I've never heard of Max Steel! What's it about? 👀

You have no idea what you’ve unleashed 😂

So, Max Steel, specifically the 2013 reboot (the original and the reboot are two very different things) is a CGI cartoon that goes over the superheroic adventures of Maxwell ‘Max’ McGrath and his alien buddy Steel.

I’m gonna try not to spoil too much in case you want to watch it as spoiler-free as possible.

So, Max has a superpower known as TURBO energy, which is super powerful and he generates the stuff. He actually generates too much of it, as, without Steel to help him regulate it, he would probably turn Copper Canyon (the city he lives in) into a smoking crater (I might be wrong, but not by much). With Steel, however, Max has some very cool (buy our toys driven) TURBO modes, which are different armors that Steel creates; there’s Strength Mode, Flight Mode, Speed Mode, and so many more.

Together, along with the organization called N-Tek, they fight various bad guys who want to take over the world.

I’m a big fan of the first two seasons, but after that, the quality started taking a nosedive. Wrath of Makino, Dawn of Morphos, and Maximum Morphos are the dying gasp for the actually good stuff in my opinion. After that comes Team Turbo, Team Turbo Fusion-Tek, Turbo Charged, and Turbo-Warriors.

You can find it on YouTube, and there’s at least one other site, but I stopped using it after it downloaded stuff on my computer without my consent (so not cool).

If you start watching, I am SO AVAILABLE to talk about it, and I hope this helped and that you enjoy!

Sparks - Tryouts For The Human Race (Chicago, November 7 2013)

[batsplat]

Thank you for typing all that out!!!! I was like they had beef??? But it makes sense. I was listening to Casey on the gypsy tale podcast, he mentioned how he was envious of Marc/Vale who had no fear of the track. Makes sense that Marc - the limit of the bike is when I crash - and him would clash even if it wasn't malicious or personal.

(about this) haha no problem! and yeah for sure I don't think it's anything particularly malicious and it's not even BEEF as much as a low-level grudge, the kind of thing that naturally bubbles up when you have athletes' egos existing within a team structure. though I do think the stuff you mention (ie marc's approach to the sport) is something that never did become much of an issue between the two of them, but only because... well they weren't on-track rivals

ofc that's one of motogp's biggest 'what ifs' - what if we'd actually seen casey and marc compete - so none of this is particularly original, but, look, it's a fun one to discuss! casey's for the most part been pretty schtum about marc's actual races and various controversies, but has on occasion mentioned not necessarily being the biggest fan of marc's approach, eg (from 2013):

the "humiliate them" bit is most interesting to me - does feel a similar vibe to some of his complaints about valentino's propensity for mind games. the implications of marc wanting to humiliate opponents would be that for marc, it's not just about just wanting to win, it's about what effect he's having on rivals, about wanting to mess with them

so I - like everyone else - can only IMAGINE what it would've been like if casey had actually had to live the full marc marquez experience. it's a respectful relationship irl because it's a rivalry that never actually got to play out, so casey doesn't have any real motivation to criticise marc much beyond low stakes honda hijinks. and marc probably would have enjoyed getting the chance to race casey, but from casey's side? eh

obviously casey's issues with valentino's riding standards are pretty well-documented (as well as his issues with other rivals, including a younger jorge) (and various somewhat less significant figures, like him and his buddy in 125cc giving alex de angelis the truly terrible nickname of 'alex dangerous'. casey please). marc is relentlessly aggressive in a way casey would not have enjoyed at all, and would've also objected to on grounds of principle. the fearlessness thing you mention from that very very long podcast episode is interesting to me, because yes casey would have liked to emulate that in some ways... but he does also have his issues with riders who ride without fear to the extent that they don't care about their own safety. from his autobiography, explaining his increasing disillusionment with MotoGP:

The most fitting tribute to [Simoncelli's] memory shouldn't have been a plaque by the side of the track where he lost his life, but a real change in the way riders respect each other and respect the limits. Unfortunately, I don't feel that this happened. I have always been very aware of what can happen in this sport, which is why I have always shown respect to my fellow racers. You might not like the person next to you on the grid but you have to be aware that if an accident happens, anyone can be hurt or killed. Sometimes young riders are so desperate to win that they forget what's most important. They get built up so much that they start to believe the hype, they feel invincible. Nobody is, especially in bike racing. And if a rider doesn't care about his own safety then it stands to reason he doesn't care about anybody else's either. Don't get me wrong, MotoGP is as safe as it has ever been in terms of the gravel traps, circuit layouts and rider equipments, but the fact that certain riders were still putting others at risk even after Marco's death bothered me a lot.

which, yup, can't see casey being a fan of marc. he's got some very ironclad beliefs when it comes to riding standards and the importance of rivals respecting each other and what that looks like on track in terms of hard racing - it's just an outlook and approach that would always have clashed with marc's. (also, yeah, like casey admits, it does just scare him! laguna seca 2008 wasn't fun for him because he was worried about his safety! which is entirely understandable, but I can't imagine if that's the case he'd feel particularly comfortable or indeed safe racing marc marquez.) on marc's side, even in 2013 he was pretty good at shrugging off these kind of critiques from his rivals, including ofc from dani and especially jorge that year. so maybe it'd be mostly one-way antipathy, but probably not all that pleasant for anyone involved. livio suppo said back in 2020 that casey would've suffered a lot from marc's personality, and also in 2023 said this:

I don't really agree with suppo about 2008 and it does lean into the frustrating trope (which casey also chafed against in his autobiography) that seeks to explain all of casey's struggles and defeats by what was going on in his head. like, I do think he would've done a good job fighting marc! he would've won plenty of their duels, even when they were fighting wheel-to-wheel! he did say repeatedly after laguna seca 2008 that if something like that happened again, he wouldn't roll over for valentino (unfortunately we never really had the chance to properly test this but oh well)! he just wouldn't have enjoyed it, which is kinda why he retired in the first place

basically, they respect each other just fine because they never had the chance to fight on track. if they HAD fought on track, things would've inevitably been more fraught, not least because of their very different approaches to racing, as well as how by marc's own admission he's an asshole as a teammate. that difference in approaches is where the 'fearlessness' of marc comes in, and not in a good way for that relationship. who knows how it would have all turned out

just one more thing - marc is actually asked about the "he wants to humiliate them" quote in a presser, but unfortunately the question is formulated in a kinda messy way so marc doesn't really end up directly addressing the comments. though my guess is at least one person present understood exactly what casey was getting at:

Anthony Bourdain was born on June 25, 1956, in New York City.  

Bourdain Day  

The life, legacy, and birthday of world-traveling culinarian and  storyteller Anthony Bourdain is celebrated today. Created by José Andrés  and Eric Ripert, fellow chefs and friends of Bourdain, who announced it  with a video, Bourdain Day is celebrated with the sharing of tributes and memories of Anthony Bourdain.

Bourdain achieved rockstar status—a rare feat for a cook—and his  suicide in 2018 devastated his fans, who felt a strong connection to  him. He traveled the world and ate food in just about any location  possible. In the process, he demonstrated the power of a shared meal to  bring people together, the diversity of cuisines and cultures, and also,  in contrast, that no matter where people are from, they very much are  alike. He was a storyteller and explorer of the human condition who used  food as his landscape. His ethos, which drew so many to him, can be  summed up with his own words: "If I'm an advocate for anything, it's to  move. As far as you can, as much as you can. Across the ocean, or simply  across the river. Walk in someone else's shoes or at least eat their  food. It's a plus for everybody."

Anthony Bourdain grew up in Leonia, New Jersey, and began working in kitchens at the age of 13. He later said he learned the most important  lessons of his life as a dishwasher. But addiction took hold of him when  he was in his twenties, and he became hooked on heroin for a time. He  went to Vassar College in New York State for two years before dropping  out and enrolling in culinary school. He then worked as a line cook and  sous chef at a number of restaurants in the Northeast, before becoming  the executive chef at Brasserie Les Halles in Manhattan.

In 1999, after publishing two suspense novels, Bourdain's article "Don't Eat Before Reading This" appeared in The New Yorker,  garnering him some attention. In it he captured kitchen life and the  characters of the underbelly he came across while working there, saying,  "In America, the professional kitchen is the last refuge of the misfit.  It's a place for people with bad pasts to find a new family." The  article set the groundwork for and led to the book Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly, released the following year, which was a best-seller and brought Bourdain widespread fame. Bourdain followed it up with A Cook's Tour: In Search of a Perfect Meal.

Then came television. Four shows over sixteen years brought viewers  to the far corners of the world, where food and conversation underpinned  an exploration of culture. Bourdain's first show, A Cook's Tour, was adapted from his book and aired on the Food Network in 2002 and 2003. Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations debuted on the Travel Channel in 2005. It received over a dozen Emmy Award nominations and had two wins over its nine seasons. The Layover, also on the Travel Channel, aired from 2011 to 2013.

In 2013, Bourdain moved to CNN with Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown.  It won five Emmy Awards and a Peabody Award for "expanding our palates  and horizons in equal measure." Tragically, Bourdain died of suicide on  June 8, 2018, while in France working on an upcoming episode of Parts Unknown. He was 61. Although he is no longer with us, his life and legacy live on in his robust body of work and with Bourdain Day.

How to Observe Bourdain Day

Share  a tribute or memory of Anthony Bourdain along with the hashtag  #BourdainDay. Then you could celebrate his life, legacy, and birthday in  a number of ways:

Read one of his books, such as Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly, A Cook's Tour: In Search of a Perfect Meal, or No Reservations: Around the World on an Empty Stomach.

Read "Don't Eat Before Reading This," the New Yorker article that set him on a path to fame.

Read a book about him.

Watch Remembering Anthony Bourdain.

Watch Roadrunner: A Film About Anthony Bourdain.

Watch episodes of A Cook's Tour, Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations, The Layover, or Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown.

Read remembrances of Bourdain from his fans.

Eat at a place he ate. Visit a place he visited. Read some of his quotes. Above all, move—"As far as you can, as much as you can. Across the ocean, or simply across the river."

Watching the pilot episode of The Mill and why is this actually good so far

[theres-whump-in-that-nebula]

The most uncomfortable feeling ever is watching Sausage Party while eating.

EDIT: Okay ignore the tags. I watched the last 25 minutes of it and they were certainly not as profound as the beginning. I knew there was a food sex scene but holy mother of god

[eyepatchdate]

hey whisp hope you’re doing well! I’m trying to organize notes and things for a writing project and feel like I need a better system to group and visualize my material. is there a particular site, strategy, or program you use for your writing? a timelime with adjustable entry logs would be a gamechanger but I don’t like any of the ones I’ve seen on a superficial search

Hello hello! I am well, I hope you are as well!!

I don't do anything crazy myself, honestly I've tried other things, but I actually do most of my writing, including drafting and notes, just in a single document, even for some of my longer (100k+ stories).

I do have some stories that have multiple docs, but for those just having a file folder with multiple Word documents in it works for me. I use Word 2013 to write, and often will just open two documents side-by-side if I'm doing a rewrite or working off notes. I often put things in notepad as well to have an additional little window. But I, overall, work within a single document and just sorta...roll with it. Most of my organizing is in my head, and then it's in notes that I write in a scatter around the main document for the story.

Also a good old-fashioned bit of pen-and-paper suits me well too, I often write base timelines or draw diagrams physically when necessary. At the end of the day, a timeline is just a bulleted list, which basically any writing program can handle.

That being said, I have tried out a few different writing programs. The types that gamify the writing process never jive with me, and the one I felt was closest to what I want is Scrivner! Scrivner is paid, but there's a trial you can try out. It basically lets you have a bunch of documents related to each other, which makes it easy to write and add notes, and to open things on top of each other and such.

I've also heard decent things about Ellipsus, but haven't looked into it personally myself!

[ggukkiedae]

Hi I just want to know if you still going continue yoonmi timeline etc cuz I love her I like how realistic the timeline it is felt like she actually real I love the way you did it And it got me so invested that I want more but you taking a break from writing it okay I can wait how ever long it take💜

hiiii! thank you so much, bub! i'm actually just getting back from my break, sooooo you can expect me to continue the timeline! my goal this 2024 is to finally catch up to recent times given my girls are all still in 2018 😅

Anthony Bourdain was born on June 25, 1956, in New York City.  

Bourdain Day  

Bourdain Day celebrates a chef, storyteller, and traveler who taught us to dig deeper than flavor.

The day honors Anthony Bourdain, born June 25th, and it highlights the way he used food to bring people together across cultures.

Friends and fellow chefs Eric Ripert and José Andrés created this tribute not just to mark his birthday, but to carry forward his belief that sharing a meal builds bridges.

It feels like a warm invitation to gather, listen, and remember someone who inspired curiosity, honesty, and openness.

This tribute matters because he reminded us that food is more than a dish—it’s a gateway to understanding.

Through his shows and writing, he encouraged us to converse, connect, and question. Behind the laughter and the bold flavors lay a call to address life’s tough parts, including his own mental health journey.

On Bourdain Day, people pause to recall his energy, his daring, and his care for others.

It’s a way to honor his courage, and to carry forward his message that meals—and the moments we share around them—can shape how we see the world.

How to Celebrate Bourdain Day

Here are some lively ideas to mark Bourdain Day in ways that honor his spirit:

New‑Taste Adventure

Try a flavor you’ve never had before. Visit that small spot off your usual path.

Explore a local gem. Respect traditions and follow Bourdain’s “Grandma Rule”: be grateful for hospitality.

Raise a Toast

Grab any drink you enjoy. Cheers with friends, family, or solo. Film a short moment and share it online with the hashtag #BourdainDay.

Ripert and Andrés started this simple ritual to connect people everywhere.

Hit an Evening Event

Attend a themed tasting, pop‑up, or multi-course dinner. Seek out gatherings hosted by local chefs or restaurants on that day. These events echo dim kitchen camaraderie and Bourdain’s raw honesty.

Explore a Market

Roam a farmers’ market or local bazaar. Let new sights and aromas lead you. Collect fresh ingredients, chat with vendors, then craft your own meal. This echoes Bourdain’s favorite ritual.

Support Mental-Health Causes

Donate to or volunteer for suicide‑prevention groups. Bourdain’s legacy includes raising awareness about mental well-being. This step brings compassion and action to the day.

History of Bourdain Day

Bourdain Day started in 2019, one year after the passing of Anthony Bourdain. Chefs Eric Ripert and José Andrés, two of his closest friends, created the day to honor his memory.

They chose his birthday for the tribute. It began with a simple idea: raise a glass, say his name, and share a moment of thanks. What started as a quiet gesture between friends quickly grew into something global.

On that first Bourdain Day, people all over the world joined in. They posted photos, told stories, and cooked meals inspired by him. Many shared clips or messages using the hashtag #BourdainDay.

Some gathered in restaurants. Others stayed home and toasted with whatever they had. The energy was honest and heartfelt, much like Bourdain himself.

That same year, the Culinary Institute of America created a travel scholarship in his honor. The fund helps students explore food and culture beyond their home country. It reflects his belief that travel, curiosity, and conversation can change lives.

Now, every year, people continue the tradition. Some cook. Some remember. Some talk about mental health. However, they choose to mark the day, the spirit stays the same—open-minded, brave, and full of heart.

[reasonsforhope]

it feels like several countries (not just the US) have completely abandoned the idea of less carbon emissions this month. Is there any good news from this month about countries choosing the opposite?

You caught me at a good time, I actually just finished reading a newsletter (from the excellent Fix the News) that mentions a few.

From their newsletter, February 27, 2025 (heads up these might only be in the premium edition, though):

"Germany, once a notorious polluter, cracks down on cars and achieves clean air. Germany complies with all EU air pollutant limits for first time since standards were set in 2010, with nitrogen dioxide finally joining particulate matter in meeting thresholds across 600 monitoring stations nationwide. Even Munich's infamous pollution hotspot dropped below the 40 μg/m³ limit following years of court battles that triggered speed reductions and vehicle modernization." Heise

"Japan raises emissions targets, aims for 60% cut by 2035. Japan has pledged to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 60% from 2013 levels within the next decade, aligning with the 1.5°C global goal and a net zero target by 2050, according to government officials. Japan plans to reduce fossil fuel use by 30-40% by 2040, with renewables like solar and wind expected to provide 40-50% of electricity. The plan marks meaningful progress for the country, which relied on fossil fuels for 70% of its power in 2023." The Press

And there's a lot happening in the US too, believe it or not:

"US states hit the ground running on renewables. Wind and solar are expected to meet nearly 50% of power demand in Texas this spring, in Minnesota the state’s largest utility just announced plans to reach carbon-free targets by 2035, and 48 days into 2025, fossil gas use for electricity in California is down almost 28%, while battery use is up 78%."
