APRIL 2026

 Posted to Gold Shaw Farm (RE: Most Farms Lose Money) Uploaded to You Tube on 03/3/2026

When the farming crisis of late 1980's came up, with farm land that had been overvalued by banks, I was thinking what does this remind me of? Then Morgan mentioned the 2008-9 real estate crisis which arose due to residential properties being absurdly overvalued by the banks. This was explained quite entertainingly in the 2015 film, The Big Short. One of that films famous "breaking the fourth wall" commentators, all of whom professionally and clearly explained this mess, was Margot Robbie in a bubble bath. Banks get bailed out, we move on and wait for the next economic downturn. I never thought that tariffs (Canada doesn't usually get mad at any one, but they are quite irritated with the U.S. right now) were the answer to U.S. economic inequities. I also have no idea how to fix any of this. I do know that I am paying more now (in mid-2026) than in early 2025 for a seemingly endless list of necessities including but not limited to food, gasoline, electricity, natural gas. I won't get into healthcare as that is a huge problem by itself.  Maybe awareness of a problem (aka the economic snare that we habitually fall into), will be a first step towards ideas to at least stabilize our ups and downs?  THANK YOU to Morgan Gold for doing much more work for this video than I probably did for my senior thesis in philosophy. It was on Plato. I think that my grade was a C.๐Ÿ˜‰


Posted to Sarah Spaceman Surplus(Why the Princess Serenity cosplay was not completed) 04/01/2026

(NOTE Princess Serenity can be an entity linked to Sailor Moon, manga, anime etc have variants)

That is some elegant Princess Serenity cosplay. Yes the puffy sleeves may be uncomfortable. Yes some of the back beading is missing. Flaws can be turned into features (bring on the bucket 'o beads for the back & velcro for those puffy sleeves) or covered by huge features. That BOW in back is the showstopper! The front of the bodice caused me to ooo and aaah...and my monitor is OLD.  BTW that wig is spectacular. With my old unfinished craft projects, I made a n00b error as I did not keep a maker's journal or film a video of the process. I make very ornate circlets to wear at RenFaires. I have the habit of starting with one idea, getting side tracked then dumping the unfinished item into my crafting bin which I suspect has a direct line to a black hole leading to somewhere near the Andromeda Galaxy. As the date for the ye olde local RenFaire approacheth, I unearthed some old projects. This required only slightly less work than it took Indy and company to find that Grail. As of now I see mostly the flaws but not the vision. However I will persevere, mostly because I am too cheap to buy a new circlet.๐Ÿคฃ


Posted to Kjersti Flaa (RE: Entertainment News) Uploaded to You Tube on 04/.01/2026

When Kjersti said that BL indicated in her post about that theme park that she doesn't mind being humiliated in public, I started choking with laughter. Wonder if my "injury" is admissible to a civil court๐Ÿคฃ?  I understand the technique of SEO (search energy optimization), but I do not think that there is enough fluff or theme parks in the world to cover up the allegedly unethical and allegedly illegal behavior that this couple and a certain PR person perpetrated upon JB & Wayfarer. For Nicole Kidman and Simon Baker holding hands, I choose: "media stunt". My data: (1) The series Scarpetta just began filming season 2 in March 2026. (2) The Amazon contract was only for 2 seasons. (3) AI indicates that there are 29 novels in Patricia Cornwell's Kay Scarpetta series. There were 2 used in season 1. There will be 2 used in season 2 . So = 25 yet to be filmed Scarpetta books. Maybe hand-holding is to get the public amped up to want more of these two actors? (4) For all we know, Rebecca Rigg (Simon Baker's ex-wife) being a close friend of Nicole is helping by "stirring the pot"? (5)  I just can't take PR seriously anymore so who knows regarding soul mates or friends. PR's alleged mantra seems to be, disinformation distraction and misdirection. On another topic, just for a laugh, the (1897) motto of the NYT is "All the News That's Fit to Print".  That did NOT age well.๐Ÿ˜‰


Posted to NotActuallyGolden (RE: Complaints) Uploaded to You Tube on 04/01/2026

I am surprised that a younger person was "the hypothetical" in this situation. I wonder if said "hypothetical's" legal mentor was a man of a certain age? With (it is usually) men of a certain age, (50+), they can have expectations especially if the other attorney is female, but even more so regarding a "baby lawyer" of any gender. I can see by Mr. NAG's life choices that he is not the kind of man or attorney who would expect another associate to willingly process the business "chores" that he could easily do himself. I mean you have got to give those para-legals, interns and administrative assistants something to do right?๐Ÿคฃ  As for maintaining control in a meeting situation, I like to be over-prepped, be confidently and comfortably attired and make eye-contact instantly. Personally my problem is I have trouble making eye contact with any one of any status.๐Ÿ˜œ


Posted to Legal Bytes (Civil Suit--composer Lebo M. vs. comedian Learnmore Jonasi) 04/01/2026

Lebo M. is set to perform a live concert in Cape Town on April 18, 2026. Rather than make this joke both a teachable moment matched with free PR for him, the concert and tourism for that community, he has instead sued Learnmore Jonasi. What Jonasi said was clearly comedy. Jonasi's occupation is, a comedian. Jonasi has the right to be comedic without fear of a 20 million USD fine.  As a certain Canadian celebrity deep into soccer whose spouse is currently embroiled in pointless litigation has (somewhat ironically) said, "You can't sue for hurt feelings."  I would add that The Streisand Effect is a proven fact. Had Lebo shrugged it off or better yet laughed it away, that viral clip would have quickly vanished into the NeverNever Land that is the internet. Due to this lawsuit, we are all talking about it. No doubt that comedy clip has gone super-viral. Highly likely those questions/remarks/comments that Lebo finds objectionable are about to multiply considerably. IMO, The House of Mouse is probably none too pleased with this civil action. Just ask Bob Chapek what happens when That Mouse gets angry.๐Ÿ˜‰


Posted to NotActuallyGolden (Judge Limon's 100+ page decision on BL vs JB/Wayfarer) 04/02/2026

Thank you for the clarity. I agree that soon the spin will swirl around us all. Anyone trying to stay stable will have to consume virtual Benadryl (aka listening to trusted critical thinkers like NAG). I need remedial homework regarding the items in this civil lawsuit that are still on board, especially FEHA Retaliation. I know that California laws can be very inclusive. RANDOM QQQ: But what would be the cause for the defendant to retaliate against, if no SH/SA, no proof and no signed contract?  Regarding Breach of Rider, isn't a Rider designed to be written up then linked to the OG contract so that the whole process does not need to go back to square one? If that is so, then how can that Rider be enforceable? By its own legal DNA it is linked to a contract that is currently unsigned thus unenforceable? I am sure that I am missing a lot of somethings. Judge Limon's 132 (number per AI, but I believe I heard 152 pages in this video๐Ÿ˜•) page decision would answer my questions. I am not a good reader. I am still trying to speed read through Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir (currently a movie in real-life theaters) before spoilers come my way๐Ÿ˜‰.  With all the actual science (typical of a Weir novel) included, like I would in any legal documents, I have to go slow and steady or miss the points. 


Brian Entin (Updates&interviews w/confidential inf. & ret FBI Agent Steve Moore) 04/02/2026

I am only a viewer. I am not family, not LE, not even a resident of Pima County. Yet I have been stunned (and likely less than diplomatic) regarding this investigation. However I am beginning to hear the frustration, sadness, and most scarily of all, the resignation in the tones and voices of the various experts in investigation interviewed on this YT channel.THANK YOU to Brian Entin, Mo and all those experts who want to help so so badly, but can only observe. 


Fate & Fortune w/True Oracle & Lady Zelda Kelly (2024 Missing Case: Sebastian Rogers) 04/03/2026

I had not heard about this case. I wonder if this boy was lured away? Perhaps by someone he knew or maybe by a stranger? Were all tech devices in the home forensically (search history) examined? I know nothing of this boy's parents, I do know that even highly functioning people with autism can be a challenge and somewhat wearing to care for. I am not alluding fault regarding anyone. I would like to hear this mother's reason for that refusal of help. Even if so, why wasn't that refusal countermanded by LE as this was a child in danger?  I agree a "thump" in a child's room seems sus, but was this typical for this child when alone in his room before bed? I do agree with Lady Zelda, this child is forever gone.


Posted--Hannah Ricketts (LUXOR hotel/casino)Las Vegas - Worst Hotel?) Uploaded to YT 04/03/2026

Many centuries ago when there was a STAR TREK experience in LV, I was interested in going there. Sadly I never did. I noticed one machine in the Luxor hallway boasted that after 15 games you could win a free game?! I mean if that is not SAD, I do not know what is!  Also, I would be surprised if there were not restless spirits floating around with Vegas's rep over the decades. I would not award this hotel "the worst ever" as that inclinator looked like fun and those hallways are perfect for Shining cosplay to be posted on IG. However, multiple, huge mystery stains are my final straw in hotels. An unhappy thought, imagine what might be visible with a UV blacklight? Yeah, let's not go there.  Sorry, we (I live in NE part of the U.S.) damaged your throat. TRY this regime: mix equal parts (tablespoon or two) honey/lemon in tea. Tea should be warm not hot, stirred not shaken๐Ÿ˜‰.  Now run a hot shower, close the door and spend some time in there (maybe drag in a comfy floor cushion) reading a non-virtual book while continuously sipping your tea for probably at least 30-40 minutes. Thank you for your service and stamina๐Ÿคฃ.


Posted to Kjersti Flaa (Legacy Media Reactions to Judge Limon's Ruling) Uploaded to YT 04/03/2026

Kjersti makes it easier to understand and funny, so THANK YOU! I agree that JB/Wayfarer allegedly harming BL's rep is hilarious: (1) By BL's (alleged) decree, the Wayfarer party including the director of the film, JB were relegated to the basement next to the extra water bottles for the premiere party. Why would JB endanger his reputation, his financial investment, his company even with this petty action? (2) JB/Wayfarer OWNED and intended to film, (I assume that they still do) the sequel to IEWU. Again why would JB endanger his/Wayfarer's investment in this IP? The PR in legacy media regarding Judge Limon's decision is beyond spin. IMO it is fantasy for simpletons. Also IMO, expecting the public to believe this fluff is demeaning to us all (class action anyone?๐Ÿคฃ) I am guessing any motion to delay the trial (currently 05/18/2026) would not be approved by Judge Limon. I still believe that 24 (maybe 48) hours before the trial is scheduled to begin, there will be a settlement with more NDAs than could fill any ballroom any where in the U.S.  BTW is this a good horror movie title, "Be Careful What You Wish For: The Rise of The PGA Mark"? 

Pinned by @Flaawsometalk (in the comment section to the above video) What do you think Blake will do next? Will she try to settle?                                MY COMMENT TO THE PINNED COMMENT:  Next will be PR, PR and more PR. IMO the plaintiff's side will try to have the trial date delayed, maybe even (allegedly) blaming Judge Limon's ruling (that would be a BIG error). I do think that there will be a settlement initiated by the plaintiff's side 24 hours before the court date. That date is currently May 18, 2026. Time to copyright those, "YES, I too signed an NDA" tee shirts.๐Ÿคฃ


Posted to NotActuallyGolden (RE: Lively's Legal Team Spokesperson Sigrid McCawley) 04/03/2026

Yes I saw a clip of Sigrid McCawley's statement. If I did not hear the entire statement (AI indicates it was 1 - 2 minutes), then I apologize. From what I have seen, I agree that Sigrid McCawley sounds oddly dispassionate, rote, even robotic in her choice of words and verbal delivery. I am not saying that she should be standing in front of a line of singers from Hamilton with fireworks overhead, but it all sounded (allegedly) soulless to my ears. While IMO Bryan Freedman's statement sounded effective, professional and without hyperbole. 


Posted to Brian Entin (NewsNation producer Allison Weiner and her experiences & book) 04/03/2026

I am not sure if this would alleviate crime, but due to strict light pollution laws, Nancy Guthrie's neighborhood is quite dark except for motion sensitive lighting next to or on private residences. Less light is great for astronomy tourists, the environment (wildlife, ecosystems) and saving energy. It also assists in hiding human predators as are those local flood prevention tunnels. Are the tunnels in that area (AI says last flood was 1970, but global warming could change that stat in the future) equipped with any interior/exterior motion sensitive lighting powered by solar panels or better yet viewable remotely? Arizona should be proactive. A review of all of its County Sheriffs would ensure that these sheriffs are effective leaders in the communities which elected them to serve and to protect. Like Brian Entin, I am also hopeful that the DNA inside NG's home will be the snare to bring these criminals to justice. However the lack of a proper securing of the scene would enable most defense attorneys to challenge and toss any DNA evidence on a technicality. BTW any amendment or addition to current light pollution laws could be called Nancy's Safe Law. Thank you Brian, Mo and Allison for keeping Nancy Guthrie in the public eye.


Posted to Celebrity Spy (Judge Limon removing all but 3 counts from BL vs JB/Wayfarer) 04/03/2026

Celebrity Spy has done an excellent job of keeping up with this whole fiasco. This celebrity-helmed circus comes to town on May18, 2026 (unless postponed). There are people who believe that they are the center of the universe, the brightest star ever seen. They may believe that they are beyond the need to adhere to rules or to any changes. For a while, they are successful in maintaining their illusion. It only takes one anomaly (or perhaps one ethical person...with a wealthy & ethical partner) to change things. One result could be that the once bright star enters a process of becoming energy-deficient, cold, and powerless. Of course I am only making an analogy via a scientific observation on a star originating in the physical universe where we all live. That is the analogy IMO that I see when I look at this debacle using up court time and tax money.๐Ÿ˜œ


Posted to Rachel Maksy (Ratings of all clothing made on this channel in 9 yrs) Uploaded 04/03/2026

My baseline for completed crafts or clothing is simple. If I can wear it or use it, (includes within my own premises) I have succeeded. I agree with the comments: remake, repair redo all the "re"s of items you still have or are keeping. It is CONTENT. Such as: (1) make a skirt or secret pants to match the mushroom-sleeved top. (2) hang the wallpaper dress on your wall in your current home if that is where it was made. If not ship it to the old home, (3) somehow the Disco dress and the Bat Wings need to be combined and attached to a ceiling fan (check for "shedding" 1st), (4) try to combine the Selkie-dup dress with the chainmail dress. I feel they need to be joined, somehow.  My favs (in no particular order) are: Katrina Van Tassel  dress, Autumn Leaf dress, Mary Poppins dress, Frankenstein's M-coat, EverAfter dress, both Titanic looks, the Pumpkin apron and last but not least Wishbone.


Posted to Andrea Burkhart (Trial Day10-Thursday - Ioan Gruffudd vs, ex-wife Alice Evans) 04/03/2026

Replay crew here. Until recent posts on this channel I had no idea this was going on. I hope this Judge applies his critical thinking skills to his verdict. If he (the judge) is having such a problem with Alice, such as getting worn down by her tangents, having to fight for coherent (aka yes, no, I do not remember) responses and advising the defendant (instead of her own attorney?) not to break her own HIPAA, then what has Ioan Gruffudd had to deal with all these years? IMO, her testimony in court may have been her first acting job (beyond Cameo) in years. Her testimony, whether acted or this is her actual self, speaks more to the veracity of the plaintiff's cause than to the defendant's. I just hope that both daughters have not been brought up by Alice, to be Alice. Thank you Andrea for providing commentary to this case. 


Posted to Scott Rouse (RE: Testimonies of Gerhardt Konig and Arielle Konig) Uploaded 04/04/2026

I found the defendant unbelievable from moment one. He spoke too quickly, IMO not due to nerves, it was as if he had to get his point across. Plus when he spoke his eyes/head moved too quickly just as his voice had. I love Scott saying trust me on this you would be thinking about that body part. So she was still holding on while he leaned over to reach for a rock? Ah, imagination goes wild in regards to measurements. I have not been following this trial too closely, I do know the charge is attempted second-degree murder with a sentence of life in prison with the possibility of parole. I know innocent until proven guilty, but my first thought is that I hope the children are adults before Konig gets out of prison. I obviously have an "opinion" on the future verdict.  Konig's son from his previous marriage is a credit to his mom and step-mom.  BTW people have commented on the wife being very much in control. She is literally a rocket scientist (aka a nuclear engineer). Staying in control, managing stress and being on point is probably in her job description!


Posted to Kjersti Flaa (Convo w/Attorney John Genga - Kjersti's atty during subpoenagate) 04/03/2036

During the life of this case, the plaintiff has allegedly either taken bad advice or simply not listened to good advice. While it does seem like if she is true to form, BL would make the worst possible decision, aka go to court. However, the only way for her to spin this her way is NOT to go to trial. Without a public trial, the plaintiff can blame everyone else. Tell her own story (but avoid Amber Heard-type errors). IMO the only one who can stop this is RR. I would watch for "signs": (1) maybe BL/RR want to move to UK to be closer to the soccer team  (2) maybe BL/RR will indicate the children have been stressed and need to live in a calm area like the French countryside (3) maybe there will be scriptwriting plans with RR's WGA and BL's PGA forming a new production company in someplace quiet (maybe Ireland) to create new properties showing the power that women can have if they speak out...along with other tropes, ad infinitum. 

QUESTION: assuming this case does go to court with the verdict in favor of Baldoni, could this mean the 106 content creators/new media/journalists be able to successfully request and receive attorney reimbursement? Would that require 106 lawsuits? Or could this group form a class action to save money?


Posted to The Behavioral Arts (RE: Oprah Interview with Kristin Cabot) Uploaded to YT 04/04/2026

I am guessing that Kristin Cabot is either up for a high level job somewhere or she is writing a book. Otherwise why this Oprah interview? I agree that Oprah is aware of what is going on. However Oprah is there to provide a show with entertainment and information not stress and confrontation. So Oprah knew while Kristin is "spinning" and she is NOT good at it. Now the audience images were intriguing. Were these people actors or heavily coached by the shows's producer? Their expressions looked overdone, like background players in a broadway comedy. Whatever Kristin Cabot has done should not result in any doxing or threats. These behaviors are unacceptable, dangerous and obviously criminal. Spidey take heart, after daycare/early preschool we adults begin to develop stronger immune systems. Just keep up with all appropriate vaccinations. Oh and every household member washes their hands when they come home.

While I fear for her sanity, IMO that just before trial date a settlement will arise wearing the invisibility cloak of innumerable NDA's.

MY COMMENT ;

The only way BL and RR can, allegedly, manage this mess is NOT to go to trial thus control the spin.  PSA: do not go full "AmberHeard". Meanwhile with every statement no matter from whom, on the plaintiff's side, I just shake my head in disbelief. We have seen behind the curtain guys. We have a fair guess as to who is pulling the strings. THANK YOU Kjersti, your commentary reminds me of that Hans Christian Anderson story of The Emperors New Clothes. We now see the truth behind the celebrity.


Posted to Celebrity Spy (RE: Hollywood "Glow-ups" are traps and false promises)  04/05/2026

Thank you for bringing up this subject. Not too many people are posting about this phenomenon. There are so many cautionary tales via then and now videos. Why are people doing this anyway?  I suppose there can be a "won't be me" mindset. Or you are wealthy enough to fix anything. Ironically what "factories", physicians or anyone who about human faces should be telling teens what are the actual enemies which can harm faces and bodies:  (1) protect against sun damage (2) avoid smoking/smoky rooms (3) keep well-hydrated (4) exercise moderately, as your future self will have naturally thinning bones. That is the secret solution  (and yes heredity can be a factor) which will enable you to be your best self in reality, not just someone who looks fantastic in photos.


Posted to Observe (RE: Nancy Guthrie abduction - full video Monday 04/06/2026) 04/05/2026

The abduction of Nancy Guthrie, an 84 year old physically, but not mentally, disabled woman is devastating and unimaginable. There are multiple relevant factors: (1) a home without enough cameras (exterior), (2) a back door habitually left unlocked, (3) a elderly woman with a famous daughter who featured her mom in various videos, including that last one (10/2025) in a local Tucson restaurant, (4) laws on exterior lighting which leave Nancy Guthrie's community in darkness except for motion sensitive lighting on the resident's own property or full moons, (5) tunnels created for flood control, but can be excellent for those who wish their movements to be covert, (6) a local sheriff's department understaffed regarding experienced investigators with an elected leader* who is...problematic (*there is footage of a presser shortly after Nancy Guthrie's disappearance that is quite revealing). Looking forward to Monday's analysis. 


Posted to Kjersti Flaa (RE: Plaintiff's legal & PR team is trying to spin Judge Liman's ruling)04/08/2026

Wait did BL add a glamour filter (@1:10-1:15) for her CARROT CAKE post? Why am I not shocked. That seems sloppy of SONY in not paying or even giving credit to the choreographer for that dance performed by Deadpool (originally done for NSYNC). Could the choreographer have sold the rights to NSYNC or their management company? The choreographer's case depends on how, or if, that artist had filed for a copyright. I have listed a link to a Short from NotActually Golden which may not exactly apply but can give some insight into the choreographers case.    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qzTyoGEAuY    This describes a 2022 copyright infringement law suit concerning Tracy Anderson vs. Megan Roup, both dance fitness trainers. Not sure if the verdict was ever appealed. However, I seem to remember that the judge indicated in his ruling that these "dance" exercises were more exercise than dance thus not a unique artistic product, or something like that. So he found for the defendant, Megan Roup. My advice to SONY, settle ASAP.


Brian Entin (New NG Ransom Letter & convo w/True Crime With Sarge) Uploaded 04/06/2026

Again thank you Brian (and you too Mo) for keeping this case in the news. I enjoyed the convo with True Crime With Sarge. He always makes his points clearly and concisely. The anonymity of the internet can be a positive or a negative. In this situation, I believe it to be a negative. The involvement of TMZ adds to my pessimism. Still, I would hope that the FBI does everything in its power to investigate the origin of this or any message. I do not find the fact that this new note appeared on Savannah Guthrie's first day back at work to be a coincidence. Neither do I find that timing to lend any additional credence to this note. While I am not dismissing the fact these criminals may have escaped to Mexico, it would not be wise. Think about it. Cartels want anonymity. The last thing they want is daily PR. IMO hyper-focused FBI may not be a cartel's biggest nightmare, but the risk this extra attention would cause, is antithetical to their mode of operation.



Posted to Fate and Fortune with True Oracle and Lady Zelda Kelly (RE: Nancy Guthrie) 04/06/2026

This hypothesis is LONG, as Lady Zelda Kelly has inspired me.

I agree with Zelda, in that there were 3 criminals (not counting The Leader) who were there that night. I feel that there were 2 at NG's home with one parked nearby in a car or van. These 3 had help from those not at the scene. Most of these "helpers" did not know the actual reason why their assistance was needed. 2 of these criminals were/are tied by relationship or by blood with one of the 2 very much under the control of the other. These 2 were promised ransom-level payment. These 2 acquired a 3rd who was likely under the impression that this was only to be a home burglary. The Leader who found the 2, did not give the real reasons for the abduction or details such as the victim's health to the 2. Whatever the Leader's reasoning was, this plan began formulation during the 2025 visit of Savannah and Nancy to the local Tucson restaurant. The 3 bungled this badly. The extra minutes spent in the home may have involved shouting, confusion and cell calls as the 2 attempted to call The Leader. These calls were likely unanswered or even not connected to a cell tower. Continuing to bungle this, the 2 took NG. Were all the flood tunnels close to NG's home checked? I feel that one might have been a "safe place", until the 3rd parked the vehicle arrived close by with the 3rd going to help the 2 with NG. IMO she was barely alive when she was placed into a car or van. Sadly these (now 3) panicked criminals still could not agree to a course of action, hence Nancy soon was gone. There is only a small window of time when individuals can be successfully treated for a deliberate or accidental blow to the head resulting in an intra-cerebral hemorrhage. I hypothesize that Nancy's cardiovascular system still functioned within a normal percentage, hence the pacemaker showing a healthy heart until she was out of range.  IMO she was placed somewhere in a park or preserve such as Saguaro National Park. Off the popular hiking trails, but near water (as Zelda said) where animals grazed, drank, hunted and were hunted. Where she is now who knows, but it has to be somewhere in the western/southern U.S.? Neither the Canadian or the Mexican borders would be easy to pass through without an inspection. My love and prayers to the Guthrie family in that someday they may heal and move on.


Observe (Interview of Savannah Guthrie by Hoda Kotb for Today Show re: Nancy Guthrie) 04/06/2026

Along with a study on people blind since birth people regarding eye directional movements, I would like to add another group, high functioning adults (and children) on the autism spectrum. For me maintaining eye contact is like the physical act of standing still while holding a heavy object for hours. To add even more to a lifetime of social disasters, I carry that infamous RBF (if you know you know๐Ÿ˜‰) gene. I have been raptly following the Nancy Guthrie abduction (comments made on Observe's brief intro video published 04/05/2026). From what I have seen of Hoda Kotb's past interviews, this one is right on her baseline. Impartiality is not one of her strengths. I do not see anything shown by Savannah Guthrie in this interview as being faked. She is treading a very thin internet line, of showing "just enough, but not too much" grief. If she is keeping anything hidden it would be concerning the elements of the Pima County Sheriff's Department and FBI investigations. I do not feel the wiping away of "fake tears" is sus. Sometimes I do that to regain control when emotional. At least for me it is almost reflexive, like scratching an itch. Also were that me I would be on meds, not heavy duty, but something to slightly flatten my emotions, yet allow me self-control. IF, Savannah Guthrie is on meds such as certain depressants (mood stabilizers), especially if new meds, there might be side effects such as minor tics, including but not limited to eye itching/ face touching. I appreciate Observe's impartiality and willing to be called out on several points. An open mind to other opinions is a mind willing to learn new things. I find that trait invaluable, so THANK YOU. 


Posted to Allegedly Golden (RE: Podcast Episode 15) Uploaded to YT on 04/06/2026

That footnote form Judge Liman's ruling gave clarity to the survival of the retaliation claim via FEHA. This was VERY clear as read by NAG with whom I am so in step with that at absolutely no expenditure of energy on my part I have acquired a cold along with the requisite accessories: headache, body ache and a nose seemingly without an off switch. Back to Judge Liman, as NAG explained Judge Liman is allowing this to go forward to avoid the precedent of judicial overstepping. I think sometimes we want so much from the court system that we forget about precedents being set which down the road could prove problematic. I am guessing that footnote is also why the plaintiff's side does not have to pay legal fees regarding that 100+ subpoenas? QUESTION, if the jury determines that all the plaintiff's evidence is inadequate for a guilty verdict for the defendant, does this open the path for those 100+ to sue for attorney fees? For me I would take my finances and go home rather than spend more cash on a defendant with personal wealth and an even wealthier spouse. Both of whom appears to have lost (allegedly of course) their critical thinking skills, "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away....". I owe my current love of fantasy, ethics, hope and the resilience to Star Wars. Thank you GL

I am a regular viewer of NotActuallyGolden and the pod AllegedlyGolden, still with Dave Neal's questions I got a better understanding of this case. Dave always manages to find questions to ask which helps clarify issues that give me a headache (not enough RAM I guess๐Ÿ˜‰). I still cannot believe that the plaintiff will actually and willingly go to court.  The only way for BL to truly win is to settle out of court with NDAs and then the spin will commence. PSA: Never go full "Amber Heard" in your spin.


Posted to Kjersti Flaa (Media & Assorted Attorneys reaction to Judge Liman's152 pg ruling) 04/07/2026

While no doubt someone will win this trial (aka the battle) via a jury's verdict, no one will win the war. The damage inflicted on the reputations of both sides will be massive. As Kjersti pointed out, even though in 2022 Johnny Depp's side won the U.S. trial (not the U.K. trial), it has taken years for Depp to  even partially become re-accepted by Hollywood. I do believe that JB wishes to go to trial, however he has less to lose at this point. BL and RR's alleged fall from grace has been analogous to a plummet off the summit of Mt. Everest. I am not sure which of the lawyers quoted in this video said this, but BL's best hope was to have the judge throw everything out and there be no trial. As that is not likely to happen before May 18, her only course is to settle with NDAs. Then she can spin the story however RR (allegedly the puppet master) wishes. Just do not go "full Amber Heard". This has been a wild ride. Time for the clown show to get off that super coaster and go home.

Replay crew here. Thank you EDB for making me laugh. I enjoyed that vacation. The Great KitKat Heist of 2026 (I assume the remaining months of the calendar year will not involve chocolate crimes exceeding 12 tons, will be forever in annals of time and in our memories. Wait is that 12 tons with or without the truck? Addendum: Maybe just me, if I ordered boneless wings for my child, then my child choked on a bone, I would be...irritated and potentially litigious. Perhaps KitKat is just breaking those lemons to make lemonade, but hmm is this heist allegedly convenient? The literal shelf life of this "loot" seems to limit its profitability and distribution, but people be weird.

I too take multiple meds (whether sick or healthy) with about 2/3 being supplements. Bags within bags was mentioned. Guess how I store my meds at home, bags within bags. All my bags are into the real world is a mini backpack. Meds in there are only generic travel size acetaminophen, hand wipes and bandages. For clean cuts (aka those that are not infected), I recommend hydrocolloid bandages. They are pricier than ordinary ones, but heal cuts faster, look more natural and are waterproof.  CHEWABLE toothpaste that actually cleans? Now that is something that I will have to try.

Yes I laughed, yes I was impressed with that stair-leap along with a demonstrably deft dodge around a cult member. I am just afraid this will be attempted by someone not cognizant of the legal system and the unfortunate U.S. status of this cult as a "church" thus tax-exempt. I agree with spirit of this activism, it was a joy to watch. Just be careful out there!  This center indicating that they are an organization welcome all to come and learn about this cult, oops I mean Scientology, behaving like a bougie, snooty, exclusive club is the textbook example of irony.


Brian Entin (Nancy Guthrie Updates-interview w/ret. SP. Agt.FBI Maureen O'Connell) 04/08/206

Hypothesis for the lack of an FBI profile on the criminal is that there are likely multiple participants (not talking about a cartel). I speculate that this crime had at least 4 involved:  (1) ONE person or persons, obsessed with, or angry at, the Guthrie family (2) this obsessed individual then hires TWO people to take NG, but give them no data regarding NG's fragility (3) these TWO hire ONE driver/thief who may have thought that this would be a home burglary. Hence there are multiple profiles as there are multiple motives. Again all speculation on my part. THANK YOU Brian, Maureen O'Connell (you too Mo) for these updates and interviews.

Maybe instead of profiting from overpriced religious literature, these people should do a quick read of their merchandise? Along with that quote Charlie mentioned from Matthew 21:12-13: about turning a sacred place into a den of thieves. I could also recommend Proverbs 22:8 - "Whoever sows injustice reaps calamity".  And then there is the ever popular, ever valid, often ignored, Galatians 6:7 -  "you reap what you sow". Hey this one is for ICE:  Leviticus 19:33-34: "When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born.

THANKS to Runkle for discussing such a difficult case.There are no happily ever afters in this recounting of such a short life which ended not for health reasons, not in an accident, but in one final despicable act after years of mistreatment and abu3e. No trial or verdict can give Sandra Birchmore back her life. The least that can be done for her now is to be sure that the individual who took away her future is punished. To save future innocents, the environment where evil felt comfortable, safe and secure must be changed. To protect and to serve should not be fiction, it should be fact.

Thank you, this was another excellent interview. While I might need to rewatch this video a few times, I do feel more educated about DNA in regards to its viability, testing and relationship with crime investigations. CeCe Moore brings up a good point in that currently we stand more of a risk due to our data being sold/misused than our DNA. However DNA could also be still be misused in ways we cannot yet see. The insurance lobby is quite effective. Which leads me to speculate that insurance carriers might be allowed to make even more decisions on allowed care without first checking for pre-existing conditions or even DNA for possible inherited tendencies towards certain disorders. Privacy laws need to be strictly worded to limit invasive searches of any kind specifying access to our data and our DNA is limited to searches for violent criminals.

Beautiful dress! As was said, being a trained tailor is a huge savings. Can you imagine if you charged yourself for the creation/tailoring/fittings involved? I think the most important lesson that most of us can learn is that both thrifting our fabrics and checking our own material stash is something to which we should consider the default method. The reveal strongly reminded me of two iconic looks: (1) Madam X by John Singer Sargent and (2) the "New Look" silhouette as popularized by Dior in the late 1940's - late 1950's. Again the silhouette, final look was perfection. It would be flattering on many body types and heights. The classic look could blend into most of the modern decades. Just beware the accessories, they can tell a tale.๐Ÿ˜‰

Lady Gaga did some performances with jazz legend Tony Bennett.When he was diagnosed with a type of dementia in 2016-2017, she performed with him when he needed assistance in remembering lyrics and people. Who knows, what happened during that wheelchair incident at the Oscars. Maybe Lady Gaga, did overstep that night, made false assumptions, hard to say at this point. However whatever happened that night, I do not think that Lady Gaga intended harm. At this point there is no winning. A private one-on-one apology perhaps arranged by their respective managers is the best that can happen.  BTW Enjoyed seeing Magnus. He has the kind of sense of humor I envy, low key, subversive with amazing timing.


Posted to Kjersti Flaa (RE: BL Updates and Jim Carrey's "new" face) Uploaded to YT 03/02/2026

Megan Twohey was one of the journalists who broke the story of the incidents linked to (now ex-) producer Harvey Weinstein. One would think that such a journalist would be courageous, ethical and a critical thinker. The following is all speculation on my part, all alleged, all IMO, what if that acclaim became something that was wanted, even needed again regarding a certain award winning (2018 Pulitzer)  journalist? Still no excuse for the NYT as they probably have a staff of expensive lawyers on retainer and editors who know what can happen if you do not fact check. I agree with Kjersti Flaa, this case is the human equivalent of an imploding star (talking celestial not Hollywood) dragging in any matter (aka clueless humans) in its vicinity into that event. As for Jim Carrey's new face, I was fine until I saw the "old " Jim Carrey's face, then I was shocked. Knowing Jim Carrey's acerbic, often odd sense of humor, I feel that he was self-aware and decided to own it. I also would not put it past him to "temporarily" alter his face as a middle-finger to media.

Allegedly (some celebrities/especially wannabe celebs are fond of law suits), let's say that a litigant has 2 minor children who will need years of financial support along with perhaps other (unnamed here) debts incurred by the minors' current guardian. WHY, allegedly, in a court of law try to bankrupt the entity paying you ALL that money? I am not sure what the criteria are for being declared legally insane, but I have a feeling a judicial scholar could find one or two other inclusions based upon all the litigation in this case.  BTW appreciate the fashion (and thread) data.๐Ÿ˜‰

It was a n00b mistake to call an image for NYFashion Week as being in 2026 instead of 2023. The possible (and always alleged) answers that Kjersti seeks for comprehending the motivation for freezing JB out by using rumors and untruths BEFORE the IEWU premiere could allegedly be: (1) BL/RR allegedly felt that IEWU would do "ok or better" no matter what occurred due to the power of Team Hoover (Colleen Hoover). (2) It was necessary to make JB "fall out of love" with this IP so that he would willingly sell all rights to this IP. (3) These PR pieces cosplaying as news might also lower the selling price of said IP (just for grins, and allegedly, for the benefit to Maximum Effort). And finally (4) Allegedly there are some (not all) PR reps out there who appear to have confused their abilities as regular humans with the omnipotence of you know who.  Apologies: all extraneous alleged and allegedly mentions are brought to you by that new show, "Celebrities Be Litigious" which is NOT playing in a cinema near you and NOT available in any streaming service, yet๐Ÿคฃ.


Posted to Brian Entin (RE:Interview with retired FBI profiler Jim Clemente) Uploaded on 03/03/2026

I appreciate Brian Entin analyzing phrases of any statement from the Pima County Sheriff's Office. The expertise of that organization's leadership has been proven to be wanting. I agree that Jim Clemente was a powerful, important interview. His hints (new behavior, odd declarations, unusual actions such as cleaning the interior of their car repeatedly) to watch for is probably how this case will be solved. A friend, relative or neighbor who saw something then will say something. I believe fear of discovery to be more of an inducement at this point than money. Only my uneducated speculation is that these criminals are a combination of at least 3 people: (1) the leader (at least this person believes themself to have that title) who is obsessed (either due to self-delusion of a relationship or an imagined grudge concerning a Guthrie family member but not necessarily Savannah. (2) support person A who firmly believes in the leader either due to affection or fear and (3) support person B who was in this strictly for the money was not aware of any other reason for this abduction until after the fact. Why none have broken ranks could be due to expected retaliation by the leader on those who contact LE.


Posted to NotActuallyGolden (RE: EP 10 of Allegedly Golden pod) Uploaded to YT on 03/03/2026

To explain my behavior in group activities (beyond avoidance of course) is to state that I am very good at the concept of "parallel play". I am unaffiliated with any political party (I am registered to vote), religion or any organization with membership rules or guidelines. While I have not kept up with the social media trial, I do know that even back in the olden days of 2012-2016, the internet was still a dangerous place for any unattended child. Most likely the defense will blame the parents. However I sure the court will also hear that the algorithm on META sites (and others) is designed to give any user more of the same. This "same" is seemingly not vetted for safety or accuracy by the algorithm or its coders. Erika Girardi, please simply typing her name gives me "ick". Talking about "ick" the defendants in all those Karen Read civil suits equates to ick time a million. The civil suit brought against Karen Read by the O'Keefe Family for the wrongful d3ath (of Officer John O'Keefe) takes us back to the subject of this pod's opener. The O'Keefe family were in court every day of every trial (there were 2). Not sure why, but the father was not there for trial 2. IMO due to "cult-like" obedience of certain members of the O'Keefe family to the Norfolk County DA's office, the MSP and the Canton LE, they will never change their viewpoint concerning KR. A viewpoint change would force the family to admit that they were wrong about "this cult". It would also deny them the false comfort that "this cult" has been to this family since Officer John O'Keefe was found unresponsive on the lawn of 34 Fairview Road. If the wrongful d3ath suit is dismissed w/o prejudice, easy call, the O'Keefe Family will file  another law suit. If suit is dismissed w/prejudice they will continue to maintain solidarity with all members of "the cult" then find an attorney somewhere who will be willing to file a futile civil law suit further depleting the inheritance and financial support of Office O'Keefe's  2 children. This is a very sad case, all around.

It is an interesting case, glad you analyzed it.  QUESTION: First background - The core (pun intended and like my core, it is weak๐Ÿคฃ) of Anderson's business is exercise, What if Anderson's exercise routines were segmented where each section of the routine began with its own special lighting, a new scent from a diffuser and even an original haiku written/spoken by Anderson, but not copyrighted. Let's say former employee R lifted this entire routine with all the pomp and circumstance to use in their own business. Maybe former employee R slightly changed the words within the haiku. ACTUAL Q: Would the court still find for former employee R? My guess is yes as businesses of both individuals present the same primary objective of exercise.

Haha, 1st thought was what is going on with Justin Baldoni now? He has enough going on. If Justin Timberlake were anyone let's say "Justin Smith" then as NAG said only identifying items should be redacted. As for anyone or  "Justin Smith" finding this video embarrassing or harmful to their employment, so sad too bad. IMO, FOIA wins over problematic life choices. My reasoning is the existence (aka precedent) of all those LE reality shows where an alleged drunk personA is trying to convince an officer that alleged drunk personA has rights, as such they cannot be arrested. Sometimes alleged drunk personA's face is blurred, but often is not. However we do not get to know where alleged drunk personA lives or banks for example. Guessing journalism (and SH LE) will win. Interesting though, I did not know about the "First Amendment Clinic" at Cornell Law School. Judging by recent national and international events, the U.S. Bill of Rights needs a very supportive clinic right now.


Posted to NotActuallyGolden (TikTok Psychic case finally resolved in favor of law professor)03/04/26

A certain TikTok psychic needs to reevaluate their career path. While experts should deal with those who have mental health issues, it is also undeniable some plaintiffs latch onto the litigation itself as if it were an addictive substance. An acquaintance (aka the defendant) was sued for 50,000+ USD. In actuality the plaintiff was not eligible for more than 10,000-15,000 USD. Neither party would accept negotiation. After 15 years of litigation, a judge mercifully offered an end (with prejudice) to this case with an award of 25,000-30,000 (not sure of amount) USD given by the defendant to the plaintiff. IMO there were mental health issues involved in varying degrees in both the plaintiff and the defendant. One was obsessed while the other was obstinate beyond reason. Oh BTW, this litigation was between a brother and a sister. The source of this money, their mom and dad. QUESTION: What can be done if one of the parties has a mental health issue? Would stopping the misuse of the courts by wannabe psychics and others be dependent upon a more comprehensive and nation-wide implementation of SLAPP/anti-SLAPP rather than at (U.S.) state discretion?

Isn't the PR world full of people learning their craft then moving on after a year or two? Jennifer Abel was in her right (contract permitting of course) to leave and start her own company. She is unfortunate in that she is now the poster child for never mixing your personal data/number with or on your work phone. Dave Neal has an excellent idea about Jennifer Abel writing a book. However, I would like to add, first discuss this idea with your attorney along with an attorney familiar with libel issues. BTW, those Wayfair commercials, always make me smile. Lt Lee Larson presented a good analogy with the group that is currently in control of all of lives that is essentially a political cult that misuses faith for votes and to acquire power. Seeing their followers depart has made impressions on some Washington DC politicians who have also departed. While it is hard to watch family members and friends struggle as they begin to doubt those cult-like beliefs, these people need breathing time to fully leave the high maintenance cult behind and move forward.

I am guessing it is because I choose my battles wisely๐Ÿ˜‰?  For Jennifer Abel waking up every morning to the nightmare that has been her life for the last 2 years, is unimaginable. Perhaps May 2026 (trial date) will change things for her? BTW Dave Neal (Rush Hour on YT) had an interesting take on Abel. She should own this disaster by writing a book/screenplay. I would add that Abel should first check with her attorney. I laughed at the statement regarding Margot Robbie's director leaving the project. It is simply adorable that PR/legacy media still assumes that the public believes these statements. At least, as of this comment, no one is trying to turn this departure into a faux GoT via unhinged PR and celebrity egos. In an industry that makes money on art and creativity there will always be disagreements. People will always leave. Someone is just going to have to come out with a new statement, as "creative differences" is making us all laugh.


Posted to Observe (RE: Jim Carrey at the Cesare Awards in France) Uploaded to YT 03/07/2026

Thank you to Observe for methodically and clearly showing that was Jim Carrey at The Cรฉsar Awards in France. Jim Carrey immerses himself in film roles. Best example was during his starring role in 1999 film about Andy Kaufman, "Man On The Moon". This was almost an inception Carrey as it was Carrey becoming Andy Kaufman on and off set of that movie. Andy Kaufman (famous for a 1970's series Taxi) was himself famous for immersing himself in roles on and off set. IMO Jim Carrey was totally self-aware of his appearance. It is well-known that any facial procedures (from topical to surgical) need time "to settle". Perhaps that work done on his face was the "mask" (The Mask [1994] is one of my top 5 fav films of Jim Carrey) needed to both make that stressful speech in French along with managing the sadness of his Dad's passing. Think of the magician (The Incredible Burt Wonderstone [2013] which is not one of my fav Jim Carrey Films) getting their audience to look here not there, aka distraction and misdirection. Now that would be the Jim Carrey that I have learned to respect and appreciate over the years. Bravo Jim Carrey, bravo.


Posted to Brian Entin (RE: What about those accused online before facts and evidence available)

This video was not preachy at all. It is highly relevant in our times when rogue internet users go on a "snipe hunt" or try to imitate Sherlock Holmes. I wonder on whose authority, data (Pima Count Sheriff's Dept or FBI or both) were those two homes searched, yet as of this date yielding nothing except for problems for those residents. The TikTok psychic case is IMO an example of how the courts' time and resources are being wasted by those with Dunning-Krueger syndrome. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/dunning-kruger-effect. The irony is, whether Tarot readings or even psychic visions, the responses acquired are always an impression, a feeling maybe even a metaphor for the actual event. I have zero psychic abilities, but even I know that. IMO visions or readings do not result in a mental printout (or even via "spirit writing") clearly showing a full name, occupation, work address and motive. This video was a valid topic in any criminal investigation. THANK YOU Brian Entin, you always bring the impartiality, clarity and critical thinking to any topic.


Posted to Kjersti Flaa (RE: Discussions about "new faces" on older celebrities) Uploaded 03/08/2026

Love Kjersti commentaries, but Magnus adds even more enjoyment. What I dislike about aging personally is the grey hair and finding it harder to lose weight. As for actors (or anyone whose appearance impacts their job), I can understand the anxiety and stress as they age out of roles. Sadly and ironically many are actually aging themselves with fillers or fat removal. Due to the impact on the skin, muscle structure, once you start it is difficult to stop. IMO losing roles or awards is dependent on your level of fame pre "new face".  Most of the movies that I watch these days are on my computer monitor, so maybe that is why I have not noticed frozen faces. Perhaps truly gifted/well-trained actors still can vocalize, move their bodies, heads, limbs in a way to enhance their performances sufficiently for an award? That image of Kelly Osborne was shocking. I can only wish her health and happiness. In that recent interview at The Cรฉsar Awards Jim Carrey mentioned the death of his dad which as far as I can tell happened over 30 years ago. I think that Jim Carrey's "new" face is one of two things (1) he is self-aware and is completely enjoying people speculating about clones or (2) he is going through stress of some kind (according to AI his brother died in 2019 and his sister died in 2024).

Posted to Celebrity Spy (another expert hired by BL's legal team Ashley Humphries Phd) 03/08/2026

An expert's report dependent only on data as supplied or specified by their clients is essentially doing directed homework for a nice fee. A prime example of a valid and relevant study/report would be repeatable results, by other experts in that field. I am guessing (have not read Humphries report) that the report is peppered throughout with disclaimers such as, "this report is based on data provided","this report is based on limited data"...not just the footnote on page 8. IMO and allegedly, most or all of these reports submitted by the plaintiff's team are PR. Putting any of these experts on the witness stand for cross would be an alleged career ender at least for those who wish to stay in academia or use their work for this trial on their CV.

I am always informed when I watch CC, thank you Josh Ritter. While I believe the jury made the right call in the Colin Gray trial verdict, we still must draw a line. Right now it is easy, the Crumbly parents and Colin Gray treated a dangerous object as if it were benign and harmless. Their incompetence and inaction caused tragedies to so many. I just do not want some elected DA to decide to file a criminal suit against parents due to broken glasses or a ripped jacket or even a broken nose. While I am not a weapons person, I recognize the right of those interested in collecting or hunting to do so following their community's laws. However just as you should not leave your front door unlocked or hang a diamond necklace on your fence, I would expect people to also properly care for their weapons. This  includes more than storage, it includes being able to account for the maturity and stability of your own household. BTW I felt this way before I learned that Colt (a rather ironic name) Gray had images of a school sh33ter on his wall. Now I feel that whatever punishment Colt Gray gets, it should be duplicated and added to Colin Gray's sentence.


Posted to Alexasrewm ( Diller attorney for the O'Keefe family in civil suit vs. Karen Read)03/09/2026

Always enjoy Alexa's take. This clown show had over 2 years with KR's cell phones (longer than my first adult relationship but I digress).The phones were seized as part of the criminal law indictment regarding Officer John O'Keefe, thus should have been returned to Read after the not guilty verdict in trial #2. IMO these groups need to admit to themselves, there is nothing relevant to the plaintiff's civil law suit on those phones (or probably anywhere). I speculate that these people may be in a situation comparable to members of a cult. They are allegedly firm in their beliefs, unable to comprehend a different reality from their own creations and finally unable to process any details via critical thinking. Not buying Diller's apology either, he is just protecting his license to practice law...allegedly.  ๐Ÿ˜‰

Kjersti does a great job of showing the correlation of video evidence, timelines and all those the unsealed texts into a very well-documented and researched commentary. Wonder if legacy media is taking notes...probably not. PR can be compared to a wizard (perhaps of a famous land full of green). We have seen behind the curtain. We saw evidence that those strings were pulled. Was that "face kiss" a genuine moment of affection, doubtful, as not typical of images of their recent past. Or was that "face kiss" due to the excitement of the event, judging by the faces around them again doubtful. Maybe this new Colleen Hoover-helmed film is great. The dark cloud that hoovers, oops hovers (sorry๐Ÿ˜œ) above everyone who had anything to do with IEWU, makes success difficult unless the curiosity factor is off the charts. BTW that "rock" charisma comment by Kjersti was pure gold as was that clip of Bette Davis.

While I do find Brian Entin's interviews with experts very informative, this interview with Aldine (apologies if misspelled) was all that and more. Aldine's sighting of that "out-of-place" stranger around January 11 seems to be highly critical data. Guessing no one's camera caught this person? Odd that there was no barking from neighborhood dogs, maybe due to very well-insulated homes? Aldine's take on the neighborhood topography, its residents and even the early part of the investigation corroborated many of my speculations. Aldine seems so nice, her dog so friendly, learning that she was originally from Canada was not a shocker. BTW it took this particular case to learn that not paying a monthly subscription to services such as NEST and RING only means the user cannot access the footage. However anyone with a subpoena or "a certain set of skills" can access that footage. For this case fine, every detail helps. However I am bothered that there can be so much personal video that is now the property of strangers

I also lean to friendships with people who can define snark then use it appropriately๐Ÿ˜‰. The JT DUI footage should be an easy solution. As was said remove all identifying details and leave only the video/audio directly relevant to the DUI stop. It was JT's decision to drink and drive, that much he has to own. I am not amazed๐Ÿ˜œ by any law suit involving any reality show. 3 Q: (1) Why would anyone go on a show where the reality is determined by the producers not the participants? (2a) Even for those with as yet undiagnosed mental health issues who later turn out to be autistic, there had to be signs in other aspects of this man's life? (2b) So again why go on a show where so much is out of your control? (3a) If participants have issues, put them in the contract. (3b) If the show does not allow your inclusions into that contract, then once again why go on the show? My speculation is that this couple probably cannot win unless they have surplus cash for legal expenses enabling them to hire a high-powered lawyer who can find a contract loophole thus leading to an advantageous financial settlement in their favor. Random QQQ: Suppose that this man already been diagnosed as autistic before applying to the show. At that point he tells the producer, who then tells him directly we cannot use you on this show due to your condition. Is that defying the ADA? Or what if he had admitted to having autism subsequently accepted, but then in his opinion mistreated, so he then sued. Would the ADA apply?

Breakeven doubtful. However, are we talking 21st or 22nd century? Sorry for the snark. There used to be films that cost in the mid-level numbers. While blockbusters can happen, they are not in the majority of all films. Studios are dropping and being bought up. No one got the message that streaming is very popular and blockbusters are usually those that appeal to more than 1 or 2 demos. Soon the only interesting films will emanate from indie studios. Spend the money on the writing, the directing, the editing, and the cinematography, then the actors, then if no practical effects then the CGI.


Posted to The Behavioral Arts (RE: Analysis of Bill Clinton's 4 hr testimony on E files) 03/10/2026

The "NO" answers I believe. The answers using excess words, limiting words or any kind of memory mentions, IMO there is some amount of guilt there. I wonder if the "arm hugging" is more to disguise the tremors than any indication of stress due to lying?  I remember Robin Williams did that in his later years. Spidey brings up a VERY relevant point of the then current President Bill Clinton statement in 1998 regarding Monica Lewinsky, it was a very firm "NOT" but again used too many words. I do believe that former president Bill Clinton most likely crossed the line of ethics, morality and legality during his"Epstein Days". However former president Bill Clinton did far greater harm in knowing, but never telling. The card incident is interesting. I consider the content more related word salad/hyperbole than admissions or accusations of Epstein's guilt. I do agree with Spidey, in that writing the letter out in cursive was a gesture of familiarity.  Of course for us conspiracy theorists out there perhaps this whole birthday card project was a 3D chess move? All these hand-written/drawn entries was yet another way  that Epstein could control his "guests" behavior beyond that island.

This whole legal mess did not have to happen. Colleen Hoover writes books, lots of books. Choose a few then BUY the rights to THOSE books. Imagine that reality, if none of this happened. RR would be in 3 - 4 newly released movies. BL would be happy with her alleged 'bot followers while partying with TS and planning her maid-of-honor attire.  Maybe we would even accept PR cut and paste releases that cosplay as actual journalism (aka fact-checked and accurate). I probably wouldn't be sitting at my computer laughing at the information that, " ____ left the project due to creative differences." (latest is that director Lee Isaac Chung left a Margot Robbie project).

I love how Kjersti while showing respect and empathy for people in the entertainment industry, is still able to translate all that Hollywood drama into amusing portions of knowledge for us to consume. I was shocked to learn that Timothรฉe Chalamet is THIRTY! PSA for Timothรฉe, the human brain (frontal lobe) matures at about 25, so attend a crash course in "being a grownup ASAP". While I am no longer a fan of RR (I can't even watch Deadpool anymore), I did find "Nicepool" amusing BEFORE all of this mess became known. Usually being satirized in a movie shows your height of fame along with the status being an icon. Of course now we know that character was a cheap dig at JB. Way to take the fun out of things, RR. Ugh.


Posted to Brian Entin (RE: Updates and interview w/retired FBI agent Maureen O'Connell)  03/11/2026

It was difficult to watch that video of Nancy Guthrie considering what is likely her fate at this point. Maybe it is the slow crawl of bureaucracy regarding the non-release of Annie and Tommaso Cioni's vehicle? However retaining the property of two people who are cleared, not indicted for any crime for so long does seem odd to me (not in LE). While I am not a fan of the Sheriff, I would not speculate on his early background at this point. What should be explored is the many early retirements taken when Nanos won reelection in 2024 and the subsequent transfers of experienced LE when Nanos began his term of office. Retired FBI Agent Maureen O'Connell always has practical advice for safety along with reasonable theories on the Guthrie case. Just between thousands of subscribers and Brian Entin, Maureen O'Connell is someone whom I immensely respect yet would immensely fear should she ever be investigating me.๐Ÿ˜‰

I was so out of the loop on Jessie Buckley regarding the cats drama, I was fearful that there was going to be a CATS2. I live with 2 cats (real ones, not people in onsies). I am fine with anybody who does not wish to live with felines. I agree that Timothรฉe Chalamet, is his own worse enemy, at least verbally. Rerun that interview with Matthew McConaughey. The look on McConaughey's face was a vivid expression of "poor kid" (although Chalamet is 30). Until a certain legal action, with less legs than a sponge, was filed by an actor vs her director, I had no idea the venom that is spewed into legacy media to be published without fact-checking or editing. I haven't watched the OSCAR Awards in probably a decade. However win or lose, my enjoyment in an actor's performance or a film's screenplay will not change. The recent aggressive behavior by PR in digging up old tweets or unhappy ex's reminds me of a slimy political campaign. IMO those best at the campaign are not always best at the job.

Thank you to Brian Entin for providing these updates (and you too Mo for the untiring support). I know we are still waiting for any kind of resolution, but somehow listening to critical thinkers say intelligent things settles me. Could the criminals who took Nancy Guthrie offend again? IMO yes for crime in general, but no for this type of crime. The risk part of the risk benefit ratio of such an act as this one, is off the charts. Maybe contrary to professional views, but I think that holding onto the sister's vehicle might be more than basic bureaucratic plodding and voluminous paperwork. The statements by the Sheriff about Annie and Tommaso Cioni being cleared is not proving helpful in alleviating anyone's concern.  A very wise thing that retired FBI Special Agent Steve Moore said is that he is choosing his words carefully knowing that the criminals are watching.

 

Posted to Kjersti Flaa (RE: Entertainment News Updates) Uploaded to You Tube on 03/13/2026

I think that it was said here, maybe it was Kjersti or a comment, but the best thing for BL is for the judge to dismiss all charges with prejudice. Then BL and RR can control the narrative by PR indicating that women have to stand up for their rights no matter what the judicial system does. That letter from BL's attorneys to the court is IMO more a PR move than a legal one. It is sad to see attractive men become almost a caricature of themselves. Seemingly the biggest problem regarding facial cosmetic surgery is that many of these procedures require time for the area to settle. Time away from any camera, is difficult when one is a celebrity. Admittedly, I am also fighting the clock. Somedays my hair is brown mixed with grey and other days my hair is brown mixed with, well at the moment๐Ÿ˜‰, a burgundy color. Fortunately there is no reason for images of me to be published showing before and after. David Beckham has good bones. Unless he was in a massive accident, there was no reason for whatever they did to him. PSA: guys, do not do your eyes and/or a brow lift. Only judging by recent images, it seems that in the hands of most surgeons/technicians those procedures can feminize your look which is fine if that is your goal.


Brian Entin (Interview w/Prof. April Stonehouse-forensic sci-Arizona State Univ Prof April Stonehouse

Professor of Forensic Science at ASU did a great job of explaining collection, identification and the complexity when there are multiple donors in one sample. Professor Stonehouse did not say this, but I feel had she been in charge that house (both interior and exterior) would have been locked down to all except a few designated members of LE and FBI. No pool people, no landscapers and I am sorry, even though he is a great journalist, no Brian Entin on that front porch. I wonder at the Sheriff's response to the question could subject strike again with an, "absolutely." Why? As far as we know there was no money distributed via ransom or from a tip. Even if this was "personal", then what viewpoint or political statement was made? Could this criminal commit another crime sure, but as for this particular genre of crime, I find it doubtful. This is high risk behavior with low possibility of equivalent reward. While this is a tragedy for the family, it is also a likely failure for the perpetrator(s).


Posted to NotActually Golden (student athlete Brendan Sorsby left Cinncinati for Texas) 03/14/2026

Was the professional sports agent there with Sorsby for the contract signing authorized to act in loco parentis? What is the youngest age permitted regarding the signing of a contract under Ohio law?  Perhaps the NIL (name-image-license) ruling was, as Mr. NAG said an overcorrection? Maybe some sort of LLC should be set up composed of the parents/guardians, professional sports agent and a 3rd party (perhaps an attorney) to handle all negotiations before the student athlete can formally enter any college or university? Performance improvements by the student athlete during their time at school would be listed, quantified, per semester of training, to be incorporated into the contract. This would enable a university put a price to its training of these student athletes. Ethically I think that Sorsby owes the 1 million dollars. While ethics can be part of laws, not all laws are inherently ethical. Hence Mr Sorsby may get to keep some or all of that 1 million.

Thank you to Peter Tragos for this video. I currently live in a place where apparently my private property (aka tech) is only mine should those in LE/Government allow me to retain my tech. That is not anyone's definition of a democracy. Hours upon receiving a not guilty verdict (criminal trial 2 of 2 trials) the car and phones should have been returned to Karen Read. As for Diller's "apology", what I allegedly heard was, "Please please sir, do not let this affect my license to practice law in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts." However I do acknowledge without observable hubris, that perhaps I misheard๐Ÿ˜‰. I too found that last line in the court's ruling interesting, "The Commonwealth may retain possession of the cell phones pending appeal."  I have several words that I would LOVE to share with the court:  The Bill of Rights in the U.S. Constitution Articles 4 and 5.  Argh!!

One thing that I find so sad, at least IMO, is that there appears to be no one that BL trusts who will sit down to instruct her regarding the way the world usually works. Celebrity privilege does not always overpower rule of law. Self-entitlement does not lead to omnipotence. Well, at least (we all hope) that by trial date in May 2026 there will be validation for the film's title, IEWU. BTW, I appreciated that Devil Wears Prada phrase from the Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep) character!


Posted to Kjersti Flaa (Kjersti & Magnus discuss relationships with large age differences) 03/15/2026

Funny thing is, every time Kjersti and Magnus "went off topic" those were also discussion I was also interested in. If your interests align, you are both adults, you are genuinely friends, then falling in love and marrying is the natural progression even if someone is 30 and their partner is 60. The brain matures at 25, so while I know many twenty-somethings marry one another, I think the age for the younger partner should be mid-thirties. By then you probably know who you are and what you want. As for the oldest age of the partner, then depends on both parties in the relationship. In young/same age relationships it is always best to discuss children are home base locale before marrying. In a relationship with a considerable age gap, before marrying there should be a discussion regarding any adult children (inheritance) and future health situations (healthcare proxies, advance directives, powers of attorney). My personal opinion is that if both parties are of legal age and of stable mental state to give consent, then who cares?

It was amazing to hear Jason say that his "less than mentally with it" moments should be shown. Using appropriate discretion and respect, which I know that Leslie would do, that is a wise and generous thing to share. My only experience with someone with any type of dementia is in the beginning when there is a certain forgetfulness of something routine like a person or a place. I also know about the point when that person becomes someone else. I will always deeply regret that for a particular person, I wasn't available for that huge middle portion of this process. I appreciate education on any subject. Learning is my coping/calming mechanism (unless I am being graded by a professor๐Ÿ˜‰). This series has taught me that you understand the changes that are happening, accept help from others and appreciate the time that you still have. Thank you Leslie and Jason for that knowledge.

The problem is that the coat is a very light shade thus will show EVERY smudge, stain and spot!  Best Decision: to buy the most expensive winter boots that I can afford. They look great, are comfy, safe to wear on slippery surfaces and have lasted me for years. BTW regarding mini-bags that won't even fit a phone and charger, I have found a use for those. My daily bag is a backpack. I use (thrifted only) colorful, glittery absurdly small bags to hold things like makeup (hack buy travel/sample size mascara, shadow, primer to save space), jewelry and first aid supplies.

๐ŸŽ‰Congratulations๐ŸŽ‰ to Kjersti for being the (uncredited I assume) muse of an actor in the Norwegian film, "Sentimental Value" which won the 2026 Oscar for Best International Feature Film. I agree that whatever Jed Wallace and Melissa Nathan might have done for their client, Rebel Wilson, does not mean they did the same for Nathan's (via Jennifer Abel) client, Justin Baldoni/Wayfarer. In criminal (not certain about civil) trials, prior bad acts are usually not admitted as evidence unless those past acts were directly connected to the current case. Two things can be accurate at the same time. As in 2 PR reps allegedly using unethical methods for client B. With the same 2 reps not doing that for client A. Especially when client A has specified that only defensive PR be used, not offensive methods such as 'bots. When it comes to polls that are scholarly, thorough and properly documented, TMZ does a great job of entertaining their subscribers.๐Ÿคฃ


Posted to NotActuallyGolden (RE: Input from subscribers of this channel requested) 03/16/2026

SUGGESTIONS for other paths, while still covering major cases: Perhaps choose a few civil law suits to discuss that have not been widely covered on YT. Adding Mr. NAG as a contributor/guest star works. Do a mini-moot court with NAG prime and Mr. NAG debating a real or imagined court case. For slightly less combative/intellectual moments, do closet tours. What fashion works for the office and also an evening out without a head to toe changeover. What shoes are comfortable, yet are impressive for a long day in court. What's in your personal library? Are NY Times best sellers really the best? Most workable way (beyond sleeping) of entertaining oneself on red-eye flights in regular or executive class, you can't choose 1st class as everyone can relax there. Whatever additional paths are taken, I un-allegedly feel that they will prove to be thoughtful, instructive and entertaining.

Guilt should be a companion, part of the team, in our travels. Guilt should not be our team leader. We just need to be aware that guilt is there.  IMO the lack of shame is even more relevant than a surplus of guilt. My proof is in the comments by trolls and 'bots created by trolls. CIVIL DISORDER: (1)I do not watch Mormon Wives or any similar show as I expect that all I would be watching and hearing is the producers' cut. (2)The social media case is difficult for me to feel impartial as I feel sympathy for the plaintiff and agree with her attorney. We (humans) have a habit of overcorrection resulting in new problems(aka U.S. senate committees). META and Alphabet/Google (You Tube) will not change unless it is in their best interests or being forced to via federal law. (3)Karen Read as plaintiff/defendant law suits are fascinating. This is one individual accompanied by an excellent legal team all of which may create legal precedents or simply clear up the mess in Massachusetts law. (4)I agree with the parents suing Washington State. That university should do due diligence regarding those they admit into programs such as criminal justice and criminology. Don't all prospective LE/FBI have a psych evaluation?  The obvious question is, did the university have an ethical or legal obligation to inform authorities when they removed BK from their campus?

Glad Brian got some rest time back in Florida. I appreciate the time and energy that Brian (and Mo) are expending to keep all of us updated. Laura was very diplomatic about the sheriff, but the sheriff saying "...targeted but we don't really know...." is beyond a non sequitur. The sheriff's statement makes ME nervous and I live many miles away from Arizona. Laura's statement about the front security door was very interesting. PSA: New Media no 3am walks on private property. That is not the way to acquire journalism cred. Unfortunately any new group is judged by its weakest member. Didn't a Florida judge recently refuse to consider a journalist who appears solely on You Tube as being under the protective umbrella of journalism?

I have not kept up with the civil lawsuit involving Rebel Wilson. Sounds quite bad. Yes some of the same PR players are also appearing in Lively vs. Baldoni/Wayfarer civil lawsuit along with other related civil law suits. It is a legal mess. I have followed Lively vs. JB/Wayfarer case. Justin Baldoni in texts submitted during discovery stated that he only wanted his PR reps to provide defensive PR (good things about Baldoni and It Ends With Us) not offensive PR ('bots and trolls, my words not his). With trial scheduled for May 2026, as far as I know the plaintiff's team has provided no evidence to support their claims. Some (but not all) good sources for BL vs. Baldoni/Wayfarer on YT are: Kassidy O'Connell, LittleGirlAttorney and NotActuallyGolden. It is sad as PR was intended to be used to promote the client. In certain agencies it appears that their primary mission is demonize others who are "in conflict" or in competition with the client(s).


Brian Entin (RE: Should Sheriff Resign/Other Nancy Guthrie Updates DAY#46) Uploaded 03/18/2026.

I have learned so much from the experts featured on this channel such as Ret. FBI Agent Maureen O'Connell.While politics may be keeping this Sheriff in office, it is not the reason that he finds himself immersed in controversy. After Chris Nanos' re-election, there was a flood of early retirements and some forced transfers. This left a department that was low on experienced officers. IMO this Sheriff appears to be a person in a position of leadership who cannot effectively lead. A leader should be able to delegate, accept expert help and work well with others (including the FBI and his own Dept.'s PR rep). If there are repair issues causing the delayed return of Annie and Tommaso's vehicle, then this is information that if released would quell the rumors. Whether that recall petition gets enough voters' signatures or not, this is a Sheriff who is not trusted by his own officers. That says it all. I wish for some resolution in Nancy Guthrie's disappearance. I sadly recognize that it is only a wish not a reality. As always thanks to Brian, Mo and all of these experts who have taught us so much about proper procedures and investigations.


Brian Entin (Nancy Guthrie Updates & Interview w/Morgan Wright - Crime Reconstructed) 03/19/2026

Amazing job by Brian Entin. How do you find these experts? I have just subscribed to Morgan Wright's substack site (@CrimeReconstructed). I appreciate that Mr. Wright does not want to potentially alter the narrative without being fully informed of all evidence. The analogy to Jurassic Park film is an excellent way to explain why information should be fact-checked and annotated before its release. Geneticists added missing DNA to their creations without considering the result. Likely the resolution to this investigation will not be a happy one. I do hope that whatever that reality turns out to be, that the Guthrie family will not have to wait many more months or even years.

Thank you to @kattnotwilliams for the video work and to Andrea Burkhart for the expert commentary. In the olden days of 2003-5 (YT was born around 2005), The Streisand Effect was born. Barbra Streisand "suffered" significant ridicule and laughter in creating and proving this effect."Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it", George Santayana (1905). Let's go back even further (from The New Testament of The Bible) "You reap what you sow". A problematic raid by LE cosplaying as a comedy movie version of a SWAT team destroyed property, disconnected/yet left the home security camera and mishandled money. No reparations were made to the innocent (and talented) homeowner. Thus many satirical videos were born and uploaded.The ones responsible for this raid felt that their only remedy for hurt feelings and alleged tears was to sue that same innocent person. Now a video of this trial has been published all over the internet with literally zero benefits. Kudos to the jury both for their understanding of rights as guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution and by not guffawing during the trial.

The internet can be problematic, but whether it is a reality or a rumor, data spreads at warp speed. My condolences are with all who have lost family and friends to this monstrous criminal behavior. QUESTION: Check me on this (AI's accuracy is 50-50 so no help there), but doesn't your hair hold onto drug traces longer than would be found in blood tests?

Royals and their estates are also a proven device to encourage tourism. I think that being "a royal" is not working out so well for many, especially in the 21st century. The guillotines, pyres, ropes/drawn&quartering of olde may not be in any current Royal's future. What is in their futures are courts and the internet.

Brian Entin(Nancy Guthrie Updates & convo w/Rick Kastigar former boss of Chris Nanos) 03/23/2026

Thank you Brian Entin for this excellent interview with Rick Kastigar. It sadly confirms many of my theories about Pima County Dept. Sheriff Chris Nanos. It is also a warning that LE organizations need more effective due diligence in researching their prospective hires. I agree that perhaps we would still be here irregardless as to who held that position of Sheriff. However, the WHAT IF looms large in my mind. There is book, old (1969) but with a theory that has always resonated with me when I see incompetence in corporations, LE and government. It is called The Peter Principle. It highlights a certain group of people who are good at one level then promoted to increasingly higher and higher levels in their field. This process stops when due to deficiencies in themselves, these individuals can rise no higher. The ironic thing is that many who rise that high are also highly difficult to remove from those positions of power. Thank you Brian Entin (and of course Mo) for continuing this long unhappy journey that we all find ourselves traveling.

Amy Griffin's book was published in 2025 as memoir. When I looked up the definition of memoir, AI's first word was, "non-fiction". How much the publisher and ghost writer is liable is probably defined by the contracts with the author. The Jane Doe angle is indeed wild. I am guessing the only proof that Amy Griffin has is the "reclaimed" experiences while on that drug? Two things can be accurate at the same time. Did this adult SA multiple students in his classes? If Amy Griffin can find others, that will helps an epic fail. (PSA for registered MA voters: election in November 2026). Obviously META and Google will appeal. Hopefully all this legal expense and public awareness will "encourage" them to alter and adjust the algorithm.

It is hard to get past those 2 interviewers. Cringey does not begin to describe their style. Both seem more like cheerleaders than interviewers. There is a distinct lack of spontaneity in their questions and comments. As for Amy Griffin's body language, hard to tell without a baseline. I get the feeling that this person is always "on" so that might require watching considerable videos which is far too much work for lazy me. It does seem that she blinks excessively, so possibly stressed? Or Occam's razor could apply with it being the studio lights. Amy Griffin is selling something. Obviously her current book, or maybe a future start-up or even a self-help book. The line quoting her 10-year old daughter saying, "Mom, I need you to participate in our life in a way that you're not right now." At least to me, doesn't sound like a ten year old talking to her mom. The "leaned in" comment by Amy Griffin, is somewhat of a trope at this point. It may sound good to some, but to me it sounds pretentious. While I can see Amy Griffin dodging the truth, being the evil architect of faux agents who called Jane Doe seems like a stretch. Again I do not know her. She could be the archetype of an evil plutocrat or perhaps your average pretentious rich person๐Ÿ˜‰.

Rob Shuter said something that struck me as quite wise and perceptive, "You (aka Kjersti) talking about your interview (with BL) was more interesting than the interview itself". So accurate!

No victim of violent crime should ever blame themselves. Excluding corporate and government malfeasance, what looks like a random act of criminality is committed by people without power, without money and especially in this instance, without compassion. This is not stealing milk for hungry children. Forcibly removing 84 year old physically disabled woman from her home for criminal gain is not an act that I can reconcile with any type of civilized behavior. Even as a retired FBI agent, I can tell  Maureen O'Connell has been deeply affected by this case. Her security hints are simple, easy to implement. Thank you Brian Entin (and Mo).

While Steve Moore does not scare me as much as Maureen O'Connell๐Ÿ˜‰, both are excellent critical thinkers. Steve Moore was on point when he said regarding Savannah Guthrie's interview, "You can't win the internet". I also believe even at this stage, Savannah Guthrie is continuing to work with the FBI.

As unfair as it sounds, there may be legal reasons that the subpoenas to the 103 YT channels caught up unnecessarily, unethically in this fiasco cannot have the legal fees recovered per Judge Limon's ruling. As for fighting back, this will result in more legal costs. I am sure that BL's legal team would challenge any such filings. We can only judge BL's legal team in regards to future behavior based on their alleged tactics of the past. IMO this is probably more a fault in the relevant civil laws, than in Judge Limon's rulings. A private individual (aka the defendant) with limited financial resources should NOT be judged on the same scale as corporation (aka the plaintiff)with millions, even billions at their disposal. I am not saying these 103 should give up. They could perhaps pay for just one more consultation with an attorney to get the pros/cons if continuing to litigate.

Clearwater Florida is a vivid example of the damage that can be done to a once viable community by this cult.  Please understand that I am not dismissing the efforts of Clearwater's valiant citizens like Aaron Smith-Levin and the people (sorry I forgot the names involved) who recently helped prevented this cult from buying an entire street in that community. Watch Aaron on his walks through those deserted streets of Clearwater that should be packed with tourists, concertgoers, vacationers. Look at the amount of tax-free property that this cult, that cosplays as a religion, currently owns in the town of Clearwater. Look at how many tax-paying businesses have fled this community in the last 5 years mostly due to conditions created by this cult. THANK YOU TO Aaron, Jenna and all those who contribute to the cause of eliminating Scientology's tax free status and iron-fisted control of certain communities by making donations to the foundation, actively protesting or just simply warning one's friends and relatives to stay away from this cult or lose your humanity.

I am a subscriber who only watches NAG on YT (twitter can be a dark and scary place) for probably less than one year. However, time is but a human construct. Sorry I cannot remember the film from which that comment originates, but guessing Doctor Who or Star Trek a likely source. This video felt like a good summary of the personal and employment data that viewers are permitted to know. Yet shows the expertise of a practicing attorney without showing a photo of any diploma (that confidentiality thing again๐Ÿ˜‰). I do appreciate the warning to maintain decorum and sense in the comment section. I suspect in our eagerness to post a comment, we sometimes forget that our words do not come equipped with tone. I am an individual who uses considerable irony and sarcasm in real life along with my online comments. Those emojis may look cartoony, but they are the tone identifiers of one stranger's comment made to another stranger. So, am I proposing that emojis are the only thing keeping us from complete barbarism? ๐Ÿ˜• and ๐Ÿ˜œ.
