Castles Made of Sand
"And so castles made of sand fall in the sea, eventually."
– Jimi Hendrix
For the first time in recorded human history — doesn't it just sound so much more dramatic that way? — the Mets were swept in a four game series by the Florida Marlins in Miami. They have now won just once in their past eight games, and have fallen into last place in the National League East. The Mets have perfected the bad team art of only scoring runs on the days their pitchers let up even more runs, and then not scoring when their pitchers hold down the opposition. Thanks to practice, they've gotten quite good at it.
So the Mets find themselves in the cellar again — earth was really dying, Keith Hernandez revealed himself a David Bowie fan, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria.
The customary thing to say at moments like this is that you are never as bad as you look at your worst, and never as good as you look at your best, (and that Keith has surprisingly good taste in everything. Ziggy Stardust is indeed a great album.) I think even the most panic-ridden of Met supporters know this — that is, the not as bad as you look thing, not the David Bowie thing. Everyone knows that the Mets are not going to play .125 baseball the rest of the way, just like everyone knew the Mets weren't going to play .909 baseball after run at the end of last month. To channel my inner Bill Parcells, "you are what your record says you are", and the Mets look to be about a .500 team, which is what most predictors had them at coming into this season anyway. This present storm has forced them into the cellar, but they're still just two games under .500, a record that would put the Mets in last place in only one other division, the surprisingly strong NL West. Don't believe the rumors of earth's demise — the season isn't quite over yet.
But, all that being said . . . oh boy, this team is a disaster.
– Yesterday's lineup had Alex Cora and his career OPS+ of 74 batting second and Chris Carter, a career minor leaguer with 32 major league plate appearances hitting cleanup. Both of them were batting in front of the team's best hitter, David Wright, who was hitting fifth. Because generally you want your worst hitter hitting second, and your best fifth.
– The previous night's lineup, the everyday group, contained three regulars with on-base percentages below .300, and five regulars with slugging percentages below .400 — and that's not counting the pitcher, John Maine, who is 0-10 with no walks this season, good for a slash line of .000/.000/.000.
– The bench consists of a player-coach who doesn't play so well anymore, an outfielder who doesn't do much of anything anymore, a backup catcher, the animal, and this year's right-handed first baseman/outfielder who the manager pretends doesn't exist.
– The starting rotation currently has a grand total of three pitchers in it. I believe the doctor recommended number has been something closer to five for about thirty years now.
– One of the remaining three pitchers walked the first three batters he saw in his last start on all of twelve pitches, and has pitched his team to an expected winning percentage of .393 in his starts. (According to Baseball Prospectus' underused support neutral win-loss record, SNWL, which factors out bullpen and lineup support from a pitcher's performance.) Two of the team's left-handers have just been eliminated, one by an aggravated hamstring injury and the other by an aggravated case of ineffectiveness.
– The bullpen is second in the majors in ERA, and eighth in strikeouts per nine innings pitched — but they are also seventh in walks allowed. This one is the disaster waiting to happen, the radon in the walls. A low ERA despite the walks is a function of putting a ton of runners on base, but then somehow managing to leave them there. The bullpen easily has the highest percentage of runners left on base in the major leagues — which, unfortunately, is something that tends to even itself out over time. It's sort of like inviting a lot of people over for a dinner party, and then not feeding them anything but minimal appetizers. You can get away with it, but not forever.
– Two of the pitchers in the bullpen, Fernando Nieve and Pedro Feliciano, rank first and second in appearances in the major leagues. So you could say they've been worked quite a bit. That might not entirely be the manager's fault though . . . what? Not entirely, just mostly. After all, his other bullpen options consist of a shaky closer who probably finds a way to walk a few batters before he closes his car door, a banished starter with no stuff or ability to throw strikes, a pitcher younger than any other pitcher in the major leagues by more than a year, someone on loan from a Mexican team named for a hot sauce, and a second-hand Brave that I always forget is on the team.
For all intents and purposes, as presently constructed, the Mets have a four man bullpen, with the other three relievers used by the manager only in garbage time. Thankfully, there has been a lot of garbage time.
– The manager has batted Mike Jacobs, Frank Catalanotto, and Chris Carter cleanup, has used Alex Cora over Luis Castillo far too much, seemingly forgets about certain players, and, as stated above, really only uses half his bullpen. He has justifiably taken to managing as if he might be tarred and feathered after a loss, and will likely be fired unless the Mets make the playoffs, a scenario that seems progressively unlikely. The Mets might as well just throw the word "interim" back in front of his title.
– The defense is still prone to the Wile E. Coyote like innings that were the trademark of the 2009 team. It's almost as if things start to go wrong in an inning, and everyone starts to think that if they throw the ball to the base hard enough, they'll be able to record four outs on the play. I'd like to give the Mets some of my wrinkled shirts, because it looks like they're PRESSING! Zing, or whatever. Take my wife, please! A girl called me and told me to come over, nobody's home. I went over — nobody was home! I'll be here all week . . .
– The general manager is in some sort of shadowy puppet setup. He/they/SPECTRE constructed the roster and are responsible for it.
– The ownership group — who, by the way, assembled this entire cast of characters — is watching attendance plummet in their one-year-old ballpark, but blame it on the weather. Even though the weather was better this season than the last one.
– Jeff Francoeur is making a strong case to be the one left standing alone when "El Esta Aqui" stops playing in the game of outfield musical chairs upon Beltran's limpy return.
– Jason Bay has been infected with a case of "2009 David Wright disease."
It's not all bad news, of course. Just mostly bad news. Mike Pelfrey and his off-speed arsenal have been a revelation. Santana has been Santana outside of two awful innings. David Wright has still been among the top hitters in the NL despite doing a breathtaking impersonation of a fan. Jose Reyes and Jason Bay are bound to figure it out again. Ike Davis has shown far more than anyone could have expected of someone with little experience above AA ball. Angel Pagan, Hisanori Tahakashi, and Pedro Feliciano have been useful role players. The catchers have been fun. And . . . uh . . . they have been the best baserunning team
in all of baseball?
But that's sort of it. There is an impressive amount of dead weight in this organization dragging everything else down. Half the roster is Matt Damon, and the other half is Ben Affleck.
I have no idea what the solution for the organization is. Perhaps a different managerial direction could help, but that also feels like slapping a band-aid on a severed limb. It's the obvious answer, because replacing a manger is easy, cheap, because managers don't make much money compared to the players, and overhauls an entire branch of the organization in one move. But I'm not sure if it does all the much other than appease the fanbase. They could drop the general manager as well, but that feels messier when done in the middle of the season. Maybe they could add another Shake Shack?
I suppose they could cut loose some of the ragged roster ends and bring up a couple of minor leaguers, but I'm not sold that Jason Pridie is going to make an enormous difference — he may be better, but who knows how much. There's not a ton of organizational rotation depth to call up. Clamoring for R.A. Dickey is one of those moves that will look funny in a year, like arguing about Daniel Murphy's merits as a first baseman. Maybe the best idea is to just wait it out this season and hope that all or some of Jose Reyes, Jeff Francoeur, Jason Bay, John Maine, Oliver Perez, Gary Matthews Jr., and Francisco Rodriguez turn it around, or at the very least find out exactly what they have in all of them, so they can blow this whole thing up after the year.
It seems that baseball organizations are all either moving towards becoming more ordered or more chaotic. There are teams with plans, and teams just wrapping everything with duct tape. The Washington Nationals are moving towards order, and the Cubs are moving towards entropy. The Mariners were moving towards order, and then . . . well, I don't know what happened then. The 2010 Rays have one of the best run differentials in baseball history, and most of the lineup isn't hitting. Young pitching, defense, solid drafting, and they're not afraid to cut away the dead weight. They have what is sometimes referred to as a "plan."
I think at this point it's pretty clear the Mets aren't moving towards becoming more ordered. It looks more and more like they're just wrapping things up in duct tape and plugging holes in the Hoover Dam with bubble gum. To many of their castles were made of sand, and things are ugly right now. I don't know what the right answer is for them. I hope they do.

>"dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria"I'm a Phillies fan and I came here to read the whining from the perspective of a Mets fan, but any blog that quotes Ghostbusters is OK by me.

>great post Pat… I especially love the ghostbusters qote…."dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria"… that is classic…

>Well said, Patrick. It seems the team has entered Lima Time, when below average minor leaguers are asked to provide major league quality in a bedraggled rotation. The only real question is rebuild from the top down, or patch with acquired veterans. I say rebuild.
Patrick Flood
>@ Bay SluggaA Phillies fan? I didn't even know you people could read . . . but I guess if you like Ghostbusters you're cool with me. Beerleaguer is a great Phillies blog, by the way.Anyway, can we have Nelson Figeuroa back? Please?
>great post. although it is difficult to succinctly summarize what the problem is with the 2008-2010 NY Mets (there just are too many weaknesses…everywhere), my belief is that the fundamental, foundational problem can easily be identified. It is this: there has existed, based in large part upon the long ago 2006 season, a colossal delusion on the part of management that the "core" – Reyes, Wright, Santana, K-Rod, Beltran and now Bay – is a world series quality-core, on par with Rollins-Utley-Howard-Werth et al, Rodriguez-Texeira-Jeter-Rivera-CC et al., etc. Secondary to that fallacy is the erroneous belief that the Mets current inability to win games is primarily because the roster is (was) littered with retreads like GMJ, Tatis, Catalanotto, Perez, Maine, etc., who are asked to provide big roles, like hitting cleanup(!) Clearly, the lack of supporting talent does not help matters. However, the Mets are currently not 2 games under .500 and maddeningly inconsistent because of their bench, or their manager, or because of bad baserunning. They are what they are because their "stars" – the core – ARE SIMPLY NOT THAT GOOD ANYMORE. Trust me, as a huge Met fan, it pains me to write that, but I can't be in denial anymore.

>This line was a gem:"There is an impressive amount of dead weight in this organization dragging everything else down. Half the roster is Matt Damon, and the other half is Ben Affleck."Well played.
>Everything you mentioned is indicative of ownership that does not have the vision, ability, and or desire to fix the situation. Example being the Mets are assumingly profitable even in their current iteraton. To make them more competitive would have to correlate to more profitable (in the mindset of the current ownership) Doing so would require cutting (and still paying) upwards of 50 million in salary this year alone. Trading the popular and only productive players on the team. Likely finishing with 60 wins, and lowering attendence. While adding 100 million in payroll this offseason. moves like davis, meija, fmart for gonzalezcrawford signed for cf?beltran to right – if his career isnt overcliff lee somehow signed
>Nice post as always! I remember hearing someone say that line about 'not being as bad as you look when at your worst' from the broadcast yesterday and thinking the same thing you said, that this team is in trouble. I wouldn't be surprised if RA Dickey finds some permanent position in the majors for the next few years though, as knucklers often do. Him and Pat Misch are really not bad options
>Oh boy, if you're longing for Nelson Figueroa, you've got problems.

First Lincoln EV may be a Rivian, not a Ford
The 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E was one of the big debuts at the 2019 Los Angeles Auto Show. So with the Blue Oval preparing to launch its first serious EV effort, one might naturally assume that the company's luxury arm, Lincoln, would soon take a crack at an EV using the Mach-E's bones (just as it does with the Escape-based Corsair, the Explorer-based Aviator, and the Expedition-based Navigator).

2020 Olympic Water Marathon

That may be a little presumptive, though, according to Reuters. The news agency reports Lincoln won't take advantage of the Mach-E's existence, and will instead look to startup Rivian and its skateboard chassis to underpin the brand's first all-electric vehicle, a compact SUV (naturally). Ford invested $500 million in Rivian earlier this year, and at the time, made clear that it would use the company's EV chassis in its vehicles. Neither party responded to Reuter's request for comment.
According to the report, the vehicle, codenamed U787, is due in mid-2022, which would indicate a debut at either the 2021 Los Angeles Auto Show or, less likely considering LA's heavy focus on electrification, at the 2022 New York International Auto Show. Following the small crossover's debut, Lincoln will add a mid-size companion in 2023.
Reuters report doesn't give any indication as to what kind of range or performance the unnamed Lincoln EV will have, but Rivian is targeting a maximum range of 670 km in its R1S SUV with a 180-kilowatt-hour battery pack. The smallest battery pack, 105 kWh, will still cover 386 km. With that in mind, any Rivian-based Lincoln EV should be able to cover the substantial distance on a single charge.
Lincoln has spent decades building vehicles on the bones of more mainstream Fords. Its first all-electric vehicle, though, could represent a major shift in thinking for the brand. That alone is reason enough to be excited about the arrival of yet another electric CUV.

This week, there was so much to talk about, we decided to break it into two parts.
On this episode, we continue the conversation about all the crazy stuff going on in the last week.
Current Events, Part 2
So in an attempt to talk about something else, because I just I don't know, Um, that OBI wan finale, it's good ship. Yeah, man, uh. When when he's spoilers, by the way, when he's lifting those rocks and just throwing them at Vader, I think my neighbors probably heard me shout get wrecked. It was so good. Um, it was so fucking it was everything I wanted. You know, vader had the high ground, he could have won, but then he threw the high ground at Obi Wan and then Obi Wan literally had the high ground and then he threw the high ground at vader. Very that's very high ground. Back and forth it was. It is cool. I mean itm ended perfectly, Um, the whole because we talked about this before. Yeah, like fireworks before the world. I don't it's it's felt like an eternity, it really has. I can't believe. I was thinking in my head. I was like wait, Rov versus Wade happened, and then the January six thing and Obi Wan, fuck in the span of a week. It's just wow. Now that like. I fucking loved it. I don't know why some people hated it, but I fucking loved it. Did everything I wanted it to do, knowing that like it had the cheapest like budget of all that and had it had like it had lower, a lower budget than deadpool did head like and they did the best they could with it. Honestly, it was fucking great. The whole lightsaber battle is and then that those final moments when he because first. So if you haven't seen rebels, they do kind of the same thing. When AHSOKA fights vader. It's the other but it's it's different, but it's the same. But I kind of like the one from Obi Wan a bit better because they had more time, because it wasn't it wasn't like a twenty minute cartoon show. It was the whole thing. But I loved how they played with the light because when he's kind of being vulnerable, you see the blue reflecting off of him from Obi Wan's Lightsaber. And then when he goes into I killed Annakin skywalk or I'm going to destroy you, then it's all read again and I thought that was so but even that, that moment where he's like I'm not your failure, it's like I chose this Um my favorite part of that. The dialogue was great, but the voice change Oh, so good, so good, and again like that's one of those it's it's like that fight, that moment and the stuff from the fifth episode, all of that is why you bring Hayden Christians in back. Um, it was so and then the quagon. It was was great. Um, just I was so happy because I was getting scared. I was like, this episode is almost over. That was what was spoiled for me. Oh really, I was on twitter being an idiot. Well, here's I don't really follow anybody, though. That was the weird thing. I was like, did I spoil it for you know, I don't really follow anything that would like made me fall star warship, but somebody posted about it and like how to picture. I was like, but then my head I was like, I'm watching the serious was like maybe that was just because it's at the very end. So like all right, maybe that was something just the things might put up, because I had said before like if he doesn't actually show up, it was gonna be the biggest troll ever, because they kept hinting that it was gonna happen. Um, I liked that the emperor showed up and it was Ian McDermott back to play him. Real quick. For I was like, Oh, that's I didn't really expect to see that, but that was that was cool. And he looked more like Um, like he doesn't return the Jedi. Yeah, because, which is awesome. Yeah, and it was great that that he was back and Um, and just kind of put Vade, put vader in his place a little bit. Just kind of like basically like remember who you served. was just kind of like yes, Dad, give him, give him the backhand. Um, started pulling the belt out like Um, it was yeah, the Liam Neeson thing was quiet on thing was was so great. I love that. We got a hello there. Oh yeah, it was so good. There gave him the...
...toy finally. Also, okay, props to Owen and Baru for being like ready to fucking fight. So I brought up like some I brought up on twitter, which I never thought about, because that's their death is like the most brutal death. Oh it is. Their skeletons are just because they're fucking badasses. They probably took on like a fucking like thirty stormtroopers and they have to give them the worst death ever. You're right, that makes total sense. Total Badasses, and it's Beru Barus, the one who's kind of like okay, we're gonna fight this bitch. He's like no, we're gonna leave, Nah Bitch. She pulls these guns out and he's just like who did I marry? What the fun? We also got to run this cocaine. Yeah, sorry, my only stars isn't working out anymore. Um. Yeah, it was great. It was so good. The boys had the hero Gasm episode. I heard they were almost ran out of semen, fake semen for they also, apparently there was stuff that Amazon made them cut. They were like like there's certain things we just cannot put in, we cannot show. It was I think they should submit it for Emmy Consideration Because, on top of the hero gasm stuff being mind blowingly fucked up, everybody in the show had amazing acting moments. Give Anthony Starr every emmy on the fucking earth. He has a whole, like to three minute scene that's just him. There's a whole to three minute scene that's just him. That like it's again. It's like submit that for a fucking Emmy. The Guy who plays a train, this speaster, has like like there's Jensen echoes has an amazing moment like this. I think. I never thought I'd say this, but submit herogasm for a fucking Emmy because it was so good. Is that? Does it end very end with like him getting away? Homeland are getting away because they all are attacking him at once. Yeah, because it's not the end of the season. No, not the end of season, but they all have soldier boy and yeah, yeah, it's a it's a and Hie and all that. Yeah, like if you think about if you think about the fight from civil war where its cap and and and Um bucky versus Tony, it's very that it's just a big knockdown, drag a fucking fight. But all the hero gasm stuff, like I've been watching all the reaction channels and stuff on Youtube, who have all basically just said this was the hardest episode of our show to edit because we can't show fucking anything from any of that. Like some of them had the clips playing but there was just one big blur over it. So you can't see fucking anything happening because it's just I mean it is an Amazon made him pull some stuff and Amazon because, yeah, because Amazon. Actually, it opens the episode with like a fucking slate that just says anything you see in here. It literally is just kind of like this episode is basically not suitable for anyone. Anything you see depicted in here, like with and even says like with animals, was done with C G I and cost us a lot of money. So just calm down. Basically it was it was basically just a you have been warned. If you watched this at this point, that's on you. Episode. It's an amazing fucking episode. It's so fucking good it has no business being that good. So it's here agasm, but like really good acting. Yeah, no, it's it's it's it's the most fucked up thing on the face of the earth, but it's also just really good. It's just really good. And then they dropped a trailer for if you watched the Harley Quinn animated thing yet, it's really fucking funny. And they dropped trailer for season three and apparently they're doing something in season three akin to hero Gasm, and I'm just kind of like, is everyone just doing superhero orgies now? I mean, I'm here for it, but speaking of orgies, when you watched jacks four point five last night, I was there a four point five. Yeah, because they like they did like a three point five or two point five? Yeah, I don't know. They've done the four point four and the four or five is just on Netflix. So we decided. I decided to watch it because like I still have to watch it and I haven't watched it yet. Well,...
...you saw jack has forever. No Theater Um. Yeah, there's a lot of dicks, which forever. But I was like there's a lot in two and three. There is a lot. There's so many dicks. I haven't the opening sequence is filmed. It's just it's Chris Paniss Dick Dressed as Godzilla. It is like and they told like that's not that's the apparently that's the opening for Um Jackass forever. But they on four point five to go on in the background detail of how they did it and I was like what the you know? I was like what the Hell? Well, they've done that before where they've used the guy's dicks to do like puppet shows and ship yeah, but this is like the opening sequence. Oh, the first thing you see, the first thing you see and like with theatrical like asserted as this idea and they're like, oh, that's funny. But then they started on like growing on it, growing up and growing on it, and if we actually did it. Like I was just like holy can you see if you can pull it up anywhere? Maybe that's a that's a big fat maybe. Um, yeah, no, I just I just haven't gotten around. I watched some other ship over the weekend, but it was all kind of stupid. Um, let's see jackass forever. Um, I haven't seen it forever opening yet. Um, here penis emerges. Jackass forever intro. Let's see what we got. Oh my fucking God, other than newbies. Okay, Oh my God, no, my God, Oh no, why? Oh, why? Oh, I mean that's a lot longer. I was like, okay, I wouldn't point. His balls kept on like falling down. So like Johnny and knock tried to like take his balls and prop him and play because they said it looked like like. I can't remember what they said it look. It was so like to like elbow. I don't know. It's some weird a ship. The balls are ruining the take. The balls were ruining the take. Yeah, I still haven't seen for everybody. I saw the point five. I was like, there's a lot of Dick in this. I heard I heard it with a lot of Dick. Same with Um, that Pam and Tommy thing, that that Sebastians. I heard that. Basically there's like do you just see his Dick a lot, and I'm just like, okay, same with I'll say I'll stay with here. I guess if you see a lot of pain, a lot of pain. This whole season has been very pain heavy, pain heavy, particularly the first episode, but but then like into it is explosive. In the first thing, especially, Chris pineys goes like yeah, it's there's a lot of penis in it's like, and I can relate to this right now, is because, like you, when you're a kid, you just like play with it, do whatever you kind of want. You don't know what it's for. It's like we're doing it as an adult. Nothing sexual or anything, I just we're doing it. It's just it's just a body part. There's literally they do this one thing where they I'm not even kidding you. Oh God, I can't believe this. This had it hurt. Um Ping Pong table right but right next to each other, and so they and it's too like two and playing Ping Pong and basically the ping pong tables held together each one of their dicks. But what they do is they fastened like there's two plexiglass things, one on top of the deck, one on the bottom, on each side, and they fastened it to tighten it all the way down to...
...squish the Dick is close, like it's flattened as much as possible and you're like, why, why are you doing this? Why? Why? Um, I'm so I can pull up the hero Gasm thing here and gas reacts. I just hear a gas in the beginning of just the clip. Oh God, let's put it up. You probably pull it up on Amazon. Probably I'm trying to get logged in my mom's gotta use my mom's Amazon account, so she's got to text me the past go to get in. I know I gotta see the beginning of this. Um, let's see here. Come on, mom, text me. Um, this is part of it. That's probably, probably, probably not going to have the scene I want to show you, but Oh God, on Youtube. That guy probably got pulled immediately. I'm sure did. Um. All right, so this is I'm getting to the party. Oh my God, hell, no invitation. I got your invitation right here. Start Light. I did not even recognize you. Come in, you are more than welcome to party. Party. Yeah, seventieth anniversary of your orgasm. Fuck me, you seem familiar. You're about to get familiar with these hands. If you don't get this motherfucking love saucage away from my Goddamn face, you're not soup. Come with her for the FUN party. Yeah, he's very good at Conling us. Yeah, his tongue is just yeah, he just gobbles that vagina right up. No, love Saucage, Shure, this is good now for me. I like, come on. So. So, what you don't know is in like season two, I think it is, they break into like like a flaba city where they're testing on people with powers, and he's one of the guys that breaks out. He's knocked unconscious in the hallway, but it's Dick has like a fucking mind of its own and it slides under a door. It starts choking out mm and you're sitting there like what is that? And this sudden he just kind of realizes is this a Dick? Jesus, that's the beginning. That's that's not the beginning of that's just where they get to the party. Oh God, how long is the party, like, like how long that part of the episode is? That most of the episode, like like the Hero Orgasm is the backdrop for pretty much the entire episode. And French, e. they're they're the one of the got one of the one of the boys isn't with them on this mission and everyone who's there keeps commenting. Man French, he's always wanted to see this. He's gonna be so bummed he's not here. That's funny. It's so good. Yeah, if you don't care about spoilers, then yeah, you could probably just you can, probably. It's not really a whole lot to get spoiled though. Well, yeah, a couple of things, but if you don't care, I really don't. I'm to the point where I'm like I've caught like literally bitsy pieces, bitty pieces like every season just because, like I just watched on youtubecause it's show I've wanted to watch, but it's like I just watched a scene from it, let's just watch this scene from it, type thing. It's a lot. So I watched the whole, like almost the whole ending fight scene. That the whole ending fight scene be bore like Huey Um Butcher and soldier boy fighting homelander, like that's at the end of the episode. Yeah, and then like where they haven't held down and ship. Yeah, I watched like the like the last five minutes of that already. Okay, yeah, that's yeah, that's pretty much. There's like one scene, maybe two after that, and then the episode ends. Um, it's it's a really great episode. I said, homelanders scene towards the beginning of the episode is some I mean I can't get over. Like, you know,...
...the thing I can equate it too is you know in Lord of the rings when Gollum's arguing with himself. It's like that, oh ship, but it's incredible. I mean it is unfucking believable. It's so good. Um, I think the boys is probably the best show on streaming right now with this season. This season is so fucking good. He's gotta gotta catch up with so much. You gotta catch them all. Um. Okay, so, Rob Wade, January, say you want can and here orgasm with the funny. I don't know, man, that's some wild ask. Let's talk about let's talk about fireworks. Um, fireworks competition was last week over the weekend. Um, Jeff Fun yeah, Super High. Yeah, you were. Yeah, I've never seen you high before. No, it was weird, man. I just like I was like not nervous. I was like I was almost too amped up our fireworks for the basis. I wanted to get high real fast. I asked why his pen and I hit it three times and then it actually got me more amped up. It was some of that like motivational weach he had probably. I was like, what the fuck, I really don't even know how my set really went that well. I thought you did good. So I was just kind of like I asked my aunt, my uncle. She's like, my uncle like, I think you should have placed top three. Did you placed top three? I was like no, they're like, Oh, I thought you did. I thought you I was a little shocked you did and I thought you killed it. I think I just I from what I remember, I thought I did well. I thought so too. Um, I thought I had a good shot, but I knew the one guy was going to pass. Um, the one because he did very relatable jokes at the like the beginning of the show. I can't think of his name, the Dad Bod guy. Yeah, he was good. He was very good, but like the beginning of his beginning of set was okay, wasn't that great, but you ended well. But they're all very relatable. So I was like they're gonna like him. I was like cool, you knew Chris was gonna. Oh, as soon as he did set, I was like, Oh, fun, yeah, this is getting through. Um. Who else got through? Andy Franton? I'm pretty sure Andy would have won. Um, I think he he posted something on Facebook, belt six, he said, then the number six, and then like six, and so I don't mean what he puted and I'm pretty sure he want. I haven't messaged about it yet, because who did win? Um, Alex Er Nandez, Alex tr Nandez one. Um was he on? Was He on my night? Was He at my show? I have no idea. Think he was at my show. What did let's see here. Six twenty will haunt me for a long time. You Got Lucky Heroes. What you can't go over? Oh, like six minutes twenty seconds. Okay, I wasn't. I didn't get what you meant by six, like I thought you meant like the date six, because we're in June. Okay, yeah, and I want to mess him about like rub not rub it in, but like because I know three people who have lost because of because they dcute. Yeah, well, because that was, um, I won't say who, but somebody was bitching that someone got through on my round who went over. But what I told him was they don't get d cute for going over, they just lose points. And this person also brought like thirty people. Was this person great? Yes, but the thing is that the D Q doesn't happen to the finals. Um, I know three people have been D qt. If if it happened to Andy, which I think it did, Um, I know three people got dcute. So I was actually, honestly, I was kind of happy I didn't go to the finals. I just really want to spend with my family. I was gonna, I was gonna, I was gonna try to go to everything but and to work. And I stayed for both show. I stayed for because I did. I was the early show on Friday. I stayed for the late show because I knew you were gonna be on that when you want to Livy, were gonna be on that one, Um, and I was. I was dead to the world and next morning because we didn't get done until I had to...
...be at working, you know, five. So Saturday I was like, okay, well, maybe I'll just skip the Saturday shows. Got I did want to go because the new jeff was going up, but I was like, I'm too freaking tired, so I'll go to the finals. Sunday. I got busy and I just was like I'm just I don't, I don't, I just want to go to bed. And so but I saw Wyatt got second and I don't know the girl who got third. Say she's I haven't met her. I haven't seen her in a while. I asked myself. She was funny. I haven't. I've never met her. So she's I haven't seen her and I haven't seen her since last time. I honestly saw her. But exactly what I would make sense. You haven't seen something since the last time you saw them. I blessed my staller. She was funny, but that was like that was before covid Um, so I'm I'm gonna assume she's gotten much better Um. But yeah, yeah, I was just I liked my from what I remember, I liked my set. I remember ending on Penis because you forgot whatever your last joke was. Gonna be sip, but it what. It was funny and people laughed because, you know, I saw a couple of times because the guy who went right before me, Um, Robert Black, he forgot where he was at in his set, but he had it written on his hand and he started looking at his hand for notes and people fucking lost it and he kind of just made it work to his advantage and and played it off and I mean it was really fucking fun. where it is like if I ever forget, like I usually have my jokes open on my phone real fast, like to some stuff. I forget something and then my phone screen was blank. Was My phone off? I was on. I was like, I'm not even gonna Bother and I basically just I was determined to not look at anything. So I was just kind of I was just pulling from the tent that I took to Kuyahoga and I was just going until I got lit, basically, Um. And I mean I watched my video back and I'm just kind of like, yeah, I did really good. Karen, Karen told me how close I was to tying, because there was already a tie for third, and she's like, I won't say how close, I was, but I was. She was like you almost, we almost had a three way type or third oh ship. Um. And because so none of my family was there because they were all out of town from my grandparents anniversary over the weekend. I invited fifteen of my friends. Nobody came. Pieces of ships, like I lied. One friend came, one friend did come, but but butter than that, it's like I invited fifteen of you. Um, if I had been like so far from placing, I wouldn't have cared, but it's like it was like one point. Oh my God, yeah, and I was like, like it was, it was like that close. And I was like, I'm so fucking pistrid. I didn't even didn't even tell me how she she could tell I was because I was like I had a really fucking good set. Um, I had to tape to prove it. MOTHERFUCKER's Um. Yeah, because because the last time I did it, I think I was off by three Oh ship. Yeah, the last thing one. I did it in nineteen and I was three that I was three away from placing. It was. I did. We did have some people come up to me and Andy that thought me and Andy were the same person. Oh really, and so they were like they thought I took Andy took his hat off. Oh, and so, like, I'm also wondering if that like hurt me because there, because they were even like we thought you're the same person. We're like that motherfucker just what? Not? What? I don't know. If I don't know that, I don't I don't know him that well, so I can't really say that's what I was. Like. We're both wearing black shirt, blue, same blue colored jeans, but my shirt was like his had a logo on it, mine didn't, and he had a hat on. I both kind of had the same facial hair structure. So it's kind of like maybe if you're drunk. Yeah, I mean I got...
I got a shipload of compliments after I was done. I mean Jesse was Jesse was fucking beaming when I got off stage because him and Dan, Danny Andrew, because I was home both as I almost didn't want to go up because not not just because of the Roe v Wade ship, for some reason my my nerves and anxiety were just at their fucking the sky high and I was remember sitting at home. It was like six o'clock and I was just like, I really don't know if I even want to put myself through this, and I'm glad I fucking did. I had a blast. I had, you know, a lot of a lot of great feedback and again, it was just it's the fireworks. Is always an amazing fucking time if you love comedy, because everyone's there to fucking laugh pretty much and aside from the occasional dud, pretty much everybody's bringing their a game. So, Um, I was surprised Darrell didn't place because they seemed to really fucking like Jarrell. That's what I'm saying. So here's who I had making it in my round. If it wasn't gonna be me. Um, is my top four people are me, Chris, Darrell or Andy. Period. I was like three of us are going to make it unless somebody sticks out that I don't know, and that one guy stuck out. So I was like, I think, okay, now two of us are gonna make it. WHO'S gonna BE? So I was like all right, like, Andy had to get set cool. I was like, Darrell, how to get set cool. I think I had a good set cool. Yeah, Chris had a good set. Cool. They who the fuck? Like, two of US are going? Who? Like? Who? Who is it going to be? So I don't but not only that, I think it's just kind of memorable. WHO's memorable or who can market themselves them up? You know what I mean? Because I think also the problem is that she doesn't bring people back up afterwards seek remember who they get what you're saying? Yeah, yeah, that's true, because at that point they're just trying to get the headliner ups so they can count votes. So I think that also gets missed. Yeah, so they should make an APP yeah, I mean they used to. Well, she used. They used to do that. They used to bring the person up real fast. Yeah, I don't know why I should. I think it's stopped because of covid honestly. Yeah, well, that and just just trying to kind of move the night along. And you've got you've got two shows to do in one night. That's a lot Um. But yeah, I thought it was from the two shows I went to. I thought this was a damn good year of the competition. Great, and I only have I only have one other year to compare it to. But Um, but I've been to a lot of shows a while. He's a second year Arou'd not making it, but last year I couldn't make it, so I even told people not to vote for me, and still people, they still sucking vote for me. So I was like the British guy who went during my he was so fucking good. I've never seen him before. He fucking it's so good. He was really good again. I can think of two people during mine who had bad sets. Well, one person who had a bad set in, one person who had a not great set. Um. Other than that, everybody on my round did really fucking well. I'm trying to think. I'm trying so or not not not the name names here. I don't want to. Caleb didn't have a good set of mine. He'll say that yeah, he he he. I sent him as I sent him a took pictures of his. He see to message me like you mean he's he was so disappointed, and he did. He was bombed. I was like just keep trying, man Um, remember that? I can't. There was the guy who did really bad in my round. I don't know his name. Anyway, he went up and just I don't know it was. It was almost like a weird monologue, and at first people were kind of giggling because it was really super awkward, and then when they realized like, Oh no, this is just him and he it was kind of luckily I was luckily here was a few between him and me, but get me the buffer. But the guy who, because I think Simon, went up after him. Um, and I mean he brought it back real well, but,...
...um, Simon, basically touring comic. Yeah, because he's from UK, lives in Columbus. Yeah, Columbus. Um, I thought Olivia did. Olivia did real good. Hurt. I love how her table of friends is the ones that are the ones that were pissing off Karen at the beginning. Yeah, the ones who were like coming in late, and that was like her boyfriend and their friends, and she was sitting next to me and she just had her head and her face like, Oh my God, Oh my God, Oh my God, him again. Am I good? Oh him, I got him. What is that front? I can't remember. Um, I don't know, it's sound familiar. Um, where the fuck is it? But no, it was a good Ning. If you didn't go I mean, if you're in the Daton area, you go to fireworks next year. It's the best night of comedy while. He's hands down it. I mean I had a from I remember pretty much had a blast. Was lightlier joke. I don't think it as well as I wanted it too, but I was just trying to which was the buzz lightyear one. I was just like last night, I think I see the new buzz lightyear movie and I was very disappointed and mortified it wasn't the gay porn I was looking for. I remember that one as at the very beginning because they were they were talking about all that, like same sex kissing it and like Oh yeah, but then the Row v Wade thing happened and I thought like that would like kind of like would overshadow a little bit. Maybe I was like if I'm still going to do it. But yeah, Um, that was good. It was good. It was the fcause. Our show was Fu our show was packed. Ours had like eighty reservations and I know they were letting people in like at the door and it was pretty much I mean I think at one point they were coming up to a stand they were going to maybe start sitting people up top with us as they were just they were that full. Damn Um, poor star. She was like I haven't had a moment to stop all night, Jesus, but you know, Chit Ching. So money, money, money, money, money, uh, no, next year Welt. So did July. We we and and asked it on Monday. So July thirty one. We're doing another show here at my house, another homegrown humor Karen's gonna headline. She reminds rebody. Yeah, I cannot pronounce. She's gonna, she's gonna Feature. Yeah, and Uh Helima as she is gonna gonna Open Um. Tickets for that gonna go on sale on the first. To get your fucking tickets, your pieces of sheet. My mom today was like, you know, it's hot in July. Right. I'm like, you know, it's hot now, right. I'm not really gonna have a I'm not waiting until September. So and you know whatever, by the time we start the sun will be down. WHO gives an it'll be fun, it'll be a good time. We had swamps and yeah, we had a blast the last one. So I mean seriously, it was. I ended up letting a bunch of comics who came just go up and do an extra five minutes just for ships. It was a lot of fun. So all that's up. Um, I'M NOT gonna lie. I'm also excited don't have to do comedy until the semi is at go bananas. I'm so excited. Yeah, like, I mean, I'll have to run the open mic at Wiley's, but you can kind of you can kind of take a break. Yeah, because I'm like, yeah, I don't have anything but till the sixteenth in Lima and I'm kind of just gonna leave it like that. The wild thing is, like how do I used to do this all the time? Seriously, yeah, it's exhausting. Yeah, especially because, like, like I said, I did, you know, Wiley's this past week at Cuyahoga the week before, plus Barrel House, plus the House. I'm like, I'm so fucking tired, I don't know what I was running on. Man, hopes and dreams. That's the only thing I can think of. Youth, I guess. Yeah, yess it was my im my youth is slipping away from me. I'm slowly becoming out of touch. I mean, yeah, I just think in my head is like what...
...the fuck? Yeah, like, well, I don't want to that, I want to stay with my family, but it's just like I used to do this all the time and I'm tired and it's it's so exhausting I I can't even like like part again, like I didn't go to the second night of fireworks because I was like, I'm just too tired from just staying up late the night before and even Sunday I was like, I'm just two days later. It should not take me two days to recover from one late fucking night. So here's interesting thing. I started taking in the morning because they be really tired in the morning sometimes, but like magnesium really yeah, so it also helps a body soretness in the morning. I take one at night before I go to bed, and I'm not gonna lie. Yeah, because I've been waking up like I wake up. I just don't feel like refreshed and like I actually feel refreshed now, like I've started. I got this is so hippy of me, but I got this really good like herbal tea and yellow springs, but I drink in the morning, before before I even have coffee, and it's it's really good. It gets me liberal fucking I'm such a fucking snowflake with my herbal tea, herbal tea, herbal fucking te yellow. I'm drinking coffee right now. So fucking corporate, corporate, liberal Snowflake Cock, with my with my with my crochet, Bernie Sanders sitting right bucket. I was actually thinking about that today, not the crochet part, but I don't know what I was thinking during the like I was thinking after watching the hearing. I was like, Oh, I come on. Thinking was like Bernie just sitting there like this, like, Uh Huh, that's would never have happened. It's never what happened under me. We've never been a problem. Yeah, I had I had a friend who when when trump was elected, he was saying like he's like we are going to go to a fucking civil war, and honestly, we're so fucking close to a civil war it's kind of like anymore you think so? I still think so, man, I do, especially with the Review Wade thing. I think it's just I think we're just, Oh yeah, I keep on thinking of the war as like racist race thing. Oh No, not, not, it's not, not, not that one, just in general, just it's good instead of being a instead of being a racist civil war, it's gonna be a political civil war. Yeah, it's gonna be. Yeah, yeah, I mean, we'll just take babies and throw them at people. You want babies, fine, here's your fucking baby. Tom Brady throws it perfect spiral. Baby's got a perfect there we go. Let's end the show with babies blowing up, with with babies ring with grenades, and it's a tear gas baby. Wait, let's shrow Johnson'Ston, Johnson's, no tears shampoo. put it out. We should put no tears in the bottle. But, sir, it does cause tears exactly. Dude out. Yeah, I don't know, rob suck it. Yeah, I don't know. I don't. I don't. I don't even recognize the world we're living in anymore at this point. It does. It's not just something I never thought would be, like ever since I was a kid, like Oh, abortions legal, okay, like that's what I've always thought, like that, would never, like that, would never, and then that it's like a thing, and then you're like and and so many states were quick on the draw to start throwing in bands. Are just the strictest legislation they could come up with. And the irony is like people need to get it, like Republicans that need it because they're cheating on their spouse and got their side checked. They'll get it, absolutely absolutely that because, and that's why they know. They're like no, this is not going to affect us at all, we'll have no problem dealing with us. Um, what was that? There was some there was some politician that that tweeted about it, and this girl retweeted and said like okay, well, your son made me take a plan B pill after we fucked one night, but sure, please continue. Oh ship, yeah, Oh,...
...ship daddy just got called out. Um, I don't know it was, it was. And then did you see the thing from Um, from John's, from John Oliver this week about the Utah Governor asking everyone to pray for rain? So, so the West is going through just just a massive I mean the drought is just getting worse out there. Basically, the Governor of Utah it was like, Um, it literally was like I'm urging everyone. He's like we need rain, we need rain so very bad. So I am urging everyone to come meet me at like whatever, this park or whatever, for a day of prayer to pray for God to send us more rain, and I was like, Oh, okay, and there's there's some native Americans who were who were who out there who were just kind of like, yeah, we did that first. Bitch. That's copyright infringement on rain about some of my posted hold on this is actually I was like, Oh, this is a good one. So she still has on her facebook, because this is really, really, really good. Former trump president secretary and current nominee for Arkansas governor, Sara Huckaby Sanders says that after row row is overturned, show and be as safe in the womb as they are in the classroom, and I can't help I think she just threatened every pregnant woman she sees. Oh ship. Well, who was it was? It was it Bobert or green or MTG who was saying, Um, kids need to be armed and learned how to use guns like at an early age things. So I think it was bober who said that. I was talking about, like she's more of a gun freak than I think she is too, but it's who? M G T K killer? M Um? Yeah, she was saying, Um, somebody just showed this the we will adopt your baby thing. It's uh, we will adopt your baby. Going on with that. Uh, I don't think they found him yet. They still have found I don't think they found as Miller yet. They found Bam. UH, they found Bam ar Jerry. He's going back to Rehab because he disappeared. Um, as far as I know, they haven't found Ezra Miller yet. Bam is such a sad story. The BAMBAR Jerry story breaks my heart every time I think about it. It all starts to Ryan Dune. Yeah, that's what put him like. I mean he was probably on. He was on the cuss of his life, I mean doing what he was doing. But, like any significant thing, a death would have pushed him over the edge. I think it being done really like was just like and that's you. Literally, that's the moment in his life that everything changed. That is yeah, I remember remember when he first died. I mean there was just the the live videos from the site and like Bam was there and just was a mess and wouldn't do interviews, wouldn't talk about it. His parents were saying, like we don't know what to do, and they were a childhood friend like we. We've sat on here several times, like the only person who could get Bam out of this right now is done. Oh yeah, and he's the one who's gone. Well, did you ever he did an interview or talked about hike that night that that happened randomly. He hadn't known it happened yet, but randomly at that probably the moment he died, he just felt like he was in a car and he felt like breaking ship and he didn't know why. He just start breaking it in the car and I think he was in a limo and he had no idea why. He hadn't know him. Done died left, but it's kind of like something overcame him. I felt like great, and then he found out like twenty minutes later and he was just like yeah, yeah, June, June fifteenth, he was reported missing after fleeing the Rehab Center. He was found and checked into a new center yesterday as a Miller. As of June tenth, they still have not been able to locate him to serve him with the order. Miller then posted Messag does on their instagram mocking the courts attempts to find them. But...
...since the lead of the posts Jesus Um, they have said, it's all but confirmed. I think that the flash is just going to go straight to HBO Max. Um, God, this is supposed to be their big thing and they're like, God, Damn it, Ezra. Yeah, that hasn't been confirmed yet, but that's what it's looking like is going to happen, because they're just they're just trying to cut their loss and we need to do they needed to Reado like a Mr and Mrs Smith moving with Ezra, mill and amber heard that's what they need to do. That's fucking funny. God, he's imagine, like they were putting so much effort into that movie flash. Yeah, go back and then trying to and now like if it goes to Hbo Max Automatically, like what a just, yeah, what a what a bad ending for that story all, all all the tribulation they had to go through to get it fucking made. And I don't know, I don't know. Everything they have shown me so far between with with the joker and the Batman is just like just to stop with the universe ship guys. Just make movies. Just make movies, just make good fucking movies. That's all anybody cares about. We could give a funk. If they're can it's cool if they are, if we could give a fun. Guys aren't doing it good. You're not doing a good enough fucking job. Just be done. Um, yeah, Azra Miller, Rovis Wade, Ezra Miller, there's the fucking episode right there. That's a should be the title. No, Ezra Miller's hero Gasm.

The action against major torrent sites continues. A couple of months back The Pirate Bay was taken offline following a raid, the infamous website only came back recently, and is now dealing with a fake torrent problem. KickassTorrents is another popular site which brings in millions of unique users daily. The site's .so domain name was seized today briefly knocking it offline.
For quite a while now the torrent site has been operating with the Kickass.so domain name. This Somalian domain has now been listed as "banned" by the .SO registry which is why KAT was offline earlier today.
Popular torrent websites tend to become targets for copyrights holders who try various methods to get the sites taken offline. This is why sites like these have to shuffle their domains in order to evade such attempts.
Given that KAT's domain has only been seized it didn't take long for the team to get the site up and running again. They simply needed to shift to another domain, and they did, KickassTorrents has reverted to its .to domain for the time being.
The site will stick with that domain until the next attempt to take it offline comes, or it'll move to one that's less likely to come under pressure from copyright holders.

Growing up I absolutely loved making solar prints, and now I get to create them with my daughter who loves them as well! Solar prints are also great to do with friends on weekends away, and has been a big hit. Solar prints, also known as cyanoprints, or sun prints, are made using photoreactive paper, sun, and water. It is both a creative and a scientific process — great for all ages, and nearly fail proof — perfect!
The process is simple. Find interesting shaped leaves (ferns are my favourite!), flowers, bugs, shells, even wheat or grass can look beautiful. Then work with the children to help consider their composition… because once the paper is exposed to the sun, you have to arrange it very quickly! Some kids like the minimal look (like our friends did — they wanted to understand the whole process before getting more creative). Yet some children layer everything they find from the garden onto the sheet at once. There is a balance to be struck. Regardless, it is an experiment, and the end result usually looks very professional. And I love that indigo blue colour of the paper once it is complete!
Make sure you aren't in areas where shadows can be cast on the print.
The paper is sealed in a black plastic bag. Only remove the paper when ready to make the prints or it will overexpose the paper. Keep it away from curious little ones!
If it is too windy or breezy, items may blow away. Find a wall or side of a house that you can use to 'break' the wind. Some kits contain a plastic protector sheet so items don't blow away.
Last summer we made numerous solar prints which we then framed and gifted to Grandparents. A sweet gift!
The kits are available from numerous retailers. I used this sun print set in the US last year, and really loved the large paper. And these sunography prints from the Hedgehog shop in the UK are great, or try their fabric solar graphic set as well.
I hope you create some souvenirs with solar paper this summer and perhaps it will inspires some other nature projects as well. Embrace the sun and outdoor fun!
So lovely Lara. We made similar sunprints last summer with fabric and ink. It's such a fun activity. Would love to do a whole duvet cover one day.

Academic & Professional Books Botany Plants & Gardens
The Passion for Pelargoniums How They Found their Place in the Garden
By: Anne Wilkinson
302 pages, 16 col illus, b/w photos & illus
ISBN: 9780750944281 Hardback May 2007 Out of Print #163069
About this book Biography Related titles
Anne Wilkinson's new book tells the story of the pelargonium, one of the most popular plants in Britain, Europe, America and Australia. Quick and reliable to grow for summer colour, and well marketed, most gardeners will have at least one in their garden or conservatory, without realising either the number or variety of species available, nor the plant's extraordinary history. "A Passion for Pelargoniums" reveals the fascinating and dramatic tales of those who have been involved in finding, classifying, collecting and breeding the plants. It explodes the myth that all modern versions of the plant are descended from the oldest known variety - the seventeenth-century drab-coloured P. triste, literally translated as the sad pelargonium, and reveals that 2,000 hybrids have been developed from less than a dozen plants originally imported from the East.
From the contribution of L'Heritier, whom Sir Joseph Banks named 'an impudent Frenchman', to collectors like Masson and the Marquess of Blandford (known for his 'elegant emporium'), competing nurserymen determined to make both fortunes and reputations, and the burgeoning Victorian varieties as growers searched for the holy grail of the scarlet geranium, the book recounts the plant's extraordinary history. Today, while traditional white ones, doubles, 'nosegays' and 'rosebuds' still flourish, the 'lemon-scented geranium' is only one of a number of scented varieties, while pelargoniums can have flowers of pink, red, purple, yellow or black.
This is the story of how the passion felt by gardeners for their plants stirred them to bitter rivalry and criminal obsession, scandal, fraud, and fast dealing, and saw polite society being rather less than polite.
Anne Wilkinson has a PhD in garden history. She has lectured on the subject, written academic papers for publications including Garden History and Hackney History, and contributed to Anna Pavord's series The Green Detectives on Radio 4. Her first book, The Victorian Gardener, was published by Sutton in 2006 and she lives in Essex where she enjoys growing historic plants.

#112 | Dangerous Liaisons: Children of the Revolution
Our Glenn Close mini-season - which we're now dubbing 'Close Encounters of the Glenn Kind' - continues with an episode dedicated to Dangerous Liaisons, in which the actress gives one of her most memorably villainous performances as the scheming aristocrat Marquise Isabelle de Merteuil.
Directed by Stephen Frears and co-starring John Malkovich, Michelle Pfeiffer and Uma Thurman, Dangerous Liaisons has it all - intrigue, seduction and many, many wigs. In other words, it should be a perfect Beyond The Box Set movie. Unfortunately, one of us didn't quite end up seeing things that way...
Tune into this week's episode to hear our thoughts on bedtime wigs, a classic distracting Keanu Reeves performance, the film's surprisingly abrupt ending and much more, plus drinking games and of course, our sequel pitches.
Every week on Beyond The Box Set, we take a look back at a classic standalone movie, and compete to pitch the most ridiculous sequels, prequels and spin-off ideas to bring them back to the big screen.

#111 | Fatal Attraction 2: Bitches Be Crazy
Having recently discovered that Harry has only ever seen two Glenn Close movies in his life - one of which being Guardians of the Galaxy - we decided to dedicate a season to the iconic 7-time Oscar non-winner. First up, the terrifying 80s erotic thriller Fatal Attraction...
In this movie, Glenn stars as Alex Forrest, a successful career woman who reacts rather poorly to being discarded by married sleaze-ball Michael Douglas after a one night stand. It starts as a compelling examination of mental illness and ends as a fairly silly thriller, but Glenn's performance is one for the ages, and the movie was a genre-defining smash on release.
Tune in to hear our thoughts on dishwater sex (we're against it), the terrible mistreatment of poor Quincey the dog in this movie, and why Michael Douglas deserved pretty much everything he got...
Oh yeah and sequel pitches, drinking games, etc. You know the drill.
Beyond The Box Set is a movie podcast with a twist. Each week, we take a classic standalone movie and compete to pitch the most ridiculous sequels, prequels and spin-offs to bring them back to the big screen.

#110 | Being Benjamin Button
Over the course of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, a man lives an entire lifetime in reverse. After sitting through the three-hour runtime, we felt like we could relate to the experience.
Directed by David Fincher from the short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is a fascinating concept with a fundamentally boring character at the centre. Join us on this week's podcast as we discuss extremely variable CGI work, the intense ick-factor of the old man/little girl love story and why Tilda Swinton gave us a very British case of second-hand tea anxiety...
We also have a go at pitching some sequel ideas, including some thoughts on how other notable directors might have handled this story, and a crossover with one of our favourite camp classics from a past episode...

#108 | The Martian 2: Life On Mars?
Like most moviegoers, the last couple of years have kind of soured us on the screen talents of Matt Damon. Movies like Downsizing and Suburbicon haven't exactly made the best use of his talents, to put it mildly. So revisiting The Martian was a timely reminder that he can actually be pretty damn charming when he's actually given decent material to work with.
Directed by Ridley Scott, The Martian stars Damon as Mark Watney, a dry-witted space botanist accidentally stranded on Mars during a mission. While awaiting rescue he's forced to face off against exploding potatoes, a diminishing food supply and a lot of disco music. It's a lot of fun, which is a pleasant surprise for a modern Sci-fi movie.
Join us as we discuss key plot points such as Sean Bean's complete lack of accent effort, Jessica Chastain's questionable leadership skills and what the hell Kristen Wiig is doing in this movie. As usual, we also attempt to come up with some plausible sequel ideas to send this movie back into orbit.
Every week on Beyond The Box Set, hosts Harry and John take a look at a classic standalone movie, and then compete to pitch the most ridiculous sequel, prequel and spin-off ideas to bring them back to the big screen. It's all the fun of a grim Hollywood board meeting, with more booze and sarcasm.

#107 | The Dressmaker 2: The Hemsworth Curse
We're back, you bastards! This week's episode may be arriving slightly late, but we hope the choice of movie justifies the wait. The Dressmaker is a real curio - a hilarious Australian revenge comedy/drama starring Kate Winslet, Liam Hemsworth and a lot of hats, wigs and fabulous evening gowns!
If you've never seen this movie before, we strongly recommend that you seek it out before listening to this episode - it's an absolute riot, and some of the plot twists are so out-there that we'd hate to ruin them for you! But do make sure you come back, because we have a *lot* to talk about...
Beyond The Box Set is a movie podcast with a difference. Every week, our two hosts watch a classic standalone movie and compete to pitch the most ridiculous sequel, prequel and spin-off ideas to bring them back to the big screen.

In a letter to the ENMC, with copies to the Ministry of the Sea, the DGRM and the Directorate-General for Energy, the Eni / Galp consortium informed the mentioned government bodies that it is unable to proceed with the drilling of a deep-offshore oil exploration well this year (2018) off the cost of Aljezur.
In a letter sent to the government in August, it states that as a result of the suspension of works ordered by the Administrative and Fiscal Court of Loulé "it has the immediate consequence of being impossible to carry out the drilling operations as it was contractually obliged to do" and the letter further reinforces the fact that it was due to factors outside of the concessionaire control (...) "meaning that a postponement is once again inevitable."
The current contract ends in January 2019 and a source for the Ministry of Economy notes that "although the contract can no longer be extended, but that the court decision to suspend the activities will add a few months to the deadline."
The exploration work which was scheduled to take place in September, was suspended based on the injunction filed by three associations - Quercus, Sciaena and Almargen - with the argument that "there was a violation by the DGRM to the TUPEM license public consultation process " , specifically regarding the fact that it failed to provide a cetacean monitoring report. Adding to this argument ENI is arguing a"loss of at least four million euros" as a result of the suspension, leaving open a possible claim for compensation to the State by the Eni/Galp consortium.
Asked by journalists, if the ENI / Galp consortium would give up the drilling, and was only looking for arguments to be compensated, the consortium only replied, "Eni and Galp awaits the decision of the court and will not comment on speculative scenarios."
The Ministry of the Sea said, "that as the need for a cetaceans report and study was a result of the public consultation." And DGRM confirmed, "that the cetaceans study was finished four months after the public discussion."
ASMAA is of the opinion that the government will not do anything to cancel the deep offshore drilling schedule to take place in the Alentejo Bay off Aljezur coastline by the Eni/Galp consortium.
We are of the opinion that the government wants to wait until past national elections due to take place early in 2019, and that it will afterwards open up Portugal to be exploited by oil companies both onshore as well as offshore. With new international tenders and contracts being awarded then.
These new exploration contracts will certainly include fracking operations.
Nor should we forget that the injunction that stopped the drilling currently is based on an injunction challenging the authorization given by DGRM (under the tutelage of the Sea Ministry) for the use of Portuguese maritime space – namely a TUPEM licence to drill an exploratory well by the consortium Galp / ENI. Nothing else.
As a result … THE FIGHT MUST GO ON! We can't stop now … in fact, we now have to increase our efforts to stop all drilling planned for the near future.
g) the cancellation of the recommendation by Portuguese Environmental Agency dated 16 May 2018.
10. and the interested parties being the consortium partners, Eni and Galp.
As it is blatantly clear, ASMAA's legal actions are extensive, comprehensive and well researched, and do not focus only on the award of a TUPEM licence, which had the government wanted to do, could have been easily overturned before ASMAA launched our own legal challenges. We are of the opinion that our legal actions and its timing threw a spanner in the government wheels.
But nonetheless, we are deeply grateful for this suspension, which was obtained by the three associations that brought an injunction against the award of the TUPEM, even if it will be only temporary nature (i.e. until the end of the year) ... because once again, the bottom line is that there is a suspension to the drilling, and any suspension at this stage of the game, is very, very welcome!
In the meanwhile the fight continues … because we do not want any drilling to take place not now, nor in the future. Not One WELL!

Hermetic Library Fellow T Polyphilus reviews Locke & Key: Small World by Joe Hill, Gabriel Rodriguez, and Jay Fotos.
It's been years since I read the original Locke & Key comics, but they absolutely blew me away when they first came out. Small World is a "one-shot" supplementary story, one of a handful charted for the "Golden Age" of Keyhouse, and it features a Klein bottle effect with a dollhouse that appears to simulate but actually positions the functioning Keyhouse within itself. The story relies on an informed readership who know something about the crazy magicks of the Locke family and their mansion.
Although Joe Hill does a good job of creating distinctive characters for the Golden Age here, a single comics issue is not really sufficient to cultivate the sort of affection I experienced for his protagonists in the original series. And this book, despite its hardcover format and apparent "graphic novel" length, is really no more than a single comic book. It is extensively padded out with reproductions of every conceivable draft and rough on the way to the finished product: manuscript facsimiles, typescript, panel breakdowns, pencil sketches, etc., etc. The comic itself takes up less than half of the volume. This publishing trick is not new, and I find myself less and less interested in these exhibitions of process.
Gabriel Rodriguez's art is still awesome, and the book does include one of those breathtaking two-page spreads that he pulled off regularly in the original series.

Clockworks
Hermetic Library fellow T Polyphilus reviews Locke & Key Volume 5: Clockworks by Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez:
Clockworks is the penultimate collection of the Locke & Key comics series, and in this volume, there is a very full account of the multiple backstories progressively hinted at in the earlier parts of the series. The final confrontation to which the whole narrative has been building is effectively put on hold, while the Locke children (the ones that aren't possessed by horrible demons) use a newly-discovered key to travel in time — well, eavesdrop in time is really more like it — and find out the centuries-old history of the keys and the events of their father's generation.
The book is great, with no flagging of the amazingly high quality of the story and art that have come before. There is a two-page spread of looking into the head of a possessed Dodge Caravaggio that was such an amazing image, it repaid the entire story to that point all by itself. [via]

Hermetic Library fellow T Polyphilus reviews Locke & Key, Vol. 4: Keys to the Kingdom by Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez from IDW Publishing:
This fourth collection of the Locke & Key series is clearly moving into the climax of the entire series arc. (There are two more volumes to go.) The pace is often much faster than in earlier parts of the series; chapter three ("February") in particular barrels through a whole mess of events, often realizing a whole complicated day's adventure in a single panel. Over the course of this collection, six new magic keys are introduced, a pace that more than doubles the rate of the earlier numbers. The graphic violence is probably more extreme than in any of the prior volumes as well.
The motivation of our prime villain Dodge becomes clearer to the reader in these stories, at the same time as his culpability starts to become evident to the Locke family. It appears that the stakes may be far higher than the well-being of the Lockes or Keyhouse. But not all the evil in these comics is supernatural. The commentary on homophobia that had been introduced earlier in the series is supplemented with some candid observations of/on racism. Some readers might find these a little preachy, but I thought they were handled artfully, and they speak to the tenor of the times.
In the first chapter of Keys to the Kingdom Hill and Rodriguez pay very overt tribute to Bill Watterson, with Bode Locke as an obvious stand-in for Calvin. And in "Casualties" (#22 of the original comic) Bode and Rufus Whedon populate another homage to earlier comics in the form of an invented Squadron Strange action adventure. The Locke & Key series has such beautiful art and rich storytelling that I'm sure it will someday be the object of such admirations and acknoweldgements from a younger generation of comics creators.

Q: Tab selection ignores all elements generated within loop in React I have radio group in my application and this group builds based on array const genders = ["Male", "Female", "Neutral"];, when I press the Tab button focus falls at the first element only and goes further ignoring the rest of elements.

const { useState } = React;

const App = () => {
  const genders = ["male", "female", "netural"];
  return (
    <React.Fragment>

Hello Example

        {genders.map((gender) => (

              <input tabIndex={0} type="radio" value={gender} />
              {gender}

        ))}

    </React.Fragment>
  );
};

const root = ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById("root"));
root.render(<App />);

I have prepared working example and sahred it here: sandbox
I have tried to add tabIndex to parent and to input element, but it didn't work.
When I add tabIndex={0} it selects parent element first and goes to the input element after clicking the Tab one more time, it is bad behaviour.
Please tell me how can it be fixed ?

A: Just add a name to your inputs.
<input name={"gender-" + gender} type="radio" value={gender} />

Full example:

const App = () => {
  const genders = ["male", "female", "netural"];
  return (
    <React.Fragment>

Hello Example

          Same name (and same group, only 1 selected) - select first element with TAB and use arrows up and down
          keys to navigate

        {genders.map((gender) => (

              <input name={"gender"} type="radio" value={gender} />
              {gender}

        ))}

Different names (and group - you can select all of them) - use tab key to navigate

        {genders.map((gender) => (

              <input name={"gender" + gender} type="radio" value={gender} />
              {gender}

        ))}

    </React.Fragment>
  );
};

ReactDOM.render(
    <App />,
    document.getElementById("root")
);

Notes: https://stackoverflow.com/a/14322638/5767872

Radio buttons with one name is like single control (like input or select), you can change it value with arrow keys, tab key moves focus to another control.

(Thanks @t-j-crowder)

A: I think that you need kind of radio group behavior (only one selected from the set). You may add the same attr name for all inputs and that TAB will focus the first one. To navigate to the next you may use arrows key (actually navigate and select).
For example, check - https://mui.com/material-ui/react-radio-button/.

A: There are really two problems:

*

*Keyboard navigation isn't working as you expect.

*The radio buttons don't form a radio group. Each of them is separate, and they can all be selected at the same time.
The keyboard navigation thing is largely a misunderstanding: You can't tab between the choices, because the set of elements is logically a single field (even though they're not acting like it right now). Instead, to use keyboard navigation, you tab to the group, and the select the options via the Up/Down and Right/Left keys.
The issue with their not being a true group can be corrected by giving the radio buttons the same name (for instance, make them all name="gender"). Then they're mutually-exclusive, and they're properly in a group (which is important for assistive technologies).

const { useState } = React;

const App = () => {
    const genders = ["male", "female", "netural"];
    return (
        <React.Fragment>

Hello Example

                {genders.map((gender) => (

                            <input name="gender" tabIndex={0} type="radio" value={gender} />
                            {gender}

                ))}

        </React.Fragment>
    );
};

const root = ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById("root"));
root.render(<App />);

To further enable assistive technologies, ensure that each radio button is labelled:

const { useState } = React;

const App = () => {
    const genders = ["male", "female", "neutral"];
    return (
        <React.Fragment>

Hello Example

                {genders.map((gender) => (

                                <input name="gender" tabIndex={0} type="radio" value={gender} />
                                {gender}

                ))}

        </React.Fragment>
    );
};

const root = ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById("root"));
root.render(<App />);

You might also add a fieldset around the group with a legend. (And put the whole thing in a form.)
