Wooden Dolls Game by Ivonne Hoyos

Published by José Betancourt

There is something quietly unsettling about the wooden dolls at the heart of this novel — hollow, hand-crafted, customizable to any likeness, yet carrying a power no one would expect to find tucked inside a craft fair stall. Wooden Dolls Game by Ivonne Hoyos opens with this arresting image: a carpenter in the Swiss forest, dismantling a clock to carve a set of dolls. That single metaphor — time, disassembled and reshaped into something new — anchors everything that follows. This is a novel about what happens when you are handed the ability to go backward, and whether going backward is ever truly enough to change what is to come. The story centers on Mary Jane and Antonia Crowell, non-identical twins born into a warm, multicultural family in Santa Ana, California. From the very first chapter, Hoyos demonstrates a sharp eye for domestic tension. The twins are five years old when a seemingly trivial dispute — who gets the pink bedroom in their new house — sets the entire trajectory of their lives into motion. …

Shein to roll out age checks in EU after sex dolls scandal – POLITICO

Published by Sam Flores

“All age-restricted products” will be behind that layer of age checking, Zhu said. The Commission is the primary supervisor of Shein under the Digital Services Act, the EU law designed to limit the risks of online platforms to users. Shein is classified as a Very Large Online Platform with over 45 million users and can face fines up to 6 percent of its global annual revenue for breaches of the rules. The Commission did not immediately respond to POLITICO’s request for comment. Shein is also testing the Commission’s age verification app, or “mini wallet” as it’s sometimes called, Zhu said. This blueprint for an app to check age online was developed by the Commission and is currently being tested by six EU countries. “Of course it was totally unacceptable what has happened,” Zhu said, referring to the child-like sex dolls and other illegal content. But it “is not the first time that happened to a marketplace and it also happened to multiple marketplaces,” Zhu said. Source link

The animated feature has become Netflix’s most popular film to date, garnering over 500 million views since its release last June. However, a source revealed last year that Mattel had not anticipated its significant crossover appeal. The new toys are slated for a summer rollout, approximately a year after the film’s debut, as the toy giant hopes merchandise will sustain its popularity. Roberto Stanichi, Mattel’s chief global brand officer, told Reuters at the International Toy Fair in Nuremberg that the company “really believe[s] that this brand and this franchise has evergreen potential.” He added: “We’re going to be staging different collections, different assortments throughout the …
