He Helped Build an Artists Utopia... In-depth story about a guy who got involved with an artists' collective in California. The building housing the collective burned down, killing 36 people. Who is to blame, this guy or the guy in charge of the whole thing? Sad but very good read.

Four Days Trapped At Sea with Crypto's Nouveau Riche Cryptocurrency world is made up of some deeply bad people. And a few quirky idealists. Mostly deeply bad people.

The Strange Life and Mysterious Death of a Panther-Trapping, Gator-Wrestling Wild Man Trapper Nelson, perhaps the original Florida Man.

I watched the second Captain Marvel trailer, a few days late, and remain hopeful that I will latch on to this movie. Do I know what's going on? Only sort of, from comics fandom osmosis. Will that matter? Hopefully not.

Then there's the Avengers 4 trailer, which, regarding one thing, I CALLED IT, despite not watching the Avengers movies. ( Trailer spoilers )

And finally, a vid: Landsailor by helcinda. It is a Sidney Crosby vid (I think helcinda labels it as both Crosby and Penguins, but... it's Crosby all the way.) I didn't think I had Crosby feelings! But here we are, watching it like fifteen times and rolling around with pain in my chest. I think because the vid takes him beyond his actual personhood into myth-making, which is a thing I'm a sucker for. Like how I love the version of Dr. Who that I THINK Dr. Who is (mythical, alien, beyond) and then I watch the actual show and it's just... not that, and I get mad.

Mythical Croz is p great. As is the Duper sequence and the Mike Sullivan sequence and all the little Letang bits, which make my heart ache, because if I ever truly loved a Peng it is Kris Letang. The Geno bits are also good but not quite PERFECT and I can't figure out why, guess I'll have to watch it another fifteen times.
