So I want this blog to do some good. Some of the good I want to do is to call out predators and predatory behavior. I want to start with a dive on Jeffrey Epstein. In this dive I don't mean any disrespect to the victims or family of Jeffrey.
Going home with the odd prop isn't too out of the ordinary, however if you are a star on AMC's #TheWalkingDead, your choices are usually limited to a rotten arm or a wire-wrapped baseball bat. In possibly the greatest take-home gift ever, series regular #NormanReedus has made off with the zombified head of #JohnnyDepp. No, this isn't from Pirates of the Caribbean 7: The Search For Depp's Career, it is a genuine prop from #RobertKirkman's zombie apocalypse.
This year has been a carnival with regards to power and defilement — beginning with Trump's denunciation and finishing off with Trump's pointless endeavor to remain in office. It's likewise been overflowing with parody: Rudy Giuliani gradually coming disturbed at the creases, the TikTok exertion to "Save Donald Trump," and Twitter response to Trump's COVID-19 conclusion progressively.
A Grave Conversation The scene is nearly idyllic. Fluffy clouds dot a deep blue sky while mountains stand in afar in all four directions. Shady Pines is a man-made oasis in the desert. Stately trees, some Oak, mostly Pine, dominate a square mile devoid of indigenous Mesquite, and Palo Verde, trees. Soft breezes play lightly through leaves and needles, whispering of peace and tranquility. Temperatures in three digits are not uncommon in areas between tree shadows. Underground temperatures are much cooler.
In 1977 the group L.T.D., (Love Togetherness and Devotion, recorded Back in love which made it to number one on the R&B charts where it stayed for two weeks and became a gold record. The song was also number four on Billboards hot 100 singles. Back in Love was written by Len Ron Hanks and Zane Grey, with Jeffrey Osborne singing lead. This song became the dance anthem that summer in my neck of the woods and more than likely all across the nation, and holds a special meaning for me. Every party that I attended for about a year played Back in love at least once and everybody would get on the floor.
As we cross 2020, most of us are still functioning remotely and preparing for a hybrid work environment where we will be expected to work from home. How can an organization determine productivity? What can we expect from remote working in 2021? How can leaders motivate their employees who are low on motivation? Read this article as I dissect the remote working environment of 2021.
Even as Kumiko spoke, those she referred to stepped into the main room together. One was an alien with a white and dark-blue humanlike form, and the other a short schoolboy whose body was shaped exactly like a rubber ball. If, as Kumiko said, they were happy to see The Four Heroes, the emotion was more than reciprocal. Neetra ran to the boy at once and joyously swept his rotund form up in her arms.
A black pick-up truck pulled up in the alleyway across from the police station. It was just after dark when it came to a stop, the driver killing the engine and turning off the lights. Taking a Glock from the bag next to him, Jeffrey tucked it under his shirt. The open gear bag had several guns, ammunition, zip-ties, his phone, and other various supplies he might need. With Alex watching the hospital, Jeffrey had nowhere else to be, and that suited him fine. One way or another, Jeffrey was going to get some time alone with Joeseph.
my sincerest apologies to the reader for this lengthy and unorthodoxly expression i know you seek my love of words and not a numbers obsession
In the year 2010, a group of biologists led by Savante Pombo from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, made a groundbreaking announcement that challenged conventional notions of human evolution. Their research revealed that early humans not only coexisted with more primitive hominids but also engaged in interbreeding with them. This revelation was accompanied by the astonishing finding that an unidentified species might also have left its mark on human DNA.
INTRODUCTION: An Airport is nothing but a place where planes can usually land and take off. Most airports in the world simply have a runway, which is a lengthy stretch of level terrain. There are many airports with structures for housing planes and people.
I’m just 1 person who doesn’t usually watch a lot of documentaries. Unlike my sister, I prefer fiction to nonfiction when it comes to movies, shows, and books. But I recently watched some short, quality LGBTQ+ documentaries I wanted to recommend you check out during Pride month. The best part is that all three of these are amazing. But the second best thing is that they are all free and available on YouTube. Watch and share them with others!
Choosing what to take care of your canine - or anybody in your consideration so far as that is concerned - isn't something you ought to trifle with. Aside from practice and emotional well-being, diet is the greatest supporter of prosperity. Taking care of a sound canine food is truly significant.
Fish was aware of blue water shimmering and dancing: it seemed all around her as she began her approach. One-two-three-and-hurdle. The springboard gave way beneath her and then she was airborne. At the top of her lift, she hung in the air for just a moment before beginning her downward flight – for just long enough to see them sitting in the stands, side by side, looking up at her.
The little Solidity girl started and gawped. Her cell-door had just unlatched, softly and all by itself. It could only be a trap. Not even Earthlings were stupid enough to make such a blunder. Besides, it was exactly the sort of thing she was always doing to boys back home.
"There weren't always dragons in the valley" explained Jeffrey's grandpa. As they sat on the front porch made from an old growth redwood tree. The steam from the valley floor was gracefully rising up to the sky on this mild spring morning
In The Batman, Robert Pattinson dons the cowl as the Caped Crusader in the first of a new series of films. Batman is now two years into his tenure as Gotham City's vengeful protector when a cryptic serial killer known as the Riddler (Paul Dano) emerges and begins picking off Gotham's elite, revealing the most grotesque skeletons in their closets in the process. With the help of his butler, Alfred (Andy Serkis), police lieutenant James Gordon (Jeffrey Wright), and a new, slightly more reckless crime-fighter named Selina Kyle (Zoë Kravitz), Batman must stop the Riddler's reign of terror, unraveling the city's dark past in the process.
“These events are terrifying because they occur without warning in the most mundane places. Most of the victims are chosen not for what they have done but because of where they happen to be.”—The Washington Post.

It's 4th of July weekend, and that means it's time for a Carter family reunion. Problem is, this year, Errol Carter (Kenneth Madison) and his wife Angela (Reaco Boyd) are stuck in Brazil. Forced into quarantine after catching Dengue fever during their exotic vacation, it's up to their daughter Erica (Sophia Knolton) to gather what's left to the Carter clan and put something together in time for a proper Independence Day celebration.
I want to post about Ghislaine because I think there should be just as much attention on her as there is on Jeffrey Epstein. I already did a dive in Jeffrey so this was on of the next logical post.
Ashley was on her knees, one cock in her hand, the other in her mouth. The men were leaning over her, each fondling a breast as she sucked first one cock and then the other.
Happy Halloween There once was a jack-o-lantern but it wasn’t just any jack-o-lantern. Upon a farm there lived a young boy of 9 or 10 with messy hair, freckles, and a missing tooth grin. His name was Jeffrey. Of all the times of the year, Autumn was his favorite, the changing colors of the leaves, the holiday of Halloween at the end of the month, and most importantly the pumpkin carving. For you see Jeffrey was lonely, his farm was so far away from the town he rarely saw other kids his age and when he did at the school they weren’t very fond of him. But when October came around and the harvests came in he could have as many friends as he wanted. All it took was a few pumpkins and some silly faces and Jeffrey was one of the happiest kids in the world. But this year was different, just faces were not quite enough anymore so something special would be done. A single pumpkin nice and round almost perfect was selected from the harvest, it was gutted and then a gentle face was carved in it. Two oval eyes, a tiny triangle nose, and a two-toothed smile happy and kind. Jeffrey then took two sticks and like his grandfather showed him before tied them together with twine to make the frame of a scarecrow; a rather tiny one no bigger than a child. Taking one of his old shirts with a two-button collar and collared sleeves in a dusty blue color he put it on the frame stuffing it with straw and giving the scarecrow his old mittens. With his grandfather’s help, the bottom of the main stick was split in two and widened out, and tied with twine for legs. The scarecrow got some brown pants stuffed with straw and a few lengths of twined between the belt loops to keep it up. With the placement of its head, the pumpkin friend was complete and Jeffrey was happy.
David Lynch's Blue Velvet is a largely acclaimed film, and deservedly so. It's one of those films that's not so easy to characterize — perhaps even more so than Lynch's other films. It's definitely on the weird side, but not so overpoweringly weird that it's ultra-artsy. It may not be an outright horror movie yet it definitely has creepy moments throughout. Plus, who would say Frank Booth (Dennis Hopper) wouldn't fit in somewhere in horror's mad villain pantheon? He definitely is not a good guy, and says and does some things that are downright freaky. So, even though Wikipedia brands this a "neo-noir mystery film," there's enough disturbing stuff going on which make Blue Velvet disturbing.
Since its debut on September 21, 2022, Ryan Murphy's latest offering on Netflix has stirred up a lot of controversy. Dahmer - Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story sought out to tell the story of the notorious serial killer from the perspective of the victims and, with that, tell the story from behind a lens that we haven't really seen before. Lead actor Evan Peters even said in promotional content for the series that the show wasn't even about Jeffrey Dahmer, despite his name being in the title twice.
Day 24 Developing self-awareness: I’m currently studying BSc Psychology with Counselling with the intention of retraining in the field of psychotherapy, achieving my new-found ambition of becoming a therapist/counsellor.
Journalism has always played an important role in society. We rely on newspapers, television and magazines to stay up to date on current events. When crimes are reported journalists set out to uncover the truth. While conducting their own interviews they can bring to light information that was overlooked by law enforcement, and generate new leads. In some cases it is their dedication that leads to an arrest.
New York, January 15, 2008 "So, we have a deal." The excitement in the air was electric as all but one of the five men got up from their seats. From the outside, it looked like any other successful business meeting: stiff handshaking, congratulations, and relieved, yet excited expressions. But this meeting had been different. It would still be months before anything was set in motion, but the decision made today would drastically change the way the world conducted business.

Are you superstitious? Would you fly on ship number 13? Jim Lovell, Fred Haise, and Ken Mattingly didn't think the number 13 would be unlucky for them. They had trained for many months to fly the third lunar landing mission, Apollo 13. Lovell and Haise planned to spend 33 hours exploring the surface of the Moon, while Mattingly circled above them in the command module Odyssey. The story of what happened instead is a tribute to the bravery, ingenuity, and teamwork not only of the astronauts themselves, but also of the hundreds of controllers, technicians, and scientists who brought three men safely home from outer space. You can decide whether or not the number 13 was unlucky for them at the end of the story.

In the heart of the sprawling metropolis, concealed amidst the towering structures, lay the enigmatic fortress known as Micron, a micro-tech lab at the forefront of scientific innovation. Hidden within its secure walls was a precious and exceedingly rare element called Tritonium. Its scarcity made it not only highly valuable but also an object of desire for those willing to venture into the shadows of the black market.
So we have had at least 3 legal cases that has to do with me too like stories. We had the Bill Cosby, Harvey Weinestein and R Kelly cases. If you want to lump Jeffrey Epstein into this then you can. There was some talk about what this will do for the movement after the trails ended. There was also some talk about what this means for the movement. I want to look at what they mean to the movement and what they will do in this article.
Chapter Twenty Stonehouse “WHICH OF YOU SODDIN’ LITTLE BUGGERS BIN GOIN’ THROUGH MY FUCKIN’ POCKETS?” Both boys felt the drunken hand. Fred held his ground, but Lenny fell heavily against the kitchen cabinet.
The Federal Reserve's recent hawkish stance and the ongoing stock market rally are posing a dilemma for investors. They must navigate the challenge of staying invested in the rising equities market while also protecting themselves from potential disruptions caused by tighter monetary policy.
