A new report from GLAAD (Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) claimed that there’s been a decrease in what it labeled LGBTQ representation in films, down from a high the previous year. According to the advocacy group’s 2024 Studio Responsibility Index, the study — which tracks the “quantity, quality and diversity” of LGBTQ characters in movies — found that of these 256 films in 2023, 70 contained an LGBTQ character. The report bemoaned that this was down from the 100 LGBTQ characters that appeared in 350 movies the organization tracked in 2022. It looked at the movies from the ten major studios, listed as Netflix, The Walt Disney Studios, A24, Amazon Studios, Warner Bros. Discover, Apple TV+, Lionsgate, NBCUniversal, Paramount Global, Sony, and their subsidiaries, GLAAD noted. GLAAD’s Studio Responsibility Index Finds Decline in Overall LGBTQ Representation, But More Lead Roles and Racial Diversityhttps://t.co/BISh3FabKG — Variety (@Variety) September 17, 2024 The report analyzed how each of these studios did representing the LGBTQ community and the results are pretty shocking. Despite having numerous films that fit this criteria, GLAAD gave most an “insufficient” or “fair” rating. For example, Walt Disney, who it said produced 14 “LGBTQ-inclusive” films out of 37, was given an “insufficient” score. A24 created 5 “LGBTQ-inclusive” films out of just 16 movies, and also was considered “insufficient.” In one section of the report, the organization bemoaned the fact that there hadn’t been enough LGBTQ characters in kids/family entertainment, writing that “the overall lack of representation in the kids and family genre is disappointing.” “Last year, GLAAD called for more representation in this area, and rather than stepping up, studios told even fewer LGBTQ stories in kids and family films this year,” it added. Earlier this year, The “Where We Are on TV” report from GLAAD noted that 468 LGBT characters appeared on TV shows last year compared to 596 the previous year, as previously reported. It found that 36% of those characters would not be returning for the upcoming season. GLAAD reported 39 LGBT regulars on 64 primetime series, representing a decrease of 44% (31 characters) compared to the previous year. However, this reduction could be partly due to fewer primetime shows across the spectrum. On cable, the watchdog organization noted 77 LGBT characters, a 45% drop from last year. Those 77 will be further reduced next year as 38 will leave due to canceled shows or characters dying or being written off.  Despite recent decreases, LGBTQ representation has definitely increased since the first Studio Responsibility Index report in 2013. At that time, 14 films out of the 101 it looked at from major studios in the 2012 calendar year, “contained characters identified as lesbian, gay or bisexual. There were no films containing transgender characters.” Amanda Harding contributed to this piece. Related: If It Feels Like LGBTQ Characters Are Everywhere On TV, GLAAD Just Confirmed It

When it comes to the reaction to the second attempted assassination in the last eight weeks on Donald Trump, the reaction from the Left-wing legacy media and Democrats is astonishing — the reaction that the real problem here is Trump’s rhetoric. According to these people, if someone tried to assassinate Joe Biden or Kamala Harris, God forbid, the problem would be Trump’s rhetoric. And if somebody attempts to assassinate Trump, the problem is also his rhetoric. Underlying all of this appears to be a secret desire that some on the Left have actually let slip, which is that it would be much better if Trump just went away and something very, very bad happened to him. Many of the people on the Left are not going to say they want Trump to get shot in the head or something as graphic as that. But they believe Trump is a uniquely dangerous figure, which is why every major Democratic politician has said precisely that. They constantly suggest Trump is somehow a unique danger to the republic.  For those who don’t have an institutional memory of politics, Democrats used to say the same about Mitt Romney, John McCain, and George W. Bush. They have said it more with regard to Trump because he is an out-of-the-box figure who defeated their chosen candidate, Hillary Clinton, in 2016. But a feeling persists among folks on the Left, almost an assassination mania, when a Right-wing president is in office. An entire movie was made while George W. Bush was president of the United States titled, “The Assassination of George W. Bush.”  So the question is: Why?  I think the answer has to do with the way the Right sees the Left and the way the Left sees the Right in this country. Conservatives tend not to see people on the Left as evil. They tend to see them as misguided. But people on the Left have a tendency to see people on the Right as evil, as actually morally deficient in some key respect. WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show But the crux of the matter is this: People on the Left also have another viewpoint which makes it hard for them to sustain the belief that conservatives are evil. They believe human beings are inherently good, yet Right-wingers are evil, beliefs which contradict each other. If you’re on the Right, you tend to believe human beings are capable of both good and evil, and because of that, many people who are doing bad things are not doing so because they’re innately evil; they’re doing so because they’ve made bad decisions.  That belief in the imperfectability of mankind leads to a forgiveness-oriented nature toward a fellow man. If you believe that human beings are not perfectable, if you believe that all human beings struggle with sin, that means you’re significantly more likely to be forgiving of your neighbor because you struggle with the same problems. You also have trouble making decisions. Sometimes you have a problem discerning between what’s good and what’s bad.  However, for the Left, the idea is that all human beings are created absolutely good, innocent, and decent, so the Left has a very difficult time understanding people who don’t think like they do. There must be something defective about those people. So what do they think about leaders? If you are a conservative, you tend to think that leaders of Left-wing movements have popular backing. You don’t find it all that hard to understand that in a democracy, people who disagree with you might be wrong, they might be misguided, they might believe in what’s evil, but they have a popular movement behind them. Thus, when it comes to horrible acts like assassination, removing a leader does not change the nature of the movement. On the Right side of the aisle, nobody actually believes if, God forbid, something happened to Harris, natural or otherwise, that the movement backing Harris would just dissipate and go away. Nobody actually believes that.  But the reverse is not true. Because many on the Left believe people are naturally good but Trump, as a “Right-wing leader,” is a moral defective leading people astray, they too believe that if Trump were removed from the scene, then everything would go back to normal, that there would be a sort of reversion back to the innate goodness of humanity. That’s the only way I can explain the tepid response to an attempted assassination against a political figure in the United States. Two in the span of eight weeks. Am I Racist? Is In Theaters NOW — Get Your Tickets Here! I would be absolutely livid and beside myself if somebody tried to assassinate a politician that I radically disagree with — for example, Joe Biden or Kamala Harris. That would be a grave act of evil. That person should be found. That person should be put on death row, obviously. And anybody who even attempted such would be committing a grave act of evil, and, by the way, a useless act of evil, even from a politically-conflicting perspective because getting rid of somebody on the other side of the aisle doesn’t change the nature of the political conflicts in general. Human beings think differently. Human beings have flaws. Human beings disagree.  On the Left, there is this weird idea that if something happened to Trump, the world would just be a better place. It’s unmistakable in their rhetoric. Again, they’re not going to say out loud they wish Trump would get shot. Many of them are not going to say that out loud — because I think they would have a hard time facing up to the possibility that many of them actually believe the world would be better off if Donald Trump just disappeared. But the reality is that the rhetoric they are constantly expressing with regard to Trump is not the same as rhetoric expressed about Harris or Biden by the Right. It just isn’t. When people on the Right talk about Biden or Harris, we say that he’s a horrible president, and she’s a horrible vice president. They’re doing terrible things for the country, but nobody actually believes they are such single, important figures that there isn’t a popular movement backing them. If Biden were to retire or pass away tomorrow, to just disappear from the public scene, the movement behind him would be exactly the same. If Harris had not been the nominee, it would’ve been somebody else. Everybody knows this. But the Left does not believe this about Trump. They believe that he is the single font of evil in the modern world. The corollary to that is, if you keep saying over and over that Trump is not only the apex of evil, but a sort of weird, evil magician who can whip people into a cult-like frenzy around him, then removal of this figure would change the trajectory of history. And all it takes is one nut to take that message seriously — to pick up a gun, sit in a tree for 12 hours, and wait for a former president to reach his location on a golf course and shoot him.

A new photo has been released which shows the Titanic submersible Titan’s final resting spot after the underwater craft imploded, killing all five of its passengers in June 2023. During the U.S. Coast Guard hearing on Monday into the cause of the implosion of the OceanGate vessel, officials revealed a photo that shows the submersible on the bottom of the ocean floor in the North Atlantic Ocean, following its final dive to see the remains of the Titanic on June 18, 2023, People magazine reported. The image shows the underwater craft with its tail cone embedded into the sea floor. The photo was taken by a remotely operated vehicle (ROV), called the Pelagic Research Services 6000, which made the discovery some 12,000 feet below the surface. ?#BREAKING: Newly released images have just revealed the wreckage of the OceanGate Titan submersible resting on the seabed, just 1,600 feet from the Titanic’s bow. The submersible tragically imploded in June 2023, killing all five onboard. pic.twitter.com/Zt0xcx7dIp — R A W S A L E R T S (@rawsalerts) September 16, 2024 Officials said during the hearing that the new photo has led to the “conclusive evidence of a catastrophic loss” of the submersible and the passengers on board. Also revealed during the hearing was the final messages from the doomed submersible Titan, with the crew messaging “all good here” only minutes before all contact was lost forever, as previously reported. Text messages between Titan and the support ship, the Polar Prince, start after the vessel left the ship around 9:20 a.m. off the coast of Canada. After about 40 minutes, routine messages between the two took a turn with the Polar Prince asking numerous times if the submersible could see the ship on its display. When there was no response, the ship started sending urgent messages. Am I Racist? Is In Theaters NOW — Get Your Tickets Here! After about 15 minutes, Titan responded that it had communication, and the Polar Prince replied, “I need better comms from you.” Titan, in turn, responded, “yes,” and said they “lost system oand [sic] chat settings.” At 10:15 a.m., the Polar Prince asked again, “status? do you see polar prince on your display?” Titan responded soon after, “yes,” and, “all good here.” Minutes later, Titan notified the Polar Prince that they were “east south east [of] the nbow [sic],” which officials suspected meant the crew had almost reached their destination, the wreckage of the Titanic. Titan then asked the Polar Prince if they were also at the bow, and Polar Prince said, “making our way there … your position jumps significantly each ping” — which the ship repeated to the Titan at 10:36. At 10:47, Titan messaged that they “dropped two [weights],” and contact was then lost almost immediately, at 10:47:32 a.m., according to the Coast Guard. That was at a depth of nearly 3,350 meters and a pressure of 4,900 pounds per square inch, the magazine noted. After the ship lost contact with Titan, a four-day rescue mission from the United States and Canada ensued including using airplanes, boats, and submersibles in the attempt to find and save the crew, Variety noted. On the fourth day, the United States Coast Guard announced that an ROV had found debris from the Titan near the Titanic. Related: Final Message From Doomed Titanic Submersible Revealed

That's a wrap, folks

The following narratives are a collection of Bigfoot & wildman sightings and encounters reported by eyewitnesses to early media.Savage Attempts to Kidnap WomenMcNairy County, Tennessee - April 13, 1871 -- "We learn that between Sobby and Crainsville on what is called Piney, in McNairy County, TN a strange and frightful savage has been observed for several weeks.He is said to be seven feet high and possessed of great muscular power. His eyes are unusually large and fiery red; his hair hangs in a tangle and matted mass below his waist, and his beard reaches below his middle. His entire body is covered with hair and his whole aspect is most frightful. He shuns the sight of them but approaches with wild and horrid screams of delight every woman who is unaccompanied by a man.He sometimes with great caution, approaches houses and should he see a man he runs away with astonishing swiftness, leaping the tallest fences with the ease of a deer, defying alike the pursuit of men and dogs. He has frightened several women by attempting to carry them off, as well as by his horrid aspect and the whole country around Sobby is in consternation. The citizens are now scouring the woods and are determined either to capture or drive off the monster.” - The Jackson Tennessee Whig - April 13, 1871-----Did a Hairy Monster Stalk Tazewell County, Illinois?Monday, Nov. 06, 2006 -- PEKIN, Illinois - Thirty-four years ago in Tazewell County, 100 armed men walked the woods around East Peoria's Cole Hollow Road in search of a monster.The search was called off about 7:45 p.m. when one of the men accidentally shot himself in the foot. The creature was never found.The monster hunters were looking for was dubbed the Cohomo Monster, a beast thought to be lurking in Tazewell County in the summer of 1972.James Donahue, Tazewell County Sheriff in 1972, still remembers the infectious hysteria of that summer."At the time it was a very big deal," Donahue recently told the Pekin Daily Times. "Several people indicated they'd seen a monster up in that area. It was described as something like Bigfoot. All the neighbors showed up. We spent a lot of time up there. We never found anything to substantiate the claims. We were up there for a week or two weeks. A lot of volunteer people came out looking for this monster."On Tuesday, July 25, 1972, Creve Coeur authorities reported that a witness saw something big swimming in the Illinois River. The following evening, the Tazewell County Sheriff's Department received a call from an Eureka man who said he and his family were having a birthday party in Fondulac Park in East Peoria. The witness said he and his party saw strange lights come in a vertical position and go down behind some trees. The light allegedly left a vapor or smoke trail.That same night, more than 200 phone calls about monster sightings jammed the switchboard at the East Peoria Police Department.On July 28, a rural Pekin woman reported that she saw Cohomo while picking berries by an old coal mine. The woman told the Tazewell County Sheriff's office she was so scared she ran off, leaving her purse behind.That same night, East Peoria Police said two reliable citizens claimed they saw Cohomo. It was described as 10 feet tall. The creature's face had long, gray U-shaped ears and a red mouth with sharp teeth. The reliable citizens said the creature possessed thumbs with long second joints and looked like a cross between an ape and a caveman.Newspaper articles of the time suggest that Cohomo had a horrible smell, sometimes compared to that of a wet dog, rotten eggs, or as sulphur-like. The Cohomo craze swept over Tazewell County.It's hard to pin down exactly when and where all the excitement over the Cohomo monster started. Old articles found in the Daily Times archives blame a monster called Momo who was first spotted in rural northeastern Missouri a year before the Tazewell County sightings.One of the first Illinois reports came from Randy Emert, then 18, of Peoria, who claimed he spotted some type of hairy creature in the woods near Cole Hollow Road in Tazewell County. Emert said he didn't report seeing the monster at first because he feared people would think him crazy.In 1991, the Peoria Journal Star received a phone call from Emert, who said that he made the whole thing up. Emert told the newspaper that he and his friends made the story up to scare another friend who worked late nights at a gas station.But one remains. If Cohomo was the product of mass hallucination, caused by the sightings of a Missouri monster called Momo, why did only the citizens of Tazewell County invent the elusive beast?And although he has no idea what it may have been, Donahue says he thinks somebody may have seen something. - Nick Vogel - Pekin Daily Times-----Winsted Wildman Craze of 1895 Made Things a Little HairyWinsted, Connecticut -- Remember the Bigfoot craze of the 1970s and ‘80s? You couldn't go anywhere without hearing about a new Bigfoot sighting or seeing a television documentary about the legend of the large, apelike man who lived in the wilderness.‘The Six Million Dollar Man,' portrayed by actor Lee Majors in the 1970s television series, had a run-in or two with the big fellow. Then, in 1987, Bigfoot made his big-screen debut in ‘Harry and the Hendersons.'But, long before the hairy, 9-foot tall enigmatic beast ever hit the television screens and long before its image appeared on little boys' tin lunchboxes, a Bigfoot-esque creature was actually spotted right here in Winsted."They called him the Winsted Wildman," said Joseph Cadrain, a local historian and writer who has recounted the tale of the local Bigfoot several times. "He was seen in 1895 and the sighting caused quite a stir at the time."A stir, to say the least.The initial sighting was made "on a sultry August day" recall newspaper clippings from the time.A local town official, Selectman Riley Smith, was the first to spot the creature.Other Winsteders later supposedly saw the creature as well, but it was Smith's sighting that was given the most credibility.According to Frank Wentworth's 1929 book, ‘The Winsted Wildman and Other Tales,' Smith went up to pick berries near the Colebrook town line on Lowsaw Road in an area known then as Indian Meadow."While (Smith) was stooped over picking berries, his bulldog (Ned), which is noted for its pluck, ran with a whine to him and stationed itself between his legs," accounts from the Aug. 21, 1895 Winsted Herald reported."A second afterward a large man, stark naked and covered with hair all over his body, ran out of a clump of bushes and, with fearful yells and cries, made for the woods at lightning [sic] speed where he soon disappeared."Selectman Smith is a powerful, wiry man and has a reputation for having lots of sand, and his bulldog is also noted for his pluck, but Riley admits that he was badly scared and his dog was fairly paralyzed with fear."Word of Smith's tale spread throughout the little town quickly and it eventually piqued the interest of newspapers from New York and Boston.Soon after newsmen converged on Winsted — on what was then a very active rail service — to not only write about the incident but to try and capture the wildman and bring him back to the city on a return train trip.According to Wentworth, the gaggle of reporters were unsuccessful and all they went home with were sunburns and hangovers from the local beer.Townsfolk were scared, however, and a local posse was formed to find the mysterious creature. But like the reporters, the posse also was unsuccessful.Winsted residents speculated on who, or what, the wildman was, Cadrain said. Some newspaper reports from the time even said the wildman may have been an insane artist named Arthur Beckwith.Beckwith reportedly escaped from a New York insane asylum in 1894. But before that, Beckwith had escaped from a Litchfield asylum. He was found six months later in Cuba, living naked in the tropics and eating raw fruits and vegetables from the jungle.But Benjamin Thomas, Winsted's municipal historian, said the wildman story over the years took on a life of its own. He said most of the tale may be more fiction than fact."Something happened in 1895," Thomas said. "But townspeople talked about it and added to it over the years, that's for sure."Paul Rego has lived on Lowsaw Road, near Indian Meadow, for about 10 years. He said he's never seen anything in his rural area that even remotely resembles a Bigfoot."Nope, never seen nothing like that up here," Rego said recently. "We have some pretty wild-looking people in Winsted, but no wildman."In fact, the Web site does mention an official Bigfoot sighting in the area — in Litchfield in November of 1968, 73 years after Winsted's event."Maybe that was the Winsted Wildman's grandson," Cadrain said with a chuckle. "Who knows? The identity of the wildman was never determined, so maybe it was a Bigfoot." - American-Republican - July 13, 2002Monster Spotter's Guide to North AmericaHaunting Illinois: A Tourist's Guide to the Weird and Wild Places of the Prairie StateWeird Tennessee: Your Travel Guide to Tennessee's Local Legends and Best Kept Secrets**********PHANTOMS & MONSTERS VIDEO LIBRARYPOLL: WHAT DO YOU THINK?

In light of the horrific incidents of school shootings, the following post may bring some solace to those who believe in miracles and a divine spirit:Some places and dates are branded by disaster, by the stories of one horrible day that no one can forget: 9/11, Oklahoma City, Columbine. What sets this horrible day apart from others is what didn't happen. The small town of Cokeville, Wyoming was the sight of a parent's worst nightmare on May 16th, 1986 when a mentally disturbed man and his wife entered an elementary school with guns and a homemade gasoline bomb.The man's name was David Young, a former town marshal. He had been the tiny town's only police officer for six months in 1979 and when he was fired for misconduct, he moved to Tucson, Arizona. He and his wife returned to Cokeville in 1986 and carried out their insidious plan. Young had a manifesto called "Zero-Infiniti" and proclaimed "This is a revolution!" as he and his wife took an entire generation - over 160 children and teachers - hostage and wouldn't release them until he was given 300 million dollars and a personal phone call from Ronald Reagan, the President of the United States.Keeping all the children in a single room and standing in the middle of it, the Youngs began a standoff that would last 2 1/2 hours. David left the room leaving his wife alone and it was then that the bomb went off instantly killing Doris. The bomb had been on the shopping cart and, though it was homemade, it was powerful enough to destroy a section of the school. Moments before the explosion, Young handed the shoelace and clothespin to his wife and went across the hall to the bathroom. Doris Young apparently didn’t realize how sensitive the trigger mechanism was and accidentally caused it to go off.The blast knocked Williams off her feet. The room erupted in chaos as children ran screaming in the dark, smoke-filled room. While many kids, including her friends Amber Kemp and BranDee Prows, escaped through the window, Williams crawled toward a light at the doorway. She crossed paths with David Young at the door, and he tried to grab her shirt, but the tide of running children prevented him. She escaped but saw flames on her shirt and felt an odd, tickling sensation on her shoulder. She started rolling to try to put it out, but the burning sensation only intensified. She was saved from further burns when some teachers found her and slapped out the flames. Then they told her to run.Running toward the blast Young started to randomly spray the area with gunfire. Some kids were grazed by whizzing bullets, but none were hit. Through the chaos, everyone was eventually accounted for except for the Youngs. Upon finding his burning wife, Young shot her and then returned to the bathroom and shot himself.The miraculous thing is that despite the shooting and the detonation of the bomb, the Youngs were the only casualties. Some children and teachers suffered severe flash burns from the explosion and minor bullet wounds, but all were alive. In the last 20 years, this event has become known as The Miracle of Cokeville.The story runs deeper. Bomb experts called out to the scene and were stunned. They couldn't figure out why the school was still intact when a bomb that size should have obliterated the entire side of the building leaving everyone - the hostage-takers and the hostages - all dead. How was this possible? To this day no one has provided an explanation. The children and teachers were alive and that was all that apparently mattered.Then the children began to tell stories of angels who appeared to them and instructed them to move to a corner of the classroom because the bomb was about to explode. Some reported seeing beautiful figures in white while others said that they saw long-dead relatives telling them not to be afraid. Many said later that there was an angel in the room for every child and that each was protecting their charge. Some children said that they didn't see anything, but rather heard disembodied voices telling them that the disaster was about to happen and that they would be spared.Glenna Walker’s children saw a “beautiful lady” who told them to go near the window right before the explosion. When looking at a picture in a locket later, one of the children identified the lady as Walker’s deceased mother.Amy Bagaso Williams was a fifth-grader at the time of the incident. Recently she said, “You come to realize there are no coincidences. Too many things happened to the point that all of us survived that day. It was not an accident. It was a loving Heavenly Father who had a plan for all these children. He prevented it from turning into a horrible tragedy.”Williams had third-degree burns on her face, neck, and back. Because there were more than 75 injured, ambulances were dispatched to Montpelier, Idaho; Kemmerer, Wyo.; Evanston, Wyo.; and Utah. Her parents drove her to Montpelier, where the hospital had not received word of the bombing. “Get prepared for a long night,” Williams' father told them.Williams was lying in a hospital bed when she learned two Melchizedek priesthood holders were going room to room giving blessings. She asked for a blessing.“The blessing said Heavenly Father was there and watched over us, that he loves us, and although this terrible thing happened and my body was burned horribly, that I would heal and have no scars,” Williams said with emotion. “The scars I would have to overcome would be scars of forgiveness and trust.”Her pediatrician didn’t think such a promise was realistic, but Williams, feeling the same peaceful feeling she had felt earlier, believed the blessing. New skin grew in, and to this day she has no scarring, despite severe burns.“It was a miracle. I healed completely. Nobody has any idea I was in the Cokeville bombing,” she said.To commemorate the 20th anniversary in 2006, a group called the Cokeville Miracle Foundation compiled a 500-page book of accounts by many people who lived through the fateful day and titled it WITNESS TO MIRACLES, Remembering the Cokeville Elementary School BombingSusan Fiscus, Karla Toomer, and Chemene Petersen gathered information for the book. Survivors and residents of Cokeville were invited to a town celebration, and some talked about the event for the first time in two decades.To Save the ChildrenWhere Angels Tread: Real Stories of Miracles and Angelic InterventionBridge Between Worlds: Extraordinary Experiences That Changed LivesSources:time.combeliefnet.comslightlywarped.comdeseretnews.comksl.com'Bridge Between Worlds: Extraordinary Experiences That Changed Lives' - Dan Millman and Doug Childers - 2009**********PHANTOMS & MONSTERS VIDEO LIBRARYPOLL: WHAT DO YOU THINK?
