    Abortion is a very difficult subject yet now it is somehow "gender affirming care" I give you my opinion on why I find this very upsetting amongst other things. #transgender #abortion #genderaffirmingcare #women #men Buck Angel's mission is to spread the truth. Note: Buck Angel is a transgender person, a woman living as a man. This person is upset at how the new "trans community" is views on abortion and the words "the joys of abortion" actual quote. Buck even states they are using abortion as birth control. Buck makes fun of these people because they are disgusting.

    Helen Alderman was a young girl when she learned that her great-uncle was the Florida soldier executed on July 7, 1865, with three others who had conspired to assassinate President Abraham Lincoln. On a sunny afternoon 129 years after Lewis Thornton Powell’s death, Alderman, 72, and about two dozen friends, family and historians gathered Saturday under the shade of six cypress trees at a Geneva community cemetery to bury a small mahogany box and close the story of the Florida farm boy who joined John Wilkes Booth in one of the most notorious acts in American history. “Never in my...

    During a visit to the newly christened Florida facility, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem revealed that a man detained under the previous administration was among the “worst of the worst” — including a self-mutilating cannibal. “The other day I was talking to some Marshals that had been partnering with ICE,” Noem said during her visit. “They said that they had detained a cannibal and put him on a plane to take him home and while they had him in his seat, he started to eat himself, and they had to get him off and get him medical attention.”...

    In a groundbreaking achievement, researchers at Oxford University have successfully demonstrated quantum teleportation between quantum computers, a feat that was previously confined to theoretical discussions and early-stage experiments. The team, led by physicist Dougal Main, managed to create a functioning logic gate between two quantum processors located about six feet apart. This represents a significant advancement in quantum computing, opening new possibilities for quantum networks and the realization of scalable quantum systems. Their work is featured in a study published in Nature, and it marks a pivotal moment in the race to create powerful, distributed quantum computers. Quantum Teleportation: A...

    The genetically modified “dire wolves” created by Colossal Biosciences have hit a major milestone: they’re now six months old, and their growth is nothing short of remarkable. These animals, Romulus, Remus, and Khaleesi, are part of a groundbreaking project aimed at resurrecting features of an ancient species that roamed Earth thousands of years ago. A Rapid Growth Surge At just six months old, Romulus and Remus, the older siblings of the trio, now weigh over 40 kilograms (around 90 pounds), nearly 20% heavier than a typical gray wolf. These shaggy cubs are becoming the living embodiment of the extinct dire...

Stephen Ireland, 42, who co-founded Pride in Surrey in 2018, raped the child at the flat he shared with his then partner and co-defendant David Sutton, 27, in Addlestone on April 19, 2024. Ireland had arranged for the 12-year-old boy, referred to in court as Child A, to meet him at his flat after messaging on dating app Grindr, the court heard. The boy, who had been reported missing at the time, told police they had sex...

Glastonbury revellers have long been accused of hypocrisy for leaving Worthy Farm buried under heaps of waste - despite the virtue-signalling eco-conscious event preaching sustainability.

Credit: DavidMPyle / CC BY-SA 4.0 =================================================================== A steady underground pulse has been discovered beneath East Africa, where researchers believe a new ocean is gradually forming. The rhythmic movement was detected in the Afar region of Ethiopia, a geological hotspot where three giant sections of the Earth’s crust—the Arabian, Nubian, and Somalian plates—are slowly pulling apart. The site, known as the Afar Triple Junction, is one of few places on Earth where the process of continental breakup can be observed on land. As the plates drift in different directions, the ground...

    Most people are inclined to shoo flies away from food, and the thought of maggots in your bins is enough to make anyone's stomach turn. But a handful of city councils have embraced maggots - more formally known as fly larvae - and their taste for rotting food. In Vilnius, capital of the Baltic state of Lithuania, fly larvae have officially been given the job of processing the 2,700 tonnes of food waste the city's 607,000 residents put out for collection each year, alongside that of the six neighbouring councils. Energesman, the waste management company that began relieving Vilnius of...

    A meteorite, complete with shock wave, light trail, and flight noises (rumbles, light a train or close airplane) struck the ground northeast of Atlanta this afternoon, 26 June 2025. Impact was visible from dash cameras in vehicles on I85 near the South Carolina border. Meteor is any solid object hitting the atmosphere but burning up before it hits the ground. A meteorite is a rocky solid that survives its flight through the atmosphere and hits the ground as a solid. Damage is unknown, some reports claim a house was struck.

And the day after I was indicted by an over-aggressive prosecutor's office...I stood in front of the entire press and I told them my faith in God is stronger right now than it ever is.” Adams was accused...

This video delves into the profound and often uncomfortable question of human existence, exploring the perspectives of philosophical pessimism and anti-natalism. We examine why some of history's greatest minds, and contemporary thinkers, argue that bringing new life into the world is not an act of love, but potentially an act of cruelty. Arthur Schopenhauer: The German philosopher is renowned for his 1818 work, The World as Will and Representation, which posits that the phenomenal world is a manifestation of a blind and irrational noumenal will. For Schopenhauer, human "willing"—desiring and...

    New research has found that being overworked can physically alter the brain. Researchers in South Korea set out to understand how working long hours impact the cognitive and emotional health of employees. The study, published in the journal Occupational & Environmental Medicine, assessed the brain volume of 110 healthcare workers who were classified by the categories of overworked — working greater than or equal to 52 hours per week — and non-overworked. […] The increased brain volume as observed was found in regions associated with executive functions, (study co-author Wanhyung) Lee said, such as memory, decision-making and attention — as...
