"PRISONER WAVED A FAREWELL TO FAMILY," Toronto Star. March 11, 1913. Page 14. --- Wife and Baby in Corridor When He Was Sent Down Into the Cells. --- CASES IN POLICE COURT ---- Man Accused of Beating Wife Begs for Mercy, But Fails to Get Freedom. ---- Walter Heald, who pleaded guilty to stealing a quantity of jewelry from his employer, Thomas Cuff, was dismissed by Magistrate Denison to-day on the assurance of Mr. Cuff that he would take Heald back into his employ, and watch over him and see that he could get even with the game again.

"I shall discharge you," said the magistrate, "because the spirit evinced by your employer is so rare that it would be a shame to discourage it."

Solomon Siegel, accused of picking pockets, was committed for trial before a jury, and was let out on bail of $1,000.

Wife Complains. John Andrews' sobbing in the dock moved everyone in the court-room but Alice Andrews, his wife, who laid a charge against him for doing bodily harm to her.

"I worship my wife," cried Andrews, "and I don't know why I scratched her. She was nagging because I had taken a couple of drinks, and got me into a rage."

"I'll send you down for three days, and we will examine the case in the meantime."

Andrews clung to the rail, and begged the magistrate, the constables, and the prisoners not to torture him "down there." Both he and his wife are young, married not more than two years.

Arthur Francis, the young man who is accused of passing bogus checks on boarding house landladies, was committed for trial on the charge of forgery, and is remanded in Jail until his trial. During the time he was in the dock Francis was peering out the door of the court-room, where his wife and two-year-old baby were sitting in the corridor. Francis antics to catch the baby's eye, and his waving and kiss-throwing were pathetic in the extreme, and even the court-room constables, whose thundering "sit down!" greets any movement on the part of prisoners, were touched a little, and cleared a path for the baby to see through.

Only One Woman. There was only one sentence handed out in the Women's Police Court to-day, and that was to Bertha Jacobs, who was sent to the Mercer for three months, for keeping a house of ill-fame.

An unfortunate case is that of Alex McPherson, who pleaded guilty to vagrancy, and who was handed over to the Salvation Army. McPherson has been suffering from heart weakness for years, and came to this city two weeks ago from a farm district around Galt and Berlin, to find some relatives he thought were here. Now he wants to get back to the farms, and the Salvation Army will find him some work, to enable him to pay his way.

Domestic Trouble. "I married Henry Chapman five years ago," said Mrs. Mary Chapman. in giving her evidence in a case of non-support. "He gets drunk and he deserted me for three weeks-left me alone to feed twenty-three starving chickens."

"Do you want to go back to your husband?"

"Yes! I was married for life and not for five years!"

Chapman claims that his wife was always nagging at him, and the case was adjourned till the 18th.

Robert H. Wood was committed for trial on a charge of committing assaults on two little girls, four and six years old.

After being set up in the plumbing business by William Marshall, George Brown started signing his friend's name to notes and L.LO.U's and defrauded Marshall out of $13.50, for which Brown was given a month in jail.

"I bought him a horse and wagon," said Marshall, "and put him on to the game in the plumbing business. Then I began to receive notes with my name forged."

Preyed On a Woman. Three months in the Central Prison were given to Wilber Ryan, for being an inmate of a house of ill-fame kept by Mary Howard. The Morality Department put forward facts showing that Ryan was keeping the Howard girl, who is still quite young, for immoral purposes. The house was raided, the girl sentenced and frequenters fined.

Ryan lived at the house, and had no visible means of support beyond what money was earned by Mary Howard.

The Department's record shows that this girl had a baby a couple of years Lago, and that since then she has been identified with houses run by Ryan.

"Three months in Central," said Magistrate Denison," and hereafter an eye will be kept on you! We will look for further light on your life."

really fucking sick and tired of people who really fucking love the eddie book jumping on people who don't like or are even remotely critical of it's posts and like crusading their opinions around from the top of their high horses and shoving it down our throats.

if you like the book, great! that's awesome! love that for you! i am genuinely glad that you were able to find good in it and enjoy it!!

but not everyone did, and not everyone is going to agree with you. so, instead of going on some grand crusade where you find every single post that includes anything even remotely negative or negative adjacent or even neutrally critical and spending ALL this time and effort trying to provide unwanted rebuttals to every single thing, maybe you should just stay in your lane and find people who DO like the book and chat about it with them.

because i can PROMISE YOU, none of us appreciate it when you come onto our posts and start accusing us of "hating on" the author or "being rude" about her and her work and RIDICULOUS shit like that.

being critical of something and pointing out it's flaws is NOT inherently hating on it. i, frankly, do not know where people got that notion, but it's not fucking true so can we fucking quit assuming it is? and, critiquing something is also NOT the same as saying this is shit and it sucks and the author is a piece of garbage. again, where the fuck that came from is beyond me. you can be critical of something and still enjoy it. as soooo many of you love to point out, it's not perfect, why should it be perfect? so D U H. of course that means criticism can and should arise???

also. hot take (by which i mean ice fucking cold because it's NOT a fucking hot take), but going around toting FALSE facts as part of your "defense" does not make you or your argument look good. you, like the author, should maybe do a basic fact check first. 🙃

tldr, if you like the book, that's genuinely great, but stay in your fucking lane and stop seeking out posts from people who didn't like it to start shit in the notes.

#flight of icarus #stranger things #this has happened to me and to so many of my friends and im fucking SICK of it #i didn't even hate the book either!! i thought it was just okay #and yet i STILL get all these book lovers jumping down my throat about things i say about the book #things that - HONESTLY are not even like that scathing!!!!! #like god damn all im asking for is a little BASIC effort from the author and they all think thats me asking for her head on a platter #its NOT #i have no problem with the author #she's whatever to me honestly just a vessel through which the book was given to us #ALSO she is some nebulous blob way outside my orbit. AS IN any critiques i have of her and her work are NOT direct assaults on her??? #like i dont fucking KNOW her #im not saying any of this to her face #she is a published writer she should KNOW the risks she is taking when she publishes her writing #not everyone is going to like it! there are going to be people who are critical of it! there are going to be people who hate it! #critiques and pointing out mistakes and wishing for things to have been different is not a fucking direct attack #those things are actually pretty fucking common responses to ANYTHING #and a lot of times theyre actually meant as useful helpful things geared towards improvement and not something to tear someone down with #some people on the internet need to go touch grass and learn how to CRITICALLY THINK again #the world is not as black and white as you think #n e ways. rant over. if you stuck around through all of that kudos to you. i am just. at the end of my rope with this bullshit.

The United States is destabilized thanks to the NRA, Russia, the gun lobby, right-wing oligarchs and their puppets.

War torn third world states have less violence. We’re not safe anywhere.

"LORD MONTAGU FOUND GUILTY OF ASSAULT," Kingston Whig-Standard. June 22, 1933. Page 1. ---- Fined $20 and Costs on Being Convicted at Victoria, B.C. --- VICTORIA, B.C., June 22 - Lord Edward Montagu was found guilty of common assault on the person of John Forbes on June 15 and was fined $20 and $7 costs or in default ten days in jail by Magistrate Jay yesterday afternoon. C. W. Brooks, co-defendant, was found guilty of assault causing grievous bodily harm and was fined $50 and $7 costs or in default one month in jail.

The case arose out of a cruise of Lord Edward's gasboat Merman from Victoria to Vancouver. The craft went ashore on Jones Island, and was ultimately taken for repairs to Sidney, Vancouver Island. When the boat returned to Shell Island to pick up two of the crew left there a fight took place.

Magistrate Jay remarked that both were responsible for the "helpless, drunken condition" of Forbes, and the conduct of both was "reprehensible." There was no doubt, the Magistrate continued, that Lord Edward lost his temper on Shell Island. Brooks had used unnecessary violence considering Forbe's condition, and the two blows he struck were unjust. The Magistrate agreed that some of Forbes's bruises were the result of falling into the cockpit of the boat.

always wild to see people freak out over dark romance novels when you know they're also like... Spuffy shippers? or something along those lines?

I mean, I have no issue with that lmao, I've had ships that are on the same level, but I don't know, it's just like... are you romanticizing the thing you're shipping to the point that you don't recognize its own darkness, or are you fully aware of that and just knowingly hypocritical?

#romance novel blogging #every week twitter declares that society is crumbling because of silly dark romance novels #and usually not even the REAL dark shit lmao #and every week it is the dumbest moral panic i've ever seen #but yeah dude it when you can literally see people with the WILDEST ships handwringing that i get really confused #like okay so the books are undermining women #but the women falling in love with their attempted rapists onscreen... are not.................. #and to clarify to me it's just a quality of the work thing; the content itself there doesn't concern me #I MYSELF do not think spuffy as an example was handled well and the context of joss being who he is #retroactively makes it worse than a dark romance written by some random very normal lady keying into common fantasies #like mitzie or heather or whoever doesn't want to go out there and assault someone. probably #whereas joss..................... #wasn't allowed to be alone in a room w a teenage girl #and that isn't every showrunner ofc but a lot of visual representations of trauma #and romanticizations of these relationships onscreen are often written by people of the same gender as the perpetrator #whereas dark romance is often written by women--sometimes even women working out their own shit #and idk i'm kind of making that realization in real time as two why one bugs me more than the other #PERSONALLY speaking #and ofc that doesn't absolve women of handling SA whether it's romanticized or not badly #and CERTAINLY sa is not inherent to dark romance #which i think is a common misconception #dark romance in terms of genre is not 'rape and abuse as romance' it's honestly pretty broad #ANYWAY. thoughts over #just focus on the people who are actually preying on others plsthx

Well, I'm getting to the point in RangerCamp where I have to start writing dialogue for the Rangers. And as every time I start trying to think of things for them to say my brain freezes up and I've never heard of these characters before in my life, I'm going to have to try to crowdsource.

The Rangers involved in the mod are Candaith, Radanir, Lothrandir, Corunir, and Golodir. Please let me know if you can think of random comments they might make to the player as you play!

For reference, here's a sampling of the kinds of things Skyrim AI is able to react to:

Player health

Player race

Vampire/werewolf status

What kind of clothes the player is wearing (light armor, heavy armor, mage robes, etc.)

Specific articles of clothing

What kind of weapon the player has equipped (both in the sense of daggers vs. warhammers and to a limited extent details like whether it's Daedric, what it's made of, etc.)

Player skill level (I.E. if you have a high pickpocket skill -- "Hands to yourself, sneak thief," etc. etc.)

Location types (like bandit camps, towns, Nord or Dwemer ruins, military camps, etc. etc)

Specific locations

Items the player has in their inventory

Enemy races

Enemy weapon/magic types

Player faction/crime rankings

Most of these things in combination

Probably other things I've forgotten about right now! Bethesda built a really involved system that they could have used to make followers interact with the player and then....... only used it for Serana......

Note #1: Getting followers in Skyrim to follow you is harder than it sounds (and probably should be). In order to avoid common glitches and in porting the player/ranger relationship over from LotRO (and to allow for basic debugging that I have found necessary to Skyrim gameplay in general), I have made it so that they will tolerate any crime committed by the player. In intention, this is to allow for them generally trusting the player and assuming that you have a good reason for doing illegal things like breaking and entering. (And to prevent them from randomly becoming hostile if you ask them to pick things up, and then hunting you across the entire map trying to murder you after you dismiss them. UTHGERD.)

In practice, you can attempt to murder a child in front of them and they will cheerfully join in. I would say that obviously I would never do this, but, I mean. I'm learning. I needed to understand how the NPC morality system worked.

Please don't do this.

More to the point of this discussion, there is no possibility of them ever saying, "No I'm not going to do that," or, "Maybe you shouldn't do that." They are 100% on board with literally anything you care to do or to ask them to do.

Note #2: I'm not really trying to work the Rangers into the lore of Tamriel at all. I don't think I could do that in a way that satisfied me and didn't bastardize both worlds' lore. So. No trying to tie them into the specifics of Tamriel's worldspace or explain how they got there please.

I also may not be able to include any given suggestion on account of the system to get NPCs to say things is real finnicky. Mostly it's a matter of loading an NPC with a line, pointing it in the right general direction, and hoping it hits your target, and sometimes it doesn't. See: guards in vanilla Skyrim commiserating with me on how stupid and unwieldy warhammers are while I actively have one equipped, I believe because I also had a high one-handed on that character? Anyhow. If the line interacts badly with the backend or doesn't hold up while testing then I won't use it, unfortunately.

#rangercamp #technically theres a way to make them be okay with stealing and sneaking around #but not violent crimes like assault and murder #unfortunately skyrim npcs do not recognize vampires #specifically this is why i decided to make them okay with violent crime #because if you the player see a vampire and decide to get the first hit in before it attacks you #theyll get mad #because they cant see the glowing red eyes ig who even knows #i think this is a glitch but its an extremely common one so i have to work around it

It's a shame Armageddon came out the same year, was about a similar thing and sucked ass, cause Deep Impact was a really really good movie about being human and especially the relationships between parents and children that made me genuinely cry at least thrice.

#Watched them back to back with a friend #And I have to agree with Roger Ebert's description of Armageddon as #'an assault on the eyes; the ears; the brain; common sense and the human desire to be entertained' #It sucked ass in so many different ways #Like Ebert couldn't've known to describe it this way in 1998 #But Armageddon felt like the post-9/11 version of Deep Impact in terms of having way less heart and way more jingoism #But also I cannot be more clear about this: It sucked ass #Really unwatchable shitshow #For fucks sake they had Ben Affleck trying to be sexy while discussing and using Animal Crackers #Just upsetting on many levels really #HE STUCK AN ANIMAL CRACKER DOWN LIV TYLER'S UNDERWEAR #While Aerosmith's 'I don't wanna miss a thing' played in the background #And that's before all the ways that it annoys me personally as someone who knows a lot about space and NASA and the like #Which are more technical complaints that I could forgive if anything else was good about the movie

I’m on my second listen, and just finished But Daddy I love him, and it is so fearlessly arranged. i felt the “YOU, you should see your face” in the very end like a slap in the face because of the drums and the fury in the way she delivers it. The whole song is very theatrical (hello little mermaid I see u I luv u and all u symbolize), and walked me straight through the years long experience of defending whatever partner (that was functioning as self harm) I brought home to my parents and how parental reactions (and in Taylor’s case, the wider paternalizing public) reinforce patterns. It’s very Speak Now.

And I love how she leans into the symbol of “baby” and uses it to talk about the shame/scandal/sensuality of forbidden love but also the prize to be won at the happily ever after. What happens when shame and intimacy get twisted, and someone takes andvantage of that? or when the elders at town hall are a corrupt judicial system? We double down, we insist, and we exercise autonomy over the one thing we feel we have control over, ending a relationship. It’s all about the choice, it’s so so relatable. It reminds me a lot of Dolly Parton’s Down From Dover.

#But daddy I love him #bdilh #c #wouldve could’ve should’ve hours #Trauma #putting this down here because it is heavy speculation. But. I think that this song is deeply deeply relatable on a fundamental level to #The very common experience of someone who has been hit (or betrayed in some big way) by their partner for the first time. Big TW: #And the subtext of all those images in the song…. Reads as miscarriage to me. And pregnancy is one of the highest predictors of #assault #In a relationship. And assault at that time can commonly lead to miscarriage. #So those are just facts- and I don’t even say all this to accuse anyone of anything. Just that it is a scarily common experience #That women have been having for generations. And a common cause of that hysteria dx or institutionalization. #And Taylor- as a sort of patron saint of women- has been known to make her own experiences ambiguous so as to be relatable #She has also been known to be diaristic. Both are true #All that to say: I think this song is very important. And will be helpful to a lot of people. #Symbol: baby #Speculation #Ptsd #Down from dover

      Does Johnny have a favorite movie he's made?

      Well,   aside from Ninja Mime,   and his tendency for extravagance and to brag about every movie he was in,   Johnny personally,   and secretly,   prefers the movies that required authentic martial art styles and well choreographed fighting sequences,   some of those are :   Dragon Fist 1   &.   2,   Son of Dragon Fist,   Exiting the Dragon of Death,   7 Poisons,   Iron claw,   24 Karate Gold.   After all,   he was and still is a Martial artist before he is an actor,   and admittedly,   his first movies weren't a hit because of his acting,   he gained fame through showcasing his skills as a fighter.   Despite his poor performance in delivering lines when he began acting,   he was still highly requested in upcoming action movies because of what he could offer and the fact that he doesn't rely on stunt doubles to do the work,   it was all him and he makes a point of maintaining that work ethic to this day.   When he had gotten to love the profession,   [   provided that it was a combination of the two things he loved most,   cinema magic and action   ],   he took on acting lessons and starred in what some became award winning movies,   but the one that holds a special place for him is   sudden violence,   it was when he had began to truly enjoy acting,   the crew and cast were the amazing to work with,   he enjoyed the process through and though.   The movie got him the breakthrough he needed in his career   &.   his very first award,   he was still young and an entire horizon of possibilities had just opened for him,   he feels like he owes his success to that movie in particular.
