🚀 Hold onto your keyboards, folks! In an astounding revelation, periodic #MySQL syncs don't have psychic powers to detect deleted rows or intermediate updates 🤯. But fear not, mere mortals, for the almighty #binlog is here to save the day with its magical abilities that, shockingly, require specific settings to function! 🧙‍♂️

I feel like The Daily reads my blog (they don’t) but they are talking about the mythology of our country. This is some of what I have been writing about: what narratives do we tell ourselves privately and collectively? And what does that narrative drive us to do? #TheDaily #NYTimes #AlignWithLove #Myths #Narratives

me, deciding to name my proposed #mythological lion for the #LeoMinor constellation, CLAWDIA:

Another favorite ancient deity of ours associated with lions is Isthar / Inanna, who we met on the pod all the way back in Season 1 in our Taurus episode.

Here she is seemingly walking a lion on a leash like the epic warrior/love/ date (the fruit) / wool / rain (etc) goddess she is!

Ancient Babylonians & Ancient Greeks looked at this part of the night sky and said eh.

But then Petrus Plancius came along and slapped a giraffe on it -- thus, #camelopardalis was born!

In this week's episode, we tried to create a #myth inspired by #GreekMythology for the #constellation #camelopardalis

While ours were (maybe) a little mid, the Oracle (#AI) paragraph had us like:

#MythologyMonday let's talk about King Lycaon...

King Lycaon had 50 sons. He killed one of his sons & fed him to Zeus (because... idk something about wanting to test Zeus's omniscience... or something?)

Zeus was so upset (which is sort of rich coming from this guy), he turned King Lycaon into a wolf.

Many, especially Tech Bros™, like to imagine immortality for themselves.

As for me, I'm not interested. I wrote about why not.

For more, check out our #myths and retconstellations episode on the #constellation #Sagitta here: https://starrytimepodcast.podbean.com/e/sagitta-myths-and-retconstellations/

My ret-constellation for the #constellation #sagitta was to align it with a modern archer (rather than random assorted Hercules stories or an Apollo killing cyclops story) -- some options I considered:

Kate Bishop Hawkeye
Merida from Brave
Robin Hood

... but ultimately, who would be better than Legolas?!

In this week's #podcast on the #constellation Sagitta -- we learned there are at least 3 distinct groups of Cyclopes in #GreekMythology

Here's a primer:

Homeric --> includes the one who was famously killed by "No One"

Hesiodic --> the ones killed by Apollo, who created the lightening bolt (no, i don't know how they square this with Hephaestus)

Wall Builders --> the ones who, uh, built walls...

Listen to this week's episode to see which group is associated with this constellation's lore: https://starrytimepodcast.podbean.com/e/sagitta-myths-and-retconstellations/
