Tennis players at the US Open complaining it smells like weed. In MY city? In MY queens? You are complaining about weed stank right outside of Corona Park? Would you complain about the stench from our runoff drains? The reek of our smokestacks? The combo BO and poo and ancient trash odor in the subways? Pathetic. Grow up. Enjoy the skunk.

LCD Soundsystem Announces The Tri Boro Tour for 2023

The Facebook Post: it’s that time of year. we’re playing in new york again, but it’s a little different this time. It’s the tri boro tour. last year we played 20 shows at brooklyn steel, which, while fun, nearly killed us all (as soon as we were done i immediately got sick for 2 weeks). we also kind of couldn’t remember the first, say, 14 shows because we were just grinding and holding on for…

Arash featuring Rebecca Zadig - Temptation 2005

"Temptation" is a 2005 major hit single by Iranian-Swedish singer Arash featuring Rebecca Zadig and taken from Arash's self-titled debut album. The music for "Temptation" is from "Baila Maria", a Spanish tune recorded by Ishtar Alabina featuring Los Niños de Sara in 1996. "Temptation" in its own right has been subject of many covers and in a number of languages.

"Temptation" was first recorded by Swedish singer Rebecca Zadig with additional lyrics and rendition vocals featuring Arash, who started his career performing under his mononym Alex. The first version had English as main vocals by Zadig featuring Arash that interpreted some additional Persian language lyrics. "Temptation" was re-released as a song mainly in the Persian language, this time crediting Arash as the main vocalist, and Rebecca Zadig was reduced to a featuring role. This release became the definitive version and was Arash's third successful consecutive single after "Boro Boro" and "Tike Tike Kardi" (poll #137). The song credited to Arash made it to number 2 on the Swedish Singles Chart, and also charted in Germany, Switzerland and Finland.

In 2005, a Russian language version of the song was made by Arash with the Russian girl group Blestyaschie. The song titled "Vostochniye skazki" (Eastern fairytales) was credited to Blestyaschie featuring Arash. In 2006, the South African cover boyband Hi-5 covered the song in Afrikaans under the title "Versoeking". It was a main single and the title track of their album. In 2015, the Dutch group Wing-Men covered the song in Dutch under the title "Verleid Mij", and released it as their debut single.

"Temptation" received a total of 75,4% yes votes! Previous Arash polls: #137 "Tike Tike Kardi".

So I (🔎) decided to dig more into 2016 because I had plenty of evidence for overlap but also didn't lol. Note this was Azzi's first year with Fairfax Stars and Paige played for North Tartan. Long story short, there was overlap but they were in different divisions. Paige played on NT 8th team the summer before her 9th. Azzi was apparently playing on a 10th grade team the summer before her 8th grade. But they were indeed in the same locations.

---------------------------------

North Tartan Summer Jam - June 2016 (No Overlap I can tell)

A fun little quoted tweet from North Tartan account in 2016 featuring Fairfax Stars and Azzi Fudd lol "They are legit"

https://x.com/NorthTartan/status/744032001620082690

Fairfax Stars 15U displays 3 future BCS players. Malu Tshitenge 6-4 C 2019 Elizabeth Martino 5-10 G 2020 & 2021 Azzi Fudd 5-10 G 2021.

The same guy tweeted on the same day:

https://x.com/brethoops/status/744011067588653057

North Tartan Starks 2020 team features Trifecta Paige Bueckers 5-10 G Mallory Brake 6-0 F & MacKenzie Kramer 5-7 PG. 3 future talents.

Now looking at the schedule for Summer Jam 2016, Azzi's Fairfax 15U did play North Tartan 10th EYBL but Paige actually wasn't on this team yet and played on the 8th NT team. Hence why they never played.

Tournament Schedule:

https://tourneymachine.com/Public/Results/Division.aspx?IDTournament=h201510192243367598877fa9d1c264f&IDDivision=h20160609131643192b6faa6c1558d4b

Azzi played several levels up while Paige did not participate in this tournament it seems (it only included North Tartan 9th and up). Now if you are wondering why Paige didn't play levels up I refer you to this tweet years later from her coach: https://x.com/22TTStarksMom/status/1151503192166948864

AAU Super Showcase - July 2016 in Atlanta (Overlap)

Then, Azzi had this tweet from July 2 2016: https://x.com/azzi_35/status/749378901768536065

AAU Sup Showcase Sched Wed 7/6 3:00pm vs. North Tartan - ct. 7

They were both at the super showcase but again, same deal - different divisions. https://image.aausports.org/dnn/girlsbasketball/2016/supershowcase/9-11SSTEAMS.pdf

They ended up advancing but losing to North Tartan (not Paige's team).

https://x.com/FairfaxStars/status/751563695000543232

Paige's team won the super showcase for 9th grade

Her team was undefeated in July thus far

https://x.com/NorthTartan/status/753285630654906368

Azzi was part of the Sophomore Division as part of the all tournament team:

-------------------------

On a different note - you can pull some scouting comments for Azzi's game since she was in middle school: https://nyghoopsreport.com/search?query=Azzi%20Fudd

Also the North Tartan twitter congratulating Azzi's team in 2017 and 2018 which I found endearing.

https://x.com/NorthTartan/status/876517915373309953

https://x.com/NorthTartan/status/1008389932413603841

I particularly enjoy "standing room only" for their match up in 2018: https://x.com/preferredscout/status/1008061107330789376

Last random thing I found - here's an incredibly old interview of Paige, my guess is from 2017 just from the headband

https://x.com/MrCmonNow/status/1167555153169268736

I don't know what to say other than bravo. Phenomenons from a young age ✨.

At long last, it is time to invoke my birthday trivia! I love your pieces on the color pie and I’m a huge Assassin’s Creed fan, so I’d love if you had any interesting trivia on AC cards that the Council of Colors discussed or tweaked. If nothing comes to mind, I am a massive fan of Boros and Minotaurs; if there’s any trivia about Boros Minotaurs, that would be lovely, or either individually. I get a ton from DtW and Making Magic, keep up the wonderful work!

In Theros block, Minotaurs power and toughness had to add up to a least 5. We made one exception later in the block.

Happy Birthday!

[azorius-eloquence]

Saw an Azorius Lawmage and Boros Legionnaire fight in the street today. Ignoring the fact that this is severely in violation of Code A-5 of Ravnican Guild Intermingling Behaviors 2nd Edition, I did guiltily watch for far longer than I should have. Is this why The Rakdos are so obsessed with watching violence? It’s…cleansing.

The Role of Sarada Uchiha in “Boruto: Two Blue Vortex”

The importance of Sarada Uchiha in the series has undergone significant changes throughout the series, and it is important to highlight three key stages in the development of her character.

These three stages have been outlined by the two main writers of the series, Kishimoto and Kodachi.

1st Stage: Kishimoto's Introduction

Let's remember that Sarada and Boruto were the first two characters of the new generation whose foundations and relationship were established by Kishimoto. He presents both characters as a duality that marks the beginning of the series. Through their childhood fights and encounters, a complex friendship is shown that reveals the true character and desires of both characters, who carry important legacies on their shoulders and have big dreams in their hearts. This stage covers from...

The last chapter of Naruto Ch. 700; Boruto: The Movie; Boruto: The Movie (Novel); Naruto: The Seventh Hokage and the Scarlet Spring; the 5 novels of Boruto: Naruto Next Generations; Sasuke Shinden: Shitei no Hoshi; Naruto Shinden: Oyako no Hi

2nd Stage: Kodachi's Era

Kodachi takes control of the manga and begins its serialization based on the foundations established by Kishimoto, respecting his canon and, at the same time, incorporating his own script into the story. We continue to see Sarada's important interactions with Boruto, as well as her own development. Her climax comes during the fight against Boro, but suddenly her role is relegated to simply being Boruto's team mate until she disappears from the manga, becoming a recurring character. Sarada's last appearance under Kodachi's direction is in Chapter 44 of the manga.

3rd Stage; 2nd Era of Kishimoto:

Starting from Chapter 52, Kishimoto takes over the complete writing of the manga, closing Kodachi's storylines and introducing characters that would change the direction of the story. It is from Chapter 69 where Kishimoto reintroduces Sarada and gradually restores her importance as one of the pillars of the plot, thus regaining her initial relevance in the development of the story.

It is important to highlight that Sarada is reintroduced into the narrative with a clear desire: to be an important support for Boruto, someone he can trust and rely on. Sarada doesn't want her best friend to bear all the burden on his shoulders and longs to be capable of protecting him. From a young age, they have always been there for each other unconditionally. Kishimoto presents us again with the duality between both characters, and it is in Chapter 79 where everything finally makes sense. Sarada is destined to save the protagonist, breaking Momoshiki's prophecy and giving Boruto a second chance, putting herself in a vulnerable position within the village. Sarada, the daughter of the traitor (she is the one who begs Sasuke to save Boruto), is seen as a rebel who supports the enemy. Combined with the history of her clan, Sarada is excluded and degraded to a Genin.

By now, you may be wondering: Does Sarada's character depend on Boruto? Well, the answer was mentioned before: Kishimoto set up Sarada and Boruto as a duality, two characters that feed off each other and whose individual storylines have points of connection, basically an analogy of Yin & Yang. The franchise makes many references to Japanese folklore tales and Shinto and Buddhist mythology of Japan, so it shouldn't surprise fans.

"Boruto & Sarada Their eyes tell a story that the most powerful jutsu even couldn't erase… A love story"

Its Sarada's POV that opens the story of "Boruto: Two Blue Vortex." Sarada is immune to omnipotence because that's what Kishimoto needs for the writing. Sarada is the only living witness (besides Eida and the own Boruto) to the entire life story of Boruto. They grew up together and have formed a very complex but important bond of love. Boruto reappears to protect Sarada from Code without her asking him to, he came and stood in front to take care of her because both would give their lives to protect each other. And take note that this will be a critical point in the plot and something that has been building since the beginning of the series.

On the other hand, Eida and Daemon begin to suspect Sarada and Sumire due to Sarada's insistence on uncovering how to reverse the jutsu and understanding Eida's powers. We know how dangerous Daemon can be if he considers them a threat to his sister, or if Eida personally asks Daemon to kill them.

We must not forget that Sarada is an Uchiha. This conditions and enriches her character, making her a user of one of the most powerful and legendary dojutsus in the series: the Mangekyou Sharingan. Although the Mangekyou does not reach the level of shinjutsu or karma, it is a dojutsu of divine lineage that can bring about significant plot twists. It can grant space-time abilities, high-level genjutsus such as Kotoamatsukami and Tsukuyomi, the divine weapons of Susanoo, and even partially alter reality. It may not reach the level of karma or shinjutsu, but she has a very dangerous weapon in her hands that will eventually be decisive in the narrative.

We must not forget Sarada's psychoemotional context; she is intelligent, cunning, determined, is a leader and highly educated, she wants to be the Hokage, she wants to protect the people she loves & Konoha, but she is still an Uchiha. Her bloodline carries a great weight in her emotions, making her irritable and reactive. She is deeply affected by everything that has happened in the past three years: Sasuke is being hunted, so her family is separated again, Boruto is unjustly condemned as a criminal and deserter because of Omnipotence, the seventh, her role model, is presumed “dead”, and she has been ostracized. She lives in a world blinded by a false reality, the perfect cocktail to build a story of drama, power, and love, befitting the heir of the Uchiha Clan.

Felidar (Monster)

(Felidar Sovereign by Zoltan Boros)

(I'm posting for the time being! Expect two posts a week right now.

Magic the Gathering has a habit of creating types of beast to make their settings more fleshed out and fill out the mechanical slot of "generic large beast" in different places- felidar, krushok, cerodon, thoctar... all are creatures with a defined look and name. They're fun targets for monster creating, and I'm generally looking to make these Magical Beasts to keep it interesting. I started with Felidar because, well, I love big cats. As with all my creatures, I tried to give them a fun plot hook.)

CR6 NG Large Magical Beast

Felidar are large catlike predators typically found in mountainous regions, where they use their powerful roars and expert climbing skills to hunt down and kill prey. Felidar are more intelligent than an animal, though not by much- they have no true language, and prefer to live in simple family units or just hunt alone. Perhaps their most intelligent aspect is their knowledge of magic and magical places, as well as a capability for empathy- a felidar who sees an injured humanoid is willing to provide healing, and one whose trust has been gained will often lead humanoids to places of great magic potential- or to the location of a dangerous interloper or creature that needs to be dealt with for the good of the mountain.

Felidar are beings connected to the Plane of Positive Energy, and a vivacious life flows through them. One pint of felidar blood can be used as 100gp of materials to craft any potion of the Healing subschool. Felidar never give this blood freely, instead using their roar or Cure Moderate Wounds spell-like ability- some unscrupulous mages take this blood by force, typically injuring or killing these majestic animals.

This large cat has a splendid rack of antlers upon its head, its horns and insides glowing with a vivacious life.

The first roar startles; each enemy within the area of effect must make a Will save or trigger an attack of opportunity.

Misc- CR6 NG Large Magical Beast HD7 Init:+3 Senses: Perception:+13, Low-Light Vision

Special Qualities- Roar, Vigilant

Ecology- Environment- Mountains (Any) Languages- None Organization- Solitary Treasure- None

Special Abilities- Roar (Su)- A felidar’s roar is imbued with supernatural power. It can make one of these special roars three times a day as a standard action; each successive roar has a different effect depending on if it’s the first, second, or third roar of the day. Each roar is a 60ft cone with a save DC of 16. The DC is constitution-based.

The second roar harms, dealing 7d6 sonic damage to all creatures- ally or enemy- within the area of effect, Reflex save for half.

The third roar restores, healing all allies within the area of effect 7d8 damage and removing the shaken, frightened, or panicked condition.

Vigilant (Ex)- A felidar is never considered to be flat-footed.

[greenaswildfire]

I was thinking... (spoilers, spoilers everywhere)

the writing decision of focusing so much on the fact that Aegon's parts were burnt root and stem is probably related to the future alliance with the Baratheons, right?

If they don't change it (lmao), almost at the end of the Dance Alicent comes up with a marriage pact, this time with Aegon instead of Aemond, and Boros's daughter. But with Aegon's inability to produce heirs, how will that work now? Will this alliance still hold?

Oh well, they'll probably use it as an excuse to justify Boros betraying the Greens. Because nope, if TB is betrayed, the Greens must also have at least one betrayal to make up for the huge difference of loyalties :)

In terms of important Houses I can't remember any house betraying the Greens (Great Houses, not others like House Peake or Fossoway). I consider quite curious how, in terms of Black side, House Arryn and House Stark took their sweet time to help them. These two Houses pulled a Late Lord Frey, way before Walder frey was even born lmao

And it's not even secret that Rhaenyra's mother was an Arryn, everybody knew House Arryn would side with the Blacks anyway, the realm knew House Arryn would be a rebel House and still, Jeyne Arryn is shown as very cautious, letting Rhaenyra fend for herself instead of helping her. (Can't blame her though, she was probably the only actually smart woman in this show who wasn't butchered by plot in order to prop Rhaenyra up)

And I won't even mention the Starks. With the reddit leaks I'm very, VEEEERY curious to see the reason behind this late help. Everything depends on whose version will prevail, Condal's or Hess's.

If we take these two houses into account, we have: Strong, Stark, Velaryon, Arryn (and maybe Blackwoods?) betraying the Blacks for their own purposes, not to mention Rosby who made very clear Rhaenyra's hypocrisy, but I doubt they mention anything about this House, right? :D

And when it comes to the Greens... only the Tullys and the Brackens (but as far as we know, their leader was burned by Daemon for refusing to bend the knee, so maaaaaybe they won't even remember them in S3?).

5 (maybe 6) vs 1 (maybe 2), woah, quite a difference in loyalties, even more considering how the Green side has always been the one with less support and dragons.

The thing is: iirc, the allies that betrayed the Greens weren't motivated by distrust in them, or the crown's misdeeds against them (like what happened with Arryn, Stark and Velaryons in TB). It was due to circunstances and manipulation tactics, otherwise, they would have stayed loyal to the greens.

Team Black NATURALLY doesn't inspire loyalty.

So they thought "how can we balance things and make the Blacks look like they inspire more loyalty than the greens???? Oh! How about find a way to shake the Green alliance with Boros Baratheon? Between a Green eunuch with a crown and Rhaenyra's two boys, Boros has more chances of power with her than with Aegon.

Condal, Hess, you can't fool us. We can predict all your moves.

Such a shame though, because by the looks of things it won't even be someone from TG who is going to kill her (if that ever happens in this fanfic of theirs), is most likely someone from TB itself because they simply have no enemies anymore.

Which is far worse PR move for a team who loves to boast about "how Aegon was poisoned by his own allies" :) Hackondal and Mess are stuck with this ending, unlessss they bring back Sunfyre and follow the book. But Rhaenyra, killed by a TG? Naah, it wouldn't be tragic girlboss enough for her. I place my bets on TB.

[dungeonmastersconsortium]

The anime for One Punch Man really is just SO GOOD. It's a different experience from both the webcomic and the manga, but like... the animation is just SO good, and pleasant to watch in my opinion. The fight scenes are BEAUTIFUL, and it really does a good job of reflecting that all the high-tier heroes around Saitama could ACTUALLY have their own shows/mangas that would be REALLY cool or interesting or funny (with only a few S-tier exceptions). The sparring match between Saitama and Genos as early as episode 5 in season 1 is just... Like, it shows off Genos at "Season Finale" levels of fight-scene badassery, which only adds to the humor of the show.

The fight with BOROS? It's so good. Unbelievably so. It's climactic, it's beautifully rendered, it's backed by an outstanding soundtrack, and it's somehow both emotionally rewarding AND funny in a way that's hard to describe.

The music FUCKS throughout the whole series, the animation is gorgeous, stylistic, and fluid... and the dub (don't come at me with "subs are better," I have a hard time watching shows not in English unless I can devote my whole attention to it, and it's harder for me to read tone) is actually really good, in my opinion.

Go watch one punch man. It's SO much fun. I don't use this phrase lightly, because it implies the concept is bad, but honestly? One Punch Man gives off the vibes of "This has no right to be as good as it is," probably because I started with the webcomic, and didn't read the manga between the webcomic and the anime. (though I went back to the manga and enjoyed it too.)

Analyzing Invention: Jan-Aug 2024

We are now two-thirds through 2024. Each week, a new challenge has appeared as part of the Inventor's Fair, a Magic: the Gathering card design contest blog here on Tumblr.

For the uninitiated, each week, a design challenge is announced on the blog and members of the community create cards meeting the design specifications. At the end of the week, a few winners and runner-ups are selected from the submission.

So let's take a look at some of the trends so far this year - January through August.

Art. Katerina of Myra's Marvels. Illustrated by Gaboleps

The Contests

Through August, there have been 33 contests: 11 being led by @abelzumi, 10 being led by @spooky-bard, and the rest led by an assortment of judges (Note: there were 6 contest in which the judge didn't identify themselves).

Throughout these 33 contests, there have been 723 entries, spread over 110 unique participants. Of those participants, there have been 17 who have submitted at least 17 submissions (50+% participation). A special shout-out to @nine-effing-hells for their 33 submissions.

On average, there have been 22 participants per contest, with the highest being Common Wonders (30 participants) and the lowest being a tie between My Better Half, War Never* Changes and Spoiled for Choice (16 participants).

Fig. 1 - Line Graph of the Number of Entries Per Contest. Blue dots represent the number of entries for a contest, and the green line represents the 3-contest average.

The Submissions

As previously mentioned, there have been 723 unique entries (some of which had multiple designs, such as all the ones submitted for My Better Half).

In previous evaluations, we looked at all sorts of data: such as card types, mana value, and rarities. While prepping for this iteration, I asked what folks would like to see. The request: let's see some color breakdowns. So let's deep-dive!

Starting off, let's look at general color identities. If they are at least partial in the color, they'll be included here. In order:

Black: 232

Blue: 224

Red: 215

White: 211

Green: 156

Most of the colors are pretty close in the number of entries, except poor ol' green. This is the same from what we saw in the January-April update as well. (The order then was almost the exact same, with just blue and black swapping places).

The pattern is similar when we look at solely mono color entries, with Blue and Red swapping places:

Black: 91

Red: 87

Blue: 83

White: 80

Green: 55

Fig. 2 - Image of Kermit the Frog, with text saying "It's not easy bein' green".

Now let's dip into a well we haven't before: multi-color entries!

Based on our general color tendencies, you might think Dimir (blue-black) OR Rakdos (black-red) would be in the top spot. And while they do make a good showing (at #2 and #4 respectively), the top spot might surprise you:

Orzhov (W B): 35

Dimir (U B): 34

Izzet (U R): 30

Rakdos (B R): 26

Azorius (W U): 24

Boros (R W): 23

Simic (G U): 22

Gruul (R G): 20

Selesnya (G W): 16

Golgari (B G): 13

Unsurprisingly, all 4 green guilds were lowest on the list. I was surprised that Golgari was lowest though, with the general black designs being the most prominent.

For three colors, most of the 10 options are fairly close, between 3 and 5 entries each. The slight stand-out was Abzan (W B G) with 6. There has been only a single 4-color design, Atraxa's Command designed by @khyrberos (g w u b), and four 5-color designs.

There have also been 35 colorless cards designed. I'll give a note here on lands - since we are looking a color identity and not mana cost, many lands are in a color bucket, not just here in colorless land.

Well, that about sums things up for this time around. It's always cool to see everyone's submissions each week as part of the @inventors-fair! Y'all are awesome, and I can't wait to see what designs you come up with through the end of the year. And maybe, just maybe, think about adding some green :).

Was anybody going to tell me than in some versions, both Achilles and Patroklos have sisters?

@t0yearnf0r made me discover Patroklos’ sister, through my little research I found out about Achilles’.

Polydora (Achilles’ sister) do is mentioned in one passing line during the iliad (which I can’t believe I forgot) but it’s have been up for debate. The line is

"Menestheus of the dancing-breastplate led one contingent, son of the swift-flowing river Sperkheios whom the daughter of Peleus, beautiful Poludôrê bore when she shared the bed with the indomitable river-god, Sperkheios, although by reputation he was the son of Boros, the son of Periêrês who wooed her openly by offering countless gifts."

-Iliad. 16.173-178

(No idea who the translator is, I got that passage from the internet + my copy of the iliad is not in English)

Some say she’s the daughter of another Peleus, that’s she’s a bastard child and she’s just never mentioned because her birth is shameful, or that Achilles never mentions her because she’s dead.

What’s more confusing, she has different possible mothers regarding who you ask (she might be a child of Peleus, but certainly not of Thetis). Some say her mother was Antigone (not our tragic girl Antigone, but Antigone, supposed wife of Peleus and daughter of Eurytion).

She must have been a bit older than Achilles since by all accounts Peleus fathered her before (1) the Kalydonian Boar Hunt, (2) the sacking of Iolkos and (3) the Voyage of the Argo. She would likely have been raised in a separate household from Achilles and married off before he went to study with the centaur Chiron!

Excerpt from this article

Another version makes her the daughter of Patroklos' mother and Peleus. Which makes her both Achilles and Patroklos’ half sister. Wtf happened over there.

We know less about Myrto (Patroklos’ sister), but she’s mentioned once by Plutarch.

Now Eucleia is regarded by most as Artemis, and is so addressed; but some say she was a daughter of Heracles and of that Myrto who was daughter of Menoetius and sister of Patroclus, and that, dying in virginity, she received divine honors among the Boeotians and Locrians. For she has an altar and an image built in every market place, and receives preliminary sacrifices from would-be brides and bridegrooms.

-Plutarch, Life of Aristides 20. 5

(Don’t know the translator either)

She was apparently one of herakles’ lovers, and mothered a daughter who is pretty successful (has an altar and image in every market place and is regarded by most as artemis).

I don’t know if she’s related to Patroklos’ by mother too
