As I just wrote, Egyptians did not consider themselves Arabs until Gamal Abdel Nasser’s pan-Arabism in the late 50's and 60's. And this took many Egyptians by surprise who had considered themselves, until then, as forming a distinct culture mostly unrelated to the Levant. Egypt is a multitude of cultures; it doesn’t…

Not to mention Egypt. This is pre-Islamic and pre-Arab conquest; Egyptians were (are) Africans, and, in fact, until Gamal Abdel Nasser and his pan-Arabism, Egyptians did not identify as Arabs, at all. It is only extremely recently that people associate Egypt with the Middle East. Until the 1950's and 60's, Egyptians…

Especially when there were so many other talented actresses at that time who didn’t require pancaked bronzer and a terrible wig.

This is more like if they kept making same Batman movie over and over again. If I trusted Hollywood to do her justice, I'd rather have a Hatshepsut movie. 

Oh, she was ferociously intelligent (notwithstanding her family background of MANY Generations of brother-sister incest). I think she was the first ruler of the Ptolemaic dynasty to speak Egyptian.

I am ok with supers movies, due to a lot of written original material.

Another group of people finds this all quite tedious and thinks that since it’s Sunday night everyone should log off.

Nope. But has that every stopped the Hollywood machine?

Do we really need another Cleopatra movie? 

I’m ok with letting the non-Harris Senate Democrats talk about that. The Biden campaign needs to avoid making a sound bite for attack ads down the stretch. I hope they do pack the SC to at least make up for the seat that was stolen from Obama by Moscow Mitch’s ratfucking.

But he’s also smug.  Soooooooo fucking smug.  That’s why I always want to punch him.  That and his Fisher-Price people hair.  

I would make the argument that Pence’s Vice Presidency has been as ineffective as Quayle’s but with much higher consequences, given his ineptitude’s body count.

I would also argue that when you are debating one of the most boring, ineffectual, uninspiring, milquetoast white men in our nation’s history and you are a confident, competent, eloquent woman with an amazing story, you can probably win by simply walking onstage.

I am so sorry that this happened to you. I’m afraid this bucket was found circa 2011-2013 so I don’t know if it could help. But if what Alex described about the police response is true, and I believe him completely, law enforcement is taking this sort of thing seriously. Has the family or you been in contact with…

Dead Lady Thrift is 100000% made up lol

What. The actual. Fuck. I would have listed that house in a New Yor-England minute.

Did this occur during the time the serial killer Israel Keyes was active? Burying a “murder bucket” in a random location and coming back to it years later were part of his MO. He died in prison, but the FBI is still investigating his activities to identify victims. 

I bet it was Israel Keyes> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel_Keyes

It’s 100% fake. Pretty bummed they led with that one on this year’s post. Still, I love these, and on balance the stories are great and believable (even though I have, unfortunately, come to the conclusion that ghosts aren’t real, as much as I want them to be).

What’s In the Bucket?
