(The sound is off because no one needs to hear this. Mamdani’s body language is everything.)

She’s describing people she’s never met and accusing them of being her haters. Funny that she lacks the intelligence to recognize that she’s describing herself to a T.

Newsflash Reese. Not many people care enough about you to remotely hate you. But predictably you’ve gone out of your way in your local community to earn a reputation for being a disgusting b!tch with main character syndrome from everyone who has had the misfortune of crossing paths with you in real life.

Remains discovered that historians say is that of none other than a particularly nasty, mean,cruel, grifting, sadfishing You tuber named Unrelatable Reese. She became notorious after being cut out of a multi-billion dollar estate and descended into madness. After trying to start her own Cult and failing when her followers turned on her, she evidently met her untimely end by her conman husband who waited years to get his revenge after a particularly nasty betrayal on her part. Disowned by her family she fled the country after a series of unsuccessful bank robberies and even an attempt to break into Fort Knox - she then mysteriously disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle on a second ‘Honeymoon’ trip arranged by her husband.

Hold on to your hats, because I know she's got lots of stories to share!

Please see the screenshot attached of Gemini’s summary of that live stream. It recounts his claims in the video of transparency and accountability.

If he has apologized to the victims of his obtaining money and goods from them under false pretenses, I missed it. Has anyone seen him do that?

In this clip Nora talks about going to a conference some time ago where there was going to be a panel discussion. In their off-time a group of ex-Scientologists were sitting around swapping stories and having a drink. She contends that because Chris Shelton didn’t accept her invite to join the group for casual chit-chat and a drink it indicted that Chris was petty and unprofessional.

No, Nora, that’s called not being a phony. Why should Chris spend his spare time sitting around pretending to be ok with people who have attacked him?

Now, if Chris refused to appear on a panel discussion about Scientology with people he didn’t like on a personal basis, that might be something else. But why should he hang out with them? I don’t blame him a bit and I applaud Chris for not bowing to group peer pressure. Nora wants to say something about boundaries? Why is it not ok in her world to allow Chris to set his own boundaries? He has no reason to want to spend his free social time with you, Nora.

That little anecdote of Nora’s showed me two things.

1. Chris demonstrated the backbone to not bow to group peer pressure and
2. despite claiming it was “no skin off (her) nose” that he refused her invitation, she’s still carrying a petty grudge about it and is still mentioning it years later. (I recall that she’s brought this snub up before.)

She went on to say it’s something he should take up in therapy, as if having integrity and not being a phony is a mental defect. Nora, it’s you who should take it up in therapy if you can’t get over a personal snub years later.

The truth about this little mischievous cherub is so much less nefarious but more interesting.

Japan has a deep and enduring relationship with the Billiken, particularly in Osaka, where it is celebrated as an unofficial mascot and a "god of happiness".

While the character's popularity as a fad quickly faded in the United States, it became a permanent fixture in Japanese culture after being introduced around 1909.

The Billiken in Osaka

Symbol of Shinsekai: The most famous Billiken statue is located on the observation deck of the Tsutenkaku Towerin Osaka's Shinsekai district.
The "God of Things as They Ought to Be": In Japan, he is often referred to as Billiken-san and is treated almost like a deity, believed to bring prosperity, health, and academic success.
The Foot-Rubbing Ritual: Just like at SLU, people in Japan rub the soles of the Billiken’s feet for good luck. Because so many millions of visitors have done this over the decades, the wooden feet of previous statues have actually been worn down and dented, requiring the statues to be replaced periodically (most recently in 2012).
Ubiquity: You can see Billiken statues and imagery all over the Shinsekai area, especially in front of restaurants selling kushikatsu (deep-fried skewers), a local Osaka specialty.

Connection to St. Louis University
Though they share the same mascot, the two traditions developed independently from the same 1908 American craze. However, there has been formal contact between them:

Cultural Exchange: In 2008, to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Billiken’s creation, the famous statue from Osaka's Tsutenkaku Tower actually "traveled" to St. Louis to visit the university as a cultural ambassador.
Alaskan Connection: Beyond Japan, the Billiken is also highly prominent in Alaska, where indigenous Inuit carvers have been creating Billiken figures out of walrus ivory since 1909 as symbols of good fortune.

The Saint Louis University (SLU) mascot is the Billiken, a mythical good-luck figure with a mischievous grin, pixie ears, and a tuft of hair, often described as representing "things as they ought to be". Created in 1908 by art teacher Florence Pretz, it became SLU's official athletic mascot around 1910.

Key Details About the Billiken:

Unique Status: SLU is the only university to use the Billiken as its mascot.
Symbolism: It is believed to bring good luck, and tradition dictates rubbing its belly for good fortune.
Origin: The figure was a popular good-luck craze in the early 1900s, patented by Florence Pretz in 1908.
Appearance: The mascot costume has evolved, with a 2015 update resulting in an all-white, modern version.
History: The nickname became associated with SLU when a local cartoonist noted the figure resembled the university's football coach, John R. Bender, in 1910.

The university's teams are known as the Saint Louis Billikens.

What’s next? Will she say the Shriners are targeting her in an effort to raise her blood sugar levels with chemtrails made of cotton candy while flying over her house?

Tommy looks uncomfortable with Reese’s on-camera handsiness. More like a hostage than a partner. He talks like he likes her when safely tucked thousands of miles away from her, but their lack of chemistry when together is palpable.

Never known to respect boundaries, No means No, Reese.
