Few entertainers have enjoyed as much broad appeal and admiration as comedian Robin Williams, but people's love for him is not just for his performances. Williams was a talented comedian and an actor with a surprisingly wide range, but by all accounts he was also a delightful and caring human being.Williams would have been 73 years old on July 21, 2024. His son Zak shared a touching tribute to his father on social media, which prompted everyday people to share their personal anecdotes of their encounters with him. "Dad, on what would be your 73rd birthday, I remember you for all the hope and joy you brought to the world," Zak Williams wrote. "There's not a week that goes by without someone sharing with me how you helped them through a dark time or a rough patch. I'm so grateful to be your son. Love you forever." — (@) As the stories poured in, it became clearer and clearer how much the world lost with Robin Williams' passing in 2014. Here are some highlights:"I passed your dad carrying you one day on a sidewalk in SF - you looked to be around 2. You were both talking to each other in made-up language and you were really holding your own. Your dad caught me watching and as you passed me by, he tipped his head towards you and beamed the most incredible loving smile - he thought you were something else." – malloryvk"Jumanji was filmed in my hometown (Keene, NH) when my mom was working at a local restaurant - Robin Williams stopped in and my mother was his waitress. She took his order as she was trained to - 'hello my name is Robin, what can I get for you today?' - he ordered a burger and tipped $100, 'from one Robin to another.'" – emmatshibambi"Every Christmas, your Dad would visit the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at UCSF. He would visit every child who was able to have a visitor and all of the exhausted and terrified parents. Your dad’s goodness and love were felt by everyone there." – kennandlisa"Many, many years ago, I worked at Harrods in Knightsbridge. I was working the Caralina Herrera sunglasses counter one day and Robin Williams came up and asked directions to the Sports department. I tried to play it cool as I took in the laughter lines of his face, the twinkle in his eyes, the kindness of his soul. I needed to remember this moment forever. And I do! (And I often wonder if he found the sports department straight away, as I'm pretty sure I told him in my true awkwardness to turn right instead of left at the top of the escalator. Sorry Robin) A forever memory and much love and appreciation for the human that you were. ❤️" – ilovekerry.2"In the early 2000’s, my mom spotted Mr. Williams by himself sight-seeing in downtown Toronto. She was so excited as she was a huge fan, and approached him. She later told me how he radiated warmth, his blue eyes sparkling, and was even kind enough to sign an autograph. Though my mom is now in Heaven too, I still cherish this memory (and the autograph + pen he used!) ?" – foxy_the_squirrel"I watched your dad since Mork & Mindy & had a casual conversation with him at the Apple Store in NYC but I did not tell him I knew it was him. I wanted him to enjoy his shopping without getting hit by millions of people. He had a thick beard but I saw his BRIGHT CLEAR BLUE EYES. Absolutely unmistakable & one of a kind, not just his eyes but his heart." – InventorBLADES"I can’t even tell you the impact he had on my life… I went through a horrible violent crime as a teen and spent years hiding it, that decision created great mental anguish and Robin saved my life. I can’t explain the details, but he was an angel on earth and he had a way to speak to hearts with his one of kind spontaneous comedy and I am forever thankful for the gift of him in my journey." – wenbernacky"I mean this in a very literal sense—no other famous persons passing has ever hit me, but his… it’s almost as if I had personally known him and he had been there to comfort me during hard times. Those types of souls are magic in human form." – iamchief_chrisSome may not know that Robin Williams also advocated for homeless people in Congress, with his signature compassion and even some comedy thrown in.

Native English speakers often find German grammar rules pretty baffling. So, imagine if English speakers used German grammar and syntax while speaking their native tongue. Overlearner, a YouTuber who speaks multiple languages, created a video to show what a typical conversation would sound like.Overlearner’s page discusses the optimal ways to learn languages, music, martial arts, and many other skills.What’s interesting about the video is German’s unique syntax.For example:Person 1: Must you today also to work?Person 2: No, I must today not to work I have today a day free but I work morning and over morning. When people speak English but with German grammar youtu.be Or there was a crazy situation that went down at Person 2’s job. He’s a tooth doctor, or was we would call him, a dental assistant.Person 2: Yesterday is a female patient in the clinic come that such fear before tooth doctors had that she during the examination to scream begun has then upstood and out the building run is.Person 1: Wow, what for a crazy situation, yes.The video's mixed-up syntax reminded many people in the comments of a “Star Wars” character. "This sounds like AI Shakespearean Yoda having a stroke," one commenter wrote. "So… to Germans, Yoda was the only normal one?" another added.The video is a great way for English speakers to better understand what German sounds like to native speakers. It’s also a wonderful reminder that we should give any English speakers learning German or German speakers learning English a lot of credit because figuring out how to switch syntax like that must be maddening.

“I’m a t-shirt salesman. I’m not a musician. I’m literally a traveling tchotchke seller,” Exodus bassist Jack Gibson (pictured above) stated in a recent interview. “That’s what we do. We play music to try to get people to the store and sell them our fuckin’ stuff with stuff printed on it. That’s the business.” After a stint with Exodus from ’97–’98, Gibson signed on for a run that began in ’01 and continues to the present. The problem is that record royalties, streaming and even touring hasn’t made mid-level band’s life profitable. “There’s no business,” Gibson added. “Once they started giving the music away, there’s no business.” Don’t ask Gibson about A.I. “Once the A.I. figures out how to actually make music that people enjoy, they’re not gonna pay us to do shit.” Exodus has been a band on the cusp. It has been debated whether or not they belong in the “Big Five” of Thrash Metal with Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer and Anthrax, due to their involvement with the early ’80s Thrash Metal scene. Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian thinks Exodus should have been included, “People talk about the ‘Big Four’ all the time, but back then it was really the ‘Big Five’ because Exodus were just as important and just as influential as everybody else.” ### The post Exodus: Tchotchke Sellers Now appeared first on RockinTown.

The past couple of weeks have truly been historic.  Take a moment and just consider some of the major events that we have witnessed.  Donald Trump got shot, Joe Biden dropped out of the race for president, and Kamala Harris quickly became the new presumptive nominee.  It is hard to remember a time when so much has happened in such a short period of time.  Now more bombshells have dropped, but because so much else is going on they are not getting the attention that they deserve.  The following are 3 major bombshells that everybody should be talking about right now… #1 It appears that Joe Biden had some sort of a medical emergency while he was in Las Vegas last week… A Las Vegas hospital was on standby after being alerted about a possible medical issue with President Joe Biden Wednesday afternoon while he was visiting Southern Nevada. Law enforcement and medical teams gathered outside the University Medical Center trauma room entrance on Wellness Way in case the President of the United States arrived after he canceled an appearance at the Unidos US Convention in Las Vegas due to testing positive for COVID-19. Unidos US President and CEO Janet Murguía made the announcement to attendees who were waiting to hear the president speak. You don’t rush someone to the hospital because of COVID. Something else was clearly going on. The hospital that was put on alert is “the only Level 1 Trauma Center in Nevada”… Due to the hospital being the only Level 1 Trauma Center in Nevada, that’s where the president will go during a medical emergency. Van Houweling said the hospital was alerted around 2:15 p.m. about a possible medical issue with the president. Why didn’t the big news networks make a big deal about this? Apparently “hundreds of Las Vegas Metropolitan officers” heard the emergency orders that were issued… Several law enforcement officers on duty that day were informed over the radio that the president was dealing with an unspecified medical emergency. Far from a case of the sniffles, this was sent out on encrypted police airwaves as if something akin to a five-alarm fire had broken out. Our sources estimate that it was “easily” hundreds of Las Vegas Metropolitan officers and employees who heard the broadcasts live, so a curious media shouldn’t have a problem reporting any follow-ups to this story. The dispatches made clear that this was much more than a mere change of plans, because it set into motion so much of their on-duty emergency response apparatus. Radio dispatchers responsible for coordinating with the president’s detail requested an immediate “surge” of law enforcement resources into the area, both to secure the vicinity and to expedite the president’s movement. Ultimately, Biden must have improved significantly, because he did not end up going to the hospital. Instead, he was taken to the airport where he departed on Air Force One. According to a reporter that was on the plane, Air Force One “flew so fast the plane shook”… The Daily Mail’s Emily Goodin posted last Wednesday night after Air Force One landed in Delaware, “POTUS arrives in Dover. “I’m doing well,” he said. Flight time from Vegas was 3 hour 48 minutes. AF1 flew so fast the plane shook” (Travel Math has normal Vegas to Dover timed at 4 hours and 50 minutes.) It is obvious that something happened in Las Vegas and it is being hushed up. Could this medical emergency have played a role in Biden’s decision to suddenly exit the race? #2 The Oversight Project, a watchdog group that is part of the Heritage Foundation, has uncovered some absolutely stunning information. Their analysis of phone data has revealed that someone that was regularly at the home where Thomas Matthew Crooks lived also visited a building in Washington D.C. that is located very close to an FBI office… Who visited Thomas Crooks’ home before he attempted to assassinate President Trump? Mobile ad data analysis reveals someone who regularly visited Crooks’ Pennsylvania home also visited a building in DC near an FBI office. Many people do not realize that our phones are constantly gathering data on all of us. In this case, phone data could be the key in determining why Crooks did what he did. According to the Oversight Project, there were nine phones that “were located at Crooks’ home and work within the last year”… The Oversight Project identified nine devices linked to AD-IDs that were located at Crooks’ home and work within the last year. Per the Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project: “We found the assassin’s connections through our in-depth analysis of mobile ad data to track movements of Crooks and his associates” “To do this, we tracked devices that regularly visited both Crooks’s home and place of work and followed them,” the Oversight Project said. One of those phones made a trip to Washington. Who owned that phone? And who did that person meet with in Washington? We definitely need answers to those questions. #3 It has been determined that one of the “alien mummies” that has been discovered in Peru has fingerprints that are not human… Bizarre diagonal grooves along the fingertips and toes of one of Peru’s eerie and hotly debated ‘alien mummies’ points to a nonhuman origin for these odd remains. Worldwide controversy has followed the small peculiar specimens since September, when veteran broadcast journalist and prolific UFO researcher Jaime Maussan first presented two alleged ‘alien’ corpses to Mexico’s congress last year. The man that examined the fingers of this “alien mummy” is actually a defense attorney that once worked as a prosecutor in Colorado… Now DailyMail.com has spoken to a former Colorado prosecutor and current defense attorney, who has examined one of the over half-a-dozen ‘alien’ specimens with the help of three independent forensic medical examiners from the United States. ‘These were not traditional human fingerprint patterns,’ that attorney, Joshua McDowell, told DailyMail.com. This guy sounds quite credible, and the Daily Mail has posted a photo of the bizarre fingerprints on this “alien mummy”. If this creature and the other “alien mummies” that have been discovered are not human, what are they? As I detailed in my latest book, I believe that the stage is being set for a great deception that will shake the entire world. Of course the truth is that deception is already everywhere around us. We aren’t being told the truth about Biden. We aren’t being told the truth about Trump’s shooter. And there are hundreds of other things that we aren’t being told the truth about. George Orwell once warned us that “in a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act”. Sadly, Orwell’s statement is more relevant today than ever, and a lot more deception is on the way.
