IT CHAPTER TWO is coming, and the final trailer is here to consume:
Two sequels to last year’s “Halloween” franchise reboot are on deck for the next two years. “Halloween Kills” comes out in October, 2020 and “Halloween Ends” will be released one year later. Jason Blum, of Blumhouse, confirmed everything in a tweet today:
FINALLY : not one but TWO new Halloween movies: Halloween Kills (2020) and Halloween Ends (2021). Yes, the gang is ALL back, including @jamieleecurtis, Danny McBride, David Gordon Green and @TheHorrorMaster John Carpenter. Oh yea. pic.twitter.com/KpVa2PlwN5

Someone in the KLM Airlines social media department has a lot of explaining to do. In a now-deleted tweet, KLM India wrote, “According to data studies by Time, the fatality rate for the seats in the middle of the plane is the highest. However, the fatality rate for the seats in the front is marginally lesser and is least for seats at the rear third of a plane.” Twitter users criticized the bad timing of the post. The message was tweeted on the 5th anniversary of the crash of Malaysian Airlines Flight 17 that killed 298 people. The post was followed by an apology and a message that said, “The post was based on a publicly available aviation fact, and isn’t a @KLM opinion. It was never our intention to hurt anyone’s sentiments. The post has since been deleted.”
Just so we’re clear, the ‘Storm Area 51’ raid is fake but it seems Bud Light wants to take part in it.
Originally they tweeted out that they wouldn’t brand this event, which is millions of people ‘naruto running’ to Area 51. But now they’ve changed their minds!
Screw it. Free Bud Light to any alien that makes it out. https://t.co/AOWOYL3Oyp

Let’s hope the aliens like beer, especially the special edition they made just for Area 51 aliens.

It’s expected to feel a 105 degrees with the heat index this weekend starting on Friday in the greater Chicago area. WGN reported today on how the City of Chicago will respond to the needs of those vulnerable to the hot conditions.
The following tips are worth noting with the heat:
There are numerous issues that could and already have caused travel issues from delays at O’Hare to pavement on area roadways, WGN reports on all of that here.
One of the greatest weather related disasters in Chicago history was the heat wave of 1995 with a heat index that 120 degrees, and it contributed the deaths of 739 people across the city and beyond with power outages and many other problems. At the 2016 Chicago Humanities Festival, author Eric Klinenberg broke down how the heat wave hit Chicagoans.

After avoiding being interviewed, Matty Roberts has come forward as the author of the event page ” Storm Area 51, They Can’t Stop All of Us.”
The key thing to take away from his “coming out” is how he stated this was all a joke.
He told KLAS-TV about how he got the inspiration from a Joe Rogan podcast with Bob Lazar, a man who claims he’s worked at Area 51.
Roberts insisted the Facebook page was only satirical, and that it would be a funny idea for a meme page. He only came forward out of fear, thinking the FBI would come question him after millions of UFO conspiracy theory fans signed up for the event.
This is a prime example of how you have to be careful about what you put out there on the internet.

In West Palm Beach Florida city officials have decided to stray the homeless away from sleeping in a park with a very unconventional method.
Instead of putting up a fence, or having some police patrol the area, they’ve decided to blast the very popular children’s song ‘Baby Shark‘.
Along with the song “Raining Tacos.”
“Raining Tacos” is an obnoxious song playing at Lake Pavilion in West Palm Beach. City officials say it’s to deter people for congregating at the park late at night. Someone is still out here sleeping through it @CBS12 pic.twitter.com/YqJZHBU8fw

Although effective in keeping the homeless away from the park, you have to feel bad for the people who just live around that area right?
This can be considered torture right?
We’ve been in an incredibly hot heatwave around the country, and first responders released a bit of a warning.
They say you should NOT leave a plastic bottle of water in a hot car and in direct sunlight. Why? Because it can start a fire!
Firefighter Jay Symonds from Central New York said: “the water and plastic creat a magnifying effect, and could essentially set upholstery on fire.”
Now it does have to be a full water bottle for that to happen, but you don’t wanna take a chance of something happening.
Keep the water on you, not in your car.
Former Iowa Department of Human Services Director Jerry Foxhoven may be regarded as the biggest Tupac fan as he has sent his coworkers an accumulated 350 pages worth of emails regarding Tupac throughout his career.
Jerry Foxhoven’s past co-workers have reported that Jerry would share Tupac lyrics on holidays and even brought in Tupac-themed cookies for his 65th birthday saying “Thug Life” on them.
He was asked to step down the workday after he sent an agency-wide email to all 4,300 employees with song lyrics from the late rapper Tupac Shakur.
A Human Resources specialist said that his Tupac obsession wasn’t the reason he was forced to resign but they won’t explain otherwise.
In a final statement, Jerry Foxhoven’s former employee said, “Tupac was a controversial figure, and I appreciated that Jerry didn’t let that deter him from spreading the positive messages in his lyrics. I truly don’t believe the Tupac thing had anything to do with Jerry’s departure.”
Ali thinks that Iowa just hates Tupac, and even made a rap on their hatred.
A boy in Utah had the cops called on him several times because he was holding a sign to sell “ICE COLD BEER.”
But what most people didn’t see was the small letters above the word “BEER” that said “ROOT.”
The Brigham City Police Department showed up and posted his twist on a lemonade stand. He even told them how business has been good, which isn’t surprising. If you saw a sign that says “ICE COLD BEER” wouldn’t you be stopping?
This may gross you out… a man used his feet to swipe on an airplanes touch screen.

Now this man walked onto the plane carrying his own bag, why couldn’t he just touch the dang screen?
