Earth Station One - 50 Years of Bionics
New Post has been published on https://esonetwork.com/earth-station-one-50-years-of-bionics/
Earth Station One - 50 Years of Bionics
In 1973, Colonel Steve Austin, an astronaut, failed to hold his ship from breaking up and it cost the taxpayers six million dollars to make him better, stronger, and faster. Mike, Mike, Steve Fowler, and the award-winning author Bobby Nash discuss why they have been hooked on Bionics for the last fifty years. All this, along with Angela’s A Geek Girl’s Take and Shout Outs.

So let's talk about Nancys room shall we?
youtube
In this scene in S1E3 Eleven explores the Wheelers house and then walks into Nancys room. So let us look at some of the things we find there and draw some tentative conclusions.
The first thing we see is a poster with what appears to be a big animal printed on it on Nancys door. At first glance it is not entirely clear what it is exactly but looking closer it seems to be a cat. It's rather abstract though. Like it's a not fully formed cat. Just the image of it. Plus they seem to have three colors. Red, orange and white (and possibly black). This makes it likely that this is a female cat. Male calicos do exist but are extremely rare (1 in 3000).
Next we see a small pin board on Nancys desk with with what reads like “Nemo”? Can this be right? Surely it's “Memo” isn't it?
More cat symbolism here. There is porcelain figure of a kitten directly next to the bed.
Plus there are two pillows. A pink one and blue one with the latter being slightly more in the front. This can have several meanings. First it could represent heterosexuality or heteronormativity if we go with traditional gender color coding. A pink one and a blue one belong together in bed. As far as we can tell this seems to be true for Nancy as she seems to be straight. It could also represent her having s*x with Steve. It was the first time for her. I will come back to this later.
Even more kitten symbolism here. This time it's two kittens on the side a of a musical box.
The song that is played is called “Wiegenlied” (“Cradle song”) and is also known as “Guten Abend, gut' Nacht” (“Good evening, good night”) It's very popular song to be used in music boxes.
Listen to it here
Johannes Brahms wrote the composition in 1868 but it is based on a poem first published in 1808 which itself was based on an old german poem from the Middle Ages. Nowadays it is one of the if not the most well known lullabys in Germany. When Brahms wrote the song he dedicated it to his friend Bertha Faber to celebrate the birth of her second son.
However the poem the first verse is based on was originally not meant to be a children's lullaby although that is what it's now known for. It's a general love poem not specifically meant for children. (It only got that association with children songs because of it's title and because it was placed into a collection with other children songs in “Des Knaben Wunderhorn” (“The boy's magical horn”) in 1808)
A quote by Brahms himself supports this as he wrote in a letter to the Fabers.
“Mrs. Bertha will understand that I wrote the song only for her little one; however she will also agree with me that as she sings Hans to sleep, her husband will sing to her, mumbling a love song.”
The first verse reads as follows:
In this case the roses are meant to be a protective cover. The cloves (And I want you to know that the word “Näglein” although in this case meant as cloves also holds kind of a double meaning as Näglein is also a diminutive of the word “Nagel” which translates to “nail”) are meant to be second protective layer as their essential oils are supposed to keep vermin and germs away. The last two lines are also often misunderstood especially by children as they would think that it is god will alone whether they wake up the next morning or not. That's not what it means though as it's supposed to be a more broadly believe that the future is in gods hands.
Later on Brahms also wrote a composition for the second verse which was published in 1849 by Georg Scherer. I don't have much to say about this other than the fact that his verse gives the whole song a much more Christmassy feel to it. The lines are pretty self-explanatory
Sources: German and English Wiki pages
That is the whole pinboard above her desk and there is much to discover. First we get a confirmation that that the “Nemo” we saw in the beginning is indeed “Memo” instead although it still looks like Nemo due to the “e” covering part of the “M”.
Next the pin board is covered with lots of photos and other things but there are also white and pink ribbons. They are placed in such a manner that it almost looks like a grid or possibly bars? Like prison bars? I will also go a step further and assume that the white/pink color combination could represent femininity like I assume the two pillows on her bed could stand for masculinity and femininity (or a man and a woman). However in the way that these ribbons are placed (like bars) it almost makes it look like they are caging something inside. Something that's desperate to come out as I don't think it's a coincidence that the photos which catch your eye the most and which are placed above the white/pink ribbons are the ones in which Nancy's wearing blue. In one of them she even almost looks like a boy.
I also want to give some attention to the photo in to left corner. It's showing us young Barb dressed as a clown and young Nancy dressed like a bunny. There are many characters in the series associated with bunnies. Holly for example, little Janes room in Terrys house has lots of bunny imagery or later on Henry Creel. Jonathan too but for him this is a bad memory as he was forced to kill a rabbit by his father on his 10th birthday. Nancy in this case is not just associated with bunnies. She literally is one although that seems to be a thing from the past. In S4 when her mother shows her Mr. Rabbit one of her old plushies she decides against keeping it as he will be loved more in another home.
Oh and of cause, she does seem to think the blue and yellow should get together. I know what ya'll are thinking but I don't think this is about byler only. More likely is that it is meant in a broader manner such as both ends of the spectrum should come together.
I've already marked this in the picture above but I do find the saying interesting. From what we can see here it reads “You are part of the problem” but that's not what it says in it's entirety. It is really hard to see but I think in it's entirety it reads “If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem” That of cause raises the question, what solution for what problem exactly?
This one is eerie. As my screenshot is not the best please look at this post from bobokhan. What we see here is a cake which reads “Happy birthday Virgina We love you” at least as far as I can tell. This of cause is reminiscent of another person called Virgina who we've only seen much later in the fourth season. If and what these two have in common I do not know.
Tentative Conclusions
It is interesting to see that Nancy seems to surrounded by cat imagery. None of these seem to be a fully grown though, if you don't count the more abstract one which I won't since this is also in instance of a cat that is not a full image of one. What I think this means is that there is a potential there for Nancy to either become one or acquire some cat characteristics. This however has not yet come to pass (from a standpoint of season 1) although it may come to pass later. At this point in time she is a “Nemo” (Nobody.) A bit of a blank slate in this regard.
Furthermore there is the imagery of the blue and pink pillows on the bed as well as the white and pink ribbons on the pin board. I think these images refer mostly to sexuality and gender. Like the pink and white ribbons are reminiscent of (prison) bars trying to hold back a more masculine version or attitude behind them. Although this prison of femininity (white and pink) is not fully capable of holding it back. In regards to the pillows I still think it may depict Nancy being straight but as she is more associated with blue she is the one that blue pillow represents which in turn means she does have more dominant tendencies as the blue pillow is slightly in the front.
Last but not least there is the lullaby in the music box which in reference to Nancy alone does not make a whole lot of sense. This imagery does not reflect her at all. However it is still important as we see El listening to it for bit while seeming to get a bit distressed as if the song were about to trigger a memory but then doesn't. It's almost like it still means something to her which she is not comfortable with.
Interestingly enough at the end of season 4 we see El in the exact colors which are seemingly holding Nancy back here. El's wearing a white shirt with a pink border on the sleeves. Apparently these colors are not a prison to El. Instead she seems to embrace them.

The Musk Files - Down the Rabbit Hole
The latest bad press for Space Karen and his mismanagement of Twitter.
To think Reddit CEO Steve Huffman thinks Musk has done a great job running Twitter with less is shocking.
I’m not sure how anyone labels this guy a genius. He’s a huckster, racist, masochist, and anti-Semite among other things.
If you still believe in him dig deep and ask why you believe that. The answer should scare you or at least make you think about your values as a human being.
Enjoy the links.
Daring Fireball
There are some moments in this video interview that are just cringe-inducing. Even just the awkward pauses. (Faber, to my mind, did a hell of a job — Musk is obviously a very difficult person to interview.) I’m starting to get real Bobby Fischer vibes from Musk — a genius, yes, but descending into conspirational hateful madness. But Fischer became a recluse; Musk is one of the most prominent people in the world.
Vox
In the past five days, Musk has doubled down on a conspiracy theory about the Allen, Texas, shooter; tweeted that billionaire philanthropist George Soros (who has long been the target of antisemitic conspiracy theories online) wants to “erode the very fabric of civilization” and “hates humanity;” and promoted a quickly debunked rumor that falsely claimed Washington Post journalist Taylor Lorenz was related to the founder of the Internet Archive.
The Atlantic
Twitter has long been described, even by its most ardent users, as a hellsite. But under Elon Musk, Twitter has evolved into a platform that is indistinguishable from the wastelands of alternative social-media sites such as Truth Social and Parler. It is now a right-wing social network.
France 24
Researchers have documented an explosion of hate and misinformation on Twitter since the Tesla billionaire took over in October 2022 – and now experts say communicating about climate science on the social network on which many of them rely is getting harder.
Platformer
Their high-profile event on Twitter Spaces, where DeSantis had just announced his run for president, had been plagued by technical glitches. The first audio livestream cut out before DeSantis could get his news out.
Daily Kos
Billionaire conspiracy promoter Elon Musk spent $44 billion on Twitter to implement his special brand of “free speech,” essentially bringing back all the Nazis, conspiracy theorists, and all-around deplorables that were once moderated out of the platform, relegated to darker corners of the internet.
The Daily Beast
Twitter is failing to remove 99 percent of hate speech posted by Twitter Blue users, new research has found, and instead may be boosting paid accounts that spew racism and homophobia.
Ben & Jerry’s
We’ve watched with great concern the developments at Twitter following Elon Musk’s purchase of the social media platform. Hate speech is up dramatically while content moderation has become all but non-existent. In addition to the changes on the platform that have led to an increase in hate speech, Musk himself has doubled down on dangerous anti-democratic lies and white nationalist hate speech. The platform has become a threatening and even dangerous space for people from so many backgrounds, including people who are Black, Brown, trans, gay, women, people with disabilities, Jewish, Muslim and the list goes on. This is unconscionable in addition to being plain bad business.
Erin Reed
As Pride Month began, Elon Musk stated his intention to lobby for the criminalization of gender-affirming healthcare for transgender minors - a move that is unequivocally harmful and contradicts all major medical organizations in the United States and standards of care.
Ars Technica
Twitter’s US advertising revenue plunged 59 percent year-over-year during a recent five-week period, The New York Times reported today. The firm’s US ad “revenue for the five weeks from April 1 to the first week of May was $88 million, down 59 percent from a year earlier, according to an internal presentation obtained by The New York Times.”

Wedding Crashers (2005)
Wedding Crashers shouldn’t work, particularly all these years later when society’s attitudes have changed so much… but it does. This is a problematic film for many reasons but when a comedy makes you laugh hard, all those issues don't seem nearly as important.
John Beckwith (Owen Wilson) and Jeremy Grey (Vince Vaughn) have a hobby: “crashing” wedding parties. Passing themselves off as distant relatives, they go in, make the grandparents laugh, entertain the kids with balloon animals, deliver heartwarming toasts and wind up in bed with a new woman every time. When John falls for Claire (Rachel McAdams), he insists he and his bud accept her father’s invitation to visit for the weekend. Jeremy accepts but this means confronting Claire’s obsessive sister Gloria (Isla Fisher).
Our protagonists are a couple of bros who go to weddings and lie to women to get into their beds but there’s more to them than this shallow exterior. If all John and Jeremy wanted was sex, there would be easier ways to go about it. At their core, these friends love to party and excel at it. Although they are intruders, they make themselves fit in and people are glad to have them on their big day. Clearly, John and Claire have a connection. Too bad she’s already got a boyfriend (Bradley Cooper as Sack). Even if she didn’t, how is he going to get out of all those stories he’s fed her earlier? As for Jeremy, he’s bitten off more than he can chew with Gloria. If you're hung on the idea of them being creeps, consider that this film is all about them getting their comeuppance, growing up and seeing the error of their ways.
Wedding Crashers has all the elements of the R-Rated comedy genre it helped spring back to life. The jerk boyfriend whose relationship with the love interest seems impossible but is necessary for the plot to happen, for example. There’s more to a movie than whether or not it reinvents the wheel. In a comedy, the most important thing is how funny it is, and this film is full of laughs. Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn play off each other so well you swear they’ve been doing it for years. When this adventure begins to drive a wedge between them, you care. Isla Fisher is equally funny, in a no-holds-barred-she’d-be-scary-if-she-weren’t-so-hot kinda way. She and Vaughn have many great moments together, as do Rachel McAdams and Wilson. The chemistry between our romantic leads is there (demented as it may be sometimes), which ensures a coating of sweetness above the many raunchy moments.
That said, several scenes have not aged well. In fact, even the premise hasn't held up. The predatory gay stereotype played by Keir O'Donnell is deeply uncomfortable. At one point, Jeremy is raped by the woman he will eventually fall in love with, which is a pretty big "yikes!". Even with all of the scenes proving John and Jeremy love weddings... you would never see this film made today, for good reason. In a way, the memorable scenes give this great re-watch value or maybe this is the kind of film that's best left in the past.
I admire Wedding Crashers for going all the way with its characters (check out Claire's foul-mouthed grandma, played by Ellen Albertini Dow) and for successfully juggling its different tones. Maybe Wedding Crashers is the kind of movie you secretly like. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. (On DVD, November 26, 2017)

We’re the Millers (2013):
“ A veteran pot dealer creates a fake family as part of his plan to move a huge shipment of weed into the U.S. from Mexico (IMDb Description). “
Here’s a quite funny movie that I saw, the other day. Honestly, I don’t expect much from comedy movies, nowadays, but this one is pretty nice. It follows your typical comedy formula, but I feel like it does it in a creative way...for the most part. It’s a charming movie, overall. The acting is nice, the plot makes no sense and the comedy has some good moments. Overall, a decent comedy movie...but don’t watch it with kids. It has some raunchy jokes (come on, the movie even shows you an infected dick).

- I’m gonna leave. - You can’t go. - Watch me. Watch me take this back down the road. - Look, if you leave, Gloria is gonna freak out and throw a shit fit and it’s gonna go into crisis lockdown mode here at the house. - I don’t give a baker’s fuck. I just had my own sock duct-taped into my mouth last night. - Woa, what? - Yeah, the sock that I wear around all day, playing football in, pouring sweat in was shoved into my mouth, and then was duct tape over it. - Let’s talk about it. I’m a good listener. - I’m not in a place I can discuss what happened. Okay? I felt like Jodie Foster in “The Accused” last night. I’m gonna go home, see Dr. Finkelstein and I’m gonna tell him we got a whole new bag of issues. We can’t forget about Mom for a while.

you whats a good trope i want more of?
cute boy who does the right thing (normally) like saving damsels and making the sacrifice play and all that jazz. he is really just a big sweetie. full of good morals. he’s smart and resourceful and a natural leader. he is gorgeous and well mannered. he can usually win in a fight. he is Very Good at His Job which is something painfully heroic like a soldier or a knight or some shit. basically would totally be the protagonist in literally ANY story but the one they’re in
except their girlfriend is just so goddamn amazing and brings all of this plot with her that they never stood a chance of being the main character
at all
so essentially it’s a character who has all the traits of the classic hero but instead fulfills the literary role of damsel in distress.
they have to be saved. a lot. but they love their heroine gf so it’s cool
#bloody jack novels#wonder woman#james emerson fletcher#steve trevor#i'm sure there's more but i can only think of those two#jaimy fletcher#bloody jack#diana prince#jacky faber#tropes#it is a good trope for whump too btw#which is one of the many reasons i need more#also because the heroine is always amazing when this trope happens#and deserving of a good boy#which he is#i'm obsessed with Jacky and Jaimy right now so#and Diana and Steve are my ultimate otp so#jacky faber x jaimy fletcher#diana prince x steve trevor#steven trevor#diana princess of themyscira
