Actress Sydney Sweeney’s Euphoria character, Cassie Howard, implied her political stance during Sunday’s episode of the popular HBO drama, replying, “I’m not retarded” after being told she sounds “like a Democrat.” “You sound like a Democrat,” an off-camera podcast host can be heard telling Cassie, to which Sweeney’s Euphoria character replies with laughter, before responding, “I’m not retarded.” The line came as Euphoria fans saw Cassie go from stay-at-home wife to OnlyFans star in episode 5 of the show’s third — and most likely final — season, which resulted in Sweeney’s character gaining 50,000 subscribers and subsequently landing several podcast...

You can’t make this stuff up folks… The World Health Organization (WHO) is now actively advising everyone to NOT take Ivermectin to treat the Hantavirus — because it totally doesn’t work, just like we told you to not take it for COVID or Cancer, so definitely don’t take it ok? Got that? Luckily Forbes even fact-checked it for you and told you it’s true and you should definitely not take Ivermectin for Hantavirus: https://www.forbes.com/sites/maryroeloffs/2026/05/07/no-ivermectin-is-not-proven-to-treat-hantavirus/ Other medical professionals also quickly rejected Bowden’s claims: Dr. Krutika Kuppalli, an internal medicine professor at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, said there is...

It was the song that began Hank’s chart-topping country sequence.The Hank Williams biopic I Saw The Light, starring Tom Hiddlestone, addressed the period between 1944 (when Williams was 21 and newly married) to his death from alcohol and drug abuse on New Year’s Day, 1953. That period encompassed all of the ups and downs of Hank’s public life, but the date we focus on here is definitely one of his career landmarks. On May 7, 1949, he scored the first of what would be 11 No. 1s on the Billboard country chart, with “Lovesick Blues.” Williams had four previous chart...

It’s hard to even imagine now, but immediately after it launched in 2004, there was nothing on the internet cooler than Facebook. It was initially available only to Harvard students, then gradually expanded to students at other elite colleges, giving it an aura of exclusivity that founder Mark Zuckerberg clearly coveted. By the time it opened up to public accounts in 2006, the hype was palpable, paving the way to an explosive initial public offering in 2012. Since those salad days, its trajectory has never been quite the same. Sure, it’s maintained market share with a series of cynical acquisitions...

Kiffin, in a lengthy interview with Vanity Fair, revealed that unspecified recruits told him while he was leading Ole Miss that certain players would have issues coming to the school. “[They would say], ‘Hey, Coach, we really like you.

AbstractDietary interventions are the first-line treatment for overweight individuals (OW) and individuals with obesity (OB) who have high-normal blood pressure (BP) or grade I hypertension, particularly when they are at low-to-moderate cardiovascular risk (CVR). However, current guidelines do not specify the most effective dietary approach for optimising cardiovascular and metabolic outcomes in this population.This study aimed to compare the effects of a low-calorie, high-protein ketogenic diet (KD) versus a low-calorie, low-sodium, and high-potassium Mediterranean diet (MD) on BP profiles assessed via ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM). It also evaluated changes in anthropometric measures, metabolic biomarkers, and body composition measured by bioelectrical...

This year’s commencement speaker at the University of Central Florida’s College of Arts and Humanities and the Nicholson School of Communication was visibly floored after she extolled AI as the future of industry — to the ire of the school’s graduating students, who ferociously booed and jeered. The speaker was Florida-based businesswoman Gloria Caulfield, the Vice President of Strategic Alliances for Tavistock Development Company, a real estate firm. In her speech, she triumphantly announced that “… “The rise of artificial intelligence is the next Industrial Revolution.” The job-seeking graduates, however, weren’t exactly thrilled with Caulfield’s AI optimism. They launched into...

Generation Z is easily the most self-absorbed, egocentric generation in history. Their hubris will have consequences for its members, society and the future of humanity. A Barna Survey on Gen Z attitudes toward marriage and children signals looming disaster. Overall, the survey by America's foremost Christian pollster shows that Gen Z is largely disconnected from reality. Among 14- to 29-year-olds, support for socialism has increased 17 percentage points since the last time the survey was taken, from 22% to 39%. Why not? The signs of its success are all around us. What do you do when you get caught between...

Abe Vucekovich, the owner of the Chicago cocktail bar Friends of Friends, got a call a couple months ago. It concerned Schlitz beer. This was a matter of some import to Vucekovich, because Friends of Friends is situated in what used to be a Schlitz tied house. There is a large Schlitz globe insignia on the side of the building. Because of this, Vucekovich decided to serve Schlitz beer on tap. To advertise this fact, he bought an old neon sign from a neighboring bar called Danny’s. It says “Schlitz on Tap” in bright red neon. But the call Vucekovich...
