On the heels of Mother's Day, tune into Memoir Nation this week for a conversation about *mother as character*—among many other potential characters any one of us might be on the page.

Nicole Graev Lipson is the author of the memoir-in-essays Mothers and Other Fictional Characters. Her writing has been awarded a Pushcart Prize, selected for The Best American Essays anthology, and shortlisted for a National Magazine Award.

Dali Says=The Persistence of Memory, today , in this FICTIONAL mini Mnemonic-Dali is tying this into a way of a heart brain coherence Mnemonic utilizing memory palaces with attempted suggested visual images/imagery and establishing a PAO system accordingly. This is GB stabbing at a wildly creative and ambitious stretch, blending surrealist art, neuroscience, memory techniques, and personal organization! Let's see if GB can make some sense of this fascinating connection.The Persistence of Memory & Brain Reward/Habits:Salvador Dali's "The Persistence of Memory" with its melting clocks evokes themes of:Time Distortion: The fluid, distorted clocks challenge our linear perception of time. This can be metaphorically linked to how our perception of time and effort changes as habits become ingrained and feel less burdensome (the "melting" away of the perceived difficulty).Subconscious and Dreams: Dali's surreal landscapes often represent the subconscious mind. Building strong habits can become almost subconscious, requiring less conscious effort over time, like a well-rehearsed dream.Persistence Despite Change: The clocks continue to exist in their melted state, suggesting a form of persistence despite a radical change in form. This can symbolize the persistence of good habits even when faced with challenges or changes in routine.Memory and Decay: The melting could also symbolize the fading of memories or the need to actively engage with and reinforce them, just as we need to reinforce good habits.Heart-Brain Coherence Mnemonic:Heart-brain coherence refers to the physiological state where the heart's rhythm and the brain's electrical activity become synchronized. This state is often associated with feelings of calm, focus, and emotional balance.GB continues to try to weave this into a mnemonic by associating elements of "The Persistence of Memory" with the concept of heart-brain coherence as a desirable state achieved through consistent good habits:Melting Clocks: Imagine the rigid, stressful aspects of your old, less healthy routines melting away, replaced by a smoother, more coherent flow.Ants: The ants swarming on one of the clocks could represent the persistent, almost automatic nature of well-established good habits working in the background, contributing to your overall well-being and coherence.The Landscape: The serene yet strange landscape could symbolize the inner peace and focused mental state that heart-brain coherence and positive habits can foster.GB is trying to populate a memory palace with imagery linking "The Persistence of Memory Salvador Dali-," heart-brain coherence, and your good habits:Location 1 (Entrance): You see a giant, melting clock draped over the entrance. As it melts, it doesn't disappear but transforms into a smooth, gently pulsating heart, radiating a calm blue light (representing coherence). This symbolizes the "melting" away of old resistance to habits, replaced by a state of ease.Location 2 (Familiar Object):Location 3 (Distinct Feature): Location 4 AnotherMystery Object?: Establishing a PAO (Person-Action-Object) System:Person: Salvador Dali (representing the surreal connection and memory itself)Action: Painting (representing the active creation and reinforcement of good habits)Object: A perfectly synchronized metronome (representing heart-brain coherence)Location 1 (Melting Clock Heart): Salvador Dali (Person) #DaliHabits,#MeltingIntoGoodHabits,#SurrealSelfImprovement,#HeartBrainMemory,#CoherentHabits,#MemoryPalaceMastery,#PAOSystemPower,#NeuroArt,#CognitiveCanvas,#PersistenceOfProgress,Melting Clocks, Solid Habits: A Dali-Inspired Memory Journey to CoherenceThe Surreal Science of Habit: Forging a Coherent Self with Memory PalacesPainting Your Persistence: Dali, Memory, and the Art of Brain-Heart HarmonyBeyond Time: Using Memory and Metaphors for Radically Good HabitsFrom Dreamscape to Daily Routine: A Coherent Memory Palace for Lasting Change

Buckle up for a wild ride—fictional vehicles included—in this episode of Wise_N_Nerdy! Joe is joined by the dynamic duo of Sarah Rose and Shannon for a jam-packed show that blends imagination, wisdom, and heartwarming nostalgia.The journey begins with the Question of the Week: "If you could have any fictional vehicle for your daily commute, what would it be?" From the time-traveling TARDIS to the flying Magic Carpet from Aladdin, and even Herbie the Love Bug, the hosts dive into the whimsical possibilities of upgrading your daily drive.With the roll of the dice, we leap into the "How Do I...?" segment, where our hosts break down how to choose the right pet for your lifestyle. Whether you're a couch potato or an adventurer, there's a furry friend for you—and the trio shares what to consider before bringing home a new companion.Then, it's time for some groan-worthy fun with a Bad Dad Joke—this one's going to the dogs, literally, with a pup suffering from a "fever." (You've been warned.)Next, the dice deliver the "What Are You Nerding Out About?" segment, where passions take the spotlight. Sarah beams about the Tony Awards and the brilliance of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. Shannon unleashes her love for all things horror, especially the mind-bending work of David Lynch. Joe joins in with a sweet story of introducing his kids to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, followed by a thoughtful dive into the political layers of Elantris by Brandon Sanderson.The nerdy dice strike again, sending us into the "Parliament of Papas" segment. This week's parenting dilemma comes from Reddit: A party guest leaves after a dog jumps on him and the host refuses to restrain it. The crew debates pet boundaries, respect, and how to handle awkward social situations— skills required.Finally, things wrap up with "Daddy, Tell Me A Story", where everyone shares beloved pet memories, and Joe pulls out the big guns: tales of growing up with a real-life pet bobcat! The trio also dreams about which fictional pets they'd love to have—think Hedwig, Toothless, and more.Whether you're a pet lover, a fantasy fanatic, or just in need of a laugh, this episode is a feel-good rollercoaster that proves once again: it's good to Find your FAMdom.Wise_N_Nerdy: Where Fatherhood Meets Fandom

Behind every cape, catchphrase, and cartoon lies a labyrinth of legal battles that define who owns our most beloved fictional characters. From courtrooms to corporate boardrooms, the fight for character rights shapes not just entertainment, but billion-dollar empires.Dive deep with us into fascinating cases that reveal the high-stakes world of character ownership. The Pokémon Company's swift takedown of a $40 million bootleg mobile game shows how fiercely major franchises protect their roster of creatures. Meanwhile, Star Wars faces unexpected challengers as actors from deleted scenes demand £190 million for their likenesses appearing in new content – potentially changing how studios use archival footage forever.Explore Disney's $10 billion Moana lawsuit, where an animator claims his unpublished screenplay was appropriated for the hit film, raising profound questions about idea ownership in Hollywood. We also examine what happens when copyright protection expires, as Popeye and Tintin enter the public domain only to be immediately reimagined as horror characters and noir detectives.The emotional battles over El Chavo del Ocho characters demonstrate how performers and creators clash when trying to separate the artist from their iconic role. María Antonieta de las Nieves' landmark victory to perform as La Chilindrina independently stands in stark contrast to Spider-Man's tangled web of rights shared between Sony and Disney in an unprecedented co-licensing arrangement. And who knew that Sherlock Holmes showing emotions could trigger copyright infringement claims?These stories reveal a fundamental truth: in our character-driven entertainment landscape, intellectual property isn't just about legal documents – it's about who controls the soul of our collective imagination.

Raoul Wallenberg: Life and Legacy (Lund UP, 2024) examines important events in the life of the Swedish diplomat, but this is not a traditional biography. Starting from Wallenberg's time in Budapest during 1944–1945, the book analyses how Wallenberg went from being a highly sensitive topic in Swedish politics to becoming a personification of humanitarian effort during the Holocaust, as well as a ‘brand' in Swedish foreign politics. Fictional portrayals of Wallenberg are another essential feature. Looking at the many ways in which his life has been represented in monuments, on opera stages, in a television serial, and in a feature film, it becomes apparent that scholarly historical perspectives have not set the agenda for engagement with Wallenberg. Finally, this study raises a vital issue: how can Wallenberg's memory be kept alive as the distance to those events with which he was so powerfully connected recede into the background?

The Context of White Supremacy welcomes Racist Suspects Mike & Isolda Ott. A duo of White filmmakers, Mike is a veteran of the American Film Institute - where Gus T. just visited for their 38th annual festival, and has made a number of feature length films. Even though the Otts honed their cinematic skills here in North America, Isolda hails from Siberia. Mrs. Ott's place of origin immediately gained import because she suggested that she was ignorant about "american racism" because of her place of birth. Gus pondered if he and his black sisters and brothers can relocate to Russia to escape our problems with the System of White Supremacy. The White folks laughed at this. Anyway, Mrs. Isolda Ott reached out to Gus about their latest project, MCVEIGH, a 90 minute biopic focused on the main White Terrorist perpetrator of the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, where 168 people were killed. We'll ask why the world needed a make-believe account of “Noodle McVeigh's” life and why they chose to fictionalize a sexual tryst with a “hot blond,” played by Ashley Benson, as opposed to highlighting McVeigh's real life sister Jenny, who knew in advance that her brother was concocting weapons of mass destruction. In addition to their inappropriate laughter, ignorance about McVeigh's contemporary Race Soldier Eric Rudolph - who bombed the 1996 Atlanta Olympics one year after the OKC blast, and Mr. Ott's absurd claim that his non-white ex-girlfriend practiced Racism against him because he's White, the filmmakers didn't seem to have a valid reason for making a feature length film about a White mass killer. Unless they're "fanboys" and "fangirls" of McVeigh. Fictional accounts of White killers is an entire genre of literature and film. #TheTurnerDiaries #TheCOWS16Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#
