Welp, Goodbye Jim. Being Accused is the same as a signed confession in alot of peoples eyes.

Normally I'd agree you should not immediately take an ex-spouse's word for it, but if you read the article there's a pretty well-documented history of hosed up incidents.

I've never heard of this guy but in general you should assume that all celebrities or notable people are awful in some way, kill you are idols

Stuff like this sounds really bad:

quote:

Stephanie says she and Jim had purchased a dog and the animal urinated in the house. As a result, Stephanie says Jim “took the dog and placed it inside a metal bucket outside of the house on a day which it was over 100 degrees, then left it there for a long time,” adding, “The dog came close to dying.”

In response to the animal abuse allegations, Jim admitted to the incident, but says, “There was an incident where I put a ‘tub’ (not a metal bucket) over a dog to isolate it briefly as a form of discipline to its behavior at our vet’s suggestion, and unfortunately I forgot the dog was there for a while, but then of course I released it.”

Yeah, like I can understand hesitation because divorce does cause a whole lot of nasty back and forth, but the thing that stands out most to me is that he denies VERY little of this, just goes "No actually it wasn't that bad, I only tortured an animal by accident."

This is also really bad:

quote:

In 2015, she claims Jim showed up to her home and confronted her while on a date with an off-duty police officer, and the man was forced to pull his gun to make Jim leave the scene.

Is it possible for Stephanie and her boyfriend to lie about his? Yes, but it’s a high‐stakes lie for questionable gain.

If the accused has the motivation, time, and money to really stick it to a person, making a claim like that in a court filing is potentially dangerous so that it's being claimed, I'll give it a little more credence. Not saying that I'm going to accept it as gospel, but that he or his lawyer doesn't give a boilerplate "this is incorrect and we look forward to proving it in court" and instead tries to minimize without denying, well that's not a good sign.

Even if you've never heard of him, odds are that you've heard him. He was prolific as a voice actor.

Herbert's space communists were overweight to the point that they needed antigravity clothing so they could walk, were covered in sores, and were child molesters. Dune is basically Rambo III in sci fi clothes.

Dune's actually based on an amusingly similar scenario but not Communist Russia; I read an article a while back that Dune takes heavy inspiration from a nonfiction book about Caucasus people fighting back against I think Tsarist Russian imperialism. Paul is basically a mix of the Prophet Mohammed and Lawrence of Arabia, also a take on the Mule from the Foundation books.

Makes these deaths even more sad.

quote:

However, before the operation wrapped, the patient's heart began racing, causing his oxygen levels and blood pressure to plummet — causing a severe heart attack and then, gravely, his death. This was according to the Journal of Forensic Sciences — which also went onto detail how the man died from a 'fat embolism', a dysfunction that occurs when fat loosens, passes into a patient's bloodstream and ruptures blood vessels causing heart failure.

Mobility scooter freeway ride: Man caught on dashcam 'happily' riding in 100km/h traffic



quote:

Bruce, the motorist whose dashcam captured the event, can be heard telling the man to pull over, as afternoon traffic wizzes past.

“Move over mate. You’re on the freeway. You’re not supposed to be on the freeway,” Bruce is heard shouting.

The elderly man, who was travelling at about 15/km/h, yells “get f***ed” in response.
