Science is finding that women struggle more than men when it comes to staying faithful in relationships. “Even when your marriage is good, you still miss that rush of feeling so excited you can’t eat or sleep when you’re having such an intense time emotionally and sexually with a new person. That’s what I kept going after, and what I couldn’t say no to.” That’s how Annika*, 45, from Melbourne, describes her experiences with cheating, and she’s far from alone. According to a growing body of research, many women in long-term relationships are sexually adventurous and have secret lovers. The...

New York (CNN Business)Elon Musk's monthslong effort to buy — and then to get out of buying — Twitter has been marked by a range of unexpected twists. Now, a stunning whistleblower disclosure from the company's former security lead Peiter Zatko is almost certain to become the latest complication. As part of a wide-ranging, nearly 200-page disclosure sent last month to US lawmakers and regulators, which was exclusively reported by CNN and the Washington Post Tuesday, Zatko alleges that Twitter (TWTR) has neither the incentive nor the resources to properly measure the full scope of bots on its platform. He...

The list, posted by an account called "Freesus Patriot," claimed that Florida has banned books such as, "To Kill a Mockingbird," and "A Wrinkle in Time." The account also tweeted that they would not reveal the source of the list. Weingarten was re-elected to lead the AFT in July, making it her eighth term as AFT president. Weingarten replied to another tweet pointing out that the list was "made up" and said that she should have...

On the internet today, larger tech companies like Google, Facebook, and Amazon can sometimes feel like inescapable presences. Google, in particular, tracks the way you use its search engine and other apps... But the things Google keeps track of can actually extend far further than you might expect, given the prevalence of Google Analytics and Google’s ad networks. In an effort to better understand what kinds of data is sent to Google, where it happens, and when it occurs, developer Bert Hubert — best known as the original creator of PowerDNS — created a new app called “Googerteller.” Googerteller works...

House Oversight Committee chairwoman Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) is pushing legislation that levies a 20 percent tax on AR-15 makers’ revenue. The legislation is called the Firearms Industry Fairness Act. NBC News reports the levy would “impose a 20% tax on the total revenue earned by manufacturers who produce assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.” Maloney tweeted about the legislation on August 22: My Firearm Industry Fairness Act will tax assault weapons manufacturers 20% off ALL revenue and my Firearm Industry Crime and Trafficking Accountability Act will prohibit the selling of guns to retailers if selling leads to a high risk of...

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) mocked Democrat Mayors Muriel Bowser and Eric Adams for their “utter hypocrisy” over concerns of illegal immigrants being bused to their cities. “The mayor of [Washington,] D.C., Muriel Bowser, has said that the 6,000 illegal immigrants that Texas has put on buses and sent up to D.C. has created a crisis and it is unacceptable and has to stop. Now, that is just 6,000,” Cruz explained on his Verdict podcast. “We ought to send 600,000 — 600,000 would be roughly one-sixth of the number of illegal immigrants who have come in under Joe Biden.” ... Shouldn't...

The fights still are going on today: Court wars over some governmental, corporate or educational demand that someone else taken the COVID-19 shots. The toll from the side effects created by the experimental shots may never be fully known, even as those experts who demanded America's population be subject to their doubtful medical agenda be punished for failing to comply. But now there's a new level of control being discussed: ingestible medications with microchips embedded that would send a signal to authorities – but only after you have taken your medicine. "Imagine the compliance," noted Albert Bourla, the CEO of...

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) slapped back at Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) on Monday after the soon-to-be former congresswoman declared that Cruz and other Republican lawmakers are "unfit" for office.

Six months after Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, signs are accumulating that the balance on the military and economic battlefields is slowly tilting the way of Kyiv and its Western backers. ... Some results of the war already seem settled. Russian President Vladimir Putin’s attempt to rewrite the ending of the Cold War by restoring Moscow’s historic sphere of influence in Eastern Europe has failed. His war on Ukraine has instead united almost all of Europe against him, revivifying the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, which is poised to add Sweden and Finland as new members.

Internal White House discussions are considering extending the pandemic-related pause in addition to canceling $10,000 for millions of borrowers below a certain income threshold, according to The Washington Post.

Avoiding unseen food hazards is the reason people often check the dates on food packaging. And printed with the month and year is often one of a dizzying array of phrases: “best by,” “use by,” “best if used before,” “best if used by,” “guaranteed fresh until,” “freeze by” and even a “born on” label applied to some beer. People think of them as expiration dates, or the date at which a food should go in the trash. But the dates have little to do with when food expires, or becomes less safe to eat. I am a microbiologist and public...

....Spielberg made Jaws while he was still a young visionary. Now he’s old, rich, and a member of the Hollywood elite. In joining their ranks, he went from being a maverick who wanted to challenge the rules to someone who wants to make the rules. He has claimed to be “terrified” of global warming and is angry with people who do not care about their carbon footprint. His own footprint is an entirely different matter. Fox News notes that as of June 23, Spielberg’s private plane used up around $116,159 in jet fuel during 16 trips to various and sundry...

This list only includes destroyed vehicles and equipment of which photo or videographic evidence is available. Therefore, the amount of equipment destroyed is significantly higher than recorded here. Small arms, ATGMs, MANPADS, loitering munitions, drones used as unmanned bait, civilian vehicles, trailers and derelict equipment are not included in this list. All possible effort has gone into avoiding duplicate entries and discerning the status of equipment between captured or abandoned. Many of the entries listed as 'abandoned' will likely end up captured or destroyed. Similarly, some of the captured equipment might be destroyed if it can't be recovered. When the...
