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.😉

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.

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.

Replay crew here. It is quite scary that one person could be so intent upon depleting all financial assets of another. It is also oddly fascinating. 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.😉

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, yet🤣.

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.

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.

I also was unaware of Tracy Anderson V. Megan Roup. It is an interesting case, glad you analyzed it. QUESTION: First background - The core (pun intended and like my core, it is weak🤣) 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 wisely😉? 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 César 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.

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 César 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).

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.

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. 😉

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 (sorry😜) 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.

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

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 amazed😜 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.

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.

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.

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.😉

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.

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.

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 moment😉, 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.

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.
Posted to LawyerYouKnow (RE: Karen Read's Phones - civil suit O'Keefe family vs KR) 03/15/2026
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 misheard😉. 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?
Posted to Living With Dementia (RE: Update by Leslie on Jason) Uploaded to You Tube on 03/15/2026
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 professor😉). 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.

Regret: A beautiful coat that I thrifted at great price, but cannot be machine washed. 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. This makes locating things in my backpack (or any large bag) much easier to find. BTW 🎉Congratulations 🎉on the YT plaque!
Posted to Kjersti Flaa (RE: BL vs. JB/Wayfarer and NYTime updates) Uploaded to YT 03/16/2026
🎉Congratulations🎉 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.🤣
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?
Posted to Brian Entin (RE: Nancy Guthrie updates and interview w/ a neighbor Laura) 03/17/2026
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?
Posted to John Campea (RE: PR Team - alleged smear campaign) Uploaded to You Tube On 03/17/2026
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.
Posted to Andrea Burkhart (RE: Commentary on the Afroman civil trial) Uploaded 03/19/2026
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.

It doesn't matter if you are built like a body builder, are a black belt in karate or your gender, you can be rendered helpless. I had not thought that even being with another person doesn't guarantee protection, if both are targeted. I agree that communities will not save in tourism dollars for long. 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? If I am right, trace amounts can remain in hair follicles for weeks. Guessing testing would take time and lots of cash (as insurance coverage is doubtful).

Always a good day when Magnus appears. Love the convo between Kjersti and Magnus. IMO, Royals can be a valuable source of personnel for the field of diplomacy (as long as they are NOT in possession of any highly confidential data). 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. The punishment meted out there is often worse as one has to live within that reality. Agreed, Timothée Chalamet needs to take some "him-time" out of social media and off of red carpets to read scripts and be boring.
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.

Guessing Doctor WHO and the TARDIS would have to be involved. To watch clothing older than anyone currently alive, be found, treasured and shared is very impactful for me. I try to buy known quality brands extremely discounted via recycle/resale sites. For these items to survive to the next century, is the dream, but I need education.

Amy Griffen'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 Griffen 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 Griffen can find others, that will help her case. Does Jane Doe have recordings of any (or all) of these meetings? Any retained emails, texts or any paperwork from the "agents"? Jane Doe's phone records might at least have data which can be investigated. Did she pay them anything? Any or all of that would help her case. BTW, Jane Doe works with Alzheimer's patients? Just imagine Jane Doe's attorney presenting that factor to a jury!

Smoking for me is atypical in the sense there was no long-term addiction. I smoked in 3 periods of my life: (1) in teens 'cause everyone did (2) during senior finals in college 'cause it was that or a bucket of ice cream (3) during a divorce (had married at 20) 'cause stress. In all 3 cases I was able to quit cold turkey with no difficulties. I believe that ease was due to my usage being tied to "temporary" events. Yes Justin Timberlake looks drunk with the accompanying physical and mental issues. Yet he was civilized, polite, not entitled, but admittedly somewhat silly. So a nothing-burger for media. While I have never watched Mormon wives, I agree with the conclusion that for most people marrying before you know who you are, is problematic. Some teenage marriages work likely these are individuals with maturity and self-knowledge. What was done to Karen Read involved actions that should never been seen in a nation that purports to be a republic ethically and legally bound by the U.S. Constitution. In other words, regarding the Commonwealth of Massachusetts players in this farce including but no limited to, MSP, DA's office and LE this was 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.
