Join us as Ben, Dessy, Tiago, and Rose cover the inspirations behind Ace Attorney! We wrap up our coverage of The Innocence of Father Brown with some wild ups and downs, between atheist cobblers, hammers plummeting from the skies, journeying to fairyland, and worshiping the sun the sun the sun! We also deal with some old-timey racism, wonder whether women can wield hammers, and all the fun Catholicism can hold for us. Or not. Any resonance with a rickety house perched precariously over train tracks has nothing to do with Tiago's apartment right next to a train stop is incidental at most! We end up packaging our little Father Brown into a suitcase and sending him on his way, and we wish him well. We had a wonderful time meeting him!

Hey Strangers, #assassinscreed #japan #fact In Japan, a Change.org petition has surfaced to ban Assassin's Creed Shadows. It has now been a fair few weeks since Ubisoft lifted the lid on this year's Assassin's Creed title, announcing a dual protagonist adventure set in Feudal Japan – a setting that fans have been desperate to experience for many years. However, Japanese fans of the franchise were quick to voice their disappointment and concern about the game, with the most extreme claims suggesting that Ubisoft is floating racism and severe historical inaccuracy in Shadows, which is set to be released in November. ======================================= I had to Make a playlist for this lol https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPn9z2zi8y0ZDNRGzJtPin2V-Ad2K_3bl ************************************************** My other podcast https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKpvBEElSl1dD72Y5gtepkw ************************************************** article links: Please respect the creator and his work SHOHEI KONDO https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZ5_gjUWfTE https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/racism https://www.ubisoft.com/en-us/company/careers/locations/tokyo/ubisoft-japan https://www.reddit.com/r/assassinscreed/comments/1cyrl7q/lgbtq_has_been_in_odyssey_valhalla_why_is_it_an/ https://www.thepinknews.com/2024/05/24/assassins-creed-shadows-lgbtq/ https://forums.escapistmagazine.com/threads/ubisofts-assassins-creed-opening-disclaimer-change-is-bizarre.137914/ https://www.thegamer.com/assassins-creed-shadows-yasuke-character-history-racism-woke/ https://celadonbooks.com/what-is-historical-fiction/ https://time.com/6039381/yasuke-black-samurai-true-story/ https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/who-was-yasuke-japans-first-black-samurai-180981416/ https://thejapanbox.com/blogs/japanese-samurai/harada-sanosuke https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/8eg41r/what_would_happen_if_a_samurai_refused_to_commit/ https://www.quora.com/Were-there-any-cases-where-a-Samurai-did-not-commit-Seppuku-or-did-not-want-to-commit-Seppuku-after-a-defeat#:~:text=The%20founder%20of%20the%20swordsmanship,in%20order%20to%20avoid%20bloodshed. https://ihj.global/en/experts/ https://www.reddit.com/user/Current_Swan2791/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_of_Samurai_Champloo https://www.ign.com/articles/tekken-8-director-responds-to-the-many-fans-asking-for-a-waffle-house-level https://www.reddit.com/r/Animesuggest/comments/18ymjbz/anime_to_watch_if_ure_interested_in_hip_hop/ https://mai-ko.com/travel/culture-in-japan/japanese-culture-1/#:~:text=Samurai%20means%20%E2%80%9Cthe%20one%20who,samurai%20and%20avoid%20eye%2Dcontact. ====================================== Today is for push-ups and Programming and I am all done doing push-ups Discord https://discord.gg/MYvNgYYFxq TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@strangestcoder Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@codingwithstrangers Twitch https://www.twitch.tv/CodingWithStrangers Twitter https://twitter.com/strangestcoder merch Support CodingWithStrangers IRL by purchasing some merch.

Show Notes Episode 440: Booze Cruise to the Bermuda Triangle This week Host Dave Bledsoe goes to a Tiki Bar in Teaneck and gets lost on the way to the bathroom. (Again) On the show this week we examine the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle. (We mean why people in the 1970's suddenly got so into the idea of the Bermuda Triangle.  The other stuff is easily explained.) Along the way we learn that Dave is like he is because parents in the 70's didn't love their kids enough. (This is a baseless lie told for comedic effect, his parents HAD to love him a lot not to give him up for adoption) Then we dive right into the mysterious region called the Devil's Triangle. (Not a euphemism for a well manicured bush) From its origins as some shit Christopher Columbus made up to make himself look cool, to some shit some dudes centuries later made up to sell books and magazines. (There is a common thread) We tell you about all the ways Hollywood made money off the triangle, and all the ways Milton Bradley made up to make money. (Yes, there was a board game!) Finally, we give you the rational explanation for what is happening you all need for closure. (Nothing, nothing is happening.) Our Sponsor this week is Eternal Cruise Lines, isn't it time to leave it all behind?  We open with Leonard Nimoy searching, and close with Gary Gee plotting some dark shit for his lady.

On this episode of MITM Laura and Aaron step back in time for MITM Christmas Special Pt. 1.  Winter solstice and the dangerous dark days of the past are discussed.  Laura shares the oldest winter tradition, Yule, dating back before the year 527, was celebrated and started by Norse Pagans in Scandinavia.  The pagans used ancient superstitions to keep their homes and themselves save from the evil spirits of winter, that could result in death.  Winter could be a dark scary time but in order to survive they needed to have hope.  The 21st of December marks the winter solstice, it marks the return of the sun, days start to become longer from this point on.  This was a time to celebrate and be with loved ones.  Burning Yule logs, drinking wassail, telling stories, decorating with evergreens, were all parts of the celebration.       Over in Rome, the Roman Pagans celebrated the ancient tradition of Saturnalia, known to share similarities with Yule, however the Romans got a little crazier than the Scandinavians.  Saturnalia consisted of a week long party, the whole social structure was turned upside down, slaves were treated as equals, a lower member of the family was put in charge for the week and their job was to act foolish.  Drunken celebrations and singing in the streets was all apart of this.  Eventually Christianity took over. These celebrations ended and Christmas began. However Yule is still celebrated today by pagans. There are clear ties to the ancient traditions and the Christmas holiday has adopted parts of it that are still done today.    Aaron shares the evolution of Santa Claus through the years, dating back to the 1800's.

Kim and Jen thought it would be timely to re-release this episode since many Florida teachers are packing up their classrooms to avoid being convicted of a felony for having an unvetted book in their classrooms. Trigger warning: We discuss sensitive themes including sex and violence that we find in classic literature. We understand that some content is unsuitable for certain ages. However, if one is censoring books, one should be aware of the content in much of the literature that has been on the approved lists for decades. We aren't saying the classics should be banned, but we are proving a point that one must be well-read and well-versed in literature in a holistic manner before one bans books based on excerpts taken out of context. Why can't we choose excerpts from books that don't include questionable content but support our literary instruction?SOURCEShttps://quizlet.com/208126359/romeo-and-juliet-sex-quotes-flash-cards/https://www.bustle.com/p/7-times-the-canterbury-tales-was-way-dirtier-than-50-shades-of-grey-66368https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/8ljrx2/odysseus_has_sex_with_several_women_hecuba_circe/https://www.elitedaily.com/life/culture/romeo-and-juliet-not-romantic/1792993https://www.ajc.com/education/get-schooled-blog/opinion-first-it-was-critical-race-theory-now-its-books/EAD2MYAYBFETZAPXI2QUVBUYUE/ Twisted Teachers Podcast wants to hear from you!Website-Twistedteacherspodcast.comLINKTREE :https://linktr.ee/twistedteacherContact us via email: Twistedteachers2@gmail.comInstagram: @twisted__teacher; @inked_educator68; @escaping_educationTik Tok: @inkededucator @escape_educationFacebook: @TwistedTeacherLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jennifersquireroberts
