Sorry if I did not answer many of you.... I’ve never been a fan of the online eulogy. The immediate fallout is always about loved ones. And we should leave those closest be. And then I realised of course I was just incredibly upset, and a large digital outpouring is inevitable and testament to his character. My devastation came from having to watch it all unfold. From spending years trying to help and actually getting him close to a point where he almost had a normal life again - then being powerless to stop him doing things he should not have. Powerless in every sense as it also meant it sometimes not being my place to say anything. In the end watching some of the evil shits around enable the worst of it was too much for me, I had to step back it was too painful to watch. I told my mate who was filling in for me looking after him “ah I just need some space from it all, I’ll be back with him after Christmas” and then suddenly there was no Christmas. And it turned out no one was to blame, and I immediately looked to blame myself most of all, fearing the worst. But it was a simple accident in the end. A bolt out of the blue. So if you are ever estranged or overwhelmed by friends and family and think it will all be OK one day - DON’T put it off. Reach out now. Grab that person and hold them tight. There may not be a tomorrow. You might not be around to see them off. There may not be the grand luxury of time available you thought there was. He died in the arms of his beloved son, and that is a measure of comfort, if a passing can ever have any. He was my mentor, my friend and my glad burden. And there was nothing I would not do for him.show more

Two things. First I should finish watching a video... before I make comments on it. I didn’t realize Candace herself says the camera was on the inside of his shirt in 2025. Candace Charlie wasn’t an idiot. He knew why they were putting it on the inside of the shirt. Don’t you think he’d be a part of the change on how it was worn? He was Not a frog. Smh. And second. If her followers still believe her after the second video here where the demonstrator puts it on the way Charlie has it on there’s no helping them. But did you guys see her face. She knew her team had F’d up and put too much info out there. Lmao. Candace that sucked for you but your face was priceless. You were so pissed they let it run that long. When she does the little sniff it’s a sign she’s mad, happens every time. Remember she did it when Elizebeth said she had a dream about Charlie? Is someone getting fired?show more

🤣🤣🤣They came up with the "improving" narrative as an... excuse to why she wasn't getting movie projects and would use that as an excuse after every single project. Charlotte said, hold my beer and gave a performance so exceptional, it made their excuses sound more stupid than it has always been. Imagine trying to claim that "lack experience" was why she wasn't getting any roles🤣🤣🤣 One thing they always seem to forget, is that Charlotte has had 5 years experience in acting. Although she was boycotted from having solo projects, she didn't fail to show her skills in those duo movies; SML 2022 MRLT 2023 Love Bully 2024 Petrichor 2024 Unconditional love 2025 Clairebell (guest) 2026 The Water series 2026 She has had 5 years of experience, playing DIFFERENT roles... Let's emphasis on that fact. All her roles have been different and she has never failed to perfect each of those roles and for 5 years MGI have been reusing the same lame excuses. They hate that she doesn't like to milk her fans and don't want them wasting money repeatedly by buying. I remember her wanting to do jobs where the fans wouldn't have to use money and that doesn't align with his plans because she's supposed to remain one of his best sellers, after all.show more

Eunseok has always been a simple and sincere person.... Not only is his appearance cute, his personality is cute too, and even the way he thinks feels gentle and endearing. He knows what he wants, likes to share with others, and is realistic. At the same time, he remains very pure—if he likes something, that is all he wants. During a break from filming, he played a game and won 100 lip balms. Knowing he couldn’t use them all, he gave them to the staff. At the SMTOWN after party event, he won a bottle of 18-year Yamazaki whisky. Since he doesn’t really drink alcohol and only hoped to win a simple moisturizer, he gave the whisky to his managers. At the dinner after SMTOWN, there were seafood dishes and a buffet, but Eunseok ordered his own food instead. He really loves abura soba, and just one bowl of it was enough to make him feel satisfied. When attending an event in Shenzhen, luxury suites were available. Everyone was busy choosing rooms. After seeing a suite where even the bathroom was as big as a regular hotel room, Eunseok said, “I think this is too big. It feels like I might get lost.” When asked if he wasn’t going to stay there, he replied, “No, it’s too big,” picked up his bag, and went to a smaller room. In Japan, he saw a very cute hoodie, but because bringing it back would be troublesome, he didn’t buy it. Because he is very good at skiing and thought winning too easily wouldn’t be fun, when racing with the members, he gave them a head start and only began after he could no longer see them. Because he doesn’t want to grow old, he didn’t eat tteokguk. When he tried to order curry but the order failed, he felt it was too much trouble and decided to cook curry at home instead. Because he thinks skincare products spoil easily, he keeps them in his Minions refrigerator. He doesn’t store them there to make them work better, but simply to make them last longer. There are many more small, lovely moments like these. These simple things turn happiness from a brief moment into a lasting feeling. Eunseok, you are truly a good person. These pure, uncomplicated moments shine the brightest in my heart. Cr. 中原铁娘子 | Weibo 🔗show more

You and her husband are very stupid. This is... how you people want to defend yourselves after killing her. After the husband was telling everyone she was healed. After you people locked her up in a room and refused her to even go and see her father. She could not talk to anyone. Even created a nick name for her husband (the nickname was Azenabor) so his family won’t know she’s referring to him when she talks to people to help her. Your stupid church pastor told her God has healed her and that she should return 2 million naira back to the church from her donation money, he said the 2 million is the amount the church donated for her dialysis. She asked the Pastor to send evidence of the 2 million that he claims belongs to the church and he could not. Next thing the church said the money people sent to her is cursed. That the same thing killed her mother. When she’s with the pastor and her husband she has to pretend to her friends that the Agbo and prayers were working, but she confided in a few people. Even cried that she wants to go meet her father and the husband shouted her down. Your stupid friend and the Pastor told her she doesn’t need dialysis and even when her boss from work offered to give her 500,000 every month for 3 month’s dialysis, she couldn’t take the money because the boss requested for hospital evidence breakdown after every dialysis for the 3 months he’d pay and she didn’t want her boss to know she stopped dialysis because of her husband and the stupid church. People were willing to help. Don’t come on my post to say trash because if you and her stupid husband and his family piss me off, even the devil will scream blood of Jesus by the time I am done with all of you.show more

🚨EPIC: The Most Savage 4-Word Takedown in Tim Pool... History Just Happened –Cam Higby's Career Just Ended Before It Began. Hey guys, just caught this clip from Tim Pool's show where his guest straight-up asks: "Cam Higby is who?" Cam's the newly minted "Pentagon reporter" paid by TPUSA and he thought there was something ha ha funny about the very serious and credible French hit on Candace Owens. Dude strolls up to the pentagon press sec, smirks "Don't laugh" (too late, clown), then cackles through asking if they knew about the "Hit". A credible death threat on a fellow conservative's life... and this guy's treating it like a bad SNL skit? Cam Higby 🇺🇸 , if you're reading: Bro, you're not "frontline reporting" – you're the warm-up act for irrelevance. Giggling like a lil school girl at assassination plots while TPUSA pays your "salary" since August? That's not journalism; that's mocking a woman with a credible death threat to protect your paycheck. "Don't laugh"? We can't stop – you're the punchline.🤣 Candace is out here dodging real bullets (literal & figurative), and Cam's over there yukking it up to stay on payroll. Real journalist don't clown on threats; they expose 'em. Tag Cam Higby 🇺🇸 – Let him know he's the clown🤡show more

Why did they have a loophole like this in... the first place? We should have had laws like this years ago to finally stop grave site robbers and vandalism. An Ohio bill seeks to create a felony offense for taking items or decorations from a gravesite This woman was so devastated by the cruelty of others I am hurt, angry, and heartbroken. Today, I went to my son’s gravesite at Green Hill Memorial Gardens Cemetery, and what I found brought me to tears. Everything I put out there is gone. Every flower, every decoration, every piece of love I placed to honor his memory... all of it is missing. To make things worse, the metal vase that’s built into the headstone has been broken off. How could this even happen? It’s all metal and connected to the stone. There is no way this could come apart on its own. On top of that, his gravestone is sinking into the ground on the front side. After all the money, time, and care I’ve invested to make sure his resting place was beautiful and respected, this is unacceptable. I have tried calling, leaving message after message, and I will keep calling until I reach someone who can explain what happened. Families should not have to endure this kind of heartbreak and disrespect. This isn’t just about missing items… It’s about respect. Respect for my son’s memory. Respect for grieving families. Respect for every person who has to visit a cemetery because their loved one was taken too soon. Something needs to be done. Our loved ones deserve better. And so do weshow more

Gary Neville just couldn’t help himself. Sitting there itching... to criticise the US and Trump over the FIFA decision on Folarin Balogun’s one-game ban, he lands a cheap dig at the host nation: “I’d be absolutely raging if I was Belgium… Are we surprised? No. Not with this lot.” “This lot”? That’s not just criticising FIFA. By lumping the hosts as “this lot”, he’s lazily painting the entire country and its team with the same brush over a governing body decision. This is the very nation that welcomed him to America as a pundit to cover the tournament. Disrespectful doesn’t even cover it. And the hypocrisy is glaring. The exact same mechanism (FIFA suspending part of a red-card ban under Article 27) was used for Cristiano Ronaldo after his elbow in World Cup qualifying. He served one match and the rest was put on probation so he could play the tournament. Where was Neville’s outrage then? 🦗 Same rule. Same “special treatment”, but no outrage from Neville. 🤔show more

He was never lazy. Just tired all the time.... A banker by profession, he lived a life most would call “normal.” Early mornings. Long hours. Screens, numbers, deadlines. But behind the routine, something was off. He started feeling constantly drained, even after a full night’s sleep. Brain fog clouded his thinking. Fatigue became his baseline. Anxiety crept in silently. And the weight? It kept piling on no matter how little he ate. Then came the blood reports. Diabetes. Obesity. Insulin resistance. The usual prescriptions followed. Pills. Advice. More confusion. But he didn’t want to “manage” his illness. He wanted to take his life back. So he started with food clean, real, and healing. He cut what was harming him and focused on what could help. And then, he did something unexpected: He went to the farm. Not for a break, but for a rebuild. The man who once sat behind a desk was now holding a spade. Digging not just into the soil, but into himself. Every swing of the tool… was a step away from disease. He isn’t fully there yet. But he’s moving. Breathing deeper. Thinking clearer. Feeling like himself again. This isn’t just a diabetes reversal story. It’s a story of a man who refused to give up. If you’re struggling with your health, know this - Your body can heal. And you have more power than you’ve been told. One meal. One walk. One decision at a time. #RealHealing #DiabetesReversalshow more

🚨⚠️ I NEED TO SAY THIS, BECAUSE AS SOMEONE... WHO LEADS A TEAM, I KNOW EXACTLY HOW THESE THINGS WORK. ⚠️🚨 🩺 As a surgeon, I work every day with teams where every single person plays a vital role. In surgery, the anesthesiologist, scrub techs, assistants, nurses, and specialists each have a precise moment where their work must be seen, executed, and respected for the operation to succeed. If one part fails, the overall execution loses quality. 🎥 And the same applies to a stage performance. 📍There are cameramen positioned at every corner. 📍There are technical directors. 📍There are people coordinating transitions, camera cuts, and screen time. Everything is rehearsed. Everything is planned. Everything follows a script. So explain to me why, when it’s Jimin’s moment to execute his part —his lines, his center, his movements, his expressions— the camera suddenly cuts away, ignores him, or prioritizes other shots instead. 🎭📷 Because this is NOT accidental. ❌ And the fans can SEE IT. 👀 This is not about competing against other members. This is about professional respect for the work of EVERY member of BTS. A perfect performance works like a perfect surgery: ✨ every detail matters, ✨ every contribution matters, ✨ and every professional deserves to be shown at the exact moment their role is meant to shine. Jimin should not disappear from the screen during key moments of his performance. He should not be treated like background noise when he is an essential piece of the entire show. And don’t tell me I’m exaggerating. Don’t tell me everyone is treated equally. Don’t tell me anything at all. 👁️ JUST WATCH. 👁️ And if after watching you still choose to ignore it, then the problem isn’t that it doesn’t exist… the problem is that you refuse to see reality. Because to miss something this obvious, you would have to be completely blind. ⚠️🚨 And THIS is exactly why we, as fans, need to continue elevating Jimin’s music, his image, his artistry, and his impact even louder. 🎶🔥 Stream his music. Support his projects. Talk about his talent. Highlight his performances. Protect his name. Make sure the world sees what some cameras keep failing to show. Because no matter how much they try to minimize his moments… his presence is simply impossible to erase. ✨👑 BIGHIT MUSIC HYBE OFFICIAL WITH JIMIN TILL THE END WE LOVE YOU JIMIN JIMIN JIMINshow more

Watching My Son Jump Off a Cliff Was Way... Harder Than I Had Imagined! When Jesse turned 18, he did his first big wall BASE jump in the Italian Dolomites. Under canopy by 10 seconds or it's toast. That's the margin between life and death. As his dad, every instinct screamed at me to stop him. To protect him. To say absolutely not. My job as a father is to keep him safe. To use my experience to guide him away from unnecessary risk. But Jesse is his own man. Kind, humble, hard working, original. And I can't stop him jumping off stuff. As we say in our family: "Pull high, don't die." Watching your child do something that dangerous is harder than any mountain I've ever climbed. You can't control it. You can't be there. You just have to trust that you've given them the tools and the values to make good decisions on their own. Sometimes the greatest act of love is letting go. Trusting that they're ready to fly on their own. Even when every instinct is screaming to hold on. What's one moment you've had to let go as a parent or a leader?show more

I think some people are just not ready to... read this, so feel free to skip🫴🏼 The thing is, you don’t want to admit that Serhat is a human too just because he’s a man. And I will stick to that sentence and repeat it as much as I can. Not to convince you, but because it’s a fact. If you ask Ercan the last 2 episodes could literally be titled: “How to emotionally break Serhat in every possible way.” If you’ve been paying attention from the beginning, you would already know how his character is built. He’s someone who was never allowed to express his emotions. Yes, he was treated “better” as the heir but what does “better” even mean here? He wasn’t protected, he was programmed. Forced to suppress everything, to carry responsibility, to stay in control at all times. And that stayed with him. And when you grow up like that, you attract people who treat you the same way. That’s exactly what happened with M. She treated him in that same controlled, restrictive way. The only person who didn’t was Yıldız. From the very beginning, she saw the real him the vulnerable him. No matter how high he built his walls, she could still see through him. And that scared him. Not because he doubts her, but because he’s not used to being seen like that. Every time someone saw even a fraction of his softness, they used it against him (Akif, Sultan, M…all of them.) Yıldız wouldn’t do that, he knows it. But that doesn’t change the fact that having someone understand you that deeply feels overwhelming. It’s human. Now, about the hospital incident and the lack of communication… Both of them are right and wrong at the same time. This isn’t about blaming one side. Some situations are just the result of circumstances, not fault. And if you actually watch the show because you care about the characters, you’ll understand that. The lack of communication from the previous episode clearly showed in the office scene this episode. Yildiz moved forward, trying to hold onto their promise to trust each other, to let their word be one. But he was still stuck in that moment. Not because he held grudge against her, but because he knows that one small action( her taking the gun) led to much bigger consequences. And they both know that. And most importantly they are exhausted! Everything started when he went to kordağli’s mansion last ep . Then M told him she would marry his enemy and give his child his name. Then his Ortak was shot, and he had to carry him to the hospital and operate on him while injured!(an injury that was caused my Aşir himself!) almost losing him. He broke down alone!! no one even saw that because this is how Serhat is used to be🙂↕️ Then he started suspecting his own brother. Then yilidz rose the gun in front of the other ağas and that’s when all the pressure and the responsibility of maintaining control and respect not just in his family, but as an Ağa, crushed him at once! Then Yıldız was jailed because of M & the next day it was confirmed that Akif shot Aşir and he discovered his betrayal with nida and hast to give his own brother to death! Because that’s what morally correct! And then Hicran First, she was someone he was supposed to protect cuz Aşir told him to protect her. Then suddenly, she is his sister. And just as quickly, she was dying. He found out his own mother was behind her suffering. He didn’t get time to process any of it. The guilt alone is enough to destroy someone. Knowing she was always there, part of his life, and he didn’t know. That he couldn’t protect her. That he couldn’t repay her. And it didn’t stop there… He lost his status. He was manipulated by M. He was pushed further and further. Then came the final blow Hicran’s brain death. And right after that, he had to face the reality of her being an organ donor. And then… her heart goes to her killer… Anyway, since you’re all acting like superhuman creatures and these situations wouldn’t affect you at all if you were in his place then go ahead, have at it.show more

Today I had my first demo drive in a... Tesla. It was also my first time ever sitting in one. This was the first car I’ve ever sat in the driver’s seat of where I didn’t touch the steering wheel for over 20 miles. Before I even got to the car, the people who had demoed it before me were an older married couple who were absolutely euphoric. They thought it was so cool that the car could drive itself. The Tesla employee told me this happens all the time. People come back from demo drives and tell the next test driver that they’re about to have an amazing experience. Little did I know, I’d end up carrying on the torch to the next couple demoing it after me. There was a ton of construction where I demoed the car, and FSD handled the entire drive extremely well. And yes, it can go through a drive-thru and stop at each window. The only thing I had to do was tap the pedal because it wouldn’t leave on its own, but it was still wild seeing the AI stop perfectly at the second window and wait. There are a million things I could write about why a Tesla feels like a better car and how much more it offers compared to a regular car. But for now, I’ll stick to FSD. There were only two moments that made me a little uneasy. The first was pretty minor. The car slightly hesitated going up a driveway, but quickly made up its mind. The second was more noticeable. I didn’t realize the car was nagging me. Once I touched the steering wheel, nothing happened, so I pulled it right a little harder, then let go. After that, the car turned left and crossed a double yellow on a backroad. (and yes I know you can sue the volume knob) I’m not totally sure if it was trying to pull over or what it was doing. I wanted to see how it would handle the situation, but there were cars coming, so I took over and corrected it. One of the coolest moments was when I thought FSD was glitching because it came to a complete stop in the middle of a busy road. Then I looked around and realized why. On the right side, there was a bicyclist waiting at a yellow crosswalk. The cars behind me didn’t honk, and the Tesla stopping actually incentivized another car in the right lane to stop and let him pass. The car is almost too nice to pedestrians, because 99.999% of humans would’ve blown through that, especially with no flashing light. For 99.9% of the drive, the car navigated confidently and smoothly. It was a real “feel the AGI” moment. Please do not let the media, the general public, or anyone else convince you that this technology is just some kind of auto assist or glorified cruise control. This is undoubtedly getting extremely close to feeling superhuman. You still have to pay attention to the road, but after experiencing it myself, I’d be shocked if HW4 Teslas aren’t unsupervised within the next couple years. The car was extremely smooth. There was no harsh braking, and it even avoided something in the road that I didn’t see. Driving with FSD made me realize I probably wasn’t driving as well as I could be. Hopefully, eventually, everyone’s car can be as mindful as a Tesla. I’ve never seen a brand so far removed from the public’s sentiment. I’m so happy I ordered one.show more

Ex-Shelter Worker Breaks Silence: How Gangs Control Migrant Women... and Children in NYC : Exclusive. I just ran into a former employee from a New York City migrant shelter who told me a horror story that allegedly occurred while he was working there. According to him, there was a woman at the shelter with her son who said she was sexually assaulted while crossing the border. She claimed gang members forced her son and the child’s father to watch the assault. Afterward, the gang members allegedly killed the father. The former employee said that once she arrived in New York City, the gang continued to control her. He claimed the traffickers assigned her a new “fake husband” who lived with her inside the migrant hotel to keep watch over her. He said there are always gang members monitoring vulnerable migrants and keeping tabs on what they view as their “investments.” While she was here, the woman was allegedly forced to work as a prostitute on Roosevelt Avenue in Queens. According to the former employee, he begged his boss to fire him because he couldn’t take working in that environment anymore. He said he told his supervisors what was going on, but nothing happened. He admitted the situation pushed him to the brink, saying he felt so overwhelmed that he feared he might hurt one of the gang members. Eventually, he left the job. He told me that as a man, he couldn’t handle the stress of witnessing women and children being exploited and feeling powerless to stop it. On multiple occasions, I have also been told by different sources at migrant shelters that when couples arrive, the men with them are often fake fathers or partners pretending to be family members. As someone who has broken multiple human trafficking stories, I can relate to the feeling of helplessness when trying to help children and migrants who are being taken advantage of. After hearing all these stories and breaking so many of these cases, something inside me changed. By Leeroy Johnson For licensing email [email protected]show more

"Walter always said the Fourth of July was for... everyone else. His daughter used to invite him inside before the fireworks started, close the curtains, turn the television up, and pretend she wasn’t watching his hands. Walter hated that part most. He didn’t want pity. He didn’t want people whispering around him. He wanted to sit on his own porch, in his own chair, and act like the noise didn’t still reach places in him he couldn’t explain. He had come home from Vietnam a long time ago, but some nights never seemed as far away as they should have. Most days, Walter was steady. He mowed his lawn, fixed the loose rail by the steps, and waved at every neighbor who passed. Loud sudden sounds were the one thing that could still pull the room out from under him. That night, the first fireworks started before it was fully dark. Walter stayed outside anyway. He sat on the porch steps with his cap low over his face, trying to breathe through each burst like he’d done so many times before. Duke watched him from the walkway. The black shepherd mix had been with Walter for three years. He knew the small things: the way Walter’s shoulders tightened before he said he was fine, the way his fingers curled when the noise got too close, the way silence after a loud boom sometimes scared him more than the boom itself. Another firework cracked over the neighborhood, and Walter covered his face with both hands. Duke came up the steps slowly. He didn’t crowd him. He just walked close enough, waited a second, then rested his head on Walter’s knee. Walter’s hand dropped almost right away. He touched Duke’s ear, then the side of his neck, and his breathing started to slow. The fireworks kept going behind them, lighting the street in red and white, but Walter wasn’t alone with the sound anymore. After a while, he leaned forward and held Duke with both arms. “Good boy,” he whispered. Duke stayed there until the noise moved farther away. What has your dog done when they somehow knew you needed them?show more
