Taylor Swift’s third re-recorded album, Speak Now (Taylor’s Version), has earned over 575,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. in its first four days of release (July 7-10), according to initial reports to Luminate — marking the biggest week for any album in 2023. Of that sum, album sales comprise over 400,000 copies – the largest sales week for an album this year, too.
Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) is a re-recorded version of Swift’s 2010 No. 1 Billboard 200 studio album Speak Now. The 22-track re-recorded edition includes new recordings of the original album’s 14 standard tracks, along with bonus cuts and previously unreleased “From the Vault” recordings. Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) follows Swift’s re-recorded Red and Fearless albums, released in 2021. Both debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart.
If Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) debuts at No. 1 on the July 22-dated Billboard 200 chart (which reflects the tracking week ending July 13), Swift’s count of No. 1 albums will rise to 12, surpassing Barbra Streisand (with 11 leaders) for the most No. 1 albums among female artists. Swift would also tie Drake for the third-most No. 1s among all acts, with only The Beatles (19) and Jay-Z (14) ahead of them. (The Billboard 200 began publishing on a regular, weekly basis in March 1956.) The top 10 of the July 22-dated Billboard 200 chart is scheduled to be announced on Sunday, July 16.
The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album.
2023’s previous largest week, by equivalent album units earned, was tallied by Morgan Wallen’s One Thing at a Time, which launched with 501,000 units in the week ending March 9, as reflected on the Billboard 200 chart dated March 18. The year’s largest sales week was held by the debut frame of Stray Kids’ 5-STAR with 235,000 copies sold in the week ending June 8, as reflected on the June 17-dated charts.
Sales: With over 400,000 sold in only four days, Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) already has the largest sales week for any album since Swift’s own last studio album, Midnights, debuted with 1.14 million copies sold last year (week ending Oct. 27, 2022; as reflected on the Nov. 5-dated Billboard charts).
Vinyl sales comprise over half of Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)’s sales – as the three-LP set has sold over 225,000 copies on wax. The latter marks the second-largest sales week for a vinyl album in the modern era (since Luminate began electronically tracking sales in 1991). It is second only to the first week of Midnights’ vinyl LP, with 575,000 sold in its opening frame. Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) is available in three color variants on vinyl – orchid marbled, violet marbled and a Target-exclusive lilac marbled color.
The remainder of Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) sales is comprised of CDs, digital album download purchases and cassette tape sales.
Streaming: The collected 22 songs on Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) generated more than 200 million on-demand official streams in the U.S. July 7-10, according to Luminate. The most-streamed tune on the album, by audio on-demand official streams, is the “from the vault” cut “I Can See You (Taylor’s Version),” with over 13 million on-demand official audio streams in those four tracking days.
A year and a half before he was arrested in the Colorado Springs gay nightclub shooting that left five people dead, Anderson Lee Aldrich allegedly threatened his mother with a homemade bomb, forcing neighbors in surrounding homes to evacuate while the bomb squad and crisis negotiators talked him into surrendering.
Yet despite that scare, there's no public record that prosecutors moved forward with felony kidnapping and menacing charges against Aldrich, or that police or relatives tried to trigger Colorado's "red flag" law that would have allowed authorities to seize the weapons and ammo the man's mother says he had with him.
Gun control advocates say Aldrich's June 2021 threat is an example of a red flag law ignored, with potentially deadly consequences. While it's not clear the law could have prevented Saturday night's attack — such gun seizures can be in effect for as little as 14 days and be extended by a judge in six-month increments — they say it could have at least slowed Aldrich and raised his profile with law enforcement.
"We need heroes beforehand — parents, co-workers, friends who are seeing someone go down this path," said Colorado state Rep. Tom Sullivan, whose son was killed in the Aurora theater shooting and sponsored the state's red flag law passed in 2019. "This should have alerted them, put him on their radar."
But the law that allows guns to be removed from people deemed dangerous to themselves or others has seldom been used in the state, particularly in El Paso County, home to Colorado Springs, where the 22-year-old Aldrich allegedly went into Club Q with a long gun at just before midnight and opened fire before he was subdued by patrons.
An Associated Press analysis found Colorado has one of the lowest rates of red flag usage despite widespread gun ownership and several high-profile mass shootings.
Courts issued 151 gun surrender orders from when the law took effect in April 2019 through 2021, three surrender orders for every 100,000 adults in the state. That's a third of the ratio of orders issued for the 19 states and District of Columbia with surrender laws on their books.
El Paso County appears especially hostile to the law. It joined nearly 2,000 counties nationwide in declaring themselves "Second Amendment Sanctuaries" that protect the constitutional right to bear arms, passing a 2019 resolution that says the red flag law "infringes upon the inalienable rights of law-abiding citizens" by ordering police to "forcibly enter premises and seize a citizen's property with no evidence of a crime."
County Sheriff Bill Elder has said his office would wait for family members to ask a court for surrender orders and not petition for them on its own accord, unless there were "exigent circumstances" and "probable cause" of a crime.
El Paso County, with a population of 730,000, had 13 temporary firearm removals through the end of last year, four of which turned into longer ones of at least six months.
The county sheriff's office declined to answer what happened after Aldrich's arrest last year, including whether anyone asked to have his weapons removed. The press release issued by the sheriff's office at the time said no explosives were found but did not mention anything about whether any weapons were recovered.
Spokesperson Lt. Deborah Mynatt referred further questions about the case to the district attorney's office.
An online court records search did not turn up any formal charges filed against Aldrich in last year's case. And in an update on a story on the bomb threat, The Gazette newspaper of Colorado Springs reported that prosecutors did not pursue any charges in the case and that records were sealed.
The Gazette also reported Sunday that it got a call from Aldrich in August asking that it remove a story about the incident.
"There is absolutely nothing there, the case was dropped, and I'm asking you either remove or update the story," Aldrich said in a voice message to an editor. "The entire case was dismissed."
A spokesperson for the district attorney's office, Howard Black, declined to comment on whether any charges were pursued. He said the shooting investigation will also include a study of the bomb threat.
"There will be no additional information released at this time," Black said. "These are still investigative questions."
AP's study of 19 states and the District of Columbia with red flag laws on their books found they have been used about 15,000 times since 2020, less than 10 times for every 100,000 adults in each state. Experts called that woefully low and hardly enough to make a dent in gun killings.
Just this year, authorities in Highland Park, Illinois, were criticized for not trying to take guns away from the 21-year-old accused of a Fourth of July parade shooting that left seven dead. Police had been alerted about him in 2019 after he threatened to "kill everyone" in his home.
Duke University sociologist Jeffrey Swanson, an expert in red flag laws, said the Colorado Springs case could be yet another missed warning sign.
"This seems like a no brainer, if the mom knew he had guns," he said. "If you removed firearms from the situation, you could have had a different ending to the story."

Tyler is the current Superman on the CW television series Superman & Lois. Can you say Group Superman Photo Ops? Wow!
At the age of 13, Hoechlin was selected from 2,000 auditionees to play Michael Sullivan Jr. in Road to Perdition alongside Tom Hanks. That performance led to him getting the role of Martin Brewer in the television show 7th Heaven. Hoechlin played werewolf Derek Hale in the television series Teen Wolf and was a regular on the show for the first four seasons, and returned as a guest star for the sixth and final season in 2017.
Hoechlin was cast as Superman on the CW show Supergirl in 2016. He was producer Greg Berlanti's first choice for the role and did not have to audition. In 2018, Hoechlin returned to Supergirl as part of the annual Arrowverse crossover episodes, titled "Elseworlds". He also appeared in the corresponding crossover episodes of both Arrow and The Flash, which all aired in December 2018. Hoechlin returned to the Arrowverse for the "Crisis on Infinite Earths" episodes.
In October 2019, it was confirmed that Superman & Lois, a spin-off series starring Hoechlin and Elizabeth Tulloch, was in development at the CW who picked it up straight-to-series in January 2020. The series premiered in 2021 and was renewed for a third season in March 2022.
His other film roles include Undrafted, Bigger, Fifty Shades Freed, and Teen Wolf: The Movie. Tyler voiced Sephiroth in Final Fantasy VII games since 2020.

It's been more than a month since a dozen civil rights and religious groups say they sent a letter to the White House calling on President Joe Biden sign an executive order to study reparations by Juneteenth, or this Sunday, June 19, marking the emancipation of enslaved African Americans.

The study activists wants comes after a decades-long push to establish a 13-person reparations commission in Congress.

Shortly after the end of the Civil War, Union leaders promised formerly enslaved families "40 acres and a mule" -- a promise never fulfilled.
However, a reminder of the centuries-old promise has languished in Congress for decades. H.R. 40, the Commission to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African Americans Act, has been introduced in every legislative session since 1989.
The measure seeks to establish a commission to study "and consider a national apology and proposal for reparations for the institution of slavery, legal and other racial and economic discrimination, and the impact of these forces on living African Americans, to make recommendations to the Congress on appropriate remedies ..."
In recent years, the bill has gained some political traction.
In 2019, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, hundreds of members of Congress and over 350 organizations, including the U.S. Conference of Mayors, NAACP and ACLU publicly announced support for reparations.
At the Tribeca Film Festival, "The Big Payback," a documentary examining reparations, directed by "Living Single" actress Erika Alexander, premiered at the legendary festival in early June.

Former White House press secretary Jen Psaki reiterated in 2021 that President Biden supported the study of reparations. However, when asked if he would support a bill on reparations Psaki said, "We'll see what happens through the legislative process."
Asked if Biden supports an executive order on the study of reparations, Psaki said at the time, "it would be up to him, he has executive order authority, he would certainly support a study, and we'll see where Congress moves on that issue."
A White House official told ABC News on Thursday, President Biden still "supports a study of reparations and the continued impacts of slavery but he is very clear that we don't need a study to advance racial equity."

Nkechi Taifa is director of the Reparation Education Project, and has been calling for reparations for moire than 50 years. In 1987, she was one of the founders of the National Coalition of Blacks for Reparations in America (N'COBRA), an organization that worked closely with Democratic Rep. John Conyers to draft the introduction of H.R. 40 in 1989. She says now is the time for Biden to sign an executive order so the commission can be up and running before the end of Biden's presidency.
Taifa says she hopes the display at the ellipse sends a message that reparations advocates need to be paid attention to, and Black people should not be taken for granted.
She told ABC News, "If they think they're gonna rest on Juneteenth because it's a holiday and a watered down policing reform bill -- that's not enough. Black people have been run roughshod over, you know, for centuries, and it just, it just cannot continue."
Joan Neal, deputy executive director and chief equity officer at NETWORK, a social justice advocacy group founded by U.S. religious sisters tells ABC News, that "Slavery was a sin, that was the original sin of this country, and we believe that unless you acknowledge your sin and you make a firm determination to never do it again, and then make restitution for what was lost. You still have not been forgiven."
She added, "All parties have to be willing to stand up and face the sin in order for the sin to be forgiven and in order for things to be whole again."

Share639 views 15 Jul 2021(10 Jul 2021) Through tears and in between fraught silences, Devla Ajsic refuses to remain quiet any longer, as she walks around the eery former Dutch U.N. compound where she was sexually abused over 20 years ago. Ajsic was 21-years-old and three months pregnant in July 1995 when she was repeatedly sexually assaulted in Srebrenica while her fiancé and thousands of other mostly Muslim men and boys were taken away and executed in Europe's only acknowledged genocide since World War II. For decades, Ajsic did not talk openly about the horrors she endured after Bosnian Serb forces stormed the eastern Bosnian town in July 1995, in the waning months of the Balkan country's 1992-95 war. "I locked it all inside for 26 years and suffered in silence", said the now 47-year-old Ajsic, steeling herself to finally speak publicly about her past on the eve of the 26th anniversary of the massacre on Sunday. When Bosnian Serb forces captured Srebrenica, which had been declared a U.N. "safe haven" for civilians in 1993, about 30,000 of its terrified Muslim residents rushed to the U.N. compound at the entrance to town in the hope that the Dutch U.N. peacekeepers there would protect them. However, the outgunned and outnumbered peacekeepers watched helplessly as Serb troops took some 2,000 men and boys from the compound for execution, raped the women and girls, and then bused the women, children and elderly to Bosnian Muslim-held territory. Ajsic said she was sexually assaulted and tortured for three days before departing Srebrenica in one of the last buses packed with refugees. "The things they did to me, they tied me to a desk, my neck and my chest were blue from bruises, I was sprawled naked on that table," she recounted, sobbing. The Associated Press typically doesn't name sexual abuse victims except in cases where they opt to speak publicly. Ajsic said the Serb soldiers drugged her, clouding her mind, but even so she was acutely aware she was not the only woman kept bound and subject to horrific abuse in a hangar of the then-U.N. compound. She believes her personal nightmare, including the loss of the fetus she had to abort after fleeing Srebrenica, is dwarfed by the week long Bosnian Serb killing spree in which over 8,000 mostly Muslim men and boys from the town perished. Most of the victims were hunted down and executed as they tried to flee into nearby forest. Their bodies were plowed into hastily dug mass graves and then later excavated with bulldozers and scattered among other burial sites to hide evidence of the crime. Many wives, mothers, sisters and daughters of those killed in Srebrenica have dedicated their lives to fighting for the truth about what happened to their men. Yet, in over a quarter-century, only a handful have publicly spoken of the sexual abuse they suffered during the fall of Srebrenica. The women stubbornly stood their ground when confronted with political opposition to their request to set up a memorial cemetery across from the former Dutch U.N. base, where on every July 11 since 2002 they have reburied the remains of their loved ones. So far, the remains of more than 6,600 people have been exhumed from mass graves, identified by forensic analysis and reburied at the site. The remains of 19 more victims will be laid to rest there Sunday. Srebrenica's Bosniak Muslim women were also key to cases brought against the United Nations and the Netherlands over the failure of the Dutch U.N. troops to protect the town's civilians in 1995, and the adoption of a European Parliament resolution commemorating July 11 as the Day of Remembrance of the Srebrenica genocide.

Blind Items Revealed #2 - Anniversary Month
September 18, 2019
Several years ago, the billionaire pedophile was in trouble. Lawsuits were being filed and there was a chance that another arrest would arise from the lawsuits. There was a person out there who was going to be a big witness for the victims. He had been having second thoughts about the things he had done with the pedophile and was willing to talk. He had been introduced to the pedophile through the connection with the royal. While not exactly a royal himself he was very tight with the brother of the royal - a brother who also spent time with the pedophile but has so far managed to keep all that fairly quiet. The brother is married to someone who is related to our witness. Everyone knew the witness liked women much younger than himself, but a decade prior had liked them to the point of being underage. So, how do you solve that problem? Well, two days before he was scheduled to give a deposition in the matter, the witness was killed and the culprit got a huge payoff and was never even considered a suspect because they were so good at acting.

That alliterate former actress is also sending out pages of notes to one of her very good friends to use in a book about the family. She signed all kinds of things, but know they won't do anything but write her a check if she were to get ready to publish some very "dark secrets."

It is pretty remarkable that this A list celebrity told at least one of her exes that she couldn't get pregnant and that her foreign born celebrity husband has always said it would be very difficult for him to have kids, and yet the two managed to whip through three pregnancies in pretty short order.

There are people dying and all the alliterate one cares about is that her message was not acknowledged by the President of that country. Tell you what you can do. Call up the former Housewife and tell her you want to distribute the blankets and sleeping bags the former Housewife is sending to Poland to all the refugees. Actually do something. She won't though. She should. If she did, maybe she would actually have something for Netflix they wouldn't reject.

On June 12, 2022 (Sunday), Karissa Collins announced via Instagram that she’s pregnant, again. This will be Collins #10*. Her last Live Birth was Anthym Bliss (#9) on January 1, 2021. A few months ago, she suffered a ~10 Week Loss.
Read on for a full data analysis!
Due Date & Projected DOB
Per Karissa’s Instagram Story on June 13, 2022, she’s 6 Weeks Along, and she reached Week 6 on June 11th. That means she was 6 Weeks, 0 Days Along on June 11, 2022, which means her Due Date is February 4, 2023.
Excluding Ansyr, who was born 75 Days Prematurely under circumstances that are not likely to recur, Karissa delivers 1 Day Early, on average. We have Exact Due Dates for 5 Collinses (Andersyn, Aynjel, Ansyr, Anchor, Anthym), and ADDs (Approximate Due Dates) for the rest. Here’s the data—
Anissa Beth ~On Time / ADD December 12, 2009
Andrae Cardell ~1 Week Early / ADD July 18, 2011
Annistan Breanne ~1 Week Early / ADD October 26, 2012
Anjalie Brielle ~On Time / ADD December 14, 2013
Andersyn Brooklyn 1 Day Early / Due July 18, 2015
Aynjel Belle 2 Days Late / Due December 7, 2016
Ansyr Blue 75 Days Early / Due April 22, 2018 (See Also)
Anchor Christian 5 Days Late / Due August 26, 2019
Anthym Bliss 1 Day Late / Due December 31, 2020
Also, while it’s not relevant to Delivery vs. Due Data... Earlier this year, Karissa was pregnant with an August 31, 2022 Due Date, but miscarried. She suffered a loss in 2014ish, also, but we have no Due Date Data for that pregnancy.
Given Karissa’s data, Collins #10*’s Projected DOB is February 3, 2023, since that’s 1 Day Early.
Will They Do A Sex Reveal? When?
Karissa has done a Sex Reveal for every pregnancy since she got Instagram—so yes, there will probably be a Sex Reveal. The Collinses do a Sex Reveal at 131 Days Along (18 Weeks, 5 Days), on average. Here’s all their data—
Andersyn Brooklyn Sex Reveal on Day 138
Aynjel Belle Sex Reveal on Day 135
Ansyr Blue Sex Reveal on Day 117
Anchor Christian Sex Reveal on Day 144
Anthym Bliss Sex Reveal on Day 120
Due on February 4, 2022, Karissa will be 131 Days Along with Collins #10* on September 8, 2022. That’s when we can expect the Sex Reveal.
Early, Late, or What?
Given that this is a Post–Loss Pregnancy, timeliness is judged based on Post–Loss Data from all Predictor Couples. We don’t use couple– or family–specific data, since those datasets are generally very, very small. Prior to Collins #10*, your ‘typical’ Post–Loss Child Spacing—i.e., from Date of Loss to Subsequent Live Birth—was 385 Days.
Karissa’s Prior Loss occurred on February 1, 2022. (That’s the date she had a sonogram and learned there was no heartbeat.) (Note—Apparently, Karissa is convinced that God resurrected the baby, or attempted to, and that she heard the baby’s heartbeat again after February 1st. Duggar Data has decided that, despite this, the official Loss Date is going down as February 1, 2022.) Collins #10* is expected to arrive on February 3, 2023. So, doing the math... That’s a Post–Loss Spacing of 367 Days (1 Year, 2 Days). That’s 18 Days Early, vs. the Average Post–Loss Spacing of 385 Days—but damn, that’s pretty close!
Impact On Procreative Pace / ESOQ
Actually, Collins #10* won’t impact the Collinses’ Procreative Pace (PP), since Post–Loss Spacings (w/ A Known Date of Loss) don’t count towards PP.
That said, Collins #10*’s Spacing will factor into the Overall Post–Loss Spacing data. Prior to Collins #10*, the average Post–Loss Spacing was 385 Days—or, 1 Year, 20 Days. Factoring Collins #10* in, that shifts to 384 Days (–1 Day).
Karissa + Mandrae’s ESOQ is 11 Children, based on a Fertility Cut–Off of Age 40.00. (No data is available from Karissa’s Mother.)
When To Expect Collins #11
... who is forecast to be the next, and final, Collins! Here’s what the Predictor expects—
Sunday, July 2, 05:11 UT - Crescent Moon, 26:17 Leo
Thursday, July 7, 02:14 UT - First Quarter Moon, 14:59 Libra
Sunday, July 10, 14:02 UT - Gibbous Moon, 3:18 Sagittarius
Wednesday, July 13, 18:38 UT - Full Moon, 21:21 Capricorn
Saturday, July 16, 23:55 UT - Disseminating Moon, 9:25 Pisces
Wednesday, July 20, 14:19 UT - Last Quarter Moon, 27:52 Aries
Sunday, July 24, 14:52 UT - Balsamic Moon, 16:42 Gemini
Thursday, July 28, 17:55 UT - New Moon, 5:39 Leo
This is a medium-sized doozy of a chart: the lunation is applying a trine to Jupiter, which is less than three hours away from its retrograde station. It’s also conjunct the Lady Asteroid Ceres. The trine makes us want to do things in a big way - we’re fiery and fierce, maybe a little overconfident and loud and bossy - but it also gives us generosity, nobility, and luck. Ceres gives us interests in/with our families (biological or found), children and children’s concerns, and food and nutrition. I have the image of a great big happy family reunion, that sort of celebratory vibe.

Et Cetera
Since December 13, 2021, we haven’t had any planets in the “interpersonal” signs - Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio - just the Moon, sweeping through once a month. And I can argue that in all this time we’ve all been feeling the weight of the world on our shoulders (via so many planets in “transpersonal” signs, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces) - which has been overwhelming, to say the least.
We also have been more focused on ourselves and our individual problems, as planets move through the “personal” signs (Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer).
That’s all going to change during the five days which see Mercury, the Sun, and Ceres enter Leo (in that order). All of a sudden: “Wow! Other people exist! Oh brave new world that hath such people in it!”
This is great news - being balanced is (almost) always a good thing, and we’ve been missing the whole “interpersonal” piece for several months, except sporadically when the Moon is there. I think we’re going to be very excited and eager about it, too - at least to start with.
my current predictions for the billions season 7 timeline:
season premiere on sunday, june 4 (first sunday after succession season 4 finishes airing, and possibly also the first sunday after after yellowjackets season 2 finishes airing, if it has 10 episodes like season 1) (this would place the season finale on sunday, august 20, barring any skipped weeks within the season)
official season trailer on thursday, april 20 (45 days before june 4, equal to the gap between the season 5 official trailer on march 19, 2020 and premiere on may 3, 2020, and the gap between the season 6 official trailer on december 9, 2021 and premiere on january 23, 2022) (yes i know those trailers have both been deleted, but they were posted on tumblr the day of upload)
premiere date announcement on monday, february 13 (111 days before june 4, equal to the gap between the season 5 announcement on january 13, 2020 and premiere on may 3, 2020)
British F1 driver Lando Norris is victim of an 'expensive' robbery at Marbella villa
British F1 driver Lando Norris is victim of an 'expensive' robbery at Marbella villa he was sharing with TikTok model Jennie Dimova, just two years after he had £144,000 watch stolen at Wembley Euro 2020 final
By Jonathan McEvoy for the Daily Mail
Published: 11:40 EDT, 29 June 2023 | Updated: 13:34 EDT, 29 June 2023
Lando Norris has revealed he was robbed while on holiday in Marbella – two years after he had his £144,000 watch stolen at Wembley.
The British F1 star was spending downtime in a luxury villa when the robbers struck, though he was not in the building at the time.
Social media influencer Jennie Dimova was with the 23-year-old on the holiday, and has since spoken about the incident online. And speaking ahead of Sunday's Austrian Grand Prix, Norris disclosed: 'We were out for dinner and our place got robbed.
'A mixture of many things were stolen. Some were expensive and some were not so expensive. It is still an ongoing investigation so I cannot say too much.'
Norris was left 'shocked' after having his Richard Mille watch stolen while leaving the hooligan-hit 2020 European Championship final between Italy and England in 2021.
Lando Norris (seen left) was the victim of a robbery in Marbella, where he was holidaying with friends including TikTok model Jennie Dimova (right)
Norris was previously targeted when robbers stole his Richard Mille watch back in July 2021
In a video shared to TikTok on Sunday evening, Dimova - who is believed to be dating Norris' close friend and fellow driver Max Fewtrell - looked visibly distraught by the turn of events.
'If you're wondering why I look like that, it's because our villa got robbed,' Dimova said to camera. 'And everything I've ever owned: my bags, my clothes, my shoes, my jewellery, everything is f****** taken.
'I'm left with literally nothing after collecting this stuff for f******* years. So, you know what? I mean, I cried for like two hours but, what can I f****** do?'
Two years earlier, Norris was the victim of a violent mugging perpetuated by two thieves after the driver watched England lose to Italy on penalties in the European Championship final.
Norris was held in a heldlock by an unknown man whilst another robber wrenched the timepiece - one of just five in the world - from his wrist as the driver made his way to his car in the yellow VIP car park at Wembley Stadium.
One man accused of being involved in the theft, Liam Williams, 25, of Bootle, Merseyside was cleared of the robbery after a week-long trial at Harrow Crown Court in March 2023.
Williams - whose DNA was found on the racing driver's left wrist - denied the charge and was found not guilty by a jury after two hours of deliberation.
He shared during the trial that he had been shown the stolen watch in a pub, where he had watched the final after failing to secure a ticket, but had no idea where those who showed it to him had found it.
Norris was one of only five owners of the specially commissioned time piece by Richard Mille
McLaren currently sit fifth in the constructors' standings, more than 20 points behind Alpine
Williams later claimed he received threatening calls warning him to keep his mouth shut about the watch.
The driver would have hoped the weekend break might have been a respite from a trying season.
He has endured a disapointing year for McLaren, scoring just 12 points from eight races, but is due an upgrade in Spielberg.
Norris finished outside the points last race weekend in Montreal, hot on the heels of a lacklustre 17th-place finish in Barcelona at the start of June.

Summer Sons Sex Week 2022
Hey there fam! I know this isn’t a huge fandom (yet), but I wanted to start a challenge for anyone who wants to dip their toe in writing/drawing/mood boarding/whatever for Summer Sons by Lee Mandelo. This is a challenge I set myself last year for a different fandom and it was a way for me to stretch myself. You can do any pairing and there is no set word count! Drabbles welcome and encouraged as much as full length fics. I’m aware I’m putting this out there on short notice.
Posting will start on Monday, July 11, 2022 and end Sunday, July 17th, 2022. I will make a collection on Ao3 if you’d like to post it to the collection, or if you want to post it on tumblr just tag it #SummerSonsSexWeek2022 or #SSSW22 and I’ll be sure to reblog it!
The daily challenges are as follows:
Moanday (July 11) - Something about being loud. It can be about one of the characters being obsessed with how loud their partner gets, it could be about hearing someone moan and listening in, or it could just be about someone making a lot of noise eating chocolate and it turning sexual. Whatever you choose, the main idea is MOANING. We wanna hear it!
Tongueday (July 12) - Tongue-fucking, ass-eating, licking, slurping, whatever! Get those tongues waggling!
Wetday (July 13) - Shower sex, omega slick, pool time shenanigans, spit as lube, whatever. Give us your dirty wet stories. Today is a flash flood zone.
Thirstday (July 14) - Thirst photos made them do it? Drunk sex? Being turned on when you can’t do anything about it, but fucking obsessing over the person you wanna sex up? Let’s see our faves parched and dying for a drink.
Frotday (July 15) - Frottage! Non penatrative sex that isn’t a blow job or a hand job. Classic clothes on frot? Naked frotting? Sleep frotting?
Shushday (July 16) - Muffled sex! Are they going to get caught in a semi-public location getting off? Is there someone asleep in the same room as them? Is someone holding a phone conversation while the other is edged? It’s all about controlling your volume.
Sexday (July 17) - Any kind of sex! Write whatever you want!
A Note about Posting : This fandom includes a trans character. Please be sensitive to others and put appropriate warnings and tags about the language and situations used including this character. No one likes to be triggered unintentionally.
Special thanks to @redcole for helping me with the prompts and generally being the most lovely human.

unpopular opinion.... since Vlamis has posted his link to some article about how Roswell NM is showing healthy queer relationships I Just gotta say... IMO roswell nm is NOT showing healthy queer relationships (unless they're talking about isobel and anatsa... that's cute so far. but malex? tf? are we watching the same fucking show?)
don't @ me. i know it's better than a lot of other representations. and i'm glad they're not going to bury their gays. but i'm upset that they're also not going to give their gays a chance at on-screen personal development or, ya know, off-screen therapy sessions referred to on-screen while ACTUALLY TALKING to the person they love about ongoing personal or interpersonal issues...
IMO the year skip did malex absolutely zero favors and the warp speed emotional whiplash served up by Alex in s3 is going to haunt them. s3 has almost completely ruined malex for me. and i hate that. i hate it so fucking much. (and if it didn't ruin it for you, i'm glad. i truly am. i want to be there with you, my friend.) i hope in s4 we see some resurgence of issues and them actually working through them onscreen.
these are just some thoughts that keep haunting me. i'm so fucking disappointing in s3 malex it's hard to reconcile myself to working with the characters rn. so. yeah. i guess this might also be my announcement that all ongoing fics are on hiatus until I can find my will to write them again without being irrationally angry at canon.
#the more i learn about mile the more he seems like the kind of guy who just goes through life saying 'oh you know what would be hilarious'

My #1 post of 2022
Arm, Pol, and Pete: If I had a nickel for everytime I followed my boss into a room after Porsche only for him to order us out and the two of them to fuck, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot but weird that it happened twice
