She refused medical attention at the scene.(Snip) Thursday’s demonstration was part of the Stonewall Protests, which gathers weekly outside the iconic Greenwich Village bar to march around Manhattan.

The Nigerian government announced Friday it had indefinitely suspended Twitter’s operations in the West African country—but drew mockery for posting its statement about the ban on Twitter. Minister for Information and Culture Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said that the country had “suspended, indefinitely, the operations of the microblogging and social networking service, Twitter, in Nigeria.” The statement, posted on the ministry’s official Twitter account, cited “the persistent use of the platform for activities that are capable of undermining Nigeria’s corporate existence.”
The suspension came two days after the social media giant deleted a post from President Muhammadu Buhari that threatened to punish regional secessionists.
What a relief! New women's urinal
is six times quicker to use than a
traditional toilet, inventors say 33 replies
is six times quicker to use than a
traditional toilet, inventors say 33 replies
University graduates have designed a women's urinal they claim is six times more efficient than the traditional lockable toilet. Amber Robyn and Hazel McShane, who graduated from the University of Bristol last year, designed the hands-free Peequal when they were asked to solve a 'real life problem' for their masters project.(Snip) Not wasting time on opening and closing doors and cleaning toilet seats, or laying toilet paper out over the seat, are also ways the design improves efficiency. A prototype of the urinal, which is semi-private so others waiting to use the Peequal can't see anything from the waist down,
In 2019, Google embarked on a mysterious-sounding venture. Called Project Nightingale and carried out in secret, the tech giant teamed up with St. Louis-based Ascension, one of the largest private health-care companies in the country. Google was granted complete access to 50 million patients’ names, lab results, diagnoses and hospitalization records, as well as their home addresses and places of employment. Even more worryingly, at no time did Ascension or Google make an attempt to inform the patients or ask for their consent.(Snip) Now, hungry for even more medical data, Google has signed a multiyear deal with HCA, an American for-profit operator
A 21-year-old Amazon delivery woman viciously beat another woman, 67, who had called her a bi**ch after the San Francisco-area driver told her to 'check her white privilege' when she'd complained about a delayed package. Itzel Ramirez, the Amazon driver, was arrested after she was filmed assaulting the woman in Alameda County, the sheriff’s office said on Friday.(Snip) ‘I believe the Amazon driver said something about “your white privilege,” and my tenant said, “You don’t need to be a b***h about it,” turned around and walked away,’ Smith told KTVU-TV. Ramirez was so enraged that she began punching
The Dr. Anthony Fauci email dump includes a puzzling image—a March Madness-style tournament bracket of fatal diseases, in which coronavirus emerges as champion. The image is titled “Dr. Fauci’s March Madness Bracketology Picks.” It is dated March 11, 2020, and signed “—Tony F.” In the morbid pool, coronavirus—top-seeded out of the East region—defeats a field that included such dreaded diseases as Ebola, H1N1, Zika, herpes, and measles.
Whether it was a weak attempt at gallows humor among Fauci and his friends, or a published cartoon being forwarded around, isn’t clear. But the image did generate shock on social media.
President Biden on Thursday issued a memo that establishes anti-corruption efforts as a core U.S. national security interest and that is intended to get federal agencies to step up efforts on tackling corruption and illicit financing schemes. Mr. Biden said the U.S. plans to lead by example in what he described as a worldwide mission. “Corruption is a risk to our national security, and we must recognize it as such,” the president said in a statement. “Fighting corruption is not just good governance. It is self-defense. It is patriotism. And it’s essential to the preservation of our democracy and our future.”
The Wuhan Institute of Virology was awarded hundreds of thousands of dollars more in federal grant money than chief White House medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci indicated to lawmakers last week, newly released emails show. The messages, obtained by the conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch, show that the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) allocated $826,277 to the lab over a six-year period ending in 2019 via the New York City-based non-profit EcoHealth Alliance.(Snip) Between fiscal years 2014 and 2019, EcoHealth received approximately $3.75 million in grant money to carry out its study titled, “Understanding the Risk of Bat Coronavirus Emergency.”
The man who was fatally shot by Minneapolis cops Thursday had been wanted in connection with a felony arms conviction and been involved in at least 20 previous run-ins with authorities, according to records and a report. Winston Boogie Smith, 32, was gunned down in the Midwest city around 2 p.m. when he “produced a handgun” as members of a US Marshals task force tried to take him into custody on the state warrant, the Hennepin County Sheriff’s Department said. Smith—who once posed with civil rights lawyer Ben Crump and posted about the George Floyd trial—was wanted in neighboring Ramsey County for failing
Medical researchers with the Chinese army engineered mice with humanized lungs in 2019 to test viruses on them, it has been reported.
The mice, developed using CRISPR gene-editing technology, were mentioned in an April 2020 study which researched their susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes the COVID-19 illness, Vanity Fair revealed in its bombshell investigation. Of the study's 23 co-authors, 11 of them worked for the Academy of Military Medical Sciences, the medical research institute for the Chinese army. Investigators with the U.S. National Security Council, researching the origins of the pandemic, determined that the mice referenced in the study were created
Governor Andrew Cuomo's youngest daughter Michaela has come out as bisexual in an Instagram post celebrating her 'queer identity'. The 23-year-old Brown University graduate opened up about her sexuality in honor of Pride month, sharing two images of herself posing in a 'gay for you' baseball cap, with one featuring the rainbow Pride flag and the Pansexual flag in the background. 'Michaela Kennedy-Cuomo is queer,' she began her caption, adding: 'Today I stand in my queer identity with pride.' Michaela, who is the daughter of Cuomo's ex-wife Kerry Kennedy, also hit out at Instagram, accusing the photo-sharing app of 'censoring the LGBTQ community'
Seattle—Seattle city crews plan to clear out a homeless camp where a deadly shooting took place just days ago. Just under 20 tents are pitched on a strip of green space near Ravenna Park. Crime associated with the camp has been mounting in recent weeks, a trend the city confirmed on Thursday.
Tents have been pitched around an area known as Olga Park for the past few years, but neighbors said the group that has gathered recently is unlike the others.(Snip) “Very open drug dealing, open sex acts. And you know, you have small children and your window is right there, and someone is

The police department in one of America’s fastest-growing cities is facing staff shortages so severe that it will not respond to certain 911 calls, including complaints of burglaries, theft, property damage, identity theft, or trespassing.The Asheville, North Carolina Police Department said that it has lost 84 officers since January 1, 2020.APD Police Chief David Zack says the attrition rate, which has accelerated since protests against law enforcement became widespread in the wake of George Floyd’s death in May of last year, has reached crisis proportions.He said it is necessary to no longer respond in-person to low-level offenses
According to The Washington Post, it's hunting season for cancel culture and its latest targets are "racist" birds.
The Post ran an expansive report on Thursday, titled "The racist legacy many birds carry," focused on the "birding community," which apparently is having a difficult debate "about the names of species connected to enslavers, supremacists and grave robbers." "Corina Newsome is a Black ornithologist, as rare as some of the birds she studies," Post environmental justice reporter Darryl Fears began his piece, noting she was hired to "break down barriers" at the Georgia Audubon nature preserve. "But overcoming those barriers will be daunting.
SAN DIEGO — A federal judge on Friday struck down California's ban on assault weapons as unconstitutional but left plenty of time for the state to file an appeal. Judge Roger T. Benitez, who has favored pro-gun groups in past rulings, called the AR-15 rifle, used in many of the nation's deadliest mass shootings, "a perfect combination of a home defense weapon and homeland defense equipment."
"Yet, the State of California makes it a crime to have an AR15 type rifle," Benitez wrote. "Therefore, this Court declares the California statutes to be unconstitutional."
He praised the AR-15 as a rifle that should be formally protected by the law for its "militia readiness."

Trumpian Campaign Launch 20 replies
The recent campaign launch by a Bush family scion has upended their longstanding unity, causing heartbreak behind the scenes and even a rare public rebuke from a longtime Bush loyalist. The Bushes have long been known for their conservative politics and loyalty to their inner circle. Political consultants and advisers for former President George H.W. Bush, former President George W. Bush, and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush often worked with them for a decade or more, remaining in close contact years after the time in elected office had come to an end. George P. Bush, Jeb’s son, was elected as
Forty years ago, researchers described the mysterious cases of five gay men who had fallen ill with a pneumonia caused by the bacteria Pneumocystis carinii. Two of the five men had already died. That type of pneumonia usually affects only individuals who are severely immunocompromised, researchers wrote in the June 5, 1981 Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report. Scientists would soon discover that a disease that would come to be known as AIDS was devastating the men’s immune systems. Three years later, scientists pinned the blame for AIDS on a virus dubbed HIV, or human immunodeficiency virus. Margaret Heckler, the then
Senate senility
20 replies
The Washington Post reports that the current U.S. Senate is the oldest in American history. Dianne Feinstein turns 88 this month. Charles Grassley turns 88 in September.
Richard Shelby is 87. James Inhofe is 86. Patrick Leahy is 81. Twenty-three senators are in their 70s. The average age of senators at the beginning of this year was 64.3 years.
It may be that being 88 now is like being, say, 78 a few decades ago. So despite being the oldest, this might not be the most age-impaired Senate in our history. Robert Caro’s book about the Lyndon Johnson-dominated Senate makes it clear
Former President Donald Trump said he was intrigued by the idea of leading opposition to President Joe Biden by running for Congress and becoming speaker of the House, an idea that is gaining currency among his supporters.The strategy was floated as Trump prepares for his return to the political spotlight at the North Carolina Republican convention on Saturday night.It is billed as the next phase in his political career, with the resumption of rallies and speeches - as well as a long teased return to social media.During a Friday interview, far-right radio host Wayne Allyn Root took up the idea that Trump did not have to wait for the 2024
Thursday, Gov. Kristi Noem (R-SD) spoke about the Biden administration’s decision to close Mount Rushmore for the Fourth of July festivities, a contrast to a year earlier when then-President Donald Trump spoke before a fireworks display.
The South Dakota Republican slammed the move, claiming it was part of the “radical left’s agenda.”
“You know, the decision was really arbitrary,” she said. “That’s why we’ll be appealing this decision, and the fight isn’t over. There wasn’t specific reasons that had credibility, and we call this an unlawful act to not make sure that we can conduct our celebration on July 3 at Mount Rushmore like we did last year.
A lot of people have been wondering why, suddenly, the leftist establishment is embracing the idea that COVID came from the Wuhan Institute of Virology (which is tied to the Chinese military) after denying the possibility for so long. The answer may lie in the fact that the Defense Intelligence Agency has for months been debriefing a high-level Chinese Communist Party defector — but withheld the information from other agencies until recently because of fears that those agencies are compromised. In other words, it's a twofer: China did create and release the virus, and our federal government cannot be trusted.
In the aftermath of George Floyd’s murder in May 2020 and the worldwide protest movement it inspired, there were signs that comprehensive police reform was possible in the United States. The public expressed strong support, reform-minded lawmakers signaled major changes in big cities, and a bipartisan deal in Congress seemed possible. (Snip) Homicides increased somewhere between 25 percent and nearly 40 percent last year, the largest year-over-year jump on record. That trend has shown no sign of reversing in the first few months of 2021. Crime was one of the defining issues in American elections for decades, but a dramatic

Guess the restaurant was not sufficiently gay. Weekly protest marches about what, apart from need for attention? There is no way to satisfy or appease the various factions of Marxist protestors.
