Every so often, I remember to donate some cash to Wikipedia, and articles like this are good reminders on why we should

France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces. Equals 10 nuclear reactors Reduces heat island, shades cars The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight. Why aren't we doing this?

Honestly, anyone who says “it doesn’t matter” is telling you more about themselves than about any reality on the ground.

On our SDCC panel, @daphneolive.bsky.social—who went from fandom podcasting to working on TV—talked about the balance the Percy Jackson writers have to strike adapting books that have been so fundamental to younger readers. ✨ Watch or read a full transcript: www.fansplaining.com/articles/sdc...
Screenshot of text reading:

I think it is partly maybe because I’m the person who is most recently from a fandom background, but also, maybe it’s because it’s children’s books, not that just children read [Percy Jackson]...it’s a story that’s so essential to some peoples’ sense of self. So I just feel like in some ways, we’re preserving something that is bigger than anyone involved in it...

Yes, we have to tell a good story. Obviously this is an adaptation. Obviously we have to adapt for television—books and television are different. All of those things, but... it’s a sacred text for a lot of people.

Went to #SDCC and I could not have asked for a better start and end. Percy Jackson S2 panel to begin the festivities and IWTV S3 panel on my last night. I am so so proud of the PJO actors, their poise, and togetherness, and the wonderful people they are. (The EPs are not too shabby as well 💙)

So excited to be on my first ever panel at my first ever San Diego Comic-Con! My Black Sails / The Old Man / Percy Jackson and the Olympians selves will all be one. Hope to see you there!
The SDCC panel I will be on: The Fandom Advantage: How Fan Creativity Fuels Pro Entertainment Careers

Location: Neil Morgan Auditorium, San Diego Central Library, Saturday, July 26 at noon. 

Creativity. Collaboration. Thinking about The Character in way too much detail. Fandom gives you a unique set of skills for creating things future fans will connect with. These award-winning creators got their start (and are still spending time) in fan spaces. How did that translate to professional success—and how does fandom shape their work? With Javier Grillo-Marxuach (The Witcher, Lost), Daphne Olive (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, The Old Man), Lin Codega (Motheater, Interview with the Vampire), Britta Lundin (Will Trent, Riverdale), Tessa Gratton (The Mercy Makers, Star Wars: The High Republic), and Brent Lambert (Tordotcom, FIYAH Literary Magazine). Moderated by Elizabeth Minkel (Fansplaining).

I guess this helps explain his complete misunderstanding of everything about LOTR.

It is cold comfort to know how little they seem to understand the text they embrace. But still some comfort. How do they not see which side they would be cast in that world?

Does anyone know the story of how they chose to name the company Palantir? I used to think it was funny and a result of misunderstanding literature. Lately started thinking it is a way scarier reasoning.

The insane, cold, hyper-intelligent villain of every other movie from my childhood didn’t believe the human race should survive in its current form, wanted to free us of the limitations of our bodies, and believed that immortality was possible (and desirable). Why are we messing w/these guys?

If I read or hear “waving Mexican flags” one more time… How many parades and protests and cultural events and establishments in the US involve flags from peoples’ families’ countries of origin? That is one of the *beautiful* aspects of our country!

Don't let Trump and Musk's feud obscure their fundamental agreement: Both men and the party they own are committed to taking as much as possible from Americans who need help in order to give to those who have more than they could ever want www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Musk and Trump Still Agree on One Thing
Whatever they may be fighting about, they are both committed to showering tax cuts on Americans who already have more than they need.
