Robbie Ross steps in for the Mrs. as he and Gerald bring you up to speed on what's going on in the world of pop culture. The guys discuss the opening of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice and preview a possible good opening for this long-awaited sequel. The Playstation 5 is up next and what was perceived as a down year for the PS5 may not be with the big numbers for Black Myth: Wukong and the sparkling reviews of Astro Bot. But things aren't all good for Sony as we recap the demise of the short-lived Concord and why Sony missed the mark on this hero shooter. The video game updates aren't finished with Star Wars Outlaws just released and our Warhammer expert shares thoughts on Warhammer 40k Space Marine 2 and if it can broaden its audience with its Gears of War-like gameplay.

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ https://www.bastabugie.it/it/articoli.php?id=4054OSCAR WILDE DIVENNE CATTOLICO E SI PENTI' PER LA SUA PERVERSIONE OMOSESSUALE«Il cattolicesimo è la religione in cui muoio», così disse il celebre poeta e drammaturgo Oscar Wilde poco prima di morire a Parigi, il 30 novembre 1900. Lo scrittore e saggista esperto del mondo britannico Paolo Gulisano si è concentrato anche sulla conversione di Wilde nel suo libro "Ritratto di Oscar Wilde" (Ancora 2009) in cui ha definito «un mistero non ancora pienamente svelato» la sua complessa personalità, arrivando a descrivere il profondo e autentico sentimento religioso del celebre poeta.Il cammino esistenziale di Oscar Wilde è stato un lungo e difficile itinerario verso il cattolicesimo, una conversione - ha spiegato Gulisano - «di cui nessuno parla, e che fu una scelta meditata a lungo, e a lungo rimandata, anche se - con uno dei paradossi che tanto amava - , Wilde affermò un giorno a chi gli chiedeva se non si stesse avvicinando troppo pericolosamente alla Chiesa Cattolica: "Io non sono un cattolico. Io sono semplicemente un acceso papista". Dietro la battuta c'è la complessità della vita che può essere vista come una lunga e difficile marcia di avvicinamento al Mistero, a Dio». Molte le persone che sono entrate in rapporto con lui e si sono convertite, come Robbie Ross, Aubrey Beardsley, e - ha continuato lo scrittore - «addirittura quel John Gray che gli ispirò la figura di Dorian Gray che diventato cattolico entrò anche in Seminario a Roma e divenne un apprezzatissimo sacerdote in Scozia. Infine, anche il figlio minore di Wilde divenne cattolico». Wilde soleva ripetere: «Il cattolicesimo è la sola religione in cui valga la pena di morire» (R. Ellmann, "Oscar Wilde", Rizzoli, Milano 1991, pag. 669).Wilde è oggi celebrato sopratutto come "icona gay", ma Gulisano ha spiegato che «non può essere definito tout court "gay": aveva amato profondamente sua moglie, dalla quale aveva avuto due figli che aveva sempre amato teneramente e ai quali, da bambini, aveva dedicato alcune tra le più belle fiabe mai scritte, quali "Il Gigante egoista" o "Il Principe Felice". Il processo fu un guaio in cui finì per aver querelato per diffamazione il Marchese di Queensberry, padre del suo amico Bosie, che lo aveva accusato di "atteggiarsi a sodomita". Al processo Wilde si trovò di fronte l'avvocato Carson, che odiava irlandesi e cattolici, e la sua condanna non fu soltanto il risultato dell'omofobia vittoriana». Tuttavia ebbe contemporaneamente diverse relazioni omosessuali, ma verso l'epilogo della sua vita si pentì del suo comportamento. Già nel celebre "De profundis", una lunga lettera all'ex amante Alfred Douglas, scrisse: «Solo nel fango ci incontravamo», gli rinfacciò, e in una confessione autocritica: «ma soprattutto mi rimprovero per la completa depravazione etica a cui ti permisi di trascinarmi» (Ediz. Mondadori, 1988, pag. 17). Tre settimane prima di morire, dichiarò ad un corrispondente del «Daily Chronicle»: «Buona parte della mia perversione morale è dovuta al fatto che mio padre non mi permise di diventare cattolico. L'aspetto artistico della Chiesa e la fragranza dei suoi insegnamenti mi avrebbero guarito dalle mie degenerazioni. Ho intenzione di esservi accolto al più presto» (R. Ellmann, "Oscar Wilde", Rizzoli, Milano 1991, pag. 669).Mentre si trovava in punto di morte, il suo amico Robert Ross condusse presso di lui il reverendo cattolico irlandese Cuthbert Dunne. Wilde rispose con un cenno di volerlo vicino a sé (era impossibilitato a parlare), il sacerdote gli domandò se desiderava convertirsi, e Wilde sollevò la mano. Quindi padre Dunne gli somministrò il battesimo condizionale, lo assolse dai suoi peccati e gli diede l'estrema unzione (R. Ellmann, "Oscar Wilde", Rizzoli, Milano 1991, pag. 670).Nota di BastaBugie: come approfondimento trovate qui sotto due articoli. Il primo è un estratto ricavato dal sito Rai Vaticano. Il secondo, dal titolo "Oscar Wilde, l'inquieto che implorava la pietà di Gesù" è di Francesco Agnoli ed è stato pubblicato su La nuova Bussola Quotidiana. Lo pubblichiamo integralmente.OSCAR WILDE BANDIERA GAY? NON PROPRIO...Recentemente, in un talk show radiofonico, un esponente del movimento gay italiano intervistato sulla storia del movimento omosessuale, citava, tra i tanti personaggi del mondo della cultura, dell'arte e della scienza che hanno avuto chiare tendenze omosessuali anche - e con ragione - Oscar Wilde.Di lui, oltre alle doti di scrittore, saggista e commediografo, il nostro intervistato apprezzava soprattutto il coraggio di non aver nascosto la sua "diversità", specialmente nell'Inghilterra del XIX secolo intrisa di perbenismo vittoriano, nonché la sua intelligenza ed il suo sarcasmo tipici - sottolineava - proprio del mondo omosessuale. Insomma - concludeva - una vera bandiera gay contro i troppi bigottismi, specialmente religiosi, di cui propriola Chiesa cattolica è ancora oggi il maggior fautore.Peccato che questa prolusione dimenticasse un piccolo particolare: la "bandiera" dell'orgoglio gay ebbe non solo un pentimento totale riguardo la propria vita, ma concluse i suoi giorni con la conversione alla tanto "vituperata" fede cattolica, tanto da esalare l'ultimo respiro avendo tra le mani un rosario. [...]Poche settimane prima di morire, intervistato da un giornalista del Daily Chronicle, dichiarava tra l'altro: "Buona parte della mia perversione morale è dovuta al fatto che mio padre non mi permise di diventare cattolico. L'aspetto artistico della Chiesa e la fragranza dei suoi insegnamenti mi avrebbero guarito dalle mie degenerazioni". Concludeva quindi in maniera risoluta: "Ho intenzione di esservi accolto al più presto". (Ediz. Rizzoli, 1991).In un celebre aforisma dichiarava tra l'ironico e il feroce che: "La Chiesa cattolica è per i santi ed i peccatori; per le persone rispettabili va benissimo quella anglicana". Riguardo il peccato e il peccatore, merita di riportare quanto scrive, sempre nel "De Profundis": "Il Credo di Cristo non ammette dubbi e che sia il vero Credo io non ho dubbi. Naturalmente il peccatore deve pentirsi. Ma perché? Semplicemente perché altrimenti sarebbe incapace di capire quanto ha fatto. Il momento della contrizione è il momento dell'iniziazione. Di più: è lo strumento con cui muta il proprio passato". […]Forse, prima di definire Oscar Wilde "bandiera" dell'orgoglio gay, bisognerebbe rivedere con onestà intellettuale anche il significato della conversione proprio a quella religione, la cattolica, definita dagli ambienti gay - e non solo - la più oscurantista e retrograda. Alla luce della vita di Oscar Wilde, ci permettiamo di dire che non è così.Fonte: sito Rai Vaticano, 15/12/2011OSCAR WILDE, L'INQUIETO CHE IMPLORAVA LA PIETÀ DI GESÙIl 30 novembre 1900, a Parigi, moriva Oscar Wilde, l'autore de Il ritratto di Dorian Gray. La sua figura è spesso strumentalizzata e incompresa, nella sua profondità e nel suo dramma. Per questo può essere utile ricordare almeno alcune cose. Oscar Wilde nasce a Dublino il 16 ottobre 1854. Come racconta il biografo Francesco Mei, suo padre, sir William, è un medico affermatissimo, che «cambia più spesso le amanti che non le camicie» (Francesco Mei, Oscar Wilde, Rcs, Milano, 2001). Sua madre, Jane, è «portata a trascurare l'andamento della casa, compresa l'educazione morale dei figli».William e Jane sono una coppia "aperta", con tutte le caratteristiche del caso. Quando Oscar nasce, la madre, «che aspettava ardentemente una bambina», resta delusa. Proietta sul figlio, maschio, i suoi desideri: il piccolo Oscar viene vestito da bambina, «agghindato con trine e pizzi» e patisce tanto le imposizioni della madre, quanto l'assenza del padre. Vari biografi mettono in luce come Wilde abbia interiorizzato una figura negativa di padre, e questo gli abbia impedito di sviluppare appieno la sua virilità e il suo senso di paternità: cercherà sempre, in altre figure maschili, il padre che non ha avuto, e sarà, con la moglie e con i figli, il marito infedele e il padre assente che non aveva apprezzato in suo padre.Presto Wilde si distacca dalla famiglia, andando a studiare in collegio, prima al Trinity College di Dublino, poi ad Oxford. Rimanendo per certi aspetti «un eterno fanciullo», incapace di «maturare, almeno sul piano affettivo». Suo padre non è per lui oggetto di ammirazione, anzi Oscar non approva «lo sfrenato libertinaggio del genitore. E non è escluso che proprio per reazione agli eccessi paterni, egli abbia concepito sin dall'adolescenza una sorta di riluttanza a stabilire rapporti impegnativi con le donne». Si sposerà, amerà sua moglie, ma, un po' come il padre, senza mai riuscire a farlo veramente, alternando i rimorsi e il desiderio di tornare da lei, all'insicurezza e alla mutevolezza, ai rapporti fuggevoli e molteplici con donne, uomini e ragazzini.

In this episode, I chat with Brittany Ross, author of "Dangerous Hope," which she describes as a "love letter to her children and to women everywhere living in survival mode." Brittany says that constantly living in survival mode is not life - and that EVERY woman is worthy of healing and of living in alignment with her soul. If you are someone who has struggled to answer the question, "Who am I?" or has struggled to fit in with the status quo, this book is definitely a must-read.  (From the book "Dangerous Hope"): Brittany Ross, business owner, Doula, holistic wellness advocate, certified yoga guide, and author. She is the CEO and founder of the anti-human trafficking nonprofit, Mission 108, which does advocacy work in the states and runs a safe home in India for girls rescued out of sex trafficking. She is a mother, wife, writer, and constant spiritual seeker. Brittany came into the public eye early on in her life as the wife of Major League Baseball player, Robbie Ross. A voice on motherhood, holistic wellness, and antihuman trafficking. Passionate about empowering women to reclaim their power by healing from within, living fully alive, and stepping into freedom. She and her husband Robbie also moved more than thirty times in a span of ten years because of his professional baseball career. Brittany lives in Kentucky with her husband, Robbie, and two girls Gypsy and River. To learn more about Brittany and purchase "Dangerous Hope" visit:https://www.brittanyannross.com/https://www.instagram.com/britt_ross108/

Terence Davies dramatizes the remarkable life of the World War One poet Siegfried Sassoon, weaving back and forth in time to show how much he and others like him lost because of war. For many modern historians, the First World War, from 1914-18, has a special significance, as the point at which an older version of civilization fell apart. In British thought and memory it sometimes has the character of an unhealed wound. Almost 900 thousand young British soldiers died, about 6% of the adult male population. It was as if the flower of English youth had been cut off. In the writings of the poets who fought in that war we still read passionate urgency. Siegfried Sassoon was one of those poets. His father was of Iraqi Jewish descent, his mother a Christian. He was not of German ancestry; his mother chose the name Siegfried because of her love of the music of Richard Wagner. English director Terence Davies has largely focused in his films on exploring and recovering personal and cultural legacies. In his latest film, Benediction, he tells the story of Siegfried Sassoon, not in a straightforward or linear fashion, but as a weaving back and forth in time, a recapturing of Sassoon's experience that takes into account his loves and strengths, but also his mistakes and failures. Incredibly courageous, loved and trusted by the men who served with him, Sassoon, played beautifully as a young man by Jack Lowden, was decorated for bravery and recommended for the Victoria Cross. But when we meet him in the film, he's caused a sensation by publishing an open letter, what he called “a soldier's declaration,” denouncing the conduct of the war and saying he would no longer fight. Instead of being court-martialed he was sent to a psychiatric hospital. In an early scene, he argues with a close friend, the prominent critic Robbie Ross, played by Simon Russell Beale, because Ross had pulled some strings to prevent Sassoon possibly being shot. Sassoon wanted to put his life on the line to oppose the war, but Ross simply wanted his friend to survive. In the hospital, Sassoon meets Wilfred Owen, another poet, and the impact Owen has on his life, both as a poet and as a gay man, is decisive. Wilfred Owen went back to his unit after being pronounced cured by psychiatrists, and he died only a week before the Armistice. The film covers Sassoon's tumultuous life after the war, as a member of the London artistic scene in the 1920s, intercut with scenes of him as an older man, now played by Peter Capaldi, still bitter about the war and about his personal failures, and ultimately turning to the Catholic Church in search of some kind of meaning. In the 1920s, gay life in the London art scene was barely closeted—it was quite evident to anyone who could see, yet no one talked about it publicly. Davies presents us with the sometimes very funny, but also painful, episodes of backbiting and cutting wit on the part of Sassoon and his lovers, including the musician and actor Ivor Novello, with a malicious personality, and the decadent aristocrat Stephen Tennant, self-centered to the point of abuse. Terence Davies is openly gay himself, and here he succeeds in presenting an historical portrait of gay relationships in a specific English time and place, without holding back. Sassoon got married eventually and had a son, but in the scenes with him as an old man, we can sense that there's still an emptiness inside that may never be filled. Why is that? At film's end, in a sequence of almost unbearable poignance, we find out. I cried at the end of Benediction, a film in which personal and historical tragedy embrace.

The Great Product Owner: Curiosity, dedication and Vision, critical skills for great Scrum PO's Great Product Owners play a pivotal role in the success of Scrum teams, they define the Vision, and work to anticipate end user needs. But to achieve that, they - as Robbie puts it - “do all kinds of small things along the way”. In this episode, we discuss how this PO was able to put into practice some specific techniques that helped them define what needed to be done, while keeping a great relationship with the stakeholders, and keeping the trust by the team.  The Bad Product Owner: The many demands on the Scrum Product Owner role The Product Owner is a very demanding role, Robbie describes how this aspect is often misunderstood by people in the role. The demands of the PO role go far beyond the context of the product itself, and include many demands on the human relations and collaboration skills for the Product Owner.  Are you having trouble helping the team work well with their Product Owner? We've put together a course to help you work on the collaboration team-product owner. You can find it at bit.ly/coachyourpo. 18 modules, 8+ hours of modules with tools and techniques that you can use to help teams and PO's collaborate.   About Robbie Ross Robbie is an Agile Practice Manager at Jumar Technology with a passion for working with and empowering teams to foster an Agile environment at scale.

Robbie invites us to consider the Scrum Master engagement as a game of chess. The Scrum Guide provides the rules, but the way you play the game is different every time. You learn from the past, but constantly adapt to what is there at the moment. He suggests we consider “relentless improvement” as the core focus of our reflection practice.  Featured Retrospective Format for the Week: Tips for hosting an Agile Retrospective outdoors As we publish this episode, the heat-wave in the northern hemisphere is subsiding, and it might even be a good idea to visit the great outdoors for that important conversation with the team. Robbie describes for us an Agile Retrospective that happened outside the office, in a park near by. In this episode, we explore why that might be a good idea, and how to prepare for acing the facilitation when the office material is not readily available.  Do you wish you had decades of experience?

Robbie was working with a large organization, and helping a team. But he quickly noticed that there was a wider, systemic impact for the change they were asked to do. When working with the team, he suggested that they consider the stories in a “3 amigos” session before Sprint Planning. When this new practice was adopted, it was clear that a simple change like adopting the “3 amigos session” had had a large impact on the team, and the surrounding environment. Listen in, to learn how the “3 amigos” session can help your team collaborate, and define better stories. Learn more about the 3 amigos meeting from Steve Thomas and the 3 amigos session strategy by George Dinwiddie, who were some of the first to propose the practice in the agile community.   About Robbie Ross Robbie is an Agile Practice Manager at Jumar Technology with a passion for working with and empowering teams to foster an Agile environment at scale.

Very often teams compare themselves to other teams. Even when successful, the comparison is inevitable, and sometimes even pushed/fostered by stakeholders. Robbie shares a story of a team that got stuck in the comparison of velocity with another team. And even if the team was working great, they were still trying to “achieve” the same number of story points that the other team was doing. Even when asked not to focus on the number, the team worked on getting their velocity higher, and higher, but not because they were working better, just because they were assigning more story points to the same work! In this episode, we discuss this and other anti-patterns that emerge when teams start focusing on the velocity, rather than the impact of the work they have ahead.  Featured Book of the Week: Scrum, the art of doing twice the work in half the time by Sutherland In Scrum: The Art of Doing Twice the Work in Half the Time,  by Sutherland Robbie found an inspiring book that helped him find the Scrum Master career.

Robbie was new to the Scrum Master role at this time. As many of us do, he was focusing on the stakeholders, and what they were asking from him, and the team. When an urgent situation came up, he accepted it immediately and canceled all the Sprint ceremonies, to let the team focus on the urgent request that had come up. Quickly, the team went in their own different ways, and Robbie noticed that some team members were working on similar topics, without knowing of each other's work. But there was more to come! Listen in, to learn what anti-patterns are likely to emerge when the team stops with the Scrum ceremonies, and focuses on their own individual work.   About Robbie Ross Robbie is an Agile Practice Manager at Jumar Technology with a passion for working with and empowering teams to foster an Agile environment at scale.

Robbie Ross and Pete Yanity look ahead to the weekend in the Southern Conference.

Red Sox reliever Robbie Ross Jr. joins the show to discuss his nickname, his no-swearing lifestyle, catching home runs in the bullpen, and more.

With Super Bowl XLIX in the books, it's officially baseball season. OK, not quite – but the start of Spring Training is just a couple of weeks away. The Red Sox were active last week, as they acquired two former Rangers relievers. Alex provides some insight on what Robbie Ross and Alexi Ogando could be capable of this season. Though the Red Sox appear intent on entering Spring Training with a potential hole at the top of their rotation, the other clubs in the AL East have weak points as well. This is not the division that it once was. In the "Around the League" segment, Alex talks about how surprised he is that James Shields is still on the free agent market. Alex also looks to dispel the notion that Bud Selig stood up to many owners during his time as MLB Commissioner. Follow Alex on Twitter, @AlexReimer1.
