Did You Know: Similar to our Earth, Nirn also has two moons?

In 1991 when people in Elkhorn, Wisconsin started seeing a large, wolf-like creature by the side of Bray Road, Linda Godfrey started asking around. She found out multiple witnesses had already reported their encounters to the County Animal Control.

When Godfrey went to talk to the control officer, he pulled out a file labeled 'werewolf'.

I just think about that sometimes.

Amazing! ZeniMax Online Studios have just honored the passionate fanartists they stole designs from without permission by naming characters in the Elder Scrolls universe after them! LadyNerevar, the artist whose design for Queen Alessia was appropriated in the Greymoor DLC, has been immortalized through the character of Indoril Nerevar, Hortator and peacekeeper of the First Council of Morrowind! In a more subtle tribute, the artist whose Sotha Sil design was used for the Crown Store's Mercymother tattoo set relan-daevath's name was altered to create Brelan Neloren, an NPC in the Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind DLC! We tip our hats to ZeniMax for their commitment to making amends, and congratulate these artists for having their names forever etched into the Elder Scrolls!

So I was gonna wait until the video would be released on Youtube, but I think it might be a Nebula exclusive, so y'all will just have to trust me.

There's this Youtuber/Nebula guy named RealLifeLore who does geopolitical analysis stuff. I had already stopped watching a lot of his stuff purely for the petty reason that he often puts emphasis on words and phrases in a weird way, but I had noticed he had done some videos analyzing and summarizing what's been going on in Israel/Gaza/Lebanon/etc. so I started rewatching. And his analysis is actually relatively fair, often stating the claims of both sides and then whether or not those claims hold up. Sometimes this means he'll bring up crank ideas that I feel are implausible from what I know (there's a bit in the video I'm about to talk about where he talks about the Hannibal Directive aka whether or not the IDF intentionally tried to kill hostages being kidnapped so they couldn't be taken hostage, which from what I've heard isn't actually supported by anything but seems to be believed by a lot of people who think Israelis are ontologically evil).

Anyways, he did a video entitled "The October 7th Attacks" which is a comprehensive analysis of, well, the October 7th attacks, which I thought was pretty good (aside from giving the Hannibal Directive credibility). However, it brought to a head an issue that's been boiling up for a while for me, that being that RealLifeLore's pronunciation of Hebrew words is so bad it is legitimately offensive.

"Simchat Torah" as "Sim CHAT Torah" (this one is actually inexcusable, if you've done so much research you should know how Hebrew speakers pronounced a "ch" RealLifeLore)

"Sukkot" as "Su-cot" (ok that one isn't that bad)

"Yom Kippur" as "Yom Ki-purr" (that one also isn't terrible)

"Zikim" as "Zik'em" (oddly enough, I think he pronounced it correctly the first and third times and only did it weird on his second mention)

"Yiftach" as "Yif-tatch"

"Re'im" as "Ray-im"

"Odaya" as "Odie-a"

"Kibbutzim and Moshavim" as "Kibbutzem and Moshavem" (OK I might be overly pedantic here)

"Be'eri" as "Be'rry" (this was a problem of cadence not pronunciation per se)

Anyways, that's from the first 16 minutes, I may do more later

The Tuatha Dé Danann are described as a supernatural race, much like idealized humans, who are immune from ageing and sickness, and who have powers of magic. The powers most often attributed to the Tuath Dé are control over the weather and the elements, and the ability to shapeshift themselves and other things. They are also said to control the fertility of the land; the tale De Gabáil in t-Sída says the first Gaels had to establish friendship with the Tuath Dé before they could raise crops and herds.

Life SMP theorizing is so funny (/pos) to me because like. There’s not really a canon, per se, so what you’re really doing is proposing an addition to the fan-created lore. There’s some running bits and storylines but for the most part the players are just doing some fun goofs n’ gags and sometimes there’s dots to connect. If you wanna make a really complex theory about motives and corruption and such you totally CAN but the only people who’ll ever decide if you’re right or not are other people in the fandom and also Martyn InTheLittleWood

dany shouldn’t be at the club she should be at the barn that she mucks out as a summer job forming an unbreakable psychospiritual bond with the horse that no one before her could ride (he’s misunderstood) and then they go to City and win Big Show together so he doesn’t have to be put down for his behavioral issues and also he finally jumps the water obstacle (reoccurring metaphor for the struggles they’ve gone through as a team) and she makes enough prize money to buy him forever the final shot is of her bareback riding him into the sunset as a pop song about being free from 2010 plays in the background. if you even care.
