Nbc news reports this:
“
A transgender man was found dead with his face skinned off, local media reported.
The Tokyo Metropolitan Police told NBC News that 38-year-old Yoshi Tsuchida’s body was discovered wrapped in a blanket at his apartment in the Fussa City area on the outskirts of the Japanese capital on Thursday

There are several Japanese news sources getting this out to the world but at this time those same sources have not been verified completely ..

Tokyo Transgender Man Found Dead With Face Skinned Off

This is a disturbing story..
I sense mental issue at play or perhaps something more devilish..

At this point, the property’s former resident, a 45-year-old woman, has not been found, but police are questioning several other people..

It was unclear how long the babies had been dead or who, if anyone, was living there at the time of the discovery.

And so far that’s the story.. Sure to change and update as more information becomes known..

This morning’s headlines .. Jihadi John may be dead.. May be alive..
But Will we ever know what green screen was used to film the infamous videos ??
All developing today on 24/7 snooze networks on the planet earth.

New planetary finds hailed as breakthroughs

One of these days everything we have ever known about ‘life’ will change in an instant.. We are just buying time until the great unveiling ..

A part of this time purchase:

Commenting on one of the planets, Brad Tucker, an astronomer from Mount Stromlo Observatory in Canberra, Australia who was not involved in the research, said it “probably gives us the best chance for life outside our solar system right now.”
“One of the goals of astronomy and astrophysics and finding these planets is firstly to really find another Earth,” he added. “And part of the reason of finding another Earth is that we ultimately do want to find life in the universe. It’s a question that weighs on everyone’s mind.

It’s called GJ 1132b.

And it’s the best place to find life –at least known at the current moment..

New planetary finds hailed as breakthroughs

Sometimes in life when you build your own jail cell, the beautiful view of the outside world will be haunting. Make today be a day you plan your breakout.

Good Morning world.

Sounds good to me..

Great article by LUKEW.COM on web design: Placing elements at the top of the screen does not guarantee they are visible because people often scroll right away. So just because something is “above the fold” does not mean it gets noticed.

This is something important to remember when designing a blog. 
And just think about it the next time you go to a website.. Chances are you figure the ads are at the top and you quickly scroll right through . Here on Coal Speaker you miss my cartoon mug.. Other than that, content is king. People want content and what is real.. 

And what is real is so often ignored by web designers just lagging behind the times of modernism. 

Which means.. above the fold doesn’t exist.

There is a secret about Matt Drudge.. He posted this as his headline today along with Twitter messages showcasing his belief that Hillary Clinton wears a wig. The top image shows her with a ravaged look, tired and old.. the perfect hair with smiles below is the most modern Clinton campaigner we have seen in 2015..

The truth is: Matt Drudge is secretly longing for Hillary to win. It would be four to eight years of his brand only becoming more branded.. four to eight years of his ability to utilize the Clintons’ most likely scandals for his endeavors online. 

And let’s face it.. Drudge has been running since the mid 90s. IF he chooses to give it up sooner rather than later, what else would be perfect but ending his website at the same time the second term of Hillary completes?
A storybook journalistic ending…

Mother Earth is breathing heavily! Forest ground moves in Canada

Mother Earth is breathing heavily! Forest ground moves in Canada

Good grief

From the AP:

SAN DIEGO (AP) — A former child actor who was the voice of Charlie Brown in beloved “Peanuts” TV specials has pleaded guilty to making criminal threats.

Fifty-nine-year-old Peter Robbins of Oceanside entered pleas Tuesday. He’s facing four years and eight months in prison.

Authorities say Robbins threatened to harm a mobile home park manager and San Diego County Sheriff Bill Gore, offering $50,000 to have Gore killed.

Robbins said the threats stem from his bipolar disorder and paranoid schizophrenia.

Two years ago, Robbins pleaded guilty to threatening a former girlfriend and her plastic surgeon.

From age 9 to 13, Robbins was the voice of Charlie Brown in a series of 1960s animated classics, including “A Charlie Brown Christmas” and “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.”

THANK A VETERAN.

Even better.. let’s give them adequate health care.. mental health services.. respect.. gratitude.. love.. thanks.. and proper abilities to ease back into civilian life after seeing combat.

That would be a mighty fine way to thank a Veteran..

Pretty fascinating article from the NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC in its December edition: How the Virgin Mary became the most powerful woman in the world..

Along with the article: A map of the world and every location where the Virgin Mary was spotted or sighted, or where she was said to appear to give a message.. places like Rwanda.. places like 

Medjugorje.. 

People in my local area in Pennsylvania think she even appeared on a garage door in 2007. Which I assume made the map.

A French village priest who smashed a statue of Jesus in his church has blamed the stress and fatigue of his job for an act which shocked his congregation. Jean-Jacques Le Roy, 55, a priest in Plestin-les-Greves in Brittany, shouted out "one less!" as he threw the statue to the ground last Thursday during a visit by a sacred art commission.

The AFP reported that one.

Real stuff..

People are getting weird everywhere.

PLEASE SAVE ME FROM THIS CUP DEBATE

Every year.. it’s something. This year it’s cups. Cups of coffee from Dunkin feature holiday themes.. Starbucks changed to red but eliminated the ‘joy.’  A crisis has begun.. presidential candidates have put off talking about things that matter and delved deep into this issue.. It’s all the rage to be enraged. 

 From one societal realm to the next, we’re angry. Angry about what we saw online.. angry about television shows. Angry at, yes even this, the cardboard future-pollution we are holding in our life-stained hands..

Atrocious things that mean something are ignored..

Missiles are launching over the West Coast with continuous silent marches towards World War III.. starving people. Children suffering. . endless awful atrocities..

And cups.

Red cups.

Is this the media paying attention to what we are paying attention to, or diverting us from what needs to be seen? It’s a mystery to me.

Me and my red cup.

so the big reveal was... pseudo-chat?

notentirely:

seriously? this is why @staff took away the ability to comment directly on a post?

how about *not* taking away functionality that i used, and i used it a lot (regardless of what @support told @david about it “rarely being used”). how about instead of degrading the service, perhaps choose to *add* to it instead.

fine. we have this chat thing. great. lovely.

but give us back post replies.

i’m not a change-averse cranky hack. 8.5 years as a tumblr, 20 years as a UX professional, and a lifetime waiting for the community i’ve so happily found here. this is where i’m coming from.

give us back our replies. i enjoy getting them, i enjoy leaving them.

it wasn’t broken.

I concur with this from @notentirely .. It’s a point well made and I could not have said it better myself..
I’m always considering moving this to a self hosted blog.. That just became a higher probability likelihood given the circumstances that the few still cool things about Tumblr are being Yahoo!ed away..

Karl-e-diem! Seize the replies. Make our posts extraordinary again..
