The Newest Attraction
There's a new attraction at the diner, and Oliver isn't thrilled about it. One of the business partners of the diner brings his inventions into the place of business. Oliver is unhappy about his friend's inventions, but he tries to refrain from telling him how he truly feels. It goes from bad to worse when decisions are made without the approval of the other business partners.

❤️🔄 Cambiare chi amiamo è una cosa di quelle che, sulla carta, tutti dicono di non voler fare ma poi, alla prova dei fatti, tutti sperano, tentano, di portare l’amato sulle proprie sponde, di farlo, appunto, cambiare, per amore o per astio. Ma la frase ha anche un altro senso, uno del tutto opposto. E poi, una terza possibilità ancora…

A Tale of Two TV Series: "TED LASSO" and "THE BEAR"
In this article, I break down how “TED LASSO” and “THE BEAR” are essentially the same story, follow mirror universe versions of the same characters, explore the same themes, and adhere to the same three-act structure – and, more importantly, what we can learn from those similarities.

My got my first programming job about 40 years ago on the Blackfeet Indian Reservation in Northwest Montana. The company created school records software for Indian Reservations and rural school districts in the Rocky Mountain West.
Just out of college after achieving a perfect GPA and shiny new degree in Computer Science, I admit to my arrogance. I ran headlong into an equally arrogant and demanding boss determined to bend me to his will.
It did not end well. We were both jerks.
It isn't an uplifting story, but it was a key event in my life that prompted the introspection and self assessment that I needed at that time. I came through the experience as a better person.

There is a Spanish folktale about a princess visited by a gorgeous green bird that turns out to be an enchanted prince from China. She falls in love with him, and breaks the enchantment with the help of a clever washerwoman.
The bird transforms from bird to man by bathing in water in a bowl made of topaz.

Forgotten Gods
From the Caribbean
Papa Bois (father of the woods) or "Daddy Bouchon" (meaning hairy man), is a folklore character of St. Lucia and Trinidad and Tobago. He is thought of as the protector of the forests and their flora and fauna.
His appearance is that of a short, old man of African descent with cloven hooves and a beard of leaves. His body is completely covered with hair like that of a donkey and small horns sprout from his forehead. Despite his aged appearance he is very strong and fast. He is also known to carry a hollowed-out bull's horn, which he uses to warn animals of hunters' approach.

A friend asked #ChatGPT for recommendations on folktales where weaving and spinning plays an important role.
The #AI recommended the Ugly Duckling.
When asked why, it said "the duckling makes magical clothes for the prince." 😂
This will probably change in the future, but right now, AI is very, very bad at folklore questions.
(Last time I asked it about mythical creatures in China, and it made up an entire nonexistent chapter of Journey to the West...)
I think they do a really good job of setting up characters in Cyberpunk 2077. They'll be introduced, briefly, and the introduction plays some other purpose.
You see a legendary fixer in a bar, and seeing her will prompt the characters to think and talk about what it means to be a legend (which is an important theme of the game). The scene stands by itself.
Later, we'll meet and interact with her, and the introductory conversation helps us understand who she is.

Tabletop RPG question for all you awesome GMs and Players out there: how do you organize and track information in your games?
As in, how do you keep track of what plots are in motion, what NPCs and villains are up to? How do you organize your game worlds and settings?
When I was a teen, I used to make huge worlds, dozens of NPCs with their own character sheets, crazy-person™ webs of relationships and plot threads, maps of the world and each setting the charterers would likely explore, and so on.
It was awesome...and super-mega-overkill.
Since then, I've developed a minimalist index card system that relies on mostly improv and letting the players make assumptions or assertions about the world that I then weave into the established lore. It was inspired by the Lazy GM (DM?) and the collaborative history-building game, Microscope. I also use the 5-room dungeon / 5-act play structure for plots and encounters.
But I want to hear your ideas. What tips, tricks, successes and failures have you had in this area?

#RonanFarrow is the best #storytelling #journalist after #MichaelLewis and it sucks that neither of them are here (even as tweet bots).
In 2020, we developed a special tool, MementoEmbed, for generating/extracting metadata from archived web pages. We presented this tool at the Web Archiving and Digital Libraries Workshop (WADL2020).
We found out that #Twitter, #Facebook, #Tumblr, and others could not reliably create cards for archived web pages. We use MementoEmbed’s cards in #Storytelling with our tool Raintale to create a #Visualization of this #Summarization.
Elon is planning to effectively kill social cards on #Twitter. Social cards were a big part of my dissertation work. I published a few papers about generating them via #ComputerVision, #NLP, and #MachineLearning because they make for nice bits of document #Summarization and #Storytelling. Now Musk wants them gone to force journalists to write articles directly on Twitter.

What lurks in plain sight yet only reveals itself from the shadows? A terrible, hungry bit of nature stalking Nassau County, New York.
In this short (4 min) intermission episode, I warn a listener of what may already be under their bed.

Obviously. I would love a subscription where I regularly receive folklore in the mail. Especially unpublished, archival, freshly collected, newly translated, or little known local folklore from around the world.

Likely to post random #musings about whatever's trending - usually #India, #MastIndia, #news, #SocialContract, #podcasts, etc.
I ❤️ #puns, #shitposts, #memes, and jumping into conversations uninvited.
One of my favorite #folklore tidbits:
In many parts of Greece it was believed that vampires can't cross salt water. Because of this, they often buried suspected vampires on desert islands.
Greek vampires also had an affinity for shoemaking.
So... there are probably a bunch of fashion-forward vampire islands in the Mediterranean somewhere 😄 😄
Forgot to say I’m a long-term #DoctorWho fan, since watching the first episode of The Ribos Operation in 1978 at a very young age. Favourite Doctor #DavidTennant then #TomBaker and #PaulMcGann (thanks #BigFinish for that last). Favourite companion #SarahJaneSmith. Favourite Classic Who story City of Death, and favourite New Who The Empty Child. I’m not a huge #scifi fan, not keen on hard scifi. But as a #storytelling engine Who works brilliantly. Historian me loves the #timeTravel. #introduction
