The train now leaving platform one will be stopping......about 100 yards away in the wrong direction, resting on the tail end of a giant whale sculpture.
 
I'm impressed that the sculpture held up under that weight.
 
Doesn't a man like that have bodyguards?
 
In Brazil, a parrot puppeteer’s death stirs the nation

lt is rare for an individual death to stir a country. And it is extraordinary for national grief to be triggered by the passing of a puppet.

But so it was in Brazil on Monday, as an outpouring of emotion followed news that the puppeteer behind Louro José – a 2-foot tall parrot that is a fixture on the country’s most popular morning show – had died.

Puppeteer Tom Veiga suffered a stroke caused by an aneurysm at his home in Rio de Janeiro, at age 47. For more than two decades, his green-and-yellow bird was comic relief on the program “Mais Voce,” somewhere between sidekick and co-host to Ana Maria Braga. The program was a welcome source of levity in a country accustomed to news of turbulence.

Why are the police investigating that? Does Jason Momoa feel threatened by a granny?

Edit: Reading between the lines, it may be an impostor doing a new form of money laundering scam.
 
Though it is too early to tell wether it's the real Jason Momoa. He does like older women.

No, because she is being scammed and used for money laundering
What’s to stop her not actually putting the money from her account into the recipient account? She might be playing the long game, knows he’s not who he claims to be and is waiting to earn his trust so he puts a rather large amount of money in in one go at which point she then does a runner.

"The man in the costume is Chris Taylor.
“There’s a show on Amazon Prime called 'The Boys.' I love it,” he said when asked about the costume.
That’s what Taylor ironically dressed up as for Halloween with his children and fiancé. Life then imitated art as they headed to a party."
