[starlightshadowsworld]

In the synopsis for the Fnaf movie we get this line:

"Mike is still haunted by the unsolvable dissappearance of his younger brother more than a decade before."

Which is intresting because of its parallels to the Silver Eyes.

I mean, this was the set up. Except it wasn't Mike's brother that went missing.

It was Charlie's.

Charlie aka Charlotte Emily aka the puppet aka Henry, one of the founders of Freddys, daughter.

Her brother Sammy went missing.

William Afton who in the present day was using the pseudonym Dave Miller to act as a security guard.

Kinda like how Matthew Lilliard is confirmed to be playing William Afton.

And yet appears in the trailer with the plaque, Steve Raglan career councilor on his desk.

It's interesting seeing these two areas of Fnaf collide.

However I do wonder how close they'll get.

Because if you've read the sequel to the Silver Eyes, the twisted ones.

You'll know that it wasn't actually Sammy who went missing.

It was Charlie who was kidnapped and killed by William Afton.

Being remade by her father into an animatronic.

... Several animatronics.

And even if it doesn't follow that.

(Because that's a lot for any 1st movie.

Yeah I said 1 because Matthew Liliard has confirmed to have signed a 3 movie contract with Blum house.

... 3 huh, much like how the Silver Eyes has itself 3 books.)

Having the guy who gave Mike the job in the first place.

Also be the one who kidnapped his brother a decade ago.

Is crazy and I'm here for it.

I do wonder if his brother, Garett will show up in more than just a flashback.

If you get what I mean.

Cos if there's one thing this franchise loves it's a fucked up family reunion.

And maybe this time unlike Sammy we'll figure out what happened to him.

Farkasember

Országos bemutató: 2025. január 16.

Telihold. A rémület valóságos.

            A Blumhouse-tól és Leigh Whannell író-rendezőtől, a hátborzongató modern szörnyfilm, A láthatatlan ember alkotóitól érkezik ez az új, rémisztő fenevad rémálom: a FARKASEMBER.

            Az Arany Glóbusz-jelölt Christopher Abbott (Szegény párák, A 22-es csapdája, Éjjel érkezik) alakítja Blake-et, a San Franciscó-i férjet és apát, aki, miután az apja eltűnik, és halottnak nyilvánítják, megörökli a távoli oregoni vidéki házat, ahol gyermekkorát töltötte. Mivel házassága a befolyásos Charlotte-tal (az Emmy-díjas Julia Garner; Ozark, Az örökösnő álarca mögött) éppen válságos szakaszban van, Blake rábeszéli feleségét, hogy szakadjanak ki a városi környezetből és látogassák meg a birtokot kislányukkal, Gingerrel (Mathilda Firth; Hullraisers, Coma). Ám amikor a család éjnek évadján a házhoz igyekszik, megtámadja őket egy láthatatlan állat, így kétségbeesetten elbarikádozzák magukat odabent, miközben a lény odakint les rájuk. Azonban ahogy múlik az éjszaka, Blake egyre furcsábban viselkedik, átalakul valami felismerhetetlenné, és Charlotte-nak kell eldöntenie, hogy a házban vagy a házon kívül leselkedik rájuk nagyobb veszély…

            A klasszikus Universal szörnyfilm vérfagyasztó újragondolását Whannell rendezte, és Whannell, Corbett Tuck, Lauren Schuker Blum és Rebecca Angelo (Pénzeső) írták. Whannell korábbi filmjei a Blumhouse égisze alatt például A láthatatlan ember, Invisible Man, Upgrade – Javított verzió, és Insidious: A gonosz lélek. A FARKASEMBER producere Jason Blum, a vezető producerei Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner és Whannell.

Aphorisms and quotes about the mother

Quotes and aphorisms on mom Quotes and aphorisms about the mother, ideas and thoughts by different and famous authors on the mom and the great importance of her presence in everyone's life. Mother's Day in most European states, the United States, Japan, Australia and numerous other countries is celebrated on the second Sunday of May; in Spain, Portugal and Hungary on the first Sunday of May; in the Balkan countries on March 8; in many Arab countries the holiday instead falls on the day of the spring equinox. Sigmund Freud said many profound, revealing and often frightening thing about God, and also about Mothers; yet he failed to see the connection between the two. The first God in every baby's life is its mother. She is the Universal Explanation, the Great Protector, the Stern Disciplinarian, the Source of all Wisdom and the Supreme Guide. God was not born of a virgin, but all virgins, male and female, are born of a God. When the growing human child realises, to his sorrow and bewilderment, that his mother is not God, he starts searching for a substitute God: a plain-clothes God or a God in disguise. George Mikes After the end of time, mother, we will find ourselves in the reality that does not exist, in a fictional and mythical world; we will be happy, serene, at peace, and finally we will be able to enjoy what we are not. Carl William Brown Where there is a mother in the home, matters go well. Amos Bronson Alcott On the verge of death he remembered his mother who was waiting for him in the reality that does not exist and almost pleased he consoled himself. Carl William Brown What do girls do who haven't any mothers to help them through their troubles? Louisa May Alcott Children and mothers never truly part; bound in the beating of each other’s heart. Charlotte Gray I am sure that if the mothers of various nations could meet, there would be no more wars. E. M. Forster A mother who is really a mother is never free. Honore De Balzac My wife is the kind of girl who will not go anywhere without her mother, and her mother will go anywhere. John Barrymore The mother's heart is the child's schoolroom. Henry Ward Beecher Be kind to your mother-in-law, but pay for her board at some good hotel. Josh Billings From now on I want to imagine death as a tender and affectionate mother who with extreme love, smiling and holding me at her breast for all eternity, instead of giving me life will take it away forever. Carl William Brown The best thing that could happen to motherhood already has. Fewer women are going into it. Victoria Billings The Holy Virgin is the universal essence of woman, she is the divine symbol of the mother par excellence, she is the spirit of life and love who endures and resists pain, suffering and death, to make the memory of her children immortal. Carl William Brown You do not really understand something unless you can explain it to your grandmother. Albert Einstein There are so many times you will feel you have failed, but in the eyes, heart and mind of your child, you are supermom. Stephanie Precourt A mother is not a person to lean on, but a person to make leaning unnecessary. Dorothy Canfield Fisher When a woman is twenty, a child deforms her; when she is thirty, he preserves her; and when forty, he makes her young again. Leon Blum Let France have good mothers, and she will have good sons. Napoleon Bonaparte

My Mom Innocenza Literature and art, as well as memory and memories, are the only places where we can revive our dear and beloved deceased. They are sad palliatives that unfortunately will never give me back the emotions and comfort of my mother's smile. Carl William Brown Women know the way to rear up children (to be just). They know a simple, merry, tender knack of tying sashes, fitting baby-shoes, and stringing pretty words that make no sense. And kissing full sense into empty words. Elizabeth Barrett Browning Some are kissing mothers and some are scolding mothers, but it is love just the same - and most mothers kiss and scold together. Pearl S. Buck The kind of power mothers have is enormous. Angela Carter There are lots of things that you can brush under the carpet about yourself until you're faced with somebody whose needs won't be put off. Angela Carter For Eliot, April is the cruelest month, and I agreed, in fact my father died in April, but then my mother passed away in October, so now the cruelest months are certainly two. Carl William Brown The chain of wedlock is so heavy that it takes two to carry it - and sometimes three. Alexandre (the Younger) Dumas For that's what a woman, a mother wants - to teach her children to take an interest in life. She knows it's safer for them to be interested in other people's happiness than to believe in their own. Marguerite Duras As my mom always said, ‘You’d rather have smile lines than frown lines.’ Cindy Crawford Some mothers are kissing mothers and some are scolding mothers, but it is love just the same, and most mothers kiss and scold together. Pearl S. Buck No culture on earth outside of mid-century suburban America has ever deployed one woman per child without simultaneously assigning her such major productive activities as weaving, farming, gathering, temple maintenance, and tent-building. The reason is that full-time, one-on-one child-raising is not good for women or children. Barbara Ehrenreich Take motherhood: nobody ever thought of putting it on a moral pedestal until some brash feminists pointed out, about a century ago, that the pay is lousy and the career ladder nonexistent. Barbara Ehrenreich A mother's yearning feels the presence of the cherished child even in the degraded man. George Eliot But the mother's yearning, that completest type of the life in another life which is the essence of real human love, feels the presence of the cherished child even in the debased, degraded man. George Eliot The lullaby is the spell whereby the mother attempts to transform herself back from an ogre to a saint. James Fenton See also It's not over when you lose, but when you end it. Unknown The mother as a social servant instead of a home servant will not lack in true mother duty. From her work, loved and honored though it is, she will return to her home life, the child life, with an eager, ceaseless pleasure, cleansed of all the fret and fraction and weariness that so mar it now. Charlotte P. Gillman

Quotes on mom Moms should never die, they should disappear and then appear when you need to see them again, even just for a moment. Valeria Fabrizi Mother is a verb. It’s something you do. Not just who you are. Cheryl Lacey Donovan A mother’s arms are more comforting than anyone else’s. Princess Diana Morality and its victim, the mother - what a terrible picture! Is there indeed anything more terrible, more criminal, than our glorified sacred function of motherhood? Emma Goldman The patience of a mother might be likened to a tube of toothpaste – it’s never quite all gone. Author Unknown Death freed my father and mother from their evils and imprisoned me even more in mine. Carl William Brown When I was a child, my mother said to me, ‘If you become a soldier, you’ll be a general. If you become a monk you’ll end up as the pope.’ Instead I became a painter and wound up as Picasso. Pablo Picasso Only after losing your mother forever can you understand the essence of true love and the excruciating pain of life passing away. Carl William Brown A mother is the one who is still there when everyone else has deserted you. Author Unknown You realize that you habitually thought of Mom when something in your life was not going well, because when you thought of her it was as though something got back on track, and you felt re-energized. Shin Kyung Sook No influence is so powerful as that of the mother. Sarah Josepha Hale A man’s work is from sun to sun, but a mother’s work is never done. Author Unknown Every man must define his identity against his mother. If he does not, he just falls back into her and is swallowed up. Camille Paglia He that would the daughter win must with the mother first begin. English Proverb A mother understands what a child does not say. Jewish Proverb God couldn't be everywhere, so he created mothers Jewish Proverb Men are what their mothers made them. Ralph Waldo Emerson

My mom when she was 20 All that remains to the mother in modern consumer society is the role of scapegoat; psychoanalysis uses huge amounts of money and time to persuade analysis and to foist their problems on to the absent mother, who has no opportunity to utter a word in her own defense. Hostility to the mother in our societies is an index of mental health. Germaine Greer The moments of happiness... We have had the experience of them, but the meaning has escaped us, as Eliot said. Or rather, we didn't realize it, so life passed by and in the end all I was left with was the pain of losing my dearest person, my mother. Carl William Brown Woman is the salvation or the destruction of the family. She carries its destiny in the folds of her mantle. Henri Frederic Amiel A mother’s arms are made of tenderness and children sleep soundly in them. Victor Hugo If at first you don’t succeed, do it the way your mother told you to. Author Unknown One good mother is worth a hundred schoolmasters. George Herbert The tie which links mother and child is of such pure and immaculate strength as to be never violated. Washington Irving A mother’s love is patient and forgiving when all others are forsaking, it never fails or falters, even though the heart is breaking. Helen Rice A man never sees all that his mother has been to him until it's too late to let her know he sees it. William Dean Howells Life began with waking up and loving my mother’s face. George Eliot Being a mom has made me so tired. And so happy. Tina Fey Behind every successful man is a proud wife and a surprised mother-in-law. Hubert H. Humphrey Whatever else is unsure in this stinking dunghill of a world a mother's love is not. James Joyce The watchful mother tarries nigh, though sleep has closed her infants eyes. John Keble Of all the rights of women, the greatest is to be a mother. Yutang, Lin All that I am or hope to be, I owe to my angel mother. Abraham Lincoln

Quotes and aphorisms on mothers My father and my mother are no longer with us, but their spirit lives in me, and therefore is still alive, except that I am already dead. Carl William Brown It seems to me that the nursing mother of most false opinions - both public and private - is the excessively high opinion one places on oneself. Michel Eyquem De Montaigne Anyone who doesn't miss the past never had a mother. Gregory Nunn Maternity is on the face of it an unsociable experience. The selfishness that a woman has learned to stifle or to dissemble where she alone is concerned, blooms freely and unashamed on behalf of her offspring. Emily James Putnam There is no way to be a perfect mother, and a million ways to be a good one. Jill Churchill Whenever I’m with my mother, I feel as though I have to spend the whole time avoiding land mines. Amy Tan, The Kitchen God’s Wife Few misfortunes can befall a boy which bring worse consequences than to have a really affectionate mother. W. Somerset Maugham The Enemy, who wears her mother's usual face and confidential tone, has access; doubtless stares into her writing case and listens on the phone. Phyllis McGinley It seems to me that the nursing mother of most false opinions - both public and private - is the excessively high opinion one places on oneself. Michel Eyquem De Montaigne When I stopped seeing my mother with the eyes of a child, I saw the woman who helped me give birth to myself. Nancy Friday Women’s natural role is to be a pillar of the family. Grace Kelly I know how to do anything – I’m a mom. Rosanne Barr A busy mother makes slothful daughters. Portuguese Proverb An ounce of mother is worth a pound of clergy. Spanish Proverb If Freud had had my mother's dreams at his disposal, he would have become even greater than he was. Carl William Brown Think of your mother and smile for all of the good precious moments.” Ana Monnar

Aphorisms and quotes on the mother A mother understands what a child does not say. Jewish proverb Mother is a verb. It’s something you do. Not just who you are. Cheryl Lacey Donovan A mother loves her children even when they least deserve to be loved. Kate Samperi As her sons have seen her: the mother in patriarchy: controlling, erotic, castrating, heart-suffering, guilt-ridden, and guilt-provoking; a marble brow, a huge breast, an avid cave; between her legs snakes, swamp-grass, or teeth; on her lap a helpless infant or a martyred son. She exists for one purpose: to bear and nourish the son. Adrienne Rich The worker can unionize, go out on strike; mothers are divided from each other in homes, tied to their children by compassionate bonds; our wildcat strikes have most often taken the form of physical or mental breakdown. Adrienne Rich Mother – that was the bank where we deposited all our hurts and worries. T. DeWitt Talmage A little girl, asked where her home was, replied, “where mother is.” Keith L. Brooks I never knew how much love my heart could hold until someone called me “mommy.” Author Unknown Mother’s love is peace. It need not be acquired, it need not be deserved. Erich Fromm Mothers are all slightly insane. J.D. Salinger That best academy, a mother’s knee. James Russell Lowell Setting a good example for your children takes all the fun out of middle age. William Feather Education commences at the mother’s knee, and every word spoken within hearsay of little children tends toward the formation of character. Hosea Ballou In a child’s eyes, a mother is a goddess. She can be glorious or terrible, benevolent or filled with wrath, but she commands love either way. I am convinced that this is the greatest power in the universe. N. K. Jemisin I love my mother as the trees love water and sunshine — she helps me grow, prosper and reach great heights. Terri Guillemets A mother’s love liberates. Maya Angelou Biological possibility and desire are not the same as biological need. Women have childbearing equipment. For them to choose not to use the equipment is no more blocking what is instinctive than it is for a man who, muscles or no, chooses not to be a weightlifter. Betty Rollin Only in America do these peasants, our mothers, get their hair dyed platinum at the age of sixty, and walk up and down Collins Avenue in Florida in pedal pushers and mink stoles - and with opinions on every subject under the sun. It isn't their fault they were given a gift like speech - look, if cows could talk, they would say things just as idiotic. Philip Roth Apart from my mother, women have always encouraged me to deepen my knowledge of the profound illogicality of existence. Carl William Brown A mother holds her children’s hands for a while…their hearts forever. Author Unknown

Quotes and ideas on mothers There was never a great man who had not a great mother. Olive Schreiner Mothers are the most instinctive philosophers. Harriet Beecher Stowe Mother is the name for God on the lips and in the hearts of little children. William M. Thackeray My mother had a great deal of trouble with me, but I think she enjoyed it. Mark Twain A Freudian slip is when you say one thing but mean your mother. Author Unknown There’s no way to be a perfect mother and a million ways to be a good one. Jill Churchill Acceptance, tolerance, bravery, compassion. These are the things my mom taught me. Lady Gaga Most mothers are instinctive philosophers. Harriet Beecher Stowe My mother’s menu consisted of two choices: Take it or leave it. Buddy Hackett My mother always said I was beautiful and I finally believed her at some point. Lupita Nyong’o A mother's heart is always with her children. Author Unknown Mother weaves her loving art and leaves her magic in our hearts. Author Unknown Mother-in-law: A woman who destroys her son-in-law's peace of mind by giving him a piece of hers. Author Unknown Men never think, at least seldom think, what a hard task it is for us women to go through this very often. God's will be done, and if He decrees that we are to have a great number of children why we must try to bring them up as useful and exemplary members of society. Queen Victoria How simple a thing it seems to me that to know ourselves as we are, we must know our mother's names. Alice Walker My mother is my root, my foundation. She planted the seed that I base my life on, and that is the belief that the ability to achieve starts in your mind. Michael Jordan Mothers work, not upon canvas that shall perish, nor marble that crumbles into dust, but upon mind, upon spirit, which is to last forever, and which is to bear, for good or evil, throughout its duration, the impress of a mother's plastic hand. George Washington The best place to cry is on a mother’s arms. Jodi Picoult It is not until you become a mother that your judgment slowly turns to compassion and understanding.

Award shines a spotlight on local science journalism

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/award-shines-a-spotlight-on-local-science-journalism/

Award shines a spotlight on local science journalism

Local reporting is a critical tool in the battle against disinformation and misinformation. It can also provide valuable data about everything from environmental damage derived from questionable agribusiness practices to the long-term effects of logging on communities. 

Reporting like this requires more than just journalistic chops. It needs a network that can share these important stories, access to readers, and financial support. That’s why organizations like the Knight Science Journalism Program at MIT and its Victor K. McElheny Award are important. 

Founded in 2018 with a gift from Knight Science Journalism (KSJ) Program founding director Victor McElheny and his wife, Ruth McElheny, the KSJ Victor K. McElheny Award rewards local science journalists for their pioneering work and their stories’ impacts. 

“The prize can help illustrate a continuing contribution to the maximum level of public understanding of what technology and science are achieving, and what these achievements imply for humanity,” McElheny says.

The award comes with a $10,000 prize.

“Local science journalism has value, in part, because consolidation in this sector has meant fewer journalists and a shrinking pool of resources with which to do this important work,” notes editor Cathy Clabby, a Knight Science Journalism Fellowship Program alumna (2008). Clabby was part of the team at The Charlotte Observer and The Raleigh News and Observer that earned the McElheny Award in 2023 for its poultry farm investigation. 

“The award demonstrated a commitment to high journalistic standards,” Clabby says.

These journalistic standards and the accompanying national recognition for awardees can lend further legitimacy to long-form science journalism. 

Features and outcomes

Additionally, while some news outlets are starved of the resources necessary to produce deeply-researched, high-quality stories, receiving the McElheny Award can help raise the visibility of small and nonprofit newsrooms, which can help with circulation, operating expenses, and fundraising.

“The award has a very real value to our audience, especially as we develop our digital subscriber model,” notes journalist Tony Bartelme, one of several Charleston Post and Courier reporters whose feature on the Gulf Stream won the inaugural award in 2019. “If readers see this kind of national recognition, they’re more likely to see the value of subscribing.”

“The financial element of the award is certainly a delightful surprise, particularly for a team project like this with a small budget,” says journalist Aaron Scott, whose team at Oregon Public Broadcasting won for its “Timber Wars” podcast series in 2021. “It filled me with joy getting to tell my colleagues they’d be getting bonus checks in the mail.”

Deborah Blum — the Pulitzer Prize-winning director of the Knight Science Journalism Program and founder of Undark Magazine — argues that local and regional journalists play a central role in promoting science literacy and critical thinking skills among their readers. Blum describes an information ecosystem worthy of preservation, with local science journalism acting as a fundamental building block of public consciousness and shared understanding. 

“Science stories told by reporters in the home community, known and trusted by their neighbors, have a special ability to reach readers and listeners,” Blum says.

Value, vision, and recognition

Storytelling has value beyond views, clicks, and shares, according to McElheny Award winners. 

“An informed electorate helps ensure a functional and accountable government,” Clabby asserts.

Journalists point to the skills necessary to produce thoughtful, reasoned stories that can impact readers, communities, and other journalists as valuable assets for creating powerful pieces.

“Science journalism is hard to do because it takes time to wade through it all and understand the science with enough depth to tell the story properly,” Bartelme says. “But, what’s more important than a planet on fire?”

Further, recognition from their peers can serve as validation for what can sometimes become months of research and reporting to produce such important stories.

“Recognition [as evidenced by] the Victor K. McElheny Award is deeply rewarding,” Scott believes, “because it means some of our most accomplished and thoughtful peers are listening to, reading, and thinking deeply about a story we’ve invested so much in telling.”

Outcomes and impacts

The Victor K. McElheny Award for Local Science Journalism confers national recognition on journalists performing a critical function in producing an informed electorate. Local science journalism can have lasting impacts on readers, apprise audiences of advances and challenges related to science and technology, and help secure funding for current and future efforts.

“Fact-based journalism has value for audiences,” Clabby says.

Scott, noting the value of balanced science reporting, described science journalism as “both more important, and more under threat by politicization, than ever before.”

“The McElheny Award is really the only award that celebrates science stories that reach this important audience,” Bartelme concludes. “Local journalists have a special and often more intimate relationship with readers than national organizations.”

Released 32 years ago, Nirvana's second album changed the history of rock and gave shape to a post-adolescent disenchantment that continues today, through the hands of artists like Billie Eilish.

32 years since "Nevermind": when Nirvana changed rock history with post-adolescent disenchantment

"Nevermind" hit stores on September 24, 1991. "It was an album that left old hard rock, the fashionable rock at the time, superficial, misogynistic and less intense", French music journalist Charlotte Blum, author from a book about the grunge movement. In fact, Guns N'Roses' double album, "Use Your Illusion I & II", released just a week earlier, felt much older.

Musically, the explosion was total, with "In Bloom" and "Come As You Are", which for North American music critic Alex Ross oscillate "between meditation and struggle". A mix of calm and storm that emerged in the studio of Butch Vig, music producer and drummer who would later form Garbage.

For another rock critic, Frenchman Nicolas Dupuy, it is a synthesis between "Black Sabbath and Beatles".

Although three decades later "Nevermind" is also in the news for negative reasons (the baby on the cover sued Nirvana at the end of August for child pornography), rock was never the same after the single "Smells Like Teen Spirit", whose The video clip was shown relentlessly on MTV, "the reference media at the time", says Blum.

"HBO of Music"

"'Nevermind' inaugurated grunge, it achieved its objective", says Dupuy. The members of Nirvana (Cobain, Dave Groh and Krist Novoselic) only hoped that sales would allow them to pay the bills, but the album dethroned "Dangerous", Michael Jackson's eighth studio album, from first place in the sales charts.

This movie is already better than all the versions of the TV series. I've seen reruns of three original, I've seen 2 episodes of the newest one. And virtually nothing of the Malcolm McDowell one.

Negative reviews be damned. I'm 30 minutes in and I like it.

Boss! Boss! De lame, it’s de lame! Fantasy Island (2020) #Review A frothy, fantasy series from the late seventies/ early eighties may seem like an odd choice for a 2020 horror revival but when has that ever stopped Blumhouse, the McDonalds Of Horror™, from hoovering up an IP and then figuring it out afterwards.

hidden by Julius: Diane holding Liz’s hand

just kidding the reason I posted this is the continued physical positioning of Diane and Liz as a team, like whether Diane wanted this or not she took actions to get them here and she and Liz are the only ones who know

(Diane, Liz, Adrian, Julius, and Jay reacting to Roland pounding on the wall. The name partners are standing; Diane and Liz are in close physical proximity, while Adrian has turned the other way and Roland, though outside the room, is visible between Liz and Adrian)
