Could Lexa’s Death On ‘The 100’ Be Viewed Positively By The LGBT Community?

Could Lexa’s Death On ‘The 100’ Be Viewed Positively By The LGBT Community?:

The INQUISITIR writes,

Is it possible that Lexa’s death on The 100 could actually be viewed in a positive way by the LGBT community? At the moment, there are thousands of people angry and frustrated at the removal of a lesbian character, but there could be another way to look at this.

There were valid points when The 100 decided to suddenly kill off Lexa. It showed that Jason Rothenberg was going in the same direction as so many other shows: bringing in gay characters just to get rid of them. There are very few shows on TV that support gay and lesbian characters, and most of them will kill them off in some way. Supernatural faced backlash for killing off Charlie during Season 10 for no reason.

Meanwhile, on the controversy:

• The 100: Alycia Debnam-Carey on Fan Reaction to Lexa’s Fate
  
• 'The 100’ Season 3: Titles For Episodes 10-14 Revealed
  
• Alycia Debnam-Carey reflects on that Lexa twist and the 'incredible …
  

From IGN:

As for her own reaction when she heard how Lexa’s story would go in Season 3, Debnam-Carey said, “I was just like, ‘Oh, I’ve got to do this really well! I’ve got to make sure I work really hard and do the character justice.’ Which is hard because that show, we run so quickly and we work really fast, so you’re never quite able to perfect anything, I think. But which also makes it so alive, because it’s constantly moving and developing as you’re filming.”

Spoiler warning for future events of The 100 follow…

Debnam-Carey was seen on the set of the Season 3 finale of The 100, but when I asked her what she could say about that appearance, she laughed and coyly replied, “What was the question? Can I talk about it? No.”

Madonna exposes 17 YEAR OLD fan's breast onstage

Madonna exposes 17 YEAR OLD fan's breast onstage:

MORE.. 

Madonna invited a 17-year-old fan onstage during her concert Thursday night in Brisbane, Australia, and then pulled down the teen’s corset top to briefly reveal her left breast…

There is a silver lining: The 17 YEAR OLD underage girl called it the best moment of her life. ET ONLINE reports on the moment it occurred:

The Material Girl ended up in a bit of hot water when she – seemingly accidentally – exposed a 17-year-old fan’s breast during her Rebel Heart Tour in Brisbane, Australia on Thursday.

“She’s the kind of girl you just want to slap…on the a**. And pull–” Madge said as she yanked the teen’s corset down and flashed her boob. “Oh, sh*t! I’m sorry. Sexual harassment. You can do the same to me.”

I am hesitant linking to the video.. there are some YOUTUBE accounts permitting the underage nudity.. even some showing it in SLO MO.

The conventional wisdom: MADGE should cancel her tour immediately.. go back home.. eat some applesauce and ponder her life’s existence..

Hikers found a human skull in rough terrain near the Hollywood sign in Los Angeles, authorities said. ..

The skull was close to where authorities discovered a decapitated head in 2012.

Gabriel Campos-Martinez was charged with murder in 2014 in relation to that case. He wasfound guilty last year.

"I never had the book,” he said. “I never read the book. I don’t care about the book."

LUCY JONES IS LEAVING HER JOB..*

*Those who know earthquakes know her..

From the LA TIMES dispatch:

In a city defined by celebrity, Jones has a unique kind of fame. She’s been called the Beyoncé of earthquakes, the Meryl Streep of government service, a woman breaking barriers in a man’s world.

Her son, now 25, recently texted her: “You’re on Jeopardy!” with a photo of the clue.

Authoritative yet nurturing, the “earthquake lady” has a knack for making a complicated point so simple it seems obvious. Along the way, she has dramatically changed the way the Southland prepares for earthquakes. Buildings are safer, first responders are better equipped and millions of residents have learned that the worst thing to do in an earthquake is to run outside.

“When the big one hits, people will be living because of the work that she has done,” Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti said.

Now Jones hopes to leverage her earthquake credentials to tackle even more ambitious projects. She’s retiring from the USGS this month to help officials develop science-based policies related to climate change, tsunamis and other kinds of natural disasters.

But we still have Dutchsinse..

Trump Catches Fire In Depressed Coal Region

Trump Catches Fire In Depressed Coal Region:

The war on coal… the battle lines drawn. Particular states may be of interest to the Trump campaign this fall..

In rustic Buchanan County, 94 percent of residents are white and pickup trucks are the vehicle of choice – many carry bumper stickers declaring the primacy of the region’s main industry through slogans like “Can’t Keep The Lights On in America Without Coal From Virginia” or “Stop The War On Coal.”

For generations, coal has been the lifeblood in the region known as Appalachia, which includes southwestern Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, and parts of Pennsylvania.

That’s changed drastically in the past 20 years. A major consumer of coal, the U.S. steel industry, has struggled against cheaper imports, closing down smelters from Pennsylvania to Ohio and cutting the demand for metallurgical coal, the higher-grade coal found in Buchanan and surrounding areas.

In the past five years, a global supply glut has driven down coal prices drastically. The company that operates Buchanan County’s largest functioning coal mine reported a steep fall in fourth-quarter prices, from $68.58 per ton in 2014 to $48.41 in 2015.

DREADFUL WEEKEND IN DRUGLAND: A strong form of heroin being sold in Camden led to more than a dozen overdoses in less than 24 hours. Now police and emergency responders are worried that there may be more to come

DREADFUL WEEKEND IN DRUGLAND: A strong form of heroin being sold in Camden led to more than a dozen overdoses in less than 24 hours. Now police and emergency responders are worried that there may be more to come:

MORE.. 

“Right now we know that there is something out there that’s putting people in near death situations,” said Camden Metro Police Chief Scott Thompson.

Thompson says heroin at its purest form being sold in Camden caused 15 overdoses in several surrounding towns since Tuesday, 14 of those cases being young people.

“Generally young 20’s,” Thompson said. “We’re talking Washington Township, Cherry Hill and Haddonfield. Heroin doesn’t discriminate who it hooks into.”

did you ever see a UFO?

As a matter of fact, I did.. thanks for the question.

I detailed the UFO sighting I had back in October or so of 2010 – I remember it fondly. It was a beautiful autumn night before my son was born. My now deceased dog Bailey was finding a spot outside during a walk.. and I looked up and saw a hovering cigar shaped light which, after seeing it, sped away out of sight..

It remember it like it was yesterday.

Atlantic Ocean off of the U.S. East Coast Rising 3–4 Times Higher than the Global Average.. beachfront property coming my way?

Atlantic Ocean off of the U.S. East Coast Rising 3–4 Times Higher than the Global Average.. beachfront property coming my way?:

The summary: 

This “hotspot” is due to the faster turnover of water through the Atlantic’s currents as compared to the Pacific, where water can take 200-300 years to make a full circuit from one end of the Atlantic to the other, as compared to the 600-900 years it might take for water to get around the Pacific.

In this case, warm waters from the Caribbean Sea that would normally be circulated northeast across the Atlantic Ocean are instead pooling off of the U.S. East Coast, due to the interruption of the North Atlantic Current. As water warms it expands, causing the ocean level to be higher wherever this expansion is experienced. NASA currently uses this effect to track ocean temperatures via satellite, using radar to record regional sea level changes to determine their temperatures.

Another recent study has shown that this has already happened, when a 4-inch sea level rise was recorded in a region of ocean between New York and Newfoundland that occurred in 2009 and 2010, due to a sudden change in the North Atlantic current.

Radar scans of King Tut’s tomb have revealed two spaces on the north and east chambers of the pharaonic mausoleum that could contain the “discovery of the century,” Egypt’s antiquities ministry said

“It could be the discovery of the century. It’s very important for Egyptian history and the history of the world,” he said, adding that the chambers may well have belonged to a king or queen. Further tests will be done on March 31 to discover more about the newly-discovered spaces, he added.

One comet to swerve closer to Earth than any other comet in centuries: An emerald-green comet will brush the Earth Monday, followed one day later by a kissing cousin that will swerve closer to the planet than any other comet in nearly 250 years.:

THIS IS ONE ‘FOR THE RECORD BOOKS,’ experts say..

An emerald-green comet will brush the Earth Monday, followed one day later by a kissing cousin that will swerve closer to the planet than any other comet in nearly 250 years.

The first and bigger of the two comets will be visible Monday to the naked eye in the southern hemisphere, as long as city lights are far away. Stargazers in the United States will probably need only binoculars to see the bigger comet in late March. Scientists, however, are bringing out the big guns. The Hubble Space Telescope, the powerful ground-based Gemini telescopes and others will be trained on the celestial visitors, which will provide an extraordinary close-up of objects usually glimpsed only at a distance.

HOGAN WINS!

The retired wrestler Hulk Hogan was awarded $115 million in damages Friday by a Florida jury in an invasion of privacy case against Gawker.com over its publication of a sex tape.

The wrestler, known in court by his legal name, Terry G. Bollea, sobbed as the verdict was announced in late afternoon, according to people in the courtroom. The jury had considered the case for about six hours.

Nick Denton, the founder of Gawker and a defendant in the case, was found personally liable, as was Albert J. Daulerio, the site’s former editor in chief.
