god i just love him and i love how you write him sm 😌💖

#34 You can hear it in the silence

For Mike Duarte 🥹

Mike doesn’t want to talk about it. He doesn’t want to discuss the fact he saw another man kiss you today, that he watched his hands touch your body in a way that’s all too familiar to Mike. Instead he sits at the bar in silence, sipping his whisky as you study the Merlot in front of you.

This thing between the two of you comes with caveats. He can’t hide his displeasure about what happened but he also can’t fault you. It’s part of the job, he reminds himself, and he’d been the one to put you in that position.

“I can’t do this.” You say suddenly and he sets down his glass with a sigh. “If you’re mad at me just say something because I can’t deal with this cold shoulder shit anymore.”

“Mi Vida…” He begins but you cut him off because apparently you still have a lot more to say.

“Do you think I enjoyed it?” You ask him, your voice raising an octave. “Having another man’s hands on me? Having him kiss me?”

“I think you enjoyed it as much as I did.” Mike informs you, draining the rest of his glass. “I wanted to murder him, I wanted to put my gun in his mouth and pull the trigger.”

He has that dark look in his eyes, the one he gets when he feels a little wild, a little out of control.

“It scares me Mi Vida. I’ve always known I’d die for you, but today…” He pauses for a moment. “Today I learned I’d kill for you too.”

Eleven is not gonna die, know how I know?

She has yet to live publicly. She has one thing she's always dreamed of and she has yet to truly achieve it. She sort of did for a bit in season 4 but it was more akin to witness protection where she still loved in fear of the government finding her.

She was imprisoned. Then she was in hiding with Mike. Then she was in isolation with Hopper. Then she was able to leave in controlled places and times to avoid witnesses. Then she allowed to go to school and back and around town, but only as Jane, and not back to Hawkins.

She wants to be free and she has yet to be. "Dies a hero" is not closure for her because she still does have goals unmet. She wanted to live out of isolation, as herself, safely and freely, maybe even in her hometown.

She has yet to do that. She will obviously be in hiding for the duration of season 5. She will not die before she gets the chance to live out of it.

Eleven will end as a normal girl able to explore the world freely. They've all signed NDAs many times before - she won't reveal her powers and will likely only go by El, but she will be living as freely as Will or any of the other kids with bound secrets of their own.

She will not die because she has yet to actually be the "normal girl" she dreamed of as herself. Had she had all of it in season 4, I might say differently, but that was essentially witness protection. Were she to be living publicly in season 5, I would say differently, but the government plot is not resolved. She will integrate and she will live.

Their whole thing with hero's deaths is the bittersweetness that in death, a character still achieved their goal - when a characters' life's goal was to be a hero (Bob, Eddie, even Billy). HERS IS NOT. She is one, but that is different. She has in fact already sacrificed her life for Will's too, so that would be empty as an arc payoff we had in season 1. She isn't fighting to save the day. If she were, she would be willing to die saving it. She's fighting to lay down her load.

She could die if, like some past characters, she were fighting to win - to be a winner, but she's not. She's fighting to see the other side.

She isn't the type of person to fight to win and she never has been. She is the type of person to win the fight so that she can stop fighting. Dying for a cause does not give her that, it robs her of it. That is not the closure every interview on the finale has described.

She is not dead. Because she would be dying still in her gilded cage. She is not dead. She is free.

[love-byers]

you know what's crazy?

i think most of us are aware that the song that plays over the monologue is titled "You're The Heart", but for a second lets think logically. if the monologue is truly just mike confessing is true love, and this is setting up for mlvn endgame, and there is no deeper connection or involvement of will's feelings, why is that the name of the track that plays through the entire duration of the monologue??

like think about that. the song doesn't begin until immediately after mike says the first "i love you!". that is what triggers the song to begin. nowhere in the duration of footage the song plays over in the episode does anyone say "You're The Heart". will said that several lines before the song began. kyle and michael (OST producers) know this. they watched the exact duration of footage that the song would be playing over probably over 100 times. so why when naming this song did their minds go to WILL'S line that is said well before the song begins?? a line that directly ties back to will expressing his deep seeded love for mike??? why not name it "I Love You" as mike said it multiple times during the duration of the song and it was what el had been asking for all season, or "You're My Superhero" since that line supposedly encapsulates everything mike feels about el and was said during the duration of the song?? no, it had to be will's line. will's line that was not even said during the duration of the song. they named a song that plays ONCE during the ENTIRE SHOW after a line that WAS NOT SAID DURING THE SONG. if mlvn are endgame and will get married and have babies and whatnot, why does will have ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS?????? why is will telling mike he's the heart more significant than anything from mike's grand declaration of love to el, which had a whole OST track made for it?????? well, we all know why, but we're called crazy when we say it, so the question still remains.

like just picture that. kyle and michael watched mike's monologue, watched him say i love you nine times, watching him say he fell in love with her at first sight, and said "we shall name this song You're The Heart!"

not "I Love You"

not "You're My Superhero"

not "Love"

not ANYTHING from mike's long ass monologue

no, it's "You're The Heart". it had to be "You're The Heart". it had to be a line not even said during the duration of the song, a line that is representative of will's love for mike. will's line. will, who mike asked to be his friend on the first day of kindergarten, who mike feels is the best thing he's ever brought into his life, who mike has a special relationship with, who mike jumps to defend, who mike cares for so much that he tried to fight his own bully because he said something bad about will, who's voice mike recognizes even though no one esle does, who mike is extremely attentive to to the point he is the only one to notice will is being slightly quieter than usual, who's floor mike slept on so he could be there for him, who's bedside mike slept by when he was unconscious in the hospital, who mike asked to go crazy with him, who mike always speaks softly to, who's hand mike held when he was afraid, who mike can't stand being on bad terms with, who mike jumps to apologize and take accountability without having to be told or instructed, who mike biked across town in the rain to apologize to, who made mike mike cheese just by saying he wouldn't find new friends, who ruined mike's ENTIRE day by simply being quiet and a bit moody, who mike feels is different than his other friends, who mike feels hawkins isn't the same without, who mike wants to be a team with, who mike chooses to stand next to when the world is ending right in front of them. it had to be will.

sorry, was that a bit overboard?

anyways i think you get my point lol

Long haul flight experience #1

I’ve never been on a plane more than like 6 hours. But we took Lufthansa and goddamn they run a tight ship.

The whole experience was very German. Be on time. Sit down. Follow the rules to the letter (we watched a French couple be absolutely SHREDDED because they put their bag in front of the emergency exit).

Immediately after take off they come around with full water bottles and pretzels, so far pretty normal right? Then about 20 minutes later it’s dinner! By now it’s like 11pm (body wise). Beef or pasta, we get one of each and it’s a full ass meal. Side salad, bread, a pudding, the main dish and sides. Even a little cheese and crackers.

They clean up and I’m finally ready for the lights to go out, but nooo, would you like tea or coffee? After a full tea service they make one pass through and then lights out everyone shut the fuck up. I look around and people are sprawled out like a college common area.

Obviously I don’t sleep, between being upright and the insane annoyance of the bathroom light shining on us every time someone opens the door. But it’s fine. I knew I wasn’t going to sleep but I’m a good person and didn’t play games on my phone. I just sat and stared around for what felt like 26 years.

I made the mistake of setting a timer on my phone for the flight duration. Checking it periodically was torture. I’d wait a long time and think “surely there’s only 3 hours left” just to sneak a peek and it’s still 6 hours to go. I wait even longer, determined to hold out, check again and it had only been 20 minutes. I felt like I was going crazy.

Finally, after living 5 lives there alone in the dark while my husband snored peacefully, they abruptly turn the lights on. I’m offended on behalf of the people of the plane. There could be some gentle announcement first? But no. Wake up bitches, here’s a hot towel.

Coffee service rumbles through and I break my “no coffee on planes” rule because this is a German plane and probably to a higher cleaning standard (don’t tell me if I’m wrong). This coffee is an elixir, I am human again. Then a cart comes by again and it’s a hot bun with some kind of herby cheese inside? Fucking delicious. I ate mine and Mike’s. I am now cured of all that ails me. My shoulders don’t hurt. My head doesn’t feel like a fishbowl.

Then the most miraculous thing happened, when we landed everyone got off the plane in a quick and orderly fashion.

[joydoesathing]

not sure if anyone's asked for it yet but Michael and Wilma nsfw possibly?

oh, it has been asked a lot XD

i'll get to it probably, but i can't guarantee when because personally, I find it hard to find motivation to draw them doing that stuff. idk, maybe it's because ever since the lore drop for w, i see them more of being just two people trying to work and help each other out in the precarious situation they're in (so banging would be not their top priority)

long story short, for now Mike gets blue-balled the whole duration

LETTERS FROM AN AMERICAN

March 2, 2025

Heather Cox Richardson

Mar 03, 2025

On February 28, the same day that President Donald Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance took the side of Russian president Vladimir Putin against Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelensky in the Oval Office, Martin Matishak of The Record, a cybersecurity news publication, broke the story that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered U.S. Cyber Command to stop all planning against Russia, including offensive digital actions.

Both the scope of the directive and its duration are unclear.

On Face the Nation this morning, Representative Mike Turner (R-OH), a strong supporter of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and Ukraine, contradicted that information. “Considering what I know, what Russia is currently doing against the United States, that would I’m certain not be an accurate statement of the current status of the United States operations,” he said. Well respected on both sides of the aisle, Turner was in line to be the chair of the House Intelligence Committee in this Congress until House speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) removed him from that slot and from the intelligence committee altogether.

And yet, as Stephanie Kirchgaessner of The Guardian notes, the Trump administration has made clear that it no longer sees Russia as a cybersecurity threat. Last week, at a United Nations working group on cybersecurity, representatives from the European Union and the United Kingdom highlighted threats from Russia, while Liesyl Franz, the State Department’s deputy assistant secretary for international cybersecurity, did not mention Russia, saying the U.S. was concerned about threats from China and Iran.

Kirchgaessner also noted that under Trump, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), which monitors cyberthreats against critical infrastructure, has set new priorities. Although Russian threats, especially those against U.S. election systems, were a top priority for the agency in the past, a source told Kirchgaessner that analysts were told not to follow or report on Russian threats.

“Russia and China are our biggest adversaries,” the source told Kirchgaessner. “With all the cuts being made to different agencies, a lot of cybersecurity personnel have been fired. Our systems are not going to be protected and our adversaries know this.” “People are saying Russia is winning,” the source said. “Putin is on the inside now.”

Another source noted that “There are dozens of discrete Russia state-sponsored hacker teams dedicated to either producing damage to US government, infrastructure and commercial interests or conducting information theft with a key goal of maintaining persistent access to computer systems.” “Russia is at least on par with China as the most significant cyber threat, the person added. Under those circumstances, the source said, ceasing to follow and report Russian threats is “truly shocking.”

Trump’s outburst in the Oval Office on Friday confirmed that Putin has been his partner in politics since at least 2016. “Putin went through a hell of a lot with me,” Trump said. “He went through a phony witch hunt where they used him and Russia… Russia, Russia, Russia—you ever hear of that deal?—that was a phony Hunter Biden, Joe Biden, scam. Hillary Clinton, shifty Adam Schiff, it was a Democrat scam. And he had to go through that. And he did go through it, and we didn’t end up in a war. And he went through it. He was accused of all that stuff. He had nothing to do with it. It came out of Hunter Biden’s bathroom.”

Putin went through a hell of a lot with Trump? It was an odd statement from a U.S. president, whose loyalty is supposed to be dedicated to the Constitution and the American people.

Trump has made dismissing as a hoax what he calls “Russia, Russia, Russia” central to his political narrative. But Russian operatives did, in fact, work to elect him in 2016. A 2020 report from the Republican-dominated Senate Intelligence Committee confirmed that Putin ordered hacks of Democratic computer networks, and at two crucial moments WikiLeaks, which the Senate committee concluded was allied with the Russians, dumped illegally obtained emails that were intended to hurt the candidacy of Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton. Trump openly called for Russia to hack Clinton’s emails.

Russian operatives also flooded social media with disinformation, not necessarily explicitly endorsing Trump, but spreading lies about Clinton to depress Democratic turnout, or to rile up those on the right by falsely claiming that Democrats intended to ban the Pledge of Allegiance, for example. The goal of the propaganda was not simply to elect Trump. It was to pit the far ends of the political spectrum against the middle, tearing the nation apart.

Fake accounts on Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook drove wedges between Americans over issues of race, immigration, and gun rights. Craig Timberg and Tony Romm of the Washington Post reported in 2018 that Facebook officials told Congress that the Russian campaign reached 126 million people on Facebook and 20 million on Instagram.

That effort was not a one-shot deal: Russians worked to influence the 2020 presidential election, too. In 2021 the Office of the Director of National Intelligence concluded that Putin “authorized, and a range of Russian government organizations conducted, influence operations aimed at denigrating President [Joe] Biden’s candidacy and the Democratic Party, supporting former President Trump, undermining public confidence in the electoral process, and exacerbating sociopolitical division in the US.” But “[u]nlike in 2016,” the report said, “we did not see persistent Russian cyber efforts to gain access to election infrastructure.”

Moscow used “proxies linked to Russian intelligence to push influence narratives—including misleading or unsubstantiated allegations against President Biden—to US media organizations, US officials, and prominent US individuals, including some close to former President Trump and his administration,” the Office of the Director of National Intelligence concluded.

In October 2024, Matthew Olsen, head of the Justice Department’s National Security Division, warned in an interview with CBS News that Russia was bombarding voters with propaganda to divide Americans before that year’s election, as well. Operatives were not just posting fake stories and replying to posts, but were also using AI to manufacture fake videos and laundering Russian talking points through social media influencers. Just a month before, news had broken that Russia was funding Tenet Media, a company that hired right-wing personalities Tim Pool, Dave Rubin, Benny Johnson, Lauren Southern, Tayler Hansen, and Matt Christiansen, who repeated Russian talking points.

Now back in office, Trump and MAGA loyalists say that efforts to stop disinformation undermine their right to free speech. Project 2025, the extremist blueprint for the second Trump administration, denied that Russia had interfered in the 2016 election—calling it “a Clinton campaign dirty trick”—and called for ending government efforts to stop disinformation with “utmost urgency.” “The federal government cannot be the arbiter of truth,” it said.

On February 20, Steven Lee Myers, Julian E. Barnes, and Sheera Frenkel of the New York Times reported that the Trump administration is firing or reassigning officials at the FBI and CISA who had worked on protecting elections. That includes those trying to stop foreign propaganda and disinformation and those combating cyberattacks and attempts to disrupt voting systems.

Independent journalist Marisa Kabas broke the story that two members of the “Department of Government Efficiency” are now installed at CISA: Edward Coristine, a 19-year-old known as “Big Balls,” and Kyle Schutt, a 38-year-old software engineer. Kim Zetter of Wired reported that since 2018, CISA has “helped state and local election offices around the country assess vulnerabilities in their networks and help secure them.”

During the 2024 campaign, Trump said repeatedly that he would end the war in Ukraine. Shortly after the election, a newspaper reporter asked Nikolai Patrushev, who is close to Putin, if Trump’s election would mean “positive changes from Russia’s point of view.” Patrushev answered: “To achieve success in the elections, Donald Trump relied on certain forces to which he has corresponding obligations. And as a responsible person, he will be obliged to fulfill them.”

Today, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told a reporter: “The new administration is rapidly changing all foreign policy configurations. This largely aligns with our vision.”

Excerpt from this story from EcoWatch:

Scientists have coined the term “thirstwaves” to describe extended periods of atmospheric thirst when the Earth’s atmosphere more readily takes up moisture from the planet’s surface.

This new term differs from droughts or heatwaves. During thirstwaves, the Earth’s atmosphere could take more water from soil and plants, prompting concerns over how these periods could affect agriculture.

“This idea of thirstwaves I think is really going to catch on,” Mike Hobbins, a Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES) researcher at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Physical Sciences Laboratory, said in a statement. “It’s a very powerful metric and it’s a crucial distinction from heatwaves, because we have been hobbled for decades by this idea that temperature is really the only place where the information is.” 

In a new study, published in the journal Earth’s Future, “thirstwave” is defined as a period of time — lasting at least three days in a row — with higher-than-usual evaporative demand compared to the historical 90th percentile amount.

Evaporative demand is a common metric that farmers use to plan water usage for crops. So with increasing risk of thirstwaves, farmers may require more water resources to grow crops. 

The research, written by Hobbins and Meetpal Kukal, a research hydrologist at the University of Idaho, revealed that the chance of no thirstwaves during agricultural growing seasons has gone down dramatically from 1980 to 2021, while frequency, duration and intensity of thirstwaves in the U.S. have all increased in the same period. Frequency is up 23%, duration is 7% higher and intensity has increased by 17%.

In 2022, NOAA warned that increasing evaporative demand in the U.S. was leading to restricted water supplies, drier soil, drier crops and increased risk of fires. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Climate Hub has also noted that even farms in typically dry regions that have implemented adaptive techniques to grow amid droughts can experience lower yields and worsening crop quality with higher evaporative demand.

According to the study authors, the worsening threat of thirstwaves means this phenomenon requires further monitoring and reporting to mitigate impacts. 

[drabbles-mc]

the way i was simply just nodding in agreement and taking notes on all of these but something in my mind came truly unhinged when i got to mike. no one look at me i'm spinning out about it 😂🫣

If I may ask, i wanna know your thoughts on how much the guys of SVU would moan during sex, and maybe if they talk dirty or not🤭🤭🤭

Mike Dodds - I feel Mike is a grunter, he loves having you on top, his hands on your hips holding you in place as he fucks up into you, his face buried in your throat. His grunts get louder, more drawn out as he gets closer. When he comes it's a loud strangled sound in your ear with ragged breathing as he smiles against your jaw.

Joe Velasco - Joe is a talker, when he gets his hands on you he can't help but run his mouth. He tells you how good you look for him, how amazing you feel under his hands, how beautiful you are for him. When he's with you he's fully engaged, it's whispers and low mumbles into your heated skin. Thumb ghosting over your cheek as he murmurs against your skin in both English and Spanish.

Terry Bruno - I feel like out of everyone he is the quietest. It's heavy breathing and intense intimate looks. When he does talk it's to praise you, tell you drive him crazy. When he comes it's like the sound is torn out of him, a choked noise that erupts from his chest. In the aftermath Terry talks, he tells you how much he loves you, he adores you, how happy he is to be with you.

Mike Duarte - Mike is full on from the get go. He's an enthusiatic lover, talkative and groaning. He wants you to know what you do to him, how he feels for you, he wants no doubts in your mind. He wants you to know how much he enjoys you so he's loud, he's verbal and he loves you.

[smiledoggy]

Stupid little petscop positing.

Okay so generally it's pretty commonly accepted that Mike may have been killed by Marvin via vehicular manslaughter. We can speculate this through a variety of factors, such as applying Toneth to Mike. For example, both being described as painters by Rainer in Petscop 6 and Petscop 24 respectively.

As well as Toneth's description being the one where Rainer goes off about the dog.

Now do I think the dog doesn't exist and he's actually talking about Mike here? Not really, but I'm very loosey goosey with my theory crafting and will gladly accept something if I deem it "funny" enough, so the idea of Marvin hitting the dog and then hitting Mike later is just too funny for me. We know Mike can't have been hit trying to save the dog because Mike's input is referenced earlier in this dialogue box, implying he is alive after the dog got hit at the time these notes were initially written.

I feel it's also worth just pointing out that in Petscop 7, the room that generates for "Mike's face, but without the eyebrows" has not only a toy car on the table, but gift boxes and what looks to be road patterns on the carpet.

So where does the driver being Marvin even come into this. During Marvin's footage in Petscop 20, Mike's in-game grave lingers on his screen far longer than we've seen with other characters that interact with it.

Whether or not he just failed to close the dialogue box, or Rainer coded it to stay open for a longer duration of time on Marvin's profile specifically, we don't know. I lean toward the latter, personally. It's very clear that Rainer has a vendetta against Marvin for some reason, and Mike's death seems like a pretty damn good one.

Furthermore, going back to Petscop 6, Marvin has Toneth in his inventory and (possibly accidentally) drops him when spelling out questions with letter blocks.

Also giffing this made me realize that Toneth was a gift box before he spawned proper. Go back up and read what Mike's grave says.

There is also the orange car in the garage in Petscop 16, which we can reasonably assume is the same car that hits Paul in Petscop 22. It can be argued that this vehicle belongs to Marvin or at least represents Marvin in some way. (notice how Marvin's car is in the garage, where the computer we can presume belongs to Rainer also is?)

I understand that in the way of most theory crafting these connections don't really scream "Marvin hit a child with his car" but understand that this is petscop we're talking about and you've gotta be ready to just have the most roundabout and convoluted red string board imaginable when you're theory crafting this shit okay.

So why am I recapping this. Well, in a lot of fan speculation and discussion I see people posit that Mike's death was a big turning point for the Family. As a catalyst for Marvin and Anna divorcing amongst various other things, Mike getting hit is treated as a "beginning of the end," and I don't disagree with this notion! However I do think that the Family was doomed from the start, even if Mike hadn't died in some tragic accident at the hands of his uncle/uncle-in-law. I think it was definitely a push though.

...

However. I don't think anyone witnessed it.

Because if the Family had witnessed Marvin hitting Mike

Why would they be looking for Mike.

We know very little about what all The Family knows. Petscop doesn't exposit this to us, for reasons that are fairly obvious. (We aren't family. It doesn't concern us. Everyone who has any business knowing about it already knows about it.) But this single text, this single bit of dialogue, tells us that there was a period of time where Mike was considered missing, and The Family was searching for him. And Rainer, his older brother, was rationalizing against the search in a very strange way.

Much like how Rainer knew Care had been kidnapped by Marvin and chose not to say anything about it even though he was an active participant in searching for her, Rainer knew what happened to Mike. The only allusions to cars and Mike are from Rainer directly via his game.

So basically, what I'm positing with all of this is:

Rainer was in the passenger seat.

[idsfantasy]

do you think that gregory, vanessa and freddy all being parallels (for lack of a better word) to crying child, elizabeth and michael is a metaphorical thing or a literal thing?

I lean literal, especially in the case of Freddy and Mike and Vanessa and Elizabeth. Freddy's whole speech about not being himself, finding himself when he cleared the path, and now being able to choose to protect Gregory, not to mention Freddy somehow pushing through an extra hour of having no power and calling it a "second wind" as though that's how batteries work screams "possessed" to me, and I think Mike makes a lot more sense than Henry given the circumstances.

And then there's Vanessa who not only has a dad named Bill which is a nickname for William, seems to be two people in one of the endings which could imply that one of them is not the original Vanessa, and she heavily implies Glitchtrap is her dad during therapy.

For Gregory, the connection is definitely there visually in his design, and I think his connections the post-it room are there enough (I don't believe the Mimic had anything to do with the post-it room as, due to it being mentioned that MXES is old in the Steel Wool interview, I think it's probably been down in the FFPS location since before the Pizzaplex was built. Also the post-it room door in the files is specifically named "CharlieDoor", not "MimicDoor" or anything like that) for the Staff bot table and the more CC connected post-its to have to do with him (in addition to Charlie being in the room of course). Probably some case of Glitchtrap's control over him being broken by getting possessed by CC (which could be the case whether he's a living kid or a robot, though I lean robot due to the Sister Location room wall code which, contrary to popular belief, does NOT match the code described in relation the the Mimic, and seems to spend its duration describing Gregory. Ergo "they hunt now drawn to life not real still keen" and "I built the breath" are probably referring to him).

ever since taylor had moved in with alanna until the duration of her recovery, mike was getting cozy in her former room ⸻ and with her younger sister while he was at it; ayana had become a best friend, lover, and confidant to him in such a short amount of time... and vice versa. setting a mug of tea on the table next to her, he would weave his arm around ayana's petite frame before snuggling in closer. "well, eleanor... it's just the two of us here..." a classic ode to the film 'alvin and the chipmunks', the pair's signature inside joke.

OMFG I have had another thought!

So— you know in the ASIP, Their first meeting in the lab, at Bart’s (that I can’t find a gif for, frustratingly enough) and Sherlock asks to borrow a phone to text.

What if Sherlock only did that to get John’s phone, to be able to get his number? I mean he’d met Mike Stamford earlier that day, what if he knew Mike left his phone in his coat— and even if he didn’t, Sherlock only had one objective, Get John Watson’s number and seeing as their are old friends, surely Mike would have it in his phone.

After all, he’d deduced the reason for John’s presence at Bart’s “I mentioned earlier that I must be a difficult man to find a flatmate for, then here he is, just after lunch with an old friend clearly home from military service…”

I mean, how else would he have gotten John’s number to message him later during John’s meeting with Mycroft. I mean, sure he could of used some connections, or maybe they exchanged numbers from the duration of leaving 221B when it was light out, to then it being dark— although their first meeting was in January when it gets darker than, but either way.

Today, Loren Merchan’s business partner Mike Nellis @MikeNellis had to appear before the House Judiciary Committee after the @KamalaHarris advisor REFUSED to turn over his communications with Judge Merchan.

Did you know that @KamalaHarris sent him payments to his house right before Judge Merchan was supposed to sentence Donald Trump?

Why won’t the media talk about that?

Nellis is also the founder of White Dudes for Harris.

Why is Kamala Harris funneling money to the business partner of the daughter of the Judge who is gagging Donald Trump for the duration of the campaign?

This is election interference.

Why won’t the media address this?

This is what they should be talking about.

The White Lotus (2021-)

directed by: Mike White (USA)

written by: Mike White

duration: 6 episodes

What can go wrong when you spend a week in a luxury hotel? This limited series explores the dark complexities unfolding as a result of the interaction between guests and employees while maintaining a relaxing facade for their sake of sanity.

The show won critics for its humor, writing, acting and production value and won fifteen Primetime Emmy Awards and two Golden Globes while Jennifer Coolidge won two Primetime Emmys and a Golden Globe for her performance on two seasons.
