I don’t think I’m ever going to get the appeal of pivoting to video for podcasts. I’ve been listening to podcasts for 20 years, and never once have I thought, my God, I need to SEE these people! I’m on a walk or doing the dishes, I don’t need video.

Do you have to write a whole article to give yourself permission to feel joy, all while beating yourself up and quoting other people beating themselves up? If you actually participate in fandom—making things with other people—you don't sit there stewing in your constant-consumption shame-hole.

ICYMI, Fansplaining lifted the paywall on my first three Lanterns recaps, so they're now available to free subscribers! Some thoughts from episode 3: fansplaining.com/lanterns-rai...
This whole journey began with John Stewart's father “failing” a test by having a natural human response to a terrifying situation. John’s training is then designed to eliminate that natural response, employing methods that any right-minded person would classify as abuse. In the process, John’s parents create a rift between their children and give John a warped conception of his purpose in life. No five-year-old should be handed a gun and told that he has a special destiny—and as an adult, John is still chasing his parents’ dream with no visible relationships of his own.
 
There’s a lot to consider here regarding why John still wants to become a Lantern. As viewers, we expect heroes to make moral choices that go against the grain of societal expectations. Many superheroes are actually outlaws, filling the gaps in a corrupt or incompetent legal system. 
 
Yet in order to earn the ring, John must take the opposite approach. His traineeship is formalized when he confirms that he’ll follow the Guardians’ orders even if they make him uncomfortable, echoing the way he agreed to assassinate an enemy of the U.S. government with no questions asked. It’s an intriguingly cynical foundation for the show’s depiction of the Green Lantern Corps, further complicating our view of who deserves to wield the ring."

historical aristocratic childrearing where the children were largely raised by other people are funny on some level just because it’s like. what if we make it so the people in charge of everything all have a deadbeat mom and dad. double absentee parents. this will surely make a society so normal,

So when a well-resourced outlet publishes a similar story to my own, from a journalist seemingly with no fandom experience who has read my story, without citing it, it is incredibly disheartening. As a working class freelancer, the feeling of exploitation hits on several levels.

When I write a feature like the one being discussed here, I am drawing on decades of experience in fandom and years of (unpaid or under-compensated) labor spent studying and writing about fan culture professionally. I do this work because I think fan culture merits earnest, thoughtful analysis.

There is a lot to say about the Nolan Odyssey movie. But one point that I think has not been emphasized enough is: this is a film about living in LA, as Nolan, my erstwhile British compatriot and age mate, has done for years. I gather it’s a strange place.

Props to consumer reports for their journalism here. Since Taylor foods and the FDA are not disclosing where all the lettuce went they’re doing a great job trying to figure out the details. For now they’re recommending everyone trash all their iceberg. www.consumerreports.org/health/food-...
The recall notices posted by Taylor Farms and the FDA are notably sparse on the essential details consumers need to easily identify affected products. The recall notice does not list the full brand names of the implicated products, and instead lists only what appear to be the abbreviations used internally by Taylor Farms to identify brands.
Walmart's Marketside house brand, for instance, was listed as "MKTSD" and Sysco, the U.S.'s largest food distributor, was listed as "SY." Both companies confirmed that their products were part of the recall after being contacted by Consumer Reports. CR is working to confirm the identities of the six additional brands whose names are abbreviated in the recall notice. Taylor Farms did not immediately respond to CR's questions about the identity of these brands.
Given the lack of details, CR's food safety experts advise consumers in the 27 states where Taylor Farms' products were distributed to discard all iceberg lettuce out of an abundance of caution.

I would kill or die for Larry
A small operation in Oregon that hunts truffles with a trained dog has added an unpaid trainee. A cat named Larry accompanies the handler and the truffle dog into the woods every outing, works a patch of ground a little apart from them, and digs with tremendous confidence in places where there is nothing.
The handler says Larry has never found a truffle and shows no sign of understanding the assignment. He does not use scent the way the dog does and he does not respond when the dog makes a find.
He simply digs his own holes nearby and then inspects them. "He thinks he's on the team," the handler said. "He is emphatically not on the team."
