Bryan Kohberger has just been sentenced to four life sentences for the horrific 2022 murders of four college students in Idaho.
In court today, families and friends of the victims emotionally confronted the man responsible for so much grief. One moment in particular stood out: Alivea Goncalves, sister of victim Kaylee Goncalves, delivered a statement that was nothing short of extraordinary.
Her words were direct. Unapologetically raw. Unforgettable.
From the very start—when she told Kohberger to “sit up and listen”—to the moment she declared that her sister Kaylee could have “kicked your f—ing ass,” the courtroom was shaken. Her message cut through the silence and struck with force. It was grief and love transformed into power.
If you hadn’t attacked them in the middle of the night while they were asleep, like a PEDOPHILE, Kaylee would have kicked your fucking ass.”
All of the families brought strength and dignity to the courtroom, but Alivea’s voice captured something primal—something real. It was a sister standing tall in the shadow of tragedy and speaking truth to evil.
May God rest the souls of the victims. They were taken far too soon, but their stories—and the love that surrounds them—will never be forgotten.
Meanwhile, something else, people have noticed involves a piece of paper that was sitting next to the now, convicted murderer.
Bryan Kohberger had a black heart drawing next to him during his sentencing hearing.
The eerie symbol was spotted on a piece of paper just in front of Kohberger as he stoically listened to the families of his four victims deliver emotional victim impact statements.
He stared straight ahead, not glancing down at the heart as parents, siblings, grandparents and friends of the slain college students eviscerated him, one after another, in court.
You have to wait until November for the final season of Stranger Things to roll out.. but this summer and fall you can get your fix if you are willing to travel to Broadway in New York City..
Stranger Things .. live on stage..
There has been a trailer released for the show with this caption: There’s only 001 show to see on Broadway this season. Get your tickets to see Stranger Things: The First Shadow, the most Tony award-winning play of the year. https://www.strangerthingsbroadway.com
This looks really, really good.
A few comments from YouTube we thought worth quoting:
This needs to be shown on Netflix if everyone insists it’s important for season 5.
I went and saw it and it’s AMAZING! It’s totally worth it. They probably won’t put it on Netflix till the live show has finished running, they don’t want to undermine the show by just having it easily available on streaming, they want people to experience it live, it’s why it’s a Broadway show in the first place.
A genuinely fantastic piece of theatre! The set design, sound, lighting, stage craft, etc is astounding. Please see this if you get the chance! This absolutely deserves a pro-shot on Netflix
Saw it on Broadway and it was incredible. Netflix should pull a Disney and release this online like Hamilton. They fronted most of the production budget for this spectacle and it’s cannon for the timeline.
He was the prince of darkness, and he ate a bat.. but now he is succumbed to his own fate, and he knows something we don’t know: what happens on the other side….
Heartbreaking news is rocking the entertainment and pop culture world today—the legendary Ozzy Osbourne has died. A titan of music, a defining voice of heavy metal, and a true icon of pop culture, Ozzy’s passing comes less than three weeks after what would now be considered his final performance.
In what was dubbed a “final bow,” Ozzy took the stage at Villa Park seated on a throne, surrounded by love, thunder, and decades of music history. That night, he told fans:
“You’ve no idea how I feel – thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
The emotional gig featured performances from some of his favorite bands, including Metallica and Guns N’ Roses, culminating with a historic reunion of the original Black Sabbath lineup—Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, Bill Ward, and Ozzy himself—for the “Back to the Beginning” concert.
Following news of his passing, Metallica shared a heartfelt tribute on X (formerly Twitter), posting a photo with Ozzy and a single broken heart emoji. Sometimes, that says it all.
Ozzy Osbourne wasn’t just a musician. He was a force. A cultural shapeshifter. A survivor. The voice of rebellion and raw emotion across generations.
Rest in peace, Ozzy. And thank you—from the bottom of our hearts.
And showing how important and historic Ozzy was.. here he is performing live as the Soviet Union collapsed..
The wrestling community is mourning the loss of someone whose name you may not instantly recall—but once we describe him, the memories come rushing back.
Eric Servis, affectionately known to fans as Roddy Hogan, passed away after a month-long stay in the hospital, according to a post from a close friend. Since the 1980s, Eric became a familiar and beloved figure at countless wrestling events—pay-per-views, live shows, and TV tapings—dressed head-to-toe like Hulk Hogan. With his signature mustache, bandana, and undeniable presence, he brought a jolt of energy wherever he went. He was a bit smaller and maybe a little less intimidating than the real Hulkster, but every bit as dedicated. Fans lit up when they saw him—and so did the camera crews.
Here was a YouTube video from about a decade ago…
But Eric was much more than a superfan. Based in Detroit, he was an ice cream truck driver by day, and a creative force by heart—a writer, screenwriter, comedian, and entertainer…
I didn’t see him at any of the live events I attended as a kid, but I absolutely remember him from Survivor Series in the mid-’90s. I’m almost certain I saw him pop up during WrestleMania as well—my memory’s fuzzy on the exact show—but I do remember how the cameras always found him, and the crowd always responded. He was part of the fabric of that golden wrestling era. In many ways, Roddy Hogan was as much a part of the show as the superstars themselves.
Rest in peace, Eric Servis. You were one of a kind..
We’re not getting paid for this—just doing it for the love of sugar and the spirit of Stranger Things coming back this November.

We are all said .. especially Gen X and elder millennials…
When you hear your Microsoft team song sound this morning as your phone rings on a busy Monday, think about where your data is going.
A major hack has occurred… a vulnerability in Microsoft’s SharePoint server software was exploited by hackers to carry out “active attacks” globally on various entities, including businesses and U.S. federal agencies and state governments, prompting the software giant to issue an emergency patch.
In a statement on X, Microsoft said it has released a security update for SharePoint Subscription Edition and SharePoint 2019 users to “mitigate active attacks” targeting servers running the software.
The company noted that the vulnerability only impacts companies using Microsoft’s software to host their own servers, and customers relying on Microsoft’s 365 cloud services have not been affected.
Citing government officials and security researchers, the Washington Post reported that the vulnerability affected U.S. federal and state agencies, universities and various businesses.
In a statement on Sunday night, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) said it was “aware of active exploitation of a new…vulnerability enabling unauthorized access to on-premise SharePoint servers.”
We are on the other end of midsummer.. a year of disaster and disdain .. All the while we are being watched..
It’s our annual tradition.. the panic mode has set in. We are on the ‘other side’ of summer.. the day are slowly shortening *(for now) .. and soon the heat we complain about will be filled with the smell of bus fumes and autumn air… The summer of 2025: No secrets during this nightmare..
The Summer of No Secrets
There’s something about the middle of summer that feels like a mirage. It’s hot, humid, sun-drenched.. But then you look at the calendar and realize: We are already on the way down. The days are getting shorter. The lightning bugs have peaked.. If you were lucky enough to see them. The school supply aisle is back. Halloween decor is back–that one we are ok with.
It always happens fast, but this year feels different. More abrupt. More exposed. Maybe it’s because, like everything else, even the season feels under surveillance.
Take the pop culture moment of the week: A CEO from Astronomer was forced to resign after he was caught on the kiss cam at a Coldplay concert snuggling with employee. Their spouses were undoubtedly as shocked as they were..
You’d think that would be the most wholesome thing to happen all year. But the clip went viral, and suddenly what may have been a private scandalous moment was up for public ridicule and attention.
And isn’t that the strange paradox of our time? Summer is supposed to be the season of lightness. Of youthful mistakes, of beach trips where no one cares what time it is. It’s the season of secrets. Of whispered confessions under fireworks. This is not a post to make excuses for them.. fate catches up. But in the ‘old days’ this was not a regular experience.
But now there are cameras. Everywhere. The joy is still there—just filtered through 4K resolution and comment sections. And sometimes the joy goes away when you realize others may be looking.
Beyond humans, it is fate itself that seems to view all. There’s a certain seemingly-paranormal eye that always watches, right?
Think about this: whenever you’ve done something in life that was a little mischievous or devious, you got caught. Maybe not at first.. it could take a few weeks. But something would happen where eventually the truth came out. Like Stephen King says—everything is eventual. Or it is just that there is really is no such thing as a secret that doesn’t eventually surface.
The CEO’s secret didn’t just come out, it became a meme. A supernova megatronic meme. You’ve probably already seen it, maybe even laughed at it. Your feed might be flooded right now with every possible variation of his shocked face photoshopped next to horror icons, sitcom stills, or surreal internet in-jokes. It’s funny. It’s wild and overexposed. And behind the laughter, there’s a real human moment—awkward, intimate, maybe painful—that’s now everyone’s punchline.
It feels like every summer now has its sacrificial billionaire. One year it’s a doomed submersible. Another, a PR disaster or a fall from grace. This year? A concert and a kiss. Comparatively tame, but just as culturally ravenous a feeding frenzy we have had in quite a while. If you’re rich in the summer of 2025, tread lightly. July heat won’t save you from the internet’s fire.
Since this is The Horror Report, we’d be remiss not to share one of the standout memes: Leatherface from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre ..
The truth hiding beneath the meme is darker: cameras are everywhere. Secrets are nowhere. The second you leave your house, you’re probably on film. And depending on how you feel about smart tech, you might not even be safe in your own living room.
So here we are…mid-July, drenched in sun and surveillance. Summer used to be a time for disappearing into the moment. Now it feels like we’re all starring in some strange documentary we never agreed to be in.
Here’s to the few moments that still belong just to us. If they exist.
For the sake of history, we will re-broadcast what we wrote in 2002 on the HORROR REPORT .. IT is strange, so many summers ago now, ancient history .. but I remember the feeling when I wrote this post. It was very late at night.. I think in that point in my youth I was drinking BUD ICE (remember that? ) .. and I was listening to classical music loudly when I wrote this stream of midsummer consciousness .. a rerun presented to you in 2025, the year of our lord:
March on, march on! Triumphant. Let the music roll The bombs bursting in the air of the hateful The tide running low and then high, bringing in pond of the ocean on the rivers of the barge The maiden is singing through the window at her bride to be. The widow is singing at the graveyard of her husband that was. The music rolls on. March on, March on! Louder, louder! Swiftly
Suddenly, the perils of the future become apparent. Marching down the aisles of the school and college. The grade school has no boundary, but the high school has pain. The college has promise but the reality has no gain.
The music rolls on. Slower. Triumphant none the less. Chills running down the spines of parents in their seats and in their heavens and hells. MORE. Here they come. Students and gang members and drunks and dug addicts. Ready to march into the uncertainties of life. More and more. MORE come down. More music rolls. They take their seats. Surrounded by God and Satan all on one chair. Chills moving through the bodies of those even without feelings. A hush comes over the crowd…. Crack open a cold one. Light up a hot one. The music says the days are numbered The time is over. It keeps playing. Rewind. Fast Forward, it doesn’t leave your head. Blood flowing, grandmothers growing. All in the night. All at the drop of a hat.
The bottle gone empty. The blunt blunted. The police are here. Students and young adults don’t know where they are because their parents never gave them direction. Their parents never gave them direction because they lost the path. The battles that raged were won by no one and fought by everyone. We are lost. We lost. They lost us, now we can’t even find a war to fight. No one wants to fight a war that is un-winnable
But the march goes on. The beat continues. More and more walk down that aisle for their fateful visit with the hand of time. It gets no easier, does it? IT gets only more painful. The hand extended, the face stony. The music greets them like a violent storm in the night. They need to listen but they dread to hear it. The beat marches on with their feet. Platform and leather soled, their hats and tassels turn. They’re finished.
On with life! On with death! On with hate! And on with crystal meth. It doesn’t get any better, does it? Civil marches and freedoms goodbye. Holy alliances oout the window. Fear and loathing sense their home. Something has gotten into our blood. We are bloodless?
The music rolls on. Coming to a conclusion.; Wind blows and doors slam. What the hell are we even doing this for? We’re dreaming the impossible, nightmare visions of reality in our lives. All this and the march keeps marching, the beat keeps beating.
The giant butterfly she was riding on dropped down several feet .. she was fine, she made it to the stage safety.. but keep in mind this concert almost did NOT happen..
But fans were on edge waiting to get into the San Fran Chase Center due to undisclosed technical issues.. Were those technical issues what we saw with her on the large butterfly?
Is it time for artists to stop convincing themselves they can fly around concert venues? Not everyone is PINK..
