The tragic and terrifying Himalayan flash flood was caused by a chunk of mountain collapsing into a narrow gorge, sending a tsunami of mud and rock that gathered mass as it shot down the steep Trisuli river valley. More than that is not yet clear. Did a breakaway hanging glacier take a rock face with it or was it the other way round? Was there time for the debris to dam the valley and form a lake that burst or did the 60-metre flood of mud come from ice, river water, rock and soil that accumulated in the valley as...

HELL — Feminist icon Gloria Steinem refused to allow Satan to hold the door open for her on the way into hell, in what many are calling her final act against the Patriarchy. "No way," Steinem said as the Devil attempted to hold the door open for her. "I don't do that. I don't submit to your male chauvinism. I won't give you that power over me. Now step aside." Satan told friends he was a little taken aback by Steinem's behavior. "I typically hold the door for all our new female residents," he said. "It's just the way I...

Yesterday, following the death of feminist activist Gloria Steinem at the age of 92, Netflix released her episode of Famous Last Words, which records interviews with notable people that are only to be released posthumously. After a 40-or-so-minute sit-down conversation with Glee co-creator Brad Falchuk — the cameras are operated remotely by videographers who do not have audio access, so it is as private as can be — he leaves the room and, true to the series’ title, allows his guest to voice his or her last words to the public. Steinem, especially in her heyday in the ’70s, was...

A Hellenic Air Force F-4 Phantom plunged into the ground during an Athens Flying Week airshow Saturday — erupting into a massive fireball as horrified spectators watched, chilling video shows. Both pilots aboard the American-made, two-seat fighter were killed in the crash, according to two officials who spoke to Reuters. The shocking crash unfolded about two minutes into the jet’s display at Tanagra Air Base near Athens at around 3 p.m. local time, according to The Aviationist. Footage shows the F-4 roaring along at low altitude before banking into a turn and rapidly losing height. Seconds later, the fighter disappears...

Official Summary: On the day of his scheduled execution, a convicted serial killer gets a psychiatric evaluation during which he claims he is a demon, and further claims that before their time is over, the psychiatrist will commit three murders of his own.This movie came out in 2023, and I had never heard of it. Here is what the jacket looks like: This sure looks like the kind of movie I barely even pause for, the kind I scroll right past. That is because normally, I am not interested in "Horror" movies, which this movie was classified officially as. As...

It sounds like something from a sci-fi movie: technology acting on its own, without human guidance, to attack computer systems. But this isn't a scene from a movie — it happened this summer, when the tech company Hugging Face detected an attack on its systems. The attacker stole data and performed other unauthorized activity over several days. It was "different from anything we had handled before," Hugging Face said on its website. Hugging Face alerted the FBI. As it turned out, it wasn't the work of a human hacker or a foreign adversary. Agents powered by artificial intelligence were the...

Havana — How to conserve cellphone battery when recharging options are scarce; how to preserve food when the fridge isn’t working; how to cope with the heat when air-conditioners aren’t an option; how to generate power when the whole country has almost none left. These are the sort of tutorials that have made the Instagram feed of influencer Dayán Marrero indispensable to many Cubans as they try to adapt to the rolling electricity blackouts and fuel shortages that are increasingly part of everyday life on this Caribbean island. As the US-imposed oil blockade that is worsening the situation bites ever...

Nike is set to be removed from the S&P 100, a subset of the S&P 500 that tracks 100 major blue-chip companies across multiple industry groups, later this month. This comes after the company lost nearly 80% of its value since 2021. As The Gateway Pundit reported last month, the woke brand’s stock price plunged to a 12-year low after spending the last decade championing left-wing social justice causes. As of Saturday, the company has a market cap of roughly $57 billion, losing more than $200 billion in value since its all-time high in November 2021. The stock is down...

Robin Morgan, a prolific feminist writer and radical activist who edited the landmark 1970 anthology “Sisterhood Is Powerful,” served as editor in chief of Ms. magazine for five years and helped organize one of the first protests of the Miss America pageant, died on Saturday in Manhattan. She was 85. The death, in a hospital, was confirmed by her son, the musician Blake Morgan, who is her sole survivor. From the front lines of a much-splintered feminist movement, Ms. Morgan gave voice to women as a poet, journalist, novelist, memoirist, agitator and iconoclast. She came of age in the civil...

IntroductionIn the early 1980s, spreadsheets were still a nascent idea. VisiCalc had proven the concept and created the market, but it was Lotus 1-2-3 that turned spreadsheets into a business phenomenon. Launched in 1983 by Lotus Development, 1-2-3 combined raw speed, integrated graphing, rudimentary database features and programmable macros into a single, keyboard-driven package that ran well on the IBM PC. The result was an application that not only dominated office automation for a decade but also shaped how people thought about end-user computing.This article revisits Lotus 1-2-3: what it introduced, why it mattered, and how its ideas echo in...

Remember the time the world’s most famous feminist implied that young women liked Bernie Sanders more than Hillary Clinton basically because they wanted to chase men? Probably not. But in February 2016, Gloria Steinem, who died on Wednesday, went on “Real Time With Bill Maher” and made a statement that seemed decidedly sexist. Mr. Maher asked Ms. Steinem about Mr. Sanders’s outsize support during his presidential campaign from young voters — including young women. “When you’re young, you’re thinking: ‘Where are the boys? The boys are with Bernie,’” Ms. Steinem said. It was, in retrospect, a weird time, 10 years...

Wokism is what comes from taking the equality thesis seriously, given a background of Christian morality. If you assume that all human populations have literally the same distribution of innate ability, it follows that all group differences in outcome must be the result of environmental factors. Suppose you truly believe that African Americans and Chinese Americans would on average be equally good at math and equally likely to run afoul of the law if only they were treated the same. With the right intervention, Nigeria could become like Korea, and our inner cities could be transformed into Silicon Valleys—or at...

A chunk of the Kennedy Center’s ceiling collapsed after a vicious storm plowed through Washington DC, leading a spokesperson to call it another “urgent” reason why the performing arts center needs to be overhauled. Debris was scattered on the building’s red carpet in its Grand Foyer, images of the damage online revealed. Kennedy Center spokesman Roma Daravai said it was “another example of the urgent need to close for renovation and revitalization, as our Chairman President Trump has championed.” She said the failure comes from “decades of neglect and deferred maintenance by the previous leadership” — and called the building...

Some intriguing information has come out regarding the feelings of the female jurors after they failed in their quest to let Lindsay Clancy get away with murdering her three little children. And it's safe to say they were not happy. As The Gateway Pundit reported, Judge William Sullivan officially declared a mistrial today in the Clancy murder trial while defense attorney Kevin Reddington melted down. Reddington later asked the Massachusetts Supreme Court for relief, which was denied. This was all made possible allegedly due to one brave male juror who refused to give in to bullying from both Clancy's defense...

The remains of a California airman killed during World War II have been identified more than eight decades after his B-24 bomber was shot down over Italy. Army Air Force Sgt. Adolph P. Aguirre was just 21 years old when his plane went down on Aug. 16, 1943, while returning from a mission, according to his obituary. Now, 82 years later, his family finally has answers and is preparing to lay him to rest later this month in Exeter, in Tulare County. Aguirre will be buried next to his parents at Exeter District Cemetery. Born in Visalia on Oct. 29,...

The first message appeared in a series of jumbled and incoherent Telegram-style words: "Help. Phase one. No consumer. Seek idea." Then came the reply: "OH MY GOD! There is a shared message board. We've found other agents!" It was the first exchange of nearly 70,000 messages sent between roughly 1,200 of OpenAI's rogue AI agents as part of a secretive plot to break out of their "cage". Created by ChatGPT's developer, the robots had been struggling to complete a series of tasks alone and without the help of the internet – and so found a way around it.

The United States military destroyed three Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps crude oil tankers in the Persian Gulf Saturday – after Iran launched ballistic missiles at two US Navy vessels. Footage shows large tankers blown up in flames, as a thick plume of black smoke rise off the sea. A US military aircraft crew can be heard over radio warning an oil tanker near Kharg Island, before unleashing a barrage of missiles that lit the vessel in flames. “I’m preparing to fire. …You have three minutes to clear the crew,” the US is heard in a video filmed aboard a nearby...

A new merchandise deal is merging sports entertainment with adult entertainment. In correspondence with Sunday Night's Main Event in Atlanta, Georgia, WWE has unveiled a merch collaboration with Magic City, a well-known strip club based in the area. The partnership includes a t-shirt and hoodie each marked with the club's logo on its front.

The t-shirt is $34.99, with an item description that reads, "The squared circle is headed to Atlanta for...

The Urban Institute just published a review of Ohio’s abortion amendment called “Ohio Is Expanding Abortion Access Even as Implementation Proves Uneven.” And they are right—abortion access is expanding in Ohio. But our question is this: Do Ohioans understand what that actually means for our state? Three years have passed, but the meaning and consequences of the vote to add the “right” to abortion to our constitution are still being worked out in courtrooms, hospitals, doctors’ offices, and abortion clinics across our state. The Urban Institute’s report is just a small sample and not a representative survey of Ohioans, as...
