    To the class of 2024

    Its here. So many students graduating.. so many memories being herallded and speeches from valedictorians on turning the page and moving into adulthood are taking place now.

    It’s both a beautiful time of year but equally a monent on a calendar filled with meloncholy.

    The last day of school is a liminal moment, marking the threshold between the familiarity of student life and the uncertainty of the future.

    As graduates walk through the halls they’ve known for four years, there’s a strange feeling of alienation.

    A dark loneliness mixed with a haze of nostalgia.

    The once-welcoming environment now seems foreign, and they feel like strangers in a place that was once a second home.

    Suddenly they get an eerie feeling that they are not welcome.. lessons continue for those who continue to inhabit the rooms.. but the seniors must leave.

    They are done.

    It’s sudden and strange when it occurs.

    This transition underscores the bittersweet nature of leaving behind a significant chapter while stepping into the unknown.

    Good luck to the class of 2024. Please change the world for the best–you opened your high school heats in the midst of mask wearing and pandemic scares. You’ve come a long way.. there ate scars from that. We all have some. You were kids and maybe don’t know how much the scars stuck around. But we all have baggage and trauma–generational trauma–and we just persevere.. you will, too.

    But you also have work to do. So let’s get moving and good luck.. make this planet–and maybe space–a better place for all previous and soon to be graduating classes.

    Super Size Me creator dead of cancer

    Morgan Spurlock, the filmmaker and former CNN series host whose McDonald’s documentary “Super Size Me” was nominated for an Academy Award, died of cancer complications Thursday, according to his family.

    Spurlock, who was 53, died in New York, surrounded by family and friends, his brother said in a statement.

    “It was a sad day, as we said goodbye to my brother Morgan,” Craig Spurlock said. “Morgan gave so much through his art, ideas, and generosity. The world has lost a true creative genius and a special man. I am so proud to have worked together with him.”

    Spurlock’s directing career was varied and unpredictable. He was best known for “Super Size Me,” which sparked a national conversation …

    The Vatican has rocked the paranormal world: Changes to ‘supernatural’ rules

    A new document from the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith published on Friday, May 17, has updated the norms for discerning alleged supernatural phenomena.

    The full story includes the link to the vatican release .

    The norms come into force on Sunday, May 19, the feast of Pentecost. The document is preceded by a detailed presentation by Cardinal Víctor Manuel Fernández, Prefect of the Dicastery, followed by an introduction and six possible conclusions. The procedure allows for faster decisions while respecting popular devotion.

    As a rule, the Church’s authority will no longer be engaged to officially define the supernatural nature of a phenomenon, a process that can require large amounts time to thoroughly study an event.”

    The TikTok time traveler in the shed

    What a story!!

    We have been following the stream of a TikTok user named Alec Schaal who claims a time traveler was in his shed..

    image

    Here is the basics: Security cameras from the real estate TikToker from one of his air BNBs showcased a strange event: A younger looking man with a back pack, acting a bit odd, walks into his back yard. He walks into the shed.. He never comes out. All of this was caught on a security cam..

    The owner called the police, and the cops could not find anyone in the shed or anywhere else.

    A day later an older looking man walks OUT of the shed, stares at the camera, and walks away in the front yard.

    All of the footage has been uploaded to TikTok. All of the evidence presented has been now become the latest hotly debated time traveler thread.

    Calling Art Bell.

    The story made TMZ a few days ago. Other news organizations are now picking it up.

    Shaal even showed a video from the front yard cam.. the older gent seemingly walks slowly towards a car that is parked. He stared into the passenger seat, and walks away. Moments later, the later turns on and turns around and seemingly drives towards the man who walked away..

    A cool story. A lot of people are critical and saying that Shaal is just trying to get attention.. Others are open to a time traveler…

    Both sides of the spectrum, whether they doubt or believe, are invested in this story..

    But what, if you can tell, is the logo on the shirt of the older man who comes out a day later……?

  • This is life..

    This is life..

    So this is just life now, right?

    Compare your life today to what it was 5 years ago, compare it to 10 years ago. This is not political. No “Reagan are you better off four years ago” stuff. Just … reality.

    Now, if you’re really young, there may not be much to compare to. Your memories just sort of blend together in a big bowl of childhood.. but if you’re older, if you have a recollection of things as they once wore in the not too distant past.

    You will realize that things today are not the way they should be .. The documentary about Nickelodeon near about a month ago has come and gone. Since that time, everything seemingly has moved on the scandal. That should have been one that rocked an entire industry. Just poofed away.

    The war in Russia and Ukraine has killed potentially hundreds of thousands of soldiers. The media has told us civilians have been dying along the way as well .. The Israel Gaza conflict has claimed the life of at least 30000 civilians, including children, but yet we just continue to move on.

    College campuses are being rocked by protest, but it’s not just process, but instead now violent outrage. But the media just tells us keep plugging away. This is life. They are graduating anyway, apparently.

    Everyone says the economy’s doing fantastic, but you’re broke.

    Prices that you pay now are much higher than they’ve ever been before. Forget this is normal.

    The new normal as it would be. And I’m not sure if it was COVID. Some will say this is the ramifications of free money giveaways during the virus outbreak.

    With inflation topping and toppling us, but something seems to be wrong. Something seems to be weird and everyone seems to be on edge. Things don’t feel right. You all know you can sense it. You all know you can feel it, but yet we’re told this is just how things are guess what? I don’t think so.
