If you haven’t read The Poppy War trilogy yet, I am begging you to read it
“...it’s important to understand how The Poppy War draws from history and East Asian culture. “In my opinion, there are two ways to read TPW trilogy. The first is to read it as any other fantasy novel, and the second is through an analytical lens and understanding of the history it discusses. This is a series that has touched the hearts of many Asian readers, especially children of diaspora because it takes the stories we’ve listened to growing up and weaves them into an epic fantasy.
“Kuang’s writing allows us to feel seen while respectfully exploring the darkest moments in our culture’s history. Today’s blog post is dedicated to condensing the history the series analyzes and spotlighting the small Easter eggs of our culture the book includes. If you’re looking for a book with romance and a happy ending, this isn’t it. I would actually discourage you from reading this book because you’re better off picking up something else. At its core, The Poppy War trilogy is an unfiltered look at the brutality of violence war and how its aftermath leaves a lasting effect on generations. “Trigger/Content Warnings: war, drug use, substance addiction, self-harm, racism, misogyny, genocide, bullying, abandonment, abuse, animal death, animal cruelty, torture, murder of children and adults, rape, mutilation, human experimentation” from: https://readbytiffany.com/2020/11/15/everything-you-need-to-know-before-you-read-the-poppy-war-by-r-f-kuang/

flames of war
I was hoping to go out this fine Halloween weekend to drive around, but being sick and all means that I did the safe thing and stayed in. I don’t have anything serious, as far as I can tell, monitoring my symptoms. It boils down to an irritating combination of cold symptoms, a headache, and how exhausted I was mentally and physically from work and other matters.  At most, now that the worst of it has passed, I’m just sneezing every hour or so and my nose is still stuffy as hell. Everything else has gone.
Still, it was good to have that reprieve from everything. I’m still tired, but I’ve been resting up quite a bit. The break from everything gave me a generous amount of time to dive into stories, which is about my favorite pastime along with writing and enjoying music. I made a concentrated effort to finish The Dragon Republic since the final novel in the trilogy comes out in November.
As The Poppy War made me feel, TDR also haunts me in the same kind of way at a way it can be a portrait into humans during war. Rin continues to be someone driven by motivations that are quite humane and underlines how she can commit choices that would be essentially war crimes. What TDR expands on though is that we’re given insight to those motivations across the board for all the characters, including her enemies and those she calls allies at one point. It’s also a well-written story about war and several core characters. For once, we start to understand why the Empress chose what she did, after having felt Rin’s rage at her for most of the novel. It’s a poetic insight into the kind of shamanism Rin accepted, because like Daji and her friends, she had done it for her nation and her people. 
The novel also succeeds in turning on its head on what Rin expects to be her enemy to an overhaul about how everyone, even those she’s allied with, are motivated by means that are entirely selfish. It also successfully introduces how the Hesperian colonialism is quite truthfully, the biggest enemy out of all of them and how that colonial interference has caused all these conflicts Rin has spent so much of her time fighting. 
TDR feels less graphic than TPW, which I’m slightly grateful for, since TPW touches on an event that is akin to the Rape of Nanking. Though it’s well-written, those particular events made me feel a tad uneasy reading. That event still underlines much of Rin’s motivations in war and how she feels about different nationalities, however, and it was absolutely necessary.
Rin’s not a morally good character, but you can tell there are efforts she made because she wanted to do the right thing by her people. She’s a mixed bag. She’s also at a loss in her own way in this war like anyone else fighting. Even so, I find myself smiling when she has these little moments with her friends and allies around her. The moment when she’s learning how to fly with her flames and Kitay... I think that was probably one of my favorite scenes in TDR. I find Kitay to be something of a guiding moral compass for her, which is why I find him being there to balance and anchor her as significant. 
Rin’s a villain in someone else’s story, much like Su Daji was for her, but she’s just another human doing what she can for her own fight. She’s kind of selfish, but it’s fascinating to read. 
I’m looking forward to seeing how this story ends in the last novel.  TDR does end on a very surprising note, after all. I don’t think there will be any happy ending for these motley crew of kids who were forced to grow up in a war, but one can dream that it’s still a fitting end for them individually.
R.F. Kuang’s crafted another great read in the TDR and I have faith The Burning God will continue in the same vein.

Earth tipped on its side (and back again) in 'cosmic yo-yo' 84 million years ago
Tumblr media Tumblr media
A new study has confirmed a longstanding theory that the Earth’s crust was tilted on its side around 84 million years ago. (Image credit: Shutterstock)
Earth has not always been upright. Turns out, the planet’s crust tipped on its side and back again around 84 million years ago, in a phenomenon that researchers have dubbed a “cosmic yo-yo.” 
The actual name for the tipping is true polar wander (TPW), which occurs when the outer layers of a planet or moon move around its core, tilting the crust relative to the object’s axis. Some researchers had previously predicted that TPW occurred on Earth late in the Cretaceous period, between 145 million and 66 million years ago, but that was hotly debated, according to a statement by the researchers.
However, the new study strongly suggests TPW did occur on Earth. Researchers mapped the ancient movement of Earth’s crust by looking at magnetic-field data trapped inside ancient fossilized bacteria. They found that the planet tilted 12 degrees relative to its axis around 84 million years ago, before fully returning to its original position over the next 5 million years.

“This observation represents the most recent large-scale TPW documented and challenges the notion that the [Earth’s] spin axis has been largely stable over the past 100 million years,” the researchers wrote in their paper, published online June 15 in the journal Nature Communications. 
Cosmic yo-yo 
Earth is made out of four main layers: the solid inner core, the liquid outer core, the mantle and the crust. During TPW, the entire planet would appear turned over on its side, but in reality only the outermost layers have moved. 
“Imagine looking at Earth from space, TPW would look like the Earth tipping on its side,” co-author Joe Kirschvink, a geobiologist at the Tokyo Institute of Technology in Japan and a professor at the California Institute of Technology, said in the statement. “What’s actually happening is that the whole rocky shell of the planet [the mantle and crust] is rotating around the liquid outer core.”
During TPW the Earth’s crust rotates around the outer core, but the planet’s axis and magnetic field remains the same.  (Image credit: Victor C. Tsai/Wikimedia Commons)
Individual pieces of Earth’s outermost layers are constantly moving and changing as tectonic plates collide together and subduct underneath one another; but during TPW, the outer layers move together as a single unit.
As a result, the tilt in Earth’s crust would not have resulted in any major tectonic activity or drastic changes to major ecosystems. Instead, it would have been a gradual process that would not have impacted the dinosaurs and other living things walking around on the surface.
Earth’s electromagnetic field would have been static during the TPW because it is created by the liquid inner core, which would have stayed in place. So rather than the magnetic poles moving, it is the geographic poles that start to wander. 
Fossilized magnets 
To test if Earth did undergo TPW during the Cretaceous, the researchers turned to magnetic minerals within limestone deposits in Italy. 
“These Italian sedimentary rocks turn out to be special and very reliable because the magnetic minerals are actually fossils of bacteria that formed chains of the mineral magnetite,” co-author Sarah Slotznick, a geobiologist at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire, said in the statement.

Magnetite is a highly magnetic form of iron-oxide. Some types of bacteria can create chains of tiny magnetite crystals, which naturally orient with Earth’s magnetic field at the time of their creation. When these particular bacteria died and were fossilized during the period of TPW, these magnetite chains got locked in place. 
Because Earth’s crust moved during TPW, and not its magnetic field, these magnetic fossils (which remained in surface layers of the planet) revealed how much the crust moved relative to Earth’s magnetic field over time. The team found that Earth’s crust moved a total of almost 25 degrees over a period of 5 million years.
The researchers believe that their findings now settle the question of whether Earth had a TPW during the Cretaceous. 
“It is so refreshing to see this study with its abundant and beautiful paleomagnetic data,” Richard Gordon, a geophysicist at Rice University in Houston who was not involved in the study, said in the statement.

Earth tipped on its side 84 million years ago, new evidence suggests

Earth tipped on its side 84 million years ago, new evidence suggests
Tumblr media
We know that true polar wander (TPW) can occasionally tilt whole planets and moons relative to their axes, but it’s not entirely clear just how often this has happened to Earth.
Now a new study presents evidence of one such tilting event that occurred around 84 million years ago – when dinosaurs still walked the Earth.
Researchers analyzed limestone samples from Italy, dating back to the Late Cretaceous period (100.5 to 65.5 million years ago), looking for evidence of shifts in the magnetic record that would point towards an occurrence of TPW.
Bacteria fossils trapped in the rock, forming chains of the mineral magnetite, offer some of the most convincing evidence yet of true polar wander in the Late Cretaceous – and it may help settle a scientific debate that’s been going on for decades.

How true polar wander looks. (Victor C. Tsai/Wikimedia Commons/Public Domain)
“This observation represents the most recent large-scale TPW documented and challenges the notion that the spin axis has been largely stable over the past 100 million years,” the researchers explain in their paper.
Earth is made up of a solid metal inner core and a liquid metal outer core, with a solid mantle and crust (the surface) moving slowly around on top of the liquid metal. Earth’s magnetic field, generated by the outer core, is recorded in rocks like the ones studied here.
True polar wander is when the geographic poles shift substantially, so the outer wrapping of Earth tilts over. Nothing actually changes in terms of Earth’s magnetic field, but the shifting rocks will record different paleomagnetic data as they move.
That data reveals the distance to the North and South geographic poles, enabling researchers to plot where these poles actually are. A fully vertical field means a rock was at the pole, while a fully horizontal field indicates it was at the equator.
“Imagine looking at Earth from space,” says geologist Joe Kirschvink, from the Tokyo Institute of Technology in Japan. “True polar wander would look like the Earth tipping on its side, and what’s actually happening is that the whole rocky shell of the planet – the solid mantle and crust – is rotating around the liquid outer core.”
Tumblr media
Part of the extraction work. (Ross Mitchell)
According to the study, there was around a 12 degree tilt on Earth around 84 million years ago, which was corrected relatively quickly – within about 5 million years, the equivalent of a “cosmic yo-yo” in the words of the researchers.
What that means is that these rocks – and Italy itself – took a journey towards the equator before tipping back. Another recent study suggests that a similar tilt is underway at the moment, driven by the climate change affecting the planet.
The team says that previous studies hinting that true polar wander didn’t happen during the Late Cretaceous simply didn’t gather enough data from the geological record – something that can’t be said about the latest research.
“That is one reason why it is so refreshing to see this study with its abundant and beautiful paleomagnetic data,” says geophysicist Richard Gordon, from Rice University in Houston, who wasn’t involved in the study.
The research has been published in Nature Communications.

Dave Franco explains why he's done worrying about being in the shadow of his brother James
Samantha Lee Business Insider, AP
"The Disaster Artist" was the first time Dave Franco and his brother James had a substantial amount of screen time together in a movie.
Franco shared how "in character" as Tommy Wiseau his brother was while directing the movie.
He also revealed how losing 20 pounds to play a role in his upcoming Netflix movie, "6 Balloons," led to some physical and emotional problems.
For most of his career Dave Franco has carefully navigated a path that stayed out of the very large wake left by his brother James. The younger Franco slowly found his niche through building credits doing zany comedies like “21 Jump Street” and “Neighbors.” But when his brother came to him about the two making a movie together about the cult classic “The Room,” it was an offer too good to pass up.
“The Disaster Artist” (opening in limited release on Friday and wider the following week) is a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the 2003 low budget movie, “The Room,” which is regarded as one of the worst movies ever made. James directs and also stars as Tommy Wiseau, the bizarre writer-director of “The Room,” while Dave plays Tommy’s best friend and fellow aspiring actor, Greg Sestero, who follows Wiseau on the journey to make “The Room.” Though hilarious at times, the movie’s backbone is the bond the two friends have and it's all pulled off perfectly by the brothers’ performances.
Dave sat down with Business Insider to talk about making this unique buddy comedy with his brother. He also clarified how far James took being "in character" as Wiseau while directing “The Disaster Artist,” and explained what drove him to lose 20 pounds for an upcoming Netflix movie.
Jason Guerrasio: What was it about "The Disaster Artist" that not only made you want to work with your brother but also start a production company with him, Ramona Films?
Dave Franco: When I first started acting I did make a conscious choice to distance myself from him work-wise just because I wanted to paint my own path, not be referred to as James Franco's little brother for the rest of my life. But after a while it just got to the point where I was like "he's my brother and I love him and I respect him," and with “The Disaster Artist” the dynamic between these characters just felt right. I understood these guys. I'm an actor, I understand the struggle of an actor starting out. And I can relate to the idea of how important it is to have an ally and someone who believes in you and encourages you.
In terms of the production company, my brother and I are very drawn toward projects that do feel slightly outside the box. And at the same time are accessible enough that they could draw a slightly wider audience.
Warner Bros
Guerrasio: Starting the production company, did the idea come during production?
Franco: It was during post production when he started to invite me to the edit room. I quickly realized we share a brain and we had this shorthand where we get each other. We really modeled the production around what Seth Rogen has been doing forever. What Judd Apatow does. They create these very collaborative environments where everyone has a say and no one is more powerful that anyone else and the best idea always wins. 
Guerrasio: Did you guys go as far as Seth and Judd go in videotaping the audience's reaction at early screenings to see if a joke didn't land right or something could be tweaked in the edit?
Franco: I don't think they videotaped. And the reason for that is that works best for a full-on comedy. This is very funny at points but in regards to tone it's most similar to something like "Boogie Nights." A bunch of crazy characters in strange circumstances but everyone is playing it as straight as possible and the humor comes from that. During our test screenings we were most concerned if the friendship between Tommy and Greg was playing. That's the core of our story. Because without the friendship it had the potential of just being an extended "SNL" skit. 
Guerrasio: Were you into "The Room" before all of this?
Franco: My brother and I were both pretty late to the game. He actually read Greg Sestero’s book before he even saw "The Room," and he's probably the only person on the planet who did it in that order. But then he reached out to me and said, "If you haven't seen 'The Room' watch it immediately, I think we need to make a movie about it." So at the time I was working in Boston so I watched "The Room" in a hotel room by myself, which is not the right way to watch that movie for the first time. There's so much coming at you need to turn to someone and say, "What the f--- is going on?" So I finished that viewing and just feeling very unsettled, to be honest. But soon after I went to one of the midnight screenings where the audience is throwing stuff at the screen, reciting every line. And I then immediately understood why "The Room" is such a cult movie. Since then I've seen the movie roughly 25 times, which is more than any movie I've seen in existence. [Laughs.]
TPW Films
Guerrasio: I talked to your wife, Alison Brie, for "The Little Hours," and she said you also did the book on tape of Greg's book.
Franco: Yeah. And I would recommend the book on tape for this because it's Greg reading it and he has a great Tommy impersonation. I sat down with Greg a handful of times before we started filming and through production, and one of the things I asked him was during production of "The Room" if he ever thought it had a chance of being a good movie. And he claims that he did not but I don't fully believe him just because as a young actor all you care about is getting on a set. When you're on set you almost have to have this blind optimism and believe that whatever you're working on could be great. Even from the outside everyone can see it's objectively bad. I've been in those scenarios. I've been on set and everything is going smoothly to the point where people were talking about the movie being nominated for awards and I bought into the hype. Then the movie came out and not only was a it not good but it was a full-on piece of sh--. It was probably the worst thing I’ve ever done. It just makes you think about the fact you do anything creative you have to give all of yourself over to the process. There are going to be moments when you question whether or not what you're doing is brilliant or if it's a total disaster.
Guerrasio: Now I'm trying to think back on the movies you've done to figure out which one you think is the worst thing you've ever done.
Franco: [Laughs.]
Guerrasio: Anyway, how did you and James work on the characters? Did you want to rehearse with him before shooting?
Franco: We didn't really rehearse too much beforehand just because his style of filmmaking, like Seth's style, is very loose and improvisational. Yes, we had an incredible script to work off of but we always kept it loose. 
A24
Guerrasio: So going into shooting he gave you no head's up that he would be being in character as Tommy behind the camera as director?
Franco: I don't think he knew. I think he just fell into it and it was just easier to stay in character instead of bouncing back and forth between Tommy and James.
Guerrasio: On the first day was he just James on set?
Franco: No, from day one he was Tommy. There was definitely an adjustment period. He can articulate this better than me, but I do think a huge reason why he did this was because he didn't want to lose the Tommy voice. Yes, he stayed in character while he directed but that didn't mean he adopted Tommy's personality. He was still James but he was doing the Tommy voice. He wasn't a dictator on set. 
Guerrasio: Have you ever gotten into a role in your career where you're so into it it takes a while to snap out of it? 
Franco: I’ve never been the type of actor who comes home at the end of the day and goes, "I can't get rid of my part." But, I have a movie coming out early next year for Netflix called "6 Balloons" where I played a heroin addict and so I lost 20 pounds. 
Guerrasio: For you, that's kind of scary.
Franco: Yeah, I'm not a big guy. So when you lose that much weight it depresses you and I was full-on depressed. I remember at one point my wife saying, "You're not yourself, you're not fun to be around." And I was like, "I'm f---ing starving! What do you want from me?" But on set I also wasn't fun to be around. I wasn't really interacting with anyone. I was in the corner by myself, miserable. That was the most I ever got deep into a character. I'm glad I did it. It was the hardest role I've ever done and it scared the hell out of me but I think that's a good thing as an actor. To go into something that makes you uncomfortable.
Rich Fury/Getty
Guerrasio: Do you feel you could ever do that again?
Franco: Not for a long time. I almost really f---ed up my health. Not to get too dark, I was running all day every day to lose weight and I ended up messing up my knee to the point that when we finished production I had to go to physical therapy for a couple of months.
Guerrasio: I mean, we've heard the stories from Robert De Niro to Christian Bale, of the losing and gaining of weight for roles. I would think for every actor there’s a wonder if you can take it to that limit. 
Franco: I know. And it was very rewarding but I don't need to transform my body like that for a long time. While I was in it I do remember looking at a lot of pictures of Christian Bale throughout his career, he's losing weight or gaining weight, so that was inspiring. [Laughs.] "If he can do this 15 times I can do it once."
Guerrasio: So, back to "The Disaster Artist," what was Tommy and Greg's reaction to the movie when they first saw it?
Franco: They saw an early screening, even before the South by Southwest work-in-progress. We were more nervous about Tommy's reaction than Greg's. They both loved it but after Greg saw it he was so taken by it that he went off and for the next four days wrote an entire script for him and Tommy to star in. So since then they've filmed this new project, called "Best F(r)iends," and little did we know that "The Disaster Artist" is part two of "The Room" trilogy. [Laughs.] 
Guerrasio: Wow. So what's going forward for the production company? Are you going to produce? Direct?
Franco: I can't get into many details but all the projects are all over the place in genre and size of budget. But the unifying aspect of all of them is they do feel unique. I'm having so much fun. As much as I love acting and I hope to be doing it for a long time, it almost feels more natural for me to be a producer. I came into all of this because I'm a fan of movies and I wanted to find any way I could to be a part of it all. I happened to take the acting route but it could have been a million different ways in. Now that I'm producing it's just really fun for me to work with people that I really admire and put people together who I think will work well together. Just having a little more control.
