#may thai leaked video

Phee's Reaction to Non and Keng makes Perfect sense for the Character

And he's have felt very fairy-godfatherly if he had reacted any different.

Let's step back a bit, into Phee's shoes. Give up, for a moment, your omniscient knowledge of events as a viewer, and work only with the information and emotions of Phee, a 15/16 year old teenager. He's not an adult and not mature, so we will not judge his emotional response as such. He is also, far more privileged than Non, be it socially, financially, or in regard to his relationships with his family and his mental health. So, we shall keep that in mind.

Phee has no family pressuring him to prove himself, rather, from how politely his father talked to him in ep 9 despite having to cover for him in the accounts case (something which will anger any reasonable parent upon finding out their child was involved in illegal dealings), we can see he is fully secure in the knowledge that his father will back him up whenever he needs him to. His father probably also knows and is okay with the fact that his son is gay.

He is also charismatic, enough to wheedle into this friend group probably years after its formation and still have acquired enough authority to make them do something they didn't want to (the film) and take charge immediately after the fall of Por. He's also physically strong. That makes it extremely unlikely that he had ever been bullied or had to deal with bullying, and if you've never dealt with it, you don't know how hard it is for the victim.

Lastly, his family is not shown to be struggling and he is mentally sound (so far as we're shown).

Non is his boyfriend, who was, prior to the leak of the video, abnormally close to his teacher, enough for Phee to question Non about this. Despite reassurances, the doubt never went away. Phee asks Non, as any good boyfriend would, if he needs help, and Non says no.

And then the video drops. Phee is angry enough as is, as anybody, especially a teenager already frustrated with his boyfriend's secrecy would be, but then he catches him embracing the same teacher.

Again, I would reiterate that Phee is

1) a 15-year old child with the emotional and logical range of a 15-year old sheltered teenager,

2) not shown to be particularly taken with global scale activism which would be the only way he'd figure out, logically (and I would argue logic is not at the forefront of your mind when anger is the reigning emotion), that Non was being exploited.

Considering the response of the Thai public to the video and the fact that Keng wasn't immediately fired, the situation is not considered 'exploitive' by social standards. It seems to be taken for granted that the relationship was consensual. Coming from a country with similar values, let me tell you that students marrying their teachers is considered 'romantic' where I live. Heck, in my school, there was a teacher who flirted with some select students all the time, and was never fired. He was actually very popular, and it wasn't until years after I left school that I realized how problematic that was. It was not something we were taught, socially, was predatory.

Phee would have to be involved in global level activism, to see others from vastly different backgrounds talk about how problematic this behavior is, to realize that his perception of the situation was warped.

So, back to the video leak. Phee watches the video, and gets emotional fast. Despite his patience with Non thus far, he is not Buddha (if he were, he'd not have gotten involved in New's scheme). He sees proof of all his fears being proven true, and then sees, with his own eyes, further proof of the same. Of course he lashes out. Of course he leaves, because I suspect had he stayed, Keng would have gotten a lot more bruises, and not much talking would have been done.

Of course he says what he does to Non, from the innate urge to hurt him just how much he himself was hurting. In that moment, he may very well have used his knowledge of Non's insecurities and mental health issues to pointedly attack Non, because he is not thinking beyond his own hurt. And if you think you'd have reacted any differently, you're probably too old to remember what it felt like to be a teenager.

And of course he blocks Non.

If this were a reddit post, this is what it would read like:

"AITA for blocking my boyfriend after watching a video of him being intimate with his teacher, who he assured me repeatedly he was not involved with?"

Fill in the rest with Phee's knowledge of the situation (I do not think he knows about the mafia or the money he got from Keng or the true extent of the group's bullying; correct me if I am wrong) and tell me the replies, even from you, wouldn't be a resounding "Well Done!"

He finds out about a lot of things from reading Non's script, but the breakup was long before that. And I don't feel it right to blame him for a normal teenage reaction to his first relationship imploding in such a way.

Not when Chay from Kinnporsche was lauded for the same reaction.

Monthly likes/dislikes

❣️ Our Skyy 2 - Absolutely loving it so far!!! It’s exactly the kind of lighthearted chaos I was hoping for and especially the NLMG episodes were so much fun to watch. Once again proves that PP just work in a comedy setting. ngl these 2 episodes were better than the entirety of the 12 episodes of the main show for me lmao 🤷🏼‍♀️ The SIMM episodes were a bit strange plot-wise lmao but JD’s chemistry saved the day for sure. Very excited for what’s to come!! 

👎🏻 A Shoulder To Cry On - I was very disappointed by this one. It was my first time dipping my toes back into the kbl world after TMS and I was hopeful as I read good reviews but my god it was so bad. it had a solid start but then the plot started reaching and it got weirder with every episode. and not to mention the lack of intimacy like I get they probably didn’t do it because of kpop or whatever but why even cast them to begin with then??? I have zero understanding for things like that. This was a bromance and I hated it lmao. bye.

there's something wrong in the village

Link to this fic on AO3. Words: 1642 Date posted: May 28, 2024

Summary: “Do I need to work on my wingman skills?”

Jimmy sits nervously on the couch, drumming his fingers on the armrest and trying to look casual for when Clark gets back from his date with Lois-- if he gets back from his date with Lois, but they have work early tomorrow and as far as Jimmy knows, they haven’t… then again, he guesses they wouldn’t exactly tell him, right? They are best friends and they do tell each other everything, but that seems like a little bit more than Jimmy needs to know, even to Jimmy. Still, Clark would send him a text or something if he wasn’t going to be home tonight, right?

As he’s stewing about whether or not his roommate is even going to get back for this potentially friendship-ruining conversation, he hears the door click open behind him and then, “Jimmy, I’m home! I brought you leftover curry. It’s Lois’ so it’s pretty spicy, but-- are you okay?” Jimmy looks up to see Clark with a brown paper bag in-hand, and he guesses he must look nervous.

“Uh, yeah. Totally. I’m totally cool,” Jimmy says, holding out his hands to take the bag from Clark. “Was the new Thai place any good?”

“It was!” Clark calls back from the kitchen, gone in practically the blink of an eye. When he walks back into the living room with a glass of water, he practically sinks into the vibrant green bean bag chair. It’s almost comical, with Clark’s giant body practically sculpted from steel squished into such a small seat, a little bit hunched in on himself. “The peanut sauce with the spring rolls was great! We’ll have to get some this weekend. Did you get up to anything fun?”

“I wrote up a few pitches for new Flamebird videos. It’s weird not being able to just record whatever I want while you’re out,” he mumbles around a mouthful of rice. When he swallows, he looks away. “Actually, about this weekend… I’m gonna have to reschedule board game night.”

“Oh. Okay,” Clark says, not even letting a tinge of disappointment leak into his voice. He’s always been much better than Jimmy at not taking canceled plans personally. Jimmy has been trying to get better about it since Clark and Lois got together, but it’s hard not to feel left out when your two best friends start dating each other. “Is something going on? Anything I can help with?”

He waves a dismissive hand through the air. “It’s nothing like that,” he assures, and he stares intently into the yellow curry, which must be at least 90% onions. Not entirely shocking, since Lois and Clark both don’t like them. It’s not spicy at all, either, but that’s Clark for you. Stop stalling, he thinks. “I actually have a date,” he says carefully.

Clark blinks a few times, and then that boisterous grin splits his face. “That’s great! Who’s it with? Anyone I know? I bet it’s that Lola girl from work, huh? The one who works with Cat.”

“Uh, definitely not,” Jimmy laughs. He’s not sure he’d date anyone at the Planet, but especially not any of the gossip columnists. That seems like begging for trouble. Plus, most of the women they work with only seem to have eyes for Clark, if they’re not already in committed relationships outside of work. Some of them, even if they are. Jimmy can’t really blame them. What was it Lois said? His big, beautiful idiot of a best friend?

Clark straightens up a little, leaning closer to Jimmy like they’re sharing secrets or something. Well, he guesses that is the point of this conversation, but Clark doesn’t know that. “Well tell me about it, then! How did you meet? What are you doing? When do I get to meet them?”

Jimmy’s heart is somewhere in the pit of his stomach. Clark is being so earnest and kind, and it’s hard to imagine him being anything but, but then Jimmy remembers how his mom and stepdad first reacted and how he was outright told to never bring it up again, remembers exactly where Clark was raised. Sure, he’s met the Kents, and they’re nice people, but so are his parents. Sometimes, nice people just don’t know any better. But if that was the case with Clark, he’d still do his best to understand, right? It wouldn’t be like Clark to just end their friendship over something that’s ultimately so trivial.

“Uh, we met at work-- well, kind of. We met at a work event. Actually, we didn’t really get along very well at first, but that’s sort of a whole other story. We ran into each other a few times after that and just got to talking. We’re going to Ace o’ Clubs and having a few drinks, just keeping it casual. And, uh, I dunno, I guess if things get serious?”

Clark nods along, his arms crossed over his chest and still wearing that dumb little smile that he doesn’t ever seem to realize charms everyone he ever talks to. “Well do I at least get a name for this mystery stranger? Or do I just have to start guessing people we would’ve met at work events? It’s not Siobhan McDougal, is it?”

“Haha, stop, stop!” Jimmy laughs, waving his hands through the air. Clark always knows how to put him at ease. That’s why they’re best friends.

He takes a deep breath, and he sees Clark tense up a bit. Maybe with super hearing you can actually hear when someone is stressed out, or maybe Clark just knows him that well by now. The smile falls off his face, and he leans just that little bit closer. “It’s actually Lex Luthor. Uh, you’d know him as Alex,” he says, watching Clark’s face for some sort of reaction. More than anything, he looks… confused. Confused isn’t bad.

“Ivo’s old assistant?” He asks, and with Jimmy’s clarifying nod, his eyebrows pinch together. He doesn’t say anything for a long minute, like he’s mulling over the implications of what Jimmy’s just told him, and Jimmy waits patiently. Mostly, he’s relieved that Clark doesn’t seem… upset. Upset about the secret, or just upset about the fact that there was a secret when they all agreed months ago that there weren’t going to be any more secrets. This isn’t exactly like being Superman or knowing that your boyfriend has the ability to end the world, though. It’s a lot more… personal. “Why didn’t you say anything?” He eventually asks, and his tone is almost… hurt. That’s the last thing that Jimmy wants.

It takes him a minute to think of an answer, or at least one that he feels comfortable saying. “It just didn’t really come up,” he says eventually, which is at least half of the truth. “I was never really interested in anybody in college, and since we’ve been working for the Planet we’ve been so busy I haven’t had time to date anybody. I don’t have the luxury of anybody immediately getting a huge crush on me, or a best friend who’s also an incredible wingman.” He feels guilty leaving it at this, though, when he knows what the real reason-- the bigger reason-- was. “And… I was scared.”

“Scared of what?” Clark immediately asks, his voice sounding more worried than hurt this time (though Jimmy knows him well enough to still hear the hurt there).

He takes a deep breath, and he can’t make eye contact, staring pointedly at the TV’s black screen. He sees his own reflection there, and he looks so… small. “When I told my parents I was bisexual, they told me to never bring it up again. They said that it wasn’t safe for guys like me to say things like that, and that if I was smart, I’d just marry a woman I liked a whole lot one day and never say a word about it to anyone. That was during our freshman year. And back then, the only thing I really knew about you was that you grew up in Kansas. I know people there aren’t always the most… accepting? I mean, my parents are from New York and they couldn’t even bring themselves to pretend to be okay with it. I didn’t wanna lose the only friend I had.”

Clark is quiet for a long time. Jimmy still can’t bring himself to look over at him. He doesn’t wanna see what his best friend’s face looks like after he’s put all of that into words. Of course, he knows that Clark is a great guy now, and he should have told him earlier. He should have trusted him. But every time he thought about saying something, his parents’ words would just echo in his ears again and he’d chicken out. It was easy to make excuses about the fact that he wasn’t seeing anybody anyway, so there was no reason for Clark to know.

“Thank you for telling me,” Clark says eventually, and it’s Jimmy’s turn to be confused, turning his head to stare at him. “That sounds like it was really hard. I can’t imagine how hard it would have been for me to tell you or Lois about the fact that I was an alien if my own parents had rejected me like that. So thank you for trusting me enough to tell me anyway.”

There’s a beat of silence between the two of them, and then Jimmy sort of whines, “Claaark.” He slides out of his spot on the couch and onto his knees on the floor, and he squeezes Clark in a tight hug, face buried in his friend’s shoulder. Clark hugs him back, and he always hugs like he’s trying not to crush whoever he’s holding. Well, Jimmy guesses that’s probably true.

“Do I need to work on my wingman skills?”

Not to judge anyone on their actions, but I kind of wish Mile hadn't made that post in Twitter. It made me way more uncomfortable than anything happened related to the leaked video.

1st of all, 95% of the FD were just irked that the video was taken without his knowledge or consent and did their best to suppress it from spreading. IMO, the best strategy would've been to let it all die out. Fizzle out. Anyway once the new episode was out, everyone will be busy talking about that and this video thing will be water under the bridge.

But may be he was forced by his company , Beyond Clouds or I don't know what happened, but since he made that post now every single person even remotely invested or interested in the show will definitely see the video because the post will make them curious as to what the heck happened. Which means more limelight to a situation which is already utterly messy. A few handful people were probably making negative comments in ig, but I know it for a fact that majority of the fandom was already extremely supportive towards the situation and respected his privacy . This is just unnecessary clutter.

Also, just think about it. Every single cast member commented or retweeted the post yo show their support. But as they do so, this post becomes visible in their timelines too and then all their followers see the post , get curious, see the video, more gross violation of privacy. Urrgghh. Even Jeff's company quote tweeted it. Now the only thing remains for it to be published in Thai daily news headline !

This is so much unwanted and messy attention to the show I can't even begin to tell. For once, I wish the show would've a peaceful run. Is that too much to ask ??

680.

Do you or have you ever owned a cup with your name on it? >> Actually, I have two. One time there was this dude in Meijer who was doing a promotion for Guinness, and the promo was apparently... giving out custom-engraved pint glasses???? You told him your name and he had this machine that put it on the glass for you. It was weird, especially since it was free... The font that your name is in is a bit wack, though. The other thing I have is a wine glass painted with a nighttime-y scene with skeletal trees and ravens on it. It has my name painted on the stand part, along with the date of my wedding. Sparrow has one too, with her name on it. I’m not even sure where they came from, tbh, but they’re pretty.

What’s the most expensive crafts tool that you own? >> I don’t think I own any expensive crafts tools. The only things I have are, like, pencils, a sketchbook, knitting needles, and yarn.

Have you ever woven baskets of any kind (wicker, paper, cardboard etc.)? >> Maybe as a child.

How do you like Great Balls of Fire by Jerry Lee Lewis? >> It’s all right.

Speaking of Jerry Lee Lewis, have you seen the biopic about him? >> I don’t think so.

How about the biopic about Tina Turner? >> Yeah, I saw that one.

Do you like the TV-show Frasier? >> I do, it’s actually funnier to me now than when I was younger. Back then I thought it was boring but it kills me now.

What’s something you know by heart? >> A lot of song lyrics? Also, the Litany Against Fear.

What is something you’re greedy about? >> I don’t think I’m particularly greedy about anything.

How valuable does a coin have to be for you to bother to pick it up? >> I’d pick up a quarter, maybe. I’m just no longer in the financial position where picking up coins substantially enhances my available funds.

What would be something you would wait in line to get for free? >> It depends on how long the line is, what kind of mood I’m in, and where I am... not just on what the item is. If I’m in a good mood and the line seems manageable, I’d wait in it even if the item is just some random trinket that I have no real use for. If I’m not in a good mood and the line is insane, I wouldn’t wait in it even if it was for an expensive thing I’ve been wanting for ages.

Has there ever been a leak anywhere in your house? >> No.

Have you ever slipped in the shower? >> Not to the point of falling.

Have you ever made any decorative crafts? If so, are they displayed? >> Not in recent memory.

Is it very humid where you are right now? >> Nah.

What is the most suggestive thing someone has said to you? >> *shrug*

Do you have friends who you playfully flirt with? >> No.

Doesn’t the Z in the Bzoink logo look like an L to you, too? >> I mean, not really, but I see where you’re coming from.

Did you ever take that 5000 question survey that was circulating Tumblr? >> Yeah, I took it a long time ago. Once the novelty wore off, I realised that most of the questions were just terrible IMO, which is bound to happen once you endeavour to write a survey with quite that many questions.

Have you ever had to change a zipper in your favourite article of clothing? >> No.

Do you prefer buttons or zippers in general? >> Zippers.

Did you grandma have a box full of pretty buttons? >> ---

What’s the most exotic spice in your spice rack? >> Hmm... garam masala, maybe? We have a wide variety.

Do buttons tempt you to press them? >> Not usually, but sometimes.

Do you have a favourite television host? >> No.

What’s your opinion on celebrity chefs? >> I think some of them are cool and fun to watch. Alton Brown is probably my fave.

Back when it first started, did you watch ANTM? >> I think I’ve seen a season or two. I knew someone who got on it, too (Isis King).

Did you know, that there was even a Finnish version of ANTM? Miss Jay made an appearance in the first season, too. >> No, I didn’t know that, but it makes sense. There are a bunch of those shows modeled after American Idol, too, for different countries.

Are you accident prone? >> No.

Have you ever broken something really valuable? >> I accidentally broke a laptop screen once, and that was pretty damn valuable to me.

What do you see as timeless? >> ---

What is something that you own, that has sentimental value? >> Most of these plushies.

Have you ever had your own website? >> Yeah, I’ve taken stabs at it.

What’s your favourite board game? >> ---

How about your favourite card game? >> ---

What’s something that you finished recently? >> I finished watching Sparrow play through Death Stranding, lol. I’m glad it was her and not me, because I’m pretty sure that game would have made me ragequit within the first few hours, and that would have been a shame.

What’s the smallest town you recall visiting? >> I have no idea.

What’s the longest distance you’ve had to go to work or school? >> ---

Would you learn a new language, if you didn’t share one with your lover? >> Oh, like in Love Actually? I mean, I can’t imagine myself in that situation, but I thought it was cute.

Do you have friends who are constantly tagging you in challenges on FB? >> No. People who have me on facebook should know I prefer to do my actual fun socialising on here or Discord.

When it comes to chocolate, do you prefer nougat, jelly or caramel filling? >> ---

Are you more concerned about winning than just participating? >> No.

Has somebody you know taken their own life? >> No.

What is a number that has some significance to you? Why is that? >> 9. Well, there’s a lot of synchronicity.

Do you prefer onions, leeks or chives? >> I don’t think I have a preference, I’ll take all three. Onions may be the most versatile, though, so maybe those.

What’s the most adult thing you have to do every day? >> I don’t think I have to do any adult thing every day. Maybe feeding myself is an adult thing? Although teenagers and even kids do that too.

What’s the most immature thing you like to do every day? >> ---

Have you seen the movie, Clue? If so, isn’t it fab? >> No, but I’ve seen some funny gifsets that make me think it’d probably be a good time. I might give it a shot if I run into it on a streaming service one day.

Do your cheeks get flushed easily? Do you blush easily in general? >> No, I’ve never felt that feeling.

Are there any social cues you miss entirely? >> Oh, definitely.

When someone doesn’t smile back at you, what’s your first thought? >> They probably didn’t want to, and that’s okay. I don’t always want to smile at everyone who smiles at me, either, and it shouldn’t be a mark against my character just because I don’t smile at a stranger. But, you know, whatever. Any stranger that takes that much offense at me not smiling at them probably wouldn’t get along with me for very long anyway, so it’s a useful social litmus test in the end.

Is there a person who melts your heart just by looking at you? >> No. Well, maybe Can Calah sometimes.

Have you ever had tom kha kai? It’s a Thai coconut soup, and it’s amazing. We serve it at work. >> No, but I’d definitely try it.

Have you, or anyone you know ever been rude to a server? >> I’ve never had the experience of having to watch someone I’m with be rude to a server and I am so glad for that.

What’s something you’re opinionated and very vocal about? When’s the last time you had to verbally defend your stance? >> I don’t know. I don’t really defend any stance of mine, I just put it out there sometimes if I feel like rambling about it and then leave it alone. Arguing with people about shit that ultimately really don’t matter is a waste of my valuable energy.

Have you ever played BitLife? I sort of got hooked on it, it’s like sims but in text form. >> No. I quite like the graphical form of The Sims, so I’ll stick to that.

What’s something you regularly order online? >> CBD.

When’s the last time you made a penpal? >> I’ve never had one.

Do you often make friends online? >> I make a lot of acquaintances online. Friends are far fewer.

Do people ever try to get something from somebody through you? As in, they ask you to ask the person they should be asking in the first place. If that makes sense. >> No. Which is good, because I wouldn’t do it.

What do you think when you see a couple holding hands? >> Nothing???

Is there anything you’re forced to share with someone else? >> No.

What’s something stripy that you own? >> I have a black-and-royal-blue striped robe with the Ravenclaw logo on the back.

How about something polka dotted? >> Nothing.

What is something you find absolutely appalling? >> Some people’s utterly disrespectful behaviour on this website.

Do you like elevators? >> I mean, they’re fine. I don’t dislike them.

What’s the first thing that comes to mind when I say “midnight madness”? >> Like... premieres? Or book releases? Or something like that. I have a vague association but I can’t remember exactly where it comes from.

What is a country you would never want to visit? >> ---

When you’re angry, does it ever get physical? >> Well, yeah, but not necessarily towards someone else.

What do you do, when you’re immensely happy? >> It depends on how I feel like expressing it at the time? Sometimes I don’t express it much at all, and sometimes I literally jump around the room.

What made you scream out loud the last time you screamed? >> ---

Can you hear your neighbours through the wall? >> Sometimes.

What is something that frustrates you to no end? >> Noise.

Do you wear shoes indoors? >> Absolutely not.

Who is your favourite stand-up comedian? >> Bo Burnham, Dylan Moran, and in general I’m fond of how Tiffany Haddish presents as a person and performer.

What’s the weirdest video youtube has suggested to you? >> It doesn’t usually suggest me anything weird.

What’s the funniest infomercial you’ve seen? >> ---

Is there a drink that just goes right through you? >> I don’t feel that way about any drink, no.

Is there a food item you can’t eat because it doesn’t agree with you? >> Not that I’ve encountered.

Do you playfully compete with someone about something? >> No.

Would you rather swim or run? >> I can’t swim, so my options are a little limited here.

Do you like the smell of tar? >> Sometimes, yeah.

Have you ever been to a sauna? >> No. I couldn’t last two minutes in a sauna.

Does your doorbell ring unexpectedly often? >> Not often, but sometimes people will ring multiple apartments trying to get into the building, which is fucking irritating.

Is your favourite fictional character a human, an animal or something else? >> I am my favourite fictional character. /facetious

Have you ever helped a stranger? If so, what did you do? >> I mean, sure. Just simple stuff, like picking up something they’ve dropped or letting them know they’ve left their key in the apartment door or dropping their mail off when it gets mistakenly put into my box.

Do you share hobbies with any of your friends? What do you do together? >> ---

Do you have any flags on display? If so, what flag(s)? >> I don’t. Sparrow has a rainbow flag with a peace sign in the middle on her wall.

Slam Dance//The Sand Princess

It's my first time watching Thai drama. The video of Sand Princess popped up on my youtube home, I saw Baifern, got curious, and watched it. I watched it until episode 6 or 7 but got tired with the story. Actually it's good, I'm just not into Ki... :") he's really kind but boring. I like Ji more. He's jerk... I didn't like him at first. I only thought Kot and Ji would be a cute couple, that's why I shipped them. Athough I wanted them be together, in my opinion, Ji was really disgusting. I thought he wouldn't go that far and realized Kot liked him faster than he did in the drama. Now he's like a hero to Kot, from zero to hero. His character changes a lot and I am deeply support Ji and Kot together even if it won't happen. March (Ji's real name) listed at the third of the main character, while Ki listed at the second. That's conclude Ji is the second male lead. Seriously, I hate liking second male lead. It decreases my mood to watch the drama...

At the end, I tried searching another Thai drama which casted Baifern and March, Slam Dance!

It's a good drama despite its BL and Mai's attitude. I thought Mai was innocent Unpredictably, she's brave to do something like that with Ryu. I'm a bit disappointed with Ryu too. How come he did that? But yeah, people aren't perfect. That's what I learned in this drama.

I'm always waiting for Fang and Singh moments. Their relationship is as sweet as candy! No kissing, no hugging, no sex. Seems like seeing each other is enough to make them become the happiest couple of the world. It makes me think Singh treasures Fang a lot and it's really sweet of him. He has a good manner. Singh is also a cool headed person, at least cooler than Fang. He gives meaningful advices to her.

One of the sweetest moment is Singh keeps his stolen tie (tie that Fang tied to him as a thanks for lent her a pen). Fang also keeps his pen. Sadly, they can only meet secretly. Singh or Fang will wait for a bus that take to one major of them. They had no time in romance cause of Wrestling iron rule -no romance- that made Singh had to be careful when meeting her. They are not in the same major too and had to deal with the competition between their majors. Things got complicated between them but the destiny brought them together as a dancer couple.

Namfon and Jele were really rude at first but I'm on their side now hahaha. Woon, Ken, and Graph are super annoying. All of them were kind at first but they have changed. I learned that people can change whether it is good or bad. People who full of hatred inside can win in any competition but they played dirty. Karma will teach them someday like Namfon slapped Woon in the face:") idk why but Graph didn't get any insult, maybe because he leaked the secret between Woon and Ken.

The story is good but I'm a bit disappointed. I don't expect that the story will end this fast. I want to watch Singh confession so bad... I want to watch all of them graduated. I want to watch Woon get what she deserves. I hope there will be season 2.

I'm also waiting for the next Baifern and March project!

5/9/22 - Found My Lost Keys and Birthday Canyon

I woke up determined to find me keys that had been lost for a week at this point. I also was in charge of picking up the permit for Pine Creek. Zak, Mollie, and had planned on taking Sophie down Pine Creek to celebrate Sophie’s birthday. We agreed that we’d meet at 1 PM to run the canyon in the afternoon. I hopped on Sophie’s bike (my bike is STILL in the shop - it’s been like 4 weeks) and rode first to the post office, which was the last place that I remembered having my keys on Tuesday, May 3, almost an entire week prior. I got to the post office and asked the post ladies if there were any keys returned recently. I heard one post lady say to the other, “were there any keys returned on Saturday?” I said, “I’m sorry ma’am, but I lost my keys last Tuesday.” She looked at me as though I was crazy, as if to say, “dude, you’ve been missing your keys for a whole week?!?!” The post ladies asked me for my P.O. box number, and I told them. They came around the corner holding my keys! I was so relieved that my keys were found! I thanked them a bunch, told them how much I appreciated them both, and wished them a happy rest of their days. I took a (staged) photo of my lost keys dangling from my P.O. box, and shared it with all my friends that knew that they’d been missing.

From there, I rode Sophie’s bike into the national park, and went straight to the wilderness desk. I got us the Pine Creek permit, for five people (the four of us, and one extra just in case someone else wanted to join). I rode back to my house, feeling accomplished from the double successful missions.

I talked with Kate Hunter about the possibility of getting together either in Zion or in Logan. I cooked some REALLY delicious tofu pad thai for lunch. 

1 PM rolled around, and nobody was home. Sophie didn’t show up until 3 PM ish. Mollie rolled in around 4:30 PM and told us she wasn’t coming. I was pretty pissed at her. We’d been waiting around all afternoon, waiting for Mollie to show up, and when she finally showed up, she bailed? That was pretty sucky. 

So, around 4:30 PM, we started getting ready for the canyon. Zak drove his car and I drove mine. We grabbed drysuits from ZAC on the way to Zion. We dropped Zak’s car at the exit for Pine Creek, he hopped in my car, and I drove us all to the entrance to Pine Creek. We quickly grabbed our gear and started hiking towards the tunnel. As we approached the tunnel, we were harassed by an old park ranger, a traffic park ranger woman who requested that we show her our permit. She didn’t really have any business asking to see our permit, but I opened up my pack, took everything out of my pack that I’d just packed, pulled out my drybag, which was at the very bottom of my pack. I opened up the drybag, took out the second drybag from inside that outer drybag (I double bagged the permit), opened that inner drybag, took the fleece and headlamp and clothes out of that drybag, and finally pulled out the permit. She glanced at the permit for about two seconds, and said she was content. It took me like 4 minutes to get that permit out of my pack. I was a little annoyed.

Finally, we were able to start our canyon. The canyon went really well. I took some photos and videos of Sophie. When we got to the Cathedral Room, I rappelled first, Zak rappelled second, and as Sophie started to rappel, Zak and I sang her “Happy Birthday.” The song rang out and reverberated throughout the canyon. Sophie really appreciated it. I think it was a really special moment that the three of us shared. After the Cathedral Room, we had a couple long swims, and both Sophie’s and my drysuits were leaking. I lowered Sophie down the final rappel because her hands were really cold. After we finished the canyon, we started the exit hike back to the car. It took us about an hour to get back to the car. Right as we arrived at the swimming hole (only five minutes hike from where the car was parked), it started to get really dark. We timed everything perfectly! We were back at the car right at 9 PM when it was getting to dark to see without headlamps. We stripped out of our wet clothes, wet neoprene socks, and hopped in Zak’s car.

As we drove East back through the tunnel towards where my car was parked, Zak blasted “Sedona” by Houndmouth through his car speakers, and we had the windows rolled all the way down, and we stuck our heads out the windows and screamed and shouted and whooped and hooted and hollered all through the tunnel. When we got to my car, we transferred people and gear, and we caravanned to ZAC. We cleaned up gear and headed home. 

I’m grateful to the post ladies for finding my keys and returning them to me. I’m grateful for Kate Hunter and for the opportunity to talk with her and catch up with her about life and relationships. I’m grateful for Zak and Sophie and our special experience in Pine Creek, celebrating Sophie’s birthday. I'm grateful for speeding through the tunnel at 9 PM, blasting "Sedona" by Houndmouth with the windows all the way down and the sunroof open, screaming and whooping and howling at the top of our lungs.

Rainbow Six Siege Leaked Footage Shows New Splinter Cell Operator, Skyscraper Rework, and More

June 21, 2020 7:54 PM EST

Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege has gotten a substantial leak that reveals tons of details about its Year 5 Season 3, including a brand new Operator.

The Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege upcoming Year 5 Season 3 update has gotten an extensive leak that reveals more about its content, including its possible crossover with the stealth series Splinter Cell. The leak comes from Reddit user Zer0Bytes, who showed off both a screenshot as well as a video debuting the brand new Operator codenamed Scout.

The footage confirmed an intelligence-focused role that can deploy up to four cameras, each capable of shooting enemies with a five-damage burst. While similar to Maestro’s Evil Eyes, the cameras ditch bulletproof casing for a more flexible point-and-shoot design. Splinter Cell fans may also notice some smaller details, from his hip-mounted night vision goggles, and the iconic karambit over the standard-issue knife:

According to Windows Central, Rainbow Six Siege Year 5 Season 3 marks the title’s first update featuring just one new Operator, as Ubisoft decides to shift focus toward developing core gameplay features instead. The previously unveiled Year 5 roadmap gives the upcoming recruit a mysterious “Classified” identifier, with has sparked rumors of a tie-in with the stealth series.

The leaked footage also shows off the Thai Operator, scheduled for holiday of this year with the Year 5 Season 4 update. Aruni’s primary gadget is the Surya Gate, which is deployable on doors, windows, and walls, emitting a laser-based barricade. She also uses a prosthetic arm, providing the basis for her secondary ability: punching larger holes in soft walls.

Reddit user Zer0Bytes also dropped some Rainbow Six Siege Skyscraper rework gameplay, currently scheduled for Year 5 Season 3. While it’s a work in progress, the new floorplan focuses on alleviating chokepoints like Drum Room and opening corridors between sites. Ubisoft also seems to have removed several exterior windows, while bringing balconies inside the building.

The idea of Rainbow Six Siege getting a new Operator from another series was first brought up in a DualShockers interview with the game designer Jean-Baptiste Halle in regards to the recent Operation Steel Wave update.

Bằng tư duy đi trước thời đại cùng một tầm nhìn chiến lược sắc bén, chàng West nhẵn mặt với scandal ngày nào giờ đã trở thành một gã tỉ phú, sẵn sàng dùng tên tuổi và bản lĩnh của mình để tạo dựng những chiến tích vĩ đại từ sân khấu cho đến sàn diễn. Nhân ngày sinh nhật (8/6), hãy cùng Sneaker Daily nhìn lại cuộc đời và sự nghiệp của Mr.Ye! Kanye West, tên thật là Kanye Omari West, sinh ngày 8/6/1977, từ lâu đã được biết đến với rất nhiều vai trò, bao gồm nhà sản xuất âm nhạc, cho đến rapper và gần đây nhất là nhà thiết kế thời trang.

Nước cờ thay đổi rap game

West bắt đầu dấn thân vào con đường âm nhạc vào năm 1996 với vai trò sản xuất âm nhạc. Tuy nhiên, trải qua nhiều năm hợp tác với những Grav, Jermaine Dupri, Foxy Brown, Goodie Mob và nhóm Harlem World, anh lại không thu về được thành công xứng đáng với công sức đã bỏ ra.

Kanye West thời trẻ Mãi đến khi bước sang thập niên 2000, cuộc gặp gỡ giữa Jay Z và chuỗi hợp tác cùng Roc-A-Fella Records, hãng thu âm dưới tên của Jay Z, đã giúp sự nghiệp của Kanye West bắt đầu trở nên bức phá. Với sự trợ giúp trong khâu sản xuất âm nhạc của West, album phòng thu thứ 6 của Jay Z mang tên The Blueprint trở nên cực kì thành công và được đánh giá là một trong những album nhạc rap hay nhất từng được làm ra.

Kanye West và Jay Z Có lẽ mọi chuyện sẽ trở nên yên ổn, West sẽ tiếp tục làm nhạc cho những rapper tên tuổi lúc bấy giờ như Ludacris, Raekwon,… hay chính xác hơn anh sẽ trụ lại dưới vai trò một nhà sản xuất âm nhạc không hơn không kém ít nhất là đến vài năm nữa nếu không có biến cố xảy ra vào ngày 23/10/2002. Lúc đó, khi đang trên đường từ phòng thu về nhà riêng, chiếc xe của West đã va chạm và dẫn đến tai nạn nghiêm trọng với một chiếc xe khác. Mặc dù anh đã may mắn thoát chết và chỉ bị vỡ xương quai hàm thế nhưng, vụ tai nạn ấy đã làm ảnh thay đổi cách suy nghĩ về mọi thứ. Bộ óc sáng tạo đằng sau những điệu beat cùng những bản hit với đủ thể loại giờ đây đã không còn muốn yên vị tại phòng thu nữa.https://www.youtube.com/embed/uvb-1wjAtk4

Sự thành công của single Through the Wire đã mở đường cho album đầu tay The College Dropout của Kanye West Không chần chừ quá lâu, single đầu tay Through the Wire được Kanye West thu âm và tung ra ngay sau khi anh vừa bình phục sức khỏe. Theo đó, ca khúc tiêu đề đã đạt được thứ hạng khá cao trong bảng xếp hạng Billboard Hot 100 lúc bấy giờ đồng thời mang về cho West một đề cử Grammy trong lễ trao giải vào năm 2004.

Kanye tại lễ trao giải Grammy 2005 Sự thành công của Through the Wire đã tạo động lực cho West hoàn thành nốt album phòng thu đầu tay của mình mang tên The College Dropout. Đây được xem là một trong những album mở màn đáng nhớ nhất lịch sử âm nhạc khi nó mang về cho West một chiếc “kèn vàng” Grammy cho hạng mục Best Hip-Hop Album tại Grammy 2005 đồng thời lọt top những album hay nhất thập niên 2000.

Tai tiếng và sự khải huyền

Thành công là vậy nhưng mỗi khi nhắc đến cái tên Kanye West lúc bấy giờ, công chúng thường lại thở dài một cách ngao ngán. Sau khi ra mắt album đầu tay, tên tuổi của Kanye West bắt đầu xuất hiện khắp các trang truyền thông cùng các ấn phẩm giải trí. Anh thành lập phòng thu riêng cho mình mang tên GOOD Music đồng thời cho ra mắt liên tục 3 album trong vòng 4 năm lần lượt là Late Registration, Graduation và 808s & Heartbreak. Cả 3 album dều được đánh giá rất cao tại thời điểm chúng ra mắt và luôn nằm trong top những đĩa nhạc hay nhất thập niên, đồng thời studio của anh cũng không ngừng cho ra đời những bản hit khi hợp tác cùng một số tên tuổi nổi tiếng như Brandy, Common, John Legend,…

4 album của Kanye West trong thập niên 2000 đều được đánh giá rất cao Tuy nhiên, tất cả những thành công kể trên đều bị lu mờ bởi bản tính ngông cuồng cùng những tai tiếng đầy muối mặt mà nam rapper này đã dính phải trong những năm ấy. Điển hình có thể kể đến là việc tự ý bỏ về trong lễ trao giải AMAs 2004 sau khỉ vụt mất giải thưởng Best New Artist về tay của Gretchen Wilson, cho đến những phát ngôn đã kích tổng thống Mĩ đương thời George Bush vào năm 2005 cùng loạt tranh cãi về đức tin xoay quanh hình ảnh chiếc vương miện gai được West đội trên đầu trong trang bìa tạp chí Rolling Stone vào năm 2006.

Ảnh bìa tạp chí Rolling Stone gây tranh cãi của West Đỉnh điểm cho sự quay lưng của công chúng đối với chàn rapper lắm tài nhiều tật này có lẽ là vụ “giật micro” của nữ ca sĩ Taylor Swift trong lễ trao giải MTV VMAs 2009. Kanye West lúc đó đã không ngần ngại bước lên sân khấu và phát biểu rằng Beyoncé cùng MV Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It) của cô mới là cái tên xứng đáng cho hạng mục mà Taylor Swift đã chiến thắng.

New leaked video clip of the entire four-year-old phone call between the rapper and pop superstar about his controversial song "Famous" have been posted online and further complicate the picture of what happened.(AP Photo/Jason DeCrow, File) Sau vụ việc đầy tranh cãi ấy, Kanye mặc nhiên trở thành một kẻ tội đồ hứng chịu cơn mưa chỉ trích từ dư luận khắp thế giới. Anh hủy bỏ show diễn Fame Kills cùng Lady Gaga và đến Hawaii để lánh mặt với báo giới. Tại đây, anh bắt đầu quăng mình vào thời trang và thu âm không ngừng nghỉ đồng thời liên hệ với những nghệ sĩ thân thiết và ngưỡng mộ anh để tạo nên một ekip đầy hùng hậu, sẵn sàng tạo nên một album phòng thu có chất lượng đủ để khiến công chúng quên đi những ấn tượng xấu đối với công chúng trong thế giới.

Artwork chính thức của album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy Thật vậy, sau gần một năm bỏ công sức cũng như thực hiện một loạt chiến dịch ra mắt single và phim ngắn, tháng 11/2010, album phòng thu thứ năm của Kanye West được ra mắt với tựa đề My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. Đây là album hội tụ đủ mọi tinh hoa trong sự nghiệp âm nhạc từ trước đến nay của West với đầy đủ những cung bậc cảm xúc được lột tả trần trụi bằng những loại nhạc cụ tưởng chừng không thể xuất hiện trong một sản phẩm nhạc rap. https://www.youtube.com/embed/6t0nipO6Rcw Cả album là quá trình mô tả một gã ngông cuồng đang cố gắng thoát khỏi con quỷ đen tối đang đeo bám trong tâm hồn đồng thời hi vọng níu giữ lại một chút bản ngã đẹp đẽ của gã nghệ sĩ đa tài với tầm nhìn đi trước thời đại. Mặc dù bị “ngó lơ” tại hạng mục Album của năm trong lễ trao giải Grammy lần thứ 54 thế nhưng, toàn bộ các chuyên trang đánh giá âm nhạc lúc bấy giờ đều ngã mũ tán dương cho sản phẩm âm nhạc lần này của West. Cuối năm 2019 vừa qua, chuyên trang phân tích âm nhạc Genius đã bình chọn My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy là album hay nhất của thập niên 2010, vượt qua những cái tên sừng sỏ khác như Frank Ocean, Beyoncé, Kendrick Lamar,…

Yeezus và Đế chế Yeezy

Khi sức nóng của My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy vẫn chưa có dấu hiệu hạ nhiệt, Kanye West tiếp tục quăng mình vào phòng thu trong album hợp tác với Jay Z mang tên Watch The Throne. Trong album ấy, Kanye và Jay Z hiện lên như hai ông hoàng đầy quyền lực của làng hip hop, sẵn sàng phá vỡ những quy luật trong làng giải trí bằng tên tuổi và sức ảnh hưởng của cả hai.

Kanye và Jay Z, hai người đàn ông quyền lực nhất giới hip hop Tuy nhiên, Kanye West lúc này dường như vẫn chưa cảm thấy thỏa mãn. Anh tiếp tục chứng tỏ “cái tôi” nghệ thuật của mình thông qua album kế tiếp bên cạnh chuyến lưu diễn cùng tên Yeezus. Với cách chơi chữ đầy ấn tượng, West đã đặt bản thân mình vào vị trí của “Chúa”, rằng anh chính là người đang đứng trên đỉnh của làng giải trí.

Bên cạnh việc kết hôn với Kim Kardashian vào tháng 10 sau khi hai người tuyên bố đã có có con với nhau vào tháng 6. Đến tháng 12 cùng năm, sự quyền lực của Kanye West lúc bấy giờ càng được khẳng định với việc anh bắt đầu lấn sân sang mảng thời trang. Anh chính thức chuyển sang hợp tác cùng adidas để tiếp tục dự án giày sneaker Yeezy đầy tham vọng sau một vài mẫu collab Yeezy cực kỳ thành công trước đó cùng Nike mà đến giờ giá trị thị trường của chúng vẫn cực kỳ hyped.

Đám cưới của Kim và West Sau một thời gian thiết kế và sản xuất, tháng 1 năm 2015, Yeezy Season 1 chính thức được ra mắt và nhận được những phản hồi tích cực từ giới thời trang. Với ý tưởng và concept đầy tham vọng, West tự tin khẳng định sẽ đưa mẫu giày được xem là “exclusive” ngày nào đến chân mọi tín đồ thời trang trên toàn thế giới. https://www.youtube.com/embed/4QX1Y1eVp7Q

Kanye trong buổi họp báo Yeezy Season 1 Trải qua một vài năm thành lập, thương hiệu giày Yeezy của Kanye West ngày càng có chỗ đứng trong thế giới thời trang. Sự thành công nhanh chóng ấy có thể đến từ sức hút tên tuổi của cặp vợ chồng West-Kim, các chiến dịch truyền thông quy mô cũng như nền tảng kiến thức thời trang vốn đã được chứng tỏ từ lâu của Kanye West.

Khi tỉ phú hoàn lương

Mặc dù đã tìm được lối thoát cho những tai tiếng trong quá khứ cũng như đã có cho mình những thành công nhất định trong lịch vực thời trang, thế nhưng phong cách âm nhạc của Kanye West vẫn rất chỉn chu và luôn mang màu sắc khác biệt so với phần còn lại. Album The Life of Pablo và mini album “ye” phần nào đã chứng tỏ được một chàng West khác biệt hơn, trưởng thành hơn, có cho mình những sai lầm để nuối tiếc đồng thời có cho mình một gia đình để hi vọng.

Thời điểm 2016, 2017 đánh dấu một Kanye West trưởng thành và chín chắn hơn Kể từ khi có gia đình, anh luôn cố gắng là một ông chồng, một người cha mẫu mực trong mắt vợ con, không ngần ngại lên tiếng bảo vệ Kim Kardashian những lúc cô ấy bị dè bỉu vì những tai tiếng trong quá khứ. Hai con người với đầy những tai tiếng trong quá khứ giờ đây như thể là những mảnh ghép tuyệt vời dành cho nhau và Kanye trân trọng điều đó. Cuối năm 2019, khi album mang tên Jesus Is King được ra mắt và không nhận được nhiều phản hồi tích cực, người ta đã bắt đầu nghĩ về việc Kanye West sẽ chấm dứt sự nghiệp ca hát của mình sau album lần này. Tuy nhiên, điều đó cũng không còn quan trọng bởi ngay sau đó, tạp chí Forbes đã công bố West chính thức trở thành tỉ phú với khối tài sản vượt mốc một tỉ đô nhờ vào 100% lợi nhuận từ thương hiệu Yeezy của anh.

Kanye West chính thức gia nhập hàng ngũ tỉ phú đồng thời trở thành người thứ hai làm được điều này với tư cách rapper, bên cạnh Jay Z Có thể thấy, Kanye West không chỉ đơn giản là một gã nghệ sĩ đa tài với tầm nhìn sáng tạo vượt thời gian nữa. Anh còn biết sử dụng tiền bạc, tên tuổi và quyền lực của mình để can thiệp và góp tiếng nói cho những vấn đề xã hội. Ngoài việc thường xuyên phát biểu và đưa ra những quan điểm về chính trị, mới đây nhất, West đã trích ra 2 triệu Đô la để ủng hộ cho con gái George Floyd, nạn nhân trong vụ án dẫn đến cuộc bạo loạn đang diễn ra gần đây tại nước Mĩ. Giờ đây, Kanye West không khác gì một gã nghệ sĩ mang dáng vẻ của một tay tài phiệt trong giới giải trí, có tên tuổi, có tiền bạc, có những tai tiếng và quan trọng hơn cả là có một bộ óc sáng tạo cùng tư duy và tầm nhìn nghệ thuật luôn đi trước thời đại.

Elon Musk Can’t Lose

Alex Spiro was on a roll. The 6-foot-something attorney stood imposingly at the lectern in the Los Angeles federal court with the confidence of a guy compelled to remind people he lettered in high school varsity basketball for four years and almost walked onto his college team. His demeanor was casual — he dropped a few “dudes” that belied his Harvard law degree — but forceful. His only obvious weakness seemed to be the brace on his right foot, the result of an injury sustained during a pickup game.

A high-profile trial lawyer who worked for the CIA before assembling a client list that included New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, Mick Jagger, and Jay-Z, Spiro was on the clock for another billionaire defendant on a Friday last December. And having lured the jury in with a fantastical closing argument about his client’s supposed generosity and heroics, Spiro threw in some flattery for the person paying his bills.

“[The plaintiff] can say whatever he wants about Elon Musk,” he said. “No one can bring people together like he can to do the impossible.”

Over the past few decades, Musk promised to land a reusable rocket on a robotic ocean barge, and then he went and did it. He dreamed up a tunnel under Los Angeles to counter the city’s congested highways, and then founded a company to dig it. He’s also mapped out an electric car future and is well on his way toward achieving it. His admirers laud him as the real-life Tony Stark, a once-in-a-generation genius with a force of will that can make the seemingly impossible possible. But as a judge, eight jurors, two sizable legal teams, a dozen reporters, and I learned late last year, Musk’s uncanny ability to transform far-fetched ideas into attainable ones can cut both ways.

We spent a week in the courtroom listening to a legal case as absurd as one of Musk’s wildest moon shots. How did we get there? A quick recap: In July 2018, Musk tweeted that a British cave explorer was a “pedo guy,” faced a wave of criticism, kind of apologized, received a legal threat, doubled down on the accusation, sent a reporter (me) an email suggesting the Brit was a “child rapist,” hired a phony private investigator to prove it, got sued, and, after more than a year of legal wrangling, ended up in court. Never mind that some legal experts thought the case was a clear example of defamation, that his advisers told him to settle, and that he had far better things to do with his time. Musk was going to fight.

In doing so, the billionaire entrepreneur brought the same drive that pushed electric cars into the mainstream to a legal dispute over his own bad behavior. And in typical fashion, Musk defied the odds. He won.

Musk’s legal victory over Vernon Unsworth – a previously unknown Brit who became a legitimate hero while helping rescue a boys soccer team and their coach from a Thailand cave — will rank low on his list of achievements. But in many ways, it is far more revealing of Musk than any of the technological feats that land him in the headlines.

The weeklong trial showcased Musk’s bending of reality, a skill that’s part of his mythology but rarely seen outside his work. It’s something he uses to convince an engineer to perfect a car part for days on end or push a public relations staffer to disappear a bad story, and it’s often rescued him from the brink of failure. In Elon’s world, there is only Elon’s way. “You can always tell when someone’s left an Elon meeting: they’re defeated,” an anonymous SpaceX employee wrote on Quora in 2016. “The reason for this is that Elon’s version of reality is highly skewed.”

“Elon’s version of reality is highly skewed.”

Apple cofounder Steve Jobs was renowned for his “reality distortion field,” an unusual ability to persuade employees and followers that his seemingly impossible visions were worth realizing. Musk has one too; in the case of Unsworth, he used it to convince himself that a critic was a pedophile simply because he happened to be an older white man living in Thailand. Then, when threatened with a defamation lawsuit, Musk and his lawyers built out an alternate reality: one where he played a key role in the cave rescue, where “pedo guy” was a common playground insult, and where he did not attempt to destroy a hero who had criticized him

“Elon has an uncanny ability to tell a story he wants to be true, convince himself that it has to be true, and then convince others,” one former Tesla executive told me after the trial.

That’s exactly what happened in Vernon Unsworth v. Elon Musk. Though a simple online search suggests that Unsworth’s name might be forever linked to pedophilia, Musk won the case by arguing that his “pedo guy” attacks on the caver didn’t explicitly mention his name, and therefore could not constitute defamation. Musk and Spiro declined to comment for this story.

It took the jury less than hour to return a verdict. As reporters rushed back into the courtroom, where phones were banned, I watched from outside, waiting to tweet the decision. Before the judge could strike his gavel, a gaggle of TV producers rushed out of the court’s double doors yelling. Unsworth sat stone-faced, his attorneys slumped in their chairs. Spiro stood with a half-blank stare, almost as if he couldn’t believe he had pulled it off.

Musk rose, nodding.

“Elon Musk is not liable for damages,” I tweeted, watching the billionaire through the glass. “He won.”

Musk speaks at SpaceX headquarters in Hawthorne, California, on Oct. 10, 2019.

On July 13, 2018, Bloomberg Businessweek published an interview with Musk in which he promised to behave better. Remarking on his Twitter account, on which he had attained a new level of bombast in the preceding months, the Tesla CEO admitted he should probably stop engaging with his critics.

“I have made the mistaken assumption — and I will attempt to be better at this — of thinking that because somebody is on Twitter and is attacking me that it is open season,” he said. “That is my mistake. I will correct it.”

It took less than two days for Musk to break that promise. On the morning of the 15th, he awoke early, opened Twitter, and clicked a link to a video interview from CNN. Musk hit play.

“He can stick his submarine where it hurts,” a man named Vernon Unsworth said of Musk. Unsworth, a Brit living in Thailand and an expert on the country’s Tham Luang cave system, was talking about the metal tube Musk had built to rescue members of a Thai boys soccer team who had been trapped in the cave for 18 days. Unsworth was convinced it couldn’t work and was irked at what he viewed as opportunism. “Just a PR stunt,” he said.

Musk watched the 43-second clip again, and again — growing increasingly angry that a man he’d never met had mocked what he viewed as a good faith effort to aid children in mortal danger. He was particularly sensitive to Unsworth’s remarks because he’d faced similar criticism on Twitter already. And he was in a particularly foul mood because his contributions to Republican lawmakers had recently dragged the company into another lousy news cycle. Musk typed Unsworth’s name into Google, followed it with a search for “Chiang Rai” — a locale near the site of the rescue — and reviewed the results. Then he tapped out a thread on Twitter, where he had some 22 million followers at the time.

“Never saw this British expat guy who lives in Thailand (sus) at any point when we were in the caves,” he wrote in a response to one critic, before saying that he would make a video showing his “mini-sub” was fully operational. “Sorry pedo guy, you really did ask for it.”

To understand Musk’s crass and disproportionate response to Unsworth’s quip, you have to go back to that spring — a particularly rough one for the Tesla CEO. The company was in the middle of what Musk had sagaciously predicted would be “production hell,” and things had not been going smoothly. The crushing pressure to ship cars led to reported missteps — substandard factory conditions, high rates of worker injury, wasted materials, executive departures. And those missteps led to investigations by the likes of BuzzFeed News and plenty of unwanted media coverage.

The scrutiny put Musk in a foul mood, according to three people who worked with him at the time, and his increasingly acidic stream of consciousness bled out into real-life interactions. He called an analyst “boneheaded” on an earnings call. He tried to personally destroy an employee who leaked information about the company. And when he wasn’t working he retreated to Twitter, a place where he could “bypass journo bs,” dish on supposed Big Oil conspiracies, and flirt with the idea of a site to rate reporters.

“It started to spiral out of control,” said one person close to Musk as he quadrupled his tweeting that May. That activity, the person said, was compounded by his time in “production hell” where he put in long hours and slept in a factory conference room to meet projections.

Thai officers supervise the rescue mission inside Tham Luang Nang Non cave in Chiang Rai, Thailand, June 28, 2018.

Musk learned about the catastrophe in Thailand through Twitter. On June 23, 12 young soccer players and their coach became trapped in Thailand’s Tham Luang cave system after heavy rains flooded it. Some 12 days later, divers called in by Unsworth, who had spent years exploring the caves and was among the first on the scene, found them alive, trapped in an air pocket.

In court, Musk testified that “dozens of people” on Twitter had asked him to assist in the rescue. He initially turned down the requests, thinking the Thai government had it under control. But on July 6, Musk committed to sending engineers from SpaceX and the Boring Company, his tunneling startup, to Thailand after what he described as “active conversations with the Thai government.”

Following an email exchange with a British diver on-site named Rick Stanton, Musk proposed rescuing the boys in a rigid metallic tube, or mini submarine, large enough to tightly enclose “a 15-year-old boy.” But by the time he tweeted footage of the device being tested in a California swimming pool, the main effort to extract the boys, which involved sedating them and swimming them out, was well underway. Nevertheless, Rick Stanton — a diver on the scene who gave Musk some rough specifications — urged the billionaire to continue development as a just-in-case measure.

Later, after the trial, Stanton would say it wasn’t until he saw photos and video of the tube in action that he thought it had no chance of working. Reviewing footage of a test that happened in a sunny California pool, he noticed issues with buoyancy and air capacity. Compounding these concerns, the testing conditions were not at all comparable to the narrow, murky conditions of the cave.

“I think [Musk] had worrying intentions,” said Stanton, who had been prevented from discussing the tube at length on the stand in December. “Surely, there must have been a point when these engineers decided it was not possible … and he decided to bring it on-site anyway and showboat.”

On July 9, Musk dropped off the mini sub in Thailand. He took a tour of the caves before departing for his hotel and eventually heading to Shanghai for business. Musk never met Unsworth or Stanton. The tube was never tested on-site and was ultimately never used.

But shortly after the last boys were extracted, the tube became a lightning rod for renewed criticism. And Musk didn’t take it well. When Narongsak Osatanakorn, a provincial governor who oversaw part of the rescue, said the tube didn’t really fit with the mission, Musk dismissed Osatanakorn, tweeting that he wasn’t a true rescue expert. (Musk’s staff later unsuccessfully pressured the Thai Consulate in Los Angeles to lobby Osatanakorn to reverse his statement.)

By the time he watched Unsworth’s CNN interview, Musk had been getting blasted online for the mini sub for five days straight. His tweets about the British caver took that vitriol to another level. “Cave Diver Criticizes Musk’s Kid-Sub Rescue Plan. Musk Suggests He’s A Pedophile,” read one headline from the Los Angeles Times, while Bloomberg News went with “Musk Labels U.K. Diver As Pedophile In Spat Over Thai Rescue.” To hundreds of publications around the world, the target of Musk’s ire and the implication of his comment seemed quite clear.

A few days later, Musk deleted the tweets and issued a half-hearted apology. But the damage was done. His posts had been screenshotted, shared, written up, and seen by millions. He couldn’t take them back.

Vernon Unsworth (center) and his attorneys, Mark Stephens (left) and L. Lin Wood (right), speak to reporters outside the US district courthouse in Los Angeles, Dec. 6, 2019.

In December, as court commenced on a Tuesday in balmy Southern California — 506 days after Musk’s “pedo guy” tweet — the only thing missing in Vernon Unsworth v. Elon Musk was the defendant. Ten floors below the courtroom, photographers and TV reporters had spent the morning jostling for position only to be disappointed when the billionaire failed to show up for opening arguments.

For Musk’s critics, the defamation trial was a barometer: Could a powerful man with virtually unlimited resources be held accountable for his shitty behavior? A little more than a year ago, Musk had been accused of lying about having the necessary funding to take his electric car company private at $420 a share; he had pushed misleading projections about Model 3 deliveries and was being investigated for discouraging workers from unionizing. Around that time, Tesla was also undercounting workers’ injuries at its factories.

Musk walked away from all that with a half-hearted spanking: a $20 million fine (he’s currently worth $34 billion) and an order to relinquish his role as Tesla chair (he remains CEO). In Unsworth’s civil case, former employees who’d been treated unfairly, short sellers who were out for blood, and aspiring Tesla owners still waiting for their car, saw the chance for catharsis. Meanwhile, Silicon Valley wondered how the hell the case had gotten this far. It seemed a senseless waste of time and bandwidth for someone who rarely had either.

Jury selection was a case study in Musk’s influence. Of the 40 or so prospective jurors, about a fifth were dismissed for having some connection to the billionaire. Among those who departed was a man with an upcoming interview at SpaceX. Among those who remained included an owner of two Teslas.

Judge Stephen V. Wilson’s instructions to the three-man, five-woman jury were straightforward. Defamation, among the hardest allegations to prove in a US court, could only be established if Musk’s tweets met five criteria:

1) Whether he said his statements to more than one person other than Unsworth.

2) Whether a reasonable person could understand the tweets were about Unsworth.

3) Whether a reasonable person understood the tweets meant Unsworth was a pedophile.

4) Whether the statements were false.

5) Whether the Tesla CEO failed to use reasonable care when determining the truth or falsity of the statements.

In opening arguments, only the defense seemed to take the judge’s jury instructions to heart. The plaintiff trotted out a junior member of the legal team who gave a dry, matter-of-fact explanation of what had happened and asserted that “pedo guy” was a clear accusation of sexual activity with children. Arguing for the defense, Spiro took a different approach. This was “an argument between two men,” he said, with “insults understood as insults, not literal statements of fact.” He even had a nice acronym for the main offending tweet: JDART, a “joking, deleted, apologized for, responsive tweet.”

After opening arguments, Musk arrived, entering court accompanied by four guards to take the stand. Elevated in the witness box, he spoke with a halting, childish nervousness, crossing and uncrossing his arms and pursing his lips as the plaintiff’s lead attorney, L. Lin Wood, began his questioning.

“Twitter is a free-for-all where there’s all sorts of things that sort of aren’t true, untrue, half-true, uh, where people engage in sort of verbal combat effectively,” Musk said. “Uh, yeah. I mean, there’s everything on Twitter.”

There was a Trumpian quality to Musk’s answers that recalled what his former business partner Peter Thiel said about then-candidate before the 2016 presidential election: Take him “seriously, but not literally.” Musk has used his Twitter seriously, and the company listed the account as a source for information in a 2013 financial filing. He frequently publishes projections for Tesla. But any reasonable sampling of his tweets would also include dumb jokes, memes, and the conversational detritus for which Twitter is known. That stuff is often a convenient foundation for the “I was just joking” defense used by so many people walking back missteps on the modern web. It certainly was for Musk.

“Just as he was using an idiomatic phrase, and I assume he did not literally mean to sodomize me with a submarine, then I also did not literally mean he was a pedophile,” he said. “I just meant he was a creep.”

As Wood — an experienced defamation lawyer who had represented the likes of wrongly accused Atlanta Olympics security guard Richard Jewell and casino magnate Sheldon Adelson — tried to pin responsibility on Musk, the billionaire dodged, his voice soft against the attorney’s aggressive Georgian drawl: Are you one of the most influential people in the world? Not really, the president didn’t take my advice to remain in the Paris climate accords. Do you choose your words carefully for the public? Not everything I say is thoughtful. Do you have a large number of public relations professionals who work for you? I have no PR team personally, and we don’t really have much of a public relations team at Tesla.

The journalists covering the trial looked up quizzically. Some had corresponded with Tesla communications members in recent weeks. In the galley, a staffer, who had fielded press requests for Musk’s tunneling startup and served as his de facto handler for the trial, watched, unblinking.

While BuzzFeed News interviewed former staffers at Tesla and SpaceX for a May 2018 story about Musk’s combative relationship with the press, many people remarked on his thin skin. Some of them recalled being woken up in the middle of the night to respond to a blog post or tweet critical of a Musk company. On the stand, Musk admitted to having a Google alert for his own name to track headlines about himself. Others noted that Musk sometimes tweeted about unfinished features or plans that hadn’t been shared, forcing fire drills to finish or manage them. “He tweets it, therefore it is,” a former staffer told one of my colleagues, while we were reporting the story.

Musk’s claim that “pedo guy” was not an accusation of pedophilia came 13 months after his tweet, and four months before the trial. When he deleted the insult a few hours after posting it on July 15, 2018, he didn’t claim it was a joke or benign. In a tweet a few days later, the Tesla chief only said he had written the words “in anger” and that Unsworth’s criticism did “not justify my actions against him.”

But at his pretrial deposition in August 2019, Musk began claiming that the phrase was from his South African upbringing, a slang term for a “creepy old white guy.” He would continue that argument on the stand, telling Wood he hadn’t explained the meaning of his tweets before August because no one had asked him.

Three people who worked with Musk in July 2018 and spoke with me on the condition of anonymity said they had had never heard the Tesla CEO use that argument prior to his deposition. Online, a number of South Africans also disagreed with the notion that “pedo guy” was slang, while reporters found little evidence that it was a common phrase in the country or anywhere else on the internet. Urban Dictionary’s first entry for “pedo guy” didn’t appear until after Musk’s tweets.

As an argument for Musk’s defense, characterizing “pedo guy” as a playground insult seemed shaky at best, ludicrous at worst. Either way, it was an opportunity for Wood to knock some wind out of the defendant. But he rarely seemed to land a solid punch. At times, he stumbled with his own evidence, misreading emails or demonstrating a poor understanding of the mechanics of Twitter. On more than a few occasions, his argumentative exchanges with Musk resulted in objections from Spiro and reprimands from the judge, who became increasingly hostile to the plaintiff’s attorney as the trial wore on.

“I suggest that you call people you know in Thailand, find out what’s actually going on and stop defending child rapists, you fucking asshole.”

One of Wood’s biggest failures was his inability to speak to Wilson’s directive on whether “a reasonable person” would interpret Musk’s “pedo guy” insult as an accusation of pedophilia. No evidence or witnesses were brought in to dispute the notion that the phrase was common in South Africa or on the internet prior to Musk using it. And while Wood later brought in an academic as an expert witness to testify to how many headlines the phrase had generated around the world, Spiro neutered the evidence in pretrial motions and prevented the witness from talking about their impact. No specific articles showing how news outlets interpreted the tweets were allowed by the judge either.

It seemed to be an oversight, more so given Wood’s decision to pursue Unsworth’s claim on Musk’s tweets, and not on other potentially damning communications that had been offered as supplementary evidence. The plaintiff’s attorneys presented those communications in court, but Wilson advised the jury it could only be used to help assess Musk’s state of mind.

As Wood started to read that evidence — including an email in which Musk suggested Unsworth was a “child rapist” who took a 12-year-old bride — into the record, I felt a few gazes shift in my direction. One of Unsworth’s lawyers turned and gave me a weak smile, which I pretended not to notice as I scribbled notes. Musk had written the emails to me.

“I suggest that you call people you know in Thailand, find out what’s actually going on and stop defending child rapists, you fucking asshole.”

The opening words of Musk’s email to me were so confusing that I checked the sender twice to make sure it was actually from him. It was only the second email he’d ever sent me. I had never met the billionaire nor talked to him on the phone; save for a few trolling interactions on Twitter, I had not interacted with him prior to this email chain.

I reached out Aug. 29, 2018, after Musk had wondered aloud on Twitter why Unsworth hadn’t sued him yet over his “pedo guy” comment. That morning, I had learned an attorney for Unsworth had sent Musk a letter earlier that month suggesting he would take legal action if he didn’t properly apologize, and I sought comment. In an email with the subject “BuzzFeed News: Unsworth legal letter,” I asked about the “British diver” in the second sentence.

“Have you actually done any research at all?” Musk responded. “For example, you incorrectly state that he is a diver, which shows that you know essentially nothing and have not even bothered to research basic facts.”

I brushed off his criticism, which didn’t answer the basics of my inquiry around the letter. I sent him a response noting that Unsworth had done some cave diving in the past and again asked for comment. When he didn’t reply, I tried again the next day. He replied shortly thereafter on Aug. 30 in a diatribe he prefaced with “off the record” — a term we had not previously discussed or agreed to.

Sometimes people think the words “off the record” are a magic command and, once uttered, immediately go into effect to hide what comes after. But in reality, a journalist and their source have to both agree to that condition before it can be established. Musk and I did not.

I suggest that you call people you know in Thailand, find out what’s actually going on and stop defending child rapists, you fucking asshole. He’s an old, single white guy from England who’s been traveling to or living in Thailand for 30 to 40 years, mostly Pattaya Beach, until moving to Chiang Rai for a child bride who was about 12 years old at the time. There’s only one reason people go to Pattaya Beach. It isn’t where you’d go for caves, but it is where you’d go for something else. Chiang Rai is renowned for child sex-trafficking.

He may claim to know how to cave dive, but he wasn’t on the cave dive rescue team and most of the actual dive team refused to hang out with him. I wonder why …

Unsworth also said I was asked to leave by the Thai govt, which is utterly false. Thai Prime Minister thanked me personally per attached docs. I went all the way to area 3 with the Thai SEAL team, who were awesome. Never saw Unsworth at any point. Was told he was banned from the site.

It is also total bs that the mini-sub wouldn’t fit through the caves. It was designed and built to specifications provided to me directly by Stanton and the actual dive team. The only reason it wasn’t used was that they were able to drain almost all the water out of the caves, so the underwater portion was very short, and the monsoon arrived later than expected.

Those pumps were critical. Some of the Tesla team helped with electrical power, but major credit to whoever provided those pumps. They were amazing. I’m told they were from some company in India.

Hi Elon,

I didn’t agree for the conversation to be off the record, but appreciate the response. To follow up, I’ve tried to report out some of these accusations on my own but have not found anything to corroborate the claims. Are you able to share anything that you’ve found about Vernon Unsworth? Do you have any evidence or documentation showing he took a 12-year-old child bride, that he is a child rapist, or that he was kicked off the rescue site, as you stated in your other email? Also are you able to share your correspondence with Rick Stanton showing your discussion of the submarine specs?

With regards to your statement about the legal threat not coming up until you raised the issue on Twitter, the legal letter was dated on Aug. 6 and sent to your Los Angeles home and to one of your SpaceX emails. Did you not see the letter prior to your tweets?

Thank you, Ryan

Get lost, you creep

“I suggest that you call people you know in Thailand, find out what’s actually going on and stop defending child rapists, you fucking asshole,” Musk wrote. “He’s an old, single white guy from England who’s been traveling to or living in Thailand for 30 to 40 years, mostly Pattaya Beach, until moving to Chiang Rai for a child bride who was about 12 years old at the time. There’s only one reason people go to Pattaya Beach. It isn’t where you’d go for caves, but it is where you’d go for something else. Chiang Rai is renowned for child sex-trafficking.”

He included a link to a Google search for “chiang rai child trafficking” and ended his message by suggesting the Aug. 6 letter from Unsworth’s lawyer was a response to his tweet the day before.

“As for this alleged threat of a lawsuit, which magically appeared when I raised the issue (nothing was sent or raised beforehand), I fucking hope he sues me,” he concluded.

I read the emails again and texted my editors: “Holy shit.”

Less than an hour later, he emailed again. This time he topped his message with “on background,” suggesting he thought I could use the material if it wasn’t attributed to him. Again, we had no prior agreement. Attached to the email was a signed letter from the Thai prime minister thanking Musk for the construction of the mini sub.

“Unsworth also said I was asked to leave by the Thai govt, which is utterly false,” Musk wrote. “Thai Prime Minister thanked me personally per attached docs. I went all the way to area 3 with the Thai SEAL team, who were awesome. Never saw Unsworth at any point. Was told he was banned from the site.”

My editors and I discussed Musk’s messages and determined they were fair game to publish. They were newsworthy — showing a powerful billionaire setting out to destroy a man over some offhand criticism. And, without an established agreement between reporter and subject, they were on the record, as Musk, who’s had decades’ worth of press encounters, should have known. More importantly, the billionaire seemed to be alleging Unsworth was a pedophile without a shred of supporting evidence. He was essentially suggesting I investigate his tip.

We spent Labor Day weekend reporting on Musk’s claims. We spoke to rescuers who’d worked with Unsworth, including some who swam some of the boys out of the cave. We interviewed Rick Stanton, the British diver who had corresponded with Musk. We reached out to government officials in the United Kingdom and Thailand and tracked down Unsworth’s social media accounts. Eventually, I tracked down the Facebook page for the business of Unsworth’s partner, Woranan “Tik” Ratrawiphukkun, who confirmed to me that she was Unsworth’s longtime girlfriend. Calling him “Vern,” she said they had dated seven years, something supported by photos of them together on their Facebook and Instagram accounts. She was 40, she said. And when asked about Musk’s tweets, Tik declined to comment, telling me to talk to Unsworth’s lawyers.

By the morning of Sept. 4, we had finished our story. I reached out to Musk to offer him a chance to comment on our reporting.

“We haven’t had a conversation at all,” Musk replied.” “If you want to publish off the record comments and destroy your journalistic credibility, that’s up to you.”

We published our article later that day, despite a Tesla spokesperson’s efforts to kill it. Unsworth officially sued Musk for defamation two weeks later, using Musk’s tweets and his emails to me as the basis of his complaint. Discovery in the case would later surface an email sent to an adviser at the time in which Musk described himself as “a fucking idiot” for messaging a reporter without establishing an off-the-record agreement first.

Still, the fact that he sent the emails, a move so sloppy and risky, never sat right with me, and I never understood where he was coming from. It wasn’t until after months of legal motions and discovery that the shady origins of those accusations became clear.

In July 2018, a man identifying himself as James Howard emailed Musk’s personal assistant claiming to be a private investigator, according to court documents. “You may want to dig deep into Mr. Unsworth[‘s] past to prepare for his defamation claim,” the mysterious sender wrote in a note that was forwarded to Musk’s chief of staff. “No smoke without fire!”

The following month, after Wood had sent Unsworth’s initial legal threat, Musk directed Jared Birchall, the head of his family office, to retain Howard, who had subsequently claimed to have worked for billionaire George Soros and the late Microsoft founder Paul Allen. Birchall hired the man and wired him some $52,000 to begin investigating Unsworth. He made no effort to verify Howard’s credentials or claims, which a BuzzFeed News investigation later found to be false. He wasn’t a PI. He was James Howard-Higgins, a convicted felon who BuzzFeed News later found had spent time in prison for defrauding his business partners.

By mid-August, Howard-Higgins was feeding Birchall dubious information and suggested he had boots on the ground tracking the caver in the UK and Thailand. “Early feedback on the target is there is indeed an unpleasant undertone to some of his lifestyle choices,” Howard-Higgins wrote in an Aug. 17, 2018, email to Birchall. “There is no question that the target ‘associates’ locally with Europeans who enjoy ‘Thai comforts’ that are not acceptable in a developed society.” In court, Wood would also show email exchanges in which Birchall asked the supposed private investigator to leak information to the UK press to sully Unsworth.

On Aug. 27, Birchall emailed Howard-Higgins requesting more explicit information about the British caver. Claiming there were “planned attacks in the media and/or a lawsuit,” he provided a list of 14 specific questions for Howard-Higgins. Among them: inquiries about a possible divorce in the UK, whether Unsworth had met “his wife” in Thailand, and whether his Thai partner was “the 10th teenage girl he met before he decided to settle.” Howard-Higgins replied with a dossier on Unsworth, which, among other things, suggested that he met his wife when she was 18 or 19. This information, according to that document, was still being verified.

But all that information was wrong. Unsworth was not married to his Thai partner, who was much older than what Howard-Higgins had suggested to Birchall. Beyond that, there was no mention of the idea that Unsworth had taken a 12-year-old bride, something Musk would later relay to me.

On the stand, Musk, who never directly communicated with the investigator, said he’d heard that information from Birchall. In his testimony, Birchall only said that he told Musk that Unsworth had met his partner when she was 12, not that they got married then. Regardless, there was never any physical documentation of Howard-Higgins saying that Unsworth had married or even met a 12-year-old.

“Unfortunately, it turns out we were tricked,” Musk said on the stand.

Two former Tesla executives would later tell me that Musk’s hiring of an investigator was a perfect example of his reality-warping intentions. At Tesla, sources said, Musk would often convince himself something was possible — production goals, certain self-driving capabilities, skirting legal measures — and would overrule people whose job it was to manage those tasks. Engineers were hired and fired on the basis of their ability to realize an idea that Musk had predetermined had to be possible.

“He hired the PI because he needed to make it true,” one told me. “In the end, people are just working to justify his ego rather than anything else.”

They also explained Musk’s thought process for emailing me unsubstantiated claims about Unsworth. Musk, the executive said, would sometimes seed information to a third party, like a credulous journalist who might publish it in a story. In turn, he would endorse and share that story with millions of followers, creating a feedback loop of reinforcing opinions.

As the evidence mounted ahead of the trial, Musk refused to give in to what he later termed a “shakedown.” Though he wrangled with a Securities and Exchange Commission probe into his Tesla privatization fiasco, a National Labor Relations Board case on Tesla illegally discouraging workers from organizing, and a NASA safety investigation prompted by him smoking weed during an interview, Musk fought the lawsuit over a 15-month period. During that time, three general counsels and at least three top communications staffers left Tesla. He even fired the first law firm he had hired for the Unsworth case.

Because Musk’s emails to me were part of Unsworth’s initial complaint, I also became entangled in the case. Both sides requested my deposition, and Musk’s requests seemed particularly invasive, asking questions that seemed to get at my newsgathering process and relationships with sources. At one point a process server showed up at BuzzFeed’s San Francisco office while I wasn’t there and sat in our entryway until an editor threatened to call the police.

BuzzFeed News successfully fought off Musk’s subpoena, while Unsworth eventually dropped his. Following that, the plaintiff’s lawyers — who had spent much of the year attempting to build a case partially on Musk’s emails to me — decided they would not use them in court as grounds for defamation, opting to instead sue only over his “pedo guy” tweets.

It was a puzzling choice, abandoning what some experts thought were Musk’s most defamatory statements about the plaintiff. Perhaps Wood had determined Musk’s statements to me hadn’t reached as wide an audience as his original tweets did. Perhaps they worried a discussion about what “on the record” and “off the record” mean would add too much complexity. Wood later declined to answer questions about his legal strategy.

Vernon Unsworth stands outside the federal courthouse in Los Angeles, Dec. 6, 2019.

If Musk is the megalomaniac billionaire who dreams of colonizing Mars (and dying there), Unsworth is his antithesis. A quiet man most at home exploring the depths of the Earth, the Brit was unknown until summoned to help the Thai boys soccer team. His public persona since has been defined by media coverage of the rescue, the fallout from the fateful 43-second CNN interview clip, and the few images of him that exist on wire services and are reused with every article. But when I spoke with him at length after the trial he came a bit more into focus.

The first time we spoke, in the presence of one of his lawyers the day after the trial, I expected to find a defeated man. Instead, Unsworth was bright, if not enthusiastic, chiming in to fill the gaps of his lawyer’s laments and exuding a certain Englishness by saying he’d “take the result on the chin.” He appeared happy it was over.

Our conversations, which continued over the phone, countered the image of the rough, emotionless exterior Unsworth displayed in court. We spoke and texted about his interests: his love of caving and Tham Luang; the incredible undefeated streak of his favorite soccer team, Liverpool; and his optimism for Brexit now that the Conservative Party was in control. His texts were liberally punctuated with prayer hands and laughing-crying face emojis that made it feel like I was communicating with an overly enthusiastic teen. But when we talked, it was mainly about the trial, and his worries that the defense’s portrayal would cast doubt on his heroic efforts.

“That’s not going to go away,” he said. “The pedo tag is always there. … It’s still difficult to understand why the jury got it so wrong.”

During one of our calls, I Googled Unsworth’s name. The first result was a Dec. 7 article from the Sun titled “Who Is Vernon Unsworth? Thailand Cave Diver Dubbed ‘Paedo Guy’ By Elon Musk.” He sighed when I read it aloud.

“That’s not going to go away,” he said. “The pedo tag is always there. … It’s still difficult to understand why the jury got it so wrong.”

The trial had been particularly difficult for Unsworth. Though he didn’t pay for legal representation — Wood took the case on contingency and funded it with more than $400,000 from his firm’s coffers — the personal cost was quite high. On the stand, the Brit had his personal life exposed and interrogated. He was questioned about his estranged wife and daughter who make up his broken family. And the UK tabloids, who sent staffers to cover every moment of the trial, wrote at length about his life in Thailand with his new partner, Tik.

Defense attorneys also read unflattering texts into the record in which Unsworth disparaged the Thai Navy SEALs for their incompetence. They misrepresented a satirical YouTube video created by a friend to portray him as a fame-seeker hungry for movie deals and diminished his crucial contributions to the cave rescue. Unsworth wasn’t a hero, lead defense attorney Alex Spiro suggested, the true heroes were the divers.

On the stand, Unsworth appeared unprepared for what seemed an obvious and important line of questioning. The caver said he felt “humiliated, ashamed, dirty” by Musk’s label, which he called “a life sentence without parole.” There were times he felt vulnerable, he added, his voice cracking: “I have good days and I have bad days.”

But when Spiro pressed him on that, Unsworth stumbled. Had he sought out a therapist to help temper his emotional anguish? Had Musk’s insult caused him to lose any jobs or friends? Did he discuss it with his family? “I bottled it up,” he said on the stand.

The defense painted Unsworth as a man unharmed by the insult and instead widely lauded in the months following the rescue. In the trial, they showed photographs and videos of Unsworth being congratulated by the UK prime minister, palling with Thai government officials, and smiling while Prince William pinned him with an MBE, an appointment to the Order of the British Empire. It was calculated and effective. If the defense was going to lose the argument around the semantics of “pedo guy,” it would at the very least try to limit damages.

Unsworth’s lawyers, on the other hand, called no witnesses who could have proven Musk’s words harmed their client’s reputation. Wood played a video deposition of Unsworth’s estranged wife seemingly to establish sympathy for the plaintiff, but it only ended up showcasing a broken marriage. And he never called Tik, who could have corroborated his claims of pain and anguish. Spiro called no witnesses for the defense.

After the case concluded, Unsworth bristled at the efforts from the defense to belittle his contributions, including one moment where he had been asked by an attorney whether or not he felt like he needed to apologize to Musk. He spoke of how he and Tik had been investigated by four different sets of Thai authorities, including immigration police, following Musk’s tweets. Unsworth also recalled his embarrassment when Prince William mentioned the altercation during the MBE ceremony.

It’s hard to say if those anecdotes would have made a difference, but it’s worth noting that none of the four jurors I interviewed after the trial found Unsworth to be a particularly sympathetic figure. Two of them agreed with the defense’s position that this was an argument between two men and that Unsworth had started it with his remark on CNN. All four said the caver’s team had done little to establish harm, with one calling that failure the “nail in the coffin for his case.” Another said that they viewed both men, the Brit and the billionaire, as heroes caught up in a juvenile spat.

“That’s where they’re wrong,” Unsworth said. “None of us rescuers or divers — none of us — regard ourselves as heroes. So why is Elon Musk a hero? Look up in the dictionary the definition of ‘hero.’ He’s not done anything that’s worthy of hero status.

“But if there is a hero of either one of us, I’d hope that arrow be pointed at me.”

Musk (right) arrives at the federal courthouse in Los Angeles, Dec. 3, 2019.

Musk was playing The Battle Of Polytopia — a mobile game “about ruling the world, fighting evil AI tribes, discovering new lands and mastering new technologies” — when I ran into him in the elevator on the day of the verdict. I hadn’t seen him in court since the day of his testimony.

“Are you allowed to talk about the case?” I asked.

“No.”

“Are you going to sit for the jury verdict?”

“I… I think so,” he stammered, clearly miffed at being distracted from his mobile game. The elevator door opened before I could follow up, and Musk’s guards cut me off as he exited. I’m still not sure if he knew who I was.

Outside the room, Wood seemed nervous. A day earlier, the Georgia lawyer held court with reporters, twirling a Juul between his fingers as he spoke. “Vernon Unsworth wants a verdict, and we’re going to get him a one, good or bad,” he remarked — an odd thing to say about a case he had taken on contingency. Then he told us he planned to retire at his lake house following the jury’s decision.

Wood was more on message during his closing arguments. With the manner of a Southern Baptist preacher, he declared the rescue of the Thai soccer team “a miracle from God” and compared Musk’s tweets to “a nuclear bomb” that decimated Unsworth and created fallout that would affect him for years to come. He told the jury of his commitment to Unsworth and his faith in the rule of law. He suggested Musk became involved in the cave rescue because “publicity drives attention, attention drives investors” — a remark that certainly went over well with the Tesla critics who’d begun following him on Twitter. He was ruddy with passion; at one point, Wilson asked him to keep his emotions in check. Then it got personal.

“Elon Musk is a liar,” Wood said. “How do I know it? I don’t know Elon Musk. I’ve seen him in his deposition. I’ve seen him a couple of times in the courtroom. He walked by me. I’ve never shaken Elon Musk’s hand. He refused to shake my hand.”

Wood never managed to explain just why he thought Musk was a liar, but the billionaire certainly has a propensity for playing fast and loose with the truth — I’d heard this endlessly from former employees, confidants, and investors. But had Musk lied in court? His legal team’s retelling of events was certainly generous, but if there had been a truly egregious falsehood on the stand, I hadn’t heard it. And Wood had never flagged it. The jury seemed unmoved by his hand-waving.

Wood’s request for damages evoked a similar, if not worse, response. With a giant marker, he wrote a bunch of numbers on a large white poster board: for actual damages, defined as the suffering the plaintiff had experienced, $5 million. For assumed damages, the hypothetical harm the plaintiff could have endured from the defendant’s reckless words, $35 million. And for punitive damages, the amount intended to discourage a man worth tens of billions of dollars from doing this again, $150 million.

“I have bad days too, but I don’t walk around saying people should give me $2 million.”

I saw one juror struggling to conceal a smirk as Wood wrote out the total. $190 million was an extraordinary number. Had it been granted, it would have been one of the largest-ever awards given in an individual defamation case.

The sum did not go over well with the jury. After the trial, a number of jurors told me they couldn’t understand those eye-popping numbers, particularly with no clear evidence of harm. “I couldn’t put a dollar amount on ‘I have good days and bad days,’” one said. “I have bad days too, but I don’t walk around saying people should give me $2 million.” Another said the jury considered ruling against Musk and then awarding a symbolic $1 to Unsworth.

Outside the courtroom, there was a similar reaction; impressions of the British caver had soured. Twitter users worried about the optics of asking for that much money, while some found Unsworth to be a money-grubber. On a message board used by the Brits living in Thailand — an online community that Unsworth sometimes frequented — members debated the request. “Guilty but not $200m guilty,” wrote one person.

Damages had been Wood’s call, according to the cave rescuer. But for Unsworth, who makes £25,000 a year as a financial adviser, they made sense. How do you sanction a man with seemingly unlimited resources? Any number that sought punitive recourse against a billionaire is going to look preposterous, and they had to outline something for the jury. “[The money] wouldn’t have affected Musk anyway,” Unsworth told me.

Musk’s legal team used the damages request as a cudgel. Noting the reaction in the courtroom, Spiro mocked the sum in his closing argument. “And all of a sudden I hear numbers being thrown out like this is The Price Is Right or something,” he quipped. “They certainly weren’t wedded to any evidence.”

That argument seemed to resonate with the jury, as did a series of rhetorical questions delivered with a steady cadence. “Where’s Tik?” Spiro asked again and again, a reminder that Unsworth hadn’t even called his partner to testify about the emotional and mental impact of Musk’s remark. Then there was contrition: “Listen, Mr. Musk apologized. He doesn’t like those tweets. The shareholders didn’t like the tweets. Elon’s mom didn’t like the tweets. But he didn’t say that this nameless dude committed the crime of pedophilia.”

That last line, an almost throwaway point barely discussed in the days prior ended up being the killshot. Musk’s tweet didn’t mention Unsworth by name, Spiro explained. If the “reasonable person” Wilson described in his instructions to the jury stumbled across Musk’s tweets, how would they know whom he was talking about?

“In no way did I think that the Musk tweet was justified or fair — but on the other hand, well, he didn’t mention Unsworth,” juror Carl Shusterman told me. An immigration lawyer who had admitted during jury selection that he owned two Teslas, Shusterman said that the group of eight considered all of the judge’s five criteria. But once they agreed the average person wouldn’t understand the tweet was about the caver, they had their verdict.

It took less than an hour. They barely had time to finish lunch.

I struggled to understand the logic. If the tweets were analyzed in a vacuum without any context, sure, a reasonable person might have no idea who Musk was writing about. But beyond that vacuum is context accessible within seconds — thousands of news articles and videos, innumerable tweets, and the biggest search engine in the world tying the words “pedo guy” to Unsworth’s name in perpetuity. Spiro’s assertion was convincing on some level, but it was also preposterous. The jury’s decision seemed to be a fundamental misunderstanding of how people use the internet.

“This was a great ‘internet isn’t real life’ moment,” Ken White, a First Amendment lawyer who blogs as Popehat, told me a few weeks after the case. “What people online think is obvious and self-evident … is not how people in the courtroom see it. People were frequently shocked that there was any potential defense of the case, and they felt so strongly about these things that they mistook those feelings for law.”

Musk arrives at the US district courthouse in Los Angeles, Dec. 4, 2019.

Musk left the courtroom visibly smug. “My faith in humanity is restored,” he said to a scrum of reporters before disappearing into an elevator surrounded by his security team. That night, Tesla’s general counsel quit — the third to do so in a year. A few days later, Musk blocked me and a handful of other journalists on Twitter.

In the weeks that followed, a buoyant Musk would take to the streets of Los Angeles in his Cybertruck prototype, hang out with Kanye West and the Kardashians, and pal around with presidential hopeful Andrew Yang. He celebrated Tesla’s stock hitting an all-time high with memes about $420, the weed-associated number associated with his attempt to take the company private in 2018. January saw him dancing enthusiastically onstage at a Shanghai factory that became the first to manufacture Model 3s in China. Tesla’s market capitalization recently surpassed the $100 billion mark.

But those who know Musk say they’re not sure the billionaire and his car company will be able to maintain this momentum. “In his mind, he’s emerged unscathed — ‘Tesla’s stock price is up and I’m still in my job’ — but if there’s any one word for that stock, it’s ‘volatility,’” one former executive said. “It just looks like good news because it’s contrasted against a past avalanche of bad news.”

“I hope I am wrong about him. I hope he takes people to Mars one day.”

Another person, this one more of a Musk optimist, worried this legal victory would only supercharge one of the billionaire’s most difficult-to-wrangle instincts. “The lawsuit reinforced what he believes is his best strategy: ‘When everyone else is telling me not to do it, I’m going to do it,’” they said.

A week after the trial’s conclusion, Wood inexplicably tweeted an observation that seemed to contradict the arguments he had made in federal court. “The verdict in Unsworth v. Musk spoke the truth,” the lawyer wrote. “While written as possible libel, Elon Musk only intended an insult. Thus, no factual statements were intended. Truth removes any question marks as to Vern’s reputation. Truth wins. So do both parties.”

As critics promptly hammered Wood online and suggested he had left his client out to dry, I wondered if he had just become the latest person to buy into Musk’s reality distortion field. So I asked him whether he still felt the same way about Musk.

“His image has been built to a level that only the most serious of charges could shatter it,” Wood wrote to me. “I hope I am wrong about him. I hope he takes people to Mars one day. But I know what I learned from the evidence.”

I closed Wood’s message and opened my email account. As I did, I saw a reminder to follow up on a note a few days earlier. I had sent it on the final day of the trial, in the blurry hours after the jury let Musk off the hook. “Hey Elon, any thoughts on the verdict?” I had written. He never responded, on or off the record. ●

I'm only going to say this once and without detail because for one it's no one's business

For two Matt Hagan used those bruises and those video tapes that were stolen to ruin my life

He showed everyone including Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin, the military security we had on base, the Chaplin, the commander, my supposed parents and more. "Who is this mysterious mustached man? Hes too old" when bull shit Matt Hagan knew exactly who he was.

And he only knew where I lived because he said he had to talk to Mark Anthony about the human trafficking and then he always ledt 10 minutes before Mark Anthony got there

Then Jesse did that shit to Mark Anthony wanting to talk to me and always left before i got there, sometimes I'd see him walking down my hall, even exiting the apartment once.

Then one time the night the cam was stolen Matt had pinned me against the apartment building and was Al demanding to me about whatever and all tried kissing me which made me shove him and run while him and Jesse laughed all loudly behind me. Which is traumatizing and I didn't leave the apartment for two weeks and didn't leave alone for over a month.

Because the police came and I went to find Mark alone. To warn him they were looking to arrest him for rape. Had they not laughed it wouldn't had bothered me. But their laughter was sick and disgusting.

So you ask me who should went and had the police after themselves.

Certainly not Mark. Who was a child although older than me.

.

The bruises did not hurt.

Yes Mark Anthony did give them to me. When he did grab my leg yes it pinched and yes it was mean but we either laughed about it or i would hit him and tell him not to pinch my leg

At that time i recall getting the bruises they did not hurt when i got them nor any time after.

All the time i have bruises and Idk where they came from and they don't hurt

2 weeks ago i had 3 fairly large bruises on my calf and Idk how i got them. And they didn't hurt.

I bruise easily without pain on my legs

But my arms have more pain and less bruising.

That is the way my body is. So yes there's dark finger mark bruises because he held his fingers there a long time. But i didnt feel any pain and i knew his hand was there. I knew he was squeezing my thigh.

I didn't stop him nor did i want to.

And that is all I have to say. And believe me, I didn't know how to explain it then.

Jane and Lily were all freaked out and so i didn't knpw how to explain it and they were trying to counsel me on abusive relationships so i had to climb on top of her to show them how i got them and Jane laughed at me.

Because we rarely had sex in front of the nanny cam.

That night we were going out and he came home early and I was smoking and watching the tv and browsing the news papers.

Yes i started smoking at like 2. Whatever. Who cares.

Plus if i was smoking it meant i could escape the human traffic factories easier because I had cigarettes and we would pretend we were lost just looking for a place.... We did a lot of reconnaissance. Incognito and did a lot of things to protect ourselves to be able to escape.

So I don't care about opinions or facts people have to judge my life.

I try to save people everyday and it means sometimes I have to murder kidnappers or smoke before I'm age 5.

So no one has a right to negatively judge me nor Mark Anthony. And what we did.

Unless you were in that exact same situation which none of you were because i was. Me not anyone else.

So I don't give a shit what anyone wants to say

I was a beautiful child with a beautiful body. And I obviously knew what pleased me and didn't.

No one has a right to judge that

I'm only writing because several people have expressed Concern about how I did get them

I would too if I saw them on a girl or a guy.

.....

I rarely do judge people. I do warn people that other people are dangerous to them.

And i do judge situations and experiences.

And i call people names but so what they aren't meant to do any thing but express my emotions and opinions about a person.

Like i said that girl calling on the daycare was a lazy bitch. That was my opinion. Fact is im a single mom too and i had to put my kid in day care before too and my kid was kidnapped from day care.

So a note to remind about diapers on the tummy isn't a big deal. If it were my daughter in a dress I would be concerned how and where people wrote on my daughter. And probably its better to write it on the arm.

But I didn't judge the girl. I judged the situation.

So as i said you could judge my situation but unless yoh were there you dont have the ability because what i did was rare

Very few people went into human traffic facilities in order to free people especially starting at age 2. Saint Luches started at 3. And hes a boy. And he was 2x my height.

And So our bodies matured faster. I was the only 2nd grader with books at school. And i was thin as you all seen.

With a mustache 10 year old Mark Anthony could drive. But he couldn't attend school at his age grade level.

So don't fucking judge us negatively

Be proud we adored each other and had proper sexual engagement. That is what the world can do for us.

And again the bruises didn't hurt.

And I'm upset and pissed off at what Matt did 30 years ago.

I don't care that people see me being me with a grown ass boy that loves me. I don't care at all.

Because there is nothing anyone can do to us.

Not now. They already did their worst to us.

I am proud of who I am and the fact that I enjoy sex with another person whom gives consent to sexual activity.

But the fact is that it is child pornography.

And I bruise easily and I was in harm from Mark Anthony. Ever. He always protected me.

When we weren't in groups. He left me a note when and where he would be. So if he was late i knew where to look for him. Because he would go in the boys only side.

And i was to call Ivana or The Orginal and Real Uncle Donald to have a car take me. Because a few times I would just go look and get a feeling and follow it and not even look for him.... Because i would always think "what is the most dangerous place?" And i would find it. So i had to take a car... Cause i got beat up on... On my face and poor Jesse didn't like the strangulation marks my scarf left him. He should never touched me nor taunted me.

And so we had a whole system. And when I saw Jesse leave my apartment, I told Mark that he was the one i saw in the park and gave the black eye to. That's why they went in and stole the camera. Matt and him. Jesse saw him with me once or twice and got him to do this and that. So that's the story they said. But they were living together and Jesse told him to go get the hook up on me unbeknownst to anyone sane.

When i went in the girls only side he waited in a truck in the street. To make sure i was okay.

That night they assaulted, me i had walked down to pick up Thai food while Mark Anthony was asleep. Cause we would eat it for two days and it only cost us $20 for 4 meals with soup and egg rolls. And we would get it when we had to shop or just shopped and wanted to rest after a long week

We usually ate it on weekends but that was a Wednesday and he had skipped work because of a chest cold.

Because getting the kidnapped people sick wasn't good because it could leak us or it would cause them to simply suffer more if they got sick.

So it would set us back and the people from the Thai restaurant would have to go in when they had news of family and the ability to relocate and they would sneak in to deliver food.

I never liked to eat at the restaurants because the workers there didn't eat and the girls i wanted them to know They were off work and would be. So simply a gesture of not eating to me meant the world would go without so they could be free.

Mark Anthony would eat to show the boys they were one and the same. He was free and they would be and should be like him.

But I always felt it distracted and weighed me down and i have an allergy to MSG. So id make a sandwich at home before i left. Id have a snack or bite or two if one of the girls asked.

One girl was Jewish and was worried about Nazi and being poisoned so she would usually give me a few bites of food to show her it was safe. Almost always. Or she would wait 20 minutes to see how the others reacted.

This is a different restaurant than i mentioned before. And different girls.

And so not eating gave me a way to watch the street if i felt unsafe or to watch the girls to get to know them individually.

Watch them laugh and talk and see how their cultures were different. I could tell how long a girl had been free before she wad kidnapped by her attitude and her voluminous self.

But not always. Some of the loudest had been in their whole lives and were happiest. Those always stayed. They didn't know how to get home.

But they always tried to get to the littlest right away to find out where their homes were so they could go home right away.

"We can get you home fastest" they would always say.

So I've had a very proud life. I'm not arrogant about it. I barely remember it. We did what we had to do to stop greed and abuse.

We returned them all. Clones. Humans. Aliens. It didn't matter. We trusted them and sent them home.

We were very young and naïve. That doesn't take from what we did. We did the best we could

So now we have learned in our years and it's a different kind of WWIII. As i said it's as good as over. But we still need to finish and we will.

All these wars, they have all been about the same, human trafficking but it was always covered

England told the Chinese to tell the Japanese the USA stole their people to be slaves. When it was England. Unknown to any, we had our own country enslaved.

So this is the first where it's been out in the open.

And we planned and planned and planned before returning to Earth, Mark Anthony and I.

So while y'all may think oh you were all young and shouldn't been having sex.

That isn't the case. Aliens should not be on our planet lying and trying to destroy us.

For more than 5 years Matt Hagan has been directly in my way. Since 2015.

Not until my daughter's intuition to change her 16th. Birthday celebration and i finally see Saint Luches again did anything fluid come back to me.

September 15 2019

And in that short amount of time we've been able to rescue about a Trillion people.

So make sure when you're pointing fingers you point the correct ones in the correct direction.

The nanny cam was, yes in front of the chair. What you can't see is the front door behind Marks big head.

You also don't see when Some one would open the door we would both slide to the floor.

Even if we were expecting someone with a key.

The Thai restaurant had a spare and Uncle Donald or Ivana had the other

My Uncle Dad knew where i was at all times had a list of apartments at his desk at work where it was safe. The apartment was closest to the bunker and restaurant just like when i would stay with Jane. Although Jane's was much closer, hers was between the restaurant and the bunker

Whilst this apartment was the apartment then the restaurant then the bunker when going North from the apartment. So it was a lonlier walk than at Jane's and how Jane and Lily could So easily insert themselves into my operation.

Because in the beginning I did walk. And it would be cold and stark. With them i felt warmth and comfort and happiness, excitement. Walking home... The sidewalk was cement like their walls, their homes they never wanted nor asked for. The buildings empty and dark.

The lights from the Thai restaurant would lighten my load and so when i got home, i was happy to be there and less sad about the girls i left behind.

The Thai restaurant's lights spilling onto the sidewalk as i huddled myself home were a beacon of hope always shining bright.

Like a lighthouse in the storm of my mind.

So none of you know what Matt Hagan did And he's all telling his group chat and asking for advise.

There is none. He set us back 30 years and started human trafficking himself.

There's nothing he can do.

There's no way i can stop him from spreading child pornography. But at least its mine and not some child being raped by an unknown man. Or some one that parades around in the sunlight as a doting father to the little girl he touched and tormented behind closed doors.

So people wanted to know what gave me the bruises. It wasn't a monster.

The monster tells a sob story once he gets caught and acts like he wants to fix it.

When really he destroyed it and he's discreetly bragging about it. And neglected to mention he himself killed the head chef and best detective at the Thai restaurant in 1997.

I know you'll never actually understand how meaningful it is to be able to be the one to help people be set free. How destructive it is to a persons soul and heart until you do it yourself.

Until you eat bites of food for a Jewish girl who is scared of Nazi ... How honoring it is to be that person that is that trusted by extreme. While girls tease her down the row about dying of the food they ate. And i tell them "eat some of hers, it's good. You must be a bad person to get the poison"

Then the girls changing and trusting and loving each other more. They all ordered different food each night and eventually the girl who teased and was a forever stay moved herself and her food down and shared off the plates with the Jewish girl. Even ordered less beef and more shrimp because the Jewish girl told the forever girl, "well if you are going to stay longest you'll eat the most and you should eat most of what you like best"

I watched the world change and get better for the most pained people, children really.

And Matt Hagan purposely destroyed it more than once over and over.

So if you run across the pornography of my childhood, dont be ashamed of it.

Watch it. See my face. See his. The desire we have for each other. See how in love we are.

And know i will remove every fucking alien from this planet and prevent any from coming in again and never will we have dead or human trafficking again for eternity.

We came back because of WWII and how Germany was acting. Killing all our humans just as they did in Africa.

Look it up. There's not a lot of Africans in the world. Once ago we all African. Every single one of us.

An Egyptian now isn't black. They're tan.

Mark Anthony was black as night. I was lighter skinned but still African.

Obviously now you can see I am stark white and still lighter than Mark Anthony.

At one time our skin was pink another time blue. So it has changed.

The whiter is the most fed up. We don't even want to resemble something on the planet. What is white? Clouds and some flowers.

No dirt is white unless it's infested with salt.

Im done. I'm all fuck you die on a second chance im not even gonna play. Some one goes near that car i got a guy burning alive in. It's gonna have an explosion to let you know to back the fuck up.

Mark Anthony will draw a line of fire that ends where it started -- a circle.. To protect his dying from being interrupted and to stop anyone from trying to interrupt.

But if you notice. Its a circle that ends where it started. Which means the world will return to its intended ways.

Me? Im all get the fuck out the way you see it? Hear it! Make sure you'll see it.

My shit is loud. But in that video posted tonight. You heard all the sounds i made. The sounds He made certain areas make you didn't. But my sex is quiet.

Which is why y'all don't get details. And if you notice, I do talk frequently about sex but i don't talk about what happens during it.

Because i can't explain it. Sex with the right person is something that is unexplainable.

It can be mimicked with anyone but its usually for a short time

But real authentic great sex with your soulmate is unexplainable with words. So I don't bother.

So. Running across my childhood pornography is a rare event.

It's not that i prefer people to see it. But since it has been posted... Don't be ashamed of me.

Don't be ashamed of you for really looking at It in depth and not feeling sexual about it. Or feeling a sleeping part of your sexuality you thought was dead.

I haven't been advocating soulmate matches constantly because I don't know what the Hell im talking about.

So when you watch it know those two people know what the Hell they are talking about. Just as I said about William and Kate.

They know, too.

So I'm not at all shamed. I'm proud of myself just as I am about William and Kate being together.

So in a way i most definitely deserve this video tonight for pointing them out.

But no one on this planet deserved what happened 30 year ago.

It's part of why Mark and i are not together now and why it took me seeing Saint Luches at a Knight event at a Renaissance Faire completely on accident.

And to look at a Disney Princess Fairytale when the Princess is hidden away until her 16th Birthday like Sleeping Beauty perhaps...

The monsters did get unleashed. But this time. They will die. Just like any real Fairytale.

Unlike Disney, my Princess is safe and will always be.

Unlike Disney it wasn't one girl the people feared for.

Its the whole world

My daughter was born on the anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr's "i have a dream" speech. And we celebrated her 16th Birthday late.

Where I once again saw Saint Luches the boy that allowed me at 2 years old to find my way through Iraq, Afghanistan, Isreal, create Al Qeada, ISIS and give Abu a name of honor.

And so Martin Luther King Jr. Sir. Your dream will be achieved.

Thanks to one little 16 year old child.

And had Matt Hagan not killed and eaten 14 of Declans soulmates we made from dirt like how the people were initially created

And i hadn't given birth to that little Annabelle for Declan. Then likely it would not happened the way it occurred.

So if you hadn't recognized a miracle before. You should now.

Regardless of what happens between now and then, as I promised Matt Hagan in Dunedin Florida when he paraded around as Dallas Frazier, "you will not get in my way"

And in 2002 when he tried to impregnate me with his semen, "you will not defeat me"

A long the way he's beaten me.

But no more.

I'm very proud of the world for fighting and standing together and surviving this traumatic lifetime we are living.

Its been A lot worse. And we are gonna make it better

That is why i am white as a cloud. Cause I will fucking kill from the Heavens if anyone succeeds in ending my life. I swear to you now and forever that i will.

Oh I also wanted to say I was pleased how Tumblr dash of the few I follow looked happier today.

Friday will be rough.

Sunday is super bowl. So keep in mind this will be the last time we watch commercials of products made by human traffic victims.

As long as we stick together and stick to the fight and resolve to remove people from those types of facilities

And we all are.

Next year super bowl will be less morose.

So, let's go 49ers!

I'm feeling Kansas (Wizard of Oz) everyday. I think we all need a break ;)

Ok ok i have a Kansas City Chiefs blanket at home cause it was on sale... And I've always liked the 49ers cause their name. And their helmet style.

So I'm impartial, really. And if i think too hard I'm gonna be all let's go WiZard of Oz!!!

So I'll remain impartial but I got a feeling on Kansas.

So let's go 49ers! Lets go!

;))

So Saturday just kick it on some downtime. Listen to music. Im sure allot of cleaning for the Sunday will occur so crank up the stereo, open the Windows and let some fresh in. Not all the Windows and not if the weather is too cold of course but let some fresh in.

We all need some fresh air.

Love y'all. Don't forget. We can't save the world if we don't love us.

💞💞💞💞💞💞💋
