A Bold Twist on History: Why My Lady Jane is a Hidden Gem in the World of Fantasy

My Lady Jane is a defiant breath of fresh air in the world of historical fantasy, embracing its bonkers nature with unapologetic enthusiasm. This series takes the rulebook of realism, tosses it out the window, and instead opts for a wild ride that blends history, fantasy, and romance into one delightful package. The show doesn’t just flirt with the boundaries of reality; it gleefully dances right past them, making a Black man the King of England and introducing shapeshifters as part of the social fabric. This bold move pays off beautifully, inviting viewers to suspend disbelief and simply enjoy the ride.

What sets My Lady Jane apart is not just its entertainment value but its sharp wit. The protagonists are a joy to follow, with Jane and her fellow female characters serving as the true heart of the show. Jane herself is fantastic—her earnestness is both endearing and occasionally irritating, but always compelling. Surrounding her are standout characters like her cunning, sex-positive mother, Lady Frances, and her fiercely independent sister, Lady Margaret, who exudes a strength and determination that would give even Lady Lyanna Mormont a run for her money.

The series doesn’t just rely on its characters to make an impact; it excels in world-building and plot twists, all presented with a satirical sense of humor. The tone is a unique blend of modern feminism and historical toxic masculinity, creating a fresh take on the period drama genre. It’s a show that doesn’t shy away from revising history, much like Dickinson or The Great, and in doing so, it crafts a narrative that feels both contemporary and timeless.

However, the show isn’t without its faults. At times, the blend of genres and tones may feel jarring to some viewers, and not all of the humor lands perfectly. The pacing can also be uneven, with some episodes feeling slightly stretched while others race through pivotal moments. But these are minor quibbles in an otherwise delightful series.

For those who enjoy a mix of romance, action, and wit in their shows, My Lady Jane delivers in spades. The chemistry between Emily Bader and Edward Bluemel is nothing short of magnetic, their love story evolving from enemies to lovers with a perfect balance of spice and sweetness. Their portrayal of Jane and Guildford is so compelling that you can’t help but root for them, even as they navigate the treacherous waters of political intrigue and personal growth.

The show’s historical twists add tension and excitement to the narrative, making it more than just a simple retelling of history. It’s a femme-centric romp that flips the script on traditional damsel-in-distress stories, showing what happens when women take control and defy the patriarchal constraints of their time. My Lady Jane is outrageous, audacious, and delightfully bawdy—a show that isn’t afraid to be dirty and daring.

That said, this show might not be for everyone. Fans of more traditional period dramas or those who prefer their fantasy with a bit more realism may find the show’s irreverence off-putting. But for viewers who appreciate a fresh, bold take on history with a heavy dose of humor, My Lady Jane is a gem.

Although My Lady Jane was one of the best-reviewed new shows this year, it sadly failed to find a broad enough audience. The series received a 91% critical approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, yet it never landed on Nielsen’s Top 10 weekly streaming rankings for originals. Despite the initial online buzz, it didn’t translate into enough viewers, leading to the show’s quiet exit.

In my opinion, insufficient marketing and the overshadowing by other, more heavily promoted series prevented My Lady Jane from reaching the wider audience it deserved, ultimately contributing to its untimely cancellation. It’s a real shame, because this show had all the elements of a hit: humor, heart, and a unique blend of magic. From the clever reimagining of history to the standout performances, My Lady Jane was special in many ways. For those who did find it, My Lady Jane remains a gem—one that will be missed but fondly remembered.

Behold, the king of online cartoons

Ex-Hanna-Barbera whiz Fred Seibert blazing a trail with YouTube network

A couple of times over the years, then-USA Today’s entertainment and tech reporter (and photographer) Jefferson Graham was nice enough to feature me in an article about the cartoons I was producing. First time was in the late 90s with “Oh Yeah! Cartoons,” but in 2015, with streaming video finally reaching the mainstream press (Channel Frederator actually started in 2005) and Graham’s animator son joining our network, he revisited.

Thanks to animator Michael Hilliger, who sent over his copy of the article in 2024.

By Jefferson Graham USA Today July 17, 2015

LOS ANGELES — Fred Seibert wants you to have his card.

And his phone number. He even won't mind if we print his fred@frederator.com e-mail address right here in USA TODAY.

Seibert, 63 is the online toon king, with 400 million views monthly to his Channel Frederator network on YouTube, but he's never sure where his next hit will come from.

So he's always out there looking, at schools, industry gatherings, book signings. You name it.

Next weekend, he'll be at the Vidcon convention near Los Angeles, a gathering of folks who make their living off YouTube, which is where most folks see his online `toons.

"I have no ideas," he says. "But I recognize talent."

That's for sure. Seibert, then president of Hanna-Barbera's cartoon studios in the 1990s, is credited with discovering Seth MacFarlane, the creator of the Family Guy, fresh from college, when he hired him to work on Hanna-Barbera cartoons.

For Seibert's "What a Cartoon!" series for the Cartoon Network, Seibert hit ratings gold, signing up the creators who churned out hits like "The Powerpuff Girls," "Dexter's Laboratory" and "Johnny Bravo." Their series debuted as shorts for first for Seibert's series.

He still serves as executive producer of "The Fairly OddParents," a TV series he began producing in 1998 when it debuted on his "Oh Yeah, Cartoons," series. It's been running ever since on Nickelodeon.

Seibert's biggest audiences, however, have come from online, to the tune of some 1.9 billion views for 'toons like the Bee and PuppyCat and Bravest Warriors.

We had Seibert as a guest on our #TalkingTech podcast in June. At the time, he was averaging 300 million monthly viewers to the Channel Frederator network. Now he's already up to 400 million monthly viewers, and predicts he'll top 700 million by year's end, and 1 billion by 2016.

The reason for the massive growth is that unlike before, when animation was targeted just to young kids, either for Saturday morning TV, and kid-based cartoon TV channels, anyone of all ages can view `toons online.

Seibert's Cartoon Hangover, a Frederator section where he shows the best of his `toons, bills itself as the channel for "cartoons that are too weird, wild, and crazy for television."

“Bee and PuppyCat,” about a young woman with a hybrid dog-cat, is written by Natasha Allegri, a woman in her 20s, about a character in her 20s, and thus, obviously not targeted to the traditional animation crowd.

"No matter what your interest online — whether it be anime, or science fiction or comedy cartoons, there is a place for you," Seibert says. "TV has a tough time supporting the sub-genres. Online is all about sub-genre."

Channel Frederator is what's known as a multi-channel network. Cartoons run on YouTube, but his network promotes them, sells ads and distributes the proceeds to some 2,000 of his video makers.

Through Frederator, the channel makers learn about which color to make their thumbnails to find larger YouTube audiences (he recommends yellow) and which keywords to use in the descriptions ("funny" always works, he says.)

"We give them the tools to grow their performance," he says.

Dominic Panganiban, a 24-year-old animator from Toronto, joined the Frederator network in November, and has seen his subscriber base grow ten times since.

He had been working with Full Screen, another multi-channel network that works with YouTube creators to help them monetize their videos and attract larger audiences.

"Frederator was a better fit, because they cater more towards animation channels," Panganiban says. Because Frederator attracts folks who enjoy cartoons, "I have more potential here."

By being part of the Frederator network, Australian animator Sam Green says he's learned about how to better promote his cartoons, and gotten access to a database of free music and sound effects to use in his cartoons.

He too has seen a spike in traffic.

Being with Seibert "helped me move from my mother's garage to affording my own apartment in the big city," he says.

How did the traffic for both creators go up so dramatically?

Seibert promoted the cartoons to his audience. With 2,000 cartoon makers, that's a lot to choose from. He says he'll plug as many of them as "show an interest" to growing their audience. He looks for people who post new work regularly, stay in touch, and ask "what we can do to help them more."

And despite the massive online audience, Seibert isn't making money yet, and doesn't think he will for another three years. 

"Our cartoons are 3-4 minutes long, and the average American watches 6 hours of TV a day," he says. "We have a long way to go to even that out."

Away

A few days ago we took a flight from LA to Hawaii where we will be spending our holidays. And let me tell you, no one on that 6 hour flight was streaming their show, even though it’s the perfect opportunity to do so and it was the first weekend of its release.

A few thoughts to touch on some asks -

This staggered release is also unusual for Netflix, and likely something their team pushed for. You’re starting to see the drawbacks of it now, along with not having real marketing leading up to it. There is very limited coverage outside of entertainment outlets like People, and the comments are beyond negative, even on the NYT. The few pop culture pieces giving them space the first time around are all silent now. I’m talking the meme accounts and reactions that reflect public interest and commentary -like the Shade Room (esp for the black gossip community on IG). Given how much Tyler Perry features in the latest series it is quite remarkable that they have not commented on the doc AT ALL.

As with the above, emphasizing how jaw droppingly negative the reactions to press are. Not only on IG, but the comment sections of the NYT (which, if you’ve been reading me for a while, I’ve noted have been trending neutral-negative since the Bench.)

Netflix algorithms require a longer discussion. I’d say don’t believe anything you read online about how watching for X minutes is bad for them or that rating them poorly is enough. Their algorithms are a closely guarded secret and subject to change at any time anyway - that’s the point of machine learning. If you want to hit them where it hurts, the sure fire thing to do is to unsubscribe. When they sign big deals like this the goal is user growth - new subscribers, while limiting churn (retention). It’s probably safe to watch it if you’re a long time subscriber who is going to keep it around, but you might play into their annoying bragging about viewership and there’s a small chance they get a bonus off of views if they negotiated something like this. With that in mind, do you think anyone actually signed up for Netflix to watch this thing? Often times you hear people say things like, “crap, I cancelled Netflix but stranger things is back - going to reactivate this month.” My husband for example refused to let me cancel this month bc he wants to see the new Knives Out. This is what they’re looking for. This is what the contracts are dependent on (and not being a pain in the ass.) I’m not sure they’ll get that, given how settled opinions are about them even prior to the show. And not to sound like a bitch, but her sugars who would support the doc seem a bit broke and like they still live at home anyway, whether they’re 13 or 45.

That’s all folks. Happy holidays! 🌴

The Rise Of Casinos: From the Streets of Venice to Online Giants

Casinos are an aspect of human culture by now. They have become a popular form of entertainment for many people, offering a variety of games and experiences. Many lives were made and lost at a casino table. As the industry continues to evolve with advancements in technology and changing consumer preferences, ever-growing in the online world. Nowadays, you can even find a great provider who offers sportsbooks, betting exchanges, and casinos in a single account. But where did it all start?

The History

The precise origin of gambling is unknown, but it has been present in various societies throughout history, including Ancient Mesopotamia, Greece, the Romans, Napoleon’s France, and Elizabethan England. The first known European gambling house was the Ridotto in Venice, established in 1638 by the Great Council of Venice. The establishment was closed in 1774 due to perceived impoverishment.

In American history, early gambling establishments were known as saloons, influenced by major cities like New Orleans, St. Louis, Chicago, and San Francisco. Gambling was outlawed in the early 20th century, but in 1931, Nevada legalized gambling, leading to the establishment of the first legalized casinos. In 1976, New Jersey allowed gambling in Atlantic City, becoming the US’s second-largest gambling city.

The Design

Design is an important part of a casino. It plays a crucial role in creating an atmosphere that is inviting and exciting for guests. A well-designed casino can enhance the overall experience and keep customers coming back for more. But there is a somber side to it as well.

Gambling tendencies are influenced by factors such as sound, odor, and lighting. Anthropologist Natasha Dow Schüll highlights Silicon Gaming’s decision to create slot machines with a universally pleasant tone. While Alan Hirsch, founder of the Smell & Taste Treatment and Research Foundation, discovered a pleasant odor released by Las Vegas slot machines that generated 50% more daily revenue to the casinos, suggesting it acted as something similar to an aphrodisiac, leading to a more aggressive form of gambling.

A History of Crime

Casinos have been linked to organized crime, with early casinos in Las Vegas and Macau dominated by the American Mafia and Triad syndicates. In fact, studies have showed that crime incidence at a local level often doubles or triples within three years of a casino’s opening.

A 2004 US Department of Justice report found that the percentage of problem gamblers among arrested individuals was three to five times higher than in the general population. Economic studies showing a positive relationship between casinos and crime often fail to consider the visiting population, overstating the crime rate. This methodology is used due to the lack of reliable data on tourist count.

The Rise of Online Casinos

The online gambling industry began with the launch of “The Gaming Club” in 1994, powered by Microgaming, and the first online poker room, “Planet Poker,” in 1996. The early years were marked by controversy due to unregulated practices, leading to issues like lack of fair play and money laundering. In the late 1990s, Antigua and Barbuda passed the first online gambling legislation, allowing for casino licensing and paving the way for industry growth.

The industry continued to grow in the early 2000s, with more countries passing legislation to regulate and legalize it. However, the US faced setbacks with the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) in 2006, making it illegal for banks to process transactions for online gambling sites. By the 2010s, the industry had become a multibillion-dollar industry.

Nowadays, online casinos are a staple of every bettors life. The convenience and accessibility of online gambling have made it a popular form of entertainment for people around the world. And if you are looking for a nice new casino option for your portfolio, we recommend checking out Game2Bet. There you will find great online casino options, along with traditional sportsbook offers. So, go ahead and open a Game2bet account, good luck and good betting.

Oshi No Ko Season 1

Genre: Drama, Supernatural, Mystery

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Review:

“Oshi no Ko” is a 2023 anime series directed by Kazuya Ichikawa and produced by MAPPA. It is based on the manga written by Aka Akasaka and Mengo Yokoyari. The anime follows the story of Aqua, a young actor reincarnated as Ai’s son after his death. Aqua discovers that his father is responsible for his and Ai’s demise and plans to locate him and make him pay for what he did to them (Arroyo, 2023).

Regarding media representation, “Oshi no Ko” has been praised for portraying Japan’s entertainment industry. The series provides an inside look into the lives of multiple people in these fields in a sincere and complex manner. From the harsh criticism folks receive online to the potentially deadly situations most celebrities face daily, “Oshi no Ko’s” story bridged the gap between ordinary humans and stars. In short, “Oshi no Ko” is known as a brilliant idol anime with a dark and informative edge.

The series features compelling humour and heartfelt interactions, allowing audiences like me to take in the show’s constructive criticism and plot-heavy moments. Besides its critiques of the entertainment industry, “Oshi no Ko” tackles various themes, from friendship and family to revenge and personal growth. These factors, along with the show’s handling of darker topics like suicide awareness and stalking, helped it feel more intricate than most idol series that air nowadays.

Spoiler alert: If you have yet to view the anime, please navigate away from this post, as the following paragraphs will reveal the relationship dynamics between some characters.

As mentioned, the story has its many highs; it also has its minuscule lows. For instance, some viewers like me may find the romantic angle surrounding Ruby and Aqua’s characters somewhat uncomfortable. I understand that this anime is somewhat of an isekai, which means characters will somehow transported into another world. Still, in this case, the protagonists reincarnated in the same world as Ai's children. Despite both Aqua and Ruby being different people in their past lives, it gives me 'Sweet Home Alabama' vibes when they keep on remembering the promise they made to one another in the past. 

Speaking of their past lives, Aqua was a doctor, an adult aged 24 to 26, while Ruby was his 12-year-old patient. Although I understand the anime has the intention to show a child's innocence and naiveness when Ruby, or should I say, Sarina (Ruby's name in her past life), asked Dr. Gorou (Aqua's name in his past life) to marry her as a motivation to combat her anaplastic astrocytoma, a deadly illness. And guess what? He agrees with the condition that she is fully recovered and turned 16. It gives me a bit of pedophile vibes. 

However, despite the possible incest and grooming controversy arising from this anime, the plot still got me hooked. It made me curious about Aqua and Ruby's reaction when they discover each other's past lives. It also allowed me to keep guessing who would be their biological father, who is also Ai's murderer, and whether Aqua will take his revenge after uncovering the truth. As you can see, there are many unanswered questions, and I am excited to see what Ichikawa will do in "Oshi no Ko" season 2.

Overall, I believe “Oshi no Ko” season 1 is an entertaining anime series offering everyone a new angle of the entertainment industry and reminding them that it is not always as glamorous as it seems on the outside. Whether you’re a fan of drama or psychological thrillers, there’s something in this series for you.

Social Media Marketing

Social media marketing has revolutionized the way businesses connect with their audience, promote their products or services, and build brand recognition. In today's digital age, a strong social media presence is not just an option but a necessity for any successful marketing strategy. Here's a closer look at the key aspects of social media marketing.

Platform Selection: The first step in social media marketing is choosing the right platforms for your business. Not all platforms are created equal, and each has its own unique user base and features. Understanding your target audience and their preferences is crucial in deciding where to establish your presence. Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, and TikTok are just a few examples of popular platforms, each catering to different demographics and interests.

Content Creation: Once you've identified your platforms, it's essential to create engaging and relevant content. Content can take various forms, including text, images, videos, and infographics. The key is to provide value to your audience, whether it's through informative blog posts, visually appealing product images, or entertaining videos.

Consistency: Regular posting and engagement are vital for maintaining a strong social media presence. Consistency in posting helps keep your audience engaged and informed, and it also boosts your visibility on social media algorithms. Tools like content calendars can help you plan and schedule posts ahead of time.

Engagement: Social media is not a one-way street. It's a two-way communication channel that allows you to interact with your audience. Responding to comments, messages, and participating in discussions demonstrates your commitment to customer service and can help build a loyal community around your brand.

Advertising and Promotion: Most social media platforms offer paid advertising options to help businesses reach a broader audience. These can be highly targeted, allowing you to reach specific demographics, interests, and behaviors. Paid promotions can be a cost-effective way to generate leads and conversions.

Analytics and Monitoring: To gauge the effectiveness of your social media marketing efforts, it's essential to track and analyze key performance indicators (KPIs). These can include metrics like engagement rates, follower growth, website traffic, and conversion rates. Social media analytics tools provide valuable insights into what's working and what needs improvement.

Adaptability: The social media landscape is constantly evolving, with new trends, features, and algorithms. Successful social media marketers are adaptable and stay up-to-date with the latest developments. Flexibility in your strategy is crucial for keeping your brand relevant.

Community Building: Building a community around your brand can be a powerful long-term strategy. When you create a loyal following, your customers become advocates for your brand, helping you spread your message and generate trust among potential customers.

In conclusion, social media marketing has become an indispensable tool for businesses to connect with their audience, foster brand loyalty, and drive growth. By selecting the right platforms, creating valuable content, maintaining consistency, engaging with your audience, and staying adaptable, you can leverage the power of social media to achieve your marketing goals and build a successful online presence.

Books Read in 2023: Heartbreak Boys by Simon James Green

Rating: 4/5 ⭐

I never expected at my age to enjoy a YA contemporary romance book, but this was so much fun and I laughed out loud several times.

The premise of the book alone showed me that this had the potential to be the kind of mess I would be into and it was. The story follows two 16 year old boys, Jack and Nate, and the book is told in first person with a dual perspective. Both of them are dumped by their cheating ex-boyfriends at prom, but since Jack’s ex is so popular everyone seems to be on his side. Jack wants to be a social media influencer and he gets angry when his ex, that claimed to not like instagram, creates a joint account with the current boyfriend and wins a lot of support and followers. When Nate’s parents invite him to go on a trip with them, Jack sees an opportunity to compete with his ex by making a joint account with Nate and pretending both of them are having an amazing time. Nate just wants to be left alone to cry but that isn’t written in the stars when his old best friend Jack is around. The scheduled trip on the van is full of terrible sights, but they try to make the best out of it.

This book made it clear to me that I like romance about opposites attract since it’s the 3rd one of that type that I really enjoy. Jack is loud and wants to be popular in spite of being wildly disliked at school. Nate is very introverted and just wants everyone to not notice him. Jack was the first boy to come out as gay at school and he always wears something pride related. Nate decided to come out at prom with a big announcement and instantly regreted it. Their dynamic is great and it was really sweet to see them becoming friends again.

On the trip, Nate’s father is trying to decide what to do with his life now that he is unemployed and Jack meets a popular instagram influencer that he admires and makes him see that maybe he doesn’t want to be popular after all. The book has that kind of morals we all heard before about how fake everything posted online is, but I still appreciated that it was there and that there was character growth.

As usual, this book contains unrealistic moments and some scenes that look to didactic to me, but when I pick up these kind of books I just ask for a laugh and to be entertained so it was pretty successful at that. It wrapped up the conflict with Nate’s parents way too quickly though.

Elliot, Jack’s cousin, was also a fun character with a sunshine kind of personality and I enjoyed the dynamic between the three boys on the trip.

Now, I will just add this scene here to show the ridiculous humour in this book that I am into:

“You know, that’s not completely what Jane said, but reading between the lines...”

“What lines? What’s he done?”

“Taken up the ukulele and joined an LGBT youth group.”

“OK, only one of those things is indicative of him definitely being gay, Mum - he might have gone to the youth group simply to support a friend.”

I am not sure if I will attempt more books by this author because I don’t like school settings anymore, but I might for the silly humour.

Edit: I forgot to mention this book is set in 2020 and yet there is no mention of COVID. I am sure it was written before that and there was no way to predict it, but bad luck with that timing since none of this would be happening in 2020...

The Power of Social Media for Small Businesses: Maximizing Opportunities and Avoiding Common Mistakes

Introduction

In today's digital age, social media has emerged as a game-changer for small businesses. With its massive user base and unparalleled reach, social media platforms offer a unique opportunity for entrepreneurs to connect with their target audience, build brand awareness, and drive business growth. However, to leverage the true potential of social media marketing, small businesses must navigate through potential pitfalls and avoid common mistakes that can hinder their success. In this article, we will explore why social media is perfect for small businesses and discuss essential strategies to make the most out of this dynamic marketing channel, while highlighting common mistakes that should be avoided.

I. The Benefits of Social Media for Small Businesses

Increased Brand Visibility and Exposure: Social media platforms provide small businesses with a cost-effective way to enhance brand visibility and reach a wider audience. By creating compelling content and engaging with users, businesses can increase their online presence and attract potential customers.

Targeted Marketing and Audience Engagement: Social media allows businesses to target specific demographics, interests, and behaviors, enabling them to tailor their marketing efforts for maximum impact. Through active engagement with followers, businesses can foster meaningful relationships, gain valuable insights, and encourage customer loyalty.

Cost-Effective Advertising and Lead Generation: Compared to traditional advertising methods, social media marketing offers affordable options to reach a highly targeted audience. Paid advertising tools and lead generation features enable small businesses to generate quality leads and achieve a better return on investment (ROI).

II. Avoiding Social Media Mistakes

Inconsistent Branding: Maintaining consistent branding across social media channels is crucial for establishing a strong brand identity. Small businesses should ensure that their profile information, visuals, and tone of voice align with their overall brand strategy.

Neglecting Content Planning and Strategy: Posting random content without a well-defined strategy can result in missed opportunities and disengaged followers. It is essential to develop a content plan, including themes, formats, and a posting schedule, to ensure a consistent flow of high-quality content that resonates with the target audience.

Ignoring Analytics and Data Insights: Social media platforms offer valuable analytics tools that provide insights into audience demographics, engagement rates, and content performance. Small businesses should leverage these analytics to refine their strategies, identify top-performing content, and make data-driven decisions.

Overlooking Customer Engagement: Social media is a two-way communication channel, and businesses must actively engage with their audience. Ignoring comments, messages, or customer inquiries can create a negative impression and hinder the development of strong customer relationships.

Spamming and Over-Promotion: Bombarding followers with excessive promotional content can lead to audience fatigue and decreased engagement. It is essential to strike a balance between promotional and non-promotional content, offering value to the audience through informative, entertaining, and engaging posts.

Failing to Adapt to Platform Updates: Social media platforms frequently introduce new features and algorithm updates. Failing to stay informed and adapt to these changes can limit a business's reach and hinder its ability to connect with its target audience effectively.

Conclusion

In conclusion, social media is a powerful tool for small businesses to build their brand, expand their reach, and drive business growth. By implementing a well-planned social media marketing strategy and avoiding common mistakes, small businesses can tap into the enormous potential of these platforms. Remember to prioritize consistent branding, develop a content strategy, leverage analytics for data-driven decisions, actively engage with customers, and stay informed about platform updates. With careful execution, social media can become a catalyst for success, enabling small businesses to thrive in today's competitive landscape.
