Date Me, Bryson Keller by Kevin van Whye | Book Review

Three summers ago I read this wonderful book by @KevinVanWHye and I still remember it. Date Me, Bryson Keller is a great read. #DateMeBrysonKeller #KevinVanWhye #BookReview #MustRead #YoungAdult

Date Me, Bryson Keller by Kevin van Whye published 19 May 2020 Everyone knows about the dare: Each week, Bryson Keller must date someone new–the first person to ask him out on Monday morning. Few think Bryson can do it. He may be the king of Fairvale Academy, but he’s never really dated before. Until a boy asks him out, and everything changes. Kai Sheridan didn’t expect Bryson to say yes.

A Bughead Christmas Carol

by lady_grey_reborn

The Christmas season is upon the Joneses, and Jughead's wife and kids are aglow with Christmas cheer. Jughead, on the other hand, hates Christmas, and would rather crawl into a hole and wait for the whole season to be over. But his family and friends aren't willing to give up on him, and a series of three ghosts visit to make him rethink the error of his ways.

MODERN HISTORY

1ST BLOG _The Irvine Company - James Irvine / RELEVANT FIGURE

The Irvine Company is known for its commitment to water conservation and sustainability in its real estate developments. For more than 150 years, The Irvine Company has sought and implemented innovative ways to conserve and protect Irvine's precious water resources at Irvine Ranch. Today, The Irvine Company is a privately held real estate investment company governed by an independent board of directors. The Irvine Company is recognized for its master planning and environmental stewardship of Irvine Ranch in Orange County, including diversified operations throughout coastal California. As you can understand, the James Irvine Organization had a great relevance in the area of water conservation by creating several dams and reservoirs in the various streams of the Irvine Ranch, because of this generous inversion that had a long with it many benefits for the earth and its environment, we must remember that water is an important resource for the environment, so whatever it has positive repercussions on it will be positive in general.

James Irvine was a pioneer of California agriculture, building his family's Southern California ranch into one of the state's earliest and most productive large-scale agricultural enterprises. During the "Great Drought" of the 1860s, James Irvine and three partners purchased the land that would become the Irvine Ranch. Droughts plagued Southern California and the ranch for the rest of the century. Between 1920 and 1940, the Irvine Company spent millions on water development and conservation. This included drilling hundreds of wells and constructing a series of dams and reservoirs on the ranch's various streams. Later, the Irvine Company began widespread use of water-saving fixtures - such as low-flow showerheads and toilets - in homes, hotels, and office buildings in Irvine and elsewhere on the Irvine Ranch. In the 2000s, the use of reclaimed water throughout Irvine was made even more effective by the company's commitment to state-of-the-art irrigation systems that include "smart" irrigation controllers, drip and low-flow water delivery devices, and satellite-based weather data controls, among other technologies.

IMPORTANT PERSON: James Irvine - Bought the land where the Irvine Ranch is located and where the Irvine Company was founded.

The company was founded by James Irvine (Irvine family) and is currently 100% owned by Donald Bren. Because the company is privately held, its financial information is not available to the public. However, Bren is the richest real estate developer in the United States with a net worth of $15.3 billion as of April 2021. But if we must talk about numbers, I will mention some of the people involved in the company, referred to as the “Executive Group”:

Executive Committee: Charles Fedalen Jr, Frank Abeling, Mare Ley and Jonathan Brinsden.

Real Estate Division Executives: Roger DeWames, Ken Gillet, Todd Keller, Alan Parkin, Roger Ploum, Teresa Prestwood and Tom Sullivan.

Corporate Executives: Gino Bianchini, Rob Elliott, Mark Henigan, Paul Hernandez, Jason Maxwell, Bryan Stevens, Darren Thomas, Kevin Wagner and Abe Wong.

The Irvine Company converted the community's irrigation system to recycled water in March, saving an estimated 7.3 million gallons of potable water annually.

The result of this company's actions was that they helped to start recycling water in a high percentage by including it in their multi-family houses, since they are involved in this area, and the water saving forms they included were like an extra benefit.  The impact it had on the level of public service for what they sold was high because it was more convenient and environmentally friendly for the customer who was thinking of buying the commercial properties offered. Since the impact was great, the water conservation started to bring something serious in between people who actually think of acquiring one of their services the company offers.

The relevance that this company has today is that it is concerned that water is not wasted by unconscious people, although this company cannot simply force these people to conserve water, at least they try to give a message of awareness to these people. Currently, water conservation is almost zero, especially in countries like Chad or Angola, because in these countries there is not enough drinking water for all the people who live there, this is where the great benefit that this company gives to the responsible use of water comes in.

For resuming all this relationship between the Irvine Company and water conservation, it's very smart from their part to start this kind of good things since they not only gained more customers and clients but also get benefits from the environment we live since is like we are starting to solve this big problem we all know about water consumption by starting to conserve it. Although this company is not so well known by the young people of today, there is no doubt that the owner of this idea had a very good purpose in risking his money with something that could help save water and reduce the level of waste of this important resource. Really, this is something that the young people of today should admire.

Riverdale 7x3 - Sex Education (Spoilers)

Well, unlike the last episode, this one was not enjoyable...unless the goal was some sort of meta shit to show how awkward sex is between teenagers by having the episode seem to be written by someone with no basic knowledge of sex.  And honestly?  If I was forced to watch this or they key party episode again, it's key party no question. 

 So everybody's on a sex kick and it's just cringe.  Betty has urges and Kevin doesn't (not towards her).  Clay comes out to Kevin. Veronica is still after Archie.  Julien is still after Veronica (and I have a feeling that his part might have been created because Reggie isn't here.  His lines towards Veronica really sound like Reggie).  Julien convinces Archie to date Cheryl to get him out of the way and because Penelope asked him to (Penelope is starting to realize Cheryl's urges).  Toni is playing the long game when it comes to Cheryl.  Jughead is comic Jughead, who ends up at the party in order to make the system think he's less strange.  Oh, and Archie and Cheryl may have ended up having sex (I question if they really went that far).

But let's talk about a few of the interesting parts.  Ethel says her parents were killed by someone dressed as a milkman; which happens to be similar to a story that was written in the comics that she and Jughead read.  Also, Ethel (who is staying at the Coopers) asks Jughead to break into her home and steal some drawings that she made.  Like the one of a girl that looks like her feeding two bodies that look like her parents into a meat grinder (are we sure she didn't kill them?).  Jughead gets the drawing, but someone sees him and tells Keller.  Keller questions Jughead as he's strange, like Ethel (this is why Jughead ends up at the party).  I am curious about how the comics are going to connect and really hope they focus on this soon.  

There are a couple of things that happen at the party that are interesting.  The first thing happens when they're playing a kissing game.  Jughead has to kiss Betty and it seems to be implied that they don't really know each other well outside of school.  And there's a joke made that "this will go well."  But when they kiss,  there's a music que and Jughead has a visible reaction.  Perhaps this jarred something in the subconscious?

But then a few moments later, when everyone pairs off, Veronica calls Jughead Holden Caulfield; which again he reacts too.  Mostly, he wonders why she called him that but...it is interesting to see the callbacks and the reaction.  Also, this is a good scene between Jughead and Veronica and it's too bad we didn't see more like this throughout the series.

Anyway, at the end of the episode, Ethel and Jughead are called into the principal's office.  Keller is there.  He tells Jughead that he searched Jughead's place and found the drawings.  And that's were the episode ends.I'm hoping next week for more mystery and less teen drama but...oh, look Archie and Cheryl are engaged.  Sigh.

[circlemidnight]

We already knew Riverdale was bad, but 🥲. They couldn't have done anything better for the series finale? You hadn't decided if you were going to watch, and just know that nothing makes sense. More than usual, I mean. It focus too much on Betty (and "Angel Jughead"). There was sort of a time jump to their senior year and, why? Then, there's the Poly Quad. I feel like they wanted to please everybody so they ended up pleasing nobody. Except whoever liked the poly quad, I guess. It might actually be a little funny, with a little distance, and if you aren't that invested in these characters or, you know, any narrative cohesion and coherence 😬. And, like, I actually like that Veronica's future is being a successful movie producer, but it's kind of sad that she and Betty didn't keep in touch, I guess. (And no partner is mentioned for her.) It seems like neither of them kept in touch, actually. Apart from Toni and Cheryl, and Kevin and Clay, of course. And that doesn't seem like the best of timelines, does it? And Fangs died, for some reason. And Frank Andrews and Tom Keller were murdered by Chic, what the fuck? And Pop died, too. And just, why be tragic at all, you know? Was there really any need for realism, whatsoever? But. No. Seriously. It's pathetic that they chose to go with Archie just getting married to a not-previously-seen-or-mentioned character and the rest of them just not getting married at all because they couldn't compromise themselves with any endgame. 🙄 Not that being by yourself is a bad future, but we all know it was like that just because they are cowards. And, truly. If they chose to make Archie "unavailable" by setting him up with a character we don't know, why not do the same for Veronica, Betty, and Jughead? Let them end up with their partners we don't know, too. Just cut out the dialogue between Betty and Jughead about not getting married, and imply they all found partners in the course of their lives. Honestly, there was no reason why not. Why decide to let Veronica, Betty and Jughead end up alone instead?

Ugh. thank you for warning me! I don't think I'm really in the headspace to catch up, and only then I would use it for gifs. Like fair enough B*rchie goes their separate ways after high school, I feel like it makes sense after the affair. Like they probably needed time to grow. I think they could have come back together later in life, maybe as a second marriage. I think it's so contradictory to imply that the core four love each other so much but then they never talk after high school? Also keep in mind that each heaven is personalized as we saw before, so this is just Betty's version of heaven. With ghosts from her past. I think the problem with focusing so hard on her POV is that everyone else just becomes a character supporting her story. We never hear their truth, or their version of events. We don't know if her imaginary Jughead angel is even telling her the truth. We never get to see the private conversations between other characters. And it feels like Veronica's happiness is a total afterthought? It seems cold to only mention her career success. When others got a happy ending with family. We know how much it hurt her to lose her family. There was no reason why jeronica couldn't reconnect and end up together, at the very least they could have just dated in high school and then later in life Veronica marries a movie star and Jughead finds Tabitha in Chicago and settles down. The quad makes no sense because Betty and Archie hurt them? Jughead literally became an addict? these events led up to the demise of the previous timeline. With that knowledge they would never be able to sustain a healthy relationship, and from what I understand of it, it just feels like Betty got to pick and choose who she hooked up with her senior year. I don't really think the personalities of the others align with the idea that they would carry out this scenario willingly. It's always been Betty and Archie's trait to stray. It makes sense they might agree to experiment. But Jughead and Veronica were never presented that way, the complete opposite in fact, to the point where their devotion broke them. Like, I don't know how to eloquently put this into words, but it angers me a lot that Veronica cannot have a love interest for herself. She has to share them with Betty, or else Betty will steal them from her. Every plot she has is upstaged or stolen from her. It's been exhausting to watch. Like, I think Ras thought he was being really clever, but the implication is that Jeronica has to share their new relationship with two people who hurt them so deeply they were both still really damaged by it long into adulthood. It's unfair that they died alone, without family. That they never found a second adult love and clung instead to people who hurt them and then forgot about them even when they got a second chance to make things right. idk, I think we all know what the big problem with the show has always been, but I wasn't expecting it to be so prominent in the ending that we'd miss out on the intimate moments of goodbye for every other character. This season has felt like such a waste, and has been so gratuitously vile in places, that like others have said I feel very disconnected from it. You're right it's cowardly. It's also absurd that they chose to relive high school knowing they were adults. To the point where Betty's one regret in her entire life is not signing her yearbook? It's just this weird implication that we all peak in high school and we'll never be that happy or content or beautiful ever again. High school sucks. We all know this. The showrunner loves to fetishize youth in a way that rings alarm bells. But no one seems ready to talk about that. Anyway I am sorry for ranting back at you anon, feel free to share more of your thoughts!

Hold on I'd actually love to talk about Archie comics and the forces behind Riverdale for a second because they're legitimately fascinating.

So, before we talk about why Riverdale's so bonkers, we gotta talk about Kevin Keller. Archie's cast and those of its spinoffs being thrown into Situations of wildly differing tone and periods is a time-honored classic of the series, but that started to mean more than just "here's a story about the gang finding out what kissing is in prehistoric times" after the successful introduction of Kevin in 2010. For those who may not know, Kevin was the first openly gay character in the Archie comics, and his release was kind of a huge deal - Archie had always been seen as this squeaky-clean symbol of (white) Americana, so something like that happening in the new 10's - to fucking Archie - was legitimately groundbreaking. (He's since been followed up with characters like Toni Topaz and Eliza Han, but Kev was the first.)

Remember, Archie is the kids' comic book in America, for better or worse. Superhero comics can vary wildly in tone and intended audience, but if a parent grabs their kid an Archie comic from the shelf at a grocery store, they basically know what they're getting and don't have to worry about someone's neck getting ripped out on-panel. Getting something like Kevin in the "safest" comic short of Family Circus was kind of a watershed moment.

(As an aside: some have pointed out that Kevin isn't a terribly interesting character, being something of a masc everyman All-American Boy™, but I would argue that that's basically all Archie is, and at a time where all the "gay representation" kids were getting were horrible caricatures of fem men as envisioned by straight people, whitebread masc guy Kevin is kind of exactly what the doctor ordered. I would go so far as to argue that presenting this gay teen as unquestionably part of the gang, slotting into Archie's idealized 50's aesthetics perfectly, was one of the best moves they could have made for the era and surrounding climate. This was a time when "Gay men are just as capable of performing masculinity as straight men" was a legitimately transgressive statement. I'm a Kevin apologist. A Kevin defender.)

So, Kevin's release is huge. He's very popular with kids and adults alike, to the point where his introductory comic and miniseries sell out faster than any other Archie comic in history. He got his own spinoff within two years. People love Kevin.

So what does this have to do with Riverdale, beyond Kevin being a character in it? Well, Kevin Keller proves to the leads behind Archie that modernizing the series has the potential to be very lucrative indeed, and this is where Archie starts to get shockingly experimental. (Relatively speaking, anyway.) The new 10's see the release of Life With Archie: The Married Life, (a dual-timeline soap opera exploration of his married life with either Betty or Veronica) Afterlife with Archie, (a zombie story incited by Sabrina trying to bring Jughead's dog back after he was struck by a car) and of course, the infamous Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. (This one got a Netflix adaptation, but in case you need the cliff's notes, basically it's Sabrina the Teenage Witch only the witches get the power from worshiping Satan.)

These series were also well-received. Enter Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, the guy behind the aforementioned Afterlife with Archie. After the success of the title, he was made Chief Creative Officer, and he's also the showrunner of Riverdale, and here is the reason Riverdale is Like That.

So while Riverdale is undoubtedly an incredibly weird cultural object, I think a lot of people who aren't familiar with the show or franchise get the wrong idea about it. I think the biggest point of confusion among onlookers is "How in on the bit is Riverdale?" and I would respond: extremely. Are you kidding? Why is there even any doubt about this? Sacasa is a gay guy who got cease-and-desisted for writing a play that reimagined Archie as gay in 2003. This dude got promoted specifically for playing with genre and making Archie weird as Hell back when it used to be considered a dull, whitebread relic. You think shit like the "I'm weird. I'm a weirdo." speech and "That means that you haven't known the triumphs and defeats, the epic highs and lows of high school football." happened by accident? You think it just stumbled into doing an entire Hedwig and the Angry Inch episode? Oh, no, my friend. That shit was the result of a demented fag writer doing what demented fag writers do best; produce camp masterpieces. Everything about Riverdale is completely intentional.

Now, is it good? No, of course not. It is, however, great fucking television. I don't really watch the show outside of a few isolated episodes, but I am really glad it exists.

Gritty sci-fi webcomic where partway through the third major arc the protagonists get trapped in some sort of utopian false reality by a mysterious godlike being, except they never escape and the comic just changes genres to quirky coffee-shop slice of life until it's unceremoniously cancelled six years later.

Minnesota Twins-Chicago White Sox Series Preview

4.29.24-Joe Ryan RHP (1-1) 3.45 ERA Vs. Garrett Crochet LHP (1-4) 6.37 ERA

4.30.24-Simeon Woods Richardson RHP (1-0) 2.45 ERA Vs. Mike Soroka RHP (0-3) 6.83 ERA

5.1.24-Bailey Ober RHP (2-1) 4.21 ERA Vs. Chris Flexen RHP (1-3) 5.11 ERA

The Twins At A Glance- The Twins have gotten their season back on track with a seven-game winning streak. They swept the Angels over the weekend and have a rematch with the White Sox in Chicago this week. The offense has gotten hot and is averaging over eight runs per game during the winning streak. They are hitting .348 as a team. Ryan Jeffers is hitting .440 with two homers and five RBI over the past seven games. Eddie Julien has mashed three homers and knocked in seven during that stretch. The team will activated Carlos Correa off the injured list and optioned Austin Martin to St. Paul. Correa didn't want to have a rehab assignment and was working out with the team in Anaheim. Jhoan Duran had a couple of rehab outings and is close to returning to the active roster. I'm guessing Justin Topa needs another relief outing or two before he's back. The pitching staff has a 3.29 ERA during the winning streak. Brock Stewart hasn't allowed a run over 11 1/3 innings.

The White Sox At A Glance- The White Sox snapped out of a seven-game winning streak and swept the Rays this weekend at home. The offense was roaring with twenty-one runs in the three games. Eloy Jimenez went 6-for-13 with a homer and two RBI over the weekend. Gavin Sheets hit 5-for-13 with an RBI against the Rays. The Sox made some moves after being swept by the Twins. They called up Tommy Pham, Rafael Ortega, Brad Keller, and Prelander Berroa. Kevin Pillar, Dominic Fletcher, Jonathan Cannon, and Deivi Garcia were optioned out. Jonathan Leasure has been great out of the bullpen with a 1.59 ERA in 11 1/3 innings. He picked up the save on Sunday afternoon. The Twins will miss Erick Fedde, who gave them problems last week.

What To Watch For- The Twins swept the White Sox in a four-game series last week. The rematch is this week in Chicago. The Twins went (4-3) against the Sox in Chicago last season. Joe Ryan is (2-0) with a 3.68 ERA in four starts against the Sox. Garrett Crochet is (1-2) with a 4.40 ERA in twelve games against the Twins. Simeon Woods Richardson threw five innings and gave up two runs last Thursday against the Sox. Mike Soroka has a 3.75 ERA in two starts versus the Twins. Bailey Ober is (3-1) with a 3.35 ERA in ten starts against the White Sox. Andrew Vaughn has two career homers off Ober. Chris Flexen is (1-2) with a 4.01 ERA in five games against the Twins. Byron Buxton has two homers off Flexen. The Twins will try to keep things rolling against the White Sox, who got hot over the weekend.

A Thomas Keller Restaurant Group exclusive no more. Healdsburg Beer Company releases Belgian Pale to the masses.

Press Release

April 3, 2024, Healdsburg Calif. -- Healdsburg Beer Company (HBC) is proud to announce the release of Belgian Pale, a crisp, medium-bodied ale originally made as a house beer for the world-famous Thomas Keller Restaurant Group, which includes The French Laundry, Per Se, Bouchon, Ad Hoc, something like a million Michelin Stars, and the greatest cookbook series the HBC staff has ever read. 

With the Belgian yeast character of stone fruits and peppercorns, Belgian Pale is crisp and dry with an unmistakable old-world character and a floral aroma. This is a very flavorful but approachable, easy-drinking, and unmistakably Belgian-style ale. 

IBU 28  Grains: 2-Row Barley, Munich, and Wheat malts  Hops: Chinook, Amarillo  Yeast: Proprietary House Belgian Strain 

“We’re thrilled to finally release this to the public,” said HBC Founder Kevin McGee. “Originally created as ‘The White Apron’ to meet the specific needs of a house beer at one of the best restaurant groups in the world, it is an understatement to say that we’re proud of this beer.” 

Balance and drinkability are hallmarks of all HBC beers, which are crafted to be nuanced and compelling yet sessionable. Based in northern California and surrounded by some of the world's finest artisan purveyors and restaurants, the interaction between beer and food is always top of mind at HBC. All HBC beers are purposefully crafted to compliment a broad range of cuisines, but perhaps none so notably or with as much provenance as the Belgian Pale. 

Belgian Pale is now available throughout California and at select retailers across the US. Find it near you at healdsburgbeerco.com/where-to-buy. 

About Healdsburg Beer Company 

Healdsburg Beer Company started in a residential garage at a time when that kind of thing wasn’t happening. Upon learning that the common wisdom in homebrewing circles was that it wasn’t possible to license and bond a super-small scale brewery, founder Kevin McGee took it as something of a dare. Putting his law degree to good use, Kevin legally licensed and bonded his garage as “The Healdsburg Beer Company”, and unknowingly became one of the first of what would later be called “nano-breweries.” In December of 2019, the McGee family purchased Craft Beer legend Anderson Valley Brewing Company (AVBC) with Kevin as President and CEO. Working with the All-Star brewing team at AVBC, the original recipes for Healdsburg Beer
