Quote
Anthony Asquith is sometimes claimed as a pacifist, largely on the strength of Tell England (co-directed with Geoffrey Barkas, 1931), though it's no more pacifist than The Cruel Sea. And there's an admirable repudiation of pacifism in his Guns of Darkness (1962), in which two English citizens (David Niven, Leslie Caron) come to see the necessity for armed revolt, by guerrillas, against, not simply a right-wing dictator, but domination by foreign capital. This is a rare example of a British film advocating the overthrow of any status quo, and it takes, in principle, a pro-Castro line.

AMERICE CELESTINO IS LOOKING FOR THEIR OLDER SIBLING!
tw: divorce and parental death
OOC: Mat
Character: Amerie Celestino
Type of Connection: Older Sibling
WC Name: UTP Celestino 
Age Range: 35-40
FC Options: Caio Castro, Marco Pigossi, Caua Reymond
Would you like to be contacted?: Yes please
Triggers: Divorce and Parental death
Connection Description: Their parents got divorced when Amerie was around 6 years old and she moved to Boston with their father. It is UTP if the eldest sibling stayed behind with the mother or came along to Boston with the father. When Amerie turned 18, their mother fell ill. Due to the eldest not being able or wanting to (again UTP) stay behind in Kismet Harbor to take care of their mother, the responsibility landed on Amerie who's always been too kind to say no, ultimately putting her life and plans on hold. As a result, the relationship with her oldest sibling is kind of strained to this day and it would be fun to explore whether or not the relationship can be repaired.

Ive seen other people post their ISM ocs so why not add mine into the mix. Jerico Castro Aka The Blaze//The ember.
The weapon for this level is a Fire proof weighted blanket that Desmond uses to hug The Ember which is blaze's inner child
Set in a medieval/dream Core village with Woods, you would follow blaze around, evading the fireballs/Fire breath she throws at you (n trust me. They HURT). The player would need to follow the scorchmarks around and hug The Ember until she calms down and shows to the blaze that desmond is no danger towards them both.
The Blaze: represents my ocs impostor syndrome,anger issues and emotionally bad upbringing she had during their life, which had left her a raging Ball of anger and Fire.
The Ember: represents Jerico's acceptance of her issues and instead of keeping all her anger in, they let it go and move on with their life as a now uni student. Also represents her burnt out gifted kid side who is just so tired and could do with a good hard cry.
->Jerico Castro is genderfluid and Bisexual.
->The Flash and Rainbow seem to have an appreciation If not a crush on Blaze, and during the level you can see rainbow leaving flowers (sunflowers especially) for blaze to find, and you can even hear his lamenting when he realizes that giving a fireball a bunch of flammable flowers was not a good idea.
->this crush of rainbow is strictly reserved for rainbow himself. Desmond sees jerico as a patient ,having an almost mentor relationshipp because he doesnt want her to live what he lived as a fellow burnt out gifted kid.
->While chasing Blaze around youll see her walk to the edge of the forest to meet with Flash and hear them have a little chat, flash scoops her in his hands and since hes made of metal the Fire doesnt hurt him, his spotlight nuzzles the head of Blaze and he sets her back down to then dissapear back into the Woods.
->Her respective greek mythos is mainly a sphynx,though when angered she takes the attributes of an european dragon (wings,horns,tails And sharp teef)
->desmond would start in the cementery(seeing blaze bury her last psicologistp,then up to an art store, a record store where you see a small scene of Lucas and Jerico chatting over music and vinyls, then a mall (where you'd see her hang out with Sorrowful [@theallenshorefangirl oc] and the watcher) and finally end up in Blaze's house.
->Blaze was adopted by two family Friends of her Bio family, Raymond Castro and Eryz Bloom, which you see in her ending hugging her and leaving beautiful sunflowers instead of scorchmarks
->Shes an overworked animation uni student.
->her tape is between Lucas and the final boss, mainly because her arc mirrors Desmond's life when he was her age, its meant to represent desmond healing his past trauma by helping others who went through something similar as he did.
Tape: cw for mentions of someone dying of cancer,shitty family, anger issues and religion.
Desmond: so...what brings you here?
Jerico: anything and everything, ive had a rough life so far. Dont get me wrong! Ive had good and bad,but the bad is really bad (chuckles) but mainly? My last psicologist died of cancer...and I heard you were good so...here I am
Desmond: thats...awful im so sorry for your loss
Jerico: much appreciated, im and was raised catholic so...I Like to think shes up there in the clouds watching over me...but I felt like she was the only one that would stand up against my biological family, they were assholes you know? I could never be enough for them and i--(clenches fists, gets really tense)(sigh, body relaxes) sorry, sorry, I have anger issues and its hard sometimes
Desmond: dont worry, I know how that feels. I have to say that you seem to know yourself a lot
Jerico: wise beyond my years, I had time to look into myself even before I started therapy. I dread change but it comes naturally to my for some reason, im a whole can of worms, Mr.Wales
Desmond: desmond,please. And dont worry,im sure we'll find out just how deep the rabbithole goes, patience and Grace
Jerico: (playfull scoff) patience, people in my life have always told me I need more patience...(blinks a few times) I was thinking out loud,sorry. But I actually quite like that phrase, I think ill start to use it
Desmond: see? Progress already (polite chuckle)
Jerico: (laughs) I think we're going to get along just fine, Desmond.

Saturday Morning Coffee
Good morning from Charlottesville, Virginia! ☕️
Tumblr media
So ends my week of relaxation. In the past I’d start becoming angry about how quickly my time off flew by. Not this week. I made the most of each day with some lazing about thrown in.
I managed to get some time to work on Stream for Mac and do a bunch of things around the house I’d put off for far too long. Today I plan on cleaning up Kim’s car and working on my dumpster bike. But I’m open to change.
Anywho, my coffee is ready. I hope you enjoy the links.
PZ Myers • Free Thoughts Blog
Nikki Haley got asked a straightforward question: “What was the cause of the United States’ Civil War?” She staggers back, stalls for time, and finally coughs up, I think the cause of the Civil War was basically how government was going to run.
This is one of the most pathetic things I’ve ever seen. Everyone, and I mean everyone, knows the Civil War was fought over slavery. So, either Nikki Haley is a racist piece of crap or extremely stupid. I don’t think she’s stupid.
This was the easiest of softball questions you could give a Presidential candidate and she failed miserably, that alone should disqualify her from holding office in any federal, state, or local government.
Of course she’s competing with the biggest asshole of all for the GOP nomination. Good luck with that, Ms. Haley.
Maybe this was part of her audition for the Vice Presidency? Gotta show the Orange Man how racist she really is to get the job. 🤬

Over 15 years ago, GitHub started as a Ruby on Rails application with a single MySQL database. Since then, GitHub has evolved its MySQL architecture to meet the scaling and resiliency needs of the platform—including building for high availability, implementing testing automation, and partitioning the data.
It’s wild to see how big services can become. GitHub — the company that centralized a decentralized version control system — has over 1,200 MySQL databases. That’s a metric crap ton.
It also seems strange given Microsoft has their own SQL Server offering continues to use MySQL, owned by Oracle. 🥴

Michael Cohen, the former personal lawyer and fixer for Donald Trump, used an artificial intelligence program to generate bogus legal citations in his motion for early termination of his supervised release.
The moral of the story is don’t believe everything a LLM gives you. You still need to verify the answer.

Laura Paddison • CNN
Scientists in California shooting nearly 200 lasers at a cylinder holding a fuel capsule the size of a peppercorn have taken another step in the quest for fusion energy, which, if mastered, could provide the world with a near-limitless source of clean power.
Will this pan out? If we’ve ever needed it now is the time. At the rate the climate is changing a team of scientists will emerge from their labs to announce to the world they’ve done it only to find the world on fire.

Alex Castro • The Verge
Earlier this year, Amazon announced plans to start incorporating ads into movies and TV shows streamed from its Prime Video service, and now the company has revealed a specific date when you’ll start seeing them: it’s January 29th.
I’m kind of surprised they don’t just bake this into Amazon Prime pricing.
Brandon Paul • Flo Racing
With over 1,600 total entries on hand for the Tulsa Shootout this week, there is bound to be some NASCAR connections to the biggest Micro Sprint event in the country.
I’m not sure how many folks not into NASCAR would know that drivers often compete in multiple different types of races throughout the year.
Sprint Cars seem to be a real favorite and winning a Golden Driller is still a highly sought after prize. Even for highly talented NASCAR drivers.

JESSE RODRIGUEZ: SAN ANTONIO MEANS EVERYTHING TO ME
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

Published: April 06, 2023
 ‘Bam’ aims to become two-weight World champion against Gonzalez in San Antonio
Jesse Rodriguez believes his hometown crowd will roar him to victory as he bids to become a two-weight World champion when he tackles Cristian Gonzalez for the vacant WBO Flyweight title at the Boeing Center at Tech Port in San Antonio, Texas, live worldwide on DAZN.   Rodriguez (17-0 11 KOs) boxes in his backyard for only the fourth time in his blossoming career, and it’s his second showing in the brand-new arena he lit up in June. ‘Bam’ defended his Super-Flyweight crown against Srisaket Sor Rungvisai on that occasion and was punch-perfect as he stopped the Thai legend in the eighth round, sparking wild celebrations.   The 23 year old came face-to-face with Gonzalez (15-1 5 KOs) at The Alamo in San Antonio to kick-off fight week, and while the #2 ranked Mexican will look to leave it all in the ring in his first World title battle, Rodriguez wants to replicate that magical night against Rungvisai once again.   “Fights in San Antonio are just different for me,” said Rodriguez. “The last one against Rungvisai in San Antonio was electric and exciting, so to get another opportunity to fight for another World title there in front of my fans is amazing.    “San Antonio means everything to me, it’s where I was born and raised, my family and my people are there and whenever I step in the ring, they are with me. I represent San Antonio when I step in the ring, and I am doing this for my city.   “The Rungvisai night was amazing. There was a lot of talk that I was going to get knocked out, that Rungvisai was too much for me, so when I stopped him, it was a moment I will never forget. The emotions were so high, that’s why I just fell to the floor, it was an amazing feeling.   “Gonzalez is ranked #2, he’s tall, he’s lengthy and he likes to move a lot.
