BARBENHEIMER SAVED THE SUMMER
BARBIE AND OPPENHEIMER SAVED THE BOX OFFICE THIS SUMMER!
Without them, movies this season may have faced calamity..
“As a seemingly out of reach goal just a couple of months ago, the $4 billion domestic summer season box office has become a reality over Labor Day weekend, reflecting not only a strong lineup of films, but the desire by audiences to embrace the time-honored tradition of going to the movies in the hottest moviegoing season of the year,” says senior Comscore analyst Paul Dergarabedian.
“Barbie” is the highest grossing film of the summer (and the year) with $612 million in North America and $1.36 billion globally to date. “Oppenheimer” also wildly outperformed expectations with $311 at the domestic box office and $850 million worldwide.
Other top stateside earners this summer include Sony’s animated “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” ($381 million), Disney and Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” ($358 million), “The Little Mermaid” remake ($298 million) and the Jim Caviezel-led action thriller “Sound of Freedom” ($181 million). Those blockbusters helped to make up for underperforming tentpoles like DC’s superhero adaptation “The Flash” and Disney’s remake of “Haunted Mansion.”

Law enforcement asking for help: Help identify barns and silos sketched by BTK killer!
A law enforcement team in northeast Oklahoma believes the prolific serial killer known as “BTK” may be responsible for several additional unsolved missing person and homicide cases. Now they’re hoping the public can help them identify barns and silos in Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri that the self-proclaimed BTK killer Dennis Rader sketched in never-before-seen detailed drawings.
Last month, the Osage County Sheriff’s Office publicly confirmed it was investigating Rader as the “prime suspect” in a 1976 cold case in their jurisdiction and several other unsolved crimes across three states.
The investigators believe the killer may have buried 16-year-old Cynthia Dawn Kinney in a barn near the Kansas-Oklahoma border. Kinney was last seen at a laundromat in Pawhuska, Oklahoma, in 1976. Her body has never been found.

CNN obtained images of Rader’s drawings, which were first recovered by law enforcement after his arrest in 2005.
Rader pleaded guilty to 10 murders that took place from the 1970s to the 1990s in Wichita, Kansas, for which he’s serving 10 consecutive life sentences in a state prison. He suggested in a letter found long before his capture that he should be called “BTK,” short for “bind, torture, kill.”
In recent prison interviews, Rader told Osage County Sheriff Eddie Virden and other local area authorities he did not commit any other murders.
An attorney for the serial killer declined to comment to CNN.

BURNING MAN GOES RAIN MAN: EBOLA RUMORS CAUSE CHAOS WHILE FIRE MAY STILL FILL THE NIGHT AIR
Everything sounds just about awful at Burning Man.. torrential rains in Vegas and a muddy–really muddy–ground has caused chaos.. Gridlock as well as 70,000 are basically “stuck in the mud.” Like really..
But adding to the chaos and drama are rumors of a bloody virus making the rounds. Ebola, we are told, is on the ground. In the mud. In the chaos.. in the madness…
One man is also reported to have died at the event, with police saying investigations are ongoing.
Here is how the Burning Man Ebola rumors seemingly began: Social media … X marked the spot. Formerly Twitter (how long do we have to say X is formerly Twitter?).. on Saturday (September 2), with some accounts showing fake screenshots supposed to look like the Center For Disease Control ..
But EBOLA rumors aside, there are valid worries on the ground.
Since early Saturday, all entry and exit points of the Burning Man festival remained closed due to the thick, alkaline mud. As of 0900 ET Sunday, event organizers said, “The gate and airport in and out of Black Rock City remain closed. Ingress and egress are halted until further notice. No driving is permitted except emergency vehicles.”
Organizers continued to advise the 73,000 attendees to “conserve food and water, and shelter in a warm space.”
The Independent confirmed local officials had reported at least one death but have not released details on the suspected cause of death. A major concern is that the toxic alkali dust that makes up the lake bed is now three inches of mud, and if attendees aren’t wearing socks and closed shoes, it can cause chemical burns called “Playa Foot.”
There seems to be still a chance of fire.
Organizers for the Burning Man festival, which is currently experiencing severe weather, still plan to host its culminating event tonight — the burning of a large wooden effigy!
“We plan to burn the Man at 9:30pm Sunday September 3 weather permitting,” organizers said in a series of social media posts.
Officials urged attendees not to try to leave the event grounds, and promised more information later in the day.

Ruby Franke, Utah YouTuber, arrested on abuse charges after malnourished child in duct tape found!
There are clips trending on TikTok and other social media platforms from the YouTube channel “8 passengers”, now defunct.
But it doesn’t matter, they maintain the same sickening quality they had when they first aired.
Ruby Franke, the Utah mom behind the now-defunct family YouTube channel “8 Passengers,” was arrested Wednesday on child abuse charges after authorities found a malnourished minor with open wounds and duct tape on their extremities, officials announced.
Franke’s business partner, Jodi Hildebrandt, was also arrested on the same charges. The two regularly collaborate on relationship and parenting advice videos for Hildebrandt’s life counseling service ConneXions. ConneXions has been criticized in the past for its teachings about parenting, including prioritizing the organization’s “principles of truth” over a person’s children

Going down the Rabbit Hole of Menugate
We binged!!
There is a user name on TikTok ATL CODY, he is an attorney in Atlanta who has gone viral occasionally on the social media platform over the previous two years.
From his series of videos, it appears that he noticed the apartment complex he lived in had some oddities. Someone was someone putting out Chinese menus on all the doors. But days later the menus were still there, so he started to figure out that apparently no one lives there. Or at least this is what the attorney claims.
The user goes on to say that no on evacuated when a fire alarm was pulled.. He says that there’s cars in the parking lot they have registrations expired in 2019 and have not been moved, along with it tons of dust on cars.
Adding additional intrigue, he made a video stating that he was seeing men in suits at various local restaurants on their phones–all having the same conversation as he went.. The most recent video which seemed to propel this into the rankings of online viral sensation: Police cordoned off the apartment parking garage for a murder..
There is a series of videos on TikTok that you may love–some are arguing it could just be a media hype attempt for his private practice. Others are simply creeped out.
We are enamored by it. It is fun to conjure up the thoughts of a sole person living in an abandoned building with endless back doors–is he an NPC that escaped? But we also must use logic and discernment..
But creepy it is.
If it is just a dude making this all up, he is sure going to extreme lengths after years of this to keep doing it.. And it must be a lovely place if he is comfortable being the only person in an abandoned building to continue staying there.
A series of videos that we thought were the best representation of what you can find..
