Forgot to post this a week ago, but Mike Rinder, ex-Scientologist and former Office of Special Affairs* goon of David Miscavige (head of the "church") has passed away from undisclosed causes, but in 2023 it was announced that Mike had esophageal cancer. The guy is dead, and they're still attacking ...

it just keeps getting worse I dunno....there's an old joke that LA is "Chicago with palm trees", same kinds of governmental corruption/incompetence, same sort of "policing", and the same sort of racial bigotry and so forth.

And if Wikipedia is NOTNEWS, and they claim WP is not a "celebrity gossip tabloid", then why does the fire's article contain a very long quote by actor Steve Guttenberg?

Crypto news sites that Molly uses as sources, like Coindesk, Cryptoslate and theblock.co, are usually full of "negative news" about crypto. Arrests and prosecutions are rout...

Never you mind, just another small unnoticed dose of "Wiki-Slobber". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bull_Rock_Lighthouse The Bull Rock Lighthouse, is an active aid to navigation located 4 km off Dursey Island, Ireland. Although requested, Calf Rock was chosen and an iron structure was erected and lit...
