Ada Pace (1924-2016) aka "Sayonara"

Ada started her career as a motorcycle racer, competing since 1947 in several races and having quite a success. She started racing cars in 1950 and achieved her fist victory the next year, much to the embarrassment of the organizers of the race, who had no protocol on how to award a victory to a woman, yet alone an umarried one. She drove to the podium with her mother sitting next to her, keeping an eye on her daughter in that all-male world. Ada kept on collecting victories, much to the chagrin of her male colleagues, who kept protesting and in one case even refused to be on the podium next to her, because they couldn't fathom standing on a lower step than a woman. On an occasion, other drivers complained that her car was irregular, so the organizer had not only her car, but also the complainers' cars, tested. Ada's car was fine, but the complainers ended up being disqualified... She gained the appreciation of personalities like Enzo Ferrari, the Maserati brothers and Cesare Fiorio, and for all the drivers who were upset about being overtaken by a woman during a race, she had her message: the plate on the back of her car simply read "sayonara", her way to say "let's see you on the finish line".

i'm so emotional right now. the black-and-white colour palette. the mix between ranpo's comic relief antics and the serious tone with recurring mentions death and a child assassin and fukuzawa's bloody past. the opening and ending themes. the way that the opening credits are in the style of the current episode. the theme of escaping your past and finding your path forward and unexpected meetings with people who will become so important to you in the future and the very focus on mysteries which are all exactly what bsd is and always has been about.

Thranduil Thursday.

A beautiful painting I had commissioned by the incredibly talented artist, Kyle Duca. It was all painted by hand with acrylics. It now hangs proudly in the Thranduil corner of my office. Enjoy. 🧝‍♂️💚

I have this problem where even tho I keep replaying re4r I'm not actually becoming any more familiar with the story details etc because every subsequent playthrough I've just gone through it as fast as possible and therefore skipped most if not all of the cutscenes and also I only read all the notes the first time so I'm only really learning it as a very long obstacle course whereas if I had not been able to play it myself I would probably have practically every scene and plot point and line of dialogue on lock by now 💀

re4 really captures a unique cinematic atmosphere in the sense that it feels barely finished in a way only movies really do. like the studio wasnt able to shoot all the footage they needed and the editing team is straining to the breaking point to cover the missing pieces and make it kind of come across as a complete product

Era il primo tentativo di radunare volontari civili che avrebbero dovuto appoggiare la difesa dai tedeschi

L’andamento disastroso della guerra 1940-1943 iniziata con l’attacco ad una Francia già invasa dall’esercito tedesco, che costò all’esercito italiano un alto numero di perdite e feriti rivelando in poco tempo i limiti del potenziale bellico italiano <7, proseguì con le sconfitte subite in Africa, nei Balcani e sul fronte russo. Ben presto emergeva sul piano militare, economico e anche politico…
