Jeremy Brett Vs. Jonathan Frid

Propaganda

Jeremy Brett - (The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, The Three Musketeers, BBC Play of the Month) - "Listen, I fell in love with One Man when I was 16 and have never regretted it. Jeremy Brett is Everything. Handsome, charming, sweet, amazing voice, delightfully eccentric. Shakespearean actor best known for playing Sherlock Holmes in the 80s, he is widely considered the definitive Holmes and for good reason. Bisexual and bipolar, devoted husband, he was known to serenade friends at restraunts and hold scavenger hunts in his home, where he hid the plunger in a chandelier. Often pigeonholed into period pieces, he owned them. He was a pretty young man who became not just handsome but arresting. He was one of those people who walked into a room and instantly commanded attention, and I for one have never regretted giving him my attention." Full text propaganda included below the cut

Jonathan Frid - (Dark Shadows) - the man who brought the first sympathetic vampire in pop culture to life! he was so hot that they sent him on a ten-city tour. he was so hot that teen magazines auctioned off dates with him. he was so hot that allegedly women would mail him love letters and/or nude pictures of themselves! he gave what should have been a quickly-killed-off soap opera villain/dracula knockoff a sense of gravitas, intrigue, and humanity that ultimately made him the star of the show. watching him act is always a treat. I've also met several people who knew him, and overall he just seems like a great guy. there's a documentary about him free on tubi, i recommend checking it out! (fun fact, he was also gay. who on tumblr doesn't love gay vampires).

Jeremy Brett:

“The superbly handsome Jeremy Brett, the regularity of his features made dramatic by a broken nose, the mellifluousness of his voice made arresting by a slight vocal impediment, presented a ravaged and romantic Holmes, a man who had suffered deeply and whose recourse to the syringe was the compulsion of a self-destroying temperament. His relationship with Edward Hardwicke’s transparently decent Watson was that of a drowning man clinging to a raft. The authenticity of the performance was unmistakable.” — “The man who created a monster; Conan Doyle hated the fame of his suave hero, but he couldn’t kill him”, Simon Callow, The Times, 18 December 2009.

Listen, I fell in love with One Man when I was 16 and have never regretted it. Jeremy Brett is Everything. Handsome, charming, sweet, amazing voice, delightfully eccentric. Shakespearean actor best known for playing Sherlock Holmes in the 80s, he is widely considered the definitive Holmes and for good reason. Bisexual and bipolar, devoted husband, he was known to serenade friends at restraunts and hold scavenger hunts in his home, where he hid the plunger in a chandelier. He also practiced archery in the middle of London. He could sing, he acted alongside Audrey Hepburn twice. He wanted to be a jockey when he was young but then grew a foot too tall. He had rheumatic fever as a child and was told he would never climb stairs. Dear Reader, he jumped over couches on film. In War and Peace he is very clearly the only actor riding a real horse, and is one of few actors who played both Sherlock Holmes and Watson. Often pigeonholed into period pieces, he owned them. He was a pretty young man who became not just handsome but arresting. He was one of those people who walked into a room and instantly commanded attention, and I for one have never regretted giving him my attention.

『 ZAZEN BOYS 雜談——洪申豪x唐世杰 』

橫跨二十年的回憶特別企劃——邀請到透明雜誌兩位成員，曾在日本與向井秀德共演的洪申豪、多次舉辦 Zazen Boys 來台演出的長腦筋唱片唐世杰，互相聊聊各自對 Zazen Boys 、向井秀德的印象與回憶。

﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍

1.兩位一開始是怎麼接觸到Zazen Boys音樂的呢？

洪：我記得很清楚好像是第一次去日本的時候，可能是2004年，就在日本的唱片行看到Zazen Boys第一張同名專輯《ZAZEN BOYS》上架，白底黑字、小畫家噴霧筆刷的那張。日本的唱片行有寫好多字卡，記得當時寫著「來自九州的刺客」類似這種文字介紹，也有提到Number Girl。我當下沒有買，因為那時候日幣還很貴，我也沒那麼多錢，現在買得起了。 當下就記��這個名字，回來我記得就直接在Soulseek上抓，很震撼，因為聽Number Girl那時最後一張，就很明顯的感覺到向井想要搞點不一樣的，歌的結構跟前幾張那種單純直線都不太一樣，第一首《Fender Telecaster》，超帥，這大概是2000年初的時候。

唐：應該差不多也是這個時期，但我第一個深刻的印象應該是看到《CRAZY DAYS CRAZY FEELING》的 MV，YouTube還沒有那麼方便的時候，那時候幾乎都用Soulseek抓專輯和MV。

洪：我們在Studio Ａ上班是200幾？（註：解答請見 ME VS MUKAI VS ZAZEN 第一章）

唐：Studio Ａ那時候可能已經發兩三張了。

洪：他們那個發行速度很快，幾乎一年一張。

唐：那時候已有YouTube。

洪：有，YouTube也有Facebook。

唐：當時那個時期，你要找這些音樂還不太可能在YouTube看到，所以就要自己找，尤其以前很多的影像主要都是製作給電視節目，需要有心人把節目錄下來再轉到電腦才有機會看得到。現在這些內容在YouTube都很好找了。以前為了要找這些內容都只能用抓的。 一開始的印象就是聽了《CRAZY DAYS CRAZY FEELING》才回去聽更多作品，之前雖然也聽過Number Girl，但是接觸到Zazen已經是發了第二張的時候，我記得應該是這樣。那時候對他們很著迷，聲音和內容很有趣，小鼓壓一個超破、貝斯顆粒很大，riff很有存在感，超緊，感覺有點理解後期Number Girl的內容，就是下一個階段的向井的感覺。

空：近幾年他們作品都有陸續上網路串流了，有些Live版本的《透明少女》在一場演出內唱了三次？

洪：這很帥，他們故意的，這是他的任性，我就喜歡他這一點。這就是向井世界，哈哈哈。TAKE THIS！還有同一個Set唱兩次，因為太短了。 

唐：我們是從頭唱？有倒過來嗎？

洪：沒那麼帥，是從頭唱，是そのまま從頭再唱一次（笑）。 

2.記得2014年洪申豪有和向井秀德在日本一起演出過，你還記得當時的心情嗎？

洪：他很自由，也不管你歌詞記不記得，和弦熟不熟，就突然問你要不要。他突然問，突然出招，你就是接招，但我覺得那個感覺都很輕鬆，我也無法完全把歌詞記得，但他也不在意。然後唱完就是喝酒，他是真的一直以來都是這個感覺的人。

3.你們各自對向井秀德的個人印象是怎樣子呢？

唐：很獨特，感覺一直是個人意識很鮮明的人，從Number Girl到Zazen都一樣，你看不出什麼生澀的階段，無論是作品或者表演上都很老練，一直到現在還是維持著這個狀態。甚至互動相處上也是如此，很特別的人。

洪：所以我覺得這就是他的替身能力，向井世界就是那個領域範圍。

唐：前年那次台北演出結束後送機，我們聊到了一些彼此喜歡的東西，我記得他聊到自己很喜歡馬丁史柯西斯早期的King of Comedy、松本清張、還有一些早期日本的搞笑藝人什麼的，算是我們第一次聊到比較再更之前的成長啟蒙，這次我對他的印象就更深刻。在這之前，你對一個創作者的想像多半建立從他的作品、歌詞、音樂風格等等，無論如何都已經是他轉化成自己作品的結晶，再怎麼熟悉一位創作者都很難理出更深的脈絡，而為什麼讓他作出這些聲音，或為什麼表演中要抽一排煙，作出舉起手槍的手勢什麼的，我覺得都是他整個藝術形式的一環，向井會時不時把這些脈絡偷渡在裡頭。那次聊天之後又得到更多的喔～原來啊～怪不得的感覺。

洪：從他青少年的時候啟蒙他的。

唐：然後我現在看待他的表演形式，會覺得他越來越沒有包袱的感覺，越來越自然，好像很嚴肅又好像不太正經，可以有這種平衡我覺得蠻棒的。

4.向井秀德世界中的《我們的靈魂樂》？

唐：他之前寫《我們的靈魂樂》的側標時，也是很有他的風格。唱片公司邀請他寫我們的側標，好像二話不說就答應了。他寫來到台北的時候，他在街上遇到人就問說「Are You Touming Magazine？」就這樣，他沒有要評論你的音樂，也沒有什麼廢話，這就是他會說的話，超好笑。

洪：這件事最棒的就是，有一家唱片公司那時要重發Superchunk的《Foolish》還有《Indoor Living》，我記得好像是戴子找了透明雜誌寫推薦，但是我們推給好友羅宜凡寫，我記得好像是這樣，超亂來。羅宜凡的寫評論就是，因為他在東岸住過一陣子，他說他去Chapel Hill的時候，在街上遇到人，他就會問說「Are You Superchunk？」。 (註：羅宜凡就是精裝少年壞報的主編。) 過了沒多久我們去日本，又碰到向井的時候，我們就跟向井講，然後他回應「誒～這可這不太好。」哈哈哈超好笑。

唐：就是這個笑話的脈絡。

洪：超inside joke但超好笑。

空：看到側標的人一定在想說莫名其妙（笑）。

洪：對欸，如果有人同時有那兩張專輯的側標，超好笑，而且這個笑話超棒。

5.當初是什麼契機，長腦筋唱片去邀請到Zazen Boys的呢？當時情況大概是如何呢？

唐：他們幾年前來過台灣參加一個音樂祭叫《音樂航空站》，那時候一位朋友當他們的隨行翻譯，他應該是知道剛好我們這一群人有在愛，就讓我們和他們打招呼，才有後來這些演出的後續。但我有一點不確定我們是不是之前就有碰過面還是什麼？

洪：已經認識了。

唐：那可能就是先前有一次是我們一群人飛去日本大阪。看銀杏BOYZ和Zazen Boys一場共演，大概一千多人的場地，當時我們都很喜歡就飛去看了。

洪：那時候銀杏BOYZ還沒來台灣？

唐：來了，就是那一年的野台開唱還是隔一年，就看到他們合演的消息，當時銀杏他們來台灣有見到面，經紀人就說你們要來跟我說，我們一群大概七八個朋友就飛過去看。那次就是第一次看Zazen Boys，他們開場，銀杏BOYZ壓軸，超級好看。

洪：最後還一起合唱，超好看。這個不是第一次共演，那時候他們好像已經有辦過幾次共演。

唐：那次演出結束應該就是第一次正式見到面，後來吃飯後還去一個BAR聊到天亮。

洪：那個晚上CASIO MAN也在，我記得跟他聊很久，覺得那一次去就算是真的有認識到。

《君と僕のMATSURI SESSION》 2007

《音樂航空站》2009

6.之前幾次長腦筋唱片舉辦Zazen Boys演出時，有發生哪些特別的事情嗎？

唐：他喝開了會很有趣。我記得他第一次來只想吃牛肉麵，後來幾次來我就只給他幾間店名，他都會一個人去。

空：就是自己行動那種。

唐：對，上一次來他還從飯店走到旁邊的師大育成中心前面彈吉他唱歌。

7.那2014年師大公園那次突襲演出也是這樣決定的嗎？

唐：突然在師大公園演出那次是第二次來台灣演《世界》的隔天，他們預計是傍晚左右的飛機回國，在此之前沒有別的計畫，有機會的話想路上唱唱歌，但不確定台灣可不可以這麼做，怕有法律問題。我有印象好像之前有在網路上看到他在下北澤車站附近唱歌的影片，他就問說台灣可以這樣做嗎？我們就想說不如那就師大公園，當晚就在網路上發個消息說他們明天會在，然後人就來了。 

《世界》2014

8.你們看過的Zazen Boys的演出哪一場最印象深刻呢？

洪：我印象最深刻就是前面說的Zazen Boys跟銀杏BOYZ共演的那一場。

唐：真的，超深刻。

洪：真的是好看欸，對我來講那整個人體驗都是太奇幻到不行。跟朋友一群這樣坐飛機去看演出，演出之後還去跟他們一起吃飯去喝酒，還真是超爽的，爽歪。那時他們就是兩個最大的BOY團，銀杏BOYZ、Zazen Boys，銀杏BOYZ那時應該是當時日本受歡迎的樂團之一，傳奇的演出，很屌。

I dont even know what asterix (sp?) is but since you seem cool I stay followed ♡

(confess something you've thought about me on anon!)

Asterix or The Adventures of Asterix (French: Astérix or Astérix le Gaulois [asteʁiks lə ɡolwa], "Asterix the Gaul") is a bande dessinée comic book series about a village of indomitable Gaulish warriors who adventure around the world and fight the Roman Republic, with the aid of a magic potion, during the era of Julius Caesar, in an ahistorical telling of the time after the Gallic Wars. The series first appeared in the Franco-Belgian comic magazine Pilote on 29 October 1959. It was written by René Goscinny and illustrated by Albert Uderzo until Goscinny's death in 1977. Uderzo then took over the writing until 2009, when he sold the rights to publishing company Hachette; he died in 2020. In 2013, a new team consisting of Jean-Yves Ferri (script) and Didier Conrad (artwork) took over. As of 2021, 39 volumes have been released, with the most recent released in October 2021.

Description[edit]

Some of the many characters in Asterix. In the front row are the regular characters, with Asterix himself in the centre.

Asterix comics usually start with the following introduction:

The year is 50 BC. Gaul is entirely occupied by the Romans. Well, not entirely... One small village of indomitable Gauls still holds out against the invaders. And life is not easy for the Roman legionaries who garrison the fortified camps of Totorum, Aquarium, Laudanum and Compendium...[1][2]

The series follows the adventures of a village of Gauls as they resist Roman occupation in 50 BC. They do so using a magic potion, brewed by their druid Getafix (Panoramix in the French version), which temporarily gives the recipient superhuman strength. The protagonists, the title character Asterix and his friend Obelix, have various adventures. The "-ix" ending of both names (as well as all the other pseudo-Gaulish "-ix" names in the series) alludes to the "-rix" suffix (meaning "king", like "-rex" in Latin) present in the names of many real Gaulish chieftains such as Vercingetorix, Orgetorix, and Dumnorix.

In some of the stories, they travel to foreign countries, while other tales are set in and around their village. For much of the history of the series (volumes 4 through 29), settings in Gaul and abroad alternated, with even-numbered volumes set abroad and odd-numbered volumes set in Gaul, mostly in the village.

The Asterix series is one of the most popular Franco-Belgian comics in the world, with the series being translated into 111 languages and dialects as of 2009.[3]

The success of the series has led to the adaptation of its books into 15 films: ten animated, and five live action (two of which, Asterix & Obelix: Mission Cleopatra and Asterix and Obelix vs. Caesar, were major box office successes in France). There have also been a number of games based on the characters, and a theme park near Paris, Parc Astérix. The very first French satellite, Astérix, launched in 1965, was named after the character, whose name is close to Greek ἀστήρ and Latin astrum, meaning a "star". As of 20 April 2022, 385 million copies of Asterix books had been sold worldwide and translated in 111 languages making it the world's most widely translated comic book series,[4] with co-creators René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo being France's best-selling authors abroad.[5][6]

In April 2022, Albert and René’s general director Céleste Surugue hosted a 45-minute talk titled "The Next Incarnation of a Heritage Franchise: Asterix" and spoke about the success of the Asterix franchise of which he noted "The idea was to find a subject with a strong connection with French culture and while looking at the country's history, they ended up choosing its first defeat, namely the Gaul's Roman colonisation". He also went on to say how since 1989, Parc Asterix attracts an average of 2.3 million visitors per year. Other notable mentions were how the franchise includes 10 animated movies, which recorded over 53 million viewers worldwide. The inception of Studios Idefix in 1974 and the opening of Studio 58 in 2016 were among the necessary steps to make Asterix a "100% Gaulish production," considered the best solution to keep the creative process under control from start to finish and to employ French manpower. He also noted how a new album is now published every two years, with print figures of 5 million and an estimate readership of 20 million.[7]

History[edit]

Évariste Vital Luminais' (1821–1896) paintings of Goths had been rather popular in France and are a possible model for the Asterix series.[8]

Prior to creating the Asterix series, Goscinny and Uderzo had had success with their series Oumpah-pah, which was published in Tintin magazine.[9] Astérix was originally serialised in Pilote magazine, debuting in the first issue on 29 October 1959.[10] In 1961 the first book was put together, titled Asterix the Gaul. From then on, books were released generally on a yearly basis. Their success was exponential; the first book sold 6,000 copies in its year of publication; a year later, the second sold 20,000. In 1963, the third sold 40,000; the fourth, released in 1964, sold 150,000. A year later, the fifth sold 300,000; 1966's Asterix and the Big Fight sold 400,000 upon initial publication. The ninth Asterix volume, when first released in 1967, sold 1.2 million copies in two days.

Uderzo's first preliminary sketches portrayed Asterix as a huge and strong traditional Gaulish warrior. But Goscinny had a different picture in his mind, visualizing Asterix as a shrewd, compact warrior who would possess intelligence and wit more than raw strength. However, Uderzo felt that the downsized hero needed a strong but dim companion, to which Goscinny agreed. Hence, Obelix was born.[11] Despite the growing popularity of Asterix with the readers, the financial backing for the publication Pilote ceased. Pilote was taken over by Georges Dargaud.[11]

When Goscinny died in 1977, Uderzo continued the series by popular demand of the readers, who implored him to continue. He continued to issue new volumes of the series, but on a less frequent basis. Many critics and fans of the series prefer the earlier collaborations with Goscinny.[12] Uderzo created his own publishing company, Éditions Albert René, which published every album drawn and written by Uderzo alone since then.[11] However, Dargaud, the initial publisher of the series, kept the publishing rights on the 24 first albums made by both Uderzo and Goscinny. In 1990, the Uderzo and Goscinny families decided to sue Dargaud to take over the rights. In 1998, after a long trial, Dargaud lost the rights to publish and sell the albums. Uderzo decided to sell these rights to Hachette instead of Albert-René, but the publishing rights on new albums were still owned by Albert Uderzo (40%), Sylvie Uderzo (20%) and Anne Goscinny (40%).[citation needed]

In December 2008, Uderzo sold his stake to Hachette, which took over the company.[13] In a letter published in the French newspaper Le Monde in 2009, Uderzo's daughter, Sylvie, attacked her father's decision to sell the family publishing firm and the rights to produce new Astérix adventures after his death. She said:

However, René Goscinny's daughter, Anne, also gave her agreement to the continuation of the series and sold her rights at the same time. She is reported to have said that "Asterix has already had two lives: one during my father's lifetime and one after it. Why not a third?".[16] A few months later, Uderzo appointed three illustrators, who had been his assistants for many years, to continue the series.[12] In 2011, Uderzo announced that a new Asterix album was due out in 2013, with Jean-Yves Ferri writing the story and Frédéric Mébarki drawing it.[17] A year later, in 2012, the publisher Albert-René announced that Frédéric Mébarki had withdrawn from drawing the new album, due to the pressure he felt in following in the steps of Uderzo. Comic artist Didier Conrad was officially announced to take over drawing duties from Mébarki, with the due date of the new album in 2013 unchanged.[18][19]

In January 2015, after the murders of seven cartoonists at the satirical Paris weekly Charlie Hebdo, Astérix creator Albert Uderzo came out of retirement to draw two Astérix pictures honouring the memories of the victims.[20]

Bibliographic Data:

Walter Dean Myers. 2009. LOOKING LIKE ME. Ill. by Chrostopher Myers. Carolrhoda Books. ISBN 978-1606840016.

Plot Summary:

In this splashy, rhythmic celebration of the wonders of life, Walter Dean Myer's hypnotic text combines with his son's fresh photo-collage illustrations to create a new picture book about self-esteem and growing up with an urban beat.

Critical Analysis: 

Looking Like Me  follows Jeremy, the main character, as he works to figure out who he really is. As he greets different people in his life, each of them gives him insight into who he is to them. A son, brother, friend, writer, the main character journeys through all the roles he plays in other’s lives and finally realizes that he is a lot of things by saying “It is kind of amazing all the people I am.” The story shows all the various and positive roles that young black men have in families, education, and society as a whole.

This book is short, but there are many references to African American culture to be found. Although it is not shown much about Jeremy and his life (no nods to his socioeconomic class, evil vs. good, or even where he lives), the book does a good job of representing African American children as the positive influences they are. 

The book reads like a rap song: “I looked in the mirror / And what did I see? / A real handsome dude looking just like me. / He put out his fist. / I gave it a bam! / He said, ‘Jeremy!’ I said, ‘That’s who I am.'” This is a nod to the importance that rap and hip-hop have on African American culture. When read aloud, it evokes a rhythm and has a catchy rhyme scheme. 

Additionally, the young character is greeted by many members of his community and feels waves of love and acceptance, helping the reader understand the impact that positive relationships and role models can have on children, especially young black ones. African American children have historically been portrayed as fighting through adversity and other struggles, but this book celebrates the joy and importance of being black. 

Christopher Myers’ illustrations provide readers with beautiful, vibrant illustrations that showcase the multitude of roles that Jeremy plays in his life. Myers uses collage-style cutouts for the background, and in the foreground are solid cut-outs filled with symbols that represent the specific role Jeremy plays being highlighted on that page.

Looking Like Me by Walter Dean Myers is a short, but important, book that encourages readers to find out all the things they really are. Not only that, it shows a young black character in a positive light, which is so important for today’s youth.

Review Excerpt(s):

"The rhyme and repetition flow naturally, capturing the rhythms of everyday conversation and the hip-hop beats many children hear daily....This book is an excellent introduction to verse, for it vividly demonstrates how poetry is a vital part of daily life." ―starred, School Library Journal

"This very contemporary work is encouraging, energetic, and inspired." ―starred, Booklist

"This vibrant synthesis of poetry and pictures is a natural for classrooms and family sharing." ―starred, Kirkus Reviews

"[E]ven the more curmudgeonly among us might appreciate the message when it's dressed up as fine as it is in this picture book by Myers pére et fils." ―The Horn Book Magazine

Amber Heard vs Johnny Depp and The power dynamic part 1

Amber Heard and Johnny Depp's relationship is filled with abuse, heartbreak, forgiveness but most importantly it was a power dynamic that should've been looked into during the VA trial. While anyone can be a victim, it's worth noting that the most important into looking at abusive relationships is where does the victim and abuser stand in power dynamic. Not matter what age or gender but rather the status they are shown. When Amber Heard and Johnny Dep met. It was the year 2009 and they met on set for a movie called The Rum Diary which amber was going to starred in. Johnny Depp was also starring in the movie, but he was also the producer. When they met Amber was only 22 while Johnny was 46. I remember back in tik tok, a girl name Sophia posted a video where she had a 15 year old amber and 38 year old Johnny Depp. She used the audio, "pedo-pedo-pedohillia".

The reason why I bring this up was the amount of hate Sophia and people really believe that she didn't know what she was saying and how amber and Johnny had never met during the age. What Sophia was showing the big age gap between the couple and why it's so important. So when they do meet for the first time, Johnny Depp was closed to his 50s while Amber heard was nowhere near her 30s. There was also workplace harassment going on set of Rum Diary.

Amber's testified that Johnny Depp actually kissed her and even confirmed that he even used tongue and he even kind of picked up the back of robe and said Yum. Johnny Depp was still in a long term relationship with Vanessa Paradis and had 2 kids with her.

The part where it says that he gifted her a vintage bicycle. She probably saw and wanted one so he probably gifted it in the act of kindness. But I can't help but feel like it was to infantlise her as a child and reminding where she stands. Johnny Depp kissing her without properly warning her and him doing things that she appeared of not consented to. It shows how Depp isn't different to the likes of Harvey Weinstein. Where both men decide to abuse their power by targeting new actresses. While Amber may have been the first to use the term 'abuse' to describe her relationship with Johnny Depp. She isn't the only ex to speak out about his controlling and jealousy behaviour. Ellen Barkin was another person to say that Johnny Depp was abusive and saying him throwing a wine bottle towards her as an example. Meanwhile his other exes while have opened about their relationship who he was like never said abuse.

This could be why Johnny Depp had more power dynamic out of all the women he dated, while yes Ellen Barkin was older than him. His status is shown that he had the power over her. He was a famous a list actor and she an actress in her own right. She and amber don't have connections to powerful and that includes paying off gossip websites. Johnny Depp's late bodyguard Jerry Judge tried to paid off a gossip website about the injured finger incident because his team may thought the people were gonna find out why. Another example is that after him and Vanessa broke up. The gossip magazine known as US Weekly. Published their break up and basically tear down Vanessa as it's her fault which could be a reason why Vanessa never went into fall detail on what her relationship with Johnny was.

The person who also published the article was also good friends with Johnny Depp. Which shows how Johnny and his team have been paying gossip website to trash their exes in order to keep them silent. It's work for the most part. So when you look in the relationship itself, it doesn't make sense on how amber could get away with the things that he accused her of doing. From her supposed open affair with Elon Musk to her violence towards him. The people that she was always around was his bodyguards whom are not only on his payroll but also lied and protect him by not intervening when Amber is being abused and using DARVO against her.

Big Picture Science Podcast: Making Hard Science "Easy"

Podcasting has hundreds of thousands of podcasts, but, even with that large number, it still has weaknesses in certain genres, including minority, LGBTQ+, and women's issues.

However, podcasting is strong in science. Science Vs, Taboo Science, Unexplainable, and numerous other excellent science podcasts.

There's one especially successful science podcast that has more than 578 episodes under its production belt.

That's Big Picture Science. It's a terrific podcast that exposes junk science, highlights new scientific discoveries, and finds the science in everyday life.

Case in point: The May 6, 2024, episode titled, "Nuts & Bolts." Here's the episode show notes: "How frequently do you think about fasteners like screws and bolts? Probably not very often. But some of them a storied history, dating back to Egypt in the 3rd century BC. They aren’t just ancient history. They help hold up our bridges and homes today. Join us as we dissect a handful of engineering inventions that keep our world spinning and intact."

With guests Roma Agrawal, a structural engineer and author of "Nuts and Bolts: Seven Small Inventions That Changed the World (in a Big Way)," and Ron Gordon - watchmaker, New York City, the show made these inconsequential fasteners, well, fascinating.

Big Picture Science is produced at the SETI Institute’s radio studio in Mountain View, California. The program began with the title Are We Alone? In 2002 as a commercially-supported call-in show distributed to a handful of stations on Radio America by Bill Oxley and Seth Shostak, who actually broadcast from their respective living rooms in San Diego and Mountain View.

In 2004, Molly Bentley joined AWA as an editor and executive producer. At that time, support from the NASA Astrobiology Institute allowed us to build our own radio studio and move away from single-interview call-ins to a thematic multi-interview-produced show.

After a short stint on the Discovery Channel’s outlet on Sirius Satellite Radio, SETI began distributing Are We Alone? On the Public Radio Satellite System (PRSS) and the Public Radio Exchange (PRX). The name of the program was changed from Are We Alone? to Big Picture Science in July 2011.

Big Picture Science is supported in part by Sami David, Rena Shulsky David, the William K. Bowes, Jr. Foundation, and the NASA Astrobiology Institute. Skeptic Check is presented thanks to a donation from the Trimberger Family Foundation.

The opening theme, "Kinematics" is composed arranged, programmed and produced by Jun Miyake and adds to the mystique of the show.

The show's co-hosts are Seth Shostak and Molly Bentley. Shostak and Bentley have been doing for years, so they are comfortable as hosts, interviewers, and with each other. The co-hosts can geek out on hard science and still laugh at science nerdiness, and they can get tough with junk science theories and claims. In essence, they make an enjoyable combo, like vanilla ice cream on apple pie.

Seth Shostak is the Senior Astronomer at the SETI Institute, in Mountain View, California. He has an undergraduate degree in physics from Princeton University, and a doctorate in astronomy from the California Institute of Technology. For much of his career, Shostak conducted radio astronomy research on galaxies, and has published approximately fifty papers in professional journals. He also founded and ran a company producing computer animation for TV.

Seth Shostak has written several hundred popular magazine and Web articles on various topics in astronomy, technology, film and television. He has edited and contributed to a half dozen books. His first popular tome, “Sharing the Universe: Perspectives on Extraterrestrial Life” appeared in 1998. He has also authored “Life in the Universe” (2006, 2nd edition, textbook, with Jeff Bennett) and “Cosmic Company” (2003, with Alex Barnett). His most recent book is “Confessions of an Alien Hunter” (2009).

Molly Bentley oversees the production of Big Picture Science. She has worked as a science journalist for the BBC, including World Service, Radio 4 and Science/Nature Online. She has also written for New Scientist. Furthermore, she teaches a course on radio writing and podcast production at the University of California, Santa Cruz Science Writing Program.

She’s been an invited participant to a number of workshops about helping scientists communicate more effectively with reporters, including the Aldo Leopold Leadership Program, Switzer Environmental Fellowship workshop, and the Scripps Institution of Oceanography Science Communication Workshop, sponsored by the Metcalf Institute and funded in part by the National Science Foundation.

She attended M.I.T.’s Knight Science Journalism workshops in 2007 and 2010. Her radio career began when she wandered into Wisconsin Public Radio and landed a job answering the phones for the early-morning call-in show, then graduated on to less insane hours as assistant producer of the national radio magazine, To the Best of Our Knowledge.

So, of my favorite episodes features a show with the fabulous, witty, and often wacky science writer Mary Roach. In "Animals Being Jerks," the subtitle says it all -- "They’re cute and cuddly. But they can also be obnoxious."

Then, we listen, amazed and amused, when Roach spin bizarre tales about how our animal friends don’t always bow to their human overlords and behave the way we’d want. The resulting encounters, such as when gulls disrupt the Vatican’s Easter mass, make for amusing stories. But others, such as wolves threatening farmers’ livestock, can be tragic.

On the April 15, 2024, episode, "For The Birds" we hear about migratory birds that travel thousands of miles in a display of endurance that would make an Olympic athlete gasp. More importantly, we discover what can we do to save disappearing species? Plus, we learn how 19th century bird-lovers, appalled by feathered hats, started the modern conservation movement.

Finally, on the recent July 11, 2024, show -- "Aliens Now" -- the co-hosts talk to astrophysicist Adam Frank about the possibility of intelligent life on other planets. Don't worry. There are no discussion of anal probes, or aliens bursting out of your chest. Instead, Frank explains the Drake Equation and Fermi Paradox, which are the yin and yang of the "are there intelligent aliens" question. Frank explains that NASA is planning a telescope after the James Webb Telescope called the "Habitable Worlds Observatory," which focuses on finding other life in the universe.

Check out Big Picture Science. It is one of the best science podcasts out there. After all, as Fox Mulder of The X Files once intoned, "Scully, the truth is out there."

Planet Chrisley Becomes Main Outlet For Imperial Alliance Brands.

Arc 007 and Sutra LA blogs were temporary test placements for branding and use as media outlets. Now after several years of brand testing, it is the final decision to relinquish the roll of newsroom, digital magazine, and communications aggregator and encryptor as Planet Chrisley permanently.

PlanetChrisley.com (aka "The Planet Network" or simply "The Planet") was first launched by Robert Chrisley (aka "The Arc Angel Crowe") and his parent company Imperial Alliance Corporation in September 2001, 3 years after the launch of his agency Sutra Nexus, which is 5 days older than Google.

The site was the first of its kind then, a social network that celebrated all things rock, metal, classical, trance, electronic, industrial, and alternative while at the same time promoting Chrisley's own music.

Housing strict endorsement policies of what kind of music was allowed on the platform forged the endorsed list of The Chrisley Music Group and Publishers; a list of favorites and approved artists based on meeting a mixed criteria of real world check boxes vs an internal governmental honor code taken from the pages of Chrisley's epic legendarium "The Empire Chronicles" from which the Arc Angel Crowe character is based.

Growing its own inner network of cliques and being one of the first sites to offer virtual gifts, point/level profile gaming system, char lounges with music streams, as well as a working inner theme mirroring a multiverse where The Empire Chronicles governmental system was the reality, the site grew fast in a pre-SEO, pre-Google and pre-Facebook gate-keeping internet.

But years riffed with bad hosting partners and development issues caused The Planet to be taken down and re-emerged on multiple developer platforms that always seem to lack the opposite of another lead to Planet Chrisley ending its social network arm in 2009.

In 2014, The Planet came back with what seemed a resurgence, but unfortunately the platform being used at the time was depreciated before Chrisley could reverse engineer it for permanent build out, thus, effectively turning Planet Chrisley into a digital magazine to date.

Follow The Planet for more celebrating 25 years of innovation and uncredited internet firsts.
