Jamie is joined by Indica Dominant (@DominantIndica) a.k.a. Olive, adult performer/sex worker and co-host of the Dysphoria podcast, to discuss director Sean Baker's anti-Cinderella story Anora (2024), which just won the Oscar for Best Picture.

Disney, Fox, and WBD's roles in the multi-channel bundle are a “gilded cage” that contributed to a judge issuing a preliminary injunction barring Venu Sports' launch. What's next?

Elysia is joined by professional animator Hjalti and Sith aficionado Marcin to talk through 3 episodes of the global animated anthology series Star Wars: Visions that – if they were Canon – would be set in the Old Republic, starting in the height of the Jedi-Sith Civil War, and ending after the Rule of Two.All from season 2, in chronological order: episode 5 – "Journey to the Dark Head," episode 1 – "Sith," and episode 2 – "Screecher's Reach." We talk about the unique art styles, the Sith (and Star Wars) philosophies being explored, and cool new uses of the Force that we hope make it to Canon, shouting out design and other Easter eggs along the way.Recorded July 14, 2024The Star Wars Canon Timeline Podcast past and future episode listSign up for the The Canon Padawan Supercast for earlier access to episodes and other perksUpcoming episodes:–The Acolyte S1 finale + final mailbag–Canon myths of the Old Republic: • Stories included from Star Wars Myths & Fables: "Vengeful Waves" & "Gaze of Stone" • Stories included from Star Wars: Dark Legends: "The Gilded Cage," "A Life Immortal," "Blood Moon," & "The Sleep of Ages" (Target edition)–Star Wars: Visions S1-e7 & S2-e9 – Shadows of the Sith in the High Republic (Legends)–The High Republic books – phase 2 (c. 382 BBY)–Era IV overview: the path to the prequels; character origin storiesEmail us: SWTimelinePodcast@gmail.comFind Elysia on Twitter: @elysiacbAnd Hjalti: @hjaltiJoin the discussion on the Lorehounds Discord: https://discord.gg/8CeM9crUMusic: “The Force Theme” by Joanna HaltmanProduced by Elysia BrennerPublished by The LorehoundsSee all podcasts at thelorehounds.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Since the mid-2000s, the Chinese state has increasingly shifted away from labor-intensive, export-oriented manufacturing to a process of socioeconomic development centered on science and technology. In The Gilded Cage: Technology, Development, and State Capitalism in China (Princeton University Press, 2023) Ya-Wen Lei traces the contours of this techno-developmental regime and its resulting form of techno-state capitalism, telling the stories of those whose lives have been transformed—for better and worse—by China's rapid rise to economic and technological dominance.  Drawing on groundbreaking fieldwork and a wealth of in-depth interviews with managers, business owners, workers, software engineers, and local government officials, Lei describes the vastly unequal values assigned to economic sectors deemed “high-end” versus “low-end,” and the massive expansion of technical and legal instruments used to measure and control workers and capital. She shows how China's rise has been uniquely shaped by its time-compressed development, the complex relationship between the nation's authoritarian state and its increasingly powerful but unruly tech companies, and an ideology that fuses nationalism with high modernism, technological fetishism, and meritocracy. Some have compared China's extraordinary transformation to America's Gilded Age. This provocative book reveals how it is more like a gilded cage, one in which the Chinese state and tech capital are producing rising inequality and new forms of social exclusion. Ya-Wen Lei is professor of sociology at Harvard University, where she is affiliated with the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies and the Weatherhead Center for International Affairs.

It's a week of prison worlds, revenge, and sexiness this week! Steroline gets a dose of enemies to lovers, along with another lovely Caroline singing performance, Molotov cocktails, and Stefan working hard to drag Caroline right down to his level. But his level is sexy, so we are ok with it. Alaric and Enzo attempt to slow them down, but Alaric gets busy standing on Enzo's neck. Enzo reacts by changing his Sarah Salvatore approach (mostly giving up). Meanwhile, Elena, Damon, Bonnie, and Kai head into the 1903 prison world. Elena and Damon bond with Damon's mom, who is more of a family person than they knew. Bonnie takes her chance to backstab Kai right back, but also has a complicated gift for Damon. With Lily out and Kai in, drama is afoot in both 1903 and the present. Remember to rate, review, and share, brothers!

The magical and exciting sequel to The Prison Healer from Australia's #1 YA author Lynette Noni. Kiva Meridan is a survivor. She survived not only Zalindov prison, but also the deadly Trial by Ordeal. Now Kiva's purpose goes beyond survival to vengeance. For the past ten years, her only goal has been to reunite with her family and destroy the people responsible for ruining their lives. But now that she has escaped Zalindov, her mission has become more complicated than ever. As Kiva settles into her new life in the capital, she discovers she wasn't the only one who suffered while she was in Zalindov—her siblings and their beliefs have changed too. Soon it's not just her enemies she's keeping secrets from, but her own family as well. Outside the city walls, tensions are brewing from the rebels, along with whispers of a growing threat from the northern kingdoms. Kiva's allegiances are more important than ever, but she's beginning to question where they truly lie. To survive this time, she'll have to navigate a complicated web of lies before both sides of the battle turn against her and she loses everything.

Eric Maisel once said that ambition is vital, but dangerous—capable of driving people over the edge. That's especially true when you add greed to the equation, and a relentless desire for status. For some, what other people think of them is the only thing that matters. That tiny little inner voice that never felt good enough starts to drown out all the other voices, even the ones who say “I love you.” Nothing's more important than looking like you have more stuff than anybody else. Nothing matters more than having a seat at the table with the “right” sort of people. And if the “wrong” sort try and get in your way, well—things can get dangerous.Sources:The Palm Beach Murder by Marion Collinshttps://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna12009956https://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/fl-xpm-1990-07-15-9002040058-story.htmlhttps://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/fl-xpm-1998-04-29-9804280344-story.htmlhttps://www.ajc.com/news/local/triggerman-socialite-sullivan-murder-released-from-prison/Pwc3DKaD8LzVfzYu5JiNVN/https://www.palmbeachpost.com/article/20150607/NEWS/812063065https://www.e-reading-lib.com/chapter-amp.php/147530/50/the-best-american-crime-writing-2005.htmlhttps://blackthen.com/lita-mcclinton-murdered-white-husband-attempt-reach-social-elite-status/Follow us, campers!Patreon (join to get all episodes ad-free, at least a day early, an extra episode a month, and a free sticker!): https://patreon.com/TrueCrimeCampfireFacebook: True Crime CampfireInstagram: https://gramha.net/profile/truecrimecampfire/19093397079Twitter: @TCCampfire https://twitter.com/TCCampfireEmail: truecrimecampfirepod@gmail.com
