Thom Francis welcomes Ulster County Poet Laureate Mike Jurkovic. Mike was the featured reader, promoting his chapbook Eve's Venom, at Poets Speak Loud on Monday, October 27, 2014. +++++ Poets Speak Loud was a poetry open mic series hosted by Mary Panza that began at The Lark Tavern in January 31, 2005 - the same night that that legendary local poet, environmentalist, activist, and “grandfather of the Albany poetry scene” Tom Nattell passed away. In 2010, a fire destroyed the longtime Albany establishment, forcing the open mic to find a new home. Not long after, Poets Speak Loud rose from the ashes and began its run at McGeary's in downtown Albany until COVID-19 brought the series to its end. Over the years many poets and spoken word artists from the Capital Region, Hudson Valley, and beyond were featured at Poets Speak Loud. On October 27, 2014, poet and writer Mike Jurkovic took the stage. Mike Jurkovic was named 2025 and 2026 Ulster County Poet Laureate. He has published poetry, prose, and music reviews globally with little reportable income. Jurkovic's 5 full-length poetry collections include Buckshot Reckoning (Luchador Press, 2023), mooncussers (Luchador Press, 2022) AmericanMental (Luchador Press, 2020); haiku collections Monet's Bamboo (CAPS Press, 2025), and Blue Fan Whirring (Nirala Press, 2018). He is the president of Calling All Poets reading series, which is celebrating 26 years in the Hudson Valley. You can find his reviews online at All About Jazz and lightwoodpress.com. He hosts NuJazzXcursions every Monday night at 9:00 am on WVKR-91.3FM Vassar College.  Local poet Dan Wilcox posted on his blog about MIke's reading: Mike Jurkovic has been reading around a lot lately, promoting his new chapbook Eve's Venom (Post Traumatic Press, 2014), which I'd already bought, but it is always fun to hear Mike read. He began with some poems not in the book with minimal introduction, because his poems often tell a story, cynically pondering the world around him, such as a poems about being stopped at a traffic light next to “the dwarf Morpheus,” or “Crows Gathering at the Grey Sky,” or “Andy Martin's American Letter.” Then to poems from Eve's Venom, some read without the titles, …the hysterical “Bio-Hazard,” “Yearbook,” … In the past Mike would wander the room performing his poems, tonight he stuck pretty close to the mic, his poems doing the wandering.

  Pourquoi cette grande impressionniste est-elle moins connue que ses amis Monet, Degas ou Renoir ? Certainement parce que Berthe Morisot était une femme. En tout cas, il existe maintenant un lieu qui lui est entièrement dédié, le seul au monde : sa maison de vacances à Bougival. Cette maison proche de Paris, le long de la Seine, a été transformée en un magnifique musée à la scénographie très réussie. J'ai eu la chance de pouvoir la visiter en compagnie de Christine Dezaunay (directrice du développement culturel et touristique du Patrimoine de la ville de Bougival  ) et de Gaël Diot (adjoint au maire pour le patrimoine).  Nos deux invités nous parlent dans ce premier épisode de la scénographie du musée et des choix qui ont été faits pour créer une ambiance "Berthe Morisot".  Cet épisode est peut-être un peu difficile à comprendre sans le texte (B2, C1) car les discours y sont assez rapides et le vocabulaire un peu technique, mais je suis certaine que vous apprécierez de passer ce moment dans la maison d'une grande artiste, avec deux invités passionnés par leur sujet.  learn french, spoken french, french stories, paris stories, authentic french, real french, life in paris, impressionism in french, berthe morisot, french podcast intermediate, bougival, french museum visit, impressionist paris, french listening practice, C1 french, B2 french

Aujourd'hui, on plonge dans l'univers de la peinture avec une question : Claude Monet était-il le plus grand des impressionnistes ? Cette interrogation traverse l'histoire de l'art et continue d'alimenter les débats, car son nom semble aujourd'hui presque indissociable de l'impressionnisme lui-même. Était-il le chef de file naturel de ce mouvement, son inventeur, son moteur, ou bien simplement l'un de ses visages les plus visibles ? Était-il un génie solitaire ou un artiste parmi d'autres dans une aventure collective ? Pour répondre, il faut revenir à son époque, à son parcours, à son œuvre et à ce qu'il a véritablement transformé dans notre manière de regarder le monde. _____ "Briller en société" est un podcast original NRJ, à retrouver sur toutes les plateformes d'écoute et sur le site et l'application NRJ.fr Texte : Daphné Breytenbach Voix et mix : Louis Daubé.

Cet épisode est différent et je suis heureuse qu'il le soit.Il est différent parce que c'est une traversée dans le monde de combattantes et combattants,que la société laisse encore sur le banc de touche. Tout a commencé avec un message de Thierry Maroudin Jasmin.Il me disait organiser un événement dédié à la Handiboxe,avec son association “ LES GANTS DU COEUR”,et qu'à cette occasion, il aurait aimé faire un podcast.Un podcast pour mettre la lumière sur des oubliés.Thierry, c'était un danseur lorsqu'à l'âge de 27 ans, il décide de vivre son rêve de gosse : monter sur un ring et comme Rocky Balboa, devenir boxeur professionnel !On lui dit qu'il est trop vieux, que son genou est abîmé,mais Thierry ne lâche rien et vivra pleinement son rêve pendant plusieurs années.A 33 ans, le pensionnaire du Levallois Sporting Club raccroche les gants avec l'envie furieuse de transmettre."A l'époque, mon sponsor me dit que son fils rêve de faire de la boxe mais que ce ne sera pas possible parce qu'il a une agénésie de la main droite, une malformation. J'ai senti une injustice. Comment c'est pas possible ? Et c'est de là que l'aventure a commencé. J'ai monté l'association Handiboxe en 2007 au Levallois Sporting Club." Et la section handiboxe accueille aujourd'hui une trentaine d'adhérents.Ce nouvel épisode de Combattantes met à l'honneur deux femmes : Sophie Monet et Céline Baillon.Au moment où je les retrouve dans la salle de boxe du Gymnase Marcel Cerdan de Levallois, Sophie s'applique à frapper dans le sac. Sophie a 61 ans, elle est mariée et maman de 3 enfants. C'est à l'âge de 40 ans qu'on lui a diagnostiqué une sclérose en plaques.Un peu plus loin dans la salle, j'aperçois Céline Baillon, soutenant le corps de son fils Hugo pour que lui aussi frappe dans le sac de boxe. Ils parcourent cinquante kilomètres pour venir au club, faute d'alternative plus proche de chez eux. Hugo a 15 ans,la boxe, c'était son rêve.Cette traversée dans le monde de Sophie et Céline est une occasion de questionner la place des personnes en situation de handicap : dans nos rues, au travail, dans le sport, dans nos représentations mentales ou dans nos liens quotidiens ;et la manière dont nous pouvons agir collectivement et concrètement.Belle écoute,et à bientôt pour traverser le monde de nouvelles combattantes !------------------------------------------Avec la partopation de Sadi Diop, coach de Handiboxe.Vous pouvez retrouver sur Instagram :- Les Gants du coeur : https://www.instagram.com/les.gants.du.coeur/- Levallois Sporting Club : https://www.instagram.com/levallois_sporting_club/- Combattantes podcast : instagram.com/combattantes_podcast/Références :- Extrait Musique : OLDELAF - J'veux être musclé- Extrait Musique : ZAHO DE SAGAZAN - Je rêveSi vous souhaitez m'aider à financer le projet Combattantes

EXTRAIT DE LA RENCONTRE A LA GALERNE / MONET AU HAVRE / OLIVIER BOUTEILLER, GERALDINE LEFEBVRE, MICHAEL DEBRIS, PASCAL PERRIN.

In this planetary update, Monet returns to the old podcast space to speak directly to the audience who has followed the gridwork, the override, and the larger map of the planetary shift. This episode explores what is currently unfolding in the collective as distortion becomes louder, more obvious, and more difficult to ignore — not because the old systems are winning, but because they are beginning to lose the unconscious buy-in they once depended on. Monet shares how the tone of coherence is spreading through the collective field and why so many people are beginning to feel repulsed by old systems, performative culture, manipulative leadership, distorted spirituality, consumerism, and relationships or environments that require self-abandonment. But this episode is not just an update on what is happening “out there.” It is also an invitation. The shift has moved into a new phase: one that requires embodied human participation. Coherence is no longer just a concept to be inspired by — it is something we must practice in our homes, relationships, businesses, communities, parenting, leadership, and daily choices. The New Earth is not something that arrives from above. It is built through humans who have returned to themselves. Monet also shares more about the purpose of her new platform and podcast, where the work is becoming more human, practical, and embodied. The new podcast is becoming a landing space for those who are awakening to coherence, feeling repulsed by the old world, and looking for ways to consciously participate in the creation of what comes next. If you have been feeling the pull toward truth, sovereignty, embodiment, and a life that no longer requires you to abandon yourself, this episode will help orient you to where we are now — and why your participation matters. www.monetnoctaris.com Instagram: @monetnoctaris Soul Guidance Sessions: Learn More

Oui, visiter le jardin de Claude Monet et sa maison vaut le détour ! Le jardin est merveilleux et les étangs recouverts de nénuphars évoquent les Nymphéas. Ça fait forcément quelque chose et cet endroit reste en mémoire. C'est un univers à part entière.  Dans cet épisode, je vous raconte notre visite de la maison de Monet avec un couple d'amis italiens. Et puis, au détour d'une fleur, j'ai entendu une conversation. Aller à Giverny, c'est aussi une activité sociale ! On y va pour prendre des poses et discuter sur l'art !  Dans la lettre qui accompagne cet épisode, il y aura : des photos, des repères culturels et des tournures de phrase utiles (on n'y fait pas toujours attention, pourtant ce sont elles qui rendent le français naturel!). www.onethinginafrenchday.com Dans cet épisode, vous entendez le rythme naturel d'un récit parlé. Vous travaillerez aussi l'intonation narrative. Le tout dans un registre courant, celui du français de tous les jours — ni soutenu, ni familier — celui qu'on entend dans la vraie vie, à Paris, au détour d'une conversation dans un jardin.

In this week's episode, I take a look at the movies and streaming shows I watched in Spring 2026, and rate them from least to most favorite. This coupon code will get you 25% off the ebooks in the Dragontiarna series at my Payhip store: DRAGONJUNE The coupon code is valid through June 15, 2026. So if you need a new ebook this summer, we've got you covered! TRANSCRIPT 00:00:00 Introduction and Writing Updates Hello, everyone. Welcome to Episode 305 of The Pulp Writer Show. My name is Jonathan Moeller. Today is May 29th, 2026 and today we'll be discussing my Spring Movie Review Roundup for 2026, where I discuss the movies and streaming shows I watched over the last few months. We will also have Coupon of the Week and a progress update on my current writing, publishing, and audiobook projects. So let's start off with Coupon of the Week. This week's coupon code will get you 25% off the ebooks in the Dragontiarna series at my Payhip store. That coupon code is DRAGONJUNE. And as always, you get the coupon code and the links in the show notes for this episode. This coupon code will be valid through June the 15th, 2026. So if you need a new ebook for this summer, we have got you covered. Now let's move on to my current writing, publishing, and audiobook projects. As I mentioned last week, Dragon-Mage is out and you can get it at Amazon and Kindle Unlimited and it's doing well, so thank you for that. My next main project is Blade of Thieves and as of this recording, I am on chapter 11 of 25, though that'll probably expand in the final draft, which puts me at 56,000 words in. So I'm almost halfway through. I think probably it's going to be the length of Blade of Wraiths or a little longer, but we'll see. I'm hoping to have it out towards the end of June, but depending on how June goes, that might slip till July. Hopefully we can avoid that. I'm also 5,000 words into Cloak of Frost and that will be my main project once Blade of Thieves is done. I'm hoping to have Cloak of Frost out towards the end of July, but depending on how June goes, it might slip to August. For audiobook projects, Blade of Wraiths is still processing at ACX, though I believe as of right now, you can get it at Google Play, Kobo, Spotify, and my own Payhip store. The other stores should be available within a few weeks. As of right now, I don't actually have any current audiobooks in production, though we have some scheduled for the future. Once Blade of Thieves is finally done, Brad Wills will record that for us. Hollis McCarthy is scheduled to record Cloak of Worlds in June, if all goes well. Leanne Woodward will be recording Dragon-Mage sometime in July, if all goes well. So that is where I'm at with my current writing, publishing, and audiobook projects. Hopefully we'll have new things for you to read and listen to before much longer. 00:02:32 Main Topic: Spring 2026 Movie Review Roundup Now without any further ado, let's move on to our main topic, my Spring 2026 Movie Review Roundup. It's time for the Spring 2026 Movie Review Roundup, where I review the movies and streaming shows I watched over the last few months. As always, they're listed from least favorite to most favorite. The grades are wholly subjective and based on nothing more than my own opinions and thoughts. With that disclaimer out of the way, let's go to the movies. First up is Kicking and Screaming, which came out in 2005. This is a family comedy with Will Ferrell and Robert Duvall. Pharrell plays Phil Weston, a mild mannered vitamin store owner and Duvall plays his father, Buck Weston, owner of a successful chain of sports equipment stores. Buck is one of those hyper competitive guys who has to win at everything and Phil has always rolled with it. But when Phil's son is a benchwarmer on the youth soccer team that Buck coaches, Phil's had enough and starts coaching a rival team to get his son into the game and to defeat his father. Along the way, of course, he descends into Will Ferrell style comedic lunacy, but the PG version since this is a PG movie. Mike Ditka was also hilarious as Phil's sidekick and assistant coach. It seemed like an '80s family movie. It was a sort of movie where you could have taken the entire family to the theater in 2005 and everyone would have been at least moderately entertained. Overall Grade: C Next up is the animated Lord of the Rings, which came out in 1978. As I mentioned, this was the animated version of Lord of the Rings from 1978. Extremely ambitious, but I think it's fair to say this landed in ambitious failure territory, but they tried the best they could given the constraints of the technology at the time and the actual available budget. They tried to pack the entirety of the Fellowship of the Ring and the first half of The Two Towers into about two hours and 20 minutes. I'm sorry to say it just didn't work. Like Dune, the Lord of the Rings is one of those books that requires like 10 hours of very expensive filmmaking to pull off properly. That said, I think it is fair to say that this stumbled so that the Peter Jackson live action trilogy could run. Adapting a book (especially a big book) into a movie is a challenge and I don't think this quite got there. Too much was cut out and if you hadn't read the book, you would probably have no idea what was happening or just been confused the entire time. Additionally, the movie relied heavily on rotoscoping and it didn't always quite work. Like the rotoscope Nazgul looked creepy and unsettling, so that worked for them. However, the rotoscoped orcs just looked bad. You know how in live theater stagehands will dress all in black? The orcs kind of looked like that, albeit they're wearing yellow ponchos over their black stagehand outfits, almost like the stagehands were expecting inclement weather backstage. That said, the vocal performances and the music were very good. So an ambitious and admirable failure. As I said, I think the filmmaker's vision exceeded the grasp of their budget and the available technology of the 1970s. Overall Grade: C Next up is Airplane!, which came out in 1980. It was interesting to watch this as a cultural artifact. It had the leisurely pace of an '80s movie, with far more absurdist humor. It was a parody of various airplane disaster movies from the 1970s. It's also interesting that this is remembered as a Leslie Nielsen movie nowadays, though Leslie Nielsen 's character is only a supporting character. For all that he's known for his absurdist humor these days from later movies, Nielsen plays his character stone cold dead straight, which makes him all the funnier, amazingly enough. Some of the jokes in this movie have aged very badly, but it's still worth watching as an interesting and amusing cultural artifact, given how it influenced the entire genre of comedy movies afterwards. There's also the obligatory three seconds of nudity that can get cut on cable TV broadcast. Overall Grade: B- Next up is the Thomas Crown Affair, which came out in 1999. This is an interesting remake of a movie from the 1960s. Pierce Brosnan plays Thomas Crown, a billionaire who has grown bored with his life, so he orchestrates the theft of a priceless Monet painting from the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The heist goes off flawlessly and the museum's insurance company sends out investigator Catherine Banning (played by Renee Russo) to retrieve the painting and avoid a hundred million dollar insurance payout. Banning immediately intuits that Crown is the thief and sets about to find the painting. This investigation is complicated by the fact that Crown and Banning immediately develop a strong attraction and start an affair. It was interesting to watch since neither Crown nor Banning are particularly sympathetic characters. In 2026, the phrase "bored New York billionaire" has much more sinister connotations than it did in 1999 and Banning breaks all kinds of laws and sleeping with her target is not a particularly bright idea. That said, the opening heist was interesting and Crown's final gambit to return the painting was extremely clever and enjoyable to watch. So overall, I like the movie, but there's still way too much nudity. Cable broadcasts are probably like 10 minutes shorter than the actual runtime from cutting it all out. Overall Grade: B- Next up is Whiskey Galore, which came out in 2017 and this is a remake of the original Whiskey Galore from 1949. Honestly, this is exactly the same movie from 1949 that I watched in the Movie Review Roundup for Summer 2025, just updated with modern filmmaking techniques. If the movie makers in the '40s could have done it this way, they would have. Though I would recommend watching the 1949 one first and then the one from 2017. Overall Grade: B Next up is Super Mario Galaxy, which came out in 2026. And I have to admit, it felt a little strange to be the oldest person at the theater watching Super Mario Galaxy, but I've been playing Mario games since before any of these kids were born, so I think I had a right to be there. Anyway, I would say this movie is about 75% as good as the first one. It was a little overpacked and the plot wasn't quite as tight, but it's still fun to watch. The animation was excellent and I enjoyed all the callbacks to the various Mario games and since I haven't actually played all the Mario games (as a reminder, I played no console games of any kind between 1998 and 2019), I'm sure there were quite a few I missed. The plot is that Bowser Jr is coming to rescue his father, Bowser, who's been held captive since the end of the last movie. To power his doomsday weapon, Junior kidnaps Princess Rosalina and Princess Peach goes to rescue her while Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi stay to protect the Mushroom Kingdom. Their separate subplots will end up crossing when Bowser Jr. invades the Mushroom Kingdom to get Bowser. Glen Powell was an excellent choice to voice Fox McCloud. I'd say if you could imagine a movie that the audience would enjoy and the critics would hate, you'd end up with Super Mario Galaxy. Since that appears to be what happened to the tune of $970 million, it appears that metaphor was accurate. Also, to be less glib, "movies you can take your kids to" do serve a valuable social function (in my opinion). Overall Grade: B Next up is the Rise and Fall of Reggie Dinkins, which came out in 2026. This was a comedy with a fun premise. Reggie Dinkins (played by Tracy Morgan) was an elite NFL player who got bounced out of the league for placing bets on himself. Years later, he teams up with an indie filmmaker named Arthur Tobin (played by Daniel Radcliffe), to make a documentary to rehabilitate his image. However, Tobin has his own issues. He has an Oscar, but after the Oscar, he got hired to direct a Marvel movie and cracked under the pressure. He and Reggie have to go on a journey to recover their reputations. I thought this was a pretty funny sitcom. Tracy Morgan is a comedic natural, but Daniel Radcliffe turned out to be an excellent comedic actor as well. He was great in that Weird Al biopic a few years ago and he's very funny in this. Craig Robinson was also great as Jerry Basmati, Reggie's sleazy nemesis. Overall Grade: B+ Next up is The Mandalorian and Grogu, which came out in 2026. I enjoyed this. It was like three pretty good episodes of The Mandalorian show put together. The end result was an adventure movie that kind of reminded me of the best of 1980s fantasy and sci-fi movies with a lot of creature work and a lot of action scenes. For an extended stretch of the movie, Grogu takes over as the primary protagonist, and given that Grogu is a very expensive puppet, that's an impressive feat. The plot picks up from the end of The Mandalorian show. The Mandalorian and his adopted son Grogu are now working for the New Republic, helping to hunt down Imperial warlords. Mando gets assigned to hunt down in a mysterious Imperial warlord named Commander Coin, but the only people who have information on Coin's location are the Twins, a pair of Hutt crime lords and relatives of Jabba the Hutt from Return of the Jedi. The Twins are willing to give up Coin's location if Mando does a job for them, but as Han Solo could have warned Mando, working for the Hutts is not a good idea. I was surprised that the reviews for this movie were as mixed as they were, but I suspect that's a combination of three social factors: Number one, cumulative ill will towards Disney as a corporation, which has done numerous sketchy things in the 2020s. I think something similar happened with Microsoft and Starfield. Number two, the lingering bad aftertaste of the sequel trilogy and number three, the tendency of the hardcore Star Wars fandom to chronically overthink things. Overall Grade: B+ Next up is the animated Hobbit, which came out in 1977. Peter Jackson's Hobbit Trilogy from the 2010 famously stretched The Hobbit across three movies, which really didn't work and added a bunch of epic battle scenes, which was totally off for what was essentially a children's book. The animated 1977 version of The Hobbit, by contrast, went in a different direction, neatly adapting it down to 70 minutes or so, presumably because animation is very expensive. At the time, this got mixed reviews, but looking back nearly 50 years later, I think we can appreciate it more because of the sheer amount of work that goes into hand-drawn animation. Like computer-based animation is unquestionably a lot of work as well, but hand-drawn animation is on something of a higher level in terms of difficulty, in my opinion. That said, I think this adaptation did a better job of compressing the story down than the animated Lord of the Rings movie I mentioned earlier in this episode. There's also a lot of 1970s style folk singing-like a LOT. I suspect J.R.R. Tolkien would have hated every single adaptation ever made of any of his works (with perhaps the exception of the audiobooks), but he would have approved of the number of songs and poetry in this. Though it was amusing that the high elves in this movie sing in a '70s folk music style. It would be humorous if in the Silmarillion, Earnedil the Mariner had finally crossed the Sundering Seas to reach Valinor and appeal the aid of the Valar against Morgoth and his hordes, only to hear '70 style folk music echoing across the shining hills of the Undying Lands. Anyway, it's definitely worth watching this if you like The Hobbit or old style animation. Overall Grade: A- Next up is House of David Season 2, which came out in 2026. I wrestled with what grade to give this because it used a lot of AI for the big battle scene in episode one and as long time readers and listeners know, I do not generally approve of LLM generated slop. Ironically, I think episode one, the big battle sequence with all the AI, was definitely the weakest point of the entire second season. Everything else was better. That said, all the character drama and interactions and acting were really good, which amusingly shows that while LLM stuff can generate blurry scenes of mounted soldiers charging at night, the real human emotion comes from, well, real human emotion. Anyway, this picks right up from the end of Season 1, right after David kills Goliath, which means it takes place during most of the events with the third quarter of the book of 1 Samuel from the Bible. David becomes one of the chief commanders of King Saul, but David is secretly the anointed king of Israel. Saul's deteriorating mental state becomes threatening to David while Saul's children scheme for position (with the exception of Jonathan, who has accepted that God has chosen David as the next king of Israel) and the Philistines prepare for war against Israel. It is interesting how the show alternates between leaning into the Grimdark aspects of life in the late Bronze Age and early Iron Age and avoiding them. Like, constant warfare was a fact of life for a Mesopotamian king around 1000 BC. But the show also shows David as having passionate romantic love for Saul's daughter Michal and in the Bible, David ended up with at least eight wives that we know about (there were likely others) and an unnamed number of concubines. So late Bronze Age/early Iron Age monarchs were not likely to have been in the grips of fervent romantic love. Though based on the Psalms he wrote, David seems to have been a man who definitely was in touch with his emotions and quite possibly he would have passionately loved multiple women at the same time. Anyway, I enjoyed the show. While I am not an expert, I probably have a higher than average level of Old Testament knowledge. So when the show expanded on something from 1 Samuel (such as the role of Doeg, the murderous Edomite shepherd), I could see where they were coming from. Or the subplot where Jonathan falls in love with an Israelite woman since in the Bible, David took care of Jonathan's son, Mephibosheth, logically, Jonathan had a wife at some point. Related to that as Saul continues his descent, in a moment of rage in 1 Samuel, he calls Jonathan "the son of a perverse and rebellious woman" and the show has a subplot explaining how Saul came to see Queen Ahinoam as a "perverse and rebellious woman". So I enjoyed this and will definitely watch Season 3 when it comes along. That said, the opening battle with the AI generated battle scenes is still definitely the weakest part of the series, though. Overall Grade: A- Next up is Maul: Shadow Lord, which came out in 2026. And in my opinion, this was pretty good. I think he could call the plot Sith Noir. Maul, desiring vengeance against the Emperor for all the pain he has endured, has decided to rebuild his criminal syndicate (previously destroyed in the Clone Wars) and use it to bring down the Empire. Meanwhile, Captain Lawson, a detective on a minor world, is trying to rebuild his relationship with his teenage son and keep his career afloat. This becomes tricky when a pair of fugitive Jedi fleeing from the Inquisitors turn up on their world. But in the younger of the two Jedi, Maul sees a potential apprentice for himself, one he could corrupt to the dark side. The animation has improved by quantum leaps and bounds since the days of the Clone War show. The lighting and the shadows are excellent. Maul looks spooky and a little uncanny. The lightsaber fights are quick and fluid. No spoilers, but the final episode is absolutely excellent. I also think one of the best things about the Star Wars animation shows is how Maul's character has evolved from simply the cool swordsmen at the end of The Phantom Menace to a sympathetic yet still evil warrior-philosopher, a tragic figure whose every effort always contains the seeds of its own downfall. Overall Grade: A Next up is Emma, which came out in 2020. This is an excellent adaptation of the Jane Austen's novel. Good performances, good cinematography, and it captures the essence of the novel quite well and it's probably a must for Austen fans to see. I don't really have anything negative to say about it, say that it has the three seconds of unnecessary nudity that can be cut in cable broadcasts. Ironically, and quite amusingly, that three seconds of nudity is quite literally the only thing this movie has in common with Airplane!. Overall Grade: A Next up is No Packers, No Life, which came out in 2025. This was a fun documentary about a group of Japanese Green Bay Packers fans. Obviously, there are fairly large cultural and linguistic divides between the United States and Japan, so American football is not hugely popular in Japan. However, the Green Bay Packers are the only community owned team in the NFL to this day and so they're quite a bit more sympathetic than one that's owned by a faceless billionaire. Anyway, an American businessman goes to Japan and stumbles across a Japanese man wearing a Packers jersey at a bar. From there, he learns of a small club called the Japanese Packers Cheering Team that gathered to watch Packers games. This businessman in question happened to be from Wisconsin, so he befriended the Japanese Packers Cheering Team and invited them to Green Bay for a game. The invitation snowballed and so the entire club and their families arrived to watch the game. Sports fandom really isn't one of my interests, so it's always interesting to look at it from the outside. That said, this was an enjoyable documentary about cross-cultural communication at its best. Overall Grade: A Let's close out this episode with my favorite thing I saw in spring 2026, which was Project Hail Mary, which came out in 2026. This is another "science man solves space problem that saves the day with math and science", type science fiction adventure like The Martian, though some new twists on the formula. Dr. Ryland Grace wakes up alone on a spaceship with all the other crew dead and no memory of how he got there. Gradually, he partially remembers and works out that he is part of Project Hail Mary, a last ditch effort to stop Earth's sun from dimming due to an extremophile organism called the Astrophage. Only one other star in Earth's stellar neighborhood was showing no signs of Astrophage infection, so Grace's ship was sent there on a suicide mission to try and recover some means of defeating the Astrophage. While there, he encounters an alien ship with a sole survivor and he slowly works out how to communicate with the alien, who he dubs Rocky. It turns out Rocky's people sent him there on a mission to solve the Astrophage problem as well and together Grace and Rocky try to work out how to save their respective home worlds. Quite enjoyable and worth seeing. At the time I typed this in March of 2026, it was the highest-grossing movie of 2026 and I think it deserved that, though it did eventually get overtaken by Super Mario Galaxy. Overall Grade: A I suppose that was an eclectic range of movies, wasn't it? Interestingly, I actually saw three of them in theaters: Project Hail Mary, Super Mario Galaxy, and The Mandalorian and Grogu, so I went to the theater three times in three months. I think that's the most I've been to the movie theater in a single year in the entirety of the 2020s. So that is it for this week. Thank you for listening to The Pulp Writer Show.

Mozgalmasan alakul az év a magyar online kereskedelemben: miközben óriási erővel nyomulnak nálunk a lengyel, román és cseh webshopok, az OTP Csoport kedden hivatalosan bejelentette, hogy leáll a három éve indított fizz.hu. Kérdés, ha egy ilyen háttérrel és komoly marketinggel megerősített online piactér sem tud tartósan megkapaszkodni, akkor kinek lehet esélye új belépőként? Közben napokon belül jön az EU-s, 3 eurós vám is a Temu- és AliExpress-rendelések után — vajon ez mennyire rendezi át az erőviszonyokat? Adásunk első felében ezekről beszélgettünk Madar Norberttel, a PwC Magyarország Digital Commerce üzletágának vezetőjével.

A folytatásban Beke Károlyt, a Portfolio makrogazdasági elemzőjét kérdeztük az alapkamatról, amit az MNB változatlanul 6,25%-on tartott kedden, de kiderült az is, hogy már a kamatvágáson is elgondolkodtak a Monetáris Tanács tagjai. Ráadásul Varga Mihály jegybankelnök még a héten találkozik Magyar Péter miniszterelnökkel - kérdés, miről fognak pontosan egyeztetni. Főbb részek: Intro – (00:00) Merre tart a magyar online kiskereskedelem? – (02:15) Az alapkamatról döntött a Monetáris Tanács – (19:29) Kép forrása: Getty ImagesSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Monet ihmiset panostavat viihtyisän pihapiirin luomiseen ja istuttavat keväällä ja kesällä kotipihoilleen erilaisia kasveja. Miten pihapiiristä luodaan samaan aikaan kaunis ja monipuolinen ympäristö, joka houkuttelee myös vieraita alueelle? Eli millaisessa puutarhassa perhoset, pölyttäjähyönteiset, linnut ja nisäkkäät viihtyvät? Perhosbaari -lähetyksessä annetaan vinkkejä, miten kotipihan saa kukoistamaan. Kuinka kasveja ja pihaa hoidetaan, milloin istutetaan, milloin raivataan? Tarvitseeko joka vuosi edes tehdä mitään? Mikko Lagerström, Riku Lumiaro ja Juha Laaksonen vierailevat Raaseporissa Roger Grundströmin pihamaalla. Soita ja kysy pihamaan hoidosta tai kerro pihapiirin luontohavainnoistasi.

Francesco Parisi"Il Simbolismo in Italia"Origini e sviluppi di una nuova estetica 1883-1915Fondazione Magnani Rocca, Mamiano di Traversetolo (Parma)Fino al 28 giugno 2026www.magnanirocca.itBellezza, mistero, ossessione. Una delle più grandi mostre mai dedicate al Simbolismo italiano.Più di 150 opere — dipinti, sculture, incisioni — rivelano al grande pubblico la stagione più visionaria dell'arte italiana tra Otto e Novecento: un capitolo che si sviluppò in dialogo serrato con una tendenza internazionale che muoveva da varie declinazioni del preraffaellismo e da una cultura francese e mitteleuropea che aveva in Gustave Moreau e Arnold Böcklin alcuni dei suoi principali riferimenti. Eppure la via italiana al Simbolismo seppe elaborare una propria fisionomia, riconoscibile nella convergenza tra istanze spirituali e la costante riflessione sul mito e sul paesaggio capace di tenere insieme tradizione e modernità.La natura come organismo vivente, il mito come esperienza perturbante, la figura femminile come presenza ambivalente, il paesaggio come spazio dell'interiorità, il segno grafico come veicolo dell'invisibile: sono i nuclei tematici delle sette sezioni della mostra, concepite per restituire tutta la complessità e l'ampiezza dell'immaginario simbolista italiano.La mostra Il Simbolismo in Italia. Origini e sviluppi di una nuova estetica 1883-1915, curata da Francesco Parisi e Stefano Roffi, compie un'operazione critica necessaria: distingue gli artisti che elaborarono consapevolmente un lessico simbolista da quelli che aderirono occasionalmente a mode iconografiche. Ne emerge la ricostruzione filologica di un linguaggio autonomo, sviluppato in dialogo serrato con le ricerche europee ma dotato di caratteri propri.Tra gli artisti in mostra: Giovanni Segantini, Giuseppe Pellizza da Volpedo, Gaetano Previati, Arnold Böcklin, Edward Burne-Jones, Franz von Stuck, Max Klinger, Domenico Morelli, Giulio Aristide Sartorio, Galileo Chini, Luigi Russolo, Leonardo Bistolfi, Adolfo Wildt, Giulio Bargellini, Adolfo De Carolis, Francesco Paolo Michetti, Plinio Nomellini, Emilio Longoni, Ettore Tito, Carlo Fornara, Duilio Cambellotti, Felice Carena, Alberto Martini, Cesare Saccaggi, Libero Andreotti, Ettore Ximenes, Mario De Maria, Mariano Fortuny.Catalogo e apparato scientifico. Il catalogo della mostra, curato da Francesco Parisi e Stefano Roffi, pubblicato da Dario Cimorelli Editore, costituisce un importante strumento critico sul Simbolismo italiano. Saggi di Alessandro Botta, Niccolò D'Agati, Mario Finazzi, Eugenia Querci, Sergio Rebora, Alessandra Tiddia, oltre ai contributi dei curatori.La Fondazione Magnani-Rocca è una delle più importanti istituzioni artistiche d'Italia. La Villa dei Capolavori, sede della Fondazione a Mamiano di Traversetolo presso Parma, ospita la collezione d'arte di Luigi Magnani: opere di Tiziano, Dürer, Rubens, Goya, Canova, Monet, Renoir, Cézanne, Burri e la più significativa raccolta di lavori di Giorgio Morandi. Immersa nella campagna parmense, la Villa conserva il fascino della dimora di un grande collezionista, con arredi neoclassici e impero, circondata dal Parco Romantico con piante esotiche, alberi monumentali e i celebri pavoni bianchi e colorati, non a caso emblema del movimento simbolista.Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

In this bridge episode, Monet shares the next evolution of the work and officially announces her new platform, The Monet Noctaris Podcast. After years of transmissions, gridwork, cosmic architecture, and planetary updates through The Starseed Awakening Podcast, the work is beginning to land in a more human, embodied, and accessible form. This episode explores the current phase of the crystalline grid, the stabilization of the cosmic architecture, the role of embodied human nodes, and why coherence is the central tone of The Override. Monet also shares a personal update about her oversoul descension, a transmission from Markara, and the deeper meaning of “coming home” as the new platform begins. This is not a departure from the cosmic work. It is the embodiment of it. The architecture has not disappeared. It has landed. Listeners are invited to follow Monet into this next chapter, where the focus shifts from tracking the grid to living the signal: through voice, truth, sovereignty, creativity, relationships, healing, and the return to self. This podcast will remain live as a signal to those entering this work through the cosmic side of things and may be updated as future shifts occur.

Patrick opens with a story about art critics mistaking Monet for AI slop, sparking questions about authenticity in a tech-soaked world. He follows twisted threads connecting digital surveillance in China to new digital IDs in the UK, then tosses in stories of hysterical climate predictions, AI anxieties, and the social decay linked to endless scrolling. Children and families become the focus as Patrick unpacks warnings from experts, connecting smartphones, plummeting fertility, and a relentless tide of content that threatens innocence. What happens when you post a real Monet and say it’s AI? The comments are amazing. - https://x.com/SHL0MS/status/2054280631807316329 (00:42) Audio: 2016.

In episode 68 of Fast Hours, Drew and Rory return from a two-week hiatus to prove that yes, the AI news cycle did continue without their permission. Rude.They dig into Freepik changing its name to Magnific, why enterprise AI image tools are starting to feel more like creative operating systems, and how brands may be better off using approved model aggregators instead of building weird internal Franken-tools that immediately become outdated.Then things get nerdier. Obviously.Rory breaks down how he's using Codex, GPT-Image-2, Claude Code, MCPs, Higgsfield, Seedance, and visual style reference sheets to create repeatable image systems, character references, and bulk creative workflows without living inside a giant text prompt forever. Drew pushes into where Midjourney V8.1 still dominates, especially photorealistic faces, color, texture, and images that do not look like corporate stock photography that lost the will to live.They also talk about Midjourney's upcoming 8.2, 8.3, V9 roadmap, edit model ambiguity, personalization drift, Luma Uni comparisons, Pinterest's internal AI image model, Salesforce going headless, and why AI video audio still sounds like it was recorded inside a cursed podcast booth.And because no episode is complete without accidentally getting philosophical, they close with the viral Claude Monet AI social experiment, the weird bias people bring to AI-generated images, and why “how it was made” keeps hijacking whether people can actually see what's in front of them.Basically, it's an episode about the future of AI creative tools, with two guys trying to sound calm while the ground turns into soup beneath them.--⏱️ Fast Hour00:00 Cold open01:12 AI news fatigue is real01:44 Claude Code runs the day now03:11 Remote work and coffee shop crimes08:21 3 Ninjas nostalgia break10:09 Freepik becomes Magnific11:47 Why Magnific works for enterprise13:00 Model aggregators vs internal tools18:01 Pinterest builds its own AI image model22:11 Salesforce goes "headless"24:08 Higgsfield, MCPs, and Meta ads29:51 Codex for GPT-Image-2 workflows32:45 Pulling style from video frames34:05 Building visual style reference sheets37:36 Codex and textured illustration systems39:34 The evolution beyond text prompts41:50 Seedance storyboards and visual prompts43:01 Reference images as reusable seeds44:51 AI video still has an audio problem46:13 Audio reference hacks in Dreamina50:52 Omni-reference for video control52:37 Midjourney V8.1 updated take53:28 The blue and pink problem returns55:37 Midjourney still owns realistic faces58:56 Reworking old prompts with Describe01:01:10 Luma Uni vs Midjourney color01:02:11 Midjourney 8.2, 8.3, and V901:03:46 Midjourney edit model questions01:07:13 Midjourney plus Seedance films01:09:03 Midjourney's strange lane01:12:28 The Monet AI social experiment01:15:13 Why people over-detect AI01:20:09 AI backlash and disclosure debates01:22:50 AI as a career unlock01:24:30 Keep making weird stuff01:25:45 Wrap-up and seamstress CTA

AI, at least at this point, can't replace human creativity.

In this episode of Reading With Your Kids, Jed welcomes two picture book creators who celebrate children's creativity, curiosity, and the beauty of our differences. First, Jed chats with Jean Huxtable Hamerski, author of Marley's Masterpiece. Inspired by her art‑loving granddaughter and a great‑nephew who once painted the house during nap time, Jean's story follows Marley, a young artist who can't stop thinking about Monet's towering water lily paintings. After visiting a museum, Marley decides to create her own "masterpiece" on the walls, hallways, bathroom, and coffee table at home. Instead of punishing her, Marley's parents teach her about canvases, studios, and famous painters, then work together as a family to clean up—and ultimately give Marley her own "studio" space in the garage. Jean and Jed talk about supportive parenting, not punishing kids for not knowing better, and nurturing children's "innate interests," whether it's art, pumpkins, soccer, or "naturey" adventures. Then Jed is joined by Andrew Ginsburg, stand‑up comedian, personal trainer, and author of The Colors of My Sky. Andrew's book follows Lester, a blue butterfly whose mother insists he only play with other blue butterflies. Through a powerful, kid‑friendly metaphor, Lester shows his mom that the sky isn't just blue—it's gray, pink, orange, and more—inviting a conversation about racism, exclusion, and embracing difference. Andrew and Jed explore helping kids pivot through life's changes, the joy of reading aloud, and why Andrew chose bedtime "book parties" with his kids over late‑night comedy clubs. This episode is full of heartfelt stories, practical parenting wisdom, and rich read‑aloud opportunities for families and educators alike.

We have experienced Paris through the words of Hemingway and Balzac, the colors of Chagall and Delaunay, the wild adventures of Henry Miller, the recipes of Julia Child, the stars of Michelin, and the curated lists of Fodor's, Frommer's, and Lonely Planet. Yet, few have explored Paris through the unique perspective of the “Exposition Universelle”—the World's Fair, or World Expo.Paris is a living archive of seven Universal Expositions held between 1855 and 1937. These grand events left an indelible mark on the city, creating an urban diary of monumental achievements: the Eiffel Tower, of course, but also the Musée d'Orsay, the Grand Palais, and the Petit Palais.“Nobody Sits Like the French” uncovers these stories and many more. Blending travel guide and history, the book reveals a Paris invisible to most—a city where every glass of Burgundy, every sip from Baccarat crystal, every Monet or Gauguin admired, and even the modern marvel of a working sewer system, can be traced back to the legacy of a World Expo. https://www.charlespappas.world/buy-the-world-expo-bookhttp://www.yourlotandparcel.org

Tashi Dekyid Monet is a Tibetan scholar, writer, and translator who grew up in the Eastern Tibetan Highlands in the rhythms of nomadic and agricultural life, where time is measured by light and shadow, where songs carry cosmological wisdom and where knowing the face of the land means being woven into a web of reciprocal relationships with all four realms of beings. Through explorations of oral tradition, sacred geography, spiritual songs, and the concept of tendrel, or auspicious connection, Tashi offers insights into ways of knowing that nurture belonging, protect sacred knowledge, and recognize land itself as a teacher.

In Scotland, from 1940 to 1963, the artist Joan Eardley produced a cache of monumental seascapes, landscapes, and poignant portraits. When she died aged 42 of breast cancer, people were still trying to categorise her work - part abstract expressionist, part Scottish colourist, part social realist, part kitchen sink (one of her first solo exhibitions was in a cinema). She worked with oil and pastels, but also used collage and plaster on her canvas, as well as gravel and sand and bits of plants (one gallerist scraped these bits off, confused.) She even used graffiti in her portraits of children living in tenements in Glasgow, decades before it became fashionable. A new exhibition at the National Galleries of Scotland hangs Joan's work alongside some of the most cherished and valuable paintings in their collection, including works by Monet and Constable. Curator Kerry Gledhill talks to Antonia Quirke about looking for 'synergies' between the works she has chosen to exhibit, and about Joan's short, passionate, productive life and working practice.
