They reviewed the Hellraiser Revival game's Cenobite Collector's Edition, comparing it to the previous Leviathan edition and noting the lack of a signed Clive Barker print as a key difference. The hosts watched a new developer diary for the game, showcasing more detailed Cenobite animations and gameplay footage with Doug Bradley's voice work. They also discussed upcoming Hellraiser conventions including Mad Monster Party in Arizona and Days of the Dead events in Chicago and Atlanta, featuring several Cenobite actors. The podcast concluded with plans for their next book club discussion of "The Body Politic" from Books of Blood Volume 4 and a vote on which 1987 film to compare to Hellraiser. Hellraiser Developer Diary Discussion Ryan and José discussed technical issues with audio and video settings before planning to watch a developer diary video about Cenobytes and Pinhead from the Hellraiser series. José shared a link to a YouTube video and they briefly discussed its content, though Ryan only watched a 30-second preview due to the initial link issue. The conversation ended with Ryan asking about "Team French" but the question remained unclear due to audio issues. Nightbreed 4K Restoration Discussion José and Ryan discussed a new 4K restoration of the film Nightbreed, including both theatrical and director's cuts, with enhanced features like Dolby Vision HDR, new artwork, and a companion book. They reflected on previous collector's editions and debated whether physical media releases, including 4K, would continue to be relevant given the rise of digital formats. Both agreed that while digital media is growing, physical media will likely persist in some form, particularly for collectors and professionals in the film industry. Physical Media's Enduring Relevance José and Ryan discussed the ongoing relevance of physical media in the age of streaming services. They noted that while streaming has become popular, limitations in internet speeds and the temporary nature of licensed content on platforms like Netflix mean physical media will likely continue to have a place. They highlighted how streaming platforms have shifted focus toward producing their own content rather than licensing existing material, leading viewers to seek out older content on alternative platforms like YouTube. The conversation concluded with appreciation for companies like Arrow, Shout Factory, and Turbine Media that continue to produce physical media releases. Nightbreed 4K Release Discussion Ryan and José discussed a new Arrow Video 4K release of Nightbreed, comparing the UK and potential US versions. They noted that the UK release includes exclusive extras like behind-the-scenes footage and UK-specific content, though they were uncertain if these features would be included in the US version. The UK release is priced at 30 pounds, which Ryan and José considered a good deal, though they agreed to wait for the US release to potentially save money and see if it includes similar extras. Hellraiser Game Edition Comparisons José and Ryan discussed the differences between various editions of the Hellraiser Revival game, including the new Cenobite Collector's Edition priced at $199. They compared features between the Leviathan Edition and Cenobite Edition, noting that the Leviathan includes a hand-signed art print while the Cenobite edition features a Cenobite statue and other exclusive items. The discussion highlighted concerns about the long pre-order period, which has been ongoing for about a year since the last pre-order update in June 2025, and they noted that the new dev diary "Cenobytes" provides additional footage of Cenobites in the game. Hellraiser Revival Collector's Edition Discussion José and Ryan discussed a Hellraiser Revival Collector's Edition, which includes a Cenobite statue, puzzle box, enamel pins, and a digital soundtrack. They watched a dev diary video showcasing the game's features, including platforming elements and various Cenobite characters. The video highlighted the game's focus on grotesque scenes and jump scares, with Doug Bradley's involvement adding credibility to the project. José and Ryan noted the game's potential for a gradual descent into horror, similar to Big Trouble in Little China, and expressed hope for an upcoming release date announcement. Temple of the Killer Tiger Monkeys Ryan and José discussed the audio drama "Temple of the Killer Tiger Monkeys," which features original Cenobite actors including Doug Bradley, Simon Bamford, and Nicholas Vince. They agreed to create a future podcast episode about the series, potentially including an interview with Simon Banford. The conversation also covered Ghanaian movie posters, specifically a Hellraiser poster by artist Heavy J, which is now available for purchase through Deadly Prey Gallery. Finally, they mentioned upcoming Hellraiser and Nightbreed conventions featuring the Cenobite actors. Horror Conventions and Content Planning José and Ryan discussed upcoming horror conventions, including Mad Monster Party Arizona in July 2026 and Days of the Dead events in Chicago and Atlanta. They expressed interest in meeting Peter Atkins at the Chicago event in November 2026, with both planning to discuss time off work to attend. José also mentioned upcoming content plans, including a book club discussion of "The Body Politic" from Books of Blood Volume 4 and a vote on a 1987 movie to compete against Hellraiser. Horror Movies Discussion Ryan and José discussed various horror movies, including The Lost Boys, Prince of Darkness, The Gate, Bad Taste, Angel Heart, Beaks, and Iron Warrior. They shared their opinions on these films, with José expressing a preference for Bad Taste due to its chaotic nature. Ryan mentioned his interest in watching Prince of Darkness, The Gate, or Angel Heart again. They also briefly discussed actor Stephen Dorff's role in The Gate and his appearance in Blade. The conversation concluded with José mentioning Nicholas Vince's recent campaign for the Green Party in the UK elections. UK Elections and Media Discussion José and Ryan discussed recent local elections in the UK, with Ryan encouraging José to vote for Nicholas Vince in future elections. They then talked about editing a podcast episode, noting that while some parts like screen sharing would be easy to edit out, removing fillers like "ums" would be more time-consuming. The conversation concluded with a discussion about a Hellraiser script booklet, comparing different versions and discussing whether certain autographs were real or printed.

José provided a detailed summary of the plot, describing the main character Gavin as an amoral hustler who discovers a golem-like creature in Reynolds' apartment. The discussion explored themes of aging, retirement, and superficiality, with Ryan suggesting the story represents how younger people replace older professionals in various fields. The group analyzed key moments in the story, including Gavin's discovery of the statue in Reynolds' bathtub and the creature's apparent attraction to Gavin's appearance. The conversation concluded with reflections on Gavin's character as a young, attractive but lost soul. Gavin's Shadow Statue Confrontation The group discussed a story involving Gavin, who becomes entangled with a pimp named Pretorius after a misunderstanding about a crime committed against one of Pretorius's sex workers. Gavin tries to escape but is caught and attacked with a knife, leading to a confrontation with a shadowy statue that appears to be coming to his aid. The statue, which seems connected to Gavin on a psychic level, transforms from a wooden statue to a more human form and helps defend him, eventually revealing a connection to Gavin's own shadow self. The discussion touched on various themes including doppelgängers, golems, and depression, with the statue potentially representing Gavin's inner demons or depression manifesting physically. Doppelganger Story Plot Discussion The group discussed a story involving a doppelganger that takes over a person's life, with José explaining key plot points about how the doppelganger physically mirrors the original person's injuries and experiences. They explored the character's situation after murdering Pretorius and the gang, including his decision not to return home due to police involvement and his limited resources. The discussion also covered the character's visit to Reynolds, who provided limited explanations about the creature's origins and requirements for activation, though Reynolds himself had become isolated and deteriorated since encountering the entity. Gavin's Doppelganger Character Analysis The group discussed a character named Gavin who creates a doppelganger that leads an independent life after copying him. They analyzed how Gavin loses his will to live as his clone becomes more human and powerful, with José comparing this to depression and Ryan drawing parallels to retirement.

José highlighted the significance of the doppelganger's wound and its healing process, while the group discussed the character's potential curse and origins. They also noted the contrast between Gavin's emotional state and the doppelganger's ability to emote and connect with life. Clive Barker's Doppelganger Story Discussion The group discussed Clive Barker's story about a doppelganger, exploring its themes of grief, identity, and what makes someone human. They considered the story's potential as an arthouse film, noting its low-budget production possibilities and discussing how to adapt the interior monologue elements for the screen. The conversation included insights about Barker's own experiences that may have influenced the story, and they examined the connection between the doppelganger and Gavin's character, speculating about how the story might end. Clive Barker Rights Discussion The group discussed Clive Barker's rights to his works, particularly regarding the Books of Blood series and Hellraiser. They noted that rights typically revert to authors unless new adaptations are created, and discussed how rights complications can arise when multiple adaptations attempt to use the same material. The conversation concluded with plans to move on to Volume 4 of the Books of Blood, specifically discussing the story "The Body Politic" and mentioning a Christopher Lloyd adaptation titled "The Inhuman Condition." Hellraiser Adaptations and Projects The group discussed various Hellraiser adaptations and related projects.

Marvel Hellraiser Comics Discussion The group discussed Marvel Hellraiser comics, including their completeness and value, with José noting that buyers should be aware of what they're purchasing.

Don Bertram shared insights as an artist and collector, while José and Ryan explored themes of transformation and creativity. They also briefly discussed the 2022 Hellraiser movie release and its special features. The conversation concluded with plans to vote on future art pieces to analyze. Summary Clive Barker Self-Portrait Discussion The group discussed a self-portrait painting by Clive Barker from 2007, which was selected through a listener vote. José provided context about the painting, including its size (60x48 inches), medium (oil on canvas), and exhibition history at the Bert Green Gallery. The painting sold for $8,000 and was described as a beautiful character portrait. The discussion concluded with José inviting the participants to share their analysis of the portrait's style and emotional impact, though specific reactions were not captured in the transcript. Clive Barker Self-Portrait Discussion Don and Ryan discussed a large self-portrait by Clive Barker, noting its similarities to his "Abarat" style and comparing it to earlier works. Don expressed a preference for Barker's more cerebral images over this illustrative piece, suggesting the large size (4 by 5 feet) might be intended to command attention rather than being a traditional self-portrait. José proposed that the size creates a sense of confrontation and demands engagement, while Don speculated that the piece might originally have been intended for a different character in the Abarat series before being repurposed as a self-portrait. Clive Barker Painting Analysis Discussion The group discussed a painting that appears to depict Clive Barker, with José arguing it's a self-portrait while Don suggested it might be a portrait of another character. José analyzed the artistic elements, describing the symmetrical composition and expressionistic style with bold brushstrokes and flames as an aura rather than a setting. The discussion included comparisons to other Barker works and references to specific book editions, with Don suggesting the painting might be used as a dust jacket or limited edition book cover. Clive Barker Painting Interpretation Discussion The group discussed a painting of Clive Barker, interpreting the fire surrounding him as representing transformation, danger, or creative intensity. José and Ryan connected this to Barker's recurring theme of characters being forged or transformed through proximity to powerful or high-stakes events, while remaining intact. They noted the painting's medium of oils, which allows for layers and revisions similar to how people build their self-identity, and expressed interest in seeing a higher quality image of the painting. Gallery Exhibition Art Discussion The group discussed a painting that was part of a gallery exhibition called "New Paintings and Works on Paper" in 2007. They clarified that the $8,000 price listed on Phil and Sarah's website represents the original asking price rather than a confirmed sale price. José shared his screen to show other paintings from the same exhibition, including "She Waits" and "Voices of the Damned," which was possibly related to Barbie Wilde's book. The discussion also touched on other works by Aberet, including some black and white pieces and drawings. Clive Barker Self-Portrait Analysis The group discussed a self-portrait painting by Clive Barker, examining its artistic techniques and comparing it to other Barker self-portraits. They analyzed specific elements like the use of color, eye details, and the symbolic representation of a monster inside the artist's head. The conversation concluded with a brief discussion about the Hellraiser 2022 Blu-ray release, including its special features and the inclusion of one of Barker's paintings in the film, though it was covered with plastic and barely visible.

The story explored themes of sexual repression in British society and the corrupt underbelly of London's entertainment industry during the 1980s. The discussion included analysis of character motivations, the supernatural elements of Ronnie's ghostly form, and the story's dark humor. The podcasters also shared insights about the story's adaptation into a Tapping the Vein comic and discussed upcoming content including a 1978 movie commentary series where votes were still being collected between Superman and The Body Snatchers. The conversation ended with a light-hearted photo shoot using blankets as a creative way to represent the podcast's ghostly theme. The Pornographer's Shroud: Moral Consequences The group discussed Clive Barker's story "The Pornographer's Shroud" from Volume 3 of Books of Blood. José explained that the story explores how a man who builds his moral universe by denying the body faces consequences even after death, noting that Ronnie Glass, the protagonist, is an everyman who works for a pornography publisher but remains sexually prudish. Ryan and José discussed how the story reveals that Ronnie's moral judgments are flawed, as he believes sin can be corrected like an error in a ledger. The group agreed that the story is terrifying not just for its supernatural elements but also because Ronnie doesn't recognize his own evil, seeing himself as tidy and righteous. McGuire's Greed and Retribution The group discussed a story involving Michael McGuire, who discovers his boss's involvement in distributing explicit magazines. José explained that McGuire, who appears respectable but is driven by greed, becomes angry when he learns about his boss's illegal activities. The story critiques British society's repressive nature, as McGuire's public persona contrasts with his private actions. Ryan questioned why McGuire would visit the warehouse, given his knowledge of the illegal operations, and José suggested McGuire's curiosity and denial played a role. The discussion concluded with McGuire punching his boss in a fit of rage, only to face retaliation from McGuire's associates. Ronnie's Fall and Path to Revenge The group discussed a scenario involving Ronnie Glass, who was smeared by the media after being linked to a pornography case, despite not being directly involved. They analyzed how Ronnie's reputation was destroyed, his wife left him, and he felt a twisted sense of relief during his beating, viewing it as a form of punishment. The conversation also touched on Ronnie's transformation from feeling betrayed to seeking revenge, his struggle to obtain a gun in England, and his cold, calculated approach to planning murder after his wife's departure. Ronnie Glass's Vengeful Journey The group discussed the character Ronnie Glass and his journey of revenge after being wrongfully accused and framed by his criminal associates. They analyzed his cold-blooded killings of Henry B and Dennis Dork Lozati, noting his lack of conscience and methodical approach to settling scores. The discussion highlighted how Ronnie's actions not only avenged his own wrongs but also shook the underworld's power balance, with some respecting his courage while others condemned his brutality. The conversation also touched on Ronnie's missed opportunity for redemption by not leaving a letter to his wife to explain his innocence and the impact of his actions on innocent people. Violence and Emotional Detachment The group discussed a violent story involving Ronnie's murder by McGuire, who then casually returned to social activities afterward. They noted how the characters showed little emotional response to the violence, with the pathologist and his assistants engaging in trivial conversation while performing the autopsy. Ronnie's wife visited his body without much emotional display, and he later became frustrated by the disrespectful treatment during the autopsy, leading him to leave his body through his shroud and become a ghost-like figure. Ronnie's Shroud Murder Spree The group discussed a story involving Ronnie, who gains the ability to manipulate a shroud to create a semi-human form and uses this power to kill a pathologist. Ronnie later encounters McGuire in a sex shop, where McGuire is choked and killed by Ronnie, who then escapes. The story also follows McGuire's goons and their interactions with corrupt police officers, including a scene where one goon is beaten for pleasuring himself in the police station. McGuire's Tragic End The group discussed a scene involving McGuire, who is recovering from an attack and reflecting on his life while surrounded by portraits of his heroes. McGuire's wife and child visit, but after the dogs start barking, Ronnie, who is already on the property, attacks McGuire. Ronnie ultimately kills McGuire by jamming his shroud down McGuire's throat, then shoots McGuire's wife and Norton before being killed by the Shroud in front of McGuire's young daughter. The story then shifts to Ronnie seeking redemption by confessing to a priest, but Father Rooney is distracted by taking photographs with a woman named Natalie. The Body Politik Adaptation Discussion The group discussed the story "The Body Politik," focusing on its themes of suburban tranquility masking deeper secrets and its adaptation into a Tapping the Vein comic. They noted that the story would work better as a short film or part of an anthology series rather than a full-length feature. José mentioned that the story shares similarities with other Clyde Barker works, such as "Hell's Event" and "Pig Blood Blues." The discussion concluded with comments from Reddit users praising the story's pacing and Clive Barker's ability to make unusual ideas believable, as well as noting that the Mick Garris adaptation was not well-received.

RAWHEAD REX DISCUSSION AND THEMES The Book Club of Blood returned with episode 519, where Ryan shared his experience reading Snow by Ronald Malfe at a Dark Fairbanks Book Club meeting, which had only 4 attendees out of 18 who registered. The main discussion focused on Clive Barker's Rawhead Rex, a feral folk horror novella about an ancient forest entity in England, with Ryan, José, and wnbla discussing the story's themes of modernization vs. tradition in the English countryside. They explored how the protagonist Ron Milton's attempts to modernize the village of Zeal conflict with local legends and traditions, particularly regarding an ancient warning rock that has become forgotten over time. RAWHEAD REX ADAPTATION COMPARISONS The group discussed the differences between the book and movie adaptations of Rawhead Rex, focusing on the character development and visual representation of Rawhead. They noted that the movie lacked the original script's detailed opening sequence and internal dialogue from Rawhead's perspective, which would have provided a more nuanced portrayal of the monster. The conversation also touched on the creature design in the film, comparing it to the book's description and highlighting the movie's limitations in terms of budget and special effects. The discussion concluded with a brief overview of the main characters in the story and their roles in the narrative. RAWHEAD CHARACTER ANALYSIS DISCUSSION The group discussed the character Rawhead, exploring his fears of femininity and his destructive nature. They compared the movie adaptation to the original story, noting differences in character interactions and plot details. José shared information about a failed comic adaptation and the rarity of the published version. The conversation also touched on the artistic contributions of various creators involved in the comic and movie adaptations. SUPERNATURAL ALTAR FILM ADAPTATION The group discussed the film adaptation of the story about a mysterious altar and its connection to supernatural events. They explored how the film depicted the characters' experiences with the altar's power, including Koot's painful erection and Declan's distorted vision. The story delves into the history of the settlement, with Declan sharing his knowledge of ancient tales about a creature called Rawhead. They also discussed the film's portrayal of the investigation into the murders, including the detective's initial underestimation of the killer's cunning. RAWHEAD REX: REMAKE POTENTIAL The group discussed Clive Barker's novel "Rawhead Rex," focusing on its adaptation into a film. They explored themes of monstrous beings and human desire for power, as well as the film's depiction of a priest being enthralled by the monster. The conversation touched on the film's visual elements and potential for a remake, with José noting that the scene of the priest urinating on a character named Vickers remained in the final cut despite Clive Barker's initial doubts. The group agreed that "Rawhead Rex" could be a good candidate for a remake, particularly with modern visual effects technology. RAWHEAD CHURCH ATTACK SCENE The group discussed the plot of a horror movie involving a monster named Rawhead, focusing on a scene where the monster attacks a priest and a young boy in a church. They described how the monster overpowers the priest, causing him to have visions and leading to a confrontation with police. The discussion also covered the monster's ability to regenerate and the aftermath of the attack, including the priest's injuries and the character's hospitalization. RAWHEAD REX: BOOK VS. MOVIE The group discussed the differences between the book and movie adaptations of "Rawhead Rex," focusing on character development, plot details, and the horror elements. José and Ryan highlighted the book's more complex and disturbing narrative, including the graphic depiction of the monster's attack and the visceral details of the child's death. They compared the movie's portrayal, noting its limitations in capturing the book's intensity and the substitution of a human slave for the monster's destructive actions. José and Ryan also discussed the significance of the religious relic in the book, emphasizing its symbolic representation of feminine power and its role in defeating the monster. The conversation concluded with reflections on the movie's simplification of the story and the potential for a more faithful adaptation in the future.

Ashley Parham's lawsuit against Sean "Diddy" Combs contains shocking accusations of sexual assault and physical violence. Parham claims that in 2018, after making a comment accusing Diddy of being involved in Tupac Shakur's murder, she became a target of his retaliation. According to the lawsuit, Diddy threatened her and eventually lured her to a private residence, where he allegedly assaulted her physically and sexually. Parham states that he held a knife to her face, threatened her with a "Glasgow smile," and humiliated her in front of others.Further details in the lawsuit describe how Diddy, along with his associates, sexually assaulted Parham using various objects, all while threatening her life. She recounts waking up from the ordeal, grabbing a knife, and confronting Diddy in a desperate attempt to escape. Parham alleges that Diddy begged for his life during the confrontation and that she narrowly escaped after grazing him with the knife. Despite reporting the assault to local police, Parham claims that no investigation was opened, intensifying her allegations against Diddy and his associates.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Complaint (newsnationnow.com)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

The lawsuit between Sean "Diddy" Combs and Diageo is centered on allegations of contract breaches and unequal treatment of Combs' liquor brands. Combs sued Diageo in May 2023, accusing the company of failing to properly support his brands, Cîroc Vodka and DeLeón Tequila, by not providing the resources necessary to position DeLeón as a premium product. Combs argued that Diageo underfunded and mismanaged the brands, which hindered their market performance.Diageo attempted to dismiss the lawsuit, claiming they had invested heavily in the brands. However, in August 2023, a judge allowed some of Combs' claims to move forward, indicating there were legitimate issues to be addressed. Following this, Diageo ended its partnership with Combs, citing that their relationship had deteriorated due to ongoing disputes and public criticism.The lawsuit has raised questions about Diageo's handling of Combs' brands and their contractual obligations. Combs seeks to hold Diageo accountable for what he claims is insufficient support that affected the brands' growth and market competitiveness.(commercial at 8:19)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:v0 (bwbx.io)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

In a lawsuit filed in October 2024, a woman identified as Jane Doe alleges that Sean "Diddy" Combs raped her during a Las Vegas afterparty in 2014. According to the complaint, Doe and her two friends were in Las Vegas over Memorial Day Weekend 2014. Doe claims she connected with Combs' party promoter, known only as "Internamtikonal Smoove," who invited her to an exclusive party at Club Rehab, where she met several celebrities, including Mary J. Blige, Lil' Kim, and Nicki Minaj. After the party, Doe attended an afterparty at Combs' suite at the Planet Hollywood hotel. After consuming one or two drinks from a Ciroc vodka bottle, Doe began to feel disoriented. Smoove directed her to an empty bedroom where she could rest, assuring her that the door would be locked. The next thing Doe recalls is waking up the following morning feeling very groggy and sore, with her entire body hurting and difficulty moving. She saw Combs in the corner of the room, shirtless and yelling loudly at someone over the phone. He was the only person in the room with her, and it was clear that someone else had been in the bed with her. Doe returned to her friends and slept for two days, vaguely remembering her friends trying to help with periodic offers of water.Doe's lawsuit is part of a broader wave of legal actions against Combs, with over 100 individuals alleging sexual abuse. The allegations span decades and include claims of drugging, sexual assault, and rape. Combs has denied all allegations, with his legal team describing them as false and opportunistic. The legal proceedings are ongoing, with Combs currently facing federal charges of racketeering and sex trafficking, to which he has pleaded not guilty.(commercial at 14:02)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:gov.uscourts.nysd.630246.1.0.pdf

No-one expected The Cribs to become lawyers. Not because they're working class brothers from Wakefield, or they smashed themselves through a glass vase at the NME Awards in 2006 (24–7 Rock Star Shit) . But because they write absolute belters and shouldn't need to think about fighting for the right to be a-party to the rights of their own catalogue. They did anyway, though.

In case you missed it before Geese became the most talked about band in the world, we heard from frontperson and songwriter Cameron Winter this time last year. It was just around the time of his excellent debut album Heavy Metal, which a few weeks later he played songs from in a church in East London to a couple of hundred very quiet and respectful revellers. I doubt that kind of intimate setting will be possible for Geese again. Here is Cameron just before it all took off.

For those in the back - the big, broad-scope call to "release the Epstein files" did not begin until Pam Bondi said she had the client list "on her desk," and then months later said the list didn't exist. The Biden White House did not face these same calls for transparency and they couldn't have released these files anyway

The Mega condenses  the lawsuits against Sean "Diddy" Combs into one powerful, comprehensive episode. From allegations of misconduct to claims of power abuse, this episode brings together the transcripts from Diddy's second bail attempt in a single, unfiltered narrative. John Doe, a former employee of Reign, made serious allegations against Sean Combs, detailing instances of sexual harassment, coercion, and a hostile work environment. Doe claims that Combs engaged in inappropriate behavior during work-related events and meetings, creating an atmosphere of fear and manipulation. The allegations include unwelcome sexual advances, pressure to partake in illicit activities, and retaliation when Doe attempted to resist or report the misconduct.Doe further alleges that Reign's management ignored or dismissed his complaints, allowing Combs' behavior to continue unchecked. He describes a pattern of intimidation, where Combs leveraged his power to silence those who opposed him, including threats to derail careers and reputations. The case underscores the broader issue of systemic abuse of power in the entertainment industry, with John Doe seeking legal action not only for personal justice but to support other victims who may have experienced similar treatment.(commercial at 14:33)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Story of the Week (DR):War against women continues: Uber Not Responsible for Sex Assault, Jury Finds, as More Cases FollowEthan P. Schulman, the judge presiding over the California state court cases, told jurors that Uber would be responsible for the woman's harm if the company was negligent in using adequate safety measures and the negligence was a “substantial factor” in causing the harm.In its decision, the jury unanimously agreed that Uber had been negligent in its general safety practices when the incident occurred in 2016 — but that the negligence was not a substantial factor in causing the attack. The jury's foreman: “We felt that they could have done more back in the early days of Uber, rather than just focusing on growth,”Meet Lisa Monaco, the 57-year-old Microsoft executive Trump wants fired“Corrupt and Totally Trump Deranged Lisa Monaco (A purported pawn of Legal Lightweight Andrew Weissmann), was a senior National Security aide under Barack Hussein Obama. Monaco has been shockingly hired as the President of Global Affairs for Microsoft, in a very senior role with access to Highly Sensitive Information. Monaco's having that kind of access is unacceptable, and cannot be allowed to stand.”Monaco helped coordinate the Justice Department's response to the Jan. 6th attacks on the U.S. Capitol by Trump supporters in 2021. In January 2022, Monaco publicly announced that the Justice Department was investigating the Trump fake electors plotMilitary women fear losing 'every bit of ground' as Hegseth looks backward to the 1990sDefense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Tuesday that he wants to review Defense Department standards that have changed since the 1990s, a time when military women saw far less support for their service and met drastically lower physical standards than today: "The 1990s test is simple. What were the military standards in 1990? And if they have changed, tell me why. Was it necessary change based on the evolving landscape of combat? Or was the change due to a softening, weakening, or gender-based pursuit of other priorities? 1990s seems to be as good a place to start as any."PGA of America CEO apologizes for Ryder Cup missteps, but group's president denies problemThe Misogynistic Abuse Towards Rory McIlroy's Wife at the Ryder Cup Is Deeper Than Golf. It shows a cultural shift, one in which men feel emboldened to attack women in public without shame or consequence. The abuse and taunts were so unrelenting that Stoll was spotted with “tears streaming down her face”PGA of America President Don Rea took a different approach on Sunday in a BBC interview where he downplayed the severity of the crowd's behavior: “Well, you have 50,000 people there that are really excited, and heck, you can go to a youth soccer game and get some people who say the wrong things,” Rea said. When asked about the abuse directed at McIlroy, he responded, “I haven't heard some of that.
