This Movie Predicted the Future (And It's Terrifying)
Movies have long been a medium for exploring what the future might hold. From utopian visions to dystopian warnings, filmmakers often use their art to speculate about where humanity is headed. But every so often, a movie comes along that doesn't just speculate - it eerily predicts the future. Today, we're talking about a film that not only foresaw the shape of things to come but also left us questioning just how far fiction and reality are intertwined. This movie predicted the future - and it's terrifying.

I Rewatched Every Single Marvel Movie... And I Regret It
Rewatching the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is a daunting task. With over 30 films (and counting), spanning multiple phases, interconnected storylines, and countless characters, it’s a cinematic universe unlike any other. The MCU has defined modern blockbuster cinema, but rewatching every single Marvel movie back-to-back is not for the faint-hearted. I embarked on this journey thinking it would be a nostalgic trip, but by the end, I was left questioning whether it was worth it. Here’s why.

Booking A Reading On Day One Of The New Year
At least, that is what I thought I was doing. That is what the Facebook message read. I have gone into places that do exactly that. It is not usually something that needs a booking. It may be a short wait. My experience is that I will walk up to an empty spot where Tarot is advertised and sit down.

Ideas from Yahoo 3
Once again glancing through that page of Yahoo News I came across 10 School Punishments that would fly today for there would be lawsuits galore if these were done without permission from the parents. The first one listed was 'The Dunce Cap' I really do not remember this one used except on television on certain shows or pictures in history books. I do remember writing lines on the blackboard for some, and I do remember actually copying dictionary pages as a punishment that I had to do once, and I cannot remember what I did though. There was 'The Paddle' in the principal's office but he or she had to have permission from the parents to use it on whomever, ruler on the knuckles I heard of when but is a form of corporeal punishment and I do not remember any of my teachers using doing this at any grade level. There was students standing in the hallway, and I think I remember someone standing on one foot for some reason in the classroom and to go along with this I remember one teacher made a student sit under his desk this would be a form of public shaming and I did feel bad for this student even though he should not have been passing notes. The last few were extra homework and physical drills/exercises.

Ideas from Yahoo 2
After I turned on my computer and it booted up and before logging onto the Internet sites that I 'work' for the first thing I see is various articles on Yahoo and I browse for ideas. The first was on weird foods from the 7o's and this one will be on famous books that they say everyone should read sometime during their lives. I have to admit I have read most of them and three I plan to get one day. I am going to just list them here.

Ideas from Yahoo!!!
First article idea from Yahoo is weirdest food from the 90's you forgot existed. Even though I was not a kid of the 90's but a young adult of the 20's they listed the following foods. The first was Hubba Bubba bubble gum that came in a container like a detergent bottle I wonder if this could have been the start of some people trying to eat detergent pods? Other weird foods that I did not think as weird were the Nestle's Magic Ball that I can of remember and I do believe it disappeared for it posed a choking hazard for the little toy inside the candy, there was Crystal Pepsi that did taste the same as the original, Butterfinger BB's, Jello Pudding Pops, and Dunkeroo's that were like those snacks of cheese/peanut butter with crackers. I really liked Jello Pudding Pops, but I wonder if they would sell now for Bill Cosby was the spokesman for Jello products of the 80's. Bart Simpson was the cartoon figure for Butterfinger BB's and is line was you better stay away from my Butterfingers/BB's. Bart wasn't the best role model back when.

The Dumbest Criminals. Top Story - January 2025.
Barry & Gary were a couple of absolute spanners! Dumb as rocks those two blokes were, they became a laughing stock in London, nobody took them seriously. Not even your old gran would be threatened by their pathetic attempts at threats, they looked as dim-witted as they appeared too. Both of whom were balding and pudgy, looking like aged bulldogs that do nothing but grumble, sleep and shit all day long. If they didn't look so bloody hilarious, they might've been shot in the head, both of them, long before this story. Gangsters kept the two spanners alive, just to point and laugh at them, I suppose. Barry & Gary were "wannabe thugs", who often preyed on teenagers instead of grown men like themselves, yet they would still get battered by the rowdy chavs more often than not. Whenever the police were knocking about, they'd both shit themselves and leg it, like a couple of rats! The two men were cousins who grew up in the nicer part of Essex, but always wanted to appear tough and rough, putting on fake cockney accents and walking with their arms stretched out, looking like your mam carrying the shopping bags home. This went on for years, trying to appear like the hardest men in London, only to fail every time. So, of course they got desperate. Started bars fights and always lost, began pick pocketing and always got caught. Always ran whenever a knife was pulled out on them or something. They decided to rob a barbers one day, that's right. Not a bank, not a shop, not even a restaurant, a barbers. It was a start I guess, how hard could that be? They often visited the same place to get their haircut, so nobody expected them to try and rob the place. They entered on a Saturday morning at 9AM.
