- This could very well redefine the term O.G. An 80-year-old
woman in Poland is proving that you’re never too old to be a no-morals thug
ripping people off of everything they have in their pockets by means of
cunning, deception and of course, drugs. Police claim the woman drugged and
stole from a string of suitors she met through dating ads in her local
newspaper -- a crime that could put her behind bars for 20 years, which seems a
bit ridiculous because this woman may not live another 20 months at her age.
According to prosecutors, the suspect, identified as Janina M., would sneak the
powerful sedative lorazepam into her victims' food, lulling them to sleep
during what they thought was a romantic meal.” One especially glaring case
involved this woman allegedly snatching $2,000 in cash, jewelry and electronics
from a 78-year-old man who'd invited her to his home in Szczurow, east of
Krakow. "I'd never have imagined this lady was capable of doing something
like this, nor that she's 80," prosecutor Andrzej Lesniak said. Precisely,
A. That’s what makes her such a badass, because even though court records show
she's been convicted of theft and fraud eight previous times, she’s managed to
convince a lot of people that she’s not that bad of a person. Using lorazepam,
commonly prescribed to treat anxiety, is a deadly tactic if it is combined with
alcohol or other drugs, but this woman was willing to push the limits in order
to fund her criminal lifestyle in the final years of her thoroughly
unscrupulous life……….
- “Suicide Squad” may be getting crushed by many critics and
fans, but the producers of TV's “Gotham” are apparently impressed by what
they’ve seen. The Fox drama apparently plans to introduce characters made
popular by the blockbuster movie. Executive producer John Stephens revealed
that a "forerunner" for Margot Robbie's character Harley Quinn and a
"proto-version"of Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje's Killer Croc will appear
in episodes of the show…at some point. "That might just be, like, Reddit
talk for, 'We haven’t quite figured it out.'" Stephens said. "It's
sort of like you see the first version of it, and you see how it comes from
[that] after-the-fact. As if you see someone who has a scientific anomaly so
their skin grows in a certain way, and [you say], 'Oh, I'm gonna take that and
grow Killer Croc from that in the future.'" He added that Cameron
Monaghan's character Jerome's genesis into The Joker will continue to develop
during the show's upcoming third season, which also links to “Suicide Squad”
because Jared Leto delivered his own unique take on the character in the film.
"It's about developing the myth of The Joker, just like we're developing
the myth of Batman. It's so we can stretch him over multiple seasons,” Stephens
said of his show’s take on the Joker. “The cult of The Joker began, and we'll explore
how that deepens and changes this year. There are underground movements where
they talk about Jerome." Ah, the vaunted underground movement, always such
an important part of the process………
- Navigation apps are one of the smartphone era’s true mixed
bags. On one hand, they often provide relatively accurate guidance to one’s
destination, helping navigate unfamiliar areas and avoid traffic delays. On the
other hand, they can sometimes send people to completely unrelated locations
from where they intended to go, putting their life in danger in the process.
The current situation in a residential area of Southington, Connecticut falls
somewhere in the middle. A GPS quirk is sending people to a residential area
instead of an amusement park and the unhappiest people in this situation are
residents in the Mount Vernon Road area, who say the situation is making their
lives miserable and causing traffic issues in their neighborhood. Folks like
Mary Sargent are trying to help get lost drivers on the right path to Lake
Compounce in Bristol, but claim the problem has lingered for months on end. The
GPS problem leads drivers to a service entrance on Lake Avenue, from which they
all end up at where Welch Road, Mount Vernon Road and Lake Avenue meet and have
to do a U-turn to get back on track. "We have had constant traffic issues
with out of state cars and tour buses that are constantly going by our houses,”
Sargent said. In response, she posted a homemade sign, but of course that
hasn’t really made much of an impact. The GPS issue stems from folks being sent
to Lake Avenue if they're looking for Lake Compounce, with the navigation apps
directing them to a service entrance at 822 Lake Ave. in Southington instead of
186 Enterprise Drive in Bristol. Lake Compounce representatives claim they’ve
tried for two years to get Google Maps and Nav Tek, which provides information
for Tom Tom, Garmin and other GPS devices, to fix the issue, but to no avail.
Maybe it’s time to pull a Trump and build a wall to keep out the unwanted…….
- Because #ConorMcGregor. He hasn’t fought in months and
pissed away his chance to headline UFC 200 due to his own macho head games with
Dana White and Co., but the Irish MMA sensation remains one of his sport’s
biggest personalities and it should surprise no one that he’s picking a wholly
pointless fight with a quasi-sport at which he would probably excel. McGregor,
who will return to the octagon next month, is basically UFC’s equivalent of a
World Wrestling Entertainment superstar, decided to take a run at the
entire WWE roster after being asked if
he was interested in one day participating in the world of sports
entertainment. “For the most part, those WWE guys are [expletive], to be
honest,” McGregor said. “They’re messed up [expletive], if you ask me. Fair
play to Brock [Lesnar], he got in and fought, but at the end of the day he was
juiced up to the [expletive] eyeballs, so how can I respect that?” He did throw
a slight dose of respect to Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Paul “Triple H” Levesque
and the McMahon family by calling them “dons,” but doubled down on the hate on
social media by tweeting that he “didn’t mean no disrespect to the @wwe fans.
What I meant to say was that I’d slap the head off your entire roster. And
twice on Sunday’s.” Thanks for clearing that up, C. Just know that once your 15
minutes of UFC fame are up, you’re basically on track to become the Bizarro
C.M. Punk. You already have the disheveled look, tattoos and beard, so embrace
your destiny……….
