【聊了什么The What】 从2006年到2026年,当《Runway》杂志也成了泰坦尼克号上的浮木,只手遮天的Miranda也成了棋盘上的棋子。本期节目,我们邀请了《去现场》的杨一和《美轮美换》的小华,一同拆解这部充满争议的续集。 为什么电影中对媒体危机的“迪士尼化”描述让新闻从业者边看边气?从纸媒时代的百万富翁,到AI时代统治世界的万亿科技巨富,权力的游戏规则已然彻底改变。我们深度探讨了贝索斯式新贵对美的践踏,也聊了聊刘玉玲角色背后所投射的“好资本家”幻象。当人类的艺术被AI的线性代数取代,我们是否还能在废墟上守住最后一点品味? From 2006 to 2026, as Runway magazine becomes a piece of driftwood on the Titanic, and the all-powerful Miranda becomes just another piece on the chessboard. This episode, we invited Yang Yi from 去现场 and Xiaohua from American Roulette to dissect this controversial sequel together. Why does the film's "Disneyfied" portrayal of the media crisis have journalists fuming while they watch? From the millionaires of the print era to the trillionaire tech titans dominating the AI age, the rules of the power game have fundamentally changed. We take a deep dive into how Bezos-style nouveaux riches trample over beauty, and discuss the illusion of the "good capitalist" projected through Lucy Liu's character. When human artistry is replaced by AI's linear algebra, can we still hold onto the last shred of taste amid the ruins? 【时间轴 The When】 01:16 - 剧情速递:二十年后的职场变迁 03:05 - “迪士尼式”的媒体行业的危机 15:12 - 米兰达的突破性:从“天才恶人”到对抗时代的守门人 21:51 - 新老钱的对抗:贝佐斯式对时尚与文化合法性的入侵 42:40 - 催泪瞬间:老牌艺术家的精湛演技与Lady Gaga的配乐 52:46 - 角色弧光:艾米莉从“ visionary”到“vendor”的转变 54:00 - 刘玉玲角色的原型解析:麦肯齐·斯科特与“好亿万富豪”想象 63:04 - 亚裔助理“书呆子”形象与好莱坞刻板印象辩论 78:52 - 图像叙事和电影叙事可以讲述两个完全不同的权力故事 01:16 - Plot recap: workplace transformations twenty years on 03:05 - The Disneyfied portrayal of the media industry's crisis 15:12 - Miranda's breakthrough: from "brilliant villain" to gatekeeper fighting against the times 21:51 - Old money vs. new money: the Bezos-style invasion of fashion and cultural legitimacy 42:40 - Tearjerker moments: veteran actors' masterful performances and Lady Gaga's score 52:46 - Character arc: Emily's transformation from "visionary" to "vendor" 54:00 - Decoding Lucy Liu's character: the McKenzie Scott archetype and the fantasy of the "good billionaire" 63:04 - The Asian assistant "nerd" stereotype and the Hollywood typecasting debate 78:52 - Visual storytelling and cinematic narrative can tell two completely different stories about power 【拓展链接 The Links】 Watch: A Conversation With Anna Wintour and Her U.S. Vogue Successor, Chloe Malle Anna Wintour in Conversation with David Remnick Lauren Sánchez and Jeff Bezos Are Married!

Mark 7:24-30: The only way we can come to Christ is humbly, like a dog scavaging for crumbs.
Brendan O’Brien of Tralee Tidy Towns joined Treasa on the line to discuss growing concerns about littering caused by people scavenging in bins for Re-Turn bottles and cans. It seems, at this stage, the problem is an issue in most towns in the country.
Treasa spoke with Noel Crowley of Kenmare Tidy Towns about a rise in bin scavenging, after the CEO of Dublin City Council said it was a problem resulting from the Deposit Return Scheme (DRS).
The bottle Re-turn scheme has kick-started a craze of “bin scavenging” across Dublin leaving the city like a bomb site according to Richard Shakespeare, the chief executive of Dublin City Council. For more on this Anton was joined on the show by Nial Ring Ind Councillor for Dublin North Inner City.

Rivka and Frank are joined by attorney and legal organizer Don to talk about the 1981 cult classic Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior. The three compare the political formations and ideologies inherent to both the communists of proto-Gastown and the violent raiders of Lord Humungus' gang. They also unpack the nature of the film's unreliable narrator, whether Max is even a good guy (a former cop?!), and if aesthetic expression is a fundamental component of post-apocalyptic survival. MVC will be taking a break for May but will return with new episodes in June!

Payson stops by XCO National Champion Bjorn Riley's apartment in Girona to hear about his training camp in South Africa with his new team, the one and only Scott-SRAM. They also discuss the part of winning a race that people don't often talk about: the terrifying moment when you decide to throw caution to the wind and just go for it. Then, Bjorn pulls out some of the artifacts he's found in abandoned buildings on rides in the Spanish countryside and recounts his experience of getting bitten by Europe's only deadly snake species while on a training ride last year and needing to get airlifted to a hospital.

This week, we're examining Ezekiel 32, the final chapter of eight in his Oracles Against the Nations. This chapter also concludes the series of seven oracles against Egypt. It consists of lamentations for Pharaoh and the Egyptian forces, symbolically depicting their defeat and descent into Sheol.The sixth oracle against Egypt came to Ezekiel on March 3, 585 BCE, two years after the previous oracle and two months after news of Jerusalem's fall reached the exiles (33:21). By this time, new refugees lived among them in Tel Abib, and they were hearing Ezekiel's prophecies for the first time. All hope of Egyptian intervention was lost.Ezekiel raised a final lament for Pharaoh saying, “You consider yourself a lion among the nations, but you are like a dragon in the seas; you thrash about in your streams, trouble the water with your feet, and foul your streams” (32:2). Ezekiel then returned to his earlier imagery of a crocodile or tannim, a mythical sea monster. Yahweh decreed that he, and a throng of people, would capture the sea monster in a net and hurl it into an open field. Exposed to the elements, the creature would die. Perhaps this was Ezekiel's way of portraying Pharaoh's exile to a foreign land. Scavenging animals and birds would eat from his massive carcass that overlaid the mountains and filled the valleys with his blood (32:3-4).When the creature died, God would darken the skies. He said, “All the shining lights of the heavens I will darken above you and put darkness on your land” (32:7). Darkening the sun, moon, and stars was reminiscent of the Exodus, the last time God confronted the pharaoh by displaying his power over all of nature (Ex. 10:21-24). God also vowed that he would wipe out all of Egypt's livestock (32:13). During the Exodus, the fifth plague God sent on Egypt specifically targeted the animals of Egypt but spared the livestock of the Israelites. According to Ezekiel, so little would survive in Egypt that the Nile River and its channels would have a chance to rest. Without cattle kicking up mud or humans drawing water, the debris would settle, and its streams would run clear as oil (33:14). Support the show

Join me today as I talk all about scavenging vs looting. I recently saw this post on Facebook that said when is it ok to start looting. The poster was speaking about after the SHTF. But the post definitely went over like a lead balloon. There is never a time and place for looting. There is a place for scavenging though. And there is absolutely a difference. The definition of looting is: To steal goods from a place, typically during a war or riot. Scavaging is defined as searching for and collecting (anything usable) from discarded waste. Breaking the windows out and taking something that is clearly not discarded waste is not scavenging. Some of it is grey. I talk about abandoned houses in this episode. I've seen videos and seen them in person. Houses in the middle of the woods that look like people just got up and left and never came back. Time is another factor. If something has been abandoned for 20 years I feel that is scavenging and not looting. The poor people in the affected flood areas right now want to return to their homes and would be looting.

Title: The Echoes of Desolation: A Glimpse into a Post-Apocalyptic World In the aftermath of the cataclysmic event that reshaped the world, the once vibrant tapestry of civilization now lies tattered and torn. The earth, scarred and wounded, bears the indelible marks of a bygone era. The sun, obscured by a perpetual shroud of ash, casts an eerie pallor over the desolate landscape, where the remnants of human ingenuity and folly stand as haunting monuments to a world that once was. In this post-apocalyptic realm, the air is thick with the acrid scent of decay, and the winds carry with them the haunting echoes of a lost civilization. Cities that were once bustling hubs of life now lay in ruins, their towering skyscrapers reduced to skeletal frames, casting long shadows over the desolation below. The remnants of a once-thriving society now serve as a testament to the fragility of human achievement. The survivors, if any, navigate this bleak landscape with a weariness etched into their faces. Their clothing, tattered and threadbare, tells tales of a constant struggle for survival. Scavenging has become a way of life, as the vestiges of the old world are repurposed to eke out an existence in this new, unforgiving reality. Water, once taken for granted, is now a precious commodity. The rivers that once flowed freely are now tainted by the remnants of industrial excess, rendering them undrinkable. The survivors must venture into the unknown, risking encounters with other desperate factions or mutated creatures, in search of the elusive life-giving liquid. The flora and fauna, too, have undergone a grotesque metamorphosis. Mutated by the fallout of the catastrophic event, the once-familiar creatures now roam the landscape as grotesque shadows of their former selves. The forests, once teeming with life, are now twisted and contorted, harboring unseen dangers. In this harsh new reality, the concept of community takes on a new significance. The survivors band together in makeshift settlements, where trust is a rare commodity. The bonds forged in the crucible of adversity are both a source of strength and vulnerability, as alliances are tested and betrayed in the relentless pursuit of survival. Technology, once a beacon of progress, now lies dormant and obsolete. The remnants of advanced machinery are scattered across the landscape like ancient artifacts, a stark reminder of the hubris that led to the downfall of civilization. The survivors, stripped of the comforts of modernity, must rely on primitive skills and ingenuity to navigate the challenges of their harsh environment. Yet, amidst the ruins and desolation, there is a glimmer of hope. The human spirit, resilient and indomitable, persists in the face of overwhelming odds. In the hushed conversations around campfires, in the shared glances of determination, the survivors find a flicker of optimism. It is a testament to the enduring nature of humanity – the refusal to be extinguished, even in the darkest of times. As the sun sets on the post-apocalyptic landscape, casting long shadows over the remnants of a world that once thrived, the survivors press on. In their quest for a new dawn, they carry with them the echoes of desolation, a haunting symphony that serves as a stark reminder of the fragility of the world they once knew.
Hi everyone, this is a special episode of Firebreathing Kittens. I'm the game master for an upcoming session using the rules for Mall Zombies by W.H Arthur. In this episode, I'll share my thoughts after reading the rule book. Hopefully this episode will be a handy guide for how to play for my players, will help me organize myself, and will be useful for you listeners, too, who are looking to play Mall Zombies yourselves. Set up Get a deck of cards, preferable a zombie themed deck for that extra narrative spark Separate the cards into three piles, all of the number cards, the court cards (aka, j, q k), and the two jokers. We now shuffle the number cards together and create 7 face down piles of 3 cards by drawing from this deck. Once we have these 7 face down piles, we turn over the top card in each pile. Each pile should now have 1 faceup card and two face down cards underneath. We've just created our shops for the players to scavenge from. The top card number tells us what the Prompt is for that shop. This is a list of names given in the rules. Such as, Wisdom, Luxury, Power, etc. You can come up with the rest of the name of the shop yourself. If one of the piles has 6 as the top visible card the Prompt indicates it is an Eletrical store, so we could call it, Roberts Bits and Bobs. So we know what type of items might be in that store. (We will go into what our players want later on). We take the remaining cards we didn't draw and shuffle the two jokers into it that pile to create the “main deck”. The players will be drawing from this Main deck during the game when scavenging through the shops. The court cards are shuffled and set aside as the Zombie Deck. We draw from this deck when the players are attacked by the zombies. This completes the set up! Before we go on, let's discuss what our players are looking for during the game. The group first discuss what things the colony needs to survive. (e.g. food, batteries, heating, clothes, medicine, entertainment). Once they have decided on 5 needs this will be the basis for your players to focus on what they are scavenging for. So lets look now at how to scavenge the mall! Scavenging examples During the game the players will be scavenging for supplies by looking through the shops. Mechanically this is by searching through the piles of cards one after another. Example. Rosie, a widowed survivor of the colony has spotted Roberts Bits and Bobs and decides to scavenge through the shop to find some useful tools for the colony. Rosie describes how she would find her husband, Barry in the shop every time they went to the mall together thumbing through the bargain bins looking for a great deal on hammers. It would annoy her at the time, but now it just makes her miss him even more. The more narrative detail the better in this game, encourage your players to really go ham in their descriptions taking as long as they want. The GM now turns over the related pile of cards with the number 6 on and shows the group what they have found with their initial scavenge. The cards turned over now read the following. 6 hearts, 6 of spades, and 10 of spades. So, what are we looking for here? The players are trying to find one of three outcomes related to a poker hand. This being a “three of a kind”, aka 3x3, or 3, 10's, etc. A straight flush, aka, 123 of hearts. If this outcome is reached the players “You find more than what you need. Describe how the item fulfils one of the needs, and how it's better than what you expected.” Or, a Straight or flush, this is 123, in any suit or 3 cards all hearts, spades, etc. If they get this outcome, “You find what you need. Describe how the item fulfils one of the needs.” and lastly, a pair, aka, 2x2's or 2,10s, etc. If this is the outcome, “You find something, but it is either defective or of an inferior quality. Elaborate on the details.” If none of these outcomes happen, they find nothing of use, aka, it doesn't match any of the groups needs for the colony. Push your luck Now, what happens if the first three cards don't give them what they want? Well, they can push their luck and draw from the main deck, (the ones with now jokes, aka zombies in..oooooo). Rosie draws “6 hearts, 6 of spades, and 10 of spades” That's two spades, with is close to a flush, and two 6's which is close to a three of kind. Rosie decides to draw from the main deck and “pushes her luck”. When a player pushes their luck, they must describe what they're doing to do this. e.g. breaking down a locked door, removing rubble from a blocked corridor, etc). Rosie breaks through the employees only door at the back of the shop. The GM draws this card from the main deck and adds it to the pile. It's a 6 of clubs. This gives Rosie 3, 6's and a three of a kind. This means “You find more than what you need. Describe how the item fulfils one of the needs, and how it's better than what you expected”. Rosie describes finding a pile of brand-new tools from saws, hammers, and hand drills, perfect for fixing and building a better shelter for the colony. These cards are not placed back into the main deck once an area has been scavenged, they stay out in their respective shop piles. Zombies! What if Rosie drew a Joker card from the main deck. Well, this is where the brutality of the game comes into play. Rosie draws a Joker and the GM indicates she stumbled into a zombie attack! The gm draws a card from the “zombie deck” aka the deck of court cards and tells Rosie what she is facing. J : You survive by fighting or escaping from the zombies. How did you do it? Q : You are attacked by an infected survivor (an NPC). Tell us whether you noticed their strange behaviours recently. You are dead. K: You are attacked by a swarm of zombies. Tell us how you die. The zombie deck is reshuffled afterwards with the court card being placed back, and the joker is then shuffled back into the main deck. So how can you mitigate these effects? To have a little more sway or edge over the randomness of the decks? Character creation: Creating a character is very simple, each player takes control of a survivor in the zombie apocalypse giving their name, pronouns, and choosing one “special ability”. These special abilities give the players tools to look through the main deck before drawing from it. Careful : Look at the top card of the main deck in secret. You may put it at the bottom of the deck. Daring : Look at the top two cards of the main deck in secret. You may shuffle the deck. Wise : Look at the top three cards of the main deck in secret. You may put them back in any order. Scavenging with Special abilities. Let's now rewind time and figure out how Rosie could have mitigated the zombie attack! Rosie has the ability “wise” which means, Look at the top three cards of the main deck in secret. You may put them back in any order.” She enters Robers bits and bobs, does her description, looks at the cards, “6 hearts, 6 of spades, and 10 of spades”. She can now use her special ability to look at the top three cards of the main deck in secret. She draws three cards in order, Joker, 6 clubs, 8 spades. It's a good thing she checked as she would have drawn a joker. She now puts them back in this order, joker, 8 spades, 6 clubs. So, the next card drawn will be the 6 of clubs. Escaping Once the PCs have found all they need, it is time to leave the mall. Or, if they are dying out too quickly, it's time to escape and take what they can with them. Of the remaining surviving characters, a leader is chosen from them who will be drawing from a new set of cards created by the gm. The leader and push their luck as normal and if a joker is revealed standard zombie attack rules proceed. Three of a kind / Straight Flush : All remaining PCs escape. Describe how the group outsmart the zombie horde. Straight / Flush : One PC sacrifices themselves to allow the others to escape. Narrate their sacrifice. Pair (Only works if you have 1+ remaining PC): The leader can choose a single PC to escape. Describe what happens. (The remaining PCs can find an alternative exit by drawing a new set of three cards.) None of the above: You cannot escape. The ending If the scavenged supplies fulfil all of your needs (with less than half of them defective), and at least one PC is alive. : Your colony thrives. Describe how the living condition improves. If the scavenged supplies fulfil only some of your needs, and at least one PC is alive: Your colony survives. Describe how the colony aces setbacks from the unfulfilled needs. If all PCs are dead: Decide as a group if the scavenged supplies reach back to the colony. If so, apply the above ending that fits. If not, apply the ending below. If you fail to scavenge any items: Your colony collapses. Is there anything left? and epilogues surviving players now describe what happened after in the colony, and dead players can describe their after life as a zombie.

Writer Harper Steele (SNL, Casa de mi Padre, Eurovision) joins to discuss the adventure classic SWISS FAMILY ROBINSON starring John Mills and Dorothy McGuire. Director Ken Annakin helmed Disney's lavish 1960 adaptation of Johann David Wyss's 1812 novel about a family of five shipwrecked on a deserted island. Scavenging the contents of the defunct vessel, the Robinsons manage to build an elaborate tree house and play host to a menagerie of wild animals- but the coziness of their newfound Eden threatens to be corrupted by a looming pirate menace. SWISS FAMILY ROBINSON may have been initally released as an family offering, but its gender dynamics, racial representation and themes of colonization make for a complicated reassessment through a contemporary lens. Listen as we explore the deep roots this film has taken in our own lives, and as we branch out into diversions on Mary Poppins, Freebie and the Bean, dumpster diving, Kurt Russell, living off the grid, and much, much more! SWISS FAMILY ROBINSON is available to stream with subscription to Disney+

It's been many a Moon since Larry first mentioned Analogue's announcement of the Duo, their version of the TurboDuo. Since then, Larry has been collecting a double handful of TG-16 games (and 1 TG-CD game from Kickstarter) with the hopes of playing them on.... The Polymega. You know where that went. This week, Larry talks about Analogue finally doing a pre-order for the Duo and then quickly realizing he needs some more TG-CD games to justify the system.

A conversation with Robin Fleming (Boston College) about how the lives and material circumstances of people in Roman Britain changed when the imperial state and its economy withdrew from the island in the fifth century AD. Among other topics, we talk about food, skills, recycling of materials, and adaptation. The conversation is based on Robin's recent book The Material Fall of Roman Britain, 300-525 AD (University of Pennsylvania Press 2021).

Scavenging isn't easy. There's a reason most scavengers are only part-time carrion-eaters. But vultures are exquisitely adapted for a dedicated lifestyle of finding and feasting on carcasses, and as a result, they've made themselves invaluable members of ecosystems all over the globe. In this episode, we explore vulture evolution, their ancient history, and the adaptations that make them the world's most famous scavengers. In the news: insect wings, trilobite mating, a “small” sauropod, and post-Cretaceous plants.
