A futurist predicts: By 2050, human-on-robot sex will be more common than human-on-human sex, says report
People seem shocked by this predictions. I am, not.
Everything is eventual. Including this..
Doctor Ian Pearson predicts:
- By 2030, most people will have some form of virtual sex as casually as they browse porn today
- By 2035 the majority of people will own sex toys that interact with virtual reality sex
- We will start to see some forms of robot sex appearing in high-income, very wealthy households as soon as 2025
- We will start to see robot sex overtaking human-human in 2050
- Leisure spending could grow by a factor of five, and the sex market in 20 years could be three times bigger than today and seven times bigger by 2050.
Seems about right..
Just think of the reports from Japan: In 2013, the UK GUARDIAN had a report about why people in Japan stopped having sex, especially young people..
Dr. Pearson is right on.
Right or wrong for the world. Factually it’s happening.

The DAILY BEAST goes 'Inside the Secret World of Arab Playboys'
Tom Sykes writes,
The royal family of the oil-rich emirate will no doubt be hoping that the conclusion of the mourning period will bring down the curtain. For many years speculation ran rampant that the charming and glamorous Prince Rashid, who lived a glittering life amply accessorized with racehorses, fast cars, and beautiful women, was a persistent drug abuser and sex addict.In the UAE, the prince’s death has been greeted with hagiographic official obituaries.
In the West, however, the demise of Rashid has cast a rare beam of light on the secret world of the Arab playboys who flock every summer to escape the intense heat of the Middle East, and spend vast amounts of money on Western debaucheries.
The alleged behavior of some of these Arab princelings was highlighted again on Friday, after Majed Abdulaziz Al-Saud was reportedly accused of attempting toforce an employee to give him oral sex, before more reports of him sexually accosting five women surfaced.

On Monday, after a group of Egyptian and foreign archaeologists examined the famous tomb of King Tut, Egypt’s antiquities minister confirmed that they found evidence suggesting the existence of two previously undiscovered rooms. “This indicates that the western and northern walls of Tutankhamun’s tomb could hide two burial chambers,” minister Mamdouh Eldamaty told the Egyptian state press.
Lots more secrets to be found.. Exciting times.

'The Suicide': The Hotel Cecil and the Mean Streets of L.A.'s Notorious Skid Row
You may know the name of the Cecil because of Elisa Lam–we talked about her before on Coal Speaker and you’ve surely seen ‘strange case’ descriptions about the incident involving her stay at the Cecil a few years back http://coalspeaker.com/post/64769040500/the-strange-behavior-of-elisa-lam.
CNN also did an article in 2013 after Lam was found in the hotel water tank..
But the Cecil is famous for lots of other bad bad things, too..
This article describes it perfectly and succinctly.
It is a very dark and grim history.
AMERICAN HORROR STORY this year is taking a hotel approach.. the inspiration being the Cecil.

Philadelphia Chef dishes criticism on Philadelphia: On Papal Visit: 'Didn’t Need To Close Every Street, Scaring Most People'
Now that the Pope is back in Rome, we need to take a good hard look in the mirror and wonder if the security nightmare was imposed on us or created
In Philadelphia, that look has begun
One Philadelphia chef took to Facebook to share how he felt about the planning of the massive event.
Marc Vetri writes, “We’re clearly all thrilled that Pope Francis is here. Never has there been a Pope in history that people have such admiration for while having such a gentle voice that transcends all religions and all walks of life. I can say that I was thrilled that the Pope has chosen Philadelphia to spread his message…and I remain thrilled.
My only regret is the decisions of Philadelphia leaders. Instead of engaging the citizens and businesses around this great city in welcoming the Pope, they have instead decided to roll out the red carpet for everyone making the pilgrimage, and roll us up in the carpet to place in storage until Monday. I imagine a man like this Pope would like to see Philadelphia as is. We are the fabric of this city yet it seems as if the people that make this city great were by in large… an afterthought.”

ABC NEWS: The Shocking Dangers of High School Football // MORE: New Jersey high school star quarterback Evan Murray died of an abdominal hemorrhage caused by a lacerated spleen.
And this reporting from FOX NEWS on the subject:
A star New Jersey high school quarterback who collapsed and died after receiving a heavy hit during a Friday night football game was a victim of internal bleeding caused by a ruptured spleen, an autopsy revealed Monday.
Morris County Medical Examiner Ronald Suarez noted in his autopsy reported that Evan Murray had an abnormally large spleen which was more susceptible to injury, according to NJ.com. Suarez also determined there was no evidence of head trauma or heart disease and ruled Murray’s death an accident.
Murray, 17, had walked off the field with the help of some Warren Hills Regional High School teammates after taking a hit in the backfield. A short time later, the three-sport athlete collapsed on the sidelines.
