Her approach has transformed careers for countless entrepreneurs and leaders, and her journey from Big Law to entrepreneurship proves the power of strategic relationship building.

Oscar Wilde once wrote: “Everything is about sex, except sex. Sex is about power.” In this first installment of a two-part series, I discuss the truth of this statement's first claim. Especially when it comes to men, I contend that almost everything really is about sex. The sublimation of the sexual impulse into prosocial ends is what makes it possible for men to do the difficult, dangerous, and uncomfortable tasks demanded of civilization. For better or worse, productive output is largely based on this transformation. This is the true power of male desire.

Oscar Wilde is credited with saying, “Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit, but the highest form of intelligence.” If true, then there were some smart people in the Bible! Today's episode continues our “Holy Humor” series and includes sarcasm, puns, and other humorous stories and statements from the mouths of Samson, Elijah, and more.

Bu bölümde konuğum Osman Ulagay. Biz Osman Bey'i bir gazeteci, ekonomi yazarı olarak tanıyoruz. Son kitabı "Bir Ömrün Aynasında Türkiye'de 82 Yıl" ise onun hayat hikâyesini merkezine olarak hem Osman Ulagay'ı hem de Türkiye'nin farklı çalkantılı dönemlerini biraz daha farklı görmemizi sağlıyor.Ulagay'ın her iki dedesi de Cumhuriyet'in kuruluş yıllarında önemli vazifelerde buluşmuş Osmanlı devletinin yüksek seviyede memurları. Dedesi Hüsnü Kortel bir siyasetçi, üstelik Türkiye'nin ilk elektrik mühendislerinden biri; soyadı kanunu çıktığı zaman, elektrik enerjisinin aydınlatmada kullanılmasını ifade eden Kortel soyadını alıyor. Bir diğer dedesi Dr. İbrahim Etem Ulagay, eczacı, doctor ve kimyager. İbrahim Etem İlaç Fabrikası'nın kurucusu,ilk Reşat Altını'nı üretip gramajını belirleyen kişi.Belki de “burjuva” diyebileceğimiz bir sınıfta, 3 yabancı dil bilen, ona çocukluğunda Oscar Wilde hikayeleri okuyan bir anneyle büyüyen Osman Ulagay, ailesi ve çevresinde gelişen olaylar herkes çok dinlenesi, bakılası…Osman Bey ile sohbete Davos'tan girdik Çin'den çıktık, “eski Türkiye'den” bahsederken “Ne olacak bu Türkiye'nin dünyanın hali”ni de konuşmaya çalıştık… Meral Tamer'den söz etmeyi de tabii ki ihmal etmedik.Ulagay'ın “Bu kadar saçmalık fazla” sözüyle bitirdiği söyleşiyi dinlemenizi tavsiye ederim.

Don't miss the next episode of The Writers' Den: “When Art Imitates Life” – airing Sunday, June 29th at 11:00 AM! Oscar Wilde once said, “Life imitates art more than art imitates life.” But on this month's episode, art is clearly drawing from the real world. Join us for a powerful conversation with two authors whose stories—one fictional, one drawn from true events—blur the line between imagination and lived experience. Our special guest, Beth Hooper, is the award-winning author of Roots That Clutch, a novel rooted in reality and written with a literary style that reads like fiction. Her work reflects deep emotional truths and powerful commentary on human resilience. Our featured NHWP Author, E.H. Jacobs, brings us Splintered River, a timely debut novel that paints a stark and thought-provoking portrait of the world we live in today. Though fictional, its themes are hauntingly familiar and grounded in current social realities. Tune in Sunday, June 29th at 11:00 AM on WKXL 103.9/101.9 FM & 1450 AM or listen online at NHTalkRadio.com by selecting the Live Stream bar. This is a can't-miss episode that examines the real-life inspirations behind compelling literary works—and how storytelling reflects, and shapes, our understanding of the world. Mark your calendar and join us for “When Art Imitates Life.”

Famoso no solo por su talento literario, sino también por su lengua afilada, Oscar Wilde vio truncadas su carrera y su salud a causa de la homofobia. Un juez le condenó por su relación íntima con un joven aristócrata, lord Alfred Douglas. Isabel Margarit y Ana Echeverría Arístegui repasan en este episodio del podcast de ‘Historia y Vida' el accidentado proceso y todas las desgracias que derivaron de él para el escritor y su familia.

Può un algoritmo diventare cosciente? La mente umana è solo un computer biologico? In questo episodio de "La mia vita spaziale" Andrea Brugnoli ci accompagna in un viaggio straordinario attraverso le tesi rivoluzionarie di Federico Faggin nel suo libro "Irriducibile".Chi è Federico FagginNon stiamo parlando di un filosofo da poltrona: Faggin è l'inventore del microprocessore e uno dei pionieri assoluti della Silicon Valley. Quando il padre dell'informatica moderna mette in discussione il riduzionismo computazionale, vale la pena ascoltare.I temi chiave dell'episodio:• Il paradosso quantistico della libertà: "La natura quantistica ci sta già dicendo che il determinismo e il riduzionismo della fisica classica non esistono e che il libero arbitrio è possibile"• L'universo come linguaggio: la materia non precede la coscienza, ma ne è l'espressione• Il corpo come avatar temporaneo: una prospettiva che ribalta il materialismo classico• La visione narrativa del cosmo: "L'universo è fatto di storie, non di atomi"La riflessione del conduttore:"Questo libro mi ha costretto a riconsiderare profondamente il rapporto tra tecnologia e umanità. Faggin smonta quello che era un'illusione dei fisici del passato, l'Homunculus, quel fantomatico pilota che credavamo sedesse nella cabina di comando del nostro cranio."Faggin ci propone una visione in cui "siamo coautori, non spettatori dell'esistenza". Se ha ragione, ogni momento di presenza autentica diventa una finestra su una realtà più vasta di quella che immaginavamo.Timestamp principali:• 01:00:00 - Introduzione: l'universo è fatto di storie• 01:01:06 - Oscar Wilde e i limiti delle definizioni• 01:02:15 - La meccanica quantistica e il libero arbitrio• 01:05:00 - La coscienza che danza con la materia• 01:07:00 - Perché l'IA non sarà mai cosciente• 01:09:17 - Il corpo come avatar cosmico• 01:13:25 - L'universo fatto di storie, non di atomi• 01:16:13 - Conclusioni: coautori dell'esistenzaTi sei mai chiesto se esista qualcosa di irriducibilmente umano che nessuna tecnologia potrà mai replicare?

Author Katia Ariel tells the story of Ephraim Finch, a man synonymous with death in the Melbourne Jewish community. He started life as Geoffrey William, the son of a butcher, who would go on to become a master builder before his life became unrecognisable to him.Several years ago, Melbourne author and book editor, Katia was invited to write Ephraim's biography.Katia was already familiar with his name.She had seen the way mourners uttered his name and felt a sense of calm and ease within their sorrow, because they trusted Ephraim as a master of death who would know how to lead them through the world of mourning.Ephraim started life as Geoffrey William Finch, the son of a butcher in the working class suburb of Ashfield in Sydney in the 1940s. He learned his love of reading from his pop, who would come home from his job at the abattoir and read Oscar Wilde's work over a cigar on the porch. From a young age Ephraim felt an ineffable pull toward monotheism and converted to Judaism, along with his wife, Cas, after the pair met as teenagers at the Wagga Wagga Royal Show.Eventually he was drawn to his vocation — the sacred and quiet ritual of preparing bodies for burial. And he became the go-to man in Melbourne, where over his career he has buried more than 10,000 people.Further informationFerryman: The life and deathwork of Ephraim Finch is published by Wild Dingo Press.Katia's first book, a memoir is called The Swift Dark Tide, published by Gazebo Books.Find out more about the Conversations Live National Tour on the ABC website.Conversations' Executive Producer is Nicola Harrison. This episode was produced by Alice Moldovan.This episode of Conversations touches on death, grief, mourning, burial, Judaism, Jewish, chevra kadisha, Ephraim Finch, Melbourne, Orthodox Judaism, conversion, Jewish conversion, Wagga Wagga, Herman Wouk, deathwork, funerals, epic life stories, origin stories, loss, reflection and biography.

What's so gay about food? (Besides the fact that you use your mouth for it.)The answer, OF COURSE, lies in 18th century France.In fact, food's sexy origins go even further back, all the way to the ancients: from Eve's naughty apple to Ancient Roman oysters (they made their orgasms more intense!).But it was the invention of the restaurant in 18th century Paris that made food sexy, dangerous, and ultimately, gay.By the 20th century, figures like Oscar Wilde and the Bloomsbury Set had made sure it was officially queer to eat out. Their associations of food with aesthetics and art ran counter to Anglo-American fears of public pleasure.Eventually, it became more normal for people other than the French to talk about food, and even to try making their daily fare at home more edible. Thus began the modern association of caring about good food with homosexuality.We end this episode discussing the lasting impact of those associations on our modern relationship with food.Join us for this open buffet on food's queer history, featuring Professor Rachel Cleves, author of Lustful Appetites: A History of Good Food and Wicked Sex.Together we uncover:The origins of the restaurant (aka Whore Dinner)18th century Viagra brothVirginia Woolf's gay best friend who made English food more French (thank GOD)The Lavender Scare's impact on American foodHow capitalism made food less gay for straight menYou can follow Historical Homos on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, and you should ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠sign up to our newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ if you care about gay people at all.Written and hosted by Bash.

Episode 173:For this guest episode it is a very welcome return for Eleanor Conlon, who you will remember discussed Titus Andronicus with me in Episode 22 of this season. Having picked over the brutal actions of that play with Eleanor I was pleased to hear that she was interested in a return visit and to discuss the very different piece that is Love's Labour's Lost. As you will her Eleanor has a great love of this play and brings all the enthusiasm about it to our conversation that you as might expect. If you have not already done so I would recommend listening to my previous episode on Love's Labour's Lost before starting on this one, which adds a lot to what I said in that episode.Eleanor Conlon is an actor, director, and award-winning writer based in Sussex.After completing her BA in English Literature at Goldsmiths, University of London, Eleanor earned her MA in Shakespeare and Early Modern Drama at Kings College and Shakespeare's Globe. While at The Globe, Eleanor worked dramaturgically on productions by Dominic Dromgoole, Matthew Dunster, and Jeremy Herrin, and with Jenny Tiramani on the Original Practices Costume Archive.As an academic, her research focused on Renaissance Magic, Gender and Culture in Early Modern London, though for more than a decade her career has been less theoretical and more practical. After achieving success with her theatre company ‘The Barefoot Players' in the late 2000s and early 2010s, with which she produced plays including ‘Tis Pity She's a Whore', ‘Doctor Faustus' and ‘The Alchemist', the latter two of which she also directed, as well as productions of several of Shakespeare's works, plays by Ibsen, Oscar Wilde, and others. She founded her current theatre company ‘Rust & Stardust' where working with her puppet-maker partner Katie Sommers Eleanor has written over a dozen plays rooted in English folklore and toured these shows all over the UK.In addition to all this, and as you are about to hear, in 2023 she launched the Three Ravens Podcast with her partner Martin Vaux – also a writer and actor – which explores history, legends, and diverse aspects of folk culture.Link to Three Ravens Podcast website: www.threeravenspodcast.comFor the Three Ravens Folktales Book:Link to Amazon UK: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Three-Ravens-Folk-Tales-half-forgotten/dp/1803999683Link To Amazon US: https://www.amazon.com/Three-Ravens-Folk-Tales-half-forgotten-ebook/dp/B0CW1GB63M/ref=sr_1_1Support the podcast at:www.thehistoryofeuropeantheatre.comwww.patreon.com/thoetpwww.ko-fi.com/thoetp Hosted on Acast.

O discuție despre scrierile lui Oscar Wilde și mai ales despre traducerile apărute la Humanitas, împreună cu Liana Alexandru, jurnalistă, traducătoare și autoare de carte pentru copii.

Our first biopic on Oscar Wilde, somewhat surprisingly. This week we're talkin' chili with beans is woke, restorative justice, flat Fry.Leeja Miller | How Oscar Wilde Ruined It for Gay Victorians EverywherePlease help if you are at all ablehttps://linktr.ee/thesameerprojecthttps://gofund.me/658c2061 https://gazafunds.com/https://chuffed.org/project/hope-giving-circle+++++Outro: Doja Kat performing OKLOSER

Typiskt brittiskt är ett uttryck som ofta förknippas med varuhuset Liberty och dess många småblommiga textilmönster. I år firar varumärket 150 år. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Liberty är ett av Londons äldsta varuhus och varumärken. De har idag ett arkiv på runt 60 000 olika mönster som förvaras i en bombsäker bunker på en övergiven militärbas i Oxfordshire. Men så är det mönster som inspirerat artister, modeskapare och musiker från 1875, ända in i vår tid.När Arthur Lasenby Liberty grundade varumärket 1875 ville han skapa en butik som inte skulle följa modet, utan som skulle sätta nya trender inom både kläder, och kultur. Författaren Oscar Wilde blev en stammis på varuhuset och sade att det var den självklara destinationen för ”den konstnärliga shopparen”.Under de 150 år som gått har förstås varumärkets trendfaktor gått upp och ned. Men under senare år har modevärlden börjat få upp ögonen för Libertys många mönstrade tyger. Allt från Gucci till Acne Studios har gjort samarbeten.I veckans program pratar vi med Karin Lindberg som driver ett över 100 år gammalt familjeföretag som sedan sekelskiftet varit återförsäljare av Libertys tyger och textilier. Författaren och kulturhistoriker Elisabeth Svalin Gunnarsson berättar om Blanche Dickson som lät bygga Tjolöholms slott utanför Göteborg vid förra sekelskiftet – en ståtlig byggnad som är full av exklusiv inredning från Liberty. Och så träffar vi formgivaren och illustratören Astrid Wilson som precis som Liberty ofta och gärna använder blommor som motiv när hon skapar sina färgsprakande mönster.

message me: what did you take away from this episode? Ep 97 (http://ibit.ly/Re5V) Caroline Hollins Martin pt 1 on Birth Trauma, Psychology, and the Midwife's Journey@PhDMidwives #research #midwifery  #education @EdinburghNapier #birthsatisfactionscale research link - t.ly/I6zN1https://www.bss-r.co.ukWhat happens when a lifelong calling meets relentless intellectual curiosity? Caroline Hollings-Martin takes us on her extraordinary journey from the moment she witnessed a birth video in secondary school and thought, "That is a miracle" to becoming a professor with over 139 published papers spanning midwifery, psychology, and birth trauma.Travelling through four decades of healthcare evolution, Caroline shares fascinating contrasts between midwifery training then—with its starched caps and strict hierarchies—and now. Her vivid descriptions transport us to delivery rooms where she discovered her purpose and academic halls where she pushed boundaries by combining midwifery with psychology long before interdisciplinary approaches became mainstream.The conversation reveals powerful insights about evidence-based practice, exploring why healthcare professionals sometimes struggle to challenge authority even when research supports them. Caroline's groundbreaking work on birth satisfaction (creating the BSS-R scale now used globally) and birth trauma offers practical tools for identifying women needing support, while her work with Turner syndrome demonstrates how midwifery skills extend beyond traditional settings.Most compelling is her candid account of completing a PhD while working full-time—comparing the process to labor itself: "Every contraction is one less. It's like three feet forward and two back, but you're inching forward with every contraction." Her purple graduation shoes story perfectly captures the determination that drives her work and inspires listeners to pursue their own academic dreams.Whether you're considering advanced education, seeking to blend disciplines in your career, or simply fascinated by the evolution of healthcare, this episode offers both practical wisdom and heartfelt inspiration. As Caroline quotes Oscar Wilde: "We're all lying in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." Listen now to elevate your vision of what's possible in your professional journey.

Bu bölümde Bediüzzaman Said Nursî'nin Gençlik Rehberi'nde ortaya koyduğu hakikat merkezli hayat anlayışı ile Oscar Wilde'ın meşhur eseri Dorian Gray'in Portresinde yer alan Lord Henry karakterinin haz odaklı, bireyci fikirlerini karşılaştırıyoruz.

I, Stewart Alsop, am thrilled to welcome Xathil of Poliebotics to this episode of Crazy Wisdom, for what is actually our second take, this time with a visual surprise involving a fascinating 3D-printed Bauta mask. Xathil is doing some truly groundbreaking work at the intersection of physical reality, cryptography, and AI, which we dive deep into, exploring everything from the philosophical implications of anonymity to the technical wizardry behind his "Truth Beam."Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps01:35 Xathil explains the 3D-printed Bauta Mask, its Venetian origins, and its role in enabling truth through anonymity via his project, Poliepals.04:50 The crucial distinction between public identity and "real" identity, and how pseudonyms can foster truth-telling rather than just conceal.10:15 Addressing the serious risks faced by crypto influencers due to public displays of wealth and the broader implications for online identity.15:05 Xathil details the core Poliebotics technology: the "Truth Beam," a projector-camera system for cryptographically timestamping physical reality.18:50 Clarifying the concept of "proof of aliveness"—verifying a person is currently live in a video call—versus the more complex "proof of liveness."21:45 How the speed of light provides a fundamental advantage for Poliebotics in outmaneuvering AI-generated deepfakes.32:10 The concern of an "inversion," where machine learning systems could become dominant over physical reality by using humans as their actuators.45:00 Xathil's ambitious project to use Poliebotics for creating cryptographically verifiable records of biodiversity, beginning with an enhanced Meles trap.Key InsightsAnonymity as a Truth Catalyst: Drawing from Oscar Wilde, the Bauta mask symbolizes how anonymity or pseudonyms can empower individuals to reveal deeper, more authentic truths. This challenges the notion that masks only serve to hide, suggesting they can be tools for genuine self-expression.The Bifurcation of Identity: In our digital age, distinguishing between one's core "real" identity and various public-facing personas is increasingly vital. This separation isn't merely about concealment but offers a space for truthful expression while navigating public life.The Truth Beam: Anchoring Reality: Poliebotics' "Truth Beam" technology employs a projector-camera system to cast cryptographic hashes onto physical scenes, recording them and anchoring them to a blockchain. This aims to create immutable, verifiable records of reality to combat the rise of sophisticated deepfakes.Harnessing Light Speed Against Deepfakes: The fundamental defense Poliebotics offers against AI-generated fakes is the speed of light. Real-world light reflection for capturing projected hashes is virtually instantaneous, whereas an AI must simulate this complex process, a task too slow to keep up with real-time verification.The Specter of Humans as AI Actuators: A significant future concern is the "inversion," where AI systems might utilize humans as unwitting agents to achieve their objectives in the physical world. By manipulating incentives, AIs could effectively direct human actions, raising profound questions about agency.Towards AI Symbiosis: The ideal future isn't a human-AI war or complete technological asceticism, but a cooperative coexistence between nature, humanity, and artificial systems. This involves developing AI responsibly, instilling human values, and creating systems that are non-threatening and beneficial.Contact Information*   Polybotics' GitHub*   Poliepals*   Xathil: Xathil@ProtonMail.com

Elizabeth Barrett (1806-1861) was one of the most prolific and accomplished poets of the Victorian age, an inspiration to Emily Dickinson, Oscar Wilde, Edgar Allan Poe, and countless others. And yet, her life was full of cloistered misery, as her father insisted that she should never marry. And then, the clouds lifted, and a letter arrived. It was from the poet Robert Browning (1812-1889), admiring her from afar, declaring his love. How did these two poets find each other? What kind of life did they share afterwards? And what dark secrets had led to her father's restrictions…and how might that have affected his daughter's poetry? Host Jacke Wilson takes a look at the story of the Brownings.

“I tell kids that books are not there to torment you. The author has to get you in the first ten pages. If they do not, they fail, because a book is like a lawnmower—you pull it, and either it starts or it doesn't start.” –Soman ChainaiSoman Chainani wants reading to feel irresistible. The bestselling author of "The School for Good and Evil," series and the recently released graphic novel, "Coven," shares how his own reading life began—powered by Anne Rice, Michael Crichton, and a complete lack of adult supervision—and how those early obsessions shaped his belief that stories should be bold, boundary-pushing, and personal.In this episode, Soman explains why middle grade books can (and should) feel dangerous, how his grandmother's glamorous storytelling shaped his imagination, and what a book needs to do in its first ten pages to hook a reader. He also unpacks the “moral grayness” that defines his favorite novels and his own writing, and makes a compelling case for why kids need more honesty, not less, in the stories we give them.Tune in for a fast-paced episode that includes Madonna, hot takes, and tips for breaking (all) the rules. ***Soman's reading challenge, Immersive, is all about getting lost in a story. The books he curated blur the line between fiction and reality, pulling the reader in so completely you forget the world around you. Learn more and download Soman's recommended reading list at threadingculturepod.com/soman-chainani***This week's featured librarian is Jasmine Haverly from Aldine Independent School District in Texas.

Johanna Taylor joins Jimmy on the podcast today to talk about The Ghostkeeper, her original graphic novel that came out in July 2024. Jimmy loved the premise of The Ghostkeeper so much he had to chat with Johanna about it. Now that he's read it and recorded the podcast he's been more devoted than ever around the Yeti Cave to convert others to readers. Johanna is an illustrator and artist with a BFA in animation. She discusses the story and art of The Ghostkeeper, the influence of Oscar Wilde, and finding inspiration as she travels. Jimmy and Johanna discuss some of the important themes of The Ghostkeeper, including dealing with loss and grief, burnout, taking on too much and feeling like you can't ask for help, the importance of caring for your mental health. They discuss all of this within the context of Johanna's beautiful art style. This is a wonderful conversation about a phenomenal graphic novel.  The Ghostkeeper has also recently been translated into French AND Johanna was accepted to the Chateau Orqueveaux artist residency! She will be in France the end of April until mid-May. She'll be a guest at the Rayon Vert Comic Festival, and will have book signings in Chaumont, Nancy, and Paris. So if we have any French listeners, be on the lookout for Johanna!  Buy The Ghostkeeper here: https://theghostkeeper.carrd.co/ Check out Johanna's website: https://www.johannamation.com/ Follow Johanna on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/johannamation.bsky.social Here is how the publisher describes The Ghostkeeper:  Dorian Leith can see ghosts. Not only that, he listens to their problems and tries to help them move on to the afterlife. It's a gift that's made him an outcast to everyone in town. That is except for his dearly departed grandmother, who he's partnered with to turn this paranormal ability into an honest living, and the local bookshop owner, who seems to be the only non-deceased person willing to give him a chance. But it's all worth it to Dorian, who feels like he's been given a bigger purpose. A chance to save those who cannot save themselves. Then one day, the key to Death's Door is stolen, trapping all the ghosts in the land of the living. Since he's only one who can see them, the spirits rely on Dorian to retrieve the key before it is too late. If they can't move on, they'll soon be consumed by a ghostly rot that has begun to plague them. As it continues to fester and spread, and the ghosts become desperate for relief, Dorian must do whatever it takes to find a way to bring peace to the restless dead—even if that peace comes at the cost of his own….

Plus: Did the search for extraterrestrial life just take a huge leap? We reach Cambridge University's Nikku Madhusudhan to explore the possibility.  Also: As spring struggles to break through, we bring you the late, great Fireside Al Maitland's reading of Oscar Wilde's The Selfish Giant. 

In The Nero-Antichrist: Founding and Fashioning a Paradigm (Cambridge UP, 2020), Shushma Malik reconstructs the means by which the emperor Nero came to be identified with the New Testament's antichrist. Malik surveys the first four Christian centuries to show how Nero mythology developed, often in ways that were much more positive than we might expect, and how early Christians appropriated this tradition as an apologetic weapon, to demonstrate that their scriptures had in fact predicted the character of his reign. By the fifth century, this argument was less appealing, and largely dropped out of view among Christian expositors until its revival in the nineteenth century, by, among other writers, Oscar Wilde.  Crawford Gribben is a professor of history at Queen's University Belfast.

We dip into cinematic classics of the silent age (before people learned how to talk) with 1923 classic SALOMÉ, co-directed by married couple Charles Bryant and Alla Nazimova. The latter stars as the titular SALOMÉ, a Bible character who has achieved historical infamy despite not being officially referred to by her first name. The story is provocative: a teenage princess dances seductively for her stepfather King Herod who promises her anything in reward; she picks the head of prophet John the Baptist, who is summarily executed and presented to her on a platter. Bryant and Nazimova's SALOMÉ takes cues from the Oscar Wilde play on the subject, adding extra-historical depth to the characters to portray Herod's throne in the throes of self destructive decadence. Male characters are simpering and devilishly gay (note that Alla Nazimova herself was openly bisexual, so this feels like intentional camp rather than homophobia.) Fashions are extravagant and imaginative, seeming both historical and futuristic. Physical acting is taken to extremes: SALOMÉ is a truly exciting watch, showcasing how much depth of character is possible from a silent film. To watch SALOMÉ is to not only experience an avant-garde take on Bible story, but also to see human ingenuity on full display with no boundaries to self expression despite limitations by emerging technology. Unrelated, in this episode the Bible Boys also discuss our new obsessions in ultra contemporary media: Harmony Korine's BABY INVASION and teen orthodox Jewish influencer Flynn Goldstein.
