Honestly, I feel like Prime Video doesn't get as much attention and praise as it deserves. The streaming service is a bit of an underdog compared to the bigger platforms. Though it produces some great content! Just look at The Boys and Fallout, for example. One new series that I thoroughly enjoyed is My Lady Jane starring Emily Bader and Edward Bluemel. And as the title of this article suggests, it's definitely the modern-esque historical adventure you've always needed!

I am thinking that looking at the most formidable and dangerous people in our history might be a good way to make the determination of the most dangerous signs. Let’s see what we can learn.

In the realm of prophecies and predictions, few names stand out more prominently than that of Nostradamus. Born in France in the 16th century, Michel de Nostredame, known as Nostradamus, became famous for his cryptic writings and forecasts about the future. One of the most chilling topics he delved into was that of world wars, specifically those that would engulf the entire globe in a cataclysmic conflict. Let's dive deeper into Nostradamus' predictions regarding world wars, particularly in relation to the war of all wars starting in the Middle East.

The lover was here and then was not. This is always the case. The lover persists in loverness and then, poof. Not poof poof but out of the kitchen and casual nakedness. The lover is a long tail though. Whipping around. Not understanding the sublime beauty of respite. I used to fuck almost any body out of starvation hunger that splits the one into many and leaves you arching toward a stinky mattress on a floor. It could be. I could have been. Times when the world dissolved into waves. Who knows that kind of blurry nothingness. Nothing is due. The more my father died the more mattresses. Floors and car interiors. Dirt. Dark air. Hallways. Un-destinations. Railway car junkie smelling of Eau Sauvage Dior.
