Every time a Michael Jackson hater runs out of legal arguments regarding his 2005 acquittal, they rush to the internet and pull out the same sensationalist story: “The Neverland police reports and the disturbing books.” They act as if it's some newly discovered bombshell, but the truth is simple: all of this was debated, scrutinized, and ultimately rejected by the jury in court more than 20 years ago.

Let me explain once and for all what the FBI and the American justice system actually concluded about the books found in Michael's room.
Michael never even touched those books (zero fingerprints). Let's start with the fact that immediately destroys this narrative. Forensic investigators examined the books seized from Neverland and found that Michael Jackson's fingerprints were not present on the interior pages of any of them. Michael owned a massive library of more than 10,000 books. As he explained in interviews, he received thousands of gifts, packages, photography books, and publications from fans, photographers, and publishers around the world. Many of those items went straight onto shelves without him ever opening them or even knowing exactly what they contained. The prosecution tried to blame a man for books he may never have even flipped through.
They were 100% legal art books. The titles seized by investigators, including works associated with artists such as James Bidgood, Simen Johan, and Kelly Klein, were collections of photography, naturist imagery, and adult artistic content. They were legally published, available through mainstream retailers, and cataloged by major libraries. None of them met the legal definition of child pornography. If there had been even the slightest indication of illegal content, Michael would have been charged with possessing prohibited material back in either 1993 or 2003. That never happened.

Even the prosecutor admitted it. Ron Zonen, one of the prosecutors who worked tirelessly to secure a conviction in 2005, later acknowledged a key fact: “There was no child pornography. There were no videos involving children.” The prosecution attempted to use the books as part of a broader theory of grooming, hoping to create a particular impression in the minds of jurors. But speculation is not evidence, and the strategy ultimately failed.

In 2016, tabloids tried to revive the story. Websites such as Radar Online republished old allegations and claimed to reveal shocking new evidence. Critics pointed out serious issues with those reports, including allegations that certain images had been digitally altered or presented in a misleading way. Some observers also noted the inclusion of material from works published years after the original Neverland searches, raising questions about the accuracy and reliability of the reports. The controversy only reinforced how heavily disputed those claims were.
The FBI found nothing illegal. Federal authorities spent years examining allegations involving Michael Jackson. Investigators reviewed computers, hard drives, documents, and other materials seized from Neverland. After all of that scrutiny, no child pornography charges resulted from those investigations. Reports indicated that investigators found adult heterosexual pornography, which is completely legal for an adult to possess. Michael Jackson was an adult man, and possessing legal adult pornography is not a crime anywhere in the United States. The jury already saw all of this. During the 2005 trial, jurors reviewed the books, heard the testimony, examined the evidence, and listened to the prosecution's theories. They were not kept in the dark. They saw the very material that critics continue to cite today. After months of testimony and deliberation, the result was clear Michael Jackson was found not guilty on all 14 counts.
Bringing up these books today as if they are some newly discovered smoking gun does not demonstrate a deep understanding of the case.

too many people have forgotten that gay rights and acceptance are VERY new concepts.

not too long ago, “coming out” was a life altering decision a gay person would have to make. you risked friends, family, your job, your LIFE.

anyone shaming him can go to hell.

I’m so sick and tired of everyone attacking every married gay man who comes out as automatically being аbusive to the wife because he married her while being in the closet.

We never hear the full context and just like you’d expect, all the posts in the replies are just trashing this guy relentlessly for using her.

When you actually dig into the context it starts to make a lot more sense why this situation happened and shows a very different type of story.

Caleb Shomo was in the band “Attack! Attack!” and they blew up when he was only 15 years old and barely in high school.

His now/soon to be ex-wife, Fleur is 8 years older than him and she started officially dating him right after he turned 17 and she was 25. They got married 2 years later when he was only 19.

A 25 year old woman isn’t going to date a Jr in high school if he wasn’t already a famous rock star making millions of dollars.

It’s very likely that he wasn’t even fully aware of his sexuality when they started dating/talking. Many gay men don’t understand their sexuality till later in life.

You can certainly argue that he should have ended it sooner but let’s stop pretending that there’s not more to this story. Context matters.

Anakin’s dialogue isn’t poorly written or poorly delivered. He’s an emotionally stunted, traumatized child soldier raised in an order that taught him to suppress his emotions instead of process them. Of course he’s awkward, intense, and bad at talking to girls.

His cadence and tone foreshadow Darth Vader with the same stiffness, intensity, and unnerving quality. He’s just not actually intimidating yet so people hated him.

Also not sure why people expected one of the most horrific villains in cinematic history to be a cool likable guy growing up lmfao

[Ju@n🍍 @JuanIBS98]

La caída de Anakin Skywalker al lado oscuro se debe principalmente a lo dogmática que era la Orden Jedi.

De niño le dijeron que no lo iban a aceptar por el miedo a la pérdida de su madre, algo completamente lógico, y lejos de ayudarle psicológica y espiritualmente a aceptar sus emociones, le enseñaron que NO debía sentir.

“El miedo lleva a la ira, la ira lleva al odio, el odio lleva al sufrimiento”.

Eso le dijo Yoda a Anakin, y cuando ocurre la Orden 66, el mismo Yoda siente una pérdida tremenda por los Jedi caídos, pero no transforma ese dolor en ira ni venganza hacia Sidious porque sabe controlar dichas emociones a diferencia de Anakin que fue adiestrado como un soldado y no como un Jedi. De hecho fue más recompensado por sus éxitos militares que por su destreza Jedi.

Y sumado a la desconfianza del consejo aún sabiendo que era el elegido (miedo de los Jedi a lo que podía ocurrir en su futuro), fue lo que le brindó a Palpatine la oportunidad de manipulación a pesar de que Anakin era muy leal a la orden (pese a la desconfianza de la orden ya mencionada).

Mención especial para Obi-Wan, que en mi opinión, adiestro a Anakin lo mejor que pudo.

Un maestro que sufrió la pérdida de su maestro Qui-Gon y de su amada Satine pero que aprendió desde niño en la Orden y que, en el caso de la pérdida de Qui-Gon, pudo canalizar esa ira inmediata tras vencer a Maul en cumplir la última voluntad de su maestro, adiestrar a Anakin.

En conclusión: Los Jedi fueron víctimas de sus propios dogmas

A catástrofe de Raccoon City é maravilhosa pra Resident Evil pq dá pra criar narrativas infinitas de como pessoas diferentes lidaram com o evento

Já teve Re2, Re3, Resident Evil OutBreak, é um jeito fácil de criar histórias pra franquia sem fugir da lore, a cidade é enorme

People really think they’ll be having sex every single time 😂

That first month? Yeah, you’re going at it every day, maybe even twice before breakfast. You’re basically allergic to clothes. But give it time and reality checks in. You go from 10+ times a week to 4-5, and that’s still a win.

Living together means sex is on tap 24/7, so eventually your brain goes, “Oh cool, it’s here if I want it” and chills out. When you don’t live together, every time you link up it’s straight to the bedroom before you even say “how was your day?” Scarcity does things to you.

But here’s the twist: living together unlocks other types of intimacy you couldn’t really tap into before. Cuddling while doing nothing, showering together without it turning into an Olympic event, falling asleep mid-convo. Your sex life isn’t dying — it’s just not the only player on the team anymore.

Less frequency doesn’t mean boring. It means you’ve got more ways to be close than just the obvious one.

[Ashton Blaise @theashtonblaise]

Some people didn’t get to have a childhood. Some people grew up with abuse or in poverty and meeting characters they loved as a child is healing for them.

They work countless hours at their job just to afford these breaks from life so they can experience this for a moment.

Let them.

[Soul @soullig]

u know back in the day I studied criminal justice in high school. My teacher was telling us about how he’d never break the law but then the convo got rly dark n serious almost when he said but if it came down to his son and having what they needed. He’d start stealing and do what he needed to do. And I never forgot that conversation because this is what happens. When you deny people a basic right, when you deny families and children of basic human needs it’s going to be a lot more stealing. It’s going to be a lot more violence. When people have nothing to lose and you’ve already stripped them of everything they had they stop fearing consequence. When you take control of every resource, deliberately make it inaccessible by price gouging, yet turn around and shame people who ARE working hard and still cannot afford resources that are a basic human right, people are going to become more and more angry. When it comes to taking food out of peoples mouths, they are going to start doing what they have to do to feed their families. If you show no regard for human life why would people show regard for yours. It’s only going to continue to get worse.

You don’t see neighborhoods like this anymore because most young parents don’t own homes. Less than 5% of mortgage holders are under 30 in major metros, and the average homeowner is over 50.

That’s why most neighborhoods or suburbs feel empty, they’re owned by older people whose kids are grown, while younger families are renting apartments & priced out of the communities.

Charlie Kirk was just assassinated, that’s tragic, full stop.

But let’s not rewrite the man’s record. He publicly opposed the Civil Rights Act. He mocked George Floyd. He said he’d fear flying with Black pilots and vowed to force his daughter to carry a pregnancy even after rape.

You can mourn the death and still tell the truth.
