Female body sketch sitting down12/31/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() As we know (see also: Zeke, the three meth-heads), if you don’t find a way to survive your Death Date, you’re going out the same exact way you were originally supposed to die. Wait, what? It takes them a little while to figure out that this was just a preview of how they’re going to die if they don’t pass their final judgment, but it’s pretty clear to the audience what’s happening from the get-go. ➼ All our main passengers wake up gasping for air in their cute lil’ tents. So, why not walk through some of the wildest moments of Manifest’s final episode together? After all, we’re all on the same lifeboat. Someone who, as the series offers up its final set of conflicts and answers and some of its most bonkers moments yet, understands the inclination to yell, Wait, what? at the TV screen. And because it is a show that can be, well, a lot, it might be best to experience its conclusion with a friend. I didn’t even get into sapphires or the Divine Consciousness or the Glow! The goddess Ma’at? I don’t know her! Manifest is a cuckoo show that only gets more cuckoo with each development - it is endearing that way. ![]() If you’re reading this and you’ve never watched one minute of Manifest, you must be like “WHAT,” and what I want to say to you, sincerely, is “exactly.” Even if you are a longtime fan of Manifest, you must read that quick summary back and wonder what the hell is happening on this show. The day before the Death Date, volcanoes are popping up all over the world and Cal’s calling leads the main crew out to a very familiar location, where he disappears into the Glow and the stage is set for the final showdown between the passengers and whatever divine being has been pulling the strings all along. Thankfully, the passengers get an assist from Drea - pregnant with Jared’s baby no less, which is awkward since Jared and Mick have decided the end of the world is the perfect time to try dating again - who drills them an escape route. But wait! Things get even worse when the government issues “isolation protocol” and basically just locks everyone inside the detention center and leaves them to die. Since the passengers were counting on the good they’ve been doing through the callings to help them tip the scales of judgment in their favor, well, that’s a lot of pressure put on Cal. Things get worse when Ben, in a futile attempt to stop Angelina from hurting passengers by way of the false callings she can create with the Omega Sapphire fused to her hand, winds up getting rid of the callings for every passenger except for Cal. When season four, part two, picks up, the passengers are just months away from that Death Date with still nary a plan for how to stop it, plus the added obstacles of a public turned against them - all 828 passengers are kept locked up in a detention center - and wannabe-archangel-of-death-but-really-just-a-psychopath Angelina on the loose and more dangerous than ever. The passengers, led by sibling-duo Ben and Michaela Stone, learned some time ago that on June 4, 2024, they would all be judged as a group by a divine being, and if the good didn’t outweigh the bad, not only would they all be sentenced to death, but all of humanity would be too. The second half of season four sees the passengers of the ill-fated Flight 828 - which disappeared for five and a half years back in 2013 before returning with everyone intact, albeit now with the ability to receive “callings” about the future (which actually turn out to be memories, IT’S FINE) - facing down the apocalypse. ![]() The wild ride that is the mystery drama Manifest ends with its final ten episodes on Netflix and, not surprising anyone who’s watched the series, things only get wilder as it draws to a close. Warning: Deep spoilers for Manifest season four, part two, lie ahead. ![]()

Sentimentality was out, and satire, self-awareness, and sarcasm were in. MORE THAN 130 SHOWS PREMIERED IN 1989, but two stood out from the rest, and went on to make a lasting cultural impact transcending the boundaries of television: “Seinfeld” and “The Simpsons.” Together, they upended the long-standing TV tropes of teachable moments, neatly wrapped-up conflicts, loving relationships, and careful political correctness. Even “COPS” was a breakthrough - a “reality show” on the air three years before MTV’s “The Real World” debuted its motley cast of characters. Arsenio Hall became the first African-American to host his own major late-night talk show. “Life Goes On” was the first major series to feature a main character with Down syndrome. Sprinkled among the lighter fare, several innovative and even culture-shifting shows debuted. On network television (then the top source of daily entertainment for most Americans), viewers were introduced to new shows like “Baywatch,” “Saved by The Bell,” and “The California Raisin Show” (itself an example of the rise of product placement and content marketing). Pop culture in 1989 was no different: the Nintendo Game Boy foretold a world of portable gaming on handheld devices Milli Vanilli, with four of the year’s biggest hits (before their careers were derailed by the revelation that they couldn’t sing and were just lip-synching), signaled the bait-and-switch of over-produced, manufactured mainstream music stars the first commercially-available dial-up internet connection was a small crack in the dam that released the flood wave of the Digital Age.

And it also made me want to do it more in life, like, just mess around with and not get too fixed on anything. Fools Gold utilized numerous stunning locations to bring its story to life. “I know that doesn’t make any sense, but it was just – it’s nice. The first half of Serenity, which stars Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway, is about what you’d expect from the trailers, which frame the film as a sexy thriller.

The actress said she felt like she could tell better jokes thanks to her dyed hair.Īnne explained: “I felt funnier! I don’t know why, but I just felt that I could be funnier while saying less.

Anne, 36 – who stars alongside Matthew McConaughey in the new movie – was blown away by what she witnessed during the shoot. The film centers around Captain Malcolm Reynolds, a hardened veteran (on the losing side) of a galactic civil war, who now ekes out a living pulling off small crimes and transport-for-hire aboard his ship, Serenity. ![]() Gimp bracelet with beads diy12/31/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() There is also a super cobra technique to make the bracelets larger when the strands bonded around the cobra. When you try to reproduce a cobra-like knot, you need to tie two strands around the other two strands back and forth. Using this technique is very popular among gimp bracelets makers. You can also add twists while knitting the gimp strips to improve the bracelet form. While in the square stitch, you cross the ends straight over here, you should cross the ends diagonally. Spiral gimp bracelets look more like cylindrical knotting. You can create a double or triple stitch by doubling the bracelet size. Take the end of one strand, cross opposite ends, then take one of the other ends and go over the first and under the second. To make such a bracelet, two strands are used. The bracelets made in square or box stitch are the most common. Thus we will distinguish gimp bracelets by the type of knot they were produced of. This is why the definition of their types is quite strange. Gimp bracelet typesĮveryone who creates a gimp bracelet may discover a new type. Whether you like a single-strap bracelet or a massive double or triple wristband, you should be acquainted with gimp bracelet types. The variety of gimp bracelets techniques is immense: from the complexity of the process to other knick-knackery additions. To finish the bracelet, make a knot at the end, slide a bead, and knot it. As another knotting example, you may tie a forward knot on the string around the others and repeat with a backward knot. Then, place another string at the center of the first one, slide it behind, and knot around. ![]() The diameter of the loop should equal the diameter of your bead. Every type of bracelet starts with making a loop at the top by folding the lacing in half. To make a gimp bracelet, you must have plastic lacing, paper tape, scissors, a wood bead with a large hole, and glue. ![]() By the way, it is better to watch tutorials but to have a short glimpse this information should be appropriate. You can create your accessory by yourself at a minimum cost.

Olive and thyme cast iron12/31/2023 ![]() I love this recipe and so does my husband. This recipe turned my meat hating family into stake eaters! I’ll reduce it by about 1/2 a tablespoon next time. However, this recipe should make clear in the title that the pan sauce is a mustard pan sauce, because the mustard is that strong. Perfect instructions for cooking a 1 inch thick boneless ribeye steak. It's not too salty, as long as you taste as you go. I doubled this recipe so that I could sop up the goodness with the roasted potatoes on the side. I couldn't get fresh thyme so I used almost-wilting sage from the back of the fridge and it had a wonderful, earthy effect on the entire dish. I agree with others that it's quite mustard-y, so just whisk in a tablespoon, taste, add more, taste, etc. This is a solid foundational sauce recipe! There is a lot of room for creativity. We love this recipe for special occasions and it works every time. I made this recipe for my partner who told me it was the best steak he's ever eaten.
