Public Domain Day 2022: Trespassers Will

The Piglet lived in a very grand house in the middle of a beech-tree, and the beech-tree was in the middle of the forest, and the Piglet lived in the middle of the house. Next to his house was a piece of broken board which had "TRESPASSERS W" on it.

Gold, Money, 666 and The Mark of the Beast

Gold, Money and The Mark of the Beast 666 One of the most convincing characteristics that suggests that the Mark of the Beast is a physical object is its requirement to buy and sell. In contrast, it's very difficult to imagine how a spiritual symbol could be used for such purposes. There's an important verse in the Old Testament that supports the Mark of the Beast's close connection to money and 666. Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred threescore and ...

What Do Stripes Have to Say About Your Character?

From the rebels to the outcasts to the villainous schemers, stripes have a lot to say about your characters.  Stripes are one of the most noticeable patterns in existence, standing out because of their immediate and repetitive change from one color to another. The human eye and mind are unable to distinguish the foreground from the background, making the pattern hypnotic and visually confusing.  There is even an evolutionary theory that zebras wear stripes to confuse predators...

Inception's Spinning Top Explains Christopher Nolan's Entire Career - CBR - Comic Book Resources

There’s nothing quite like the final moments of a film, that culmination of everything an audience has witnessed alone in the dark, investing in this fictional world. And while most films don’t end with such a powerful flourish, when they do, that aura can remain well past the ending credits, such as Se7en’s "What’s in the box?" scene, the mind-warping finale to 2001: A Space Odyssey or the long shot on the bus at the end of The Graduate. Among all these films, 2010’s Inception stands out wit...

Rabbit Academy review – Easter-timed animation gets its eggs all scrambled

Possessed of a truly eggsecrable subtitle – Mission Eggpossible – this Easter-themed German animation probably supplies just enough frantic hi-jinks to keep small children mildly absorbed over the holidays. But its scatty plot, about a group of master rabbits responsible for distributing Easter eggs and the jealous foxes who wish to supplant them, was seemingly cooked up by someone slipping into a chocolate-induced coma. Its difficulties are evident as Ute von Münchow-Pohl’s film can bar...

Childhood, Youth, Dependency

The story I wanted to write this week is not ready. Originally, it was part of last week's story Thomas Thomas. But that story grew too complex, so I stripped it back to its narrative essentials and pushed the difficult parts into this week. This week, those difficult parts have expanded and grown even more complex. So much so that finishing it in time for today's newsletter was an impossibility.

Odysseus: A Man of Many Faces

Aug 17, 20205 minOdysseus: A Man of Many FacesUpdated: Dec 24, 2020From the beginning the Greeks’ poetry was intended to be sung or recited. The subject was myth—part legend, part folktale, part religious speculation and partly based on the shadowy memory of an era before the Greek adoption of writing circa seventh or eighth century BCE. People in Homer's day had no access to the sort of historical records on which we today depend, especially regarding the period when Agamemnon supposedly led...

The Drugs Used by the Ancient Greeks and Romans

And given the ever-increasing sophistication of the growing and processing techniques that underlie what has become a formidable cannabis industry, perhaps, on some level, we are. But as intellectually avid enthusiasts of psychoactive substances won’t hesitate to tell you, their use stretches farther back in time than history itself. "For as lo...

The Curious Symbolism of Autumn in Literature and Myth

Autumn is at once symbolic of plenty, ripening, harvest, and abundance; and, at the same time, a symbol of decay, decline, old age, and even death, with associations of things being past their prime. To understand this we need to look at how writers have depicted autumn in poetry and other literature. In classical Greek mythology, the goddess of autumn was Carpo, who was part of the Horae or Hours, three goddesses who were the offspring of Zeus and Aphrodite and represented the three se...
