editors. The CIB was never established to fund community programs; its job is to manage our capital assets. Get that? "As the city turns its attention back to basic priorities, such as streets and libraries, it appears to have breathing room on an important if often aggravating front," the editors reassure us. Oh yeah, the job government was actually established to do and not to see how much we can subsidize billionaire sports team owers. Enjoy Field of Schemes take on this latest handout to a billionaire sports team owner with the headline, "Indy to pay Pacers $33m over three years for no damn reason": It's a couple of weeks late, but the Indiana Pacers have obtained their boodle: The city of Indianapolis has agreed to pay the Pacers $10 million a year for the next three years (plus $3.5 million for a new ribbon ad board, among other things) to play at Conseco Fieldhouse, the taxpayer-funded arena that the team plays at rent-free and keeps all revenues from. That's less than the full $15 million in annual operating costs — the Pacers' only arena-related expense — that the team owners said they wanted the city to cover, but not a whole heck of a lot less, especially considering that the Pacers' lease isn't actually up yet.Of course the Star didn't use the blogger's quote during his interview with one of their reporters, "pretty crappy payoff for $30 million in government subsidies." It didn't fit the Star's meme that this deal was welcome news to Indianapolis residents. In exchange, the city gets a commitment by the Pacers to stay in town ... for three years. After that, the team could break its lease and leave town with a smaller penalty, which would dwindle to zero by 2019, the year that their lease is actually set to expire. I don't think the Indianapolis Star used my quote, but what I told their reporter was something along the lines of "This is a pretty crappy payoff for $30 million in government subsidies."
Crazy Man Who Harassed Lubbock Drivers on Mother’s Day Weekend Also Harassed Kids at Amarillo Mall There used to be a time when a carpetbagger came to town that we'd stick together. Now, I guess, we're going to let this kind of nonsense exist. As written about by my RockShow co-host Chrissy, a man in Lubbock held up a sign over Mother's Day weekend that said "Thank your mom today that she's not gay. Happy Mothers Day." This bothered some people, but most just gave him the finger, while a few got proactive with their own signs. Hey, if this guy and his defenders get to holler "free speech," then so do the people who think he's full of beans. There's a bigger lesson at work here, and that is: careful who you speak up for. It seems to me that no one wanted to claim he had a "right to free speech" when he was harassing kids and their parents at an Amarillo mall a few years ago. So hey, everybody, meet Pastor Dave H. Grisham from Last Frontier Evangelism-Repent Alaska. He's a certified troll and a bit of a loon. He's also responsible for the meme that says, "I'd rather see two men holding guns than holiday hands - Just Sayin.'" He's also the guy that was kicked off the South Plains Fairgrounds during the Cinco De Mayo festivities. You may be interested to know that he shared a meme "blasting the Catholic Pope" for a painting. Yup, Catholics, this guy hates you, too. Had enough yet? How about this gem: If white people were as racist as they claim , they’d be protesting CRACKERbarrel restaurants and it would be off limits to call country bars , “HONKY Tonks” just sayin’ Or ladies, tell you how you feel about this: Ladies quit cursing. An ugly mouth ruins a pretty face. Just sayin' I'd give you a taste more, but all the racist, sexist, anti-vax, anti-immigration and homophobic stuff you want is freely available to you above. This guy came to Lubbock to cause trouble and was successful. How embarrassing. 10 Haunted Places in Lubbock The 10 Most Haunted Places in Lubbock 30 Actors Who Were Born in Texas
Welcome to Teaser Tuesday, the weekly Meme hosted by The Purple Booker. It’s super easy and anyone can join in the fun! 1: Grab your current read 2: Open to a random page 3: Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page This week I struggled to find a Teaser for this meme. So I begged help from my tribe of bookworms. My middle son picked the page number (64) and my little ones decided the color. One said yellow and the other pink an Voila! This is what we came up with: From GoodReads – “Twin sisters Bibike and Ariyike are enjoying a relatively comfortable life in Lagos in 1996. Then their mother loses her job due to political strife, and the family, facing poverty, becomes drawn into the New Church, an institution led by a charismatic pastor who is not shy about worshipping earthly wealth.” “Following their fate over the course of two decades in Nigeria, this debut novel tells the story of each sibling’s search for agency, love, and meaning in a society rife with hypocrisy but also endless life.” When you’re the youngest in the family, everyone tries to protect you. They lie to you, they cover for you. You learn to do your own investigating. You have to be both persistent and invisible. Sometimes it seemed like there was a duvet of silence over all the important stuff about our family. There was no one willing to lift it for me, to let me see for myself what it was all about.pg. 64 For those of you with siblings, how much do you think your birth order has affected your personality?
A quarter of Americans will tell you they haven’t read a book — singular — in the past year. The crisis of literary indifference leads to continuous think pieces, and sometimes even sequels to those pieces: Behold the New Yorker’s “Why We Don’t Read, Revisited.” The explanations for our cultural aversion are vast and complex, but from a public relations standpoint, it may be fair to say that reading often wants for a better public image. The American Library Association is aware of this, which is why since 1985 they’ve produced a series of celebrity “READ” posters. If you grew up in the 1980s and 1990s, you probably remember the iconic “READ” design from your own school library and classrooms. Along with a familiar style of motivational poster, it formed the wallpaper of educational spaces. Whether it inspired you to read would depend, of course, on your own proclivities and, most likely, how familiar you were with the celebrity pictured. (I can’t imagine myself swayed, as a fourth-grader, by Paul Newman in character as pool hustler “Fast” Eddie Felson.) For that reason, ALA is always getting new famous faces on board with the campaign, and in the mid-1990s, it struck gold with NBA superstar Shaquille O’Neal. Shaq’s poster stands out from the rest for any number of reasons. Unlike the others, it doesn’t provide much in the way of context clues or setting — where rugged Harrison Ford got to pose on some boulders and Alec Baldwin stood next to a river with The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Shaq is in a liminal studio space fit for a yearbook portrait, which feels preposterously low-effort by comparison. The photographer seems to be playing with Shaq’s Olympian dimensions: His 7-foot-1 frame dominates the image although he’s seated. This impression is only enhanced by the chair, far too small for a giant of basketball, as if to suggest that Shaq is reading next to you in a children’s library. Most of all, however, one is struck by the knowing, devilish smile and look that he throws to the camera. Most of the READ ads are straightforward and wholesome — even Nic Cage exudes a fashion-catalog normality with his copy of Herman Hesse’s Siddhartha. Shaq aims for seduction instead: Reading is like having a juicy secret. Shaq has inspired quite a few memes in his day, being quick to laughter, a charming goof and never self-serious. Whether he’s yelling on Twitter because his ass won’t fit on the rides at Knott’s Berry Farm, wiggling like a cat or just falling hard on live TV, he’s clearly a lot of fun. But his library poster — which predates a couple of commercials he shot as a spokesman for the nonprofit Reading Is Fundamental — may best capture his enduring influence. He was a natural choice for this literacy campaign: a sports icon who was crossing into the entertainment mainstream with movies and rap albums. Decades later, it is his impact as a meme that renews the initial message. Was he really ever so bewitched by Undying Glory: The Story of the Massachusetts 54th Regiment, an account of the first Black regiment of the Union Army during the American Civil War? It doesn’t matter. He doesn’t need to convince us, and we didn’t have to figure out what the book is. What we remember is the pleasure of seeing him project the sly thrills of reading. Go on, tell me this joke doesn’t make you want to check out the Quran: Shaq’s mischievous approach to the concept made all the difference. Typical encouragement for kids to read foregrounds enlightenment and wonder: the wholesome, Reading Rainbow model of positive reinforcement. Shaq, by comparison, gives a hint of subversion, the hidden depths and unorthodoxies to be found in the right hardcover. He radiates the sense that by reading, he is getting away with something, or has gained an advantage over the unread viewer. Indeed, there is the streak of his athletic competition here: “I’m enjoying a book — are you?” We are practically dared to browse the shelves for anything as titillating as this volume evidently is. In short, it’s hard to imagine a cooler ambassador to the world of printed matter. He crushed it. Credit to a legend for giving books the boost; we can only imagine how many lifelong readers he inspired. That a dude so big and powerful could be so absorbed in a little object — glancing up only to confirm his immense, almost naughty gratification — is a beautiful testament to the art of the written word. As long as we have Shaq holding a book, we’ll keep turning the pages, too.
‘Pablo,’ the R70 000 blue couch that was taken when an upmarket furniture store in Springfield was looted two weeks ago has reportedly been FOUND. According to a media report, a police source, the couch was recovered from an informal settlement in Quarry Road, just metres from the store’s location. He told the publication that the couch was recovered at the weekend and has been partly damaged. The couch quickly gained fame after the looting when Leather Gallery’s call for aid with information on the couch’s whereabouts. The store, which specialises in modern furniture and lifestyle items posted the following on their Instagram account: “Hi fam, Our Springfield store was looted. We are also missing a blue couch. If you see it, please tag @sedgershome. We are willing to exchange it for something that fits the house. #StaySafe #UniteSouthAfrica.” Social media users answered quickly, with the majority providing the exact location. The couch, which is priced from R67,999, was the subject of a meme when it was photographed at an informal settlement hours after being stolen from the Springfield showroom during the unrest that swept through Durban. Leather Gallery then appealed for information on the whereabouts of its “beloved” sofa, which was “now stranded in the cold,” on Instagram. The couch became a viral meme in South Africa, after which local TikTok star, Tumi Mmope, better known on social media as ‘Tums’, proceeded to post a hilarious video about ‘finding’ the missing couch. The video about the couch had over 55 000 views on TikTok and over 306.3K views on Twitter. Police have spent the last two weeks recovering items looted during the unrest that took place in KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng. Hundreds have since been arrested for their involvement in the unrest.

Earlier this week, the New York Times’Amy Chozickreported on Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton’s belief that alien life may be out there: not just in the over-educated, there’s-definitely-some-lame-bacteria-or-small-space-rodent-in-a-distant-galaxy kind of way, but in a hey-maybe-those-Roswell-guys-were-onto-something kind of way. Clinton’s not closed to the notion that we’ve been visited by intelligent, spacecraft-piloting beings. As Chozick wrote: In a radio interview last month, she said, “I want to open the files as much as we can.” Asked if she believed in U.F.O.s, Mrs. Clinton said: “I don’t know. I want to see what the information shows.” But she added, “There’s enough stories out there that I don’t think everybody is just sitting in their kitchen making them up.” When asked about extraterrestrials in an interview with The Conway Daily Sun in New Hampshire last year, Mrs. Clinton promised to “get to the bottom of it.” “I think we may have been” visited already, she said in the interview. “We don’t know for sure.” Stephen Bassett, a longtime political activist and congressional lobbyist for the disclosure of an extraterrestrial presence by the federal government, received short mention in the Times piece. Curious to learn more about his reaction to Clinton’s remarks and his appraisal of her as a candidate from the perspective of someone lobbying for a decidedly non-mainstream issue, I gave him a call. Less than two hours after leaving him a voicemail, I received a callback and four emails in quick succession, laying out the relevant background. There were links to press coverage of his organization, the Paradigm Research Group, governmentdocuments, and a list of 16 detailed questions that he hoped the media would pose to Clinton. Bassett’s passion is apparent. At the beginning of our conversation, I made the mistake of asking how he first entered the “UFO lobbying game.” He objected to my nomenclature. “First of all, it’s not about UFOs, hasn’t been for some time,” he said. “I have no interest in UFOs. It’s about extraterrestrials and extraterrestrial craft. Lotta syllables, harder to spell, but I’m afraid that’s what it is.” Bassett has been registered as a lobbyist since 1996, “pursuing the political resolution of the extraterrestrial issue.” What follows is a wide-ranging conversation about the politics of potential government disclosure of supposed top-secret documents on extraterrestrials, an issue which has only recently received attention outside a close-knit circle of conspiracy theorists. Pacific Standard cannot vouch for the veracity of any of the theories below. Given the recent coverage in the Times, which is certainly a mainstream, very well-respected paper, were you happy with that story? [Laughs] Happy. Uh. The Times finally got into the political aspect of this issue, 17 months after the competition was out there. It’s 17 months behind the curve. More importantly, the New York Times has the worst record on this issue of any paper in the United States, of any size. Probably the worst record of any major paper would be the Times of London. So yeah, after 20 years of pounding this, and after 17 months of generating unprecedented political coverage, it was nice that the New York Times entered the field. They contacted me. I spent an hour with Amy Chozick at the Times offices. Gave her a tremendous amount of material and contact. I’m the principal source on the article. Now, that’s not reflected in the article, because the Times is not … the article is not about me. That’s fine; she did a good piece. And she has a lot more information than that. You know a little bit of hockey, right? So in the last two days, we have seen the hat trick. In a space of two days, we have had an article in the New York Times, the Times of London, and the Washington Times. Which just kind of reflects that things are moving along pretty rapidly. I hope that this is only just the beginning. This is the biggest news story in history. And I don’t mean Clinton; I mean the presence of extraterrestrials. And it’s high time that the paper of record finally got on board. And what would you say the primary failing of the coverage of these issues is, by the Times and by other respected media outlets? Primary failure is to do appropriate journalism. Look, the truth embargo in this issue, which used to be called the UFO cover-up, began to be put together right after Roswell, in ’47. In order for the truth embargo to work, the U.S. government had to get the cooperation of the major newspapers and the networks. There were only three [networks] back then, and they were pretty much at the government’s command. They were part of the truth embargo. They serviced it. They knew there were limits, there were places they couldn’t go, there were lines they couldn’t cross. And as the years unfolded, they stayed with it. But when the Cold War ended in ’92, and then, the Internet era starts to really accelerate in ’95, the ability for those entities … to sort of contain the issue by not doing appropriate journalism has been eroding rapidly. And so the issue is overwhelming them; it’s like they’ve been running from a tsunami that’s finally caught up with them. Do we have proof of that? No. Is there any paper trail? Not likely. But I guarantee you, the Graham family [of the Washington Post], the publishers of the New York Times, worked out arrangements with the government to what their limits are on their coverage of this issue. Do you think the remarks that Clinton has made in recent months go far enough? Is she the best candidate in terms of dealing with these types of issues or lifting the “embargo”? Paradigm Research Group’s political initiative is not about electing any particular person. The reason that Secretary Clinton is the focus of this is because of her historical connection to the issue via the Rockefeller Initiative, ’93 to ’96. Which she has refused to talk about, and no one in the Clinton team has talked about it or mentioned it since. However, that’s changing because, starting in January of 2015, reporters that had been brought into this are now getting pretty intense into it, had been contacting her campaign and contacting John Podesta with questions. And they’re not answering them. Not a “no comment,” but no response. What is happening now is a very complex strategy being orchestrated by John Podesta. They are very aware that she is almost certainly going to have to confront this issue in full before she gets to the White House. She cannot make it to the White House without first discussing the Rockefeller Initiative with the American people. So the strategy, I believe, that Podesta, who is a brilliant man, is pursuing is that he and she are making statements, on cable news and on late-night talk shows, in tweets to the public and so forth, which are laying a track record of comments, which will insulate them against potential backlash when this thing blows out. But I can assure you that John Podesta would not be giving the interviews he’s given, he would not be putting out those tweets, and Secretary Clinton would certainly not have said what she said to the Conway Daily Sun, on Jimmy Kimmel, or on Power 105 FM in New York, if these individuals did not think that this phenomena was absolutely true. If they knew quite well that there was nothing to this—it was just a 60-year misunderstanding between the human race and the cosmos—then they would be saying none of this. The very fact they’re speaking at all should be a red flag to every single journalist. If you think that these things are political positioning, are you still hopeful that the Clinton presidency would bring some kind of opening of the documents? Or do you think it’s going to die out after? I have no intention, and the movement has no intention, of rolling the dice on what Secretary Clinton will or will not do when she becomes president. She is the catalyst here. Obama is going to be the disclosure president. Because when the media storm finally launches, and the Pentagon is staring down the prospect of 500 reporters with their hair on fire, standing in front of the Pentagon spokesman or [White House Press Secretary] Josh Earnest, at that point, the Pentagon is going to have to give up its regal authority over this issue. And it’s going to have to stoop to working out an arrangement with the president and the White House as to the protocols and particulars about a disclosure event and the immediate aftermath. The Pentagon and the White House will cut that deal, and he will be the disclosure president. If, by some miracle, the situation remains in stasis all the way through the election, and Secretary Clinton wins the election, the Paradigm Research Group and this movement is going to literally rain pressure down upon her. And we will marshal millions of people around the world; she’s going to see more emails to her campaign than she ever dreamed. And if, by some miracle, she actually gets to the White House and it still hasn’t blown sky high, then we have a lot to use to hold her feet to the fire. But being the president, you can basically tell everybody to just go pound sand. So I don’t want to get to that point. If Obama does announce the E.T. presence, she has a fair chance to be the first full-term post-disclosure president. And the fact is, the first full-term post-disclosure president is going to have enormous influence on the policies and developments in the post-disclosure world, which will be one of the most extraordinary times you or I or anybody else could ever imagine living through. And what do you think, exactly, is going to be disclosed? Or, you don’t know? No, disclosure is easy. Disclosure is specifically stated by the advocacy movement as the formal acknowledgement of the extraterrestrial presence by heads of state. The moment the words come out of Barack Obama’s mouth—we have an extraterrestrial presence engaging us—that is disclosure. Now, anything else we learn after that will be a negotiation between the White House and the Pentagon and the American people, with the media almost exclusively on the side of the American people. And that negotiation will be a dramatic tug of war. And over the weeks and months that follow disclosure, information will emerge. Exactly what, and how much, and when remains to be seen. In terms of the initial disclosure, you’re saying that either Obama or Clinton will acknowledge that someone in the U.S. has had contact with extraterrestrial life? No. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. That’s not disclosure. Disclosure is the announcement of an extraterrestrial presence engaging the human race, however it is engaging. It’s not about the specifics. That this phenomena that we have been seeing all around the world for seven decades is extraterrestrial in origin. That is it. Secretary Clinton can’t make that announcement; she’s not the president. All she can do is answer truthfully her full involvement in the Rockefeller Initiative and give explanations for the comments going back to 2002 of her campaign chairman, her husband, and so forth. When you say extraterrestrial presence, what would you define that as? Non-human, intelligent beings, almost certainly from other planetary systems, of which we now know there are billions, with interstellar travel, maneuvering around in our airspace in advanced, anti-gravitic craft, and very possibly operating on the ground in various ways. That’s the extraterrestrial presence, at minimum. So, it doesn’t necessarily mean ground presence? Well, we know they’re on the ground. They’re seen on the ground, they’re seen landing. So yeah, they’re on the ground. Do they have bases here? Not confirmed. But I assure you, they’re not just flying around watching us, no. There’s a lot more to it than that. Are they living amongst us? This is a question that’s often asked. I don’t know. Do you believe Clinton or any other government personnel have had contact, or do you believe that they just have access to documents? Well, first of all, no, they don’t have access to documents. The Pentagon does not consider the president on a need-to-know basis. They have the same access to the evidence in the public domain, which is massive. They don’t have any access to inside government stuff held within the military intelligence community. As far as contact, I have no way of knowing if any members of the Clinton political team or members of Congress or members of the Pentagon are contactees. No way to know. But, given the numbers that we think are out there, it’s likely there are some. But that’s not that important right now. What’s important is the E.T. presence being announced, and then we’ll go from there. I’m not going to claim to be studied up on this, the exact details of the contact, but if you had to explain to someone what it has consisted of, other than that there’s been events or strange occurrences that have been observed by people all over the world, is there any particular—? Look, the contact phenomena is a very complicated and advanced aspect of this, which really cannot be addressed until post-disclosure. And it won’t be easy, and it won’t be comfortable. The only thing I will say about it now [is] over the last 30 years, nearly one million written accounts, maybe even more than one million written accounts from individuals describing contact of one type or another, have been sent to researchers around the world and rest in their files right now. Most of these have been reviewed by one or more researchers. There is a consistency to these reports that is extremely persuasive. And that’s really all I can say at this point. You must get this question all the time, but what do you say to the people who just say you’re a conspiracy theorist or a guy who allows his hope to seep into his perception? First of all, almost no one says that to me. You get the occasional remarks in comment sections by trolls on the Internet, but no. I meet with people on the Hill; no one says this to me. Because people who are in the know, people who are well-informed know full well that this is true. But to anybody who wants to challenge it or wants to make a comment like that, my answer is always pretty much the same: “You know, you’ll figure it out when you figure it out.” It’s not about convincing, it’s about getting government policy changed. And there are plenty of people who simply don’t know what’s going on, they’re not informed. I don’t take offense. It’s not a problem, and it’s not going to affect the disclosure movement much at all. Knowing what you do, and having done the research that you’ve done, you don’t think we’re in danger, do you? You don’t think this is a national security or global security issue? By definition, the presence of extraterrestrials is a national security matter and has been from day one. I understand that, that’s why I call it a truth embargo and not a cover-up. It was perfectly legal for national security reasons. Second, based on what I know of the totality of the evidence, I am relatively confident that after disclosure’s taken place, and even after open contact, which I believe will probably follow within a relatively short time, the world’s people will be pleased with what they have learned and where this is going. That is my view. If I had hard evidence we were in for an extremely rough time, I would say so. I don’t see it. Doesn’t mean that’s not the case. But now, I want to add number three. And this is a meme that’s been out in the Net for some time, fortunately: We have to be extremely wary that some element of the government—doesn’t have to be the entire government—or intelligence branches may foolishly decide that selling an alien threat as part of the disclosure process will serve their interests. Because, you know, every nation in the world has got its certain share of war mongers running the show. And, trying to sell, falsely, an alien threat would be a colossal blunder on the part of government, which is not unfamiliar with colossal blunders. On the other hand, if there is an awful threat by extraterrestrials, and they come forward with clear evidence in a forthright way, then we will listen and act accordingly. And knowing the sort of vitriolic rhetoric of Donald Trump, are you worried about what he might say about all this? Over the last 26 years, we have seen one of the worst and most vicious eras of political partisanship in American history. And where the two parties are attacking everything, everything, and candidates are attacking everything: your looks, your dress, your clothes, your relatives, your cat, your dog, making up lies if they have to, revealing every skeleton in every closet. It’s absolutely a bloodbath. And yet, even though the Republicans were well aware of the Rockefeller Initiative, during the most bizarre campaign in history, in all of that time, not a single Republican candidate or the RNC has ever attacked any member of the Clinton political team over the extraterrestrial issue. No tinfoil hats, no beanies, no nothing. And that is inconceivable. If Hillary Clinton wore a mismatched pantsuit, she would be ripped by right-wing press. The reason the Republicans have not dared to attack the Clintons on this issue is because the Republican brain trust is fully aware there’s an extraterrestrial presence. Is it your view that Clinton is a better “E.T. candidate” than Trump? A better question would be: Who would be the best post-disclosure president? And all I can say is that, of the three remaining candidates, the only one who has a historical record to the issue is Secretary Clinton. And the only one who has said anything about it is Secretary Clinton. And so, one might conclude that that would make her the better choice, but maybe not. Because one could also argue that since she’s remained silent for 23 years just to service her own ambitions, she can’t be trusted and we need somebody else. But that’s not my job. My job is to get disclosure now from Obama. Do you believe in the sci-fi aspect of the government actually having some kind of, the Area 51 theories, where there’s an alien imprisoned or something? There is evidence that we have crash vehicles and dead bodies and have had living aliens, yes. Captured. That’s not the same thing as working with them hand-to-hand in some underground facility. Do we have underground facilities? Absolutely. Is that where I think most of this is operating? Absolutely. But, do we have arrangements with E.T.s? Not proven. Do the E.T.s have underground bases? Not proven. Likely, but not proven. And it’s not sci-fi, this is just basic assessments from what we do know. But because of the truth embargo, we have too many theories and not enough facts, which is what the government wants. The more enmeshed you are in theories without facts, the more you just wander around in circles going nowhere. We need to drop the theory quotient and increase the fact quotient by many, many magnitudes. If you had to lean one way or the other, it would be toward a non-adversarial relationship developing between humans and extraterrestrials? I can’t predict every aspect or component of the relationship that this planet may have with multiple species. I would bet that our relationship with the extraterrestrials post-disclosure or post-contact will be quite a bit more comfortable than our relationships with each other. In other words, we’ve got plenty of adversarial relationships in this world, and I doubt the extraterrestrial situation will be any worse than that, if not much better. This interview has been edited for length and clarity.
It’s been a really long week for Cecilia Giménez. Never heard of her before? Join the club. But though she’s not a household name, there’s a pretty good chance you’ve seen her artwork, which has been flooding facebook and tumblr feeds since she became an international art sensation early last week. You see, Giménez is part of the community at the Santuario de la Misericordia, a Catholic Church in Borja, Spain. Inside the Santuario is a 19th century fresco by Spanish painter Elías García Martínez that depicts Christ crowned with thorns before his crucifixion. This theme is known as “Ecce Homo” in the history of Christian art, referring to Pontius Pilate’s exclamation to the assembled crowds (“Behold the man!”) before he handed Jesus over to death. But after decades of wear and tear, Martínez’s fresco began to deteriorate as the paint gradually chipped away. Until Giménez took matters into her own hands, that is: Yes, this is perhaps the worst art restoration of all time. And yes, there are interesting questions about why this happened in the first place (Giménez claims the local clergy knew what she was doing; they claim she went rogue). But more importantly (at least for our purposes), she gave rise to the new “Ecce Homo” meme. Her particular and peculiar face of Christ–made in the image and likeness of Mr. Potato Head–is now all over the internet (and all over famous works of art, too). We at TJP loves us a good meme (check out our latest here), and some of these are pretty great. The story is unfortunate, of course, and there is talk of trying to strip away Giménez’s masterpiece. But then again, the meme may have made the ‘restoration’ more famous than the original.

So, a cheerleading troupe inquired about playing the Go Game. The team consisted of 30 or so cheerleaders and coaches. They wanted to do the game in San Antonio, which naturally meant I, the Lead Texas Producer, would be assigned the game. Our salesperson on this particular event, Sara, envisioned some sort of Darwinian event in the vein of Bring It On, the Kirsten Dunst movie. I was secretly a little terrified. Normally, we run games for corporate types, so this was quite the departure. I must look like a complete Geek to these kids. How was I going to engage a bunch of pre-teens in the Go Game hijinks without them rolling their eyes at me then sitting on a bench and texting their friends how very terrible a time they were having? The answer was to get them to sing and dance as much as possible. While I did receive the requisite eye rolls, I think we ended up with a stellar event as evidenced by this video, playing on the Call Me Maybe meme. We also received some of the best creative missions in Go Game history complete with REAL backflips and choreographed handshakes. So yeah, it was awesome. Everyone at the Go Game enjoys the creative challenge of building new missions for a particular audience. Having that comfort zone erased makes for the best experiences. And that is why everyone at the Go Game loves their job. Play on!

The following video shows remarks by various individuals including President Obama on the shameful behavior of the US Senate in relation to a bill increasing the scope of background checks on individuals who plan to purchase firearms in the United States. Go HERE to pick up a nice Facebook Meme and engage in other social networking regarding this issue. There are at least three ads from a mom's gun control group. One is here, the other two are similar (one uses dodgeball). Let's consider the NRA claim that expanded background checks — even the scaled-back checks the bill specified, far from the universal checks the president wanted — would infringe the right of law-abiding, responsible citizens to own guns. The only way this could happen is if those allegedly responsible citizens are mentally ill, or are hiding criminal records. If that were true, are these the sorts of people the NRA leadership would want to make up their "well-regulated militia"? I certainly hope not. this is justanother case of politicians maintaining the dumbass status quo. classic of senators to cockblock human advancement by catering to yokels clinging to bygone fears of government takeovers.

Readers may recall that last evening saw fans of DeepVeer, aka, Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone glued to the actors’ social media accounts as they awaited the pictures of their much talked about wedding. While the continuous delay was testing the patience of many, some of them decided to tickle the funny bone and entertain others. One amongst them was the actress turned politician Smriti Irani and her quirky meme definitely grabbed some attention! It is a known fact that the publicists had earlier announced that Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone will be sharing their wedding pictures online at around 6PM. But the wait extended until 8PM and fans and others were getting impatient to catch a glimpse of the newlyweds. Smriti Irani, instead of the wait, decided to do something quirky and shared this picture on her Instagram handle. She shared a picture of this skeleton along with a caption that read, ‘#when you have waited for #deepveer #wedding #pics for too longgggg.” Well, manty of them didn’t respond to the joke well, if someone accompanied the Union Minister in her sense of humour, it was her former co-star, Ronit Roy. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Smriti Irani (@smritiiraniofficial) on Nov 14, 2018 at 8:13am PST 90s kids would remember them as the famous onscreen couple, Tulsi and Mihir from the popular TV soap Kyun Ki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi. Ronit Roy, who goes by the name ‘Ronit Bose Roy’ on Instagram responded to it saying, “Woh Zinda Hoga, Woh Mihir Hai.’ For the uninitiated, Ronit was referring to the infamous plotline of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi which portrayed Mihir returning from the dead on more than one occasion. The comment left many followers in splits. Click HERE to read more and view the original source of this article.
O, what to do? When you are solving an engineering problem and see the answer at last, it hits you like a thunderbolt. The conservatives, the normal people, the grill-Americans, must accept their own low energy. They must cease their futile reaching for passionate intensity . . . They must fight the shark on land. Conservatives don’t care [about politics] —at least not enough. Yet they want to matter. Yet they live in a political system where mattering is a function of caring—not just voting. Therefore, there are two potential solutions: (a) make them care more; (b) make systems that let them matter more, without caring more. You’ll have to read the whole article to get the point, and it’s overlong as usual. I think he does this deliberately to shake off the unworthy but comments under the line suggest his efforts are not entirely successful. Anyway, here I am reading his article and becoming a little bit convinced. Then I start thinking, wait a minute. What if the other side did it first? There is a trend to describe new culture battles in terms of ‘public health’ in an attempt to piggyback various agendas on the shoulders of Covid panic. BLM protests are okay amid Covid lockdowns because racism is a public health threat. Calling someone by the wrong pronouns is a public health risk because it causes suicide. Climate change is a public health risk. That sort of thing. Convicts sent to Australia from England and Ireland were sentenced to either seven years of hard labour, fourteen years or life. None were allowed to return home. That was the punishment: to live out their lives on the opposite side of the world, far from civilization. Those who escaped mostly assimilated into Aboriginal tribes beyond the frontier of settlement. Finding a berth for the perilous, eight-month return journey was almost impossible. In one of history’s customary ironies, some convicts found life in the antipodal hellscape agreeable enough to send for their families, a policy encouraged due to the severe sex imbalance. Colonial women frequently suffered problems during labour because they were small from growing up in poverty while their unborn babies grew large from their mother’s new, protein-rich diet. They were still poor but land was plentiful and mutton was cheap. Few of the big, colonial-born subjects of the Empire returned to their ancestral homelands. They were allowed to but the tyranny of distance meant that few could even consider such a journey. In later years, many Europeans would emigrate as free settlers in hope of a better life. Like the convicts, their farewells were mostly final as few saw their relatives in the old country again. In 2021, we see a rebirth of this strange phenomenon of prison-island-as-haven. You may have heard the odd case of Douglass Mackey, aka Twitter troll Ricky Vaughn. He was arrested in January 2021 for a 2016 tweet telling Hillary Clinton supporters they could vote for her via text: Apparently 4,900 people fell for it or at least sent the text as a lark to see what would happen. Mr. Mackey, who was released from custody on Wednesday on a $50,000 bond, faces an unusual charge: conspiracy to violate rights, which makes it illegal for people to conspire to “oppress” or “intimidate” anyone from exercising a constitutional right, such as voting. The charge carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison. A notorious prankster, it seems a bit rough to arrest him and threaten a decade in jail for a stupid meme. Compare a similar case from Australia in the 1990s: This is true in human affairs. When people begin pushing for gay marriage, for example, the anti-gay marriage camp will redouble their efforts in response. When a new religion proselytizes, those who oppose it become more vocal. The moral of the story is not to avoid changing anything. Rather, one must realize that any new initiative will be met with increased resistance by those who oppose it. While things might be quiet now, expect things to heat up once you start pushing. This blog has become dour. That’s because my life’s been flipped upside down like a beetle and I’m not sure if I can turn it back the right way. I’ve missed out on two jobs due to pandemic travel restrictions. My own country has abandoned me. Those closest to me have fallen into the Woke/Covidian cult. Right now I still have no good option for getting off this fecking island and doing something with my life. I’ve become negative about the future because it appears that hysterical restrictions on everything and tyrannical controls on free speech are here to stay. The Australian media has taken a break from Covid hysteria to whip up a new wave of hysteria about men behaving badly in federal parliament. There was an accusation of rape committed inside the parliament one drunken night, with a police complaint being made two years after the alleged act. Then a senior politician was accused by a dead, bipolar ex-girlfriend of raping her decades ago. Yes, dead. She wrote something about these ‘recovered memories’ before she died. So far, so Narrative-friendly. Men are bad! Believe all women! On 25th February, 2020, I wrote an article listing the many US and world leaders over the age of 70, pointing out that there was a very high chance not all of them would survive that year (with or without the coof) and that this unsurprising outcome would likely give rise to baseless conspiracy allegations. I’m not going to make the case for any of these things. Rather, this is a reminder that Team Blue’s primary means of advocating these views are (a) to insist that we believe the science and listen to experts, and (b) to censor any alternative views as ‘disinformation’. There’s an evil German engineer trying to take over the world through a nefarious scheme called The Great Reset. It’s probably full-on Soviet Marxism in Woke clothing. As for Klaus Schwab himself, I can’t tell whether he’s a demon in human form or just a lizard person. Maybe something halfway between. Demoralization involves undermining a nation’s confidence and faith in its own moral fibre. Among the Woke, this has been achieved totally: they fervently believe everything about the West has always been broken and are prepared to use violence to upend it all and set it right. Let us take it as given that a virus as contagious as Covid is virtually impossible to eradicate except in countries with easy-to-seal borders. At best, it can be somewhat suppressed until a vaccine arrives, treatment improves or herd immunity is achieved. In Australia we tend to ape everything our Americans cousins do, good and bad. If they try zero-tolerance policing, so do we. If they bomb Syria, so do we. If they stick a spoon up their arse, so do we. In the 1990s there was some antipodean muttering about our primitive electoral system. Voters mark paper ballots with pencils and these are counted by hand, the results telephoned into headquarters for the official tally. If it’s close, we might not get the result until very late at night or even the next day. ‘Why don’t we copy the Americans?’ asked the monkeys. ‘They have machines that can tally the vote instantly.’ First, here are some points that are not in question: – Yes of course there was cheating. I’m trying to get at whether there was more than usual, i.e. enough to flip a race that was not already razor-tight. – Yes, there are many dodgy things about the process itself including the movement of ballots, lack of scrutineers etc. I considered writing a post about how this could be improved but realized it was far, far too late. 2000 was the year to fix it.
Waiting on Wednesday is a meme hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine in which we have the opportunity to let others know about books that we are eagerly waiting for. History Is All You Left Me by Adam Silvera Published on January 17th 2017 by SOHO Teen Genres: Young Adult, Contemporary, LGBT OCD-afflicted Griffin has just lost his first love, Theo, in a drowning accident. In an attempt to hold onto every piece of the past, he forges a friendship with Theo's last boyfriend, Jackson. When Jackson begins to exhibit signs of guilt, Griffin suspects he's hiding something, and will stop at nothing to get to the truth about Theo's death. But as the grieving pair grows closer, readers will question Griffin's own version of the truth—both in terms of what he's willing to hide and what true love means. Why I’m waiting: I’ll admit I haven’t read Adam’s other book (More Happy Than Not) yet for the sole reason that I’m afraid I won’t like it. It’s a much loved book, but it’s also a bit sci-fi and I’m not a big fan of that. I will read it some day. But this book sounds much more up my alley and I really can’t wait to read it. That release date is so far away though. Sigh. by Jay Asher Published on October 11th 2016 Genres: Young Adult, Contemporary, Romance Also by this author: Thirteen Reasons Why, What Light From Jay Asher, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Thirteen Reasons Why, comes a romance that will break your heart, but soon have you believing again. . . Sierra's family runs a Christmas tree farm in Oregon—it's a bucolic setting for a girl to grow up in, except that every year, they pack up and move to California to set up their Christmas tree lot for the season. So Sierra lives two lives: her life in Oregon and her life at Christmas. And leaving one always means missing the other. Until this particular Christmas, when Sierra meets Caleb, and one life eclipses the other. By reputation, Caleb is not your perfect guy: years ago, he made an enormous mistake and has been paying for it ever since. But Sierra sees beyond Caleb's past and becomes determined to help him find forgiveness and, maybe, redemption. As disapproval, misconceptions, and suspicions swirl around them, Caleb and Sierra discover the one thing that transcends all else: true love. What Light is a love story that's moving and life-affirming and completely unforgettable. Why I’m waiting: 13 Reasons Why is the only book I’ve read by Asher and it was so powerful. A call to action for suicide prevention and the repercussions for those left behind. I cannot wait to read his new book. Also, that cover is gorgeous 🙂 (Note from Bee: It really is. And I loved 13 Reasons Why!)

The market’s most-shorted shares have a foul rap as meme performs for Redditors. However not all closely shorted firms are created equal. As this quarter’s earnings season is proving, some have an excellent deal extra than simply excessive short-interest to gasoline future good points. It’s arduous at greatest to maintain monitor of what heavily-shorted shares are holding courtroom with Reddit’s ape inhabitants. As a gaggle they’ve had endurance in 2021 that the majority would by no means have thought doable. And that’s led to quite a lot of buying and selling. From the primary whiff of the apes monkey enterprise in January led by GameStop (NYSE:GME) to newer brief squeeze muscling in NeuroMetrix (NASDAQ:NURO) or Meta Supplies (NASDAQ:MMAT), the group’s over-the-top signature imprints are discovered on various worth charts of in the present day’s most-shorted shares. But by and huge, it hasn’t ended effectively in most of these focused shares. Most ape-induced worth and quantity traces left on these firms worth charts level at conditions the place the bears will probably prevail. However it could be a mistake to assume meme shares traded by apes and shares with excessive brief curiosity are one in the identical. They’re not. Let’s discover three shares with above-average ranges of bears residing of their shares, mixed with earnings beats and pullback entries which provide bullish traders longer-term alternatives past in the present day’s planet of the ape exploits. Most-Shorted Shares to Purchase: fuboTV (FUBO) Supply: Charts by TradingView The primary of our most-shorted shares to purchase is fuboTV. The latest information reveals brief curiosity of about 18%, however I believe a few of these bears have rightfully tossed within the towel. The streaming sports activities upstart pulled off one other all-around strong earnings launch providing street-beating, growth-filled metrics and boosting guidance. What’s extra, preliminary cheers have become profit-taking type jeers worthy of a purchase order choice. Technically, the weekly chart of FUBO reveals a steep pullback from the bullish earnings response. This places shares of this most-shorted inventory close to key help backed by July’s patterned low off the 50% Fibonacci degree. With stochastics signaling a bullish crossover in impartial territory, this appears like an excellent spot to play offensively in FUBO. A technique to make sure traders don’t get sacked on this most-shorted inventory is a fully-hedged September $30/$34 collar mixture. Superior Micro Units (AMD) Supply: Charts by TradingView The following of our most-shorted shares to purchase is Superior Micro Units. AMD inventory isn’t your typical high-short curiosity play because it is available in at roughly 7.5%. That’s above-average, however not sounding alarm bells by any means. However, AMD’s practically $9.5 billion in shorted inventory does make it one of many market’s high dollar-weighted bearish performs on the market. And people Benjamins are at clear danger. Late July’s earnings unequivocally reaffirmed AMD is a drive throughout the world of semiconductors that’s solely getting larger and higher with every passing quarter. biedexmarkets.com’s Vandita Jadeja does a pleasant job of offering additional color on that entrance. Technically, a bearish head-and-shoulders sample which started final summer time was cleanly dismembered within the quarterly report’s aftermath as this most-shorted inventory jumped to new highs. At present, the aggressive shopping for binge in AMD has been subtle. Additional, with a confirmed pullback take a look at into Fibonacci help and oversold stochastics simply now forming a bullish crossover, it’s time to purchase this most-shorted inventory. One favored method to gaining leveraged lengthy publicity in AMD inventory that appears good on and off the value chart is the October $110/$125 bull name unfold. Most-Shorted Shares to Purchase: AMC (AMC) Supply: Charts by TradingView The final of our most-shorted shares to purchase is AMC Leisure. Not that I saved the perfect for final, I didn’t. However I did hold essentially the most infamous of our earnings-driven purchases as in the present day’s closing act. One of many market’s authentic short-squeeze meme shares from January sports activities a lot decrease, however nonetheless vital brief curiosity of round 17% as of the top of July. And there’s good motive for the discount. Courtesy of the apes’ bullish escapades this yr AMC has been in a position to vastly enhance its monetary prospects by tapping the capital markets with secondaries. Now, the present could really have the ability to go on following this most-shorted inventory’s better-than-expected earnings launch. The corporate freely admits it’s “not out of the woods.” But when we’re to belief within the forward-pricing capability of AMC inventory’s worth chart, a ray of sunshine is poking via which can information shares into the clear. Technically, this most-shorted inventory might be placing the ending touches on a hard-hitting correction. Approaching Friday’s closing bell shares shaped a weekly inside doji choice candle that’s testing the 62% Fibonacci degree and prior all-time-high from 2016. With stochastics in oversold territory, bullish sample affirmation accompanied by a crossover sign appears like a terrific alternative to purchase a collar and cheer on a second act for this most-shorted inventory.

(Seychelles News Agency) - Artisanal fishers from the Indian Ocean countries have gathered in a training session in Seychelles to identify skills needed in co-management, leadership and communication to tackle common challenges. The three-day training from September 11-13 is being organised by the Federation of Artisanal Fishers of the Indian Ocean (FPAOI) and the Seychelles Fisheries Authority (SFA) at the Coco D'Or Hotel in the northern Mahe district of Beau Vallon. The chairman of the Federation, Seychellois Keith Andre, told journalists that the fishermen in the region are facing common challenges such as climate change which needs to be dealt with collectively. “We have found that in our previous training certain countries have surmounted certain challenges that others are still struggling with and we thought that by sharing experiences and knowledge we could find the solution at the doorstep of our neighbours,” said Andre. He added that by meeting collectively “we have managed to accomplish many great things such as pushing for a resolution to reduce industrial fishing by big operators which is often not sustainable.” The training, which is also helping with the establishment of a line and track fishery co-management plan, is sponsored by the Technical Centre for Agricultural and Rural Cooperation ACP-EU as ongoing support since 2017. The three-day training is being organised by the Federation of Artisanal Fishers of the Indian Ocean (FPAOI) and the Seychelles Fisheries Authority. (Joena Meme) Photo License: CC-BY Apart from climate change, Andre said that the Blue Economy concept is also a threat to fishermen. “All of a sudden everybody wants a chunk of the ocean and it is being done at the expense of the fishermen. In the name of protection, everybody wants the fishermen out to protect the reef. This is why we are providing training in co-management and leadership as the right management system can allow our profession to co-exist with other activities,” he said. Fisheries is the second top contributor to the economy of Seychelles, a group of 115 islands in the western Indian Ocean. The chairperson of the Seychelles’ Roche Caiman Fisherman Association, Florant Tirant, told SNA that the training has taught him that fishing is not only about going out to sea to fish and then sell what you have caught. “There is more to it than that. I have been taught that with the right management skills I can move from being a small fisherman to one who is now capable of managing my boat, finance as well as leading and mentoring other fishermen through an association,” said Tirant. The training is also focusing on building the knowledge of fishermen and their negotiating skills and are providing success stories to encourage others to take up this noble profession. TODAY in Seychelles, 14th January 2017, by N. Tirant: Seychelles fishermen want to take part in and have a say in discussions that they claim could affect the country’s fisheries and fish stocks and have a long term effect on their livelihoods. TODAY NEWSPAPER; 6th October 2016; N. Tirant: Two years after the announcement that it would be made a protected nature reserve under the Nature Parks and Conservancy Act, the island group of D’Arros, situated 250km from Mahé in Seychelles’ outer islands, is back in the environmental limelight. And this time, the public wants to be heard on the second attempt to turn the group into a “special reserve” that could affect livelihoods.

I need to finish up stuff here and get ready for Iowa and Christmas! - TTT: My Favorite books read in 2014 - TBR Review: Have Space Suit – Will Travel by Robert Heinlein - Review: Burn for Me by Ilona Andrews - Review: Dreamer’s Pool by Juliet Marillier - Sunday Post What books did you collect last week? What are you planning next week?
Did you all know I’m homeschooling? Well, I am. On top of running a business and writing (well, trying o find the time to edit) and running a household and all else, I’m now homeschooling full-time. So time to do anything is harder to come by now. 🙂 Show. Road. Get on onto the other. Someone, anyone, hold my hand and help me get started…. Last section ended when he called his Ros to have her order him breakfast since he’s too lazy and high and mighty to talk to the plebes who prepare his food. So we’ve got this guy… You know, the king who touches his glasses as little as possible because servants touched them? Yeah. This is the Christian Grey we are dealing with, although Leo’s version of Louis XVI might have been willing to occasionally call his own servants. (Man in the Iron Mask is a wonderful movie that was overshadowed by the popularity of Titanic. If you haven’t seen it, do watch. Just ignore the inconsistent accents. Prepare to be stunned as Leo pulls off dual roles so well that you cant ell which twin he is in promo pics.) The pseudo-business talk is brief this time, only notable because it’s obvious that James tossed in whatever she thought would sound impressive. And oh, joy, an email from Ana comes in. When the title is “Assault and Battery: The After-Effects,” you should know it’s not fun and games to her. Dear Mr. Grey, You wanted to know why I felt confused after you—which euphemism should we apply—spanked, punished, beat, assaulted me. Do you want to know Grey’s response? Get a pillow. Seriously. If you don’t get a pillow to scream into, then wait until you are somewhere where you can scream. I mean it. So she started by stating that he wanted to know why she felt confused after he hit her. That’s all. Well… A tad overdramatic, Miss Steele. You could have said no. “But, your honor! She didn’t say no!” Except that she did with her body language, and she’s said it verbally. Well, during the whole alarming process, I felt demeaned, debased, and abused. If you felt that way, why didn’t you stop me? You have safe words. Because she’s SCARED, you ASSHOLE! Also a REAL Dom knows to watch out for a sub getting too overwhelmed to use a safe word. She also shouldn’t need safe words since she hasn’t consented to being a sub! She can’t make it clearer that she doesn’t want this! And much to my mortification, you’re right, I was aroused, and that was unexpected. I know. Good. You’ve finally acknowledged it. So I guess shame on the rape survivors whose physiological systems work well enough that they lubricate and orgasm. As if survivors aren’t conflicted and feeling guilty enough, let’s hold this crap up as wonderful. This book is one huge rape-apology. In the rest of her email, she goes on to tell him she was orgasmically satisfied, which confuses her since she felt demeaned. She doesn’t want what’s happening, though the orgasm felt good. This doesn’t mean she consented after the fact, though that’s what she’s feeling she did. How can she not have wanted what ultimately ended with something that felt good? Oh, that’s right, Grey’s in a business meeting! Nice of him to remember that for a paragraph, before returning to emails and telling us he hoped the other people thin he’s just taking notes. He can’t possibly be ignoring them any more than he is. His reply is full of the usual rapemansplaining we’d expect, complete with openly blaming her. So you felt demeaned, debased, abused, and assaulted—how very Tess Durbeyfield of you. I believe it was you who decided on the debasement, if I remember correctly. So if I tell you, dear reader, that I’m going to hurt you, and you have a few options, and you know there’s no escaping, and you pick one, does that make it your fault when you feel harmed later? That’s what he’s doing there. Ana doesn’t have a way out right now. She’s playing the game because she’s forced, and now he’s blaming her. Don’t waste your energy on guilt, feelings of wrongdoing, etc. We are consenting adults and what we do behind closed doors is between ourselves. You need to free your mind and listen to your body. “If the orgasms feel good, ignore not wanting the rest. And since your no’s really mean YES!, it’s consent in my twisted world.” Ana replied (by the way, if you haven’t seen the movie, these emails are shown, at last in part, on the screen) that, if she’d listen to her body, she’d be in Alaska by now. I’d joke that that’s so Edward Cullen of her, but I know it means that she wants to run away from him. She wants out. But look what happened when she joked about it before and he thought she meant it. His breakfast arrives, and either Kate’s dad is onto a different part of business, or James is tossing more random stuff together. Earlier, he was interested in laying fiber optic internet line (not as easy as just paying for it, since cable is a physical thing that needs to go under already-owed and public property), and now he’s asking if it’ll help him in the stock futures market. Unless he’s talking about committing the crime of trading in stock in various internet companies based on inside knowledge of new line, then…this just doesn’t make sense. Back to emails! His next one if titled, “You Didn’t Call the Cops.” I am in a meeting discussing the futures market, if you’re really interested. For the record, you stood beside me knowing what I was going to do. You didn’t at any time ask me to stop—you didn’t use either safe word. You are an adult—you have choices. Quite frankly, I’m looking forward to the next time my palm is ringing with pain. You’re obviously not listening to the right part of your body. Alaska is very cold and no place to run. I would find you. I can track your cell phone—remember? Go to work. FUCK NO. FUUUUUCKKK NOO!!!! To EJ James: FUCK YOU YOU FUCKING BITCH! How the HELL is this guy romantic? What the hell is wrong with you that you are pushing THIS FUCKING BASTARD off as the romantic ideal?! Fans of this shit, explain. NOW. Explain HOW that is romantic!! Have you sought therapy for your stalker tendencies? I smother my laugh. She’s funny. No. It’s not funny. You just told her you can track her cell phone and will find her. STALKER! It’s NOT FUNNY. Women DIE because of shit like this. In really real life, real actual breathing women are KILLED by people like this! And he, and James, and all their stupid, STUPID fans, think this is okay and even FUNNY. The fans think this book makes him SWEETER. What the hell is wrong with all of you fan?! I’m making this personal now. Something is WRONG with you when you think that THAT is the sign of a sweet man. Grey tells her he has Flynn, and Ana sensibly suggests a second opinion. Grey tells her that Flynn IS the second opinion, and it’s none of her business anyway. Maybe if the first therapist suggested Grey work on making changes, and so he fired Flynn to go with someone who’d tell him he’s perfect. Oh, goody. Another paragraph to remind us Grey should be working, but is not. Ana tells him, rightly, that Grey’s stalker tendencies ARE her business. Damned straight, it’s her business! She’s the one who can’t do jack without being watched, and it’s putting her in a position where she knows she can’t escape Go along with what he wants, or he’ll hunt her down!! Like a psychopath, he is amused. The business meeting ends, and Ros stares at him in shock. Since I am doing these posts as I read, I don’t know why yet. He tells Ros he’ll get back to her in a minute. Ana’s next email makes his last one relevant, and hers before that. Let me go back… Her: I haven’t signed yet. So rules, schmules. Him: Schmules”? Not sure where that appears in Webster’s dictionary. It’s between control freak and stalker. And descriptive linguistics is a hard limit for me. Will you stop bothering me now? And do you think he will? Of course not! Who do you think he is, Farkle? Here’s what these two fictional guys supposedly have in common: Hard-working (I did say supposedly have in common). A measure of conceit. Think they rule the world to some degree. Are possessive of women. Here is how Farkle, a 12-year-old on Girl Meets World, is different: When faced with his main crush, Riley, crushing on someone else, rather than try to ruin her life, he helps her. Their friend, Maya, asks if he’s not in love with her, to which he replied yes, and that’s why he wants Riley to be happy. And in another episode, when Riley and Maya were fighting over who got to go to an event with him (at first, he was tickled they were fighting over him, until it threatened to damage their friendship), he told them he was picking neither since he didn’t want to be the one to come between them. Unlike Grey, Minkus is willing to put those he loves ahead of himself. He doesn’t think so highly of myself that he’ll hurt anyone, especially those he loves, since he knows how to love. I want to beat the tar out of Christian Grey, but would be thrilled if my daughter ended up with someone like Farkle, conceit and all. Yet Farkle isn’t painted as the romantic ideal. The abusive Grey, on the other hand, is. Grey types a last email to Ana about being eager to hit her. What she wants doesn’t matter. So he finally gets back to Ros who rips him a new one for holding a meeting he clearly wasn’t interested, especially for such a huge contract, and it was very noticeable. Ah. That’s why she was shocked by his behavior. He smiles at her, and she becomes an amuse little air-headed wimminz. Lovely. On what we’re supposed to believe is impulse, he wants Ros to look for publishing houses in Seattle that he could buy. He tries to assure her it’s just looking, but I can tell you now it’s because he wants to buy anywhere Ana might work. We can all see the problems that poses, right? And that meeting ends. He calls his secretary and tells her to have a gynecologist go to his apartment on Saturday. He tells her to get the best. Too bad the best, or any ethical gyno at all, would have a problem with a man ordering in a doc to do something to someone who hasn’t consented to any medical appointment. He can’t focus on much else except how much fun those emails were. I can’t recall any exchange of e-mails being that fun, ever. I was going to say I never read such horrible emails, but then I remembered a real email I got from an ex’s dad. It’s so bad I never forgot it. Went to bed horny. Woke up horny. Am horny and in need. My ex thought it was funny. I didn’t. My single email is worse only because it happened. Aside from that, that “fun” exchange he had with Ana is the worst I can recall ever reading. Aw, poor little asshole is momentarily worried that his lack of interest in the contract was apparent. Not for long! He gets in the shower and starts having sex thoughts about Ana bouncing up and down on is penis, and then hitting her. He has no other reason for wanting to see her. Ah, he is amused now thinking about her being upset with him. Her e-mails make me laugh. They’re entertaining. She’s funny. I never knew I liked that in a woman. I’ll need to think about what we’ll do on Sunday in my playroom…something fun, something new for her. She wasn’t trying to be funny. She’s upset, and that entertains him. His response to her not wanting to be hit is to think about how else he can hit her, and then he gets online to order more stuff to hit her with. I’m chopping out a bit. Stuff with Ana’s laundry and a text exchange with Elliott. Those American women James had check this book for Britishisms still should be fired. “The courier has been dispatched with the BlackBerry.” (Taylor said that.) Even if you speak very formally in America, no one talks like that here. Grey finally decides to let Ana know he’s forcing a phone on her. Charming. And then he gets on the phone about charitable giving. Since he gets his rocks off on how he can take it all back and hurt people, it really doesn’t make up for how much of an ass he is. Since no one in the Shadesverse actually works aside from poor people (and Ana is really rich because of reasons), Ana has time to write him…again. Your stalker tendencies are running wild. Why do you do this? What’s the most internet-trolliest of internet-troll responses? I do this because I can. And I do this because I can. That’s all. Just because. For the lolz. He gets a call from Secretary Andrea that his doctor highly recommends a gyno named Dr. Greene. His doctor should be fired for not immediately wondering why a man is wanting a gyno for a house-call to his own home. But no, his doc gave a name, and apparently she’s an expensive doctor, and apparently Andrea doesn’t realize her boss is rich, and apparently James doesn’t realize medical care in America is expensive because America is the only industrialized nation in the world that still sees health care as a privilege that the typical American can pay $8,000 in one year for so that any medical costs over another $6,000 will be half covered. And this, my dear non-Americans, is an improvement. So a shady doctor making a house-call on a SUNDAY is expensive? Boo…hoo…. He briefly thinks about calling his mom, who he’s referring to by her first name, to check on Dr Greene’s credentials since they work at the same hospital, but Gracie-poo might question. Uh, you think? For the first time, her son has a woman over that she knows about, and now a gyno is dropping by? If you want to check the credentials of a doctor in Washington, there’s a website for that. He sends Ana an email telling her she’s seeing the doctor on Sunday, gets in his car, and passes “the exit for Vancouver.” I think I addressed that…. Yes, in this post. There thirteen exits for Vancouver. He breaks the law by picking up his phone and using it to call Andrea. We’ve had hands-free laws for a while, and now they extend to not even looking at cell phones, even when at red lights. Not feasible for those of us who use GPS on them. I don’t understand why he calls her to specify the wine and a balloon he wants sent to Ana and Kate for their move instead of just calling and placing an order himself. He actually says “thank you” to Andrea, and he tells is she sounds surprised when she says “you’re welcome.” That’s a good sign you’re not showing gratitude often enough. My five-year-old understands that. By the time he’s home and getting dressed, he’s called Ana a couple times, and is mad at her. She had no excuse to not call him, you know! He calls again and leaves a message ordering her to call him. It’s 6:30, and no one is EVER late getting off work. Nope. And traffic doesn’t happen around here…. NEWS FLASH: Getting over the Interstate Bridge is HELL during rush hour. When my daughter was in typical school last year, I did it FIVE days a week, and I only came from exist 307 (the next exist is 308, then the bridge). That pretty short drive still took an hour on some days, occasionally more. The area that best describes where Ana works would be over on Sandy, and would include a drive along a dull road to get to the interstate. If she got off at 5 on the dot, it is believable that she wouldn’t get home until 7pm on a Friday night. And when she gets home, maybe she’d want to eat, or take a shower, or just relax for a few minutes since she IS moving, you know. And not everyone lives with their phones attached to them! I personally make liberal use of Find My iPhone because I don’t care to be leashed. Ana has reasons for not calling yet, but Grey doesn’t care that she has a life of her own. He wants it. He wants to take her life. In more ways that one, I’m afraid. Oh goody goody gumdrops. Oh. I swear I didn’t realize that existed until looking for a “goody goody gumdrops” sarcastic meme. It’s an ice cream treat in New Zealand. Also appropriate that it’s food because… Grey’s at a charity event to raise awareness of global poverty. We aren’t aware it exists! Goody goody gumdrops on him! He’s there with his banker, Whelan, but since Grey is a magnet, Whelan’s wife’s silicone boobs are gravitating toward him. I’m not making that up, folks. Five pages left…I can make it through fine more…. He’s praised for the check he wrote, and he even says he’s patronizing in his “it’s for a good cause” response. Yeah, it’s a tax write-off and a chance to make business connections. The check was basically admission to the rich people’s party. Money from people like you, my readers, and me isn’t welcome since we’re too poor to pay to play in the playground of the rich. The good cause is them patting themselves on their backs. No, ordering their servants to pat. Ooh! Second Leonardo Dicaprio pic today! Even though only the back of his head is visible here. I replicated that gown Rose is wearing for $8k. Welcome to my day job. He calls, and calls, and calls Ana, and gets pissed. Oh! OH!!! Grey is like Cal! YES!! In the next installment of this mess, I might call Grey by Cal’s name. They’re twins in behavior and everything! Okay, under normal circumstances, like people who are genuinely friends or in a genuine relationship, this is reason to get pissed or worried. But Ana told him via email to back the hell off. When I was in the dating scene, this is known as a brush-off. You lick your wounds and get over it, and fire up the computer to find another date. Grey ditches the party and goes home and starts his computer. A part of me dies every time James references a Mac product in this book. He sends her an email to call him or else he’ll call Elliott. And what? Tell Elliott to beat her? Just call Elliott right now, make sure everything’s okay, and call it a night. He laments having volunteered to pick his sister up from the airport. He could have been helping Ana move. Didn’t he said earlier on that he doesn’t do stuff like that, and then Mia coming home came up? I think so. Anyone want to check for me? Please? My brain is hurting from typing this up. I can’t go look. I’d cry. I’m two pages from finished now. I wander around my apartment, my footsteps echoing through the living room, and it seems achingly empty since I was last here. I undo my bow tie. Perhaps it’s me that’s empty. I would call that the most self-aware he’s ever been, but it’s just borrowed angst. Ana calls, and he has to “rein in [his] temper.” Guess what. She was having dinner! She’s strangely clingy on him. It reminds me uncomfortably about clinging to my own abuser. If I knew what he was up to, there was less time for him to plan to hurt me. The conversation is pointless. It was that, followed by a page and a half of “you have up first,” “no, YOU hang up first!” Literally. Good Goddess, this is record-breaking-sales writing. After Ana finally hangs up because she was ordered to, Grey downs some brandy, and heads to bed. YAY! I’m going to go nom something in a moment, but just have to point out that it’s bad writing to end so many chapters with people going to get. Chapters-endings should make us want to turn the page and keep reading, not make us want to go to bed. And now I’m finished with this day, and the following day is just nine pages. I can do that. I can, I CAN!

I was isolated from pop culture to an extreme degree until age 19, and as an adult I don't listen to the radio and have never watched cable tv. So the vast majority of cultural references I don't get, and these memes make me feel laughed at. These memes also make me think about people who are more literal than me, who would find this just confusing and frustrating, and people who are even less exposed to U.S. popular culture than I am, and people who can't recognize faces. It just bothers me and I'm ready for it to be done. Edit: this is one format of the meme: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/gonna-tell-my-kids
Just days before he’s sworn in as president, Donald Trump is facing a potential crisis amid reports that U.S. intelligence officials briefed the president-elect last week on allegations that Russia could have compromising information about him. Although the details of these revelations remain murky and unverified, their publication Tuesday night, on the eve of Trump’s first news conference since July, is upsetting any post-election honeymoon and forcing him to confront what is, at best, an uncomfortable public relations fiasco and potentially a new geopolitical pressure point that could cast a shadow on his incoming administration. Trump, his team, and Russia are mounting a vigorous defense, blaming political opponents for what they’re calling “fake news.” The president-elect escalated the rhetoric Wednesday morning, accusing intelligence agencies of allowing the leaks and suggesting the behavior is more akin to “Nazi Germany.” More than two hours after the news first broke Tuesday night, Trump started pushing back on Twitter. “FAKE NEWS - A TOTAL POLITICAL WITCH HUNT,” Trump tweeted, as his aides also fanned out on Twitter to call the reports baseless. The Kremlin also backed Trump's dismissal, using much of the same language on Wednesday, including that the furor is largely a "witch hunt." “This is a clear attempt to damage our bilateral relations,” Russian government spokesman Dmitry Peskov said. “Truly, there are those who whip up this hysteria, who will break their necks to support this ‘witch hunt.’” He added that the unverified intelligence reportedly delivered to both President Barack Obama and Trump on the Kremlin’s intelligence practices and its allegedly damaging material on Trump is an “absolute fabrication.” After Peskov's statements, Trump continued his defense on Wednesday morning, tweeting, "Russia just said the unverified report paid for by political opponents is 'A COMPLETE AND TOTAL FABRICATION, UTTER NONSENSE.' Very unfair!" He added three more tweets: "Russia has never tried to use leverage over me. I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH RUSSIA - NO DEALS, NO LOANS, NO NOTHING!" "I win an election easily, a great 'movement' is verified, and crooked opponents try to belittle our victory with FAKE NEWS. A sorry state!" "Intelligence agencies should never have allowed this fake news to 'leak' into the public. One last shot at me.Are we living in Nazi Germany?" Over the past week, Trump has criticized leaks about assessments from U.S. intelligence agencies. He had previously dismissed the FBI's, Director of National Intelligence's and CIA’s focus on Russia’s election meddling as a “witch hunt” and had been publicly skeptical of the report’s conclusion that Russian President Vladimir Putin directed an influence campaign in order to benefit the Republican nominee last year, unwilling to give credence to anything that might cast doubt on the legitimacy of his victory. On Tuesday evening, multiple reports attributed to anonymous sources contended that the nation’s four top intelligence chiefs informed Obama and Trump of allegations that Russia had collected compromising and tawdry personal information about the president-elect. A two-page synopsis also included allegations of a running exchange of information during the campaign between Trump allies and Russian government intermediaries. After the first report surfaced, BuzzFeed published the longer, unverified document that formed the basis of the two-page synopsis to the official report, which had been classified, that details the kompromat — a Russian term for compromising material — in graphic terms. Sean Spicer, who will serve as Trump's White House press secretary, called BuzzFeed "pathetic" in a tweet Tuesday night, part of a coordinated pushback from allies inside and outside Trump Tower. Senior Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway was taping an interview on "Late Night with Seth Meyers" on Tuesday as the news broke and dismissed it as "unconfirmed" reports based on "unnamed sources." And she pushed back when Meyers asserted that Trump himself had been presented the classified information as part of his intelligence briefing last Friday. "He has said he is not aware of that," she said. Michael Cohen, the Trump Organization attorney who the unverified report alleges met with Russian government representatives in Prague, tweeted a photo of his passport Tuesday night with the caption: “I have never been to Prague in my life.” “The entire report is inaccurate," he told POLITICO. "I have never met with any Russian, Kremlin officials. I have never been to Russia. “It’s just another attempt to malign Mr. Trump, and I find it interesting how they released this information one day prior to Mr. Trump’s press conference," he continued. “No substantiation, no confirmation, rife with misspellings,” longtime informal Trump adviser Roger Stone told POLITICO about the memo detailing the allegations. “This is a bad joke.” “This is just a continuing meme. How long can we beat this horse before it becomes clear that there is a clear lack of any proof of any of these allegations?” Stone said. “And now they get more personal?” Stone himself has been in the middle of the Russia controversy after predicting over the summer that John Podesta, Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman, would face hard times in the fall. “Trust me, it will soon the [sic] Podesta's time in the barrel,” Stone tweeted in August. Stone had also said he had been in touch, through mutual acquaintances, with WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. In October, WikiLeaks released Podesta’s hacked emails, in a breach that American intelligence agencies believe was orchestrated by the Russian government. “I was told, as I’ve said 100 times, from a mutual friend that Assange had politically damaging material. Unspecified political dynamite. I was not told that he had hacked John Podesta’s emails,” Stone said on Tuesday. Carter Page, one of Trump’s foreign policy advisers who was named in the dossier published by BuzzFeed as an intermediary between the Trump camp and the Russians, called the memo “pathetic.” “Upon a 60 second quick skim of the document before my imminent flight overseas in a few minutes, I’ve already found so many laughable mistakes that I look forward to reading it for amusement,” Page wrote in an email overnight. “Very consistent with the past track record of similar innuendo stirrers, a.k.a. ‘Anonymous sources’.” Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr., late on Tuesday retweeted a message from WikiLeaks also dismissing the memo. “WikiLeaks has a 100% record of accurate authentication. We do not endorse Buzzfeed's publication of a document which is clearly bogus,” WikiLeaks wrote. Trump, who survived a devastating scandal a month before the election after a tape surfaced of him bragging about his celebrity enabling him to get away with grabbing women's genitals, has had remarkable success pushing past controversies that would have sunk more conventional politicians and in counterpunching his adversaries. But this situation is different — he's battling the nation's intelligence officers, not rival politicians. Now, it's not his campaign in turmoil but a nascent administration less than two weeks from inheriting the White House. And the stakes go beyond politics. With a matter of national security and geopolitical importance, Trump's uncanny ability to will his own, preferred alternative reality into being may meet its limits. “I have no idea with Trump. You used to be able to say, ‘I think I know how this ends.’ But there's no way to know now,” said Jon Reinish, a Democratic strategist. Neera Tanden, a longtime Clinton ally and the president of the Center for American Progress, said Tuesday evening the new allegations should be fully investigated. “The intelligence dossier presents profoundly disturbing allegations; ones that should shake every American to the core,” she said in a statement. The new charges risk inflaming bipartisan concerns about Trump’s talk of a new U.S.-Russian partnership. Shrugging off the worst tensions between the two countries since the Cold War, Trump has long asserted that the U.S. and Russia can “get along great.” Trump says the two countries can cooperate against Islamic terrorism, questions the value of the NATO alliance, and has said he would consider lifting U.S. sanctions on Russia. Trump has also praised Putin as a strong and savvy leader, saying he would bond with an authoritarian president widely seen as a villain in Western capitals. Those views buck both Democratic and Republican consensus — “somewhat out of the mainstream,” as Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Bob Corker described them on CNN earlier Tuesday. That has led some members of Congress and foreign policy experts to wonder whether Trump has an undisclosed motive for seeking Putin’s approval. The new allegations will provide fodder for critics hoping to block Trump’s planned realignment with Russia. The critics fear Trump could grant Moscow a freer hand in Syria, recognize Putin’s March 2014 annexation of Crimea, lift U.S. sanctions, and even call for a reduced NATO presence in Eastern Europe. At a minimum, they are likely to make for uncomfortable moments at Wednesday’s confirmation hearing for Trump’s nominee to be secretary of state, Rex Tillerson. Several Russia hawks from both parties on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee were already primed to grill Tillerson on his own relationship with Putin — with whom he struck massive energy deals as CEO of ExxonMobil — as well as Trump’s plans for U.S.-Russia policy. While the allegations were being characterized as a bombshell, former Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid telegraphed knowledge of the memo before the election in a letter dated Oct. 30 to FBI Director James Comey. Reid wrote, “In my communications with you and other top officials in the national security community, it has become clear that you possess explosive information about close ties and coordination between Donald Trump, his top advisors, and the Russian government — a foreign interest openly hostile to the United States.” Adam Jentleson, who served as a top Reid aide, tweeted on Tuesday night, in all-capital letters, “THIS IS WHAT HARRY REID WAS REFERRING TO.” Jentleson later said in a statement, “Senator Reid's letters and statements speak for themselves.” While Sen. Jeff Sessions, Trump’s nominee for attorney general, was grinding through the first day of a long confirmation hearing, lawmakers in another hearing room were questioning Comey. Asked by Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) if his agency was currently investigating any possible contact between Trump’s campaign and Russian officials, Comey demurred, saying he couldn’t comment on the nature of any current investigations. Hours later, the reports detailing the addendum to the official report revealed allegations of an ongoing exchange of information during the campaign between Trump surrogates and intermediaries for the Russian government. Louis Nelson contributed to this report.
The fiery feud between top 10-ranked PGA players Brooks Koepka and Bryson DeChambeau has moved from the golf green to internet memes, and Paige Spiranac is getting in on the action. ESPN reported on the cheeky social media banter following the announcement that Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback and Phil Mickelson would be taking on DeChambeau and Green Bay Packers quarterback Aarond Rodgers on July 6 in "The Match." "Sorry bro @AaronRodgers12," Koepka tweeted as an apparent dig at Rodgers' teammate, who responded directly with a barb of his own. "@BKoepka It's nice to be living rent free in your head!" DeChambeau fired back. Brady then entered the fray by creating a meme based on leaked viral video in which Koepka rolled his eyes at a passing DeChambeau and began swearing as he lost his train of thought during a post-round interview at the PGA Championship. DeChambeau didn't hesitate to go after the seven-time Super Bowl champ, either. He tweeted an image of Brady clutching an airless pigskin and the caption, "@TomBrady, once @AaronRodgers12 and I take down you and @PhilMickelson, you will feel just as deflated as those balls were in the AFC Championship game." Spiranac showed support for Brady and Mickelson. The "OG Insta golf girl" declared the 43-year-old NFL star the GOAT for penning the meme and created one of her own depicting Koepka kissing a frustrated DeChambeau. "When the PIP check comes in," Spiranac tweeted to her 441,000 followers in reference to the PGA's Player Impact Program. To be fair, Spiranac is a DeChambeau fan, too. She heralded the buff golfer's monster drive at the this year's Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay, Hill Florida in March.

Well, 9gag has pretty much nailed the endless scroll meme-filled place down. So, we made one of our own, added in a bunch of memes, some history ones ’cause we like to educate you as well, some wonderful mythology stories, some interesting videos, articles, and even some mythography in art both old and modern. All in all, it’s a place where we can dump anything we like around our interests. What we have done is we’ve expanded into a lot of translations. They’re not even all listed there, you can find them on Amazon mostly. Expect a steady flow of translations in Spanish and German since those seem to get a bit of traction. https://mythographystudios.com/translations/ For audiobooks, it has been a wonky year. We’re ditching Audible exclusivity for any and all newer titles, so they’re not confined there. This doesn’t change anything for Audible listeners, it just becomes more accessible to people listening from other sources. We’ve added Bandcamp, which we love, and Bookfunnel delivery for our store sales. You can find all the audiobooks on this constantly-updated page https://mythographystudios.com/audiobooks/ Since we mentioned the Mythography Shop, there’s been more content in there than ever. You can shop directly from us and we’ll give you tribute points you can exchange for a discount at your next order, just because you’re awesome. https://mythographystudios.com/introducing-tribute-points/ The Mythographers have grown to… *checks notes* 71 thousand!

The overwhelming response shows us that we were right, and we’re finding new ways to tell a story that you’d enjoy. There will be a few visual novels in the future, maybe? We’re not sure yet, but it’s on the table. During the past year we’ve become possibly the most technologically advanced entertainment studio in Greece. Instead of fearing new technology, we’ve embraced it whenever and wherever it was possible. We’re utilising AI and machine learning tools inside all steps of the creation process to bring you stories at a rate never seen before.

Just like the practice of old, we’ve resurrected the model into a digital mold, more fitting to the age. Micropatronage, having a bunch of regular people pitching in small amounts instead of one wealthy patron, is being successful with plenty of examples. What I had was a PILE of story ideas sitting on my projects folder. Some have merit, some are simply the butt of a joke. Others are pretty damn brilliant, I might say. I took all that and decided to squeeze out at least one short story per month. That way, I can see the works-in-progress slowly thinning down, I can test them with real people and real readers, and see which one’s a winner and which one’s a dud. I’ve been doing that already with the Epic Poets, but to be honest, I firmly believe in putting one’s money where one’s mouth is. Feedback from fans is excellent, but feedback from people who have paid a dollar carries much more weight. Also, I have plenty of ideas that fall into fantasy or urban fantasy. At some point, as I burn through the sci-fi ones, I’ll eventually work on those too. Having patrons will provide a steady and verifiable metric that my output will be worth the time invested. I’m bound to change a lot of this on my Patreon page, I just threw one up quickly. There’s a short story waiting for you right now, called “Life Coach.” So, click the orange button to get a steady flow of speculative fiction short stories. I’m your story-dealer. Be patronizing. Or just share the post with your friends. This group is currently beta. Meaning things are about to change at any time. So what can you do over there? Well, except talk about the God Complex books, we can discuss articles, favorite mythologies, movies like Wonder Woman and Thor, books like Ilium and Percy Jackson, anything you like. Keep it civil, but light swearing is allowed.
Posted on Friday, August 20th, 2021 by The very first image we see in Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar is a bookshelf with a toy space shuttle on it. There are dust motes in the air, like you might see in the light of an old movie projector, only these aren’t from simple house dust. They’re from a dust storm. Interstellar made its original theatrical run back in late 2014 when lead actor Matthew McConaughey was enjoying a career resurgence, colloquially known as the “McConaissance.” By now, it’s one of those movie titles that could be gathering dust on the shelves of some people’s interdimensional Blu-ray libraries. If you’re a Nolanite, however, you’ve likely revisited this film more than once, and if you’re streaming it for the first time, the ending may have left you scratching your head. And it’s been long enough for us to really dig into it. Follow us through the movie wormhole as we take a trip back into Nolan’s science-fiction epic and explore its ending. Naturally, full spoilers for Interstellar follow. Simply put, Christopher Nolan owned the movie landscape. He has an impressive filmography overall, but going by the , Interstellar was his worst-reviewed film until Tenet came along with its wacky time inversion. The movie has its defenders, and we ourselves expressed that this is Nolan’s best, or at least among his best. It’s no secret that, as a filmmaker, he’s rather preoccupied with time. The question here is, has time been kind to Interstellar? Mann’s Planet is Full of Revelations Nolan takes a cue from Commissioner Gordon in The Dark Knight in that he likes to “play things pretty close to the chest.” You won’t see Matt Damon‘s name advertised in any of the old postersfor Interstellar; and to this day, some people going into the movie for the first time might not be aware that Damon is in it. He’s a big-name star, yet Nolan is coy about showing his face. Early in the movie, he does show us the framed photos of some of the other astronauts who went out seeking inhabitable worlds along with Damon’s character, the rather bluntly named Mann. However, the camera jumps back to a full shot of the NASA conference room, cutting away from the close-ups of pictures on the wall — before we can see Mann’s face. Nolan withholds the Damon reveal until McConaughey’s character, Coop, gets to Mann’s planet, with its frozen clouds and icy secrets. Then, we see Matt and Matthew embrace in a sloppy man-hug as if they’re reconciling after all those times that Damon impersonated McConaughey on late-night talk shows, publicly mocking his tendency to appear shirtless in romcoms and other pre-McConaissance flicks. Next thing you know, Damon/Mann himself is shirtless under a tinfoil tarp, which only deepens the layer of metatextual humor. Brand (Anne Hathaway) gets an interstellar video message from Murph (Jessica Chastain), and this bursts everyone’s bubble because it turns out saving the world was never an option. Plan A was a sham. Mann, Brand, and the doomed Romilly (David Gyasi) realize they were never meant to make it back to Earth. NASA just wanted them to enact Plan B and colonize the stars. The reason that Professor Brand — played by Nolan’s good luck charm, Michael Caine — misled them with hopes of Earth’s salvation was that he needed them to show God-level empathy and “work together to save the species instead of themselves” and their loved ones. Romilly already aged 23 years while Mann and Brand were down on that other watery planet, with its ticking time bomb score by Hans Zimmer and its ginormous waves: the size of mountains, you understand,. Brand starts weeping about, “The lie. That monstrous lie,” and this is one example of how the dialogue does occasionally creak in Nolan’s screenplay, which he co-wrote with his brother, Jonathan Nolan. The other big revelation down on Mann’s planet comes when Mann decides to go all Cain and Abel on Coop and kill him. It turns out he faked all the data he was transmitting so NASA would think his planet was habitable and come and rescue him. Otherwise, he’d be left to die alone in space. He says, “The truth is, I never really considered the possibility that my planet wasn’t the one.” Less than a year after Interstellar, we’d meet another Space Damon who would “have to science the s**t” out of a similar lonesome scenario in The Martian. This time, though, his character would be a little more well-adjusted to solitude than Mann. As it is, Mann leaves Coop to perish while talking him through his impending demise, the same way that TARS will talk us all through the plot in Interstellar‘s zany third act. Ground Control to Major Nolan Let’s back up a second. While Coop and Mann are wrasslin’ in space, something else is happening far across the universe. Casey Affleck punches Topher Grace, mostly because Nolan likes cross-cutting. Jeeps now make dramatic U-turns, cutting through cornfields. To paraphrase Batman’s butler, “Some [women] just want to watch the [crops] burn.” Putting some distance between himself and Coop (alas, no funeral homily for Romilly), Mann, whose name flags him as a symbol for “all mankind,” attempts docking his stolen lander on the Endurance spacecraft above his frozen tundra planet. Yet sneaky, distrustful TARS, the sarcastic robot with adjustable humor and honesty settings, has disabled the autopilot. Brand keeps calling for Damon’s doctor-man fella over the intercom. “Dr. Mann, please respond.” But it’s to no avail. Nolan uses sound — quiet, then loud! — to give us a jump scare as the airlock depressurizes and blows, abruptly killing Mann and causing the Endurance to spin wildly out of control (like the movie soon will, you might be thinking). Coop and Brand, hot on the dead Mann’s tail in another lander, try to match the Endurance’s fearsome spin. TARS or someone says, “It’s not possible.” No, sir, it’s “necessary,” because the script ordains it so. With a little help from his robot friends, Coop thereby achieves a nigh-impossible docking procedure. Before long, he says sayonara to Brand and flies his own separate shuttle away from her, into a black hole named Gargantua. Now comes the moment where the movie ejects itself pell-mell, through the person of Coop, into a literal black hole of its own device. For some viewers, Interstellar might never recover after Coop’s trip to the space library. This is where we learn that Coop is Murph’s mysterious ghost, and has been all along because, you know, gravity, and because, well, love. The plot takes a big overall turn into take-it-or-leave-it territory. Either you roll with it, or this is where the movie might nuke the fridge and become an epic fail for you. One thing that needs to be said about Interstellar’s climactic Ghost Dad reveal, regardless of whether it works for the viewer on an emotional or intellectual level (we know it appeals to the former at the expense of the latter), is that Nolan telegraphs it from the very beginning. He lays the pipeline for the film’s whole ending in its opening minutes. Structurally, you can’t fault him for that as a storyteller. Quick trip back to the beginning. Ellen Barkin, who embodies the oldest version of Coop’s daughter, Murph, is the first talking head we see onscreen in Interstellar. The movie rapidly abandons its faux-documentary conceit, but it’s even speedier about introducing the mystery of Murph’s ghost, which seems to communicate in Morse, nay, binary code. Naturally, it’s a gravitational anomaly that wants to relay the coordinates of a secret space-faring facility, where her dad will be interrogated by a walking computer cabinet. But the young Murph (Mackenzie Foy) doesn’t know this yet. Sitting across from an equally young Timothée Chalamet at the breakfast table, she imparts the knowledge that the ghost has broken her space lander and it keeps knocking books off her shelf. She even guesses the ghost’s identity — quite correctly — at one point when she says, “Dad? I thought you were the ghost.” He was. It’s true. Which of you smart cookies figured it out beforehand? All along the way, Nolan sprinkles in these little bread crumbs about who the ghost is, who sent Coop to that facility, who chose him for this world-saving mission, who put that space-time disturbance out near Saturn. It always leaves that question of, “Who are they?” dangling. Behold, the Movie Gods! Wait, Where Are They? “A wormhole’s not a naturally occurring phenomenon. Someone placed it there.” “Whoever they are, they appear to be looking out for us” “It came along right as we needed it.” “They’ve put potentially habitable worlds right within our reach.” Lines like these have a certain self-aware ring to them, almost as if we, the audience, have caught Interstellar red-handed in rationalizing its own convenient plot maneuvers. Someone did this, you see. Someone, the movie gods, put that wormhole there and built that library. “Somewhere in their fifth dimension, they saved us.” “Who the hell are they? And just why would they want to help us?” “They constructed this three-dimensional space inside their five-dimensional reality to allow you to understand it.” Again, someone, the movie gods, did these things, the dialogue tells us. They’re playing five-dimensional chess with you and they want you to understand them. The problem is, we never meet the movie gods, not like Jodie Foster does with David Morse on the space beach in Contact (a clear influence on Interstellar; two others would be 2001: A Space Odyssey and Steven Soderbergh’s Solaris remake, the latter of which had the alacrity to quote Dylan Thomas in space first). Contrary to what Interstellar itself says, the movie gods in it are not future humans, some unseen “civilization that’s evolved past the four dimensions we know.” No, the movie gods here are the screenwriters. They’re, not in most cases in Hollywood … unless of course, one or more of them happen to be directing the movie as well. Checks notes. Interstellar: directed by Christopher Nolan. Confirmed. Murph says her ghost felt like a person who was trying to tell her something. “Tell” is the operative word. Interstellar shows so much, but it also tells too much. It suckers you into believing it’s going to be a show-me movie yet ends as more of a typical tell-me movie. Blame the time slippage. In Interstellar’s third act, the Nolan brothers’ script bends over backward to explain itself. Back in the library with Coop (it’s out of this world and will bend your mind like that folding cityscape in Inception), TARS radios in out of nowhere just to be helpful and explain what’s happening to Coop and us. Together, Coop and TARS litigate and re-litigate the plot the way the at-home audience might still want to do after watching Interstellar. Coops argues: “That ain’t working.” The disembodied voice of TARS, on behalf of the Nolans, bites back defiantly: “Yes, it is.” Love, TARS, Love You know the words to this stretch of dialogue. Sing it: “I’m going to find a way.” “Love, TARS. Love.” Lines like that are surreal and obviously meme-worthy. Coop works out that gravity can cross dimensions, including time, and TARS contributes, “Apparently,” as if to throw up his non-existent hands and say, “Whelp!” “Do you have the quantum data?” “Roger, I have it.” “I am transmitting it on all wavelengths but nothing is getting out, Cooper.” “I can do this. I can do this.” “But such complicated data to a child?” “Not just any child.” The audience is the child, you understand. Not young Murph. The audience. We are children, we are putty, in the hands of these fifth-dimensional movie gods. “They have access to infinite time and space, but they’re not bound by anything.” Including our feeble logic as audience members, whose disbelief has — at this point in Interstellar — unsuspended itself and gone floating over to the skeptic’s corner like an astronaut in zero-G. To be fair, that’s not Murph’s experience at all. She turns giddy as Coop communicates with her from the great beyond, courtesy of the force of gravity. Back on Earth, she writes out the secrets of the universe on a notepad and on a chalkboard. Then, she shouts, “Eureka,” and tosses her papers. Then, she shrugs, says, “It’s traditional,” and kisses Topher Grace, smack dab on the lips. Because, yes, that is the traditional thing to do in a Hollywood movie at a moment of supremely satisfying narrative climax like this. Read back over it yourself — speak it aloud, if you must — and you may soon find that the dialogue in Interstellar plays like the Nolans in conversation with themselves as self-styled movie magicians and with you as a paying customer of theirs. TARS tells us, “The bulk beings are closing the tesseract,” which somehow leaves Coop sling-shotting back to Saturn. Coop then wakes aboard a space station and, sure enough, the doctor informs him that he’s on Cooper Station, currently orbiting Saturn. The station is named after his daughter, not him, you big silly. It sports his original Earth house or a recreation of it. The house has become a museum with velvet ropes. Coop has a brief reunion with his elderly daughter, who is now on her deathbed, surrounded by the rest of his family tree, all strangers to him. Murph tells him, “No parent should have to watch their own child die.” Especially not when the child is now older than the parent. This sends Coop out, looking for something to do, so he steals a shuttle and heads off into the sequel. Of course, there’s not really a sequel. That’s not Nolan’s thing outside Batman movies, but we can imagine one. And that’s how Nolan wants to leave the wowed audience for this Prestige-like magic show in space. Imagining. “Did it work?” “I think it might have.” Verdict: A Ghost of Greatness Unachieved Haunts Interstellar In its best moments, Interstellar has a majesty to it that dwarfs the peanut gallery and drowns out the dings of the Movie Sin Counter. The movie is undeniably a technical marvel, filled with beautiful images from the earthbound and space-roving lens of cinematographer Hoyte van Hoytema. Sure, even before we get to that third act with the space library, the script has a few hiccups along the way. Where it mostly falters is in the aforementioned dialogue department. The Nolan brothers write their women emotional. When Chastain first shows up as a middle-aged Murph, she acts irrationally resentful and it feels like forced conflict, more dunderheaded than Dunkirk-tight in terms of screenwriting. Shouldn’t Murph be just a teensy bit more understanding of why her dad left, given that the fate of the whole human race is on the line? That’s just one example, mind you. Another is when Brand, the seemingly level-headed scientist, suddenly starts talking about following her heart because love is “observable, powerful,” not just something we invented. Whatever you say, lady. We know it’s not really you talking. It’s two brothers named Nolan, using you as a mouthpiece for men’s dorm-room philosophizing. These speed bumps aside, Interstellar offers smooth solar-sailing for at least the first half, maybe the first three-quarters, of its running time. Then, it hits a patch of rough space turbulence and gets swallowed up by that black hole, Gargantua. What we’re dealing with here is a classic case of third-act problems. This is 75% of a good movie, which puts it right in the neighborhood of thatTomatometer score, a muted career-low for Nolan (again, until Tenet in 2020). By touting such a score — for lack of any better shorthand or consensus gathering — we’re definitely not trying to “rate a picture the way you’d rate a horse at the racetrack.” Martin Scorseseonce, and here in this neck of outer space, we’re inclined to respect our elder statesman of moviemaking. That includes Nolan, whose exemplary film career has been going for over two decades. Ultimately, Interstellar tugs at the heartstrings and flirts with greatness without necessarily achieving full liftoff. One earthbound scene in the movie has Coop’s father-in-law and Murph’s grandpa, Donald (John Lithgow), remarking on the deficiencies of the “World Famous New York Yankees.” It seems the ol’ ball team ain’t what it used to be on this future Earth, where all that’s left on the menu is fritters and corn souffle. “In my day, we had real ballplayers,” Donald bemoans. “Who are these bums?” Here’s a parting image for you. When you think of Interstellar, maybe it’s best to forget the unseen interdimensional movie gods and just see this one great movie moment: not the ending of Coop’s space adventure, but the ending of his Earth adventure. When he leaves our planet and his family with it, Coop does so in a memorable, heartbreaking fashion. As he drives away from his farm, McConaughey sells the emotion of it like no one’s business. We really believe we’re witnessing a man tear himself away from his daughter, ignoring that one-word message: The music swells to a deafening volume and we skip straight to Coop rocketing up from Earth into the silence of space. “Once you’re a parent, you’re the ghost of your children’s future” And time is a precious resource: Interstellar teaches us that. It slips forever away and can’t run backward. Time, as conceptualized visually for the moviegoer, is an onscreen Hamilton wristwatch.It’s the son who’s left you years of messages, “drifting out there in the darkness” like unanswered prayers. Can you hear this prayer? As the years go on, maybe we’ll all be inclined to look back on Interstellar more kindly, forgiving its shortcomings, waxing nostalgic about Nolan as one of the “real” filmmakers we had in our day. Until then, space cadets, meet you in the movie library, where we’ll be browsing for other old titles to revisit … and in them, perhaps peeking at past versions of ourselves. Cool Posts From Around the Web:
I believe I’ve mentioned before that I’m a night owl and often stay up watching true crime shows on TV. Bill calls them ‘blood and guts shows.” He doesn’t like them much, so I generally watch those after he’s gone to bed. This past week I saw one about a woman whose major source of income was insurance fraud. She started out with arson schemes, with a history that included more than thirty fire-related claims for both residences and automobiles. When setting fires for fun and profit turned out to be small potatoes, she upped the ante and went into life insurance fraud. When her first husband was hospitalized with diabetes, she convinced his doctors that she was a nurse and they could release him to her for care at home. He was dead within weeks of his release from the hospital with his nurse/wife soon receiving a $35,000 pay off. Later, when her elderly mother became ill, the faux nurse again rode to the rescue with similar results, including another $35,000 face amount on an insurance policy for which said nurse was the sole beneficiary. Then, in the eighties, she and her second husband took in a recently divorced young woman who needed a temporary place to stay. A few months later, on a road trip through California, the young woman fell to her death from a cliff near Big Sur. When the medical examiner found evidence of a prescription sleep aid during the autopsy, he listed her cause of death as “undetermined.” Meanwhile, back home, when her mother was trying to collect on a long-held burial insurance policy, the company back home wasn’t paying due to the fact that there was still some question about the young woman’s cause of death. A family attorney became involved, and he helped spark an investigation that caused an insurance agent to come forward. It turns out that our fraudster nurse had purchased a $35,000 policy on the young woman, naming herself as beneficiary. A week after the policy was issued, she was back in the agent’s office explaining that the young woman was dead now and what was the process for starting an insurance claim? By that time, there were enough red flags to get the cops’ full attention. The killers claimed that the young woman was a drug addict who would take anything, and that was why there was evidence of a sleep medication in her system, but friends back home insisted she didn’t do drugs of any kind including aspirin. Once a document examiner got hold of the insurance policy application, it was clear the insured’s signature was a forgery. Both the husband and wife were eventually arrested for murder, but the husband died in jail prior to being brought to trial. The woman ended up being sentenced to life in prison. At the end of the program, during the wrap up, one of the detectives remarked, “I suppose having someone die the week after a life insurance policy goes into effect could happen, but it’s a lot like winning the lottery.” And that sparked a memory. During my career in the life insurance business, I was a district manager in Phoenix. One of my agents sold a $25,000 policy to a recently divorced young man who wanted the policy to benefit his two young children as opposed to his former wife who, according to him, had done him wrong. The client, we’ll call him James, was a member of the ironworker’s union, but he worked as what’s called a “rod-buster.” My first husband was an ironworker, so here’s a bit of vocabulary clarification that newspapers can never quite get right. They continually confuse steelworkers with ironworkers. Steelworkers are the folks who work in factories with furnaces that turn molten material into iron and steel. Ironworkers are the guys who can be seen walking on I-beams high in the air during the construction of skyscrapers. Rod-busters are the workers who put reinforcing bars (iron rods also known as rebar) into forms prior to the arrival of cement. They build things like highway overpasses and foundations. When James’s policy was issued, it came back with a very high rating added to the original premium. It turned out the underwriter had rated that policy as though James was one of the I-beam walking guys as opposed to a mostly ground based rod-buster. I took exception to the rating and eventually got it changed, but it took several months. By the time the policy came back, James had gotten a job building a canal for the Central Arizona Project and was living in a little town west of Phoenix called Salome. One day I was heading to Lake Havasu to interview a possible female agent. (Speaking of fraud, I did hire her but fired her a few months later when I discovered she had lied on her job application!) Since I was going that way anyway, my agent asked if I would mind stopping in Salome to deliver the policy to James, and I agreed to do so. My remembrance of Salome at the time is that it had a gas station, a restaurant, a motel, and a couple of houses. I went into the restaurant and asked the hostess is she could tell me where James lived, referring him by both his first and last names. Suddenly the whole restaurant went dead quiet. You really could hear a pin drop.. “Who are you?” she asked. I explained that I was a life insurance agent there to deliver his policy. That’s when she told me, that early in the morning, James had been killed while on his way to work. Driving in the dark, he had run into a wide load of unlit cement beams protruding on either side of a truck traveling in the opposite direction. So yes, within days of a life insurance policy being issued, the subject of said policy can indeed die. By the time that death claim was finally settled, I had transferred to Seattle, so I was no longer involved. I do hope those funds, a $25,000 face amount with another $25,000 accidental death benefit, made a difference in the lives of James’s two little boys. Which brings me to the second story of the day, and that concerns Gilbert F. Lawson. I’ve probably mentioned his name several times before. He was the agency manager in Phoenix who hired me to be a district manager. Gil’s favorite trick was to stand up in agency meetings and announce, “Know the score; keep the score; report the score. The score will improve.” I believe that saying is attributable to some long ago and very famous football coach, but when those words came out of Gil’s lips, I took them as the gospel. As a district manager, it was my job to keep track of both my progress and my agents’ progress. Once I left the insurance business and began writing, my way of keeping score on that is to count the words every day. By the way, as of this morning, I’m 7,775 words into the next Ali Reynolds book. Six years ago, when my doctor forced me to get off my butt and start walking, I did the same thing, keeping score by using the pedometer on my phone not only to keep track of my daily numbers but of the cumulative one as well. Remembering Gil Lawson’s admonition, I decided to report the score, and to whom did I report it? To my blog readers, of course. I figured that if I eased off on walking or quit, they would instantly call me on it, and since I’ve never wanted to be a quitter, I’ve kept going. This morning, I crossed the 13,000,000 step mark which adds up to 6,177 miles. That’s a lot of walking and several pairs of worn through Sketchers. Walking that many steps takes a lot of time—about two hours a day. Every day, Sundays and holidays included. No time off for good behavior. That many steps also add up to a round trip stroll from Seattle to Boston! One day someone sent me a meme that says, “Grandma started walking 10,000 steps a day. Now we have no idea where she is.” Maybe that’s why I stay close to home, doing my walking around the pool deck or in the front driveway or, if need me, even inside the house. (Walking in thick outdoor smoke isn’t a good idea!). I’m 76 years old. Walking on flat, even surfaces makes a lot more sense than hiking through rough terrain. As for you true crime aficionados? I recently saw a program where a husband claimed he had come home from work and found his wife dead, but her Fitbit told detectives exactly when she had died—hours earlier when the guy didn’t have an alibi. He ended up being convicted of murder which clearly shows that where Fitbits and fitness are concerned, crime doesn’t pay!

This is one meme which simply will not die. On a logical level it makes no sense; why does nearly everyone feel so strongly that the carousel should be a forgiving, enjoyable experience for women? But on another level it does make sense that this meme is so hard to destroy. This is an idea that I would argue nearly all of us hold or have held at one point in time. It is something unchallenged, planted there fairly recently by the prevailing culture. No doubt generations prior recall watching this meme being planted and fighting against it then. For the vast majority of people today including Christians, Christian leaders, and leaders of Christian leaders this is for all intents and purposes gospel. We need to face this; most of us either believe or have believed at some point that women have a right to enjoy their preferred path of promiscuity; anything which stands in the way of that path is nearly universally accepted as an injustice. The fundamental belief is universal, even if the manifestations of it vary. Many believe that women have the right to swing from marriage to marriage, so long as they can gin up a suitable pretext for divorce. Many others believe that women must be ensured the experience of swinging from monogamous LTR to monogamous LTR in their teens and early 20s, until they decide one of those LTRs should be converted into marriage and/or motherhood. Commenter PA felt so strongly about this that he argued women who were in danger of being denied the full experience to which they were entitled should resort to any measures required: I am around a lot of smart, attractive late 20s / early 30s girls who have long term boyfriends that to my best judgment are greater betas to lesser alphas, but no marriage or children on the horizon. Further, those girls are really wanting to get that ring and start a family. I talk to a few of them, and overhear conversations of others. The boyfriends won’t shit or get off the pot. And I want those girls to have children. Seriously, those girls ought to tell their boyfriends that she wants to start a family, and to give him a way out if he is unwilling; And if he doesn’t take the exit door, to just get herself pregnant with him. I’d rather those girls have out of wedlock children than no children at all, especially knowing that the boyfriends would come around to assuming the responsibility of fatherhood. It’s a tragedy that the “Knocked Up” movie is a model for girls who look like Katherine Heigl to not go extinct. He elaborated his fundamental argument further down in the comments section. It boiled down to an argument that the last in a series of boyfriends for these women had somehow stolen her youth and therefore must pay. Another manifestation of this view is that women should be able to have sex with men they don’t really even know and expect this to lead to marriage. We’ve seen this view in the outrage over Marcos’ con, and more recently over the claim by PMAFT that he is attending the Sunday Morning Nightclub (crass site warning). It isn’t just women making this argument. I’ve seen this argument made by fathers. One MRA commenter on the great game debate started by pointing out how he had been chewed up by women playing by the new rules of the sexual marketplace (SMP), but then fretted that his daughters might not get to fully enjoy their own promiscuity. And besides, what if women don’t approve? …I believe most mra’s at one point played the “game”as I once did. Then the game got old, I settled down with “the one”and when she got bored…I got burnt. I get to burn for another 8 years or so before those flames with burn out… Having three daughters who are entering the dating years also scares me on the affects that pua’s will have on how they view men in the future. On that angle alone, I would tend to argue that pua’s do not help the mra’s……. what do they say about a woman scorned ? Commenter Escoffier (after offering some excellent advice to women to stay off the carousel entirely) criticized Roosh at Hooking Up Smart for giving brotherly advice to his sister (and women in general) to avoid the worst parts of the carousel yet not working to make the carousel a kinder, gentler, more rewarding experience for women: There’s something skeevy about all these game guys who nail anything they can but who would naturally feel very protective of their own sisters or daughters. Ideally, I’d like to channel that protectiveness into better behavior on their part, a la Kant’s Categorical Imperative (a concept I otherwise have no use for). But for now, that’s clearly a pipe dream, although it was part of the old order. Roosh at least is not a hypocrite. He knows what he’s doing and he tries to protect his own from it. It’s better than nothing and the implicit recognition that all this is very, very wrong is mildly encouraging. I should clarify that I’m not making a moral justification for pickup artists. What I’m saying is they are on the same moral plane as the women who are having sex with them. Serial monogamy for women is no more or less morally justified than a pickup artist pumping and dumping and/or having a harem. Just as important, nothing I can say or do will ever make the carousel a safe place. Part of what makes alphas so attractive to these women is that they are rule breakers. Normal men with self control seem meek to these women because they aren’t in control of themselves. The most bizarre part of all of this is while nearly all of us either do or have at some time taken the preferred form of promiscuity as a right owed to all women, there is no historical precedent to this in western civilization which I’m aware of. When besides now and maybe one or two generations back have women been generally free to have sex with one or more boyfriends before deciding one of them should marry her? Likewise when except in recent history have married women been able to expect to divorce when not haaaapy and marry another man? I’m not saying promiscuity never happened in the past, but today nearly everyone sees this as a divine right of women which needs to be protected at all costs. When in the past was this even a significant minority belief in the western world?
Boban Marjanovic’s effectiveness on the court may dwindle, but his status as an NBA fan-favorite is strong. His 7-foot-4 frame is a source of fascination for many fans. Recently, the center gave a glimpse of what life is like. Marjanovic’s eating habits are much more similar to “normal” people than you may think. Boban Marjanovic became a fan-favorite the minute he stepped on the court Boban Marjanovic didn’t join the NBA as a novelty. He has some real bonafide on the basketball court. He was the center on the All-EuroLeague First Team in 2015, a three-time Super League MVP in his home country of Serbia, and won championships in Serbia and Lithuania. Marjanovic earned his way into the best basketball league on the planet. Once he got here, he became a walking meme almost instantly. The center’s proportions just didn’t make any sense. Marjanovic made the assorted NBA giants look like children. Pictures of him holding things instantly went viral. Marjanovic leaned into the jokes and created a brand that gave him more fame and money off the court, most famously when he had the pleasure of being brutally murdered by Keanu Reeves (another internet favorite) in the first scene of John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum. He’s still an NBA player, but Marjanovic tends to ride the pine these days Marjanovic hasn’t stuck in the league just because of his popularity. He’s an efficient low post scorer, has decent range on his jumper, and provides decent rim protection on account of being a giant. But the modern NBA is only moving away from players like him, and his playing time has suffered as a result. The league prioritizes pace and versatility more and more by the year, to the point that the Houston Rockets can play without a center in their rotation and not lose a step. The list of teams that Marjanovic simply can’t play against is only getting bigger. His size advantage doesn’t mean much if he’s not mobile enough to keep up on defense. He’s in a similar quandary on offense too. Low post scoring isn’t valued by much. While Marjanovic can stretch the floor some, he’s only taken 16 three-pointers all year. He’s barely played since the Dallas Mavericks entered the bubble, and it’s not like Luka Doncic has missed him very much. Marjanovic is only 32, but his time as a relevant NBA player is nearly over. How does a 7-foot-4, 290-pound athlete fuel his body? Despite his lack of playing time, Marjanovic still fascinates people. Most of us can’t imagine what it’s like to exist in the world as a man of his size. Marjanovic gave GQ the details on how he eats to maintain to stay in basketball shape. It turns out the most important food for him soup: “Every day I eat some soup. This is part of our culture — our mommies and grammies make it, and at any restaurant in Serbia, you can go in and find some soup. There might be minestrone, butternut squash, chicken noodle soup, tomato soup, mushroom soup, lamb soup. Whatever you can find, you can make a soup with that. I’m a big soup guy. Every meal I want to start with soup. I just finished my soup five minutes ago! It’s funny how everybody is surprised by that, but this is how most Serbians eat.” As much as he loves soup, no meal is complete without something sweet: “I cannot finish a meal if I do not have a good dessert. But when I say good, I mean it has to be really good. And it’s usually small stuff — a piece of candy, crepes, some apple cobbler. No cake. I don’t like cakes. Everything else I can eat, but not cakes.” “I do like a lot of dark chocolate.” Cake slander aside, we can all agree on the merits of a good dessert, regardless of how big or small you are.
Welcome back to Behind Closed Ovens, where we take a look at the best and strangest stories from inside the food industry. This week, we bring you the best BCO submissions of 2015.

Starting next Monday, November 30, the series will continue on Wonkette. If you’d like to read more crazy restaurant stories in the future, feel free to tune in over there at your regularly-scheduled BCO day and time. 30. Liza Cartwright: One morning my partner and I went out for an early lunch (okay, maybe it was brunch) at a local diner franchise. The restaurant’s menu had always been standard diner food: lots of grease and eggs and french fries. However, they were in the midst of phasing in a new menu with “local fare” and “healthy options”, things like bison burgers made from grass fed bison and whole grain buns. We had mostly picked the restaurant because we could hear ourselves think, but it was nice to have a food option other than “grease and carbs with a side of extra grease.” We had just been seated when a trio of older people were seated at the table next to us. Immediately, one of the men started complaining about the new menu. Apparently, when he goes out to eat he always orders one thing, which is a shrimp cocktail. The new menu did not have a shrimp cocktail. That meal, all we heard about was fucking shrimp cocktails, and also cocktail sauce. First, he complained to his fellow diners about the lack of shrimp cocktails and the new menu. Then, he complained to the wait staff and the manager. Apparently not enough people ordered the shrimp cocktail to keep it on the menu (why did the manager tell him this as a reason, why?), which was inconceivable to the dude who apparently lives for shrimp cocktails. Finally, when they told him that they did not have the ingredients to make a shrimp cocktail (even if they had the time), he decided to order fish and chips because at least it was still fish. However, he still wanted cocktail sauce. Both the server and the manager explained to him that since the restaurant no longer served shrimp cocktails, they did not have cocktail sauce. I think it took about ten minutes of them repeating this for him to believe that they did not have a hidden bottle of cocktail sauce in their kitchen, hoarded for the end of days. Then, he wanted the kitchen to make cocktail sauce especially for his meal. He even offered to teach them how to make cocktail sauce, which he said was quite easy. He kept repeating the recipe and they kept interrupting him to tell him that is not how restaurants work. Apparently, cocktail sauce is really his thing, since he has taught chefs in other restaurants how to make cocktail sauce and they were very grateful! At a restaurant in Chicago, and maybe some other places too. I was trying to tune him out. Honestly, I felt like an angry Bubba from Forrest Gump was sitting at the next table, and every other phrase from his mouth was “cocktail sauce” instead of “shrimp.” When his fish and chips came, I think he ate about two bites and pushed it away because it would have been better with cocktail sauce, and also shrimp cocktail is apparently the best damn meal on the planet. He told the staff they should change the menu back, because no one was going to want to order bison burgers when they could have had shrimp cocktail or at least cocktail sauce (which is very easy to make, did you know that? Now everyone knows that!). I wanted to stab my eardrums with a fork to make it stop. My partner and I left a really nice tip, and also filled out the comment card on the table saying we really liked the new menu and would be coming more often because of it. We also complimented the server and the rest of the staff, in case he wrote something nasty about them that left some kind of black mark on their record with corporate. Being half-British myself, I think if pushed I could probably be equally annoying about tea if presented with a bag of Lipton’s and lukewarm water in a styrofoam cup during a tea emergency.* Fortunately, I know that US tea is not up to my expectations, so I try not to put myself in a situation where I will go on a tea rant to someone just trying to get through their shift. * Tea emergencies can include but are not limited to: something bad happened; something good happened; something might happen soon but I’m waiting to see; it is the afternoon; it is the morning; something reminded me of tea; there is a social gathering that requires tea. This is a good story, but if we’re being honest, it snuck in here based on the strength of that footnote, which is one of the better paragraphs anyone has sent me in my time curating BCO. 29. Kinja user applejuice: As a student, I occasionally helped out as server at a small, family-owned restaurant (it wasn’t my regular job). On one occasion I was beckoned over by an elderly lady (imagine Driving Miss Daisy) who said there was a mess under her table I needed to ‘see to’. I knew it was clean before she sat down, but I smiled and looked underneath and saw about 15 perfect yellow rose petals underneath. I smiled, probably made small talk, cleaned it up and then buzzed off to refill drinks. Two minutes later she called me over again and said I had missed some of the mess, this time there were several pink rose petals carefully spread equidistant under the table. The first time I thought maybe someone had a bouquet that had fallen or something but this time it was clear this lady was spreading flower petals on the ground JUST FOR ME TO CLEAN UP! The third time the petals were red and the fourth white. I never accused her or anything (I was just there helping a friend and didn’t want to make to trouble) but just smiled and cleaned them up. At the end of her meal she gave me a very condescending “good job dear” and a lousy 50 cent tip. After that, the owner kept calling me and saying an elderly lady was requesting me, saying I was clearly smarter than the ‘normal sort’ he had (because I could clean up rose petals?) and could I work regularly? I declined the kind offer and kept my office job. I could smile through that as a one-off, but no way could I deal with stuff like that all the time. Man, you guys loved this story way more than I expected. To be fair, it does win points for being some of the strangest customer behavior of which I’ve ever heard. 28. Norman Minear: I work in a diner-style restaurant very similar to Denny’s or IHOP. I’ve dealt with my share of idiotic, unnecessarily needy, and downright annoying tables that will complain about anything and everything possible, and plenty of tables that—despite being in a diner-style restaurant—have absolutely no understanding of even the most basic of foods. One night, near the end of a double shift, my final table of the night consisted of two ladies. Without trying to sound like a judgmental douche, they were basically white-trash; their white tank tops both looked dirty, one wasn’t wearing a bra and they had that overly bleached blonde look to them. Whatever. It’s well within our normal range of customers. So, I approach the table, “Ladies, can I start the two of you off with a Coke or coffee?” One of them asks, “Do you have Mountain Dew?” I suppose it’s a fair question; some people colloquially call all soda “coke” despite it being an actual type and brand of soda. (Editor’s Note: These people are terrible, and you should never trust them.) “No, I’m sorry, we only have Coke products.” “I’ll take a Pepsi,” she says. I pause for a second. “So, is Coke OK, then?” She looks at me, confused. “No, a Pepsi.” “Ma’am, we have Coke products. Coke and Pepsi are competitors.” It finally dawns on her, so she takes the Coke. A moment later, I bring their beverages out and ask them if they are ready to order. Miss I-want-a-Pepsi asks another question I simply wasn’t prepared for, “What are the fish and chips?” I had thought it was a fair assumption that the vast majority of people knew what fish and chips where, but I was very clearly wrong here. After a brief pause, I explain it in detail: “It’s three panko breaded cod filets that are deep-fried and served with french fries and a side salad.” She seems quite confused by this, and asks about the portion size which I clarify in detail, “Well, there are three filets, each of them breaded and fried, probably about two to three ounces each, with a side of fries and a garden salad.” “So, it’s not real fish?” ...what? “The type of fish is cod.” “But, you don’t have any, like, fish, though?” At this point, I don’t quite follow and reiterate that it is indeed fish. I then explain that we also offer grilled Salmon and Tilapia if she’d prefer either of those, which she shakes her head at quite quickly and goes back to the fish and chips, “And instead of the chips, can I get, like, fries or something?” “... the chips are fries.” I tell her, feeling slightly at a loss for words, since I had just described this in detail twice. “Oh. Duh,” she says, echoing my thoughts entirely, “Okay, I’ll take the crispy chicken salad with extra extra ranch” she concludes out of nowhere. Her friend—who had been laughing at her partner’s inability to comprehend that chips are fries and that we do not have Pepsi—then proceeds to order the fish and chips. Free from the table, I go put their order in trying to process if all of that had actually happened. I promptly went back to the kitchen to do precisely what all waitstaff do: make fun of them. My coworkers laugh a bit and it’s work as usual. About ten minutes later, their food comes up and I take it out to them, naming each entree as I place it in front of the ladies. I ask how everything looks, “Good,” they say, and if they need anything else, and make my way through the rest of my section. About a minute later, I do the standard check-up to ensure they’re satisfied. I can tell that confusion has overtaken them. “What sort of fish is this?” the lady asks. “It’s cod,” I say. “Is there something wrong?” “I thought you had real fish.” Now, Pepsi-girl is fingering her friends fish and picking it apart with a look of a deer in headlights in her eyes. “Miss, it is real fish—it is cod, a type of fish, battered and deep fried.” I get a hesitant “okay” from them and quickly disappear to the kitchen where, yes, I begin making fun of them again because I’m just blown away by their inability to comprehend fish and chips. About five minutes later, a coworker who said I had been exaggerating everything comes up to me, “So, your table stopped me and asked what kind of fish they had was because they thought you were lying to them; I told them it was cod and they asked why we didn’t have real fish.” Any story that still gets referenced after the fact basically has to make these lists. 27. Tara Kelly: I worked at restaurant that served pretty standard traditional sushi and Izakaya dishes. Nothing fancy or outright spectacular. Guests often started their meals with the usual suspects: Miso Soup, Edamame, New Style Sashimi, etc. Four women came in for dinner one night. I greeted them, went over specials, rang up and dropped off their drink order. When I ask if they were ready to order food, one woman angrily demanded an explanation as to why I hadn’t brought over the bread rolls yet. I said they we don’t have bread rolls, and she went off the rails insisting that when she ate here last week, we brought her bread rolls. Her friends quickly devolved into her minions, nodding along and making a point to tell me they only reason why they came to the restaurant was for the free bread. I said that I was sorry, but we did not offer bread rolls. She then insists that she saw bread rolls at other tables. I looked around a fully seated restaurant. Not a single piece of bread in sight. I offered to go back to the kitchen and see if there was anything we could do. She put up her hand and waved me off. It was so over the top, I had to bite my lip to stifle laughing as I walked away. My manager went out to table to explain the same thing. Whatever was said, my manager came back into the kitchen rolling her eyes. She told me just to send out an app of my choice and comp it to shut the table up. Vegetable Tempura, it is! As I brought this oversized plate, stacked high with fried vegetables over to the table. The woman raises her eyebrows and loudly states: “Oh! Well! Looks like you found those bread rolls after all. Wasn’t that hard, was it?” This story was in the very first BCO of 2015. It has not gotten less funny to me since then. 26. Rebecca Summers: Back in the 70’s, Mom was putting herself through college by working at Kentucky Fried Chicken. One day, just before the lunch rush, Colonel Sanders shows up. He had sold the franchise years ago, but still did promotional tours. He was greeting staff and customers alike, when he went to stand next to my mother and put his hand on her back. Then the hand dropped and he just casually rested it on her ass like no big deal. Taking that same hand he had just used to sexually harass my mother, he goes over to the vat of mashed potatoes and scoops up a fistful. Then he goes to the gravy vat, dips his bare-handed potato fist in there, and licks it all up. One napkin later and the visit was over. (Editor’s Note: WELL, THEN!) I’m not sure how I could ever avoid using a story this bizarre in a Best Of post. Holy crap. 25. Emma Stevens: My boyfriend and I were on a road-trip from Chicago to San Francisco and had stopped around Kanab, Utah for the night. It was late and we were exhausted and hungry. Of course the only place left open in town was a McDonald’s, so to the drive-thru we went. And there we sat for about 5 minutes, no one ever came onto the intercom. We figured since it was so late the McDonald’s had a small crew and they probably didn’t notice the drive-in had a customer so we drove up. There was only one drive-in window, and through it we could see there were two young men on staff, one short and skinny, and one was quite tall, overweight, and sweaty (we could see how much he was sweating through the window, it was insane). They were both standing, staring off into the distance right in our direction, but made no move to answer the drive-thru window. We knew the place was still open, so my boyfriend rolled down the window and began knocking on theirs. The skinny one snaps out of his trance and walks over to the window very wobbly, as if he was drunk. He finally makes it to the window and decided to pry it open with his hands instead of using the button. He greeted us with a resounding “huh?” and fell silent. My boyfriend is patient man, and he calmly asked him to confirm the store was still open, because we would like to place an order. He proceeds to look at his wrist which has no watch on it, nods to confirm that they were open, and then walks away leaving the window open. My boyfriend called back to him again that we wanted to place an order, and he then very wobbly made his way back to stare silently at us again. Now the large one in the background had been staring at us the whole time this was happening and had not moved from his original spot. He made his way over to stare at us unblinking, over the shoulder of his shorter friend. My boyfriend said he would like a 10 nugget meal with a coke, and that I would like the southwestern salad. The skinny one took a minute to process this and then responded “oh yeah man, nothing’s ready, man so you’re going to have to wait.” And wait we did. Skinny went off to attempt to make our meal while the large one never moved from his spot at the window, continuing to stare like a zombie at us, sweating profusely. Fifteen minutes later, we have the chicken nuggets and our drinks. Skinny reappeared and maneuvered around his fat zombie friend to tell us in these exact words that he “f*cked up the little potatoes” and we would have to wait while he “gave it another try.” At this point it was obvious the dynamic duo was on something, only one of them seemed to be partially functioning. Ten more minutes passed and we finally got some french fries that were fresh but overcooked (some were brown). Whatever, we just wanted to get our last item, the salad and get to our hotel, we had been waiting a half an hour for freakin’ McDonald’s! My boyfriend reminded skinny of the salad and he fell silent and immobile again next to his friend. My boyfriend repeated the salad order, using large explanatory hand gestures, and skinny meandered around his friend and was off again. When he finally returned with the salad, it had no chicken in it. We then had to explain that the salads had chicken included with them, and then waited another 5 minutes for him to return with chicken in the salad. OMG — we were so close — all they had to do was give us the salad dressing and we could get the hell out of there! We asked him for salad dressing and his face contorted with confusion. He told us we had our salad and were free to go. We repeated yes we had the salad but needed salad dressing for it. Skinny took a minute to think and then said “like the ketchup or the big mac sauce? You want that on the side? I can’t do that man.” We shared a look of disbelief- this kid didn’t know what SALAD DRESSING WAS. I described what the packages of McDonald’s salad dressing looked like with Paul Newman on the front, and Skinny was then off on his next mission of discovery. He appeared again with a large box, and scooted around his zombie friend who I swear to god had not moved from staring at us the entire 35 minutes we were sitting there. “OK,” he said. Then he began to try to read off what kinds of dressings were in the box, horribly mispronouncing EVERY SINGLE ONE, his pronunciations are as follows in parentheses. “We have Ranch (ron-chee), Thousand Island (thou-za iz-lay), Asian (he didn’t even try, he just called this Chinese), and...” he began mouthing words and became even more confused. “We have...we also have...balsa dressing...no...bala-stic... noooo...ohhhhh...BALSMUK Dressing!” He was trying to say Balsamic Vinaigrette, and smiled in the end, quite pleased that he had finally said it ‘correctly.’ I told him I would love some BALSMUK dressing, and we grabbed it and got the hell out of there, with the two of them staring blankly out the window at us as we left. It wasn’t until we even got back to the hotel that we realized they never even charged us for the food! I may or may not refer to it as Balsmuk dressing all the time now. 24. Len Kelly: I was the assistant manager at a salad/sandwich shop. We offered several combinations of both, but only carried three types of salad lettuce; romaine, mixed greens, and spinach. So one day during our downtime I was busy making the schedule in the back. I only had one other person on staff — we’ll call him Travis. Travis and I heard the door chime go off. I know Travis isn’t the best front of house worker, but I was so close to finishing the schedule and it was just one person, so I figured he could handle it. A couple of minutes go by, I print and post the schedule and proceed to check on Travis. When I get to the line I see Travis staring at the menu on the wall struggling to make the one salad. He sees me and proceeds to ask: “What kind of lettuce comes on a Classic Spinach?” Me: Travis, it’s a Classic Spinach. Me: Travis, it’s a Classic Spinach. *emphasizing the word spinach more* Travis: Mixed greens? Me: Travis it’s a Classic Spinach. *really emphasizing the word spinach* At this point the customer and I are really laughing at Travis, especially since he went back to the first wrong choice when he only had three options. The customer left us a nice tip in the tip jar. Travis and I later told the story to rest of our staff, and “Romaine” became an inside joke amongst the staff. Tremendously underrated story. 23. Carla Lang: I was working at a pub in London—primarily a drinking place, but we also served food and had table service most of the time. This one family came in for lunch, a late-middle-aged woman and her two sons (I think), both about my age (I was 21 at the time). She had seemed a bit odd and fussy throughout the meal but nothing that weird. And then I came to take their dessert order. Her opener: “Your honeycomb ice cream. What kind of an ice cream is that?” I stared at this woman as a kind of gulf between my perception of reality and her perception of reality opened up in front of me. “Well...it’s a honeycomb ice-cream.” “No, but before they put the honeycomb in.” At this point I think I’ve spotted the problem, right. It wouldn’t be unreasonable to think that there were bits of honeycomb in the ice-cream, so I explain that the ice-cream is actually honey flavoured. “Okay, but before they put the honeycomb FLAVOUR in. What kind of ice-cream is it then?” I take a couple of seconds to readjust my face and then say that I’m not sure I understand her question - honeycomb is the only flavour in the ice cream. “But what is it before?” This is all getting a bit existential at this point, but I try once again to convey the idea that what I’m serving her is an ice cream flavoured with honeycomb, like, honeycomb is the flavour of the ice cream. She interrupts: “So it’s a vanilla ice-cream with bits of honeycomb in?” No, I say, honeycomb is a flavouring in the ice-cream. Her sons are looking increasingly embarrassed. “So it’s a vanilla ice-cream with honeycomb FLAVOURING in?” No, I say, steadily, because vanilla ice-cream has vanilla flavouring in, and this is a honeycomb ice-cream. She looks puzzled and I have the fatal instinct to try to explain. “So, like, strawberry ice-cream isn’t ‘vanilla ice cream with strawberry in’. It’s just…strawberry ice-cream. It’s like that.” “So, it’s a strawberry ice-cream with honeycomb in?” “NO. No. It is just a honeycomb ice cream.” “But before they put the - “ “BEFORE THEY PUT THE FLAVOURING IN THE ICE CREAM, THERE IS NO FLAVOUR IN THE ICE CREAM. It is a blank ice-cream. It is just very cold cream. Iced cream, if you will. It is a totally flavourless ice-cream.” There is a silence during which I contemplate the fact that I have just spoken to a customer as if she were a small, tantrum-y child. She says: “Why on earth would I order a completely flavourless ice-cream?” I nearly punched her. The kids left me a hell of a tip though. This story might rank higher except for the fact that every time I read it, my eyes cross, my nose starts bleeding, and I hear the sound of someone playing a 45rpm record of Highway to Hell backwards at 60rpm in my brain. 22. Barry Lewis: So a few years back, I worked as a delivery driver for Donatos, which is an Ohio-based pizza chain. Every Saturday, we would get the same order: a large pepperoni pizza and three two liters of Pepsi from this teenager who lived at the very edge of our delivery area (about a 20 mile round trip, which is tantamount to being murdered for a driver). So we would drive out there and every time, this kid wouldn’t tip, even though it was obvious his parents left him the money to tip while they went out bowling or swinging or whatever the fuck and the little shit was just pocketing it. Anyway, I get stuck with his delivery one Saturday night and resign myself to losing nearly an hour’s worth of earning potential, schlepping it out to the suburbs. I get allllll the way back to the shop and am told by my spineless manager that they’d just got off the phone with the kid because, and I quote, the “retard delivery driver had shook up his soda” and he wanted new ones. My manager, being terrible, comped his drinks and sent me back out to lose another 45 minutes of my night to deliver three two liters. So that’s when I figure I’ve accomplished everything I want to accomplish at this job, and that I’m fresh out of fucks. Kid lived in a cul-de-sac at the bottom of a fairly steep hill. Upon pulling onto his street, I stop at the top of the hill, open my car door, aim for the bushes at the bottom and bowl his 2-liters down the hill, driving slowly after them. Upon reaching the bottom, I retrieve the payload and bounce them off the curb a couple times, stuff them in the bag and violently shake while I walk to the door. Drop them off to the little asshole with a smile on my face and wait near the door after he goes back inside. Seconds later, I hear the unmistakable sound of two liters of highly pressurized foam ejecting itself violently all over this kid and his kitchen. He bolts outside to see me laughing hysterically on his walkway to the point that I’d fallen on one knee. I no longer work there. I don’t recall anyone defending the kid in this story at the time, so let’s give them one more chance to do so. 21. Rachel Higgs: I had been working at Chipotle for just over two hours when I encountered one of the most clueless women I’ve ever met in my life. This was in 2011, so Chipotle was already a massive and well-known corporation in the USA. From both sides of the sneezeguard, it is about as idiot-proof as you can get. Every menu item is clearly laid out, to be combined at the direction of the customer. I’d only been working a couple hours, but it was simple, so they left me on the line alone to take care of the zero customers there at the time. The door opened and a middle-aged couple stepped in. “Hi, welcome to Chipotle!” I called out, aware that I had the chance to look like a great hire in front of my new boss. They slowly shuffled up to me, scrutinizing the menu boards as the approached. I smiled and asked what I could make for them. In our local flavor of Midwestern accent she responded “Yes, what kind of soup are you serving today?” Uhh...Soup? I wasn’t expecting that. Before getting hired I’d eaten at Chipotle many times, and knew for a fact soup was not a menu item. Yet, I turned and checked the menu anyways, giving the benefit of the doubt, just in case that was a test-market Chipotle or there had been a menu addition. Nothing. “I’m sorry ma’am we don’t serve any kinds of soup here. Is there anything else you’d like?” “No soup? Well, what’s a bowl then?” She was really being very polite at this stage. I was just relieved to know the answer, and explained that some people preferred to have all the contents of a burrito without the tortilla wrap, so we called that a burrito bowl. Even as I was speaking, I could see their eyes starting to glaze over with the use of Spanish words like tortilla and burrito. “No soup?” She sounds defeated. “No.” I smile sadly. “I’m really sor-” “All we want is soup. Where is there soup?” She started to get a little snappy. I pointed to the purple awnings of Panera visible from our windows. “You could try Panera. They usually have pretty good soup.” I was ashamed that I’d lost a sale on my first customers, but there was nothing to be done. The customers seemed to calm again from their slightly agitated state (the whole time the husband had been standing behind his wife, completely silent but mirroring her facial expressions almost exactly) and turned to leave. They reached the door and I was trying to process the interaction I just had, when she turned back and yelled “You really shouldn’t call it a bowl if you aren’t going to put soup in it!” I mean, what else could a bowl possibly be used for aside from soup? I’m still reasonably sure these people eat cereal off a plate. With a knife and fork. 20. Lindsay Newman: When I was 16, my mother was an assistant manager at the local Pizza Hell (Pizza Hut, but we literally never called it by it’s proper name) and so lovingly shanghai’d me into the wonderful world of the service industry. I had many a horrific adventures in Pizza Hell, but the worst were the ones that involved the local Santa Claus, who was hatefully nicknamed “Psycho Santa.” Psycho Santa got free food. No one knew why, no one knew who started this long standing tradition, but he always got free food from November till March and no one ever questioned it. The Psycho Santa tales ranged from groping servers and offering to “stuff their little stocking with his North Pole” to him walking into the kitchen and harassing the cooks who were preparing his food. I was already terrified of this guy and I hoped that everyone was just trying to freak me out. None of those stories had prepared me for the unbridled hell that he would unleash on me. My encounter with Psycho Santa was on a fateful November afternoon. There was a birthday party in our back room, and in the winter season, Psycho Santa would randomly show up in full yuletide regalia and crash birthday parties, demand free food, and generally fuck the server’s day to hell. Today, he sees we have a party in the back, turns heel and leaves. I breathe a sigh of relief—I had heard the legend of Psycho Santa and had yet to deal with him, and I think today is my lucky day. Ten minutes later, I hear the quietest little sound behind me and turn to see the mother of the birthday boy, a look of extreme concern on her face. She beckons me close and whispers, “I’m so sorry to bother you Miss, but there’s a little problem.” She’s so polite and seems afraid of offending me, so I slap on the sunniest smile I can manage and reply, “Of course! Tell me what’s up and I’ll do my best to take care of it.” “Well...Santa Claus has just shown up at my son’s birthday party. He knocked on the back door and we thought he might be an employee.” “Okay,” I say slowly. Usually, people like when Psycho Santa shows up and tip their server like they booked him themselves for their little darling. “Well...We’re Jewish.” I nod understandingly, slightly horrified at that alone, but her tale is not finished. “And when I told him that we were Jewish and did not celebrate Christmas, he told me that everyone celebrates Christmas...even Jews.” And I know right then that whatever kind of good day I was having has just gone down the toilet. I tell her that I am so sorry for the confusion, that Santa does NOT work for us, and that I’ll go and get the manager on duty—which was the GM, a useless fucking paper clip that never dealt with anything, ever—who informs me that I, in my infinite teenaged wisdom and experience, need to deal with the situation. I gird my loins and march back, and ask Psycho Santa to come with me; amazingly, he complies. I inform him that he’s not wanted at the party in the politest way I possibly can, but he doesn’t seem to understand. “But I’m Santa Claus!” “I understand that, sir, but they’re Jewish, and they don’t celebrate Christmas.” “Don’t celebrate Christmas? That’s the most un-Christian thing I’ve ever heard!” “That’s because they aren’t Christian. They’re Jewish.” “Well, even Jew kids like Santa!” “Sir, many Jewish families don’t teach their children about Santa because that’s not part of their beliefs...” On and on this goes for 15 minutes, until he finally gets pissed off enough that he just plops down at a table. “Fine. I’ll just get my free food and go then.” I’m just thankful that he’s shut his face anus about being fucking Santa and that everyone fucking loves Santa, so I agree, take his obscenely large order, and push it through as fast as possible. He takes his food, leaves, and I get a generous tip and a thank you note from the birthday party in the back, along with a slice of cake. And I think that I have survived, and that the worst was over. NOT EVEN REMOTELY. The next day, I go about my shift feeling like a champ because I made it through my skirmish with Psycho Santa unscathed. Sure, the guy’s a fucking throbbing pikestaff, but I’ve dealt with worse. Until he marches through the door with the boxes of food he got yesterday. He slams the boxes down in front of me and yells in my face, “Do I look like I’m gonna put up with some entitled little c*nt ripping me off?” That alone is enough to send me into the shakes, and I start bobbing my head around like a terrified chicken. My logical brain is wondering “how exactly do you rip someone off when they got free food?” but my gut is like “agree or he’s gonna fucking hurt you.” Thank god for my gut. He proceeds to yank open the box on top, whips out a fucking pocket knife, and cuts open his “P’zone.” For all you younguns, that was a thing at Pizza Hut before this “artisan” bullshit started. It was like a pizza folded in half without any sauce inside. I refuse to call it anything else, that’s what it was. So Psycho Santa starts brandishing this fucking pocket knife at me, screaming something about me ripping him off and not putting “enough” toppings on the damn thing. Well, in my terror, all I can think to stutter is “I’m sorry sir, we followed the company specs, that’s how much is supposed to be on the P’zone.” So Santa does what any reasonable human would do: he stabs the fucking pizza box with the pocket knife, walks over to the nearest table, picks up a fucking chair and hurls it down the hall that leads to the back party room, screaming obscenities at me. By this point I’ve wised the fuck up and ducked for cover under the counter, crying for help like the sniveling terrified pissbaby that I was. The Momager is the manager on duty, and she hears the chair and her sniveling terrified pissbaby daughter crying for help over the noise of the kitchen and gets up front. Psycho Santa is no match for the Momager. She’s armed with one of the cast iron pizza pans we used for the pan pizzas and she has gone from her usually sweet demeanor to full-on She-Hulk. She comes at him full speed, screaming at him to “get the fuck out before I bash your fucking skull in.” This is a direct quote that has been chiseled into my skull because it remains the most bad-ass thing I have ever heard my mom say. Psycho Santa is scared shitless and bolts. Momager calls the local yokels, who laugh it off and tell us, “Well, that’s just (Psycho Santa’s real name). He left, didn’t he?” Momager says yeah, and they tell her not to piss him off. Gotta love small town cops. I almost left out Psycho Santa before the person helping me figure out which stories to use epically lost her shit at me over it. Message received. 19. Barry Kristol: I was in my 20s, playing in a jazz trio at a local Club Corp. club, which took up the penthouse floor of a high-rise building in a Southern US city. It was a nice, if kind of sterile place, the kind of place that attracted ‘New money’ rather than old. I don’t know what the memberships cost, but the food was all out of the price range of a poor college kid like I was. It was a fairly easy gig, as gigs go – three hours, for three nights a week. But the money was good, the staff was friendly, and as long as I could stand playing the same ‘standards’ night after night, it was okay. The manager had made a stab at a music career before he moved into restaurant management, so he was always sympathetic to the band. Now keep in mind, this was the kind of place where the music was background noise to conversations. Our dynamics went from “pop” to “p” (for you non-musicians, that means “ridiculously soft” to “still able to talk over it without straining”). I was the drummer, and ended up playing with brushes, my hands, or drumsticks not much bigger in diameter than No. 2 pencils. We were always keeping an eye on the volume, and rarely got complaints. Rarely. But then there were times that nothing I did could keep a diner from whining. Case in point, one evening the waiters put together a banquet table. 20 chairs. These were always dicey, because it usually meant a birthday celebration of some kind, which meant a wide age range of diners. This usually translated into weird requests (“No, I’m afraid we can’t do a credible version of Purple Haze - no vocalist, and no electric guitar…is there something else we could play for you?”) or cranky old farts who wanted to hear moldy oldies, but dialed down to a volume impossible to play. Now the wait staff was pretty good at putting the potential whiners as far away from the bandstand as possible. But on this night, the birthday boy/old fart/paterfamilias of the table insisted on being seated at the head of the table, which was, coincidentally, right by my drums. My crash-ride cymbal, in fact, blocked my view of his ancient head. Keep in mind, I was playing with wire brushes, and generally keeping off that cymbal, anticipating trouble. And trouble was on it’s way, almost immediately. The old fart called over the waiter to complain about the volume of the drums. The waiter told the bandleader, who dutifully asked me to turn it down. “I HAVE ‘turned it down’…how much softer do you think I can play?” One song later, the fossil called over the manager, Walt. Walt smiled and said he’d handle it, winked at me, and suggested I lay off the cymbal nearest the guys head. I’d already done that, but I smiled my “I wanna get paid and not lectured” smile, and gamely played on. We were playing softly enough that I could overhear the dinner conversation at the banquet table. Words like “too damn loud,” “damn drummers” and “this is a terrible restaurant” wafted over my drum kit. I looked grimly at the bandleader, and then came up with an inspired idea. As the old fart summoned Walt once again, I was ready. The patron raised his voice, and complained about “that damn cymbal in my ear.” Walt grinned, and gestured to the bandstand. “What cymbal is that?” he asked. The old guy looked over at me. Only then did he realize I’d removed the cymbal from the stand and put it behind my drum throne. I was playing “air cymbal,” keeping the beat with my bass drum and hi-hat. I smiled at the asshat. Big grin. He muttered something about “smart-ass kids” and went back to chewing his cud. The manager smiled at me and mouthed the words “Well-played!” and withdrew. As I recall, one of the guy’s kids left a big tip for the wait staff, since Mr. Big Shot refused to leave a dime. This is probably the gentlest, politest revenge story we’ve ever run. Someone will still find a way to complain about it in the comments. 18. Keri Bixby: My very first job was working at a now defunct truck-stop in the Ozark Mountains area of Arkansas in the early 2000s. One soul-crushingly hot July day, I was working as the “hostess” in the diner attached to the truck-stop when a trucker came in to make a to-go order. He was a pretty heavy-set, bearded guy, probably in his mid-sixties, and wearing a button-up shirt. After he made his order, he told me that he was going to go check something in his truck, and he’d be back in 15 minutes to pick up his order. I put his order in and went about my business. After a few minutes, the trucker came back in and told me that it was too hot to be outside and I told him he was welcome to just hang out at a table while his food was cooking, so he sat down near me and we starting talking. When he had gone out to his truck, he had taken off his button-up shirt and was now wearing a red muscle shirt. I also noticed he was now carrying a plastic bag from the store section of the truck-stop, and when I asked him what he bought, he pulled out a cheap knock-off Barbie and some princess jewelry and told me he had picked them up for his granddaughter, who he was going to see later that week. A few minutes into our conversation, a family came in that consisted of a young father, his Southern Belle of a wife, and their daughter, who was not quite 4. I sat them down and went to check on the truckers food while the 4-year old desperately tried to get her mother’s attention. As I walked out of the kitchen holding the trucker’s order, the girl started slowing building herself into a total state of mania. Finally, in front of the entire restaurant, the little girl stood up in her chair, pointed at the trucker and screamed “MOM THAT’S SANTA AND HE’S ON VACATION AND I CAUGHT HIM AND THAT IS SANTA. THAT. IS. SANTA. CLAUS!” She then sat down, exhausted, and stared unblinkingly at the trucker while her parents looked at her, absolutely mortified. Before anyone had a chance to collect their thoughts and say something to her, the trucker jumped up, walked over to the little girl and immediately busted out a perfect, booming Santa impersonation: Santa/Trucker: “Ho Ho Ho! That’s right! I am Santa, and I’m on a secret vacation here in Arkansas, but you caught me! Do you know what happens when little girls catch Santa on vacation?” Little girl, “no....” (side note: yes, the parents looked absolutely terrified at this point) Santa/Trucker: “YOU GET PRESENTS! HO HO HO!” He then proceeded to hand the little girl all the cheap truck-stop toys he had bought for his own granddaughter, then took his to-go order out of my hands, winked, and walked out the door. I never saw him again. I am almost positive Santa is actually a trucker in Arkansas after reading this story. 17. Annie Overton: I worked at one of “New York City’s Hottest New Restaurants!” for awhile last year, and it was a pretty legit gig. Well-known chef, restaurateur-mogul owner, and “California-Italian Fusion cuisine designed for sharing” (translation: “Whatever the fuck Chef thinks tastes good and wants to cook”). Being that the restaurant was part of a Corporate AF restaurant group, they took allergies REALLY SERIOUSLY, GUYS. I’ve never punched in more convoluted fucking orders than at this restaurant. This situation was encouraged by the fact that the question “are there any allergies or dietary restrictions we should be aware of?” was part of our required server spiel when taking an order. This one night I was assigned to turn-and-burn “vacation station,” a section of eight two-tops at the front of the restaurant. One of my first tables is a Very Jersey Couple, the female half of which is wearing a dress that only barely counts as “clothing” along with eight thousand Gold Jangly Things on her neck and wrists. They seem friendly enough, though, so okay. We chat for a few minutes and I get to the allergen part of my spiel, at which point the woman interrupts me— “I have very serious dietary restrictions. It’s a diet I’ve been on for a week and a half, but I’m SUPER committed to it.” “Okay, great, we’re more than happy to accommodate whatever you need. What are your dietary restrictions?” “Well. I don’t eat meat, gluten, dairy, or ‘fish that swim.’” When she says the “fish that swim” part, she makes a motion with her hand indicating the swimming pattern of a dolphin—like a fish that leaps up and down in and out of the water. I stare at her and blink furiously, hoping that somehow using my face muscles in this way will prevent me from snort-laughing at this comment or, at minimum, inquire as to why she is dining at a restaurant where they serve Food, usually containing the aforementioned in some combination. I remark that her diet is admirably strict and ask her to clarify what constitutes “fish that swim.” “I mean, like, shrimp and crabs and lobster and stuff...that’s fine. They, like, walk on the ocean floor, right? Or swim like this?” [makes swimming motion with hand] “So...shellfish are okay? Mollusks—like, mussels and clams—they’re fine?” “Oh, totally! Just no fish that swim!” [repeats swimming hand motion] I thanked them and bolted from the table to the barista station in the back as quickly as I could to die of laughter. We ended up serving her some uber-shellfished version of our bouillabaisse, removing all the “fish that swim” [makes swimming hand motion]. CRISIS AVERTED. I thought this story was pretty solid, but man, you guys loved the fuck out of it. The lesson, as always, is that I am only ever even partially attuned to the BCO zeitgeist, at best. 16. Larry Kramer: I worked at a pizza joint for a summer in 94. On a typical Friday night with the 4 phone lines ringing off the hook, I mostly said, “thank you for calling ______, can you please hold?” The manager’s policy was not to wait for a response if more than one line is ringing because customers will abuse that time and weasel ahead of the phone line. As I am going down the lines saying the phrase, I hear a guy say NO as I hit the hold button. He gets pissed and hangs up and calls back 3 times. Each time I hear him yell NO! before putting him back on hold. He decides to show up, and throws the most epic fit I have ever seen. The typical don’t you know who I am etc etc. Without making this longer, we finally get his order and he says he WILL be waiting in the car. It takes about 20 minutes to make his pizza, and he keeps coming back in, yelling about if his pizza was done. Every 5 min up until the 15 min mark we say “no, sir, it will be ready in a few minutes.” The last time he asked, it was actually done and being carried over to the holder. So he walks in, asks, the girl checks the rack and doesn’t see it, and says no. As soon as she says no I say sir (I had the pizza) but he’s in such a huff, he slams the door before I could get his attention. I have no time to go chase him and I know he will be back in 5 minutes. Meanwhile the guy who placed his order right after him walks in and walks out with the pizza he ordered. Well, him seeing that must have unleashed the power of 3,000 strokes because he came flying in in a rage talking about how he ordered before the last guy. I told him that we tried to catch him but he left in a hurry. We gave him his pizza on the house. The guy is yelling and cussing and making a huge scene as he walks out and to his car and places the pizza on top of his car all the while yelling and pointing at us all as we stand watching through the huge window to the parking lot. He gets in his car, starts to tear out of the parking lot...and the pizza he left on the top of his car slides off the roof, slides down the back of the trunk, and splats face down on the pavement. As this was happening, my manager is like WAIT FOR ITTTT and then we all jump for joy and yell and laugh. At that point, the guy sits there for 5 seconds, and then just speeds off. At that moment, I knew there was a God, and he was vengeful. Karma is real sometimes, and it is beautiful. 15. Kelli Jeffries: I was 15 and working at a vineyard restaurant. I had been working in food service for three years (yes, I started young), and while I was a fairly shy kid, I’d gotten reasonably comfortable waiting on tables at that point. It was 3:45pm (15 minutes to close, but hey, we were still open!) and a 6-top sat themselves on our patio. The leader of the group was a broad-shouldered woman in beige capris. I placed the menus on the table and launched into the usual jibber-jabber, including the fact that between 2pm and 4pm we offered a delightful tapas menu. Now, the reason for offering a more limited menu between 2 PM and 4 PM was to give the cook (also my Mother) an opportunity to prep the following day’s menu, and in addition, to make it possible for the both of us to make it to our evening jobs on time. So the tapas menu was a lot of pre-made (but still housemade and delicious) items that could be plated quickly. The leader of the pack did not take kindly to the fact that they missed the full lunch menu. Our conversation went something like this: Her: “We want the full menu.” Me: “I’m sorry, but between 2 and 4 PM we offer the tapas menu. It has lots of wonderful items—” Her: “That’s fucking bullshit. Bring me the full menu.” Me (stunned, but remaining resolute): “I’m sorry Ma’am, but this is the menu we’re offering at present.” Her: “That is fucking unacceptable. I boated all the way from [redacted] for dinner (NOTE: we were a lunch-only establishment) and I expect the full menu.” Anyway, this exchange went on for a while, and I wish I had time to share all of the creative expletives and insults she levied at me. By this point her dining-mates were cringing so hard they had melted into their seats. Me: “I think if you’d take a look at the menu, you’d see that there are lots and lots of options. Very filling.” Her: “Fuck you and your tapas. I want to speak to your manager.” Me: (voice quivering) “I can arrange that, but I’m pretty sure she’s going to tell you the same thing I just did.” Her: “BRING. ME. YOUR. MANAGER. YOU. FUCKING. LITTLE. IDIOT.” And then she threw her head back. Horked. And spat on my foot. A BIG, MUCOUSY glob of spit. Given that a customer had just intentionally spat on me, I started to crumble. The other waitress (who I’ll call Sara) took me by the arm and walked me back to the kitchen, where I started to cry. I sobbed out to the cook/Mom “there is a customer out there who wants the full menu!” Of course, I was about to add: “and she just spat on my foot!” when the customer in question walked RIGHT INTO THE KITCHEN. Her: “I want the full menu. And you’re going to give it to me.” Mom: “As your waitress surely explained to you, we offer the tapas menu between 2 and 4pm.” Her: “You are going offer me the full menu, or I will tell each and every person I meet what a shithole establishment this is. I will write letters to the owners and get you fired. I will make your life a fucking hell.” Mom (pulling her largest butcher knife from the block): “Fine, I will serve you the full menu, but *stabbing her knife into the wooden chopping block* I AM NOT FUCKING HAPPY ABOUT IT.” So the worst customer I’ve ever had smiled triumphantly, took the menu my mother offered her, and practically skipped back out to her table. At that point it was decided that I would not be waiting on the table for the remainder of the transaction. Sara, who was two years older than myself and decidedly one of the most prim and proper teenagers in existence, took over. The table ordered their meals (of course the ONLY PERSON who ordered from the lunch menu is the she-witch—everyone else offered platitudes about “how wonderful the tapas sound”) and a pitcher of sangria to share. I watched from the corner as Sara took them their wine glasses. And I watch as she tottered over with a large, fruit-filled pitcher of sangria. And I watched as she lifted the pitcher high over the wretched woman’s head...and dumped it all over her. Finally, that woman had nothing to say. As a commenter put it at the time: “Sara is the hero we deserve.” 14. Cara Sloane: I was out with some friends and my long-suffering boyfriend. The night was winding down, so we thought we’d grab a bite at the all night diner. We all got seated and discussed what we were having. Grilled cheese is what I settled on, with fries. The waitress asked me for my order and then asked me what type of bread I’d like. I’m generally super health conscious, so I said “no bread, thanks.” She replied, without skipping a beat, “that would be a puddle of cheese, and we don’t do that.” I ordered pumpernickel. I was always genuinely impressed with the server’s professionalism here, because there is no way in hell I could ever be this on point were I presented with that specific situation. 13. Kinja user Plaatsvervangende Schaamte: I ran a Subway sandwich shop for a few years back in college. I did get my fair share of idiots (and committed my fair share of faux pas as well), but one woman in particular during a lunch rush stands out in my mind as the most aggressively stupid customer I had. Not stupidest period, but definitely most determined to infect her stupidity upon others. She ordered a standard cold cut sandwich, got through all the toppings without incident, then hit a brick wall on the sauces. Oil and vinegar? Easy peasy. Mayonnaise, no problem (this was the south... kids are born knowing how to pronounce mayonnaise). Dee-john mustard (whatever, it’s phonetically how it’s spelled, sure, you get a pass). Then comes chipotle sauce. She goes “Chip...chip-holt...chip-holt-uh-lee...chip-oh...chip-POH-little. Chipohlittle.” I make sure to say “chipot-lay” in response to gently correct her, and she proceeds to correct me with “chip-poh-LITTLE” and give me a condescending smirk. Whatever. I wrap up her sandwich and leave it for the cashier to finish. As I’m working on the next sandwich, the customer asks for chipotle sauce, and she immediately corrects him “Chip-poh-little.” I say chipotle again, and she clucks and corrects me again. After paying, she decides to stand behind the line and correct every single person who asks for it (and, as luck would have it, the next few people all wanted The Sauce That Shall Not Be Named). It wasn’t until another employee and a customer simultaneously shot her a dirty look that she abandoned course and bustled her soggy, over-sauced chip-poh-little sandwich out of the store. Props for somehow finding a worse mispronunciation for Chipotle than “Chi-POLE-tay.” 12. Theresa Harkin: When I was in college, I worked at a popular restaurant chain. Before menus had nutritional information provided, we had a section of the menu (it was 2 items) that were considered “healthier.” I had a lady order the shrimp dish, nothing out of the ordinary. When her meal arrived, she pulled me over to ask where her crab was. I told her the dish she ordered only came with shrimp and that we didn’t serve crab. Needless to say, this made her angry, so she demanded to see a menu and a manager. I brought the menu to her first and she furiously flipped to the page. “See?” she said. “Served with net crabs!” I had to point out to her that what she was reading was the amount of net carbohydrates in her dinner. She didn’t speak to me for the rest of her meal. Look, worldwide overfishing of net carbs is a serious issue. It’s no laughing matter. 11. Matt Hardin: This took place several years ago in the town of Fayetteville, AR, at a restaurant known as ROTC (The Restaurant on the Corner). The waiter in question, we’ll call him Simon, was a waiter who earned the favor of regulars by being efficient and direct but made no attempt to be pleasant just to fish for tips or, frankly, for any reason whatsoever. Curt, typically scowling, and on weekend mornings and afternoons and almost invariably severely hung over, he could be a nightmare for newcomers not prepared for the no-nonsense approach he took to the job. One Sunday brunch, I and some friends were dining there when the table besides us, a family of five or six people, flagged him down. Now, they weren’t especially rude, but it was a very busy morning and they weren’t his customers (their waiter had been gone for several minutes). “Young man,” the matron of the group said to him, indicating the baked potato on her plate, “I’m afraid there’s been a mistake. I ordered hash browns. That is a baked potato.” Simon stood there for a few silent seconds with a blank expression, like he was only slowly able to process the events taking place before him. Then with a look of genuine confusion, he leaned over and eyeballed the potato. Slowly, gently, he reached over and lifted it from her plate. He stood again and inspected it, holding it above his head to check the underside, turning it around to investigate every angle. Then, seemingly satisfied with his evaluation, he returned it to her plate, turned to her and replied, “You’re absolutely right, ma’am, that IS a baked potato!” Then, leaning down in an almost conspiratorial fashion, he pointed towards the kitchen and said, “Don’t let them fool you!” With that, and before the shocked and confused customers could immediately respond, he made off to the back, leaving them speechless and our table trying to suppress muffled giggles. In our heart of hearts, we are all Simon. 10. Matt McNair: My sophomore year of high school through my sophomore year of college, I worked summers at a local old-school 50’s style drive-in. The staff was almost entirely high school kids or recent graduates who were attending the local community college. No one older than 20. One employee in particular seemed destined for an early grave. We’ll call him Jacob. During closeup one night, Jacob was tasked with sweeping and mopping the kitchen. Basic KP duty. I was mixing a batch of root beer in the back room when my lungs began to itch. Seconds later, the entire kitchen staff came barreling around the corner doing their best impression of Han Solo running from the Imperial shield bunker on Endor. Seems Jacob thought it would be clever to mix up some extra-powerful cleaner to make his job easier. He’d mixed a half-gallon of bleach with a half-gallon of ammonia in the mop bucket. For reference, this is the equivalent of crossing the streams. We recovered, and Jacob was educated on WWI chemical warfare.(Editor’s Note: I am in love with these entire last two paragraphs.) Next. We made our own cole slaw. Toss three heads of cabbage, 10 carrots, a bowl of dressing, a bit of salt and pepper into this ancient chopping mechanism, give it a few passes, and voila. Jacob was assigned the job. Again, how hard could it be? About half an hour later and Jacob was still hard at work on a job that should have taken, at most, 10 minutes. The kitchen manager walks to the back to investigate. “Jesus Christ, Jacob, what the hell is this?” “Cole slaw, duh.” You could hear his eyes roll. “Jacob, have you ever eaten cole slaw?” “Did it fucking look like pudding?!” I had to see. Jacob had made a slaw smoothie. It was literally liquified. I still don’t know how. (Editor’s Note: Goddamit, Jacob.) Everyone who has ever worked in a restaurant for an extended period of time has known at least one Jacob. Goddamit, Jacob, indeed. 9. Vanessa Halliard: This story takes places in a far off time when our relatively conservative area was getting its very first high street gentlemen’s clubs. They’d just opened one in a city about an hours drive away and the management had decided to house some of the strippers in our city for safety reasons. The housing was a high end apartment block of mostly tourist rentals separated from our historic gastro pub by an alleyway. Our clientele was a weird mix of alternative/geek students and elderly blue collar workers. Since we had no TV or radio, “stripper watch” became a major entertainment for a lot of the guys and window seats on that side of the building were in high demand. We’d also recently gotten a new manager, an odd Harvey Fierstein lookalike with no sense of personal space or personal hygiene. When he heard that a lot of the customers and most of the staff were goth or punk he invested in some leather trousers to better ‘fit in’ with the culture. Sadly he didn’t really fit into the trousers; by the second day the zipper had given out under the strain and was permanently stuck at half mast. He liked to flirt with all the female patrons, regardless how horrified they were by his open trousers and vaguely cheesy odour. After a few weeks and many complaints to the owner the majority of the women stopped coming to the pub at all. The owner insisted he couldn’t do anything unless the manager did something substantial. He soon got his wish. The managers had access to an apartment over the bar. One day after the lunch rush the old guy on stripper watch mentioned that the girls were back from the gym. The bar staff didn’t notice the manager was gone until a couple of cops came in asking for him—apparently they urgently needed access to the upper floor of the building. We figured he was either up there or out at the suppliers, so we let the cops go up. Turns out he was the reason they needed access—he’d decided to woo one of the strippers by means of draping himself, naked, over his office desk opposite her bedroom window. One of the cops described it as “the couch scene in Titanic but with a silverback gorilla instead of Kate Winslet.” We never found out what the stripper though of his attempt, because she never saw it—the witnesses were an elderly tourist couple and their grandkids. That silverback gorilla line is fucking poetry. One of the best lines of any submission I’ve ever received. 8. Cassie Trainor: When I was in high school and college, during the summers I worked as a server on the boardwalk. Typical restaurant that you would find on the boardwalk at the Jersey shore (breakfast in the am then switches over to cheesesteaks, gyros, French fries, pizza etc). Living in a vacation destination, where about 85% of the restaurants close in the winter time, I did as most the locals do and worked as many doubles as humanly possible in the summer months. I remember one day where I was only scheduled to work to 4, I was so excited I wasn’t working a double that I didn’t even care that my last table before I was cut was an 8 top that was sat at 3:50. I went to my table, and they just ordered pizza. GREAT! This would be an easy table, and I could finish my sidework (carrying up huge boxes of cups and other paper products from the basement) while they were eating. When the pizzas were done, I brought the food to the table along with a basket where I put everything people might ask for to go with their pizza. Garlic, parmesan cheese, oregano, red pepper flakes, extra silverware and napkins. Knowing I was going to be down in the basement for 15 minutes I even brought the weird but still common requests of hot sauce and ranch. I wanted to cover all my bases. My table was happy and I went down to the basement to do my sidework. Then I heard my co-worker yell down the stairs to me, “CASSIE, YOUR TABLE SAID YOU FORGOT TO BRING OVER PIZZA TOPPINGS—THEY ARE ASKING FOR YOU!” Shocked, since I literally brought the table every single thing in the restaurant that one would put on a pizza, I went back upstairs and over to the table. “There’s no jelly on the table,” they told me. “Jelly?” I asked, thinking I heard him wrong. “Yeah, You forgot the Jelly.” A moment’s pause before I asked again: “Jelly?” Now looking at me like I’m an idiot, they repeated, “Yeah, you forgot to bring over the Jelly.” I just had to ask again, because wtf, “Like, grape jelly...?” “Obviously,” the man said smugly, looked at his wife, and rolled his eyes. I went and got the jelly packets (which were taken off the tables and put away in the serving station— because BREAKFAST WAS OVER) and brought them to the table. And that’s the time I watched a group of eight people spread grape jelly all over two pizzas and happily eat them. You know a story resonates when you get a bunch of “I don’t normally judge people for weird eating habits, but WHAT THE FUCK” comments. It isn’t even so much that they were eating grape jelly on pizza as that they thought it was insane that she didn’t think to bring it automatically. 7. Jessica Faller: A friend was waiting tables at an expensive old chestnut of a restaurant in NYC, one of those destination spots for moneyed tourists who think that just because it’s famous and costs an arm and a leg the food is better (it is not). A trio of middle-aged ladies came in for lunch, decked out in their Mob Wives finest, instantly demanding things from the server left and right in Jersey-accented smoker’s rasps. One waved away the wine list when it was presented. “Just bring me a bottle of Piglio Griglio.” Pause. Gorgon Number Two tapped on her friend’s arm with her acrylic talons. “You stupid bitch! It’s Pinot Giorgio!” And now I will forever refer to it as Piglio Griglio. 6. Brad Halsey: There is a man who comes to my Starbucks every single day and orders the most horrible drink in an infuriating way. He purchased 365 Starbucks cards and registered every one of them online with a different birthday so that he gets a “free birthday drink” EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR. Even though I know exactly how he “beat the system” there, he pretends that his app is just malfunctioning and it magically gives him the same free birthday drink every day. If he was a nice guy, I might not be so irritated. But he’s not a nice guy. Here is a sample of our exchange when he orders (when you imagine his voice, it should be pompous and creepy): Me, scowling on the inside: “Hello.” Him: “I need a Venti cup and a marker.” Me: “Oooooohkaaaay. Here ya go.” I reluctantly give him the cup and marker. He draws lines and arrows and writes all over the cup while telling me: “Two pumps of white mocha here, then add five pumps of vanilla. That should take us to this line here where you’re gonna add cold heavy cream up to this ridge here...it should be halfway between this line and this line. Make sure to add the heavy whipping cream before the espresso, it changes the taste if you do it out of order. Then add your four shots, three regular and one long shot. That long shot is important, since you guys reformulated your machines, it’s been Hell trying to get my drink right. That long shot helps balance it. Then stir it for me, Mister Brad. Now do me a favor and add ice to the top there and it’ll be easy as pie. I’m not picky so don’t worry about shaking it or anything like that.” Me: “OK. Easy as pie.” Him: “Now they ring it up for me like this: one quad espresso, add white mocha, sub vanilla, sub heavy cream.” [He wants it rung up that way so he just has to pay $3.00 for a drink that really should be around $6.50 if it was rung up correctly as an Iced Quad Venti Vanilla White Mocha with heavy cream instead of milk.] Him: “Now I’m going to use my free birthday reward to pay. Did I tell you about my birthday reward app malfunction? The app is screwed up and it’s been giving me the same free birthday drink for twelve days now! I mean, I’m not going to complain or anything. Maybe I should check my mail at my old house and see if I’ve won free Starbucks for life! Ha ha ha!” [he tastes his drink & frowns] Him: “Mister Brad, why don’t you pour a decaf shot on top of this for me? It’ll be perfect then. It’s just a hair too sweet.” [I pour one decaf shot on top of his drink] Me, and my skin is crawling at this point: “Thanks! Have a great day. Oh yeah, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY.” The first of two stories that got farther away from me than I expected, this one was covered in multiple news outlets and actually resulted in public comments from Starbucks along the lines of “don’t worry; we’re gonna handle this shit.” Go figure. 5. Daniel Green: Back in culinary school, several of the Chef instructors would ask for volunteers to assist them with gigs they booked outside of school. It was essentially a free labor racket for their private catering jobs, but hey, who wouldn’t do it if they had access to a hundred bright-eyed and bushy-tailed idiots that had never been in a real kitchen before? More often than not, these events were at some palatial house full of old guys and their mistresses. We would work for 6-8 hours, clean up, and then get blasted with the FOH on $250/btl champagne. I mention this because the following event was nothing like any of these, not remotely. I and three other classmates agree to an event for our current course Chef. I assumed that it would be one of the aforementioned events because it was Houston and in the middle of goddamn August. Sadly, no. Outdoors in some god-forsaken swamp an hour from nowhere with mosquitos that could have eaten small children. It was a birthday party for one of Chef’s friends out at their “lake house.” 50 ppl, 6 courses, full bar, wait staff and us with their outdoor kitchen. Residential gas grill, nice 6 burner stove, and about 2 feet of work space. We get lost on our way out there so were already weeded out when we show up. After a 10 minute ass chewing from Chef we get to work. About 2 hours into prep one of my classmates cuts her arm. The knife was sitting under a 40# box of cucumbers and she sliced her arm from about 1” above the wrist to about 2” below the elbow, so a good 5-6” long and 1/4” deep. We all immediately flip our shit as there is blood pouring out of her arm. Like I said were an hour from nowhere and probably 2 to the nearest hospital. So, what does she do? She tourniquets her arm at the elbow with an ice pick and towel, washes the blood off, puts the offending knife onto the gas fire, heats it to a nice brick red and...wait for it...cauterizes her own arm. At this point my dick is fully retreated into my stomach and my nuts were following close behind. She then washed the “burn” with lemon juice (it works, I don’t know why, but it does) sprayed some vegalene on it, covered it with plas wrap, cleaned up her station and WENT BACK TO WORK. Everything after that went fine. It all happened in probably less time than it has taken me to write this. I don’t know what happened to her after culinary school, probably teaching the IDF how not to be sissies or something. I always approve of stories about restaurant employees who appear to be real-life versions of John McClain. 4. Lou Bergen: I was working in an upscale restaurant that specialized in fresh seafood. Check averages pushed $200 for two, so the tips were good. Now, I get that some people can’t eat seafood; either they’re allergic or they just hate it. Which is cool, but why the fuck would you come to a seafood house, then? One night, I have one of these tables. They first bitch about all the fish. I’m crying inside but don’t say anything as I point out sub-10 dollar items on the back of the menu that are not fish or fish-like. Took them 20 minutes to decide on some horrific cheese-covered thing that was apparently French or something. Whatever. Within 20 seconds, their order was being assembled. Every 20 seconds, the man stretches his neck and starts looking for his waiter (which is me). Before he can turn the other direction...I’m there. “Mother likes her food very hot,” he says. He’s already told me 4 times, so the 5th should really make me remember. “Yes sir. Absolutely,” I say or, something equally as ass-kissingly sweet. “Right out the saute pan,” (lol, it was all pre-made and largely microwaved). It was served in a special dish that sat inside a broiler so the food would be extra hot. The cook tops the French Gloop with a fistful of cheese and I watch it melt. I grab the dish with tongs and chuck it on the tray. Ten seconds later, it’s in front of mother. “Oh no...this simply is not hot enough,” says Pa. I make some remark about re-doubling my efficiency. I then serve it three more times with the same result . “Oh...mother likes her food hot. Mother likes hot food. Food....hot food...mother must have it,” I had to endure every permutation. The cook (who is also my stoner buddy) is at this point genuinely confused. “Dude...that shit will not get any hotter unless we flambee the fucker and you serve it on fire. Lucifer doesn’t eat food that hot.” At this point, I come up with a plan: we’ll heat the serving dish until it’s on the verge of melting (or fracture). The radiant heat alone would cook a steak to well-done in under a minute. We leave this dish under the broiler until it glows dull red. Half of the gloop burns away instantly so we add another bag. The cheese is the temp of lava and literally boiling. We add another fistful just in case. My fear is that when I place this in front of mother, the tablecloth will burst into flames. She’s got a can’s worth of hairspray on her blue-haired head, so she’ll likely blow up as well. This would cost me money. (Editor’s Note: Oh my God that sentence is every server I’ve ever known in a nutshell.) Finally, I place the dish in front of her like it’s radioactive. Fuck, it probably is. And for the 4th time, I mention that the outer dish is very hot...do not touch the very hot outer dish. Of course, she grabs the dish with both hands. I can hear the skin sizzling. She can’t pick it up, though. Know why? BECAUSE SHE BURNED THE SKIN FROM HER FINGERS AND THUMBS! She’s essentially pan-seared her hands and fingerprints with it. I’m waiting for her to start screaming, or maybe pass out into a bubbling cheese magma in front of her. She sweetly tells me it’s “perfect” and dishes out half to Pa (yes, they split the entree). They seemed to enjoy the whatever-it-was, and each other’s company. And neither seemed to mind the odor of human flesh that perfumed my station. I did manage to up-sell them dessert, which brought the check total to $30.00. They left a pair of 20 dollar bills and told the manager I was a very nice young man. I never thought something I had a hand in would become a meme, and I sure as hell didn’t expect it to be “mother likes her food very hot.” For a couple days, that shit seemed like it was everywhere. Sometimes I do not understand the internet. It was a hot summer day in Southern California, and I was ten minutes shy of finishing my shift at Starbucks and was super excited about my afternoon plans to see my boyfriend, who lived several hours away and was home for the first time in months. It had been a pleasant morning up until that point, lots of nice regulars, easy traffic, good co-workers, and I was feeling prettay, prettay, prettay good. I’d brought a cute outfit to change into and spent time fussing on my hair that morning, making sure I’d look good when he arrived to pick me up. It was dead at that point, so the manager taking over told me to wrap up early and head out. And then she walked in. This woman was an afternoon regular that I’d seen only a handful of times over the years I’d worked there, since I was usually the opening manager. But I knew exactly who she was and I *thought* I knew exactly what was coming. Only I had no idea how bad it was about to get for me. She usually ordered a Venti (I’m sorry, I know you hate that word) Caramel Frappuccino with two added shots of espresso, which elevated the drink from nasty to nasty plus smelling like dog farts. Sure enough, she ordered her regular drink and I start making it, barely even wrinkling my nose at the smell of the espresso hitting the Frap base. “Make sure you put EXTRA CARAMEL in there,” she hissed, peering at me over the divider. Her eyes were small and darting, following my movements and nodding in agreement with the steps I was taking. I added an extra pump of the caramel syrup and readied the sauce bottle while the drink blended. “I LOVE THE EXTRA CARAMEL!” she reminded me, literally four seconds later. “So make sure you put EXTRA CARAMEL IN THERE!” I assured her I would and she responded by pressing against the plastic divider to get an even better view of her drink being made. Her smooshed up face looked like a eager slice of wet ham as she continued eyeballing me while I poured her drink into the cup. “WAIT!” she shouted, as the cup was half full. “I want caramel in the cup.” Not an uncommon request, but a gross one. I poured her drink back in the blender and did a generous swirl of caramel sauce around the cup. “MORE!” she implored. “Sure, but I added extra in the drink as well, so y’know, it’s gonna be real caramel-y,” I said. This set her the fuck off. “That’s why I said extra caramel! That’s why I order the espresso! EXTRA CARAMEL EXTRA CARAMEL!” she chanted. At this point, the inside of the cup was completely coated in caramel with at least a 1/4 inch of the sauce at the bottom. I poured her drink into the cup, did a nice little dollop of whipped cream and went to give it one last drizzle of sauce before she had another freak out. Except my caramel bottle was empty and now I had to fill a new one. “Just a sec,” I told her, heading to the back to grab a bag of caramel sauce. I heard her say something to my co-worker like, “Can you make sure she puts caramel on top?” and I swear to god, I wanted to run back out there and choke her with the damn drink. Instead I grabbed the bag and headed back out. At the time I worked there the caramel sauce came in these large slug-like bags. You’d snip the corner, jerk it off into a bottle, and yay, everyone is happy (except you because you now hate something as wonderful as caramel). So, I get the bottle full and the bag is about 1/4 full. I know, I KNOW that this nasty Caramel Golem is going to ask me about it. I am bracing myself for it as I snap the lid on her drink and place it on the bar. Even though I logically know where this is heading, I’m still shocked when she asks me for the bag. “I can’t give that out, ma’am. Sorry! Have a good one.” I headed to the back room to grab my stuff, leaving her standing there with her sick drink. I’d just finished changing my shirt and touching up my makeup when I heard a huge crash from the floor. I ran out and sure enough, she was trying to reach over the bar to grab the bag and ended up knocking over a stack of clean pitchers and supplies. Her arm was flailing and half of her body was sprawled out on the bar while my poor coworker was trying to do damage control. “Ma’am, you are going to have to leave now. This behavior is not acceptable and you’re making us uncomfortable,” I explain to her. “Just give me the fucking bag!” “Ma’am, I am happy to add more caramel to your drink but I cannot give out our supplies. We have been very polite to you and now I need to ask that you GO.” She pulled herself upright, drink in hand, and glared at me like I’d never been glared at before. “You. Fucking. BITCH!” she screamed, throwing her drink at me. It hit me in the chest, exploded instantly and covered my whole torso and my hair in a repulsive, sticky mess. I was shocked, adrenaline coursing through my veins, and taking very, very deep breaths so that I wouldn’t leap over the bar and attack her. Before I could do anything, she turned around and ran out. My boyfriend arrived a few minutes later and pitched in to help us clean up, but ughhh. I was just done at that point and wanted to go home and cry/eat pizza in the shower. The next day, my manager informed me that she got the woman’s information off her credit card and reported the whole thing to the police. I don’t know what, if anything, came of it but she never returned to that store again while I was working. The most impressive thing about the story you guys nicknamed Caramel Golem (and there are many, many impressive things about this story) is just how phenomenally well-written it was. I’m not 100% sure I had to make a single edit. That doesn’t happen. 2. Ian Summers: I don’t know what came over me, but this loud, obnoxious jerk (who was in a rush, of course) came running into my restaurant, he kept asking me questions, then interrupting when I tried to answer...and I just lost a little self control. Guy: I’ll take a burger with lettuce and tomato. Me: We don’t have lettuce or toma— Guy: YOU’RE A HOT DOG AND BURGER PLACE AND YOU DON’T HAVE LETTUCE AND TOMATO??? Me: (fed up) No, we’re an alligator and party hat place, and today we’re giving away KAZOOOOOS! ...and then we just stand there staring at each other, because neither one of us knows what the fuck just came out of my mouth. Then the girl standing behind him just starts LOSING it. Like, laughing so hard she can’t breathe, so I start laughing, and now we’re just laughing in this guy’s face. Guy: .........I guess i’ll have a hot dog. I start giggling uncontrollably every time I even think about this story. I can’t for the life of me understand how “KAZOOOOOOS!” didn’t become a BCO meme, especially considering some of the ones that have. Alas, the audience response wasn’t quite strong enough to give it the #1 spot. 1. Callie Rossmeyer: About 8 years ago, when I was in my late teens/early 20’s, I worked at a movie theater. It was the only one in my town and it had exactly one screen, so all the employees shared the various responsibilities (tickets/concessions/cleaning/dicking around while the movie was playing/making the yellowest batch of popcorn possible). This particular day, I was working concessions. We were showing some big blockbuster movie, and being the only theater in town, we got SLAMMED. We had just finished a big rush and the movie is about 15 minutes in when this older couple walks in. The husband orders a large popcorn and a soda, pays, and then his wife approaches the counter. She places both hands on the glass and looks up at me with an expression that I think is best described as all the leftover parts from a preschool Mr. Potatohead set. “Hello! What can I get for you today?” “I would like a box of popcorn.” “Well, we sell it in bags, usually, but I can pour it into a courtesy tray, if that’s better. What size do you want?” “No, I don’t want any size, I just want popcorn in that box.” She points to our cardboard courtesy trays. At this point, I think I get it. Our large popcorns had a free refill and sometimes people would get their refill at the same time as their first bag so they didn’t have to leave the theater during the movie, which we would give them in the “boxes” she kept referring to. “Oh! Did you want the free refill now? I’m happy to do that.” “Nooooo. I don’t want my husband’s popcorn. I WANT MY OWN.” “Right! I can give you the refill now, in one of the courtesy trays and you won’t have to share a bag with your husband.” “NO NO NO. HE needs to keep his refill. I WANT MY OWN POPCORN.” “I TOLD YOU I DON’T WANT A SIZE. Just take some popcorn from over there. Put it in a box. And GIVE. IT. TO. ME.” “...You want free popcorn?” “It’s not free if you give it to me!” “Ma’am. I don’t...I’m sorry. I really don’t know what you mean. If I give you popcorn and you don’t give me money after I give you the popcorn, then it’s free popcorn. And that’s not how this works.” (I am so overwhelmed and confused that I am gesticulating WILDLY) “I can’t just give you stuff.” “It’s not free popcorn! You’re giving it to me! Century Theaters does it all the time for me and they don’t say anything.” My mouth opens and my face falls off and I am so mad at this lady. She is being purposefully obtuse and aggressively confusing. And she’s yelling at me. She sees me weaken. “Just put some popcorn in the box and I won’t have to tell your manager about your rudeness.” I am not afraid of my manager. He is, in fact, standing in my view, hiding in the stock room, and trying very very hard not to laugh. But I have given up. My soul has shriveled and become a sad popcorn kernel inside me. My spirit is but a tiny, weak flame as I repeat the phrase “It’s not free if you give it to me” over and over in my head. I grab a box (I’m calling them boxes now, not courtesy trays because everything I know is wrong and did you know it’s not free if you give it to me?) and am about to fill it, when she says- “You’re making me miss the movie.” My eyeballs light aflame and turn to dust. I am SEETHING. She obviously is used to harassing people into giving her free shit and even though it was just popcorn and basically garbage after this show (the last of the day), I didn’t want her to win. So I put exactly three pieces of popcorn into the FUCKING COURTESY TRAY I DON’T CARE THAT IT’S PEDANTIC THAT’S WHAT IT’S CALLED and slide the tray over to her. She is not satisfied. “I’m going to need more than that.” I take the popcorn scoop and put what amounts to maybe 15 more pieces of popcorn in her tray by letting them fall through the air from the scoop into the tray like a beautiful, angry, yellow waterfall. “OK! There you go! If you want more than that you’re going to have to buy a bag.” She points at my name badge and scowls her stupid potato face scowl and says, “YOU are getting fired, bitch.” Takes the tray with her 20 pieces of popcorn and goes into the movie. A reasonable person might just give up and chalk it up to a crazy, entitled customer and go about the rest of their shift. I was not a reasonable person that day. She called me a bitch! She yelled at me! AND I STILL GAVE HER FREE POPCORN. Sure, it wasn’t a lot, but she still got SOME and I was cranky about it. So with my manager’s blessing, in the last 10 minutes of the show, I scooped up all the popcorn from the popper into our storage bags (essentially garbage bags for popcorn that we kept for the next day’s first showing if we felt like keeping it) and found where she was sitting in the theater. I slung the bag over my shoulder like the fucking Santa Claus of popcorn and sat in the seat directly in front of hers. I put my giant ridiculous garbage bag of popcorn on the seat next to me and ate out of it, in a comically animated way for the rest of the movie. I stuck my whole arm in there, swirled it around, shoved it in my face like cookie monster. It was not dignified. It was not pretty. But it felt so fucking good. Look at all this popcorn! None of it is for you, potato lady! I’m just throwing it on the ground! Here ground! This is for you! Don’t worry chair, it’s not free if I give it to you! I looked absolutely bananas crazy. As far as I know, she never called to complain about me. This is one of the few stories that became a BCO meme along the lines of “save bread” or “allergic to crunchy” or “monogrammed thermoses.” Considering how strongly this one resonated, I don’t see how I could’ve picked any other story for the #1 spot. Do you have a crazy restaurant or other food-industry story you’d like to see appear in Behind Closed Ovens (on ANY subject, not just this one)? Please e-mail WilyUbertrout@gmail.com with “Behind Closed Ovens” in the subject line (or you can find me on Twitter @EyePatchGuy). Submissions are always welcome!

Objects as History Week 2 Our discussion today began with discussing the early stage of Harappa and Mohenjodaro civilisations( The Indus Valley Civilisation. - The first settlement of the Indus Valley Civilisation was somewhere around 10,000-7500 BC,called Mehrgarh.It consisted of huts dug in the ground.Evidences of protodentistry were found in this settlement( i.e. surgical instruments used to remove the tooth.) - Malwa and Jorwe are two other examples of settlements in India. We then begun discussing one of my favourite history topics- Greeks and Romans!( Blame Rick Riordan,honestly. That guy made me read some thick novels in my adolescent years) - The first historian in the world was Xenophon.He wrote a book called Anabasis which was later referred to by Alexander the Great as reference to invade Persia. I then learnt about the absolute madness that was the Pelopanesian War.It was fought between Sparta, Athens, and Persia.And mainly was enlightened about the star of the show, Alkibiades. Alkibiades was kind of a…n unfaithful human, and an interesting psychological case. He would basically help one kingdom against another,and change sides at the last moment,wreaking havoc.Eventually,all the three kingdoms realised that they had one common psychotic enemy,and thus killed him on a united front. We also discussed common objects and their nature in Italy/Greece at that time. - Pots were either decorative or plain.Plain pots would usually be used for cooking and were thus blackened inside. - Copper was used in abundance in Italy,led to the Bronze age. - Diet consisting of wheat,barley,legumes,rice,sheep,goats and pigs. - The cities were poor in terms of planning. Finding seashells near a settlement usually meant trade.Malwa being a coastal settlement,this was something that was commonly found here. Bharuch was another settlement in India,near Gujarat.This was a place that Malwa probably traded with at the time. Idol worship at this time was pretty basic. Bulls and snakes were widely worshipped. Venus of Willendorf was one of the idols worshipped, representing the female fertility which was considered divine at the time. The Deccan Chalcolithic phase also includes Jorwe. The first stage was from 1400 BC -1000 BC,while the second was from 1000 BC-700 BC. Over a span of 200 settlements,there are proper towns,makeshift campsites,and large sites like Diamabad,coming complete with a mud fortification.Mud fortification symbolizes possible threat that these inhabitants were used to. Usually everyone in such settlements would live in small one room settlements,while higher authorities would have multiple rooms.This would occur since a settlement was divided into an upper and lower town,and people who were higher in terms of social strata would live in the upper town,which was better built,while others would live in the lower town,consisting of a basic chessboard-like pattern. Pottery is one of the most important remains of a civilization since they do not easily decompose.Here I came across a very interesting fact. The most difficult colour to make for fabric was purple,while the riskiest colour to obtain was red. Red pigment would usually originate from an ore of mercury HgO (mercuric oxide or Cinnabar),and the slaves were required to work in ore mines which would produce toxic mercury fumes. Purple was extracted from a sea slug/mollusc called Bolinus brandaris.One would need to dive into the depths of the ocean to collect this slug,and several kilos of this animal would probably yield a few grams of colour.Thus purple became the colour of royalty. People would be amputated before they were buried.This was probably to safely bury a man alive.Their material remains would be kept in urns under the drawing rooms.This is what probably lead to the Indian custom of treating the deceased as guardian spirits instead of just someone who’s dead. In this manner,everything that we believe today is basically an idea that mutated into a norm, which we then chose to turn into a belief.Every time a challenge is placed in front of us,the idea mutates accordingly,like a virus adapting to a vaccine.This was again compared to today’s meme culture and how one picture with a caption on a single person’s phone spreads to someone else,like a virus,and eventually everyone understands the context.Then it dies eventually.A change in format and words revives the meme again,and the cycle continues.
The latest short clip to go viral on TikTok captures a fast-escalating encounter between a 65-year-old woman, a man, and a parking enforcement officer. The popular video uploaded by @parkingenforcerer documents the conflict-laden conversation between a group of people who ultimately failed to see eye to eye. The viral TikTok video by @parkingenforcerer captures a fast-escalating discussion with an older woman. Shot on a body camera, it charts how the woman tries to negotiate by claiming that she forgot to put out her parking permit for her apartment building after meeting up with her son and someone who lost their grandchild. Her tone, body language, and style rubbed up internet users the wrong way. Already compared to your average Karen, the woman in the TikTok goes through different states of rage. What's bound to set most viewers off is her sense of entitlement and lack of reserve. Much like the Karen meme, which mocks white women who capitalize on their sense of victimhood, the TikTok clip turns an angered woman into the butt of a joke. "You are not going to have a happy Saturday because I am not happy," she says to the parking enforcement officer at the beginning of the clip. "I have a warning. I'm giving you guys a warning. I know this is your job, but you'd better know my car, and you'd better know who I am. I will make your life hell. I promise you that. I'm so furious about this." Unlike most videos shot on a body cam, the one uploaded by @parkingenforcerer appears to have been edited. After the woman's monologue, the video seems to cut to another scene between the parking enforcement officer and the man who also tries to negotiate. At one point in the TikTok clip, the 65-year-old woman asks the officer to remove their sunglasses. "Take your sunglasses off," the woman implores the parking enforcement officer later on in the clip. "Wish I could see your eyes [because] that's kind of chickens--t to talk to me and not take your damn glasses off." The TikToker has since made their account private. The 3-minute-long clip ends with the man paying the fine. The parking enforcement officer likely made their TikTok profile private after the video started trending. It's uncertain if parking enforcement officers are permitted to use body camera footage for personal purposes, such as distributing it on social media platforms like TikTok. Let's not forget about Tony Piloseno, a former Sherwin-Williams employee who got fired simply for making mind-bogglingly beautiful TikToks capturing how he would mix paints during work hours.
The first of two articles I wrote for a six-part series on getting into Star Wars: Legion (alongside my good friends Zach and LJ) is officially up on the FFG website. A year and a half ago, I started this blog to fill two perceived gaps: the first, a lack of general information aimed at total beginners (like myself) on a still very new, but very fun, game. The second, a lack of understanding of Legion and tabletop wargames broadly on my own part. This blog was was always as much a selfish endeavor as anything else. I strive to be both helpful and competent at whatever thing I’m doing. Nearly a quarter of a million views and 50+ posts later, I feel I’ve achieved that here. I am so fortunate that a number of you have reached out with kind and thankful words to let me know what you learned from Imperial Discipline, and that has meant the world to me. I have always felt welcome in this community. Unfortunately, I find that I’m running out of things to say that haven’t been said better by a dozen talented folks. And so, with that in mind, I’d like to announce that I’m putting Imperial Discipline on indefinite hiatus. Thank you all so, so much for your support and advice and enthusiasm. This project ended up being so much bigger than I dreamed it would be, and I’d rather go out with a totality of work that I’m happy with than stumbling through half-hearted content drops, and I think you’d prefer that, too. (And, of course, winning the Yavin Base Team League with The Admin Menace marks a competitive high point that I am unlikely return to, so I might as well go out on top.) The website won’t go away; far from it. It’ll be up at least another year or two, maybe longer if people still find it useful. Not only will the 500-point format will remain right where it is, we’re in the planning stages for it potentially being on Tabletop Simulator in the future (no promises yet, but we’re hoping). I’ll begin to softly look for someone to take it over in the meantime. The Impact X Archives will stay right here, too. But at the end of the day I think I’ve done the job I set out to do a year and a half ago. There’s less of a need for this blog’s essential purpose these days – a lot of extremely creative and well-informed commanders are out there in the Discord, on the Facebook page, and in the forums giving beginners the advice that I sought to give when I first started out. And they’re doing it even better than I have. It makes me happy, genuinely, to see the community be so supportive and growing and thriving. Legion is truly in a great place and I can’t wait to see where it continues to go. I’ll be right there beside you all excitedly seeing which new units come down the pipe each month. In addition, I’m going to be stepping down from my role as an admin/moderator of the Discord. It’s time to get some new blood in. I’m not going anywhere, don’t worry – you’ll still find me in chat just like before, predicting the impending release of a Darth Jar Jar operative and meme-ing it up with PCGamerPirate. (Fair warning: it’s just sappy thank you’s from here on out, so I’ll understand if you hit the ‘X’ button at this point.) Working with that admin team has been a real highlight, and I’m going to miss my regular chats with them just to keep ourselves sane. LJ especially has been an instrumental part of my entire Legion experience and is an invaluable member of the community. I have no doubt I will continue to bug him for his advice on totally unrelated matters. Thank you as well to the Legion creative team that I’ve gotten to meet and interact with – you have all created something really fantastic and I’m glad I got to be a small part of helping people latch onto it. A number of you in the community of content creators as well have been incredibly kind to me, and I’m so thankful for your support and collaboration. It would take forever to name you all, but if we’ve ever exchanged messages assume that I’m talking about you. I look forward to seeing what you do next. And lastly a huge thank you to everyone over at the Fifth Trooper Network – the Scoundrels, of course – Kyle, Mike, and Dave – whose opinions I’ve sought a number of times, and Evan from 5T, but especially Jay. You gave me my first and my second and my third and my (nth) podcast opportunities, and for that and everything else you did for me I’ll be eternally grateful. The Northeast Open was one of the best weekends I’ve ever had. I have to assume with me out of the picture you’ll have sights on assuming complete control of the Legion-sphere and I wish you the best in that pursuit. Thank you again, and may the Force be with you. Always. When it comes to the hobby side of things, one of the questions I often see beginners pose in the Facebook group and on the Discord is: what’s the best way to make my units look distinct on the battlefield? It’s a good question, and one I struggled with at the start. At first, I intended to paint each Stormtrooper unit with a different color pauldrons, but ended up settling on something different (which you can see at the end). But my story is just one, and so I went to the Discord users for some help. I received a ton of photo submissions after asking very nicely, so thank you to everyone who submitted their unique take on differentiating Legion units. A Galaxy of Choices Shown below are three user submissions, ranging from simple and obvious to advanced and nuanced. Following those three is a photo of my own design. I hope you find these useful for inspiring your own creativity! Without further ado: 1) Simple and Clean 2) Stylish and Clear 3) A Nuanced Take 4) Groggy’s War Dogs Hopefully this has helped you figure out what to do for differentiating your units. If you’ve got other ideas or suggestions, leave them in the comments below. Happy differentiating, Commanders! Over the last year and a half, it has been my distinct pleasure to write about Star Wars: Legion for beginners. I have now upwards of fifty posts and well over a hundred thousand views, demonstrating how important this content is to newbies across the world. And so it is with great pleasure that I can announce a more consolidated welcome to the dual hobby of Star Wars: Legion, and a more cohesive Total Beginner’s Guide (also linked in the top menu). I am indebted to my friends LJ Peña of the Legion Tournament Circuit and Jay Shelanksey of the Fifth Trooper for their help with this project. Jay created the embedded video at my request and did an absolutely amazing job of it. Please go visit their respective sites and say nice things to them in the Discord. On that note, if you’re a beginner don’t forget to join the Legion Discord (linked to the right) to talk shop and rub elbows with thousands of fantastic Legion players. You’re welcome there, and we’ll be excited to have you! So happy learning, Commanders. And may the Force be with you. FFG Released the promised points update a day early. You can find the full listing in the new RRG, starting on Page 75. On today’s (September 3rd, 2019) FFG Live stream, Legion developers Alex Davy and Luke Eddy were joined by Matt Holland (FFG OP) to showcase the new Luke and Vader operatives as well as talk points changes and errata updates in the near future. A VOD of the stream can be found at the above link. The FFG team is “not overhauling things rapidly,” but making more of a “surgical strike” according to Alex and Luke. These were based on data from tournaments and “extensive playtesting.” Alex and Luke said that future points updates will be minor, perhaps once a year at most. This is “not the full list,” which will be coming September 6th to take effect at a later date (specified in the upcoming living document), but merely a preview. These will be listed in a “living document” on the website. They will not be reprinting cards for a number of reasons, including that they are only for “competitive play” and because these points may change again in the future. (Although Matt Holland at one point did mention talking to OP about providing alt arts with the new points/errata.) Here all confirmed points changes from the stream: Rebel Points Changes/Errata - T-47 Airspeeder going from 175 points to 140 points - Mo/DK Power Harpoon going from 8 points to 3 points - AX-108 “Groundbuzzer” going from 20 points to 10 points - All weapons going to 20 points, major decrease - 1.4 FD Laser Cannon Team’s Laser Cannon upgraded to Range 1-5 - First-ever instance of Range 5! - CM-O/93 (Rebel Veterans) going from 31 points to 26 points - MPL-57 Ion Trooper (Rebel Troopers) going from 32 points to 24 points Imperial Points Changes/Errata - AT-ST going from 195 points to 170 points - 74-Z Speeder Bikes going from 90 points to 75 points - E-Web Heavy Blaster Team - Plodding keyword has been removed (single move per turn) - HH-12 Stormtroopers going from 34 points to 26 points General Points Changes/Errata - Saber Throw going from 10 points to 5 points - Force Reflexes going from 15 points to 10 points - Targeting Scopes going from 8 points to 6 points - Barrage Generator going from 10 points to 7 points - Sniper Strike Teams (not full unit) - Up to 20 points from 16 points - Rifles changed to Range 5 max, down from infinite There are no Droid/Clone errata or point changes expected in the near future, although obviously they will be on the table down the line. There are a “small handful” of points increases for units they felt were “too dominant” but no specifics mentioned just yet (outside of Strike Teams). After briefly discussing the points updates, Luke and Alex played a game with the erratas/point changes and the new Vader and Luke Operatives. My apologies for not getting the spoiled details on the new operatives, I’m sure other outlets will have them. Their lists are below. Luke’s Rebel list: Alex’s Imperial list: I’ve reached a point in my blogging where if I’m not careful, all of my new content is simply reductive of things I’ve done in the past. And, indeed, the easiest possible version of a Geonosis basing tutorial for your lovely Droid armies would see me essentially recreate my How to Create a Tatooine Desert Base, but this time using Martian Ironcrust instead of Agrellan Earth (plus a bit of drybrushing, of course). Now, don’t get me wrong: you absolutely can (and, perhaps, if you’re pressed for time should) use that product to make a super simple, super appealing Geonosis base. But I’ve come to expect more from myself, and I hope you’ve come to expect more of me as well. So instead of taking the easy way out, I’m going to try and make something a bit more thematic but still entirely beginner-friendly. Here’s what you’ll need. - Citadel’s Stirland Battlemire Texture - Orange, brown, and beige paint - An FFG Premium Trooper base - A drybrush - Some loose sprues and super glue Let’s get started. Geonosis was the first capital of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, and played host to a number of battle droid foundries. After the Clone Wars, the Death Star would be built in its orbit. Its surface is irradiated, crag-marked, and hostile. So instead of just going for the red, cracked soil, we’re going to add in a bit of easy industrial flair based on what we already have in front of us. 1) Apply the Texture To begin, prime your base (I’m going to do one example of each: a premium FFG base, and a regular base) black. If you’re using a premium trooper base, paint a neutral gray over the whole thing, let it dry, and then apply your Stirland Battlemire texture. It’ll come out looking significantly more brown than the image on the right. It’s going to take a few hours to dry. Don’t worry about putting it on super thickly, just lay it on haphazardly and you’ll get a good natural look like the GW image on the right. If you’re using a premium trooper base, leave some grating or indentations exposed; we’re going for an abandoned industrial look. 2) Drybrush Up Using brown, orange, and beige, do three drybrush passes. You can see the approximate colors I used below: a burnt orange heavy on the brown, a burnt orange heavy on the orange, and a straight beige color. - Heavy drybrush, dark brown - Medium drybrush, orange - Very light drybrush, beige If you’re using the premium trooper base, don’t be afraid to give some light passes on the exposed surface as well. Don’t go overboard, but naturally some silt would have settled down anyways so a bit of color will only enhance the theme. 3) Add Some Scrap (Optional) Take some of the sprue frames you had lying around from your droids and cut them into small, pipe-looking bits. Stack them haphazardly, glue them together, then prime and paint them. Then, simply glue them off to one side of your base for your droid to stand next to. Voila, some easy and free metal waste for your Geonosis-themed base. Once you’re all done, they should come out looking something like this: I ended up going more for dusty brown than orange-red. But go with whatever aesthetic best fits your taste! Geonosis is a big planet, after all. I hope you enjoyed this tutorial! As always, if you use this to inspire your own bases, please leave some notes or photos in the comments, on Facebook, in the Discord, or on the FFG forums. I’d love to see your handiwork! Happy basing, Commanders. Like it or not, Legion is moving to sprues. For some of you, this will immediately revive memories (good or bad) of Warhammer and other hard plastic-based miniatures games and bits of glue all over your fingers. Funnily enough, I never played Warhammer – all of my experience with sprues comes from the occasional LotR mini and a recent passion for gunpla models. For others, you’re coming into this territory as a blank slate and you’ve got no idea what’s next. As is tradition on Imperial Discipline, this article is for you. Let’s begin at the beginning: a sprue is a channel or mold through which plastic is poured to create your minis. You might also call it a runner or a plate, depending on which other hobbies you’re joining us from. Instead of the usual Legion models being out on their own, models on sprues will be separated out into parts and locked into a larger frame through lengths of plastic. Remember that not all Legion minis will be moving to sprues – at least, not right away. To begin with, only the CIS Droid Army will be hard plastic. Clones will still be the soft snap-fit you’ve gotten used to for the last year and a half. Before we move on, check out Crabbok’s excellent unboxing video of the Clone Wars Core Set to check out how those droids look in person, especially if you’ve never seen or worked with a sprue before: The Why: Moving from Soft to Hard Droids are skinny but still need to be rigid. In that sentence, you have more or less the entirety of the argument for FFG moving to hard plastic. If you’ve unboxed and painted up a set of the Imperial Royal Guard, you probably know how big of a pain skinny and rigid is to get right for soft plastic. Their staff weapons were a bit sloppy and droopy, even after trying to re-mold them with hot water. It’s passable for a single unit, but when a whole army is at stake, it’s obviously important to get the structure right. But this also represents an investment from FFG in Legion: higher quality minis that are more expensive to produce but allow for more detail. I have no doubt that the sculptors are thrilled to be moving to hard plastic. There’s a feeling that they’ve pushed the soft stuff to its breaking (bending?) point, and it’s time to move on. Having said all of that, the switch to hard plastic will require a bit of adaptation from players who aren’t already prepared. Next, let’s talk about what you need to succeed. What You Need - Plastic glue - Hobby knife I’m going to loosely group this into “glue” and “everything else” for one particular reason: remember when I mentioned my gunpla (a portmanteau of Gundam and plastic) at the top of the page? As it turns out, for $8 USD you can go to Amazon and get a fantastic gunpla toolkit with nippers to cut the minis from the plastic runners, files and knives to remove nubs, and pliers to more accurately handle your miniatures. It’s a steal, and I can speak to the better-than-you-expect quality level of those items: I use them myself frequently. (If you have no idea what half of those words mean, check out the below Warhammer video about building Space Marines – it’ll help a ton.) - Use the nippers to clip the mini parts from the frame - Use the hobby knife or nippers to remove any large remaining nubs - Use files to provide a clean finish as needed Once you’ve cut your minis from the runners, however, you’ll still need to assemble them. Whereas before we could get away with regular super glue, we’ll now want to switch to plastic glue. The former is a standard bonding adhesive for a wide variety of materials, but the latter – plastic glue – actually melts the plastic together, making an even stronger bond than regular super glue. Your local hobby or hardware store should have some in stock, but if you’re ever in doubt it’s totally fine to go with Citadel Plastic Glue – if nothing else, it’s just a safe bet. That about wraps things up. Don’t forget to share your thoughts in the comments here on the blog, on Facebook, and on the FFG forums, or ping me in the Discord (kevnobi – Imperial Discipline). Happy sprue-ing, Commanders! It’s that time again! Every six months or so I’ve created a buying guide for prospective and beginner players, and with the prequels nearly out it’s time to review what we know about the Imperial and Rebel armies. Much of this is copy-pasted from the last article, but with important updates. A Welcome, and Some Context Detailed below is my best attempt at a buying guide based on the current state of the game, as well as what we might expect moving forward based on the info we have now. A word of caution: unless you are 100% sure you’ll want to invest a lot of money in this game, I would stick with one faction to start with, either Rebels or Imperials (or, of course, you could wait for the Clone and Droid armies). They’re reasonably balanced at this point (generally speaking Imperials favor their big, expensive toys like Vader or the Occupier Tank, while Rebels favor a larger number of expendable units) so just go for whatever you like best. You might also consider trying the game on Tabletop Simulator first to see which army fits your play-style better. That way, you can get a feel for the game and see which units you’d like to buy before you go out and spend a bunch of money. Similarly, check out videos-on-demand from any of the YouTube/Twitch channels or read up on any of the blogs on my Resources page to see what people are saying about your preferred faction. Further, check out the single elimination lists from Season 3 of the Invader League to see what lists are doing reasonably well right now. If you see one that really strikes your fancy on either side, you can use the below list to build towards it. Before you read this list, I’d encourage you to read over my very first buying guide, which goes over army requirements. My original buying guide for paint and other supplies is still valid, but the pieces below have been updated to factor in all the new units we’ve gotten since the game’s release. You can purchase all of these units through your local game store, Amazon, or the Fantasy Flight Games website. And finally, don’t be afraid to pop into the Legion Discord (link to the right) and ask questions before you buy. Everyone there would be happy to help! NOTE: This is not a ranking of unit strength. This is what I believe to be an accurately ranked list of the purchases that make most sense for a new player given their overall strength, utility, and cost. UPDATE AS OF 9/3/19: FFG has announced a points change and unit errata. See my blog post for more information about this update, which will raise the stock of a number of lower-performing units. Legion Core Set ($90 USD) Perhaps it’s obvious, but if you do not already have the Legion Core Set, you absolutely need to get it to play the game. Inside you’ll get the following miniatures: - Darth Vader - Stormtroopers x 2 - 74-Z Speeder Bikes - Luke Skywalker - Rebel Troopers x 2 In addition, you’ll get 8 barricades, 4 range ruler segments, 3 movement templates, and all the command, upgrade, and objective cards you’ll need to get started. All of that is enough to do a simple two-player demo game, but won’t give you enough for a full 800-pt army from either faction (the specifics of which are detailed a bit more in my original buying guide). To fully expand your army, take a look at the options below. …Another Core Set ($90 USD) “But I just bought a core set,” you might say. “Why should I get another one?” At the end of the day, the Core Set is the best bang for your buck. The base cost is $90 USD, but as of writing it’s on sale on Amazon for $70 USD. And if you were to buy the units individually… - Stormtroopers ($20 USD x 2 = $40 USD) - 74-Z Speeder Bikes ($15 USD) - Rebel Troopers ($20 USD x 2 = $40 USD) - AT-RT ($15 USD) - Dice Pack ($15 USD) - Range Rulers and Movement Templates ($15 USD) - TOTAL = $140 USD Assuming you were to buy the Core Set at a slight discount of $70, you’d get all the units for your side at the same price plus a free dice pack and all the units for the other side as well. It’s a no-brainer for most Legion players and gets you very close to a viable full army on either side. And here’s the thing: most of the units in the original core set are still the ones you want. No army is complete without Rebel Troopers and Stormtroopers. Luke is still perhaps the best unit in the game. Vader, AT-RTs, and Bikes have fallen off a bit but are certainly still worthwhile units. If you’re worried about price, check eBay or one of the Legion buy/sell/trade groups on Facebook (or even players at your local game store!) to see about splitting one or both of your cores for a reduced price. It’s a fairly common practice in the community. General Veers, Stormtroopers, Scout Troopers (Imperial) Leia Organa, Rebel Troopers, Rebel Commandos (Rebel) To flesh out your armies, you’ll want a second commander in either Veers or Leia, and you’ll want to fill in your remaining trooper units. It’s extremely common to see players running the maximum of six trooper units in powerful lists; two core sets puts you at four of each, and you can easily bring yourself to five or six now. Further, the current meta has two to three Strike Teams as nearly indispensable (certainly in the form of snipers, or perhaps the gutsy triple-bomber lists popularized by Daniel Lupo-Albritton. Many people may dislike the sniper-heavy meta, but I would be remiss to not make this point clear for you. The B Tier is where you’re fielding a mostly realized army, but the C Tier is where you’ll start to make distinct competitive choices. Imperial Specialists, Boba Fett, Bossk, Director Krennic, Death Troopers (Imperial) Rebel Specialists, Han Solo, Sabine Wren (Rebel) Previously, the C Tier was home to things like the AT-ST. It was about faction identity and big toys. Instead, we now find that once you’ve picked up two main commanders, enough corps units, and a handful of snipers, you’ve got a couple of choices left for you to decide what kind of list you’d like to run. On the Imperial side, would you prefer to run Director Krennic and his Death Troopers, or one or two bounty hunters? (Or, perhaps, run them together as I did at the Northeast Open with a Krennic/Boba/DT list.) On the Rebel side, who are you pairing with Luke or Leia? Han is a wily scoundrel who can be tough to play but devastating with his Gunslinger and Sharpshooter abilities, while Sabine’s Explosions! card is one of the biggest booms in the game. And finally, consider picking up one or two Specialists packs. The medics alone are worth it, but the added flexibility of a comms unit and a generic officer bring a ton of options to your gameplay. Occupier Tank, Snowtroopers, Palpatine, Royal Guard (Imperial) Chewbacca, Wookiee Warriors, Pathfinders, Jyn Erso, X-34 Landspeeder (Rebel) Now we’re back to the big fun toys that are less than necessary but still a real joy to play. For Imperials, the Occupier Tank is easily the best available vehicle. Snowtroopers have fallen out of favor in the recent meta, but are still heinously fun at range one. And the Emperor and his Royal Guard can be difficult to play, but are still absolutely viable (see Eric Riha at Worlds). Rebels bring in a couple of popular names and their cohorts in Chewie and Jyn – they’re certainly not challenging Luke or Leia’s longstanding supremacy, but they have their own unique playstyles and look great on the board. Plus, the Landspeeder is a sneakily good unit for flanking and surprise attacks. E-Web Heavy Blaster, 74-Z Speeder Bikes, AT-ST (Imperial) 1.4 FD Laser Cannon, AT-RT, Fleet Troopers (Rebel) This far down the list, we approach units that can be slotted into many a competitive list by smart players, but are far from necessary. Only purchase these units if you really like their look or feel, not because you think they’ll be hyper competitive. I stanned AT-STs for quite some time, but unfortunately the Occupier Tank is just a better unit right now. And Speeder Bikes have come a long way from the dominant Veers/3x Bikes lists of the earliest meta. Similarly, triple AT-RTs went out of style a while ago, and it’s rare to see one on the board anymore. So with the one or two from your original core set, it is pretty well unnecessary to buy another. I expect Fleet Troopers to be potentially my most controversial pick this low, but I genuinely believe they take a skilled hand to command well, and are not an optimal choice for beginners. T-47 Airspeeder (Rebel) And finally, still perhaps the lone truly “bad” unit, the T-47 Airspeeder (which you might also know as the Hoth Snowspeeder from Empire Strikes Back) is sadly also one of the prettiest models in the game right now. Its weak guns and low health pool don’t quite make up for its high cost. It’s a beautiful mini and a blast to paint, but if you’re looking to be competitive off the bat skip this one for now. And maybe forever, or at least until we get a good fix for it. Unreleased At Time of Writing: Shoretroopers, Dewbacks (Imperial) Rebel Veterans, Tauntauns (Rebel) Of course it’s impossible to predict the exact impact of upcoming units, but all four of the above expansions look to shake things up. Especially on the Rebel side, Tauntauns have the possibility of radically overhauling the Luke/Leia-heavy Rebel meta. And new mechanics for the two corps units promise to provide some fun new options, especially looking at suppression-heavy Imperial lists. As always, leave your comments below for agreements and disagreements. There’s plenty of discussion to be had on this subject, and I’m sure you all have many thoughts of your own. I hope that you enjoy your welcome into the Legion community – it’s a great game that’s only going to get better over time, and the current meta is a fantastic place to dive in. Best of luck, Commanders! The Prequel Core Set is just around the corner, but the Empire and Rebellion are still alive and well. I’m happy to be joined on the blog this week for the second time by my Legion (and X-Wing TMG Slack) compatriot and friend PCGamerPirate, who has consistently impressed me with his versatile and cost-effective terrain work. He wrote this article at my request, and I’m extremely pleased to present it as part of my ongoing Terrain Tutorials series, where we focus on cheap and easy solutions to terrain for the budding hobbyist. If you have questions or just want to say hello, be sure to ping him in the Legion Discord! Craters are a great piece of scatter area terrain that can add some variety to any battlefield. They don’t block line of sight but they typically provide light cover for units inside them while being difficult terrain to traverse, leading to more interesting strategic choices. Craters are also incredibly inexpensive to make. What you’ll need: - Foam board - Chip board - Glue stick - Mod Podge - 4 shades of brown - White glue 1) Cut Your Shapes First, decide how big you want your crater to be; a good way to do this is to use actual minis. Trace the rough outline on your foam board, like below. Take your crater and roughly cut the shape out. This will be your inner crater. Then measure and cut a slightly larger circle than the original crater. Cut a rough star pattern in your inner crater and trace the outer portion onto some chipboard. Peel all the paper off of the foam board. 2) Glue it All Together Using a glue stick, glue all your pieces together. Using a glue stick will help prevent warping. 3) Texture the Crater Cut the center of the crater out using a craft knife, go all the way to the chip board. Widen the hole using your fingers, picking out pieces of foam to make a rough texture. Do this same picking technique on the star pattern of the outside of the crater. Using your craft knife, bevel the edge of the outer foam. Next, make a foil ball and roll it around the foam to texture it. Finally, take scrap pieces you picked out of the foam and scatter it on the foam (using the glue stick to secure it). Allow this to dry. Alternatively, you can make the crater shape with ballast and sand. Using white glue, draw the star burst pattern on your foam and cover in ballast. (Note: I only used one layer of foam this time) In the center, run your glue back and forth in a circle and cover with sand. 4) Seal in Mod Podge After letting everything dry, seal the entire crater in mod podge. I mix black paint with my mod podge to add a nice base coat and help mark coverage. Both pieces will be painted in the same general manner. You’ll want to use at least 4 shades of brown: khaki, terrestrial beige, brown, chocolate bar. First, base the entire thing in brown using a sponge. While still wet, do a light sponge of terrestrial beige, then a lighter sponge of khaki. Finally, starting from the center of the crater, do a heavy sponge of the chocolate onto the crater starburst. This simulates darker earth being ejected onto lighter dirt. Conclude with sponging black and greys in the very center of the crater to make the crater scorched. If you used sand to texture your crater, you can dry brush the lighter browns instead of sponging. By painting them in generic browns, these craters work on nearly every kind of terrain. For example, they look like they belong on a grassy field next to Yavin ruins. However, you can further integrate your craters with flocking on the edges. It can be intimidating to hop into the world of tabletop war games when you’ve never painted a miniature in your life. Thankfully, there are a lot of great, inexpensive products for you to choose from that will serve you well. But before we get there – let’s take a look at the types of paint you’ll need to get started, the big brands that exist in the tabletop world, and what I personally recommend for beginning hobbyists. 1) Types of Paint First things first: you’re looking for Acrylic paint. Why? The other type of miniature paint, enamels, is generally too thick, too hard to mix, worse for your brushes, and harder to remove if necessary. Also, it’s toxic. Acrylics are cheaper, easier to use, and non-toxic! And, specifically, you’re looking for acrylics made for miniature painting, because the smaller pigments allow you to get more definition and details on your models than standard student-quality acrylics. But within even that subset of acrylics, there are four primary types of paint you’re looking for: Unlike some beginner-focused miniatures, Legion models are not pre-primed. What does that mean? Well, paint won’t stick to the mini’s surface unless you prime it with a special type of paint that allows other paints to stick. There are a number of different primer brands to use, but the main thing to know is that you’ll generally want to buy primers that are specifically for miniatures. Some generalist brands, like Krylon, can actually work just fine. But others will come out too splotchy on miniatures and should be avoided. In an ideal world, you’d start with black, grey, and white primers – the color of your primer can affect the end result of the paint you put on top, making it darker or lighter. But if that sounds like too much for an initial buy-in, just go for a neutral grey tone. It won’t affect your colors much at all, and will instill better long-term habits than the usual advice I see of purchasing only black primer. The obvious: you’re here to paint things different colors. The vast majority of paints in your arsenal are going to be for doing exactly that, and the longer you’re in this hobby the more random colors you’re likely to have. To begin with, though, a dozen or so colors will almost certainly be enough to get you through whatever you need. Legion is especially good for this: you can paint the entire Imperial core set convincingly with brown, black, white, and red (plus green and blue for embellishments). Shades or washes serve to add depth to your miniatures, and are applied after you’ve gotten a base coat of color down. Washes are made up of a medium (like water), the pigment (the paint), and a surfactant, which reduces surface tension. All of these add up to allow the wash to flow into the nooks and crannies of your miniature, where you would expect shadows. Mostly these will come in black and brown (Army Painter is especially known for their brown quickshade “dip and flick” method), but you can find plenty of color-based washes in most major paint lines. You might see these occasionally referred to as “liquid magic” – and indeed, the first few times you take a well-based model and throw a clean wash on it can be breathtaking. Some (but not all) brands also have something called technical paints: these create specific effects instead of just adding color. Vallejo has a rust & corrosion set, for instance, but certainly the most well-known line of these comes from Citadel. I use their Leadbelcher color for gunmetal constantly, and rely heavily on Typhus Corrosion for rust effects. Metallic effects can also fall under this branch, depending on how intricately they’ve been designed (a regular dropper of gold from Vallejo, for instance, is not – but Citadel’s Runelord Brass, which I used to great effect when creating a Sheev statue, certainly is). 2) The Big Three For beginners, it is absolutely best to begin with one of the big three paint lines – they’ll give you some combination of the best prices, the best quality, the best selection, and the best availability. - Army Painter - Citadel (Games Workshop) At the end of the day, if you buy any of these three you’re going to be just fine. If I were to include a fourth there it might be Reaper – I own a couple of their paints but just have a personal preference for Vallejo. The primary difference for beginners is that Army Painter and Vallejo (and Reaper) come in dropper bottles, and Citadel comes in pots (you can see the difference visually above). I have personally preferred dropper bottles from the beginning since it’s easier to control the amount of paint you’re putting in your palette without overusing a brush, and they’re less likely to accidentally dry out. Contrast Paints from Games Workshop recently became available, and I’ve had plenty of people ask about these as well. I stand by Miniac’s review of these paints: they’re great for speedpainting, but they’re not so groundbreaking that beginners should feel the need to get them. Indeed, I think you’re much better off learning how to actually shade and highlight your minis first and then switching over (if so desired) once you’re comfortable and want to knock things out quickly. And, of course, models like Bossk with lots of colors and ridges and details will looks better with contrast paints than flatter models like Vader or Krennic. 3) Imperial Discipline Recommends… Taking all the above into account, here is what I personally recommend for beginners. Prepare your hot takes lasers. Please note that I never use referral links and do not make money from the products listed below. I like Tamiya Fine Surface Primer ($12 USD), but Krylon and Citadel (nearly double the cost but a fairly large can) are just fine. Like I said above, ideally you’d get white, grey, and black primer. But if you must start somewhere, get a neutral grey color. I purchased the 16-color Vallejo Basic USA Colors Set ($40 USD) when I started painting in 2018, and most of the colors still haven’t run out. I can’t recommend this set enough. Similarly, the 10-color Army Painter Hobby Starter Set ($29 USD) comes with a great array of bold colors for mixing, plus a free strong tone wash and a detail brush. You might also choose to wait until the Star Wars Legion-specific paint set comes out in Q3 of 2019. I would recommend against Citadel pots for basic colors to begin with: they’re more expensive, and are better for people with more hobby experience. Army Painter is a strong second place, but the wide range of colors from Citadel’s shade line and their mini-painting-magic nature puts Citadel on top. Here, again, I’ll recommend a couple of Citadel products because they just do it best. At minimum, I think you should pick up Leadbelcher ($8 USD) for metal parts like guns and vehicle bits. I go through this stuff like candy. If you’re planning on really gunking up your vehicles, you might also pick up Typhus Corrosion ($8 USD) for a solid rust effect. Stormhost Silver ($8 USD) is my other favorite metallic. And there you have it. Now, as a reminder: this is just my opinion. There are very few ways to go wrong with your paint choice if you stay in the accepted miniature family, and especially in that “Big Three” area. But given my own experience and the experiences of those I’ve talked to, I genuinely believe that this is the best way for a new hobbyist to start their journey. Don’t forget to check out the Five Steps to Table-Ready Minis once you’ve purchased your paints! Happy painting, Commanders!
It’s been a rough couple of weeks for DaBaby fans, and indeed anybody who prefers to attend rap concerts without a side dose of ill-informed bigotry. You’ll likely have seen it for yourself by now, but the situation can be summarised as thus; during his performance at Miami’s Rolling Loud Festival, the rapper shouted out fans who had attended without “HIV/AIDS – one of them deadly sexually transmitted diseases”, and made disparaging references to homosexual activity in parking lots. He also bought out Tory Lanez (more on that later) and followed the whole thing up with a string of tweets about how people who don’t understand ‘the culture’ have no business criticising what goes on at his shows. As the criticism amplified, the festival cancellations began; Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits, iHeartRadio, Parklife. As with most trending topics of this nature, his de-platforming has already become a meme; this summer, DaBaby will not be performing at your local prom, dining establishment or seemingly, anywhere. Though homophobia is still sadly prevalent in many aspects of popular culture, the rap space perhaps has more history of it than most. There have been decades of lyrics that normalise the use of the F-word, that trade ‘gay’ or ‘AIDS’ as synonyms for something being uncool or gross. Whether a purposeful barb or a crowd-following use of slang, such lexicon trickles down to fans, picking up intolerance and misinformation along the way. You can easily see how a millennial rapper like DaBaby might have picked up such awful rhetoric, but also why LGBTQIA+ fans and allies might feel torn about loving a style of music that never seems to love them back. “I was pretty perplexed, to be honest; his comments just seemed to be out of absolutely nowhere, with no context,” says Cameron, a fan of US rap and a member of the LGBTQIA+ community. “I thought he was joking at first, then the posts afterwards just added further embarrassment. Not only was he wrong on several accounts, but what he said was harmful to everyone, not just the LGBTQ+ community. I wouldn’t say that I got comfort from everyone on IG/Twitter coming for him, but was the reaction needed? Absolutely.” For Cameron, the resulting online discourse hasn’t necessarily helped matters. “The memes may be ‘funny’ and informative to us, but going forward, with artists like Da Baby, I feel they need further educating on the facts vs the misinformation that they’re spreading. In most situations, there’s always room for improvement and bettering yourself on a subject, not just putting out a regular Instagram ‘sorry’ post and continuing past behaviours. I hope he’s learned his lesson from this; cancellation can’t be a good feeling.” Cameron’s point about education touches on an interesting context to our current climate of whistle-blowing. DaBaby’s comments were clearly unacceptable, misinformed and entirely irrelevant to the situation or his supposed point. They needed to and fully deserved to be called out; they are rooted in the stigmatisation of HIV and AIDS as some sort of choice uncleanliness, a stigma that many organisations and individuals throughout history have worked so hard to correct. And yet it is still entirely possible that he, in his ignorance, actually thought he was being funny in some way, or else paying a compliment to his own gay fanbase as being some kind of class above. Does this make things any better? Worse? Does it make any difference at all? Clearly the subsequent double-down and self-centring apology doesn’t help matters, nor does the outcry of fellow rappers such as TI who claim that DaBaby is being bullied for being ‘honest’. Something clearly needs to change, but is there anything about the current climate of rap for LGBTQIA+ fans to feel hopeful about? “There’s certainly been some change, but I think this is still outweighed by a majority resistance,” says Hayden, a pop-culture writer and music fan. “If we consider some of Tyler, the Creator’s recent work we can see greater visibility of same-sex attraction in rap music. But then we see other rap artists like Eminem responding to him with homophobic slurs in diss tracks. As if that wasn’t enough, many have questioned whether Tyler is actually LGBTQ+ or simply queer-baiting for the sake of being provocative. Whichever way you look at it, queerness always seems to be the joke, the sucker punch in a diss track or a costume. There’s a complete lack of understanding and respect. Then we have people like Lil Nas X, who are fiercely pushing queer perspectives in rap and in pop culture, but who receive outrageous backlash from all sides.” “We absolutely need more representation, but I don’t think it’s as simple as ‘we need more gay rappers’. The difficulty is that the presence of gay rappers inherently pushes that ‘otherness’, and widens the gap between progressive rap and the old guard. If a queer rapper has an incredible pen and superb showmanship, both of those things will be secondary to their queerness. And while homophobia exists in the culture as a whole, that won’t change. So I think there needs to be an industry-wide validation of queer perspectives, which is a cultural conversation rather than a specifically music-oriented one. Prolific figures in the culture must use their platforms to speak up for queer artists and speak out against ignorance – I’m talking radio, on social media, or on the mic at a show. If DaBaby’s comments showed anything, it’s that hate and misinformation is socially taught. Therefore, there’s so much un-learning that needs to happen in tandem before we can say ‘hey, here’s this cool queer artist’. In the bid to encourage useful unlearning that goes further than simply cancelling one artist, it is interesting to consider what it is about the current climate that has allowed DaBaby’s downfall to be quite so swift. At the risk of whataboutism, he is hardly the first rapper to cast aspersions on the gay community, but he is amongst the first to have had it shut down quite so many opportunities in such quick succession. The elevated awareness around both Coronavirus-misinformation and Pride Month likely plays a part, as does the ability to directly monitor the optics of your fanbase. Festivals are businesses after all, and Twitter provides a public perception litmus test that is stronger than ever before, allowing organisers to make swift assessments of who or what might be harmful to their brand. With important sociopolitical movements such as Black Lives Matter and #MeToo existing so visibly online, conversations around sexuality and gender tolerance are also coming to the fore, helping to challenge intolerance or lack of education. The increasing vocal presence of huge key LGBTQIA+ figures such as Demi Lovato, Lil Nas X and Miley Cyrus also helps, although as with Black Lives Matter, we do need to be careful of passing the emotional labour of education onto those who are most harmed by the problematic behaviour itself. In this situation, the buck must end with DaBaby himself. Great swathes of reporting may have focused on ‘Levitating’ collaborator Dua Lipa’s response, or on Lil Nas X, who shrewdly redirected a ‘statement’ to his new single, Industry Baby, while Miley Cyrus has reached out to DaBaby in his DM’s with an offer of education. It’s a generous offer, but it’s a conversation she shouldn’t have to have — according to reports, DaBaby’s label Interscope are said to have been “extremely upset” by his remarks, and will hopefully take up the responsibility of speaking with him about his conduct going forth. For many black female fans, LGBTQIA+ and otherwise, DaBaby’s ongoing affiliation with Tory Lanez (currently under a restraining order following his alleged shooting of Megan Thee Stallion) should have been enough to shut him down already, not to mention a 2020 altercation where he hit a female fan in the face. When it comes to public outcry, are the concerns of black women still lowest on the list? Either way, DaBaby’s behaviours have been problematic for some time, and whether you believe in ‘cancel culture’ or not, harmful words and actions do eventually have consequences. In calling out his words at Rolling Loud, we show homophobic rap fans that they would also do well to re-evaluate any problematic prejudices, or else otherwise mind their own business. But as DaBaby’s streaming numbers inevitably go up in the wake of his increased column inches, it’s also a good moment to step back and think about how we can support those who are demonstrating helpful representation, whether that be through an embodiment of their own sexuality or simply through open, inclusive allyship. “I definitely think Kevin Abstract is the future of rap as far as LGBTQ+ representation,” says Hayden. There’s a liberating amount of specificity in his lyrics that really feels like he’s prodding at the tired, outdated, heteronormative rap world. He lets his pen do the talking, and doesn’t do all that many interviews, so I feel like his queerness doesn’t often get sensationalised or reduced to a headline. I’m continuously grateful also to straight rappers like Vince Staples, who represent so much of rap’s hard edge but have collaborated with some wonderful queer artists like the late SOPHIE, or the singer KUCKA. This is a straight rapper talking very seriously about police brutality and gang violence, against some beats produced by a trans person with a feature by a queer woman. You don’t get an explicit sense of any of these people’s gender expression or sexuality, and that’s exactly the point. It’s my utopian ideal of inclusivity in rap, and I hope we see more of it to come.” In the hope of this more positive future, where does it leave DaBaby? A summer off touring serves the double purpose of zero-tolerance messaging and personal recalibration, but ultimately, Hayden believes that true lasting change needs to come from a place of listening — on both sides. “I don’t believe in cancel culture at all. When we sever those ties, we lose the opportunity to educate, listen and move forward together. I would’ve loved to see DaBaby take this moment to revise his statement, give accurate and correct information to his fans about HIV, and try and undo some of that stigma. Regardless, I think cancelling anyone, permanent or otherwise, only emboldens those who share those same beliefs. It drives the wedge further, and it’s counterproductive. Instead, we need to ask ourselves: why does DaBaby think this? Who taught him this? Why do so many of his fans agree with him? If we can answer those questions and work to address them, then that’s how we get closer to progress.”

While price growth has slowed, there is no immediate indication of an impending housing market crash. Here are the housing market predictions for 2021 and 2022. Can the boom last forever? Does the past teach us ANYTHING? Are we listening to the lessons of the past? Every boom comes with a bust! This statement has been proven true over and over again throughout history. Of course, you remember the great depression, but do you remember the roaring 20’s that preceded it? What about the market crash of 2008? What came before that was a housing bubble. No bubble is exempt and remember. The larger the bubble, the deeper the crash. Most will not be prepared, but that’s okay, because only a small group of prepared agents/offices, will survive, even thrive during the coming years. You can look through the crowd and predict which ones will make it through, but what about the smaller agents? Which ones will survive and which won’t make it? It’s really simple.. the ones that make a lasting and real impression on their clients, will survive, No, that doesn’t mean share some feel-good meme on facebook. Those are meaningless. This is the time to reach out to your past clients, engage and connect with them. Now is the time to practice the golden rule. But regarding people that aren’t current clients, it’s always a good idea to reach out to them AS IF the market is slow and you need their business. Be out there and let people hear from you. No, not social media. Everybody does that on social media. You need to reach people in the real world. Flyers, business cards, billboards, etc. Stay out there so people see you when they need your services, they’ll call you. This post was created with our nice and easy submission form.

I’ve had an angle for some time (since before the manifesto) that adding technology to a system that is not already reasonably automatic, almost invariably makes matters worse. Introduction of new IT systems for example bring new process constraints whose downside may often outweigh the value of the system itself, since the value of ad-hoc human processes are easily overlooked in the formal system design. (Dr James Willis work has documented many examples of this in healthcare.) Another thread in this blog is that communications immediacy means misinformation that is easily communicated can prevail over “better” (truer) information that is less easy to communicate (ie the spread of toxic memes. For Blackmore, objectivism itself is the toxic meme.). This has always been part of my motivation to find knowledge models that adapt to the softer, subjective human components of knowledge, like motivation to name but one. Anyway, having re-acquainted myself with Brian Josephson’s web-site, in the previous post, I find a row concerning the “arxiv” physics paper pre-print archive hosted at Los Alamos on behalf of the theoretical physics community. Apparently the upload of contributors papers can be banned by an administrator simply switching a flag based on the author’s name or the source of the paper, prior to any review of validity of content – quite the antithesis of anonymous peer review. Brian is one of a number of Nobel Laureates fighting against that kind of prejudice. Was it Mark Twain who said “A man with a new idea is a crank until he succeeds” I was interested by this quote on the Archive Freedom home page, from physicist Louis deBroglie, as long ago as 1974 … “The new ideas here triumphed; but, in proportion as the organization of research becomes more rigid, the danger increases that new and fruitful ideas will be unable to develop freely.”. Increasing control of organisation through technology is dangerous. Enabling and decision support can be technological, but control should remain human (or fail-safe) in anything but the simplest of contexts.

‘Odessa’ by Isaac Babel Translated by Val Vinokur Photo by Igor Sytnik Odessa is a nasty town. Everybody knows this. Instead of saying “what’s the difference,” over there they say, “what’s the differences,” and also, instead of “here and there,” they say, “hayr and thayr.” But still, it seems to me you could say a lot of good things about this important and most remarkable city in the Russian Empire. Just consider – a city where life is simple and easy. Half of the population consists of Jews, and Jews are people who are sure about a few basic things. They get married so they won’t be lonely, make love so they will live forever, save up money to buy their wives astrakhan jackets, love their offspring because, after all, it’s very good and important to love one’s children. Poor Jews in Odessa can get very confused by officials and official forms, but it isn’t easy to shift them from their ways, their fixed and ancient ways. Shift they will not, and one can learn a lot from them. To a significant degree, it is thanks to their efforts that Odessa has such a simple and easygoing atmosphere. An Odessan is the opposite of someone from Petrograd. It is becoming axiomatic that Odessans do very well in Petrograd. They make money. They are brunettes – so naturally the city’s soft blonde ladies fall in love with them. In general, an Odessan in Petrograd tends to settle on Kamennoostrovsky Prospect.1 I’m not setting up a joke here. No, sir. This is about something more profound. Quite simply, these brunettes bring a little sunshine and lightheartedness with them. Aside from gentlemen bringing a bit of sun and a lot of sardines in their original containers, I would also think that there will come – and come soon – the prolific, life-giving influence of the Russian south, of Russian Odessa, which may be (qui sait?) the only city in Russia where our very own and much needed national Maupassant will be born. In fact, I perceive the tiniest slender wisps of a premonition – Odessan chanteuses (I speak of Isa Kremer)2 with small voices, but full of joy, joy artfully expressed in their very being, a fervent and light, charmingly sad yet touching feeling for a life that is good and bad and extraordinarily – quand meme et malgré tout – interesting. I saw Utochkin, and Odessan pur sang, carefree and profound, fearless and absentminded, graceful and gangly armed, brilliant and stuttering. They say he’s been consumed by cocaine or morphine since he fell out of his airplane over some swamp in Novgorod Province. Poor Utochkin, he’s lost his mind, but all the same it’s clear to me that soon the time will come when Novgorod Province will walk itself over to Odessa.3 ”in the evening, out at their comical vulgar dachas, beneath the dark velvety sky, the fat comical bourgeois lie about on their day beds in white socks” Above all, this city simply has the material conditions necessary to nurture, let’s say, the talents of a Maupassant. In the summer, its sunny bathing establishments gleam with the bronzed and muscled physiques of young sports enthusiasts, the powerful bodies of fisherman, who are not sports enthusiasts, the fat, round-bellied, amiable bulks of the “gentlemen of commerce,” the pimply scrawny dreamers, inventors, and brokers. And a small distance from the deep wide sea, there are factories puffing smoke and Karl Marx up to his usual business. In Odessa there is a very poor and crowded, long-suffering Jewish ghetto, a very self-satisfied bourgeoisie, and a very Black Hundreds town council. In Odessa, there are sweet and languorous spring evenings, the spicy scent of acacia, and the unwavering and irresistible light of the moon above the dark sea. In Odessa, in the evening, out at their comical vulgar dachas, beneath the dark velvety sky, the fat comical bourgeois lie about on their day beds in white socks, digesting their five courses… Behind the bushes, their powdered wives, fat from idleness and naively corseted, are passionately squeezed by temperamental physicians and jurists. In Odessa the “luftmenschen” root around the coffee houses trying to make a ruble and feed the family, but there’s nothing to be made, because what can a completely useless person – a “luftmensch” – really make? In Odessa there is a port, and in the port – ships from Newcastle, Cardiff, Marseilles, and Port Said; Negroes, Englishmen, Frenchmen, and Americans. Odessa has known prosperity, and now knows its own decline – a poetic, rather carefree and utterly helpless decline. “Odessa,” the reader will finally say, “is a city like any other city, and you are just exceedingly biased.” All right, so I’m biased, it’s true, maybe even exceedingly so, but parole d’honneur, there is something to it. And a truly human being will sense this something and will say, true enough, life can be sad and monotonous, but all the same – quand meme et malgre tout – extraordinarily, most extraordinarily interesting. From these thoughts about Odessa my mind turns to deeper things. If you think about it, doesn’t it seem that in Russian literature one has yet to find a truly joyful and vibrant description of the sun? Turgenev sang of the dewy morn, the stillness of the night. With Dostoevsky you can feel the uneven grey pavement along which Karamazov walks to the tavern, the heavy and mysterious Petersburg fog. Those grey roads and shrouds of fog have stifled people and, having stifled them, contort them in amusing and awful ways, giving birth to a rumble and jumble of passions, making people even more frantic amidst the usual human bustle. Do you remember the bright and fructifying sun in Gogol, a man who came from the Ukraine. If there are such descriptions, they are but a passing phase. And not the phase with “The Nose,” “The Overcoat,” “The Portrait,” and “Diary of a Madman.” Petersburg defeated Poltava, Akaky Akakievich has modestly but with brutal efficiency overwritten Gritsko, and Father Matvei finished off what Taras had begun. The first person who started to talk about the sun in a Russian book, and to talk about it ecstatically, passionately, was Gorky. But the very fact that he talks about it ecstatically and passionately means that it’s still not quite the real thing. ”But he is not the singer of the sun, but a herald of the truth” Gorky is a precursor, and the mightiest in our time. But he is not the singer of the sun, but a herald of the truth: that if there is one thing worthy of song, you can be sure it is the sun. In Gorky’s love of the sun there is something cerebral; it is only thanks to his enormous talent that he overcomes this obstacle. He loves the sun because Russia is rotten and perverted, because in Nizhny and in Pskov and in Kazan people are flabby, thick, sometimes incomprehensible, other times pitiful, and sometimes just incredibly and stupefyingly boring. Gorky knows why he loves the sun, why one is supposed to love it. This awareness is in fact the reason why Gorky is a precursor, an often mighty and magnificent one, but a precursor. As for Maupassant, maybe he doesn’t know anything, and maybe he knows everything; a covered wagon clatters down a scorched road, in the carriage sit the fat and sly Polyte and a strapping clumsy peasant lass. What they’re doing in there and why there are doing it – that’s their business. The sky is hot, the earth is hot. Polyte and the lass are dripping with sweat, while the wagon clatters on the bright scorched road. And that’s all. Lately, there’s been a lot of writing about how people live, love, kill, and elect local village councils in the province of Olonetsk, Vologda, or, say, Archangelsk. All of it is written in the most authentic dialect, exactly like they speak in Olonetsk and Vologda. People live there, it turns out, and it’s cold, and there’s a lot of rough stuff. An old story. And pretty soon people will get sick of reading about this old story. Actually, they’re already sick of it. And what I think is, Russians will be drawn south, to the sea and the sun. Will be drawn? No, in fact, that’s wrong. They have been drawn already, for many centuries. It is in Russia’s persistent drive to the steppe, even perhaps “to the Cross of the Holy Sophia,”4 that she will find her way. People feel the blood should be refreshed. It’s stifling here. The literary Messiah, awaited in vain for so long, will arrive from there – from the sunny steppe, washed by the sea. 1 Known as the Gallery of Art Nouveau because of its turn-of-the-century buildings, Kamennoostrovsky Prospect was, in the words of Osip Mandelstam, “one of the lightest and most irresponsible streets of Petersburg” (Mandelstam, The Egyptian Stamp). 2 Isa Kremer (1885-1956) was a Russian Jewish soprano who moved to Odessa when she was twelve and began writing revolutionary poetry for a local paper. After studying opera in Milan, she went on to become a star of classical and popular song, singing in many languages, including Yiddish. She eventually moved to the United States and then settled in Argentina. 3 Sergei Utochkin (1876-1915), pioneering Russian aviator, born in Odessa. In 1929, fellow Odessan Yuri Olesha would write that Utochkin “was considered a freak. He was a subject of fun. It’s unclear why that was. He was one of the first to ride a bicycle, a motorcycle, an automobile, one of the first to fly. People laughed. He crashed flying between Petersburg and Moscow. People laughed. He was a champion, but in Odessa they thought he was the town madman.” 4 The Holy Sophia (Hagia Sophia or Holy Wisdom) is the cathedral that served as the seat of the Orthodox Patriarchate of Constantinople from 537 until 1453, when it was converted into a mosque by the Ottomans. It became a museum in 1935. Many Russian ideologues – including Dostoevsky – believed that it was Russia’s messianic destiny – as the last remaining Christian Empire or “Third Rome” – to retake Constantinople from the Muslim Turks.
Deepfakes are videos that glue one person’s face onto another’s body, making the former look like they’re saying or doing something that they never actually did—even if it’s something as harmless as Tom Cruise talking to the camera and hitting a golf ball. They’re hard to spot just from watching the video, but here’s the good news: you don’t actually have to watch the video to know you’ve encountered a deepfake. The Tom Cruise deepfakes (a few brief videos posted to TikTok on an account called @deeptomcruise) were convincing because they applied Tom Cruise’s face to an actor who had already built a career as a Tom Cruise impersonator. These videos were professionally produced, and honestly, there was no way to tell they were deepfakes just by looking at them. Should we be worried? Are we now living in a world where anything can be faked? I mean, yes, but we have been for years. For comparison, think about photoshopped images. Sure, a bad one can be obvious. But normally we don’t scrutinize photos to figure out whether they’ve been altered. Instead, we’re just aware that it happens pretty commonly. Do you need to even look at a celebrity magazine cover to know the photo is probably altered? You do not. It’s the same with deepfakes: What matters is the context of the video and where it came from, not the specifics of how the pixels move. An expert on videos used for activism told Vice that the bigger problem is that “We live in a world with a lot of shallowfakes—simple, miscontextualized, or edited videos.” So how can we spot fake videos without poring over every pixel? Mike Caulfield, an expert on digital literacy, tweeted about this recently, offering two frameworks for spotting fake anything, and they work well for deepfakes. The first is SIFT, a concept he explains here. There are four steps: - Investigate the source. - Find better coverage. - Trace claims, quotes, and media back to the original context. The first step can be applied as soon as you notice yourself getting sucked in, worrying, or wondering—or when you realize that you’re spending a little too much time scrutinizing an image for telltale signs of deception. The rest of the steps are commonsense questions that should have clear answers if the thing you’re looking at is real. Caulfield pointed out an example from last year of a fake reporter with a convincing looking social media presence. Lots of details checked out. The obvious sign of fakery, though? She said she wrote for Bloomberg, but no articles by her appear on Bloomberg’s website. Another checklist for checking out a video or photo is called the Five Pillars of Visual Verification, from anti-disinformation organization First Draft. As they put it: The nice thing about teaching verification is that it is easy to break down. That’s because whether you are looking at an eyewitness video, a manipulated photo, a sockpuppet account or a meme, the basic checks you have to run on them are the same: Provenance: Are you looking at the original account, article or piece of content? Source: Who created the account or article, or captured the original piece of content? Date: When was it created? Location: Where was the account established, website created or piece of content captured? Motivation: Why was the account established, website created or the piece of content captured? As with SIFT, there’s no need to zoom in on the video or image itself; instead, you zoom out to judge its context in the real world. That will not only give you hints as to whether it’s real, but help you think through why it exists and who stands to benefit from its being shared. Many of us already use these techniques, of course. For a perfect example, see this Lifehacker piece, in which Nick Douglas investigated the supposed trend of hipsters wearing tiny scarves around their ankles. The image was a photoshop, but the real tell was that if you follow the links (provenance), you find that it came from an Italian website (source) that publishes humor articles (motivation). It was never a real trend. The SIFT and Pillars techniques work just as well for faked and mislabeled news images as they do for silly stories about ankle scarves. (Remember when we talked about those “breaking news” accounts on social media that circulate misinformation—sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose—by tying it to current events?) Deepfakes and shallowfakes are out there, and you can spot them without any special training—just your own common sense, if you choose to use it.
Social Glue: Bringing people together online, for food, fellowship... and a lot less political fervor By Nicole Vulcan - Nicole Vulcan A few weeks back, I tried to find a new home for an errant rooster that had accidentally made his way into my backyard flock. Turns out, giving away livestock is against Facebook rules, and my request was removed from a local Facebook group where I posted it. Facebook may have played a hand in helping influence the last presidential election by allowing misleading ads to proliferate, but giving away a chicken? Heck, nah. But rather than focus on all the political fervor that continues as we approach yet another presidential election, this is intended to focus a bit on the positive side of social media, by way of some of the groups using it. Central Oregon Gardeners Started in 2013 by Stacey Kent, who lived in Prineville, and joined later that year by Tessa Neill, who had started her own gardening group, the initial vision for Central Oregon Gardeners was, "to not only create a fun and friendly place to get the specific information for our bipolar weather, but to gather the members in real life," according to a document on the COG group page. What started out as a group for a few hearty Central Oregon gardeners who wanted to prove you could actually grow food in the high desert has turned into a group of over 5,800 members, some who live in other far-flung high desert areas. "I was in a volatile domestic violence situation, and building the group gave me a sense of worth and purpose. Plants and growing gave me hope for life when I thought mine would end," Kent told the Source. "It is impossible to think about your past, present, or future while gardening. You can only see the beauty, pull the weed or plan the next place for that flower." - Nicole Vulcan - Want to give away a rooster on Facebook? No way, says Facebook. But posting inane, untrue memes about a political candidate? Well... The recent pandemic has inspired a lot more people—some with more time on their hands, and perhaps the addition of financial concerns, to turn to growing their own food. Oregon State University, seeing the uptick in desire for information about growing food, even made some of its Master Gardener curriculum free at the start of the pandemic. Neill of COG says the group, too, saw growth in group membership due to the pandemic—but said that group numbers have been steadily on the rise as the local population grows. COG members post photos of pests or problem areas in their gardens, and quickly get responses from any number of fellow group members. If someone has more of something than they need—such as an overgrowth of a certain type of plant, for example—another member is likely to swoop it up. "I've seen members lose all the plants they started and other members offering to give them some starts," Neill told the Source. "We've seen members get really defeated about the challenges of growing in Central Oregon, and members are quick to offer encouragement to keep going." Around 2015, COG began a seed swap, and then added plant swaps. In addition, "More and more members are stepping up to offer events teaching about their passion, what they do that works, etc.," Neill said. The last time we mentioned Pandemic Partners, it was a new Facebook group that had exploded in size, connecting people who had things with people who needed things during this global pandemic. As its group description reads, "It's simple - if you need help, ask. If you can help, respond out of the goodness of your heart." Since its creation, by Morgan Schmidt, pastor at First Presbyterian Church in Bend, the Pandemic Partners "brand" has expanded beyond Bend: Groups now exist specifically for Redmond (2,300+ members), South Deschutes County (700+ members), Sisters (900+ members) and Jefferson County (780+ members)—and it's now a nonprofit with its own website sharing resources and a "starter kit" of sorts for those interested in "crowdsourcing kindness." Is this possible without social media? While Congress continues to debate whether social media giants should be treated like publishers—who are subject to rules and regulations that govern what they can and can't say (truth in advertising, for example), group leaders using Facebook as a vehicle believe it's the intention of the group—not the method by which the information is delivered—that really moves things along. Before the Facebook group, Kent said she got the word out via other means. "In the beginning I did a lot of Craigslist ads, local paper, like the (Your) Round Up, and flyers at businesses. I talked to everyone I could get to listen, too," Kent said. It's tough to say whether a group like this would have gathered so many members were old-school community bulletin boards, rather than social media, its gathering point, but as Neill puts it, if social media didn't exist, Kent would have made it happen somehow. "That's how she rolls," Neill said. Thanks a Bunch, Zuckerberg: Facebook was originally developed to keep people connected – however, according to some Bend locals, the social media platform is better at driving people apart By Cayla Clark - What started as another way for humans to communicate has shifted toward becoming a platform for hate and toxicity. Personally, I had to take an extended break from social media shortly after the coronavirus pandemic turned political. The blatant divide between "maskers" and "anti-maskers," "Trumpers" and "libtards" and "sheep" and "herders" (herd immunity activists, to be more specific) was enough to drive a quarantined person to drink (excessively). It was difficult to stay unengaged unless the apps were uninstalled entirely. Social media had become so ugly and hateful that it was starting to take an emotional and mental toll. For some, like Bend local Sandy Klein, social media took an even more menacing turn in recent times. After undergoing a significant interpersonal trauma involving her husband, she began receiving extensive backlash from some local people. Even before that, she decided to get rid of one of her two Facebook pages to avoid the constant conflict. "The political climate is the worst right now, and it's really bringing out the worst in people in my opinion," said Klein. "It goes way beyond just having an opinion or sharing news. So many times, when a news article is shared by someone, left or right, it quickly turns toxic. There was one instance I can remember; someone asked a genuine question and was looking for a genuine answer, and I responded. But as soon as I answered I was viciously attacked and called a racist. That part drives me crazy, that a person can express themselves without being attacked like that. With everything that I've been going through, you know, that makes me feel like I have to keep it all to myself." Bend local Griffin Michael added that discussing politics on Facebook was driving a clear wedge between people. "I had a man threaten to give my business bad reviews on Google in order to ruin my business because we had differing opinions on politics. He looked at my Facebook page and said, 'I see you're divorced... your wife couldn't even stand your pathetic ass,' and even went on to say that he hopes my kids die from COVID. I was like, 'Whoa! I've never met you in my life. You say these things based on what?' It made me sad; not just because of what he said about me, but just about how vitriolic and vile he became. There are people out there wishing harm to others based on a disagreement. I don't think that happens so easily in real life. Or maybe these days it does? I don't know." - "Unfriending" people on Facebook seems simple enough, but some prefer calling names and making threats. Klein agreed that there was a disconnect between online interactions and in-person interactions. "It's far easier to be hurtful to someone on social media, whether you know them or not. It's more difficult to have conversations face-to-face." To the same point, Michael continued, "I think through algorithms and echo chambers we are losing touch with our humanity. There just seems to be less room for nuance when everything is a meme or a jab. Someone told me one time that they thought I was a great dad based on my Facebook page. I replied, 'Well, yeah, I don't post pictures or videos of me being an asshole.'" "Cancel culture" has become another prevalent social media-based trend. The phrase refers to the practice of withdrawing support from a person or organization after some allegedly offensive or objectionable behavior comes to the surface. Klein noted that she had experienced "cancel culture" firsthand after undergoing her familial issue. "People were so quick to pass judgement or call me names," she said. "Everyone started canceling me. I wanted to fight back sometimes, but I know doing so would only make things worse, so I stick to posting puppies and kittens. I also experienced the "lynch mob mentality" firsthand. I was surprised by how unsafe I felt at one point and how quickly things on Facebook escalated. People were making threats, wishing awful things on me and making up stories just to drive the point home. I really felt unsafe there for a little bit."
References to Wikipedia in culture have increased as more people learn about and use the online encyclopedia project. Many parody Wikipedia's openness, with characters vandalising or modifying articles. Still others feature characters using the references as a source, or positively comparing a character's intelligence to Wikipedia. Also, the encyclopedia many times is not used as an encyclopedia at all, but instead serves more as a character trait or even as a game. Wikipedia has also become culturally significant with many individuals seeing the presence of a Wikipedia entry as a status symbol. |Date||Nature||Country (of origin)||Title| |November 10, 2004||article||United States||"I Must Take Issue With The Wikipedia Entry For 'Weird Al' Yankovic", The Onion.| |May 7, 2005||comic strip||United States||FoxTrot| |2006||commercial||England||Cisco Systems: Human Network Anthem| |March 1, 2006||TV show (satirical)||United States||The Colbert Report, episode 58| |April 14, 2006||novel||United Kingdom||The Righteous Men, Sam Bourne| |August 12, 2006||music video||United States||"White & Nerdy" music video, by "Weird Al" Yankovic| |January 18, 2007||sitcom||United States||30 Rock: "The Head and the Hair"| |March 17, 2007||TV show (satirical)||United Kingdom||Bremner, Bird and Fortune| |April 22, 2007||TV show (sport)||United States||SportsCenter| |May 31, 2007||Non-fiction||United States||It's Not News, It's FARK: How Mass Media Tries to Pass off Crap as News, Drew Curtis| |June 11, 2007||commercial demo||United States||Apple iPhone, Apple Inc.| |August 3, 2007||play||United States||The Wikipedia Plays| |September 3, 2007||magazine||United Kingdom||Official Nintendo Magazine, Issue 21| |July 23, 2009||radio (satirical)||United Kingdom||Bigipedia| |August 11, 2010||sitcom||United States||Hot in Cleveland: "Good Luck Faking The Goiter"| |I Must Take Issue With The Wikipedia Entry For 'Weird Al' Yankovic||In an article from The Onion, the character Larry Groznic writes an article about how he was banned from Wikipedia for starting an edit war on the "Weird Al" Yankovic page, and goes on to criticize the content on the page.||Having taken place well before the John Seigenthaler Sr. Wikipedia biography controversy, it was one of the first major parodies.| |FoxTrot||First appearance of Wikipedia in a syndicated comic strip.| |The Colbert Report, episode 58||Arianna Huffington challenges host Stephen Colbert on his claim that he had coined the word "truthiness".

This resulted in his "Wørd" being "Self-Determination", claiming that everyone on the internet should be anonymous and should not be forced to give away their true identity.

Colbert defined wikiality as "truth by consensus" (rather than fact), modeled after the approval-by-consensus format of Wikipedia. He ironically praised Wikipedia for following his philosophy of truthiness, in which intuition and consensus is a better reflection of reality than fact: You see, any user can change any entry, and if enough other users agree with them, it becomes true. ... If only the entire body of human knowledge worked this way. And it can, thanks to tonight's word: Wikiality. Now, folks, I'm no fan of reality, and I'm no fan of encyclopedias. I've said it before. Who is Britannica to tell me that George Washington had slaves? If I want to say he didn't, that's my right. And now, thanks to Wikipedia, it's also a fact. We should apply these principles to all information. All we need to do is convince a majority of people that some factoid is true. ... What we're doing is bringing democracy to knowledge. According to Stephen Colbert, together "we can all create a reality that we all can agree on; the reality that we just agreed on." During the segment, he joked: "I love Wikipedia... any site that's got a longer entry on truthiness than on Lutherans has its priorities straight." Colbert also used the segment to satirize the more general issue of whether the repetition of statements in the media leads people to believe they are true. The piece was introduced with the tagline "The Revolution Will Not Be Verified", referencing the lack of objective verification seen in some articles. Colbert suggested that viewers change the elephant page to state that the number of African elephants has tripled in the last six months. The suggestion resulted in numerous incorrect changes to Wikipedia articles related to elephants and Africa. Wikipedia administrators subsequently restricted edits to the pages by anonymous and newly created user accounts. Colbert went on to type on a laptop facing away from the camera, claiming to be making the edits to the pages himself. In addition, initial edits to Wikipedia corresponding to these claimed "facts" were made by a user named Stephencolbert. Thus, many believe Colbert himself vandalized several Wikipedia pages at the time he was encouraging other users to do the same. The account, whether it was Stephen Colbert himself or someone posing as him, has been blocked from Wikipedia indefinitely. Wikipedia blocked the account not for the vandalism (as believed), but for violating Wikipedia's username policies, which state that using the names of celebrities as login names without permission is inappropriate. |December 16, 2005||Penny Arcade| |August 16, 2006||52, Week 15||Fictional "Ballostro" article.

The URL followed the appropriate pattern: "http://en.wonkypedia.org/wonky/". The same parody returned in the next issue as "Wakipedia". The phrase it advertised was "The Free Encyclopedia (you get what you pay for!)". - Likewise, CRACKED.com, the online publication affiliated with former Mad rival Cracked, has satirized Wikipedia's maintenance templates. - In May 2006, British chat show host Paul O'Grady received an inquiry from a viewer regarding information given on his Wikipedia page, to which he responded, "Wikipedia?

Entertainment information source - On the June 5, 2006 episode of The Howard Stern Show, wack packer Eric the Midget called in and complained that his parents had read about a stunt that he did for the show, that involved him measuring his penis, on Wikipedia (which he called "Wackipedia").

Food information source - In his "pickoff" in which he makes predictions on the winners of NFL games, Peter King said of the Thanksgiving night game between Indianapolis and Atlanta in 2007 "The sleep-inducing qualities of turkey are overrated, as I learned this week on Wikipedia. There is more tryptophan in cheddar cheese than turkey." General information source - In Tim Minchin's poem Storm, when he criticizes the eponymous character for being excessively gullible and close-minded, he accuses her of being scared of spending an afternoon at "Wiki-fucking-pedia".

"The parallels between The Hitchhiker's Guide (as found in Adams' original BBC radio series and novels) and Wikipedia are so striking, it's a wonder that the author's rabid fans don't think he invented time travel. Since its editor was perennially out to lunch, the Guide was amended 'by any passing stranger who happened to wander into the empty offices on an afternoon and saw something worth doing.' This anonymous group effort ends up outselling Encyclopedia Galactica even though 'it has many omissions and contains much that is apocryphal, or at least wildly inaccurate.'" This comparison of fictional documents in the series, is not unlike the mainstream comparisons between Wikipedia and professional Encyclopedias. Student information source - Aoi Haru, the end theme of the anime Seitokai Yakuindomo performed by Angela, mentions using the Wikipedia as one of the daily activities of the high school girl portrayed in the song. Game show category - The December 3, 2007 episode of Jeopardy! had a category entitled "'ick'-ipedia", where all correct responses contained the letters "ick". - The comedy website Something Awful once featured Wikipedia's article on Knuckles the Echidna as an ALOD (Awful Link of the Day), satirizing the amount of detail that sometimes goes into seemingly irrelevant topics. The link description adds that the article is longer than each of the articles about Echidnas, the Internet, the internal combustion engine, William Shakespeare and Western culture. The topic was also satirized in the front page, which featured a fake Wikipedia style article about Albert "Al" Calavicci from the TV series Quantum Leap written by Something Awful contributor David Thorpe. Thorpe elsewhere linked the existence of such articles to Asperger syndrome, stating "Don't make fun of Aspergers. If it weren't for Aspergers, we wouldn't have 20-page Wikipedia articles about Knuckles the Echidna." Wikipedia was also mocked in a December 4, 2006 update on Something Awful. The update detailed the life of a talk page on Wikipedia, and mocked the neutrality, copyright, naming, quality, and personal disputes that the pages are beholden to. The update also linked Wikipedia usage to Asperger syndrome once more, with one fictional editor claiming to have a case of the syndrome twice as powerful as that of another fictional editor. In a 2007 Awful Link of the Day, a Wikipedia article was featured again, this time on the villains of Codename: Kids Next Door. Once again, it calls out the detail put onto seemingly irrelevant topics, citing a discussion in said article's talk page about the subjectiveness of the speed of certain characters. Something Awful founder Richard Kyanka then mockingly offered to write up a speed comparison of the KND characters Big Badolescent and Cheese Shogun Roquefort, citing a fake episode called "episode 35, 'I Am a 38-Year Old Man With Several Obese Cats and an Empty Life I Futilely Try to Fill With Childrens' Cartoons'". - An article in The Sun derided Wikipedia for including a "List of big-bust models and performers" (since deleted). Quoting an unnamed "company source", the article concluded: "It's every computer geek's dream come true – definitely one of Wikipedia's breast, I mean best, assets". Wikipedia in web comics - The xkcd comic "Wikipedian Protester" shows a protester at a political rally, holding up a placard mimicking Wikipedia's "citation needed" tag, used to request a citation for an unsupported statement. The tooltip of the comic (often part of the joke in an xkcd comic) adds the extra comment "SEMI-PROTECT THE CONSTITUTION", referencing Wikipedia's semi-protection policy. Numerous other references to Wikipedia have been made in xkcd. - On May 7, 2005, the comic strip FoxTrot showed one character appending his older sister to unflattering Wikipedia articles. In a similar joke, the web comic Penny Arcade also satirized Wikipedia with a comic strip depicting Skeletor vandalizing the He-Man article. The web comic PvP featured a similar gag with the character Marcy adding embarrassing information about Francis, though she denies it is vandalism, claiming truth. - On December 10, 2005, following the John Seigenthaler incident, UserFriendly showed Greg at first defending Wikipedia, but he then sees an entry about him as a "hairy dork" and declares "Wikipedia is so going down!" Strips also commented on editor agendas, and the relative lack of Wikipedia content in third-world languages. - In the November 8, 2006 installment of Dinosaur Comics, T-Rex presents a solution to vandalism on Wikipedia; the chickens article would be designated for vandalism, leaving all other articles intact. - A Bunny strip featuring Wikipedia includes a tombstone which reads: "RIP Jeph Jacques" with the bottom caption: "The Moral of the story is you cannot always trust what you read on Wikipedia." - Questionable Content references Wikipedia several times. Hannelore, a character who suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder, cut most of her hair off after reading Wikipedia's article on head lice. Wikipedia was also referenced when Penelope, a character who is bitter against romance, stated that her edits to the De Beers entry kept getting reverted (she attempted to add a conspiracy theory to the article suggesting that the company had subverted humanity's mating drive in order to sell more diamonds). Wikipedia was also parodied, taking the form of a mock product similar to SpaghettiOs. - Applegeeks has jokingly referred to Wikipedia as a replacement for traditional education twice. - The webcomic PartiallyClips criticised Wikipedia's supposed policy of deleting many articles on webcomics. - Roadkill Bill has a comic mocking Wikipedia. - George of Bob and George once used Wikipedia to research The First Annual Robot Tournament (a plot element from Mega Man 6) after being told his brother, Bob, was killed during it, but found no information. Later, however, Mega Man researches the subject and finds detailed information has been added. This article is then used as a plot device in following comics as the characters read about the events being depicted. - Diesel Sweeties comic #1831 shows the Red Robot swearing "on the Wikipedia's entry for 'Honor'" to not kill anyone, and then later editing the page. In addition, comic #2036 is entitled "This article about my love life is a stub. You can help 'sexipedia' by expanding it." In this comic, Metal Steve asks Lil' Sis if she remembers losing her virginity. Her response is, "What am I, Wikipedia?" Claims of negative impact of Wikipedia on culture - ^ "Loxodonta", "African Forest Elephant", "African Bush Elephant", "Pachydermata", "Babar the Elephant", "Elephant", "Oregon", "George Washington", "Latchkey kid", "Serial killer", "Hitler", "The Colbert Report" and "Stephen Colbert" are/were temporarily protected.

Why 24kGoldn Is TikTok’s Biggest Success Story It’s no secret that TikTok is having a huge impact on the charts across the globe, with artists such as Doja Cat and BENEE swiftly becoming household names as we find ourselves being both “Supalonely” and yet feeling like a “Boss Bitch” during this lockdown period. One user benefitting hugely from the short-form video platform is American rapper/singer-songwriter 24kGoldn. The 19-year-old has utilized the app to gain over 11 million monthly listeners on Spotify in just eight months. With multiple viral hits and 2.4 million followers on TikTok, 24kGoldn is the biggest rapper you’ve never heard of. “Everybody wants to be performing on the big stage at Coachella but very few people want to put in the groundwork that it takes to get there. I love the process”. — 24kGoldn At the beginning of last year Golden Landis Von Jones, better known as 24kGoldn, took the decision to drop out of the University of Southern California (USC) with the sole intention of making it as an artist. “Everybody wants to be performing on the big stage at Coachella but very few people want to put in the groundwork that it takes to get there. I love the process”, says Golden. While many 19-year-olds are spending most of their time playing video games and watching Netflix during the lockdown period, Golden is busy writing songs, studying music marketing, and reading The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz. Not denying that he is, of course, doing the former too — with Call of Duty being his favorite video game, and Tiger King his new favorite show. Golden’s love of the process and commitment to pursuing a career in music has been evident since his sophomore year in high school. Never one to shy away from self-promotion, he took advantage of being surrounded by students, or as he saw them, potential fans. Recounting one of his favorite campaign ideas, Golden says: “In college, I made some badges based off porn ads which normally say, ‘this ugly son of a b*tch is f*cking super hot b*tches’ or something along those lines and I changed it to ‘this ugly son of a b*tch is respecting super hot chicks’. I put my face on the badge and started handing them out all over campus so everyone would recognize me as being the porn badge meme guy who’s also a rapper (laughs).” At the beginning of 2018, Golden devised his first official marketing plan for his single “Ballin’ Like Shareef”. After gaining significant coverage on blogs as well as support from DJ Booth writer Hershal Pandaya, Golden caught the eye of American record producer D.A. Got That Dope. It wasn’t long before Columbia Records started to show interest. “D.A. played them some of my records including VALENTINO and they reached out saying they wanted to sign me just three months after I started at USC”, says Golden. “Once the second semester came round I was like damn I cannot do not both at the same time. So I dropped all my classes except for one so I could still have the scholarship. Once the year was over I took a leave of absence, so I can go back whenever I want within the next 10 years.” Swiftly after signing, in February 2019 24kGoldn released his smash hit “VALENTINO”, which has over 187 million streams on Spotify to date, peaking at #92 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart. Armed with its catchy hook, brand recognition, and Valentine’s Day on the horizon, the track had some initial success but nothing in the realms of the numbers achieved since the track went viral in August 2019. “Before TikTok, things were going okay but there wasn’t the rate of growth that I wanted to see”, says Golden. “Rachel from Digital Marketing at Columbia first told me about TikTok, so we put some songs on there but they didn’t really do anything and I didn’t really understand the platform. Then by some miracle, the right people who needed to see VALENTINO saw it, and once we got to something like 12,000 videos I knew it was going to be a hit as I kept refreshing every hour, and the numbers were crazy.” Recognizing the potential of the platform the 19-year-old created his own account and started to post his own songs, share other artists’ tracks, and make his own funny skits and prank videos. TikTok users soon started to see an increasing number of videos featuring “VALENTINO” and would subsequently head over to streaming platforms to hear the track in full. “We’ve seen far more people migrate to other platforms from a TikTok campaign in a shorter period of time than any other platform, especially with regards to streaming services”, says Sean Taylor, Co-Founder at ContraBrand Agency. “Music is in TikTok’s DNA. Where it may feel like promotion on other platforms it’s welcomed as a part of the experience on TikTok.” — Sean Taylor ContraBrand is a music marketing agency specializing in multi-platform content marketing and brand development, working with artists such as 24kGoldn, 6 Dogs, and Trap Beckham. The agency uses a mix of influencer marketing and traditional advertising to generate a buzz for their artists on TikTok. “Music is in TikTok’s DNA”, Sean continues. “Where it may feel like promotion on other platforms it’s welcomed as a part of the experience on TikTok. In many cases, users actively go to the app in search of new music. The power that TikTok holds as a curator is reflected by the hundreds of playlists named some variation of ‘TikTok Songs’ on Spotify and YouTube.” At the time of creating his own personal account in late August 2019, Golden had a very respectable 295,000 monthly listeners on Spotify. Three weeks later, popular TikTok influencer avivasofia posted a video of her lip-syncing to “VALENTINO” to her 2.7 million followers, receiving over 545,000 views. Meanwhile, Golden’s duet video reacting to hers garnered 1.2 million views on the same day. In the following week after those videos were posted, Golden’s monthly Spotify listeners rose from 972,000 to over two million. Fast forward one month to November 1st and his monthly listener count had more than doubled to over 4.7 million. “The farther away you get from being inside the school system the more of a learning curve it becomes to understand TikTok.” — 24kGoldn After seeing the initial success, Golden didn’t want to be dubbed as a one-hit-wonder with five minutes of fame on the platform, he wanted to capitalize on the opportunity. “I wanted to be known as 24kGoldn, not just that VALENTINO guy”, he says. It would be fair to say that the 19-year-old didn’t take to the platform like a duck to water, initially brushing the platform aside when his friends told him to join. “I didn’t really understand it at first”, Golden admits. “I remember thinking, damn I thought I was young but I feel like once you get out of high school there’s a disconnect. The farther away you get from being inside the school system the more of a learning curve it becomes to understand TikTok. “There are so many different communities that live on TikTok, people that exclusively do dance, people who exclusively do comedy, people who dress up in cosplay, I didn’t know what the f*ck was going on”, he continues. “But the more time you spend on there observing you’ll start to see what works and what doesn’t.” For the release of his single, “CITY OF ANGELS”, Golden was eager to replicate his success while ensuring that his promotion campaign was as genuine and authentic as possible to please his fans. If you’re an active TikTok user it’s highly likely that you have heard the line “I sold my soul to the devil for designer”, a lyric that has become synonymous with “CITY OF ANGELS” success. The track was initially released as part of 24kGoldn’s debut EP, “DROPPED OUTTA COLLEGE”, in November 2019, gaining five million streams on Spotify prior to the TikTok promotional campaign launching in January. “Not having real-time control of the snippet is one of the most frustrating parts about TikTok.” — Sean Taylor Choosing the right snippet can make or break a track on the platform, causing a great deal of stress and lengthy decision making. “In many cases, the clip that distributors send to TikTok is not optimized for how users will interact with it”, says Sean. “At one point there was a glitch where the sound was suddenly replaced with a different part of the song”, he continues. “For one this wasn’t the best part of the song and it also meant that users would see videos using the sound but couldn’t make videos to that segment anymore, which made for a long and frustrating two weeks. Not having real-time control of the snippet is one of the most frustrating parts about TikTok.” Despite some hiccups, the campaign has proven to be a roaring success for Golden, with over 300,000 videos being created by users for the original track and over one million videos for the remix. As a result, the track now has over 142 million streams on Spotify. Golden is, in his own words, a Gen Z artist, constantly building on his knowledge to ensure that he has more leverage in the industry than artists have ever had before. “I’m someone who likes to do my own marketing rather than just paying a team and letting them take care of it all”, says Golden. “I would watch Sean’s marketing videos on YouTube growing up and he gave me a lot of ideas for how to promote myself at high school. I work best with people who respect that I have my own ideas and would like to have an influence on each part of the process and I think that came across in the campaign we developed”, he adds. “There are artists with bigger followings than me but they’re big names with fanbases that migrated over instantly as soon as they joined the platform. However, I created my base and built my own community from scratch off my own back.” — 24kGoldn Golden is not of the opinion that becoming an overnight sensation on TikTok is positive for an artist’s career despite the rate at which that is happening for many young singers, rappers, and creatives alike. “I’m glad that it took time for me to get to the place where I am now”, he says. “If I had just dropped VALENTINO and it instantly blew up it might have been really hard to follow that up and the challenge would be quite overwhelming.” The 19-year-old views his rise to fame as being very different from that of other artists whose lives have transformed thanks to TikTok. “Nobody’s really done what I’ve done on the platform from the ground up”, says Golden. “There are artists with bigger followings than me but they’re big names with fanbases that migrated over instantly as soon as they joined the platform. However, I created my base and built my own community from scratch off my own back. “I think that’s why people do respond well to me (on TikTok) because they feel like, oh he’s not just using the app for his own gain, he’s actually contributing to the community and partaking in the culture”, he continues. “Younger people are much savvier now and can tell the difference, even if it’s not obvious. You’ve got to respect their intelligence by making sure you’re as organic as possible.” Golden is utilizing the lockdown period to continue working on his debut album and is excited for the next chapter of his career. “For me, the purpose of this album is to show people that I can do more than just make hit songs and that I am an artist who can make music that is worth being respected at the highest level. I’m not just some TikTok rapper, I can do this sh*t for real. I want to create an album that is worth being Grammy-nominated.” Says Sean: “You don’t come across artists like 24kGoldn often. He has a thirst for business acumen and legitimate hustle that you don’t see in a lot of artists with his level of talent. He’s truly involved and his personality translates beyond music. Golden will be much more than a music star.” While you may not know his name, TikTok has catapulted 24kGoldn onto the world’s stage. Having risen from 295,000 monthly Spotify listeners to over 11 million in just one year seemingly anything is possible. As Golden tells me without a hint of doubt or hesitation, “I’m already the biggest rapper in my city. I’m going to be the biggest rapper in the world within the next five years.”
North sent Liquid home packing in front of the home crowd, and they will compete against the French “super team” in the grand finale of ESL Pro League Season 5 Finals. Liquid foolishly chose Nuke as their map pick, a map that clearly played into the strengths of the Danes, while North selected Mirage as their own. Inferno was left over from the map veto process. A perfect opening pistol round from North gave the Danes much room to work with on their Counter-Terrorist side. They absolutely demolished Liquid in the first half, stopping just about any attempted Terrorist strategy in their tracks. The North Americans were capable of winning only two rounds as attackers–both of which were on the A site. Mathias “MSL” Lauridsen won an important one-versus-two situation early in the first half and Kristian “k0nfig” Wienecke sprayed down three Liquid players in secret halls later on. North finished their Counter-Terrorist side with a strong 13-2 scoreline. Liquid showed signs of life towards the end of the Nuke despite losing the second pistol round. North easily reached game point, but Liquid proved they weren’t going down without a fight with a single crucial B site retake at 15-2. The Danes brought an end to Nuke thanks to a one-versus-two from Emil “Magisk” Reif, who ended the map as top frag (22) with an impressive 113.3 average damage per round stat. The final score was 16-5. Liquid put up more of a fight on Mirage even though they lost the first pistol round. They were able to volley the initial rounds thanks to an ace and one-versus-one post-plant retake from Jonathan “EliGE” Jablonowski following the opening round. North put a much larger emphasis on executing A site, but Liquid adjusted to North’s site decisions accordingly. Josh “jdm” Marzano got a nice AWP collateral at middle from catwalk to tally the final round of the 11-4 half for Liquid. The North Americans picked up the second pistol round on their Terrorist side from a coordinated B site execute. Although they gained an economic advantage from the pistol round, North’s varied defenses and retakes on both sites were too much for the them to handle. North eventually came back from the the 12-4 deficit and tied the map 12-12. Both teams were caught in another set of round trades until Liquid reached match point at 15-13. Shortly after, the Liquid meme came alive as they lost their lead to a force buy they should’ve won against; North then forced overtime after Liquid’s economy showed cracks in the final round of regulation. North’s aggressive Counter-Terrorist positioning on A site gave them the edge over Liquid, who seemed to be uncoordinated in their A takes. The first half of overtime ended with a successful B site execute from Liquid. Liquid tied the game at 17-17 after defending the B site from North’s split execute. In the following round, the Danes somehow broke two defensive player stacks on A to end the map 19-17 and halt Liquid’s tournament run with a 2-0 sweep. K0nfig, René “cajunb” Borg, and EliGE all ended Mirage with more than 30 kills—33, 32, and 35, respectively. North will play G2 in the grand finals to end the five-day event in Dallas, Texas. Both teams will compete in a best-of-five series for the $225,000 grand prize, the Pro League title, and bragging rights against their long-awaited opponent. This is the first time that North will play this G2 roster on LAN. Kenny “KennyS” Schrub hoped to play North so him and his team could suppress the Danes and their “cocky” personalities. “Good luck Kenny; I’ll **** you up,” K0nfig said in response.
Occasionally in the world of Facebook, you’ll come across these stories about despicable women. These are meant to be cautionary tales to as my friend Stephanie put so eloquently, “dictate what Black womanhood should or should not.” The only real allies Black women have are each other and sometimes not even. There some desperate broads who will throw you under a fleet of CTA buses to get in the good graces of men. That’s another tale for another day…. I’m pretty convinced these are figments of some butthurt dude’s imagination who just got rejected by a woman who had the nerve to not want to date him. Who knows? Here’s my list of women I don’t think really exist and if they do…they’re the minority. If you actually know this woman (not secondhand stories), do tell in the comments. 1. Groupon hater – When le bew gets a Groupon, date night is about to get kicked up a notch. I’ve heard stories of sisters who threw more shade than a parasol over their date using a Groupon. Umm…some of the nicest places offer Groupon and if you can get a nice dinner for the cheap, why not? It shows he’s smart with money, no? How shallow do you have to be to get offended by a discounted price? What part of the unreasonable petty game is that? You’re not paying but you’re pissed about how he paid. Doesn’t even make sense. Nice try, Butthurt McGurt. 2. Welfare Ballers- Last time I checked, Saks, Nordstrom, Gucci nor Louis Vuitton takes EBT, so miss me with these stories about people on welfare having designer bags when you see them use food stamps. Knock off designer bags copped from the beauty supply but nothing that comes with a certificate and dust bag. I’m not anti-welfare because those who need it eclipse those who abuse it. The amount of money they are allotted each month is not enough for a luxury lifestyle. I’m sure they do the best with what they have but copping $700 handbags…I ain’t going. Yeah, getting those taxes snatched every check hurts but I don’t mind having street lights and fire fighters. The biggest welfare queens are corporations not a person who needs to feed their kids because they got laid off. 3. Education as a weapon – I get so tired of Black women being told such conflicting BS. One minute it’s stop dating thugs and rough necks who drag you down, the next it’s your standards are too high. Too many times, degreed sister are being told that they use their education as weapons against potential mates. The point of going to college is to learn more than you knew before and have a chance at a good job in your field of choice. It is not meant to be used as leverage against men. FOH! I know women who have more corporate jobs who are in loving relationships with blue collar men. Blue collar aka job having LOL. Of course a woman who has a rising career doesn’t want to give Jody her car to drive around while she works all day. C’mon now. Steve Harvey and his front lace mustache can keep telling you to lower your standards if he wants to but you have every right to want to date someone you’re compatible with. 4. Women HATE each other- Bull and shit. I see nothing but declarations of love and sisterhood all the time. From memes about good, clean fun together to booty tooting on club pictures, women love each other. Hell, on my birthday…my girls gave me the most loving and heartfelt messages. I’ve seen men shade and steal from each other. I have a circle of friends who encourage and empower each other and I think we’re the norm. The catty, hateful woman is a stereotype… Sapphire specifically. So yeah. A lot of that shit is some bullshit. If you’re a Black woman and you share a note bashing note or meme, I’m going to assume you’re desperate and just trying to get chose. If you co-sign to sexism to get you a man, you’re good as a doormat. If you’re a dude, well I kind of expect that but still think critically before you hit send. If I’m wrong, I’m a fan of being right. So school me in the comments section…..Pin It

One of the scarier consequences of the Paris Terror Attacks are the waves of renewed xenophobia that have swept Europe’s already seething right wing, and somewhat surprisingly travelled across the Atlantic. The suicide bombings by jihadis were widely mapped in Paris at first, in attempts to comprehend the coordinated suicide bombings and sites at which terrorists struck with AK47’s and Kalshnikovs in quite shocking near-simultaneity. (Coordination of the attacks, which claimed 130 lives, and left 368 wounded, undoubtedly increased their terror, and eerily echoed the parallel hijacking of planes on September 11, 2001, in suggesting vulnerability and geographic reach of an unseen network.) The transformation of reflexive spontaneous public displays mourning the victims or in solidarity with migrants have all too rapidly been replaced in many European cities, as if leading us through a looking glass, into nationalist protests of anti-migrant sentiment, channeling fears that have grown with threats of another attack into neo-nationalist sentiments–as if governments had failed to defend public safety, following on the immediate declaration of a state of emergency, closing of borders, and multiplication of police raids. The initial reflexive show of widespread solidarity of mourning and commemoration at the unprecedented attacks appeared to heal profound shock and disbelief at the murders at outdoor restaurants and night clubs in Paris and attempted assassinations at a soccer stadium attended by the President of the Republic outside the city. Those public displays of sentiment contrasted sharply to how the deadly attacks have fed a new xenophobia in Europe and America, and a deep suspicion of the “other” of the refugee–now increasingly suspected of disguising their own ties to terrorist cells. If these protests appears–inadequately–to orient and focus fears of further terror attacks of such terrifying scale, they suggest the disorientation before the shock of the Paris attacks, if not outright cynical deception. After ISIS claimed responsibility for the coordinated attacks, President Hollande’s immediate declaration that ‘France is at war‘ prepared the stage for a rhetoric of opposition evoking George W. Bush’s declaration of a clash of civilizations, giving broader circulation to a misguided concept first theorized by Samuel P. Huntington, but that gained startling currency to justify the so-called war on terror: it returned as a master-narrative of global oppositions reduced to the easiest alterity of us v. them and cast less in terms of law than religion; if it was readily reclaimed by ISIS news releases to magnify the actions of a group of attackers resident in Belgium who were second-and third-generation immigrants, the group of plotters was not based in Syria. Despite clearly harmful over-simplifications in so faulty an opposition, the narrative have mobilized unjustified fears of infiltration removed from evidence: mapping ties between ISIS and the perpetrators of the attacks shifted nefariously to mapping terror onto Syrian refugees. Only three days after shock and outpouring of global sympathy to shootings that left 129 dead in six simultaneously timed attacks in the city’s center, fears of infiltration of displaced Syrian refugees by ISIS terrorist cells have gained unprecedented currency based on only the flimsiest of circumstantial proofs. It is as if this responds to the relative inadequacy and failure of efforts to comprehend the plight or the scope of needs of Syrian refugees, and shock at the use of military-grade weapons in civil spaces. Many of the multiple attackers in fact held French or Belgian nationality, and for disaffected underemployed Europeans living in the Brussels’ district of Molenbeek and other poor urban neighborhoods, the Islamic State appears to have exercised a particular appeal. And although the attacks were coordinated by the Belgian ISIS Lieutenant Abdelhamid Abaaoud, who sought to impress higher ups with a devastating attack in France, the group of terrorists and gunmen, if many were trained in Syria, are poorly mapped onto Syrians writ large, even if they were adept in evading security forces at airports and in cars. For despite his presence in every available database of terror, Abaaoud evaded suspicion, as did other Paris plotters and Belgian jihadists, who had sequestered large amounts of triacetonea triperoxide explosives and automatic explosives. The danger of terrorist threats and operations is profoundly mis-mapped and poorly apprehended as originating abroad, even if Abaaoud was indeed eager to “do jihad”: ISIS propaganda has lavished praise on the “eight knights” for having “brought Paris down to its knees” but increasing evidence points to local coordination of the attacks, most probably planned and executed by a contingent of Europeans. Yet rather than being coordinated at a remove from secretive locations in Pakistan, Syria, or Yemen, as Al Quaeda, European residents who joined ISIS have apparently hatched plots of their own–as firing automatics at close range in a concert hall or stadium–that reflect ISIS’ increased exploitation of social media and crowd funding to attract jihadis eager to pose beside the black ISIS flag. From ISIS’ online recruiting magazine, Dabiq The topography of the Paris attacks is increasingly reveled to have unfolded in the changing urban sociology of European cities in France and Belgium, and neighborhoods plagued by high unemployment rates and disaffected youth as St. Denis and Molenbeek; although some suspects have indeed traveled to Syria, they are removed from a central command, and seem to have enacted their own fantasies of violence in crowded public spaces (a rock arena and soccer stadium), rather than being orchestrated from abroad as the French President Hollande has asserted: indeed, despite the target of ISIS’s Syrian de facto capital, many of the ISIS higher ups have left the city long ago, and bombs are focussed, it is argued, on empty lots. The perpetrators are among thee roughly one thousand French citizens and six hundred Germans who have travelled to Syria to join the Islamic State; over 3,000 Europeans committed to jihad, attracted in part by IS’s increasingly effective use of the internet as a recruitment and fundraising tool, as well as for diffusing a call to jihad. 1. It is striking how public spectacles of collective mourning have rapidly mutated into frustration to contain deep fears of where terrorists might strike, and desperation at the unexpected attacks–even as parallel protests have occurred sympathetic to the plight of refugees. The government’s official denunciation of attacks as “planned in Syria” have justified airstrikes against the Syrian capital of the Islamic State, led to over 600 raids and numerous house arrests across France, and increased visible military presence in much of the nation. French President François Hollande’s involvement of the army across the country “confirms we are at war“–as is, by extension, suddenly, much of the world. The absence of the face of the “enemy” has led concern to be projected upon the next potentially scary suspect, in an attempt to contain fears of repeat attacks, with the whereabouts of their actual coordinator unknown. We assume that it must be contained in fixed border, and arrive from a place that lies far outside the boundaries of the European Union. Yet if France is at war, where’s the enemy? Molenbeek? The problem of mapping the threat has provided substantiation of deeper fears of the arrival of terror cells in the European Union’s borders whose provenance was limited to the Middle East is no longer tenable, and the bombing of unidentified targets in Syria may not even be an adequate response to a network of men in their late twenties or early thirties, mostly petty criminals, who are presumed to have recently traveled to Syria. Even if their radicalization occurred in Syria, they are not refugees. New York Times The lack of clear compass to where the enemy exists has made the apparent insinuation of terrorism into the European Union so startling that a finger has been quite deceptively pointed toward refugees. A similar lack of knowledge and growing fears of further attacks have come to justify an unprecedented public expansion of xenophobic protests calling for a rethinking of the European Union’s previous decision to admit refugees. These protests, stoked by threats of continued terror attacks, mirror a broad attack on outside, external forces as if they have indeed coordinated the vicious jihadi attacks, and the de facto ISIS capital of Raqqa constitutes an odd localization of the the terrorist threat. Bombings have been unleashed against northern Syria, announced to be in retaliation, concentrated in the operational capital of the Islamic State, have been concentrated on its outskirts. Even in the face of evidence locating coordination of attacks in Paris among local jihadis, the unprecedented intensification of anti-migrant rhetoric across Europe mismaps and exploits the danger of further jihadi attacks in irresponsible ways, largely because of the discovery of a Syrian passport near the corpse of one suicide bomber in the Paris attacks at the Stade de Paris. Marion Ruszniewski/Agence France Presse The Syrian refugee crisis has already provoked severe human rights violations, from sequestrations and confinements to arrests and strip-searches, and numbering, dehumanizing displaced refugees who try to enter Europe in search of residence and work. The renewed currency of ties between terror and migrants have also led American politicians eager to find common ground to condemn Barack Obama’s offers of asylum within the United States to those displaced–as if it constituted a heedless abetting of the spread of terror attacks, mirroring inflated anti-refugee rhetoric throughout the European Union. The wholesale borrowing of such groundless charges from right wing European parties is a particularly toxic manifestation of anti-Islamic xenophobia, transported by means of tweets and social media, and giving rise to a melding of anti-immigrant xenophobia and nationalism that attract an inverse demographic than protests welcoming immigrants in recent months, demanding their repatriation and literally cloaking themselves in regional nationalisms. The protest of Germans anointing themselves as “Patriotic Europeans Against the Islamization of the Occident” hearken back to visions of oppositional political history framed by Karl Schmitt in the Nazi period. The pressure they have put on Germany’s continued promises to resettle refugees has forced its Minster of Justice, Heiko Maas, to caution against equating refugees with terrorists, and affirm the absence of any actual ties between Syrian migrants and the perpetrators of the Paris attacks, and the EU to tighten security on the boundaries on the Schengen region. The actual geography on the ground hasn’t at all changed. But the links already insinuated between hidden terrorist cells and Syrian refugees have materialized as a rationale for collectively turning our backs on the growing refugee crisis as if our actual well being and survival depended on it–and the acceptance of refugees has provided an entry point of sleeper cells who may execute similar attacks. As the manhunt for the terrorists who committed the atrocities has expanded, waves of panic have spread, stoked by accusations that resemble a witch craze, as the association of migrants and terrorists has virally mutated not only in Europe, but migrated across the Atlantic to the United States, in ways that stand to infect political discourse and debate. The recent reassessment of how open America’s doors would remain to refugees–and absurd request for assurances that none would engage in “terroristic activity,” as Greg Abbot of Texas put it, or, as Senator John McCain glibly demanded, while defending migrant asylum, that “there’s a process that prohibits any kind of infiltration like we’ve just seen in Paris,” entirely misses the point. And they stand to expand the waiting-time to process Syrian refugees in the United States beyond the 18 to 24 months now required, and hamstring plans to grant 10,000 refugees asylum in 2016–by requiring the heads of the FBI and Secretary of Homeland Security to personally approve each refugee for entrance, radically reworking practices of processing Syrian and Iraqi refugees at a crucial and sensitive time. The discovery of a passport of the Syrian Ahmad Almohammad, who entered Europe from the island of Leros in Greece and the traversed the Balkans, near one site of terrorist attack offered circumstantial evidence but needed grist to identify refugees who have arrived in Europe with feared terrorist groups. Links between ISIS terrorists and Syrians refugees in Europe acquired the sort of substantiation which politicians believed to exist, even if they were not searching for them. Although no previous proofs of actual connections exist that could have prevented the Paris attacks, the fingerprints of one of the suicide bombers on a Syrian passport has suddenly substantiated fears of terrorist infiltration of groups of millions of undocumented refugees. Such identifying signs, no doubt since they provide the archetypical clues for how the police have apprehended and identified criminals, offer the needed grist for inflammatory ties between national security and displaced Syrian migrants and substantiating long latent xenophobic fears. The documented passage of the holder of the passport through the Greek island of Leros tied to the cluster of deadly attacks under the name Ahmad Almohammad suddenly offered possible grounds to fear potential infiltration by Islamic State operatives among the 1.5 millions displaced entering Europe from Turkey–even though the other perpetrators were of longstanding European residence, including a French national and Belgian resident. The poor sense of the geography of terror is to blame. For even the discovery of the even crudest hand-drawn map of a route from Turkey through Greece and Hungary to Germany provokes speculation about terrorist plots. Suspicions of the presence 4,000 “covert gunmen” in Europe have been stoked by ISIS videos promising further attacks, and led refugees to be stopped on suspicion in Turkish port cities. Ahmad was clearly not the ringleader of the operations–local police finger the Belgian-born jihadist Abdelhamid Abaaoud–but the apparent presence of a Syrian refugee at a site of terror has provided the needed catalyst for expanding increasingly inflammatory rhetoric linking jihadi terrorism to Syrian refugees, despite the unfounded nature of these links. The potential links of terrorist threats and the arrival of Syrian refugees in Europe has been often cited by countries than had already built barbed wire fences in order to discourage the arrival and block the progress of Syrian refugees across the Balkans in the Schengen region. The border barriers built in Greece, Hungary, Bulgaria and Croatia served as physical barriers to transit points of entrance to the Schengen area of passport-free travel– But the identification of the fingerprints–regarded as a clue that conceals the illogical association of guilt with all refugees from the region to seek a home in Europe–has become grounds to criticize whatever agreement existed for resettling refugees within the European Union. And so, three days after outbursts of sympathy and horror at the Paris shootings, panic has been fostered about the fear for admitting terrorists disguised as refugees and displaced. European nations from Poland to Czechoslovakia, a nation already eager to turn away refugees from its borders, and a rousing chorus of tweets from others to close their borders in the light of terror attacks for which ISIS claimed responsibility,–by linking the danger of the further attacks that ISIS has promised to the presence of refugees within their borders, as if accepting refugees constituted surefire vulnerability to further attacks. But even closing borders won’t help stave off the attacks that ISIS promises would be repeated, though the reflexive agenda of far-right politicians in Europe–and, shortly after, in the U.S.–has been surprisingly swift. Poland provided one of the easiest cases for accepting this policy, its new right-wing government having been elected on a platform of anti-migrant platform. Such right-wing opponents of accepting refugees have even found recognition and previously implausible legitimacy as defenders of the common good: they obscure the fact that such home-grown jihadis originate in districts of European cities with unemployment rates exceeds 30%. The Paris attacks may have broken a delicately negotiated managed solution to a growing crisis, despite the reluctance of Austria, Hungary, and other nations. Only shortly after the President of the European Commission, Jean Claude Juncker, instituted an emergency quota system to spread the admittance of an expanding number of refugees who entered the Schengen region among EU member states and their neighbors–requiring almost all of the member states to welcome a total of 160,000 people–the Paris attacks that claimed 129 victims have provided a pretext for Europeans as the incoming Polish president or Slovakia’s government to bend to popular protests against the acceptance of immigrants from Syria and the Middle East. (None other than the now-cranky Lech Walesa has reared his head again as a nationalist spokesperson, asking the world “to remember that Poland has been transitioning from communism for only 25 years.”) Yet the market has little to do with the rampant xenophobia nourished in anti-migrant marches in Polish cities, which have prominently included emblems of explicit nationalist protectionism. But the Euroscepticism of several incoming conservative governments has relished in having found new fodder for their claims. Just after an equably distribution of refugees among Europeans seemed reached, the shock of processing the terrible deaths of innocent civilians in Paris seems to have helped redraw the map again, giving far-right European politicians from Marine Le Pen–tweeting an “immediate halt to all intake of migrants in France”–and Poland’s European Affairs Minister Konrad Symanskic, with Viktor Orbán not far behind, occasion to tweet about the need to close borders to prevent unsubstantiated fears of terrorist infiltration. Even in France, where President Hollande had recently if only grudgingly decided to accept 24,000 displaced refugees over two years, the readiness to evoke fears of admitting unwanted terror cells give expression and justification to longstanding deeply-seated anti-migrant and -immigrant attitudes that have been suddenly given a new boost by conservative social media. While Facebook unveiled the Safety Check app to alert friends ‘I’m Safe’ just after the Paris shootings, post-shooting tweets have disseminated particularly dangerous rallying cries from the right on social media. The rage of tweets from members of the radical right from Filip Dewinter of the Flemish secessionist Vlaams Belsang party to Nigel Farage of England’s UKIP echoed the decision another Eurosceptic, Poland’s Foreign Minister, to use the events to revise his nation’s policy toward migrants. The tragedy has sadly provoked the weirder, post-tragedy tragedy of making it even harder for refugees to be accepted in Europe who are fleeing ongoing civil war, even as that war seems to have visited Europe. The New Xenophobia is of the most dangerous sort–a xenophobia prominently rooted in the fear of enemy agents potentially destabilizing the nation, based on linking the displaced to the most nightmarish event visited on a nation for several years. The new xenophobia stigmatizes the humane acceptance of displaced migrants based on the paranoid fear that displaced migrants, rather than seeking asylum, seek to attack our security and our cities and our homes. The stoking of all this barely logical fear has, back in our own country, somehow swiftly set the stage for the weirdly unpredicted closing of ranks that Presidential candidate Donald Trump couldn’t have possibly foreseen himself. But it stands to add an element of distinct charm to the presidential race: for in the face of President Obama’s humane decision to multiply the number of accepted refugees accepted by the United States from Syria five-fold, a strikingly cynical consensus has emerged among American republicans in the wake of the Paris tragedy that state governors must act as federalist sheriffs to protect the country, and refuse the entry to displaced Syrian refugees which Obama had earlier promised. If Donald Trump has taken the opportunity to impugn the President’ sanity as much as his foreign policy choices– –other candidates have not hesitated to broadcast their own readiness, unlike the President, by implication, to protect similar tragedies in the United States, and rather put at risk the hopes of entry of the 30,000 refugees that the United States government promised it would soon increase from 70,000. Indeed, the strike in Paris, claimed to be the proportional equivalent of the Twin Towers’ destruction in New York City back in 2001, and “France’s 9/11,” has led Republicans to direct renewed attacks on President Obama’s offer to resettle a small share of the refugee crisis to be equated with putting Americans at risk. And so, just three days after the terror attack in Paris, Texas’ Governor, Greg Abbott, took it upon himself to write a letter informing President Obama that, given his experience in dealing with the dangers of migrant crises and immigrant threats, and the foiling of an ISIS-related terrorist attack, and by extension his greater familiarity with terrorist threats, he would refuse to allow Syrians to be placed in the state he represented, and called on the President to “halt your plans to allow Syrians to be resettled anywhere in the United States,” given the possible danger that they pose to the country. The chorus of Republican governors, from Bobby Jindal’s advice of prudence to Charlie Barker of Massachusetts, to Chris Christie of New Jersey, seemed an attempt to drown out the airwaves after shock over the terror attack. The bizarre move imitated far-right European parties again evoked the degree of “unacceptable peril” Republicans have long liked to Obama’s presidency, rather than any material threat. But within a few days, sympathy was overwhelmed by isolationism, as the television news network CNN trumpeted in banner headlines that governors of over half of the states in the union–twenty-seven states–have unilaterally refused to accept Syrian refugees, although the position has limited if any legal ground, in ways that have been imitated by a spate of Republican presidential candidates eager to prove their executive abilities. All have been magically transformed, including Jindal, into foreign policy experts. The map of those still honoring their commitments to accept displaced refugees struggling to find homes appear to be in the vast minority–five states that seem almost foolhardy embraces of national vulnerability, from Vermont to Pennsylvania to Colorado and Washington, against the dominating common sense of declaring closed doors to the displaced. When placed in context of nearly five million Syrian refugees displaced truth, of course, regions of the United States have hardly absorbed their share–and those states whose governors were so quick to condemn the possibly plausible terrorist ties of refugees from Syria or Iraq had admitted far fewer than 300 or 250 refugees since 2011 at most: their governors seem to be showing their own ignorance by taking such a broad stance. The map of those local Republicans who took it upon themselves to retract any offer of resettlement to all displaced Syrians–by far the greatest majority of refugees who left homes with hopes to resettle in Europe–seems not only an eager posing as patriots, or launch grenades at the existing foreign policy of the Obama White House yet again, but reveals an unforeseen opportunism as well as little familiarity with the workings of the federal government: those most quick to reject entry to refugees as if this were within their competence responded to the fears of their own constituents, or so it looks in the below visualization printed by the New York Times–the graphic may not map clearly onto where displaced Syrians have been relocated or placed, but to the demographics that local politicians seek to reach. The declaration spread like a meme, at any rate, over the airwaves of the United States, alerting constituents that their immediate governors would not place them at risk–as, by implication, the folly of the President had, and Hillary Clinton and the Democrats had been uniformly duped to advocate. And it is not a surprise, to enter the world of the archeology of data visualizations, that they mirror those states that reject the federal government’s expansion of Health Reform. And so, the entire party has been associated with irresponsibility, and the other accepted xenophobia as the cry of the day. Quickly, not only Donald Trump but Marco Rubio and Chris Christie and Ted Cruz have joined in calling for shutting the borders to the displaced, and Bobby Jindal can appear a model of executive authority–whose deeply felt opinions illustrate little familiarity with constitutional law or Geneva Conventions. New York Times The opportune nature of such a quick in-step realignment of the debate about immigration took up its lines went without much comment. But it unsurprisingly seems to replicate opportune lines of political pandering at its worst: if it was the ultimate insult to most refugees, and the perhaps poorest forms of protection mirrored political opportunism below the historical 48th in the United States parallel that so sadly seems to continue to divide north and south, and have little correspondence to the areas where most of Syrian extraction live–or Syrian refugees have been placed by the US Government since 2012, and mirror the red/blue divide, as configured in these cartograms reflecting the electoral results of Presidential elections of 2004 (state by state) and 2012 (county by county). What do they have in mind? Out-Trumping Trump? Winning, more likely, or hoping to do so by stoking fears and bringing them to the surface again. For the close-minded knee-jerk refusal stokes the most unfounded fears in the wake of the tragic terrorist attacks that we are all vulnerable: and to pretend we are living in the shadow of 9/11, when Republicans once unbelievably came to be improperly equated with protecting our nation’s safety and common good, and to wallow in complete amnesia by bandying about the word “terrorism,” ISIS, and “terror attack” with undue frequency to suggest the benefits of responsibly closing our frontiers. The good old days.
As Bitcoin hovers around $46K, altcoins have taken off in the past couple of days. Alts Cardano and Solana are making higher highs from a week and are fueling to hit new ATH. Popular pseudonyms analyst Pentoshi in his recent tweet makes a bullish case for Solana(SOL), Dogecoin(DOGE) and it’s competitor Shiba Inu(SHIB). Additionally he also gives his two cents on Bitcoin and Ethereum. The analyst says, after clearing out resistance at $0.23 and converting it to support, Dogecoin (DOGE) is poised to rise to $0.42. “DOGE about to melt faces. I don’t make the rules, and certainly won’t bet against meme culture, Elon Musk, and Mark Cuban.” Smart contract platform Solana (SOL) is another currency on the trader’s radar, which he describes as the “most bullish asset in the space right now.” However, he says even though he is bullish on SOL, it isn’t the best time to buy as it has just pumped 26%. He further opines, after a brief consolidation early in the week, a new weekly low and a fall can be looked for. Although, there’s a lot of upside coming. Shiba Inu (SHIB) Next up on the list is the Doge competitor Shiba Inu. The analyst says, SHIB is expected to rise 33 percent from its current price of $0.000009 to $0.000012. The analyst also chimed in on BTC price action. He believes, Bitcoin in the coming days will correct as it trades around major resistance at $48K. As for Ethereum, he says, the second-largest crypto asset is also expected to cool off and print a higher low at $2,800.
