When we learned of RFK's brain worm, many of us remembered or tried to remember one of the best horror segments ever done on television, here it is, "The Caterpillar" is an odd name since it was about an Earwig, but it was a "Night Gallery" segment and is considered possibly the greatest horror TV episode ever. Here is the episode on DailyMotion. https://www.dailymotion.com/playlist/x5zoj5

A pair of Brooklyn public school teachers are plying kids as young as eight with anti-Israel propaganda, drawing lessons from a company that offers material twisting the classic “Wheels on the Bus” song into a hateful screed that cheers the eradication of the Jewish state, The Post has learned. In Giuseppe Rebaudengo and Anna Battaglia’s third-grade classrooms at PS 705 in Prospect Heights, young minds are being molded into “social justice warriors,” learning from materials that morph the beloved 1939 kiddie tune into a Palestinian resistance cry called “The Wheels on the Tank.” “The wheels on the tanks go round...

A transgender horror author who sparked outrage earlier this year by threatening to slit JK Rowling's throat has hailed Osama bin Laden's destruction of the Twin Towers. Gretchen Felker-Martin on Thursday joined in the chorus of admiration for the al-Qaeda leader, sparked by TikTokers suddenly 'discovering' his rational for 9/11. The Massachusetts-based author wrote on X, where she has 30,000 followers: 'Can pretty safely state that bin Laden and I did not, uh, agree on much, but blowing up the World Trade Center is probably the most principled and defensible thing he did.' Bin Laden's 2002 'Letter to America' has...

Skynet. Ultron. HAL-9000. These are but a few artificial intelligence systems that have gone rogue in films. Whether The Creator can produce a fictional AI that would make a mark on popular culture remains to be seen, but it is another movie that pits humanity against artificial intelligence. Its official website says the movie is about Joshua, an ex-special forces agent recruited to hunt down the Creator. That's the architect behind the advanced AI that was developed to protect humanity only to detonate a nuclear warhead in Los Angeles. The Creator apparently also developed a weapon with the power to...

He said they were called to the hostel at about 12:30...

As a bonus for being a T-Mobile customer, I receive Netflix for free. I hardly use it as I am not much interested in the Netflix produced original content. But I saw a trailer for a new series titled “1899”. I guess I am a sucker of four funnel liners filled with pretty women in Late Victorian-Edwardian clothing. I watched the first episode. I did enjoy the opening episode and one was thrown right into the story. The overall feel was coldness thanks to the cinematography and score. The score I could best describe as Steampunk Industrial. One thing I...

Here are some of the oddities I have run across lately, including a Cuban zombie film!

One of the first known cases of Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) “vaccine” adverse effects being passed down from mother to baby has come to light, demonstrating the dangers of the shots for women who are or who later decide to get pregnant while being “fully vaccinated.” Little Zack Reilly is now missing an arm, reports indicate, after it had to be amputated almost immediately after his birth when it was discovered that the child had developed blood clots in both his now-removed left arm as well as his brain. The child was reportedly delivered in an emergency caesarean at 37 weeks...

For its many flaws, the world of cryptocurrency has bequeathed to the English language a vivid new verb: rug-pulling. As its idiom-derived name suggests, rug-pulling is when a crypto developer hypes up a new coin or new project, gets ordinary people to invest in it, and then - all at once - shuts it down in such a way that they take all of their investors’ cash with them. It is a spectacular act of bad faith, a breach of trust so severe that it casts doubt on the entire cryptocurrency community, so-called. Yesterday, Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia...

Americans are being urged to stop using any of 285,000 adult portable bed rails after the deaths of at least three people who suffocated after becoming caught in one of 10 models of the product. The bed rails were manufactured and sold by Mobility Transfer Systems from 1992 to 2021 and by Metal Tubing USA in 2021 and 2022, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said on Thursday. Neither company has agreed to recall the beds or offer a remedy to consumers, according to the agency. At least three people died after becoming entrapped in the products, including a 78-year-old...

The Brood X cicada rises from its slumber once every 17 years, but some of these guys overslept. Experts say it’s not uncommon to see some cicadas come a year or two later. An expert from Mount Saint Joseph University says these stragglers coming out of the ground now has to do with soil temperatures. Just like us, cicadas like the warmth and once the soil gets to a temperature over 64 degrees, they start to rise to the occasion once again.
