George W. Bush, the 3rd president of Canada, lived from 1960 - 2001. He tragically passed away on September 9, 2001. He was working in a tall building in Vancouver, Canada, at the time, and this building was struck by a rogue airplane. He and 162 others lost their lives.

President Bush was replaced by Dwayne Johnson, who served as president of Canada until he stepped down in 2019. Johnson is now living in Spain where he runs a small business selling handmade earrings.

President Johnson was replaced by Harry Styles, who is still currently the president of Canada. Styles is an openly gay and transgender man who fights for the rights of ALL Canadians, except those who speak French.

RED NOTICE (2021)

Il y a deux mille ans, Marc Antoine offrit à Cléopâtre trois œufs ornés de bijoux en guise de cadeau de mariage ; les œufs sont perdus au cours du temps jusqu'à ce que deux soient retrouvés en 1907.

En 2021, l'agent spécial John Hartley, un profileur du FBI, est chargé d'aider l'agent d'Interpol Urvashi Das à enquêter sur le vol potentiel d'un des œufs, exposé au musée du Château Saint-Ange à Rome, après avoir été informé qu'il pourrait même avoir déjà été volé. Alors que le chef de la sécurité dissipe leur inquiétude, l'œuf étant toujours exposé, Hartley dévoile que c'est une copie. Le voleur, Nolan Booth, rentre ensuite chez lui à Bali avec l'œuf mais Hartley, Das et une équipe d'Interpol l'arrêtent et récupèrent l'œuf. À l'insu de tous, Sarah Black, la principale concurrente de Booth connue sous le nom de "Le Fou", l'échange contre un faux. Le lendemain, Das, mise au courant que l'œuf récupéré est également une copie, emprisonne Hartley dans une prison russe avec Booth, croyant qu'il est complice du vol.

Black leur propose de travailler ensemble pour trouver le troisième œuf, Booth ayant révélé à Hartley qu'il sait où il se trouve. Hartley propose qu'ils s'unissent pour battre Black ; ils s'échappent de la prison et se rendent à Valence pour voler le deuxième œuf, propriété du marchand d'armes Sotto Voce. Ils rencontrent alors Black, qui a également l'intention de le voler. Voce appréhende les deux hommes tandis que Black révèle qu'elle travaille avec Voce.

Booth divulgue alors l'emplacement du troisième œuf et Black part pour l'Égypte où Booth prétend qu'il se trouve. Après avoir quitté Valence, Booth révèle à Hartley que l'œuf se trouve en fait en Argentine, dans un endroit connu de lui seul car inscrit sur la montre de son défunt père laquelle appartenait au conservateur d'art personnel d'Adolf Hitler ; en 1945, Zeich a fui l'Europe pour l'Argentine. Le duo trouvent le bunker secret où se trouvent d'innombrables artefacts nazis dont le troisième œuf. Black, qui n'est pas tombée dans leur piège et les a suivis, les menace d'une arme mais est interrompue par l'arrivée de Das. Hartley, Booth et Black s'échappent et, après avoir plongé d'une cascade, atterrissent dans un lac au fond. Booth découvre alors que Hartley et Black sont partenaires, qu'Hartley n'a jamais travaillé pour le FBI et qu'il est lui aussi "Le Fou". Booth, menotté à un arbre dans la forêt tropicale, leur donne alors l'œuf.

Au Caire, Hartley et Black livrent les trois œufs à un milliardaire égyptien comme cadeau de mariage de sa fille (à l'image du cadeau original de Marc Antoine à Cléopâtre). Le mariage est interrompu par un raid d'Interpol de Das. Six mois plus tard, Booth fait son apparition sur leur yacht, en Sardaigne ; il les informe qu'à la suite de ses révélations à Interpol, leur compte en banque aux îles Caïmans, sur lequel les 300 millions de dollars du milliardaire égyptien ont été versés, a été siphonné, les laissant sans argent. Booth leur offre une chance d'échapper à Interpol, sur le point de les capturer, s'ils l'aident à réaliser un nouveau braquage, au Louvre à Paris, qui nécessite trois personnes pour réussir. Alors qu'ils s'échappent, Das rédige une notice rouge à l'encontre du trio.

The Epic Imprint series St George (and all the other titles in the Shadowline Saga) was cancelled due to low sales with the last issue being 8 with a cover date of August, 1989. The story was completed with the miniseries Critical Mass. The issue did introduce Jeong Lee, created by Dwayne McDuffie and Jim Lee. ("Grace" St George 8#, Marvel/Epic Event)

"...SO WHAT'S THE SECRET OF MAKING A GOOD MOVIE ADAPTATION OF A VIDEO GAME?"

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on front cover box art for "Rampage" (Atari 2600), released by Balmy Midway in 1986, plus more poster art for 2018's sci-fi/action/adventure/monster movie "Rampage," loosely based on the popular video/arcade game.

Resolution at 1153x1419 & 1000x1490.

COLLIDER: "There are a lot of bad movies that are based on video games. So what’s the secret of making a good movie adaptation of a video game?"

DWAYNE JOHNSON: "Great question. I’m not quite sure what the secret is. I can tell you what we wanted to do was we wanted to collectively get together and put together the best team possible to execute on the script, and that means bringing in all the great department heads. We had a great studio who does this very well, we’ve got a team in Brad Peyton. Yes, we’ve done "San Andreas." Before "San Andreas," we’ve done ["Journey 2"]. That’s when I found how talented Brad was. At that time, we were using James Cameron’s new cameras right off of "Avatar," it’s pretty cool, and how Brad was able to execute that."

In Memoriam 74th Emmy Awards

Falcon by Marie Severin

☆Astro Observations PT 3☆

**NOTE: This blog contains Mature content.

🩷 Libra & Pisces Venus can be prone to cheating, as BOTH tend to fall in love with the "idea" of love rather than the actual person in front of them. Flaky as fuck, but they're a hella charming bunch tho! Usually attractive.

❤️‍🔥 Scorpio Risings can sometimes struggle with intimacy, due to having Air Signs over their Water Houses. They crave deep bonds (like all Scorpio placements) yet often run from them at the same time. They can allow their FEAR to sabotage their greatest connections. It's tragic!

🩷 Capricorn Moon Men are hot AF! Their sex appeal is highly underrated if you ask me. They appear calm, dominant, stoic & strong - like men whom you can truly rely upon in every way. And ohhh - they also have seriously Big Dick Energy. 🤣 Brad Pitt, George Clooney & Dwayne Johnson have all been voted Sexiest Man Alive for good reason! 💋 Gerard Butler displayed such stunning power as King Leonidis in the 300 movie; Ryan Gosling passionately stole our hearts in The Notebook; Michael Douglass snatched our panties through the screen in Basic Instinct; And Freddy Mercury is an LGBT legend whose iconic musical anthems continue to make everyone from *all* walks of life feel mightily empowered. 💪How did Cap Moons get so damn awesome?? I tip my hat off to you guys! Much love.

YUM!! 🤪 *drools unapologetically*

❤️‍🔥 Mars 2H and/or 5H Synastry are *huge* indicators for attraction. It goes deeper than money, fun, etc. The House Person is typically rather possessive over the Mars Person; and the Mars Person feels very invested in the House Person. You will greatly enjoy pleasuring each other. 💋 The 2nd House = attraction to each others bodies. You want to devour them like dessert! 🤪 But you also see real VALUE in them as well. The 5th House = romantic attraction & passion. You both bring endless amounts of joy to one another both in & out of the bedroom.

🩷 You can easily fall in love with or quickly gain strong feelings for someone whose DSC or 7H is conjunct your Venus. You view them as the Ideal Partner because they embody many of the qualities that you're looking for long-term.

❤️‍🔥 In 8th House Synastry, BOTH parties have power in different ways. The House Person sets the pace of the relationship and decides *when* they will allow the Planet Person into their heart or their "world", so to speak. And the Planet Person decides *when* they will surrender to the House Person - setting the tone for transformation, as they have a lot of influence on the HP's moods & overall well-being. BOTH parties have an emotional pull over the other! 💯 It's only "lopsided" if somebody isn't physically attracted to the other to begin with. 🤷🏾‍♀️ In that case, you're wasting your time and need to move on ASAP.

🩷 Moon + Mars Synastry = the best of both worlds!! Sexual AND emotional compatibility between you & your partner. Tough & Tender. Masculine + Feminine enraptured in a sensual Tango. 💃🏾 Hair-pulling & ass-slapping one minute... passionate kisses & slow grinds the next... with loving cuddles ALWAYS sure to follow after an explosive climax. 🔥 This is the person whom you could watch paint dry with and *still* have the time of your life together! You excite them. They make you feel vulnerable. No one can make you madder than they can. Lol. You have a rare connection & can see into each other's souls. 🫶 So cherish it!

❤️‍🔥 Venus 8H Individuals are often highly selective about who they sleep with, and especially choosy about who they commit to. It's not easy to win their heart! They typically have MANY admirers though who obsess over trying to *capture* them. They are effortlessly captivating, seductive people whom others are desperate to get the approval of. 💋 Everyone wants them, but few actually get to have them. But my God, if they choose you - they are highly loyal, loving & devoted! 💯 Their connection with their partner gets stronger (not weaker) over time. They seek to transform you sexually, emotionally, spirituality - and they deeply *crave* for you to do the same for them in return. 🔥 And if they can't be consumed by their TRUE EQUAL... they'd rather remain alone. These people DO NOT settle for less. They'll have fun with you, and that is surely it.

☆That's all for now, Darlings! Thanks so much for being apart of my lovely world. 🔮

who dafuq do venusian women frequently go for? 🗿

took a couple of venus nakshatra women i could name from the top of my head and quickly searched their ex/partner's placements to see some patterns.

Seems that Venusian women tend to go for Rahu, Ketu, Mercury nakshatra men. There are also other additions of course.

Zoe Kravitz, Purva Phalguni Moon, is currently married(?) to Channing Tatum who's an Uttara Phalguni Moon and Ashwini Sun. She dated Swati Moon Penn Badgley. She was also with Ardra Moon Karl Glusman. She'd also dated Ardra ASC & Swati Moon Ben Foster.

Christina Aguilera, Bharani Moon, whose ex husband Jordan Bratman has Uttara Ashada Moon. Her fiance, Matthew Rutler, has Revati Sun & Chitra Moon.

Demi Lovato, Bharani Moon, dated Chitra Moon Trace Cyrus. Had been with Ashlesha Sun Joe Jonas. She dated a Revati Moon and Mula Sun Mike Johnson. She was also with Mula Moon, Ardra Sun Max Ehrich.

Kelly Rowland who is Bharani Moon is currently married to Mrigashira Moon husband Tim Weatherspoon. She had dated Swati Moon, Uttara Ashada Sun Dwayne Wade. She'd been with Swati Moon & Mula Sun Roy Williams.

Hailee Steinfeld, Purva Ashada Moon, dated Mula Moon Cameron Smoller. She was with Ashlesha Moon Niall Horan. And now she may currently be with Krittika Sun Josh Allen.

Bella Hadid, Purva Phalguni Moon, was with Weeknd who is a Dhanistha Sun. She'd also dated Drake who is a Magha ASC, Ardra Moon and Swati Sun. She recently dated Shatabhisha Moon Mark Kalman. And right now she's currently dating Revati Sun Adan Banuelos.

Meryl Streep, Bharani Moon, is married to Jyestha Sun, Ashlesha Moon Don Gummer.

Ashley Tisdale, Purva Ashada Moon & Bharani ASC, is married to Ashwini Sun & Ashwini Moon husband Christopher French.

Florence Pugh, who's Purva Ashada Sun, and Revati Sun & Dhanistha Moon Zach Braff.

Hayley Atwell, Purva Phalguni Moon, with Ardra Sun Tom Cruise.

Bharani Moon Lucy Liu was engaged to Uttara Ashada Sun Zach Helm. She dated Uttara Ashada Moon George Clooney. She was also with Will Cormack who is Uttara Phalguni Moon & Uttara Ashada Sun.

Venusians also seem to like Jupiter men or they'll tend to attract them, so those are the honorable mentions. They can also go for Mars/Sun men as seen.

Best Christmas ever! (Dwayne x Fem!Reader)

I'M BAAAAAAAACK!!

So this idea hit me when I read these prompts and I couldn't resist writing it. It seems I am a sucker for Christmas themed stories with Dwayne and Laddie lol. This is kinda in the same universe as "When you're unaware" since it mentions a brother who owns a truck

late night drives to see all the christmas lights in the neighborhood

Pairing: Dwayne x Fem!Reader

Word count: 885

Warnings: Overload of cuteness

Ko-Fi

"The Carter's still got the biggest light display back home?" Your brother asked as you walked down the boardwalk to meet up with the boys, it had only been about five months since you had met them and already you couldn't picture your life without the rowdy group.

"Oh yeah, every year Jenny is adding something new. I think now it's a competition between them and the Gonzalez family that moved in down at the old Jackson place, they go all out too"

"I remember how pissed George used to get when mom would get dad to decorate"

"Yeah times that by a hundred and you now know the first Christmas after the Gonzalez's moved in" you laughed just as you caught sight of the boys.

"Y/N!" Laddie called, running down the boardwalk to hug you.

"Hey sweetie! Having fun so far?"

"Paul took me on the rollercoaster and Dwayne got me cotton candy" he smiled up at you.

"Hopefully in that order right?" You laughed.

"Paul knows better" Dwayne nodded earning a 'Hey!' from the blonde vamp.

"So what were you two discussing?" David asked while Paul passed a blunt to your brother.

"The families that go all out for Christmas back home"

"Should have seen this one, I swear they must spend a grand a day in electric with how many lights they have" your brother told them.

"Whoa really?" Laddie asked, now invested in the conversation.

"Oh yeah, think of like every light on the boardwalk but on just one house" you laughed.

"Paired with light up animatronics of Santa, reindeer, and snowmen" your brother finished.

"That is so cool!"

"It really was" your brother nodded.

"It definitely made Christmas" you smiled

"That it did"

"I will admit, I'm gonna miss not seeing it this year...I feel like it's not Christmas time until you see the lights"

"Yeah I know what you mean, it's childhood"

"But I get to spend this Christmas with you so I'm happy!" You smiled, leaning down and grabbing Laddie in a bear hug, listening to the smallest vampire laugh, unknown of the eyes that were watching the scene unfold with a soft smile, and a plan forming in his head.

It had been a couple weeks since then, the boardwalk had decked itself out even more for the Christmas season with various lights and window displays, but that wasn't what Dwayne wanted you to see that night when he pulled up to your house. He parked his bike in the garage, Laddie jumping off the back to go get you while he grabbed the keys to your brother's truck. He had already told him his plan, so he had offered his vehicle since it would be able to fit the three of you, and because he kept it at your house instead of at the cave near the ocean air. He watched you stumble out, quite literally, due to Laddie dragging you, he may only be half vamp but he was still stronger than a human. A bag of homemade cookies in one hand and a smile on your face as you gained your balance.

"I have been retrieved" you laughed, making your way over to him.

"I also come baring goods, but please kind sir, why have I been fetched from my kitchen?"

"Because fair maiden, we are going for a drive" he smiled, holding up your brother's keys, which caused you to raise an eyebrow.

"Come on!" Laddie cheered, pulling you towards the old truck before you could say anything, you laughed as you helped him up into the cab, before getting in once he settled in the middle of the bench seat, Dwayne soon getting in and starting up the old girl. You weren't sure what he had in mind, but you knew he wouldn't do anything reckless, not only was he not that type, but he also had Laddie in the vehicle, your brother's vehicle at that. He drove for a while before you found yourself in a more populated part of town, but not as populated as the boardwalk area, more of the suburban type of place...And that's when you saw them.

Lights were strung up on just about every house, in ever color, and every shape. Some houses had full blown Christmas trees out front while others had the wire reindeers. Some had Santa on the roof while others had the classic blowmolds that looked like they had been passed down for generations.

It was Christmas.

Dwayne smiled as he watched you and Laddie stare in awe at the houses, the radio softly playing a Christmas station while he drove slowly. Laddie had already dug into your cookies as he offered them both one with a smile.

"This is so...magical" you smiled.

"This street continues on into the next town, they do this every year. I always take Laddie to see it" he explained.

"It's my favorite part of Christmas! When we heard you talking about missing the lights Dwayne wanted to show you too!" Laddie spoke around a mouthful of cookie. You tried not to tear up as you looked over at the man who held a soft smile while looking at the two of you, his two favorite people he concluded.

"Thank you, this is the best Christmas ever" you spoke softly. He simply nodded as he watched Laddie curl up against you, pointing excitedly to his favorite displays. He couldn't agree more.

'Best Christmas ever'

I'm so happy with how this came out! Short but sweet lol. I really do lean towards Dwayne and Laddie for Christmas stories 😂. I hope everyone enjoyed it!

So I’m in ED recovery and also fat, and have been reading “The Diet Myth” by Paul Campos.

In the beginning of the book he talks about how Americans have an “Anorexic World Lenses” that they are seeing the concepts of health and wellness through, mainly thanks in part to the diet industry and pharmaceutical lobbying groups that are filled with what he refers to as “anti-fat warriors.”

And reading about his anorexic world lenses theory makes a lot of things make sense. especially when it comes to fat people recovering from restrictive eating disorders.

These anti-fat warriors will scream about how people who are fat during or after recovery just “swapped one ED for another” (implying that a person is now binge eating to the point of having BED instead of restricting to the point of AAN).

While this can be the case for some, If the person who is recovering is working with a care team they most likely are not binging. It’s just a 8” to 10” plate, filled with carbs, protein, and fruit or veg with little white space on a plate (common way to portion food to make sure a meal is actually a meal in ED recovery) is so foreign to them, that they think a normal meal constitutes “over eating”.

They personally don’t eat that much (because they bought into the bogus, manipulated science and stats from the weight loss industry hook, line, and sinker) because they don’t want to be “fat and die young” (<- a myth with little scientific backing btw) so a fat person eating a normal amount of obviously bingeing, and needs to stop.

And they’ll scream this perception at fat people in recovery, because how dare they start learning to accept size differences, how dare they accept their body no matter how it turns out! Why aren’t they buying into the big pharma propaganda!?! Why aren’t they destroying their livers and GI tracts with Ozempic and metformin for a few pounds of weight loss?! Why aren’t they following the script?!

It’s a typical freak out akin to what I felt when I saw the number on the scale increase by half a pound when I was deep in my eating disorder.

The anorexic world lenses is very real, it’s what causes us to label an average hight woman at a typical weight “ob*se”, it’s the system that labels people like George Clooney and Dwayne “the rock” Johnson as “ob*se”.

It’s the system used by our government to justify torturing fat people with drugs they don’t need for minimal weight loss so they can determine who is the compliant fat and who is the “bad” fat who has seen through the BS.

Anyway, I highly recommend the book as of right now, and if wanted I will post more as I read more.
