"The world out there is marked by survival, by a kind who refuses to die. And here we are. A kind who will never know death, and yet we're fighting to live. There is beauty in what we are; shouldn't we too try to survive?"

Season 2 of Westworld may not have been flawless, but it was still an exceptionally entertaining season of television. It expanded on the world the first season set up in interesting new ways, and delivered one of the most action-packed seasons of pure robotic revolution.

Dawn Of The Simfected: Meet The Neighbours

(3)

You can create your own Sims or add these ones to your game. They'll all play a part in the challenge. Find them under suesimming in the gallery

The Partner

You've always liked your neighbour Dizzy. She's odd but sweet and always takes care of everyone in your building. When the virus hits, you two decide to team up and what you learn about her really surprises you. First, she's a very country Sims and can clean and cook fish like you've never seen. Second, she's packing and thank goodness because the neighbours seem to want to snack on you. Third, she's hot. She's the prefect survival partner.

The Herbalist

While hiding in the woods waiting for the worst of the R8-GE virus to pass, you meet Jayla. She knows everything about plants and how to use them to heal. When someone in camp falls deadly ill, Jayla steps in and saves them. When winter starts to draw near, you know you have to move your group to lower ground to avoid the worst of the snow and Jayla agrees to go with.

The Rooftop Camp

At The Caboose you can get warm coffee, a cold brew and whatever Bill is cooking up. He has a big heart, a great sense of humour and nothing scares him. Not even Sims that want him on the menu. He sets up camp on the roof of his building and provides a landing spot for Sims fleeing the city

The Kid

One night you meet this little runt, running from a bunch of hooligans. You feel sorry for the kid but the virus is everywhere and you know by taking her in you are exposing not only yourself but the whole group and it's a extra mouth to feed. On the other hand, you can't let the poor kid fight this thing on her own but then again, she's made it this far so she might be useful.

The Del Sol Gang

The Nomads are a feral tribe of Sims that run Del Sol. Made up of four classes: Chiefsblood that rule the tribe with an iron bloody fist, Scavs that provide for the tribe, Enders that act as enforces/soldiers and Worklings. If you cross paths with Nomads, you better run. They'll take everything you have and either make you a workling or end you. The most feared Sims in Del Sol Valley, even worse than the dead.

The Sulani Rescue Team

When R8-GE hit, Tess was just a seaplane pilot flying tourist into Sulani & Ed was slinging drinks at The Sand Bar. Now Ed does supply runs at night with two of the dead to help carry the goodies he finds, he found by feeding them plasma fruit & plasma packs he can stop them from attacking him. Tess flies supplies out to other communities like those in Henford, Chestnut and Bridleton. She also goes on rescue missions with Ed to save Sims trapped by the dead.

The Big Guns

The Oasis Springs base has held up well with such a small force to defend it. They've kept most of the herds out of Oasis and raiders know to keep well away. The time has come to train those left after R8-GE and take back Simnation. Colonel Gregory won't settle for anything but the best of the best as she knows you'll have to go into the deadlands aka Strangerville to save Simkind and that won't be for the weak.

The Ranch

This family lost many friends to the R8-GE virus. They've worked the land on Yellowrock for generations and when Sims found their way to the ranch, the family knew it was time to build a new community on the land they knew so well. Who needs cars when you have horses right? And plenty of crops to feed everyone. Heins finds himself the unlikely mayor of this new little town.

The Manor

When the R8-GE virus hit, Holden didn't wait around to see what happens. He put a fence around his farm, secured his animals and got the manor ready to receive more Sims. He had Dr. Nostrum move in and build a clinic. His farm soon turned into a small town, a safe haven and a place to not just survive but thrive. He hopes to create a future for his little girls even if the world has gone to hell.

The Harbour

When the world was taken over by the R8-GE virus, no one was left to look after the animals. Fisherman Herbert and Vet Frances are working around the clock to save not only pets but their owners. Brindleton has become a safe harbor for all. The docks are busy day and night with Sims arriving, buying food and trading items. Frances finds herself in the role of mayor since the old went ran off into the woods when Sims started to turn. She's turned the vet clinic into a clinic for Sims too, although she doesn't really know how to treat Sims. So say "moo"...oh dear, we mean "aaah".

Your New Best Friend

You go to check on your downstairs neighbour, a army vet that you think might have an idea about how bad this virus could be. Sadly, you find a note asking someone to please take care of Soldier. You can hear movement in the next room but you're pretty sure whatever it is, is no longer your neighbour. You take Soldier, close the door and tape a note to it "Do not enter. Dead inside"

And those are your neighbours

The Columnist

If you’ve ever entertained revenge fantasies about an on-line troll, Ivo van Aart’s THE COLUMNIST (2020, Shudder) is the film for you. Katja Herbers stars as an on-line op-ed writer trying to complete her first novel. She has writer’s block, partly because she’s preoccupied with vicious comments — everything from insults to death threats against her and her daughter to charges of pedophilia — generated by her feminist columns. When she realizes her neighbor has posted some of the most vicious attacks, she pushes him off a roof, and suddenly she can write again. Before long, she’s a serial killer taking out more on-line critics, which makes her creative juices flow. Because the comments and the commenters are relentlessly vile, it’s easy to laugh as she does them in. And Herbers has a deadpan comic style and physical command that turn many of the murders into slapstick delights. Her inchoate movements as she stands over the body of her first victim before deciding to take his middle finger as a souvenir are a hoot. The film goes deeper than that, of course. She skips her daughter’s free speech rally to hunt down the man she thinks is behind the charges of pedophilia. As her daughter reads the speech Herbers wrote about the importance of free expression, Herbers hunts down and kills the man whose free expression is threatening her. And at one point she wonders why people can’t be kind even if they disagree just before plugging someone with whom she had disagreed. The final scene may be too dead on for some — the color scheme is very graphic — but I found it the logical extension of the filmmakers’ satirical take on the dangers of social media and the politics of celebrity. Now, go ahead, attack me, and see how much I’ve learned.

Katja Herbers on working with Ed Harris in Westworld:

But what was very special to me was that he was always 100 percent there for me in between scenes. That’s what I find the most fun about acting, is that you meet another actor in a scene and you really connect—you have a genuine connection in a fictional world that can feel very profound. It’s almost like—maybe it’s also a nice link to Westworld—it can almost feel more real than something in real life. You feel really present with each other. And Ed being the amazing actor that he is, he was always 100 percent present, 100 percent there for me, and as a father, in those scenes, I thought he was extremely loving—although he was a terrible father. As an actor, he was a very good father to have.

I heard about of a new series on CBS - “Evil”. It sound like X-Files but substituting demons for aliens. It stars Mike Colter who was pretty good on Netflix’ “Luke Cage” - so I thought I’d check it out.

I found it also stars Katja Herbers who was The daughter of Ed Harris on “Westworld”.

The first episode was moderately interesting until about 2/3s into the episode when the revealed their ongoing villain - played by Michael Emerson. He came to fame in “Lost” as the villainous Ben Linus. So my interest in “Evil” hit a brick wall. Emerson has a smarmy look and repellent style.

So I guess I won’t be watching any more episode of “Evil”.

"FAI LA BRAVA E COMPORTATI COME FARESTI CON TUO MARITO" .LA STORIA DI RECY TAYLOR, SEQUESTRATA E VIOLENTATA RIPETUTAMENTE DA SETTE UOMINI BIANCHI NEL 1944, CHE OTTENNE GIUSTIZIA SOLO NEL 2011

Non era facile essere una donna nera negli Stati Uniti della prima metà del ’900. Non lo fu, infatti, per Recy Taylor. Era una grande lavoratrice, sin da bambina, quando buttava il sangue nei campidell'Alabama, ad Abbeville. E divenne ancora peggio quando, a 17 anni, perse la madre e si trovò ad accudire sei fratelli minori. Nel 1944 provò in prima persona cosa voleva dire essere una nera giudicata dai bianchi nell'Alabama degli anni '40. Mentre tornava dalla Chiesa in compagnia di un'amica e di suo figlio, un gruppo di sette uomini bianchi armati guidati da un soldato statunitense, Herber Lovett, si avvicinò a Recy. Venne costretta, sotto la minaccia delle armi, a salire in macchina e, poco distante, venne stuprata da sei di loro. Lovett le disse "Fai la brava e comportati come faresti con tuo marito". Non si trattava di un caso isolato. La violenza della maggioranza bianca contro la minoranza nera si manifestava spesso e volentieri con lo stupro verso le donne, in maniera parallela al linciaggio per gli uomini. Recy, però, non era disposta ad accettarlo, come fecero altre donne per paura di ritorsioni.

La sua scomparsa fu denunciata e, grazie alla segnalazione della targa dell'auto, venne fermato Hugo Wilson, proprietario del veicolo ed unico a non aver partecipato allo stupro, che confessò immediatamente i nomi dei colpevoli. Nessuno, tuttavia, si preoccupò di arrestarli ed anzi Wilson venne multato per le sue dichiarazioni 'infamanti'. Al processo, Recy venne difesa da un'attivista per i diritti delle donne afroamericane ancora poco conosciuta: Rosa Parks. Ma purtroppo servì a poco: i sospetti non vennero convocati e Recy non conosceva i loro nomi. Gli unici testimoni erano la sua amica ed il figlio. Risultato: il processo durò 5 minuti. Come se non bastasse, Recy e la sua famiglia furono minacciati mentre la loro casa venne data alle fiamme. Le associazioni per i diritti degli afroamericani riuscirono ad ottenere un secondo processo nel 1945. Risultato: un nuovo nulla di fatto. Con l'aggiunta della solita accusa mossa contro Recy, ovvero che si trattasse, in verità, di una prostituta. Sembrò la fine per il processo. Nessuno avrebbe pagato per lo stupro subito da Recy, che visse nel terrore e sotto la minaccia continua per oltre 20 anni, persino dopo che i responsabili lasciarono l'Alabama. Anche lei si trasferì infine in Florida.

Si arriva quindi al 2011. La pubblicazione di un libro, At the Dark End of the Street, mise in luce la vergogna del caso di Recy Taylor, tanto da portare l'Alabama a scusarsi pubblicamente con la donna per 'aver fallito nel perseguire i colpevoli di tale gesto.

Una scusa sicuramente tardiva per una vergogna giudiziaria senza pari. Recy Taylor ci ha lasciato poche settimane fa, il 28 dicembre del 2017.
