As a fan of the MCU and The Inheritance Games, it is a funny thing to say one of my most favorite and most disliked characters are both billionaire geniuses and they'd probably have an interesting showdown. To clarify; I love Tony Stark and I could care less about ToB1aS hAWtH0rNe. Start laying down your bets because these two have billions to gamble and the world's their playground but they aren't real, just fictional, so we make them bend to our will using our imagination. They both have names starting with Ts, they have brilliant teenage boys as their protégés, although, in Tobias's case, Xander is his actual grandson while Peter is not even Tony's son. The two also happen to be philanthropists, tech innovators, and helping cultivate the world in different ways. However, where one is a superhero with the motivation to save the world and change it for the better, the other stole another's fortune with a gamble on an invention and then left his own to a seemingly random girl who he brings in to play therapist for his grandsons after his death. However, it can't be said that these two didn't love the respective kids in their lives and that despite the mistakes they made with them, they still wanted the best for them, just very differently. Tony and Tobias also have their similar villains that they kept in check, for example, Iron Monger aka Obadiah Stane was essentially Tony's Vincent Blake and both these adversaries happened to be their mentors and older men. The wayward son also seems to be part of their character arcs except, Tony was that son himself while Tobias had Toby to fill in that role and there were major cover ups regarding something about the parentage and/or heritage with a murder/assassination story to go alongside it all. Oh, and probably the most ironic thing of all is that they are both dead but I will never cry over Tobias only Tony because that death from Endgame is still too fresh on my mind. I would just love seeing these two battle it out in a game of wits, morals, and ethics and for Tony to just completely decimate the old man while Xander and Peter would just be in the background completely ignorant of this while they talk about their inventions and discuss their favorite movies which, of course, include Star Wars.

since i’m having an inheritance games brainrot currently, i decided to throw together taylor swift songs/lyrics that i thought fit the characters. it was actually really hard but i’d totally do it again-
Avery Kylie Grambs: …Ready For It? - “Knew he was a killer first time that I saw him. Wonder how many girls he had loved and left haunted. But if he's a ghost, then I can be a phantom, holdin' him for ransom.”
Libby Grambs: Tied Together With A Smile(I also really considered Begin Again) - “I guess it's true that love was all you wanted, 'cause you're givin' it away like it's extra change, hoping it will end up in his pocket, but he leaves you out like a penny in the rain.”
Nash Westbrook Hawthorne: Fearless - “We're drivin' down the road, I wonder if you know I'm tryin' so hard not to get caught up now. But you're just so cool, run your hands through your hair. Absentmindedly makin' me want you.”
Grayson Davenport Hawthorne: cardigan - “You drew stars around my scars, but now I'm bleedin'. 'Cause I knew you, steppin' on the last train, marked me like a bloodstain, I- I knew you tried to change the ending; Peter losing Wendy.”
Jameson Winchester Hawthorne: Mine - “Do you remember, we were sittin', there by the water? You put your arm around me for the first time. You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter. You are the best thing, that's ever been mine.”
Alexander Blackwood Hawthorne: The Archer - “I've been the archer, I've been the prey. Who could ever leave me, darling? But who could stay?”
Tobias Tattersall Hawthorne: Mastermind - “What if I told you none of it was accidental? And the first night that you saw me, nothing was gonna stop me? I laid the groundwork and then, just like clockwork the dominoes cascaded in a line. What if I told you I'm a mastermind?”
Skye Hawthorne: the last great american dynasty - “‘There goes the last great American dynasty’ ‘Who knows if she never showed up, what could've been’ ‘There goes the most shameless woman this town has ever seen’ ‘She had a marvelous time ruinin' everything’.”
Zara Hawthorne-Calligaris: Better Than Revenge - “I had it all I had him right there where I wanted him. She came along, got him alone, and let's hear the applause; She took him faster than you could say ‘sabotage’.”
Toby Hawthorne: closure - “Don't treat me like some situation that needs to be handled. I'm fine with my spite, and my tears, and my beers and my candles. I can feel you smoothing me over”
Pearl O’day: no body, no crime - “She thinks I did it but she just can't prove it. No, no body, no crime. I wasn't letting up until the day he… died.”
Alisa Ortega: Midnight Rain - He was sunshine, I was midnight rain. He wanted comfortable, I wanted that pain. He wanted a bride, I was making my own name.”
Maxine Liu: dorothea - “You got shiny friends since you left town, a tiny screen's the only place I see you now, and I got nothing but well wishes for ya.”
Thea Calligaris: New Romantics - “We need love, but all we want is danger. We team up, then switch sides like a record changer. The rumors are terrible and cruel; But honey, most of them are true.”
Rebecca Laughlin: tolerate it - “I greet you with a battle hero's welcome. I take your indiscretions all in good fun. I sit and listen, I polish plates until they gleam and glisten. You're so much older and wiser and I.”
Emily Laughlin: Wildest Dreams - “Say you'll remember me, standing in a nice dress, staring at the sunset, babe. Red lips and rosy cheeks; Say you'll see me again, even if it's just in your wildest dreams.”

2023 Reading Log, pt 13
I've been putting off writing this one for a while, because all of these books are... fine? I didn't feel very strongly about them any way, either positively or negatively. Plus, I've been strongly burnt out on writing in general, and it's been hard for me to push myself to even write little 100 word blurbs about books.
61. Strange Japanese Yokai by Kenji Murakami, translated by Zack Davisson. It’s rare that I get the opportunity to read a yokai book originally written in Japanese, seeing as I don’t speak the language, so I jumped on the chance to get a copy of this when I found out it existed. It’s cute, with cartoony artwork and little data file sidebars that remind me of a Scholastic book… except the content is far weirder than what American kids books contain. The theme of the yokai stories here is that a lot of yokai… kind of suck. The stories told about the big hitters, like oni, kappa, kitsune and tanuki, are about them being foolish or having easily exploited weaknesses, and a lot of the other stories are about gross or pathetic yokai more than scary or impressive ones. The book is overall charming, but a very quick read. More of a supplement to other yokai books than a one-stop shop.
62. Mythical Creatures of Maine by Christopher Packard. This is a bit of an odd duck, seeing as it combines multiple monster traditions (fearsome critters, cryptids and Native American lore) under the same set of covers. It’s a pretty typical A-Z monster book, with some good information about obscure fearsome critters and Wabanaki monsters. There are, however, two things about the book I actively dislike, that keep me from strongly recommending it. The art is terrible. The illustrations by Dan Kirchoff are done in a style I can only describe as “fake woodcuts with flat colors” and are ugly (and in some cases, difficult to decipher). The other is that most, but not all of the monsters, get little microfiction epigrams in the character of Burton Marlborough Packard, the author’s great-great grandfather who worked in the Maine lumberwoods. It’s a weird touch, especially since the epigrams are only a sentence or two, and are typically pretty pointless.
63. Mushrooms: A Natural and Cultural History by Nicholas P. Money. There have been a number of books about fungi for the educated lay audience that have been published in the last couple of years. This one doesn’t really stand out from the crowd. The photography is nice, and there’s some coverage of the history of mycology and some of the prominent people in the field. But the book isn’t very well organized, bouncing from one topic to another within the same paragraph, and there are a number of passages that feel more like rants (the chapter on culinary uses for mushrooms, for example).
64. The Lives of Beetles by Arthur V. Evans. This book serves as an introduction to entomology in general, and beetles in particular. It covers core topics like insect body plans, introduces cladistics and covers the evolution, ecology, behavior and conservation of beetles in broad strokes. These strokes feel particularly broad because there are a lot of beetles; much of the book covers groups on the levels of family, which makes it feel a little bit shallow. These are alternated with descriptions of individual species, and this is where the book shines, as it gives good information about both well known species and some pretty obscure ones. The real value of the book, to someone who has been around the entomological block as I have, is in its production values—this book is quite simply gorgeous, and there are lots of nice photos of many different species.
65. Hoax: A History of Deception by Ian Tattersall and Peter Névraumont. This book has an identity crisis. You would think, with a title like that, that the main topic would be about hoaxes and cons. Some of it is. Some of it is about people who believed what they were pushing, even if it wasn’t true (apocalypse prophecies, homeopathy). Some of it is about misconceptions in archaeology, even if nobody was intentionally lying (the Piltdown Man is an actual hoax. Mary Leakey misidentifying rocks as human artifacts isn’t). And the organization is frankly baffling—it’s arranged in chronological order for some part of a topic, regardless of how much of the chapter is actually about when it’s set. For example, a chapter on fixed games is set at 260 BCE, but spends more of its length talking about modern pro wrestling than gladiator matches. The book is a somewhat bizarre reading experience.

Movie Reviews:
GenerationofSwine: It’s time for the Majestic review….
…RED SCARE!!!!
It makes a play at it in the very start of the film. It loudly proclaims that, HEY, WATCH THIS MOVIE, IT’S ABOUT FREE SPEECH AND THE HOLLYWOOD BLACKLIST!!!!! And it does it as loud as it can…
…and then it kind of forgets what the movie is about up until the last 15 minutes.
However, the bulk of the movie does seem like the kind of film that would fit in the Hollywood Blacklist Era. The plot, the acting, the setting, all seems to be very much a 1950s feel good movie…
…and then it veers off again and delivers on the 1st Amendment moral to end the film with a light heavy hand…if that makes sense.
So, it feels disjointed, but in a way that oddly fits the premise to begin with. Almost as if it is trying to be a movie in a movie, which might have been the point.
Watch it once, it will entertain you. Watch it more than once and you’ll be bored.

Strawberry Studios in Stockport, England
South of Manchester, in the post-industrial town of Stockport, are what remains of Strawberry Studios, a bonafide U.K. musical mecca. Some of the most significant creations in U.K. music history were recorded in this unassuming building between 1967 and 1993. Eric Stewart of the Mindbenders and the 10cc and band manager Peter Tattersall opened Strawberry Studios in 1967. Stewart named the studio after his favorite Beatles song, "Strawberry Fields Forever," and the pair would use the tagline "Strawberry Studios Forever." During the 1970s and 1980s, the studio became one of the world's most innovative places to create music. Milestone tracks such as "I'm Not in Love" and "Neanderthal Man" were recorded using experimental equipment and new cutting-edge techniques. Strawberry Studios quickly gained international fame. Global artists, including Neil Sedaka, Paul McCartney, the Smiths, the Stone Roses, the Ramones, and many others, recorded songs at the studio. The studio is particularly well known for its role in capturing the northern gothic sounds of post-punk bands like Joy Division. It's here dark incantations like Joy Division's "Love Will Tear Us Apart" were made under the manic ministrations of producer Martin Hannett who oversaw much of the early output from Manchester's ill-fated Factory Records. Another Strawberry Studio powerhouse, Joey Ramone, was particularly taken with the Chinese Takeaway just across the road and ate there often as he recorded the vocals for songs like "The KKK Took My Baby Away" at Strawberry. After several changes of ownership, the studio finally closed in 1993. But the building on Waterloo Road remains and still bears the studio logo reminding passersby of the remarkable sonic milestones achieved in this sleepy corner of rainy Stockport.

Xander is basically Peter Parker. He’s a genius who loves building robots and other creative innovations, enjoys Star Wars, and is a protege with a genius mentor who serves a father figure to him but in his case, it happens to be his actual father (though I’m sure that his grandfather took that place in his life before his death). Also, he literally got all the brains in his family, from his father, Isaiah Alexander, and from his mother’s side, his maternal grandfather, Tobias Hawthorne himself. Though, in a way, even though they aren’t truly related, maybe he picked up some indirectly from his uncle Toby.

Mitä avoimella datalla voidaan tehdä?
Mitä on avoin data? Avoimella datalla tarkoitetaan julkishallinnon, organisaatioiden tai yritysten tuottamaa tai niille kertynyttä julkista tietoa, joka on avattu vapaasti ja maksutta kaikkien hyödynnettäväksi. Data on digitaalista. Se on tilastoja, taloustietoja, karttoja, kuvia, videota ja 3D-malleja. Näin ytimekkäästi asian kiteyttää Helsinki Region Infoshare (HRI), joka on Helsingin, Espoon, Vantaan ja Kauniaisten kaupunkien yhteinen avoimen datan palvelu.
Big datalla eli massadatalla tarkoitetaan sellaista tietoa, jonka määrä on niin suuri tai joka lisääntyy tai muuttuu jatkuvasti niin, ettei sitä voida käsitellä perinteisillä datanhallintakeinoilla ja ohjelmistoilla. Se on usein jonkin laitteen automaattisesti tuottamaa valtavaa tietoaineistoa. Big data käsitteenä tarkoittaa myös sitä koko alaa, jossa tällaista vaikeasti hallittavaa massadataa yritetään haravoida, käsitellä ja analysoida.
Moni varmaan muistaa Peter Tattersallin palkitut ”puumaiset” avoimen datan visualisoinnit.
Tattersall on luonut monta mielenkiintoista avoimen datan visualisointia. Valtionbudjetti.fi-palvelussa pääsee tarkastelemaan valtion budjettitaloutta helposti ymmärrettävällä tavalla. Budjettipeli.fi-palvelussa voi itse ”laittaa hyvinvoinnin rahoituksen uuteen uskoon”. Sote-palveluiden kokonaiskustannuksia vuonna 2017 taas pääsee katselemaan sotenrahapuu.fi-palvelussa.
Hauskana esimerkkinä avoimen datan soveltamisesta toimii Aarni K:n kehittämä HELSINKI-PILALLA -sivusto. Kyseinen sivusto hyödyntää Helsingin kaupungin palauterajapintaa (API:a) keräämällä kaiken palautetiedon yhteen paikkaan. Nimikin on osuva, sillä kaikkihan tiedämme, että palautetta annetaan yleensä vain silloin kun jokin asia mättää pahasti ja tunnetilakin on sen mukainen.
Suomessa toimii myös Avoindata.fi-palvelu, joka on keskitetty avoimen datan jakelualusta koko Suomen julkishallinnon, organisaatioiden, yritysten ja yksityishenkilöiden avoimille tietoaineistoille. Palvelua ylläpitää Väestörekisterikeskus. EU:n tasolla löytyy myös vastaava palvelu, nimittäin Euroopan unionin tukema Euroopan Dataportaali-palvelu, johon on kerätty Euroopan eri maissa saatavilla olevaa julkisen sektorin informaatiota eli metadataa. Metadatalla tai metatiedolla tarkoitetaan tietoa tiedosta eli sellaista tietoa, joka kuvailee tai määrittää tietoa jostakin tietolähteestä.
Muun muassa näin avointa dataa voidaan kerätä ja haravoida avoimen datan tietopankkeihin, joista sitä voidaan paremmin ottaa hyötykäyttöön erilaisissa sovelluksissa ja visualisoinneissa. Yrityksille data ja datasovellukset tarjoavat oivallisen keinon löytää ja tarttua esimerkiksi erilaisiin kansalaisia koskeviin ongelmakohtiin ja alkaa rakentaa niihin omia ratkaisujaan, joiden pohjalle voi vaikkapa perustaa oman liikeideansa.

Hello, world. A while ago I made a list of history books to read that would take me chronologically from the Big Bang up to the present. I did it on a Word document and haven’t had time to compile the list on Goodreads, but I wanted to post it here as a stopgap for anyone interested. There’s a penchant towards my own heritage, which comes through the United States and Mormonism, with, for instance, at least one biography on every American President (through Obama). But I tried to be broad because as I read these I want to gain a broad understanding not just of history but of different global cultures today; hence so many titles dealing with religion or mythology in general. There’s a smattering of fiction thrown in there where it fits historically, like The Iliad, Divine Comedy, or Uncle Tom’s Cabin, and I have other reading lists dealing with topics like art, music, religion (outside of history, like books about Buddhism or Joseph Campbell essays), and contemporary work in natural sciences/conservation/mass extinction, so by and large books relating to those things don’t appear here, but I still hope it’s useful.

India antitrust body says Reuters story corroborates evidence in probe of Amazon
By Aditya Kalra
4 MIN READ
NEW DELHI (Reuters) - India’s antitrust body on Friday told a court that a Reuters report showing Amazon.com Inc gave preferential treatment to a small group of sellers on its India platform corroborated evidence it had received and which had triggered an investigation of the U.S. e-commerce giant.
Slideshow ( 5 images )
The Competition Commission of India (CCI) announced in January 2020 that it was investigating Amazon and Walmart Inc’s Flipkart following a complaint from a trader group that they were promoting preferred sellers. But the probe into alleged violations of competition law was put on hold as the two firms mounted a court challenge.
While arguing on Friday for restarting the probe, Madhavi Goradia Divan, an Additional Solicitor General of India representing the CCI, read parts of the Reuters report to the judge in the Karnataka High Court, saying it “corroborates what was said” in the original complaint.
The Reuters story, which was published last month, was based on internal Amazon documents dated between 2012 and 2019. It revealed that Amazon for years helped a small number of sellers prosper on its platform, giving them discounted fees and helping one cut special deals with big tech manufacturers.

Amazon did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Divan’s statements in court.
Amazon has said it “does not give preferential treatment to any seller on its marketplace,” and that it “treats all sellers in a fair, transparent, and non-discriminatory manner”.
The CCI’s arguments in the case come after the watchdog this week submitted media clippings, including the Reuters story, as part of its exhibits to the court.
Referring to the Amazon documents cited in the Reuters story, Divan said the CCI’s director general of investigations might call for the documents from the company and examine them.

Indian retailers, who are a crucial part of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s support base, have long alleged that Amazon’s platform largely benefits a few big sellers and that the e-commerce company engages in predatory pricing that harms their businesses. The company says it complies with all Indian laws.
Divan read to the court from the Reuters story for roughly 15 minutes. This included a finding that some 35 of Amazon’s more than 400,000 sellers in India in early 2019 accounted for around two-thirds of its online sales.
She also referred to documents cited in the story that showed Amazon was deeply involved in expanding a big seller on its platform named Cloudtail - in which it has an indirect equity stake - even though it said publicly that Cloudtail gets the same privileges as other vendors.
“Do you do it for all the sellers,” Divan said, referring to Amazon. “These are questions that have to be asked.”
Following publication of the Reuters story, India’s financial-crime fighting agency, the Enforcement Directorate, asked Amazon for information and documents related to its operations in the country, Reuters reported last week.
