Apple's new #Silo short story ("The Mystery of the Pez") has Luke and I going galaxy brain on the new reveals – from the insights into Robert Sims' psyche to the implications of the other relics mentioned. So, ofc we had to put out a short bonus episode about it: thelorehounds.com/podcast/wool...

All the #Silo fans here saw that Apple surprised dropped a new short story of sorts on us yesterday? 👀 "The Mystery of the Pez" by Robert Sims books.apple.com/us/book/silo...

Question for the #IwtV / #TVL community... I'm excited Hannah Moscovitch will be the showrunner for S4 / #QotD — makes sense for a lot of reasons. But out of curiosity... Did we ever find out why Rolin Jones wasn't at Comic Con as advertised? 🤔 (I really hope it wasn't because of fan BS.)

I've been hearing that we're reaching an inflection point in how AI's used in professional writing... And all I can say is: I hope so. I don't know how many more ways I can try to explain that, even when you bring in human cleaner-uppers, AI texts are more work to edit with poorer final products. 😩

#Silo S3-e5 gave us many answers – but Luke and I always want to know more. From lightbulb logistics to cat negotiation tactics to which Silo 18 characters could best handle their weed, we throw our own questions out for your consideration. @lukemiddup.bsky.social thelorehounds.com/podcast/wool...

Denmark / the Faroe Islands' #NoRestForTheWicked scratches all those 19th-cent. Northern European Gothic itches, w/ beauty, yearning, and surprisingly nuanced characters realized through incredible acting. One of my top films of the year! @contrazoompod.bsky.social share.google/9sVGeK3TWg0B...

I still haven't seen the Odyssey — hopefully this weekend; it's been hard to get to the movie theater this month! So I've been largely ignoring the Emily Wilson debate. But this caught my attention... Wtf is she talking about "the Sea Peoples" have been debunked? 👀 (They most assuredly have not.)

Seth L. Sanders@nabalkattu.bsky.social · last wk.

Film criticism aside, Emily Wilson's review of the Odyssey concerned me because it misrepresents Late Bronze Age history and reinforces an old Eurocentric pattern of dismissing the experiences--and reality--of ancient peoples other than the Greeks.

Nolan’s other major addition to Homer’s narrative is the repeated reference to threats to ‘our civilisation’ from ‘the sea peoples’ – a now debunked 19th-century theory about maritime tribes who were thought to have attacked Egypt around 1200 BCE and to have also been responsible for the roughly coeval collapse of Mycenaean Greek culture. ‘Our civilisation is under attack,’ Penelope wails. Odysseus comforts her by saying that ‘Bronze Age civilisation’, including literacy, will rise again from the ashes. The current consensus, as Nolan clearly knows, is that there was no such thing as ‘the sea peoples’, and that the Greek-speaking world’s shift away from the more centralised, literate palace culture of the Mycenaeans in the 11th century BCE towards the fragmented social formations of the early Greek Iron Age was caused by a range of factors, including climate change, earthquakes and internal unrest. Nolan uses these competing historical theories to create a characteristic narrative twist about the identity of ‘the sea peoples’, which I will not spoil, though you can probably guess it.

I did my best to explain not only the mechanics of #TheTaleOfTheBodyThief, but also the lore from Anne Rice's later Vampire Chronicles books – and I fear I sound like a crazy person. 🦤 😭😂💖 #TVLSpoilers

John and Elysia dig into a feast of the soul of #TheVampireLest in this finale deep dive. Stick around after the credits to witness Elysia attempting to explain the lore from the later books – and check back in this weekend for a season wrap w/ SDCC news! thelorehounds.com/podcast/the-...
