Hi!! I don't know if anyone has drawn this before (sorry if they have!! I couldn't find any evidence of it) but I have recently been plagued with the question of "what if Machete and Vasco were in Bluey?"

Well. Now we know.

To my knowledge, the only Bluey dogs who wear clothes are the ones in uniforms. TECHNICALLY Machete's outfit could count, but I left it out because it's not typical of a main character. He must be naked 😔

ALBUM REVIEW: Sŵn o’r Stafell Arall by Hyll

Sŵn o’r Stafell Arall, the latest offering from Hyll, is an album that dives into the limbo, specifically the one between adolescence and adulthood. No matter the era or which generation one may come from, navigating the transition between the two isn’t easy and I suspect it never will be. Some generations may have had it easier but the assumptions are a hindsight look on an experience instead…

+++SPOILER ALERT+++

So, in a recent stream the fantastic @stafell pointed out a theory regarding just who The Lady might be.

In LN2, the main antagonist ends up being none other than Mono, caught in a weird bootstrap paradox that we are forced to repeat over and over again…

… what if it’s the same concept in the first game?

What if this loop extends further than The Pale City??

We know there are paintings of Six all around the Maw. We know that people flock to the ship and are presumably fattened up so that The Lady can consume their life force as well.

But what if these preparations were not for The Lady… but for Six?

We know she doesn’t make it off the Maw at the end of LN1, so she’s stuck there. There’s now a power vacuum. People will still come there to feed and be consumed.

So what happens to Six? Maybe she gets more powerful. Maybe she ends up living there. Maybe she realises the world is caught in a loop, not just The Pale City?

Right at the end of LN1, I noticed another tiiiiiny detail.

Just as you go to nibble bite consume The Lady, she doesn’t fight. She actually tilts her neck, she exposes herself for you. She welcomes it.

Again, all theory crafting here but neat none the less 😅

Los orígenes de la banda Queen se remontan en 1968, donde Roger Taylor y Brian May fundaron la "Smile", una banda de rock en donde Tim Stafell era vocalista.

En este blog voy a hablar un poco sobre la historia detrás de Queen, y como fue su recorrido para llegar a ser la banda mundialmente famosa que lograron ser.

Después de la salida de Stafell de la agrupación, May y Taylor acudieron a Mercury inmediatamente y, una vez que estuvieron los tres juntos, el nombre de la banda cambió a "Queen" por sugerencia del mismo Freddie.

Interpretaban canciones de otras bandas y renovaban algunas otras que habían sido compuestas para Smile.

Su primera presentación tuvo lugar en 1970 en el City Hall de la ciudad de Truro para luego, en el mismo año, presentarse en el Imperial College. Para entonces, había probado con algunos bajistas como: Mike Grose, Carry Mitchell y Doug Ewood Bogie, sin embargo, tras conocerlo en un bar, John Deacon fue quien se quedó de forma definitiva en la banda. Finalmente se presentaron los 4 juntos como banda en 1971.

El logotipo de la banda fue diseñado por Mercury basándose en los signos del zodiaco de cada uno de integrantes (Dos leones por Deacon y Taylor, los cuales son Leo, un cangrejo por May, quien es Cáncer y dos hadas por Mercury, quien era Virgo.).

Queen llegó a grabar cuatro canciones en un estudio de un amigo de Brian May, quien necesitaba probarlo. Intentaron buscar una discografía sin ningún tipo de éxito. Sim embargó, luego de un tiempo serían reconocidos por la firma Chrysalis Records, quien les ofreció un contrato el cual rechazaron porque no los beneficiaba.

Su primer álbum titulado Queen fue distribuido por la disquera Elektra Records en 1973. Tuvo un buen recibimiento de críticos, sin embargo, no tuvo mucho éxito.

En 1974, se publica el segundo álbum titulado Queen II, que estuvo en el lugar n° 5 en la lista inglesa. Gracias a algunos temas de este álbum, pudieron presentarse en Reino Unido sin necesidad de estar como teloneros. Este mismo año fue lanzado su tercer álbum Sheer Heart Attack en donde destaca Killer Queen, la cual entró en las listas de Estados Unidos.

En 1975, se publicó el sencillo que los mantuvo 18 meses en la cabeza de las listas estadounidenses Bohemian Rhapsody. Ese mismo año, en noviembre, fue lanzado A Night at the Opera.

Day at the Races fue publicado en 1976 que es considerado una secuela, para después lanzar News of the World en 1977, el cual es famoso por sus temas We Will Rock You y We Are the Champions.

La pareja de Mercury, Jim Hutton, anuncia en 1987 que Freddie padecía de sida y, aunque en su momento se negó todo, en 1991 se publicó un comunicado en donde Mercury afirmaba que esto era real.

Freddie Mercury murió a los 45 años dos días después de que los fanáticos fueron comunicados. Después de esto, se editó un álbum con los éxitos de Queen y se llevó a cabo un concierto homenaje el 20 de abril de 1992 en el estadio Wembley, donde siete años antes deslumbraron al mundo con su tan recordada actuación en el Live Aid y donde, un años después de eso, se realizó su célebre concierto 'Live At Wembley '86'.

Hoy en día, Queen sigue vivo. En 2011, Roger Taylor y Brian May, quienes siguen dándole vida a la banda, se unieron a Adam Lambert para seguir transmitiendo las canciones que ya fueron inmortalizadas por el mundo.

Queen tuvo un humilde comienzo, pero nunca va a tener un final.

i've probably talked about welsh words that i love but the ones i hate are 'ymdopi' (to cope), and anyone who says the word 'ystafell' (room) with the Y in the beginning (me, my family, and people in my area would say 'stafall'), 'ysgol' (as in ladder, not school) when they mean 'ystol', 'cegin' (kitchen) for the living room... also, in general, i hate the way it sounds but the word for cooking ('coginio') is fine, and '(y)stafell wely' (bedroom) instead of 'lloft'.

the sounds of them drive me up the wall idk why.

UK Sees 40% of Electricity Generated by Renewables in Best Year Yet | The Renewable Energy Hub

According to new research a record amount of electricity was generated from renewable sources in the UK in 2022. Britain ended 2022 with the largest amount of clean power being created on record helped by the continued wintery blusters as the year drew to a close.

Academics from Imperial College in London analysed the data for Drax Electric Insights who commissioned the quarterly report.

The researchers found that wind, solar, biomass and hydropower accounted for more than two-fifths (40%) of the UK’s electricity for the first time in 2022 which is up from 35% in 2021. Power from renewables has gone up more than four times in the past ten years. The increase in power from renewable sources in the UK in 2022 resulted in a lowering of carbon dioxide emissions by 2.7 million tonnes according to a press release from Drax. At one point in May 2022, 72.8% of the grid’s power came from renewable sources while wind farms generated a landmark 20GW of electricity for the first time.

Though 2022 has largely been a successful demonstration for the UK’s net zero future there are some critics who are warning that an increased reliance on renewable energy sources could see the UK grid face tighter margins as the weather gets colder.

The increase in renewable generation has come at a time which is crucial for the UK as energy prices soar and the price of natural gas skyrockets as a result of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The use of renewable energy sources can help avoid the ever-changing prices of fossil fuels, as the fuel for these sources is often free. 

Despite the increase in clean energy generation the report found that the share of fossil fuel energy generation has also increased. Fossil fuel supplied 42% of the country’s power this year, its largest share of the fuel mix since 2016.

Drax claims to be the UK’s biggest renewable energy producer by output, thanks in part to its vast biomass plants. However, Climate scientists have questioned the UK’s classing of biomass as a renewable energy source due to the amount of carbon emissions it produces. A 2021 report from energy think tank Ember found that Drax’s biomass plant in Yorkshire was the biggest single source of carbon dioxide in the UK.

Dr Iain Staffell from Imperial College London, lead author of the Drax Electric Insights report series said:

“This has been a year like no other for the energy industry. The public are feeling the pain of high gas prices on their energy bills, even though renewables are providing the grid with more cheap, green electricity than ever before. The lesson from 2022 is that we need to break our addiction to fossil fuels once and for all if we want to lower costs and better secure energy supplies.”

He hopes that increased investment in clean energy technologies could help the UK become “Europe’s renewable electricity powerhouse”, reducing energy bills and boosting the economy by exporting power to neighbouring countries.

It is fairly obvious if we look at the figures that had we not invested in wind, solar and biomass over the last decade the UK’s energy bills would have been even higher and we would have been at greater risk of blackouts over the winter.

Dr Stafell believes the UK should generate its own power from renewable sources rather than relying on imported fuel. According to Business Green he said:

“The energy crisis cannot be solved by increasing our reliance on gas imported from abroad. We need to turbocharge our investment in clean energy technologies to become Europe’s renewable electricity powerhouse, which will cut fuel bills at home and bring money into the economy by exporting power to our neighbouring countries.”

Drax Group CEO Will Gardiner said:

“We can accelerate and strengthen Britain’s long-term energy security by ending our reliance on expensive, imported fossil fuels and instead increase investment in homegrown renewables, and innovative green technologies.”

In fact, the recent report indicates that this trend has already begun with Britain becoming a net exporter of electricity for the first time in more than a decade. The success of renewables has helped to quadruple electricity exports from last year to 17.2 TWh of electricity. According to the report, an estimated 1.9 Terrawatt hours of electricity was exported in 2022 which generated more than £3 billion for the UK economy. This represents a dramatic swing in power trading from the previous year when Britain instead imported a net total of 22.9TWh.

A future dominated by renewables could help bring fuel prices back down to sustainable levels, while also achieving a reduction in carbon emissions vital for the UK’s journey to net zero by 2050.

Ernest Ludwig Kirchner:Gola della Foresta di Stafel,1918-1919

[thiagodlf]

Uma das lendas do rock. A origem do#Queen foi com a #bandaUniversitáriaSmile, formada em 1968 por #BrianMay e #TimStafell, estudantes do #ImperialCollege, em #Londres. Através de um anúncio no mural da escola, que pedia um #baterista tipo “#gingerbaker”, os dois acabaram por conhecer #RogerTaylor.Em 1969 conseguiram assinar com a #MercuryRecords. Nesta época Freddie era vocalista de outra banda, mas já conhecia o trabalho do Smile, que chegou a gravar algumas músicas. Em 1970 #Stafell abandonou o #Smile, sendo que #Brian e #Roger convidaram Freddie para compor o grupo, que após o ingresso do novo integrante muda o nome da banda, para chamá-la de Queen. Após experimentar alguns baixistas, a formação completou-se com #JohnDeacon. Depois de uma maratona de ensaios e testes, eles conseguem gravar seu primeiro álbum, o “Queen”, mais conhecido como Queen I. A partir de um acordo entre as gravadoras #Trident e #EMI, inicia-se a primeira turnê da banda, abrindo um show da banda Mott the Hoople, roubando rapidamente a cena, contando com a irreverência de Freddie. Umas das músicas mais marcantes da banda, em minha opinião, é exatamente está que está na postagem aqui, "#BohemianRhapsody". Foi uma Música completamente composta pelo vocalista #FreddieMercury, teve o seu lançamento em 1975 no álbum "#ANigthAtTheOpera" da banda "#Queen" que executou a #música. ... O que levou a banda a um patamar de fama mais alto no mundo #musical. A camisa? A camisa é só uma caricatura, uma brincadeira que foi prestigiada pelo amigo @ricardosilvag13. #aarteestanaveia #camisaspersonalizadas #aerógrafo #aerografía #snoopy #snoopy #charlebrown #rock #bandaqueen (em Diadema Taboão) https://www.instagram.com/p/CERkp9NAlFE/?igshid=7c3f6m4e4zuh

The Peppercorns Eng Dub

I dunno about you but the show the peppercorns or "Die Pfefferkörner" was a childhood favourite (only season 4 and 4 I think) ! The thing is, I'm not German (very far from Europe actually), but I remember the show airing on TV as English Dubbed! Please tell me and my sister aren't delusional! I need to know where can I find the show English Dubbed, if not, did it actually exist?! SOMEONE CONFIRM THIS PLEASE!
