भारतीय वंशाची ‘ झिप्पी ‘ अवैधरित्या स्कॉटलंड इथे पोहचली , कर्मचाऱ्यांना फोडला घाम

देशात सध्या एका वेगळ्याच प्रकरणाची जोरदार चर्चा सुरू असून एका खारुताईने भारतातून चक्क स्कॉटलंड येथे पलायन केले आहे. माध्यमांनी तिचे नाव ‘ झिप्पी ‘ असे ठेवलेले असून जहाजात बसून ही खारूताई हजारो किलोमीटरचा प्रवास करून स्कॉटलंड येथे दाखल झालेली होती. जहाजातील कर्मचाऱ्यांना याची कोणतीच कल्पना नसल्याने तिला पकडल्यानंतर वाइल्डलाइफ ऍनिमल रेस्क्यू सेंटर येथे ठेवण्यात आलेले आहे. डीप एक्सप्लोरर नावाच्या…

You’re an incredibly rude, paranoid, and selfish brat considering how you’re so quick to accuse people of racism, sexism, and whatever without bothering to dig deeper into who they are. Maybe it’s a northern Irish thing. Jerk.

You know, I’m not sure if you’ve noticed, but not once have I ever identified the person whom the topic of blocking is about. I’ve censored the name in every ask I’ve received about them. That’s because I’m not trying to start a witch-hunt: my only wish is to block and move on.

Also trying to insult my nationality lmao. There’s no-one on the planet who could hate Northern Ireland more than Northern Irish people lol

The Impossible Imposter - A Nancy Drew Among Us Crack Fanfiction

I wrote this at midnight last night to celebrate my 20th birthday. This is probably the most stupid thing I’ve ever written.

Here’s the AO3 link!

Rating: Teen and Up Audiences

Characters: Bess Marvin, Sonny Joon, Mason Quinto, Alec Fell, Dwayne Powers, Ethel Bossiny, Jacques Brunais, Lou Talbot, Brady Armstrong, Harper Thornton

Word Count:  2224

Here’s the fic!

[Camera pans to table with a button in the center, ten individuals stand around. The smallest in pink is BESS MARVIN, the tallest JACQUES BRUNAIS in purple, DWAYNE POWERS in red, ALEC FELL in green, SONNY JOON in cyan, MASON QUINTO in blue, ETHEL BOSSINY in white, HARPER THORNTON in black, BRADY ARMSTRONG in lime, LOU TALBOT in yellow.]

[All crew members eye each other, each suspicious of the others. MASON QUINTO leans on the table.]

MASON: Alright, since no one wants to talk, I’ll do it. We each have tasks right? Let’s do them. We’ve got to go and get to our destination.

BRADY: But where are we going?

[Silence.]

ALEC: Good question. We were never really told where we’re going. We just are here… I guess.

{ALEC CONFESSIONAL: Instantly, I thought Mason was suspicious, but he’s just like that I’ve realized. He’s always up to something, whether it’s being an asshole or a dick or a genius. Depends.}

[SONNY slams hands on the table.]

SONNY: Let’s yeet !

[Crowd disperses, leaving LOU in the cafeteria to empty the garbage]

{LOU CONFESSIONAL: I wanted to go in a group, just so I wouldn’t be alone. I hate it here. But like, you know, they were all so fast. Going by all zippy-zoom.}

[In ADMIN, BESS MARVIN struggles while swiping her card.]

BESS: C’mon! Just work!

[DWAYNE enters, eyes squinted at her. They both watch each other warily. BESS’s card still won’t scan. DWAYNE heads toward the wires.]

BESS: Please, please, please, please…

{BESS CONFESSIONAL: Dwayne freaks me out. He’s so… Unhinged. I’ve heard everything he’s done! Even if he isn’t the imposter, he’d probably kill us all anyway!}

[DWAYNE leaves.]

BESS: [releaved] Oh, thank God.

[In ELECTRICAL, BRADY is struggling with wires.]

BRADY: [puts two wires together and shocks himself] Ouch!

[HARPER enters, laughing to herself.]

BRADY: Hi, Harper. [shocks himself again] Ow.

{BRADY CONFESSIONAL: Harper is scary. She just is. I’ve heard rumors that she’s actually, like, crazy. I don’t want to believe them, since I like to see the best in people and it helps with my celebrity image, but she’s… Just scary.}

[HARPER helps fix the wires with him.]

HARPER: Maybe if you’d put the wires together in the right way you wouldn’t die so fast.

BRADY: Huh?

HARPER: Oh, nothing, hon.

{HARPER CONFESSIONAL: My condescending cousin says that all the time and it makes others feel awful, so I thought I’d give it a try. [loud laugh] It worked!}

[Without any warning, OXYGEN DEPLETION ALARM goes off. Both crew members look each other in the eye and then run off down the hall.]

[ADMIN at OXYGEN CONTROL PANEL, MASON is typing in the deactivation code.]

{MASON CONFESSIONAL: I expected to be the only one doing anything about this, but deep inside me I didn’t want it to be that way. You know, I could totally just not do anything and then we’d all die. But I actually want to live, unlike some people apparently.}

[SONNY runs in, then runs out to the other PANEL, CAMERA FOLLOWS]

{SONNY CONFESSIONAL: I’m only here for the aliens. If they’re anywhere, it’s space. Also, these suits are cool.}

[SONNY almost runs into ALEC, who is also headed to the PANEL.]

{ALEC CONFESSIONAL: Sonny… What a guy. I have no idea what to think of him. But he does have a file where I work. Which is classified.}

[ALEC and SONNY run to the PANEL where DWAYNE is inputting the code.]

DWAYNE: [smiles] Ah, greetings.

ALEC: Aye, greetings.

SONNY: [waves]

[All three men stare at each other for a long moment until a DEAD BODY is REPORTED and the ALARM sounds.]

[CAFETERIA, where all but two crew members meet. LOU and JACQUES are missing from the group. BRADY, who reported the bodies, is quiet. ALEC speaks up.]

ALEC: Where were they?

BRADY: Reactor. It was only Jacques I saw.

ALEC: Did you see anyone?

BRADY: [shrugs] No. But Harper is giving me mad sus vibes.

[In the back of the room, HARPER is sitting on a chair in the shadows, laughing in the darkness.]

HARPER: Oh, good! I was afraid I was the only one who thought so! You are right not to trust me.

MASON: What’s that supposed to me?

HARPER: You decide. Though, I figure that young man is only trying to cast suspicion on me.

BRADY: Not really--

HARPER: Well, if you insist, I’ll tell you. I am an Imposter. [stands up, hands on her hips] Y’all better be afraid if you know what’s good for you.

{BESS CONFESSIONAL: Well, I’m betting that either she’s bluffing of the other Imposter is really, really angry right now. I honestly can’t tell if she’s lying or not. But… She does scare me.}

[TIMER counts down. All crew members have to vote within 30 seconds.]

BRADY: [holding black flag, HARPER’s color] I vote Harper. I don’t want to risk it.

BESS: [holds up grey flag] I’m going to skip this round. I can’t tell whether she’s… You know…

SONNY: Evil?

BESS: [blushes] Yeah…

SONNY: [holds up black flag] Well I think she’s super sus so I’m voting for her.

MASON: [holds up black flag] Might as well go with the rest.

{MASON CONFESSIONAL: Democracy, am I right?}

ETHEL: [holds up black flag] I also vote for Harper.

[BESS, SONNY, BRADY, and ALEC are startled, shrieking a bit each. ETHEL is unphased, looking as calm as ever.]

{ALEC CONFESSIONAL: She’s terrifying.}

SONNY: [whispers] Oh my God, I forgot she was here.

BESS: [whispers back] Me too…

DWAYNE: [sighing loudly and holds up black flag] I vote for Harper. No use in voting against her.

ALEC: [holds up black flag] [says nothing]

HARPER: [holds up black flag] I also vote for me! Anywhere is better than here with all you upstairs people.

[Other crew members look at each other in confusion.]

BESS: What’s that supposed to mean?

ALEC: I have no idea.

[HARPER is ejected. Crew members await confirmation on the central screen.]

[HARPER is not An Imposter.]

ALEC: Shit!

MASON: [sighs] Well, there’s that.

BESS: [stares into the camera in fear]

{BESS CONFESSIONAL: I just want to go home.}

[Crew members have resumed activity. ALEC is in the HALLWAY, lugging around a container of GASOLINE.]

{ALEC CONFESSIONAL: So, I’m just walking in the hallway, and then Sonny just comes walking by, whistling.}

[Camera cuts to SONNY walking through the hallway, whistling and glancing at ALEC. ALEC watches him carefully.]

{ALEC CONFESSIONAL: Sonny’s just weird.}

[In MED BAY, BRADY is getting a med scan, looking at his stats.]

BRADY: They don’t have green eyes. They should have eye colors.

{BRADY CONFESSIONAL: They should!}

[MASON enters, heading straight to inspect samples. Both avoid eye contact. MASON leaves quickly. Relieved, BRADY steps down and lets out a long breath.]

BRADY: Well, that was better than I expected.

[MED BAY doors slide shut.]

BRADY: Uh oh.

[In WEAPONS, DWAYNE sits in the big chair, blasting asteroids.]

{DWAYNE CONFESSIONAL: Everyone expects me to be the Imposter ever since my stunt with Rick Arlen and my time in jail. Just because I’m a killer doesn’t mean I’m going to kill everyone! [rubs chin] It would be fun though. And if Rick Arlen were here, I’d just kill him. Being the Imposter would also be a bonus.}

[DWAYNE fires at his last asteroid, then stands up and leaves, tiptoeing down the hall.]

[SONNY is seen in the cafeteria, looking out at the stars.]

{SONNY CONFESSIONAL: You know, my grandfather always told me I was special. I always believed it. I stopped for a while, but I’m back to believing that. I believe somehow I might make contact with alien life out here. [shrugs] Who knows? Maybe they’re just vibing and waiting for me to be out there.}

[DEAD BODY is REPORTED. All crew members meet at the cafeteria. BRADY is missing. BESS, who reported the body, looks out at the crowd.]

BESS: I… I didn’t see anyone. I found Brady in the Med Bay.

MASON: That must’ve been right after I left.

ALEC: Did you see anything?

MASON: [shakes head] I try not to be in the same room as other people. I don’t know who I can trust right now.

ALEC: Aye, that’s valid.

SONNY: Well, I know who I’m voting for. [holds up green flag] Alec’s super sus.

ALEC: Why would you do that?!

SONNY: I don’t know, you’re Australian.

ALEC: I’m Scottish! From Scotland!

SONNY: Deflecting! Super sus.

{SONNY CONFESSIONAL: [rubs the back of his neck] I’ve really got to brush up on my accents. I mean, even if I did say that on purpose to throw suspicion off me-- don’t worry, I’m not that stupid--, I still need to brush up. I keep mixing up Italian with Jamaican. Don’t ask how that happens, I don’t know.}

MASON:[holds up white flag] I’m voting for Ethel. We haven’t seen her this entire time.

[All crew members look to ETHEL, who stands there and holds her hands together. She shakes her head.]

ETHEL: I assure you, I was doing tasks.

DWAYNE: [slams fist on table] Silence ! She’s guilty! Guilty !

SONNY: Yeah, that’s what they all say.

BESS: [holds up white flag] Mason has a good point.

ALEC: [holds up white flag]

{ETHEL CONFESSIONAL: I suppose I expected nothing less from them.}

[ETHEL doesn’t vote, forcing them to wait in silence for 30 seconds.]

[ETHEL is ejected. Crew members eagerly await confirmation.]

[ETHEL was An Imposter.]

[Only five members remain. Immediately, ALEC FELL heads to security. Camera follows.]

{ALEC CONFESSIONAL: I had to look at security. I had no tasks and some time to kill, so the security booth seemed like the best option for me. At least, if no one comes through the vents.}

[DWAYNE stands in NAVIGATION, downloading data. He has a scowl on his face as he angrily presses buttons.]

DWAYNE: I could have killed Rick Arlen by now.

[To his left, the vent opens up. Camera pans over. MASON QUINTO steps out, takes out a gun, and shoots DWAYNE. He smirks at the corpse in front of him for a moment, then climbs back into the vents.]

{MASON CONFESSIONAL: [cleaning off knife from his last kill] Dwayne never saw me coming. Neither did Lou. I also assisted in the killing of Brady but I’m not telling anyone who my other partner is yet. They’ll find out soon enough.}

[DEAD BODY is REPORTED. All four crew members stand around the table, all quiet. SONNY, who found the body, looks around.]

SONNY: Well, since half of us are Imposters, how about a game of rock, paper, scissors to decide who gets ejected?

MASON: No.

ALEC: How about you tell us where the body was found and who was nearby.

SONNY: No one was around and it was in navigation.

BESS: [gasps] That’s where I was right after the last meeting…

MASON: Wait, does that mean--

ALEC: No, I can confirm her whereabouts. She’s okay.

[All four stand in silence. The voting countdown begins.]

SONNY: [holds green flag] I still think it’s Alec.

ALEC: [holds up cyan flag] Och! How unexpected of you!

MASON: [holds up cyan flag] Sonny has been throwing accusations at Alec this entire time.

BESS: [looks around] I’m so sorry…

[After a long moment, Bess holds up a green flag. The voting results are tied. No one is ejected.]

[All crew members stare at each other, no one saying anything.]

{MASON CONFESSIONAL: [loads gun] All according to plan.}

[MASON takes out a gun and shots the ceiling. BESS cries out, ALEC puts a hand on her shoulder, SONNY just stares.]

MASON: Yeah. That’s right. I’m an Imposter. Now, since you know it’s me, I’m going to leave you to all sort it out between yourselves. One of you three is the last one of us.

BESS: Just tell us!

SONNY: He’d never do that.

BESS: [hugging herself] I want to go home…

ALEC: [giving her a kind smile] We all do.

[Voting countdown ends. All votes are for MASON]

{MASON CONFESSIONAL: [chuckles] Do you really think I was going to sacrifice my life for this? I’ve been planning to get ejected since the beginning. I have a small ship of my own waiting outside for me. They eject me? I call it to me and I get inside and wait until my partner executes the next step in the plan.}

[MASON is ejected. The three remaining look for confirmation even though they know the result.]

[MASON was An Imposter.]

[The lights go out. Crew members look up. No one moves. A gunshot is heard.]

[The lights come back on, revealing Bess holding a smoking gun over Sonny’s dead body.]

{BESS CONFESSIONAL: I really hate that I killed Sonny, but if I was gonna win, I needed to kill him. And you know what? I’m beginning to see why Mason and Ethel were actually having fun.}

ALEC: [turns to her, shocked] It was you?

BESS: [points gun at him] Always was .

{BESS CONFESSIONAL: Ha! Those acting classes I took last summer really paid off! And Joe was right. Reckless accusations are fun! Too bad I didn't contribute more.}

{ALEC CONFESSIONAL: [sighs] [takes a bite of a crumpet] [silence] [takes another bite] She offered me a last meal. [takes another bite and waits] I should have seen this coming.}

Stowaway squirrel ‘Zippy’ makes stunning voyage on ship from India to Scotland.

A stowaway squirrel landed in Scotland after traveling thousands of miles aboard a ship that departed from India.

Named Zippy due to his remarkable speed, the squirrel is now in the care of animal rescuers in Scotland who are trying to find a new home for the hopelessly lost rodent, according to The North East Wildlife & Animal Rescue Centre [NEW ARC] in Scotland.

James Bond: 5 Title Suggestions That Were Better Than No Time To Die (& 5 That Were Worse)

There’s been a new trend in Hollywood recently where a studio will withhold the title of an exciting upcoming blockbuster until just a couple of months before their release. Star Wars: Episode IX was only officially named The Rise of Skywalker a couple of months ago and Avengers 4 wasn’t called Endgame until the first trailer hit last December. The latest such movie is Bond 25, which is set to finally hit theaters next February, a full five years after Spectre was released, under the title No Time to Die. In that half-decade of radio silence, many Bond fans suggested their own ideas for the title of the 25th movie.

RELATED: Everything We Know (So Far) About Bond 25

Here are five Bond 25 title suggestions that were better than No Time To Die, along with five that were worse.

10 Better: All the Time in the World

This one suits the plot of a retired Bond being reluctantly pulled back into the field. It’s also a good name for a finale and this new Bond movie is set to be Daniel Craig’s final time playing 007. Usually, a “finale” isn’t necessary in the Bond franchise, since each movie stands on its own, but since Spectre insisted on tying Craig’s movies together in a long-running and supposedly cohesive narrative, a finale is necessary for this run of Bond movies.

All the Time in the World sounds more like a send-off than No Time to Die, and for that reason, it would make a better title for Daniel Craig’s last movie in the role of 007.

9 Worse: 007

This one was suggested by a fan on Reddit based on the fact that the final Wolverine movie (at least in Hugh Jackman’s series) was called Logan and the sixth Die Hard movie is rumored to be called McClane.

But the Bond franchise’s titles have never followed trends (Casino Royale very almost did with the working title Bond Begins borrowed from Christopher Nolan’s Batman Begins, but the producers wisely decided to change it) – they’ve always followed their own style. 007 isn’t a very Bond-y title. Ian Fleming would never have named one of his novels 007; at least No Time to Die sounds like a James Bond title.

8 Better: License Renewed

Bond fans didn’t want the new movie to follow the “edgy” trend that Daniel Craig’s movies have been following for the past couple with slick one-word titles, but then a superfluous title like No Time to Die seems like it’s pandering to fans and yearning for an era of Bond movies that’s simply over. License Renewed seems like a nice middle ground. It’s short and sweet, like Craig’s latest movies’ titles, and it’s not long and pontificating in a desperate attempt to sound like an Ian Fleming title.

But it does sound cool and it does allude to the Bond mythology, almost hinting at a reboot that will start fresh. As Craig’s last movie, this won’t be a fresh start, but it should strive to be a refreshing change after the disappointment of Spectre.

7 Worse: Risico

Bond fans have been waiting for the 007 producers to use this as-yet-unused Ian Fleming title for a while, but it’s hard to see why fans are pushing so hard for it. It doesn’t sound particularly riveting – or, worse yet, particularly Bond-y – and it only applies to a certain story that the movie almost definitely isn’t adapting. It would fit in with the one-word trend set by Skyfall and Spectre, but the word isn’t as captivating or mysterious as those words.

Fans spent months trying to figure out what Skyfall meant. It actually turned out to be quite a disappointing answer – it was Bond’s childhood home in Scotland – but either way, the title inspired intrigue in the fans in a way that Risico simply wouldn’t.

6 Better: The Spy That Never Sleeps

When we catch up with Bond in his 25th big-screen outing, he’ll be retired and living in Jamaica before being pulled back into action. The title The Spy That Never Sleeps would suit this premise perfectly. He tried to retire – in other words, rest, and “sleep” whenever he wanted – but it didn’t take and he was brought back in for another mission, proving that he really is the spy that never sleeps.

The Spy That Never Sleeps might sound a little more like a John le Carré novel than an Ian Fleming novel, but Fleming still used “The Spy...” titling formula for The Spy Who Loved Me.

5 Worse: Property of a Lady

Based on a number of factors – the movie’s Valentine’s Day release date, Daniel Craig’s character arc leading him to settle down into marriage, Eon’s promise that Bond 25 will address the #MeToo movement – some fans proposed Property of a Lady as a title.

Property of a Lady is one of the few titles from Ian Fleming’s original James Bond stories that the movies have yet to use (the movies have rarely adapted the actual storylines; they usually just take a title and come up with their own plot), so it makes sense. But it’s just not as exciting a title as No Time to Die.

4 Better: Carte Blanche

This title is taken from a non-Fleming Bond novel. No one was ever expecting the movie to take the plot of the novel, but there’s an elegance to the title that fans like. It’s suave, it’s sophisticated, and it’s relevant to the world of espionage.

Ever since the James Bond movies started connecting with audiences and inspiring filmmakers, there have been dozens of pale imitations, each with their own shallow attempt to replicate a Bond-style title. Frankly, No Time to Die sounds like one of these rip-offs. Carte Blanche doesn’t – it has all the qualities of a great Bond title.

3 Worse: The Death Collector

A couple of fans suggested this title, which is likely a pun based on the term “debt collector,” but it’s a stretch, it doesn’t really make sense, and it’s not a very good title. Words like “die” and “kill” are often included in Bond titles, but as verbs, these are more dynamic. “Death” just sounds grim.

We don’t want to focus too much on the human lives that Bond ends in these movies, because it’s not fun. The Death Collector sounds more like a slasher movie or a grisly crime thriller about the hunt for a serial killer than a globe-trotting, action-packed spy adventure.

2 Better: For Queen and Country

This one sounds like a real James Bond title from the Sean Connery/Roger Moore era (i.e. the era of classic Bond) in a way that none of the other Bond 25 title suggestions – and most of Daniel Craig’s existing Bond films – have failed to do. But it’s not so old-fashioned that it would feel out of place in today’s moviegoing landscape.

It would make a good title for Craig’s final Bond movie, because as the finale, it’ll need to wrap up his character arc and give him a send-off. Naming the movie after the reason that Bond travels the world and risks his life and takes down megalomaniacal villains would’ve been a good jumping-off point for that.

1 Worse: Shatterhand

This one was rumored to be the real title, or at least the working title, before those rumors are swiftly shut down by the Bond producers. Shatterhand is taken from Dr. Guntram Shatterhand, one of the many aliases used over the years by Blofeld. It would follow in the footsteps of the last couple of titles, Skyfall and Spectre – one-word titles beginning with “S” – but neither of those are classic Bond titles.

A classic Bond title is a zippy turn of phrase, usually containing the word “die,” so it was about time for the single-word “S” title trend to be broken and what better way to break it than with a phrase containing the word “die?”
