"You're so quiet today darling, what's on your mind?"

I was busy thinking about the manga/anime male characters whose physical appearance were inspired by real people...

Angus Og, God of Love and Courtesy, Putting a Spell of Summer Calm on the Sea, by John Duncan,  1908.

John Duncan's Angus Og is a delicate beauty, wrapped in a golden ribbon. His skin and hair look soft to the touch; his voice and manner must be equally pleasant. If this was a contemporary painting it would be considered too scandalous today, we modernlings are decidedly more prudish than the Edwardian British intelligencia. There are some clashing view points in this image itself; Edwardian British society considered the body of a young man as asexual; young men could swim nude in public or go skinny dipping in rivers and no one thought anything of it, while women and girls were forbidden to act this way. However the subject is an ancient male god of love, beauty and fertility, the Celtic equivalent of Frej. Frej, much to my disappointment, is regularly depicted as roided and bearded, despite him representing the beauty of Scandinavian men like Bjorn Andresen and Olaf Andersen. Where are the long, white limbs and thick, golden curls of European youths to be found in contemporary media? Gods and symbols of male desire have become too aggressive and harsh for my tastes, if not erased altogether. Frej is just as important a god as Thor and Odin, but he is hardly present in modern adaptations of Germanic Myth. Even his sister, Freja, now, is increasingly absent or treated with contempt.

The crypto industry is no stranger to mystery, intrigue, and explosive revelations. The enigma of Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin, has been a topic of hot debate for years. Recent assertions by John Deaton, a leading crypto attorney, shed light on the infamous narrative surrounding Craig S Wright (CSW) and his claims to be the legendary Satoshi.Deaton’s ObservationsDeaton said that when he first encountered Bitcoin back in 2016, he, like many others, was captivated by the challenge of discovering the real identity of Satoshi Nakamoto. Names like Nick Szabo, Adam Back, David Schwartz, and Jed McCaleb made his list of potential Nakamoto candidates, but CSW’s inclusion intrigued many.While Deaton noted that he hadn’t interacted much with CSW (to the point where CSW even blocked him on social media), he did share some insights into why he felt the computer scientist might have had an early connection to Bitcoin.A video clip where CSW was asked about his initial involvement with Bitcoin stood out. In this clip, with a sly grin, Wright claimed he was on board before Bitcoin had any monetary value.Influencing Minds and Shaping NarrativesThe impact CSW has had on key crypto personalities can’t be understated. CSW’s narrative has sometimes convinced big names like Gavin Andresen, Roger Ver, and Calvin. The magnetism of CSW’s claims seems undeniable.Despite his compelling influence, Deaton held skepticism, particularly about CSW possessing the mythical Satoshi’s keys. He cited CSW’s unpredictable behavior, believing that had he held the keys, he would’ve possibly liquidated the Bitcoins to create turmoil.Calvin Ayre’s Bombshell RevelationsAdding fuel to the fire was a recent post from Christen Ager-Hanssen. It showcased a purported communication between Calvin Ayre and CSW. The content? Claims of threats made by CSW towards Ayre. This revelation certainly adds another layer to the drama surrounding CSW’s claims and his relationship with other crypto players.!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s) if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function()n.callMethod? n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments); if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0'; n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0; t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)(window,document,'script', ' fbq('init', '887971145773722'); fbq('track', 'PageView');

World’s Youngest Billionaires Competing the Bank Balance of the Old

Status, power, money, luxuries and all the other noble achievements are often believed to be the possessions of those who have entered the elderly years of life. However, millennials of the 21st century have started to break the stereotypes and the doors to a billionaire lifestyle. Where the clichés are facing a makeover, it only is the beginning.

"Eis-me Tendo-me despido de todos os meus mantos Tendo-me separado de adivinhos mágicos e deuses Para ficar sozinha ante o silêncio Ante o silêncio e o esplendor da tua face Mas tu és de todos os ausentes o ausente Nem o teu ombro me apoia nem a tua mão me toca O meu coração desce as escadas do tempo [em que não moras E o teu encontro São planícies e planícies de silêncio Escura é a noite Escura e transparente Mas o teu rosto está para além do tempo opaco E eu não habito os jardins do teu silêncio Porque tu és de todos os ausentes o ausente" Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen Imagem: John William Godward
