Also now trademarking “a”, “and”, and “light” because there’s now precedent to do so. #WoTSkies #ShadowSkies #BreakTheWheel

depths of wikipedia @depthsofwikipedia.bsky.social · Jul 8

you might not expect the "The" page to be very exciting but then you get to truly bizarre section of legal feuds between delusional institutions trying to trademark "THE"

Ohio State University registered a trademark allowing the university to use "THE" on casual and athletic clothing. The university, often referred to as "The Ohio State University", had used "THE" on clothing since 2005, but took steps to register the trademark in August 2019 after the Marc Jacobs company attempted to do the same. In August 2021 Ohio State and Marc Jacobs agreed the high-end fashion retailer could use "THE" on its merchandise, which was different from what the university would sell. Still, the university took almost an additional year to convince the United States Patent and Trademark Office that the use of "the" was "more than ... ornamental".[20]

Cool bird fact: birds are cool. Also only a few are smart enough to spy for you. Sorry, but that cute finch in your backyard isn’t going to be much use in the fight for the Shadow. #BirdsOfTime #WoTSkies #WheelOfTime

I spoke with Robert Strange about keeping his secret character in #TheWheelOfTime Season 3 under wraps, the intricacy of the Eelfinn’s look, working with Dónal Finn, and more:

He also discusses what he loved most about his costume and how he surprised Dónal Finn on the day during filming.

Fun fact: proton streams in Ghostbusters were based on balefire.

(I think my students burned the record of it though, but you know me, I’m totally trustworthy. 🙂)

The Wheel of Time turns, and proton streams become balefire

Two-panel collage: The first photo is from the Ghostbusters movie, of the 4 original Ghosbusters holding proton packs, with Egon and Ray wielding a blasting proton stream of orange and yellow beams of light wrapping around each other. The second photo is from Season 3 Episode 8 of the Wheel of Time, of Jeaine Caide wielding a black rod ter'angreal with balefire streaming from it, with purple, blue, and orange, streams of light blasting from it

#TheWheelOfTime

Behind-the-scenes photo from The Wheel of Time set showing Marcus Rutherford (who plays Perrin Aybara) smiling warmly as he embraces a wolfdog actor portraying Hopper. Marcus is wearing a leather apron and holding a water bottle, suggesting a break between scenes. Hopper stands on his hind legs with his front paws resting on Marcus’s chest, looking up at him affectionately. A crew member in the background watches with a big smile. The scene is lit by bright studio lights with rustic props and set pieces around them.

#WheelOfTime #WoTSkies #ShadowSkies #Hamilton

The set of Hamilton, which has wooden balconies, stairs, stone walls, ropes, and other decor from a late 1700s setting. There are lights hanging above the stage that are turned off. Picture from the [REDACTED] theatre’s showing on the latest Hamilton national tour. Big shoutout to the cast and crew for an incredible performance.
