Colorado officials are probing a suspected case of monkeypox in a 'young' gay or bisexual man who has recently returned from Canada—with the state becoming the eighth to report a presumptive case of the virus. Local health chiefs revealed late Thursday that the individual came to a clinic in the Denver area—the state's biggest city—suffering symptoms of the virus. The patient—who has not been named—is now isolating at home and contact tracing is underway. The risk the virus has spread to others is believed to be 'low'.(Snip)
The vast majority of infections are in gay and bisexual men, and most are thought to be linked

Left-wing critics are demanding that HBO “cancel” Bill Maher after accusing the HBO “Real Time” host of delivering an anti-transgender monologue on last Friday’s show. David Kilmnick, who heads the nonprofit LGBT Network, wrote an article in Advocate magazine on Wednesday titled: “Bill Maher Has Gone Too Far With Anti-LGBTQ+ Comments.” Maher was blasted for saying that “we’re literally experimenting on children” by providing them with puberty blockers and other treatments aimed at facilitating gender transitions.
He also said that transitioning was becoming “trendy.” Maher hit out at Chase Strangio, a lawyer for the American Civil Liberties Union, who cheered efforts to ban a book

The phrase “Finlandize,” which the president mispronounced as “Fingalize,” refers to Finland’s Cold War-era practice of treading lightly in international politics so as not to upset its near neighbors in Moscow. The president was speaking about Finland and Sweden applying

Law enforcement officers are investigating whether a retired federal agent had about 30 minutes advance notice of a white supremacist's plans to murder Black people at a Buffalo supermarket, two law enforcement officials told The Buffalo News. Authorities believe the former agent–believed to be from Texas–was one of at least six individuals who regularly communicated with accused gunman Payton Gendron in an online chat room where racist hatred was discussed, the two officials said. The two law enforcement sources with direct knowledge of the investigation stated these individuals were invited by Gendron to read about his mass shooting plans and the target location about 30 minutes before

Texas cops said last night that they didn't immediately rush in to find the shooter on Tuesday's attack after being shot at because they feared they might be killed, and even suggested that they deliberately locked the gunman in the classroom where he slaughtered 21 people in order to trap him. Department of Safety Lt. Chris Olivarez made the astonishing comments during an appearance on CNN last night.(Snip)'So they were able to contain that gunman inside that classroom so that he was not able to go to any other portions of the school to commit any other killings,' Lt. Olivarez said.

A top executive at Microsoft watched “VR porn” in front of his subordinates in the office, according to a new report. The executive, virtual reality chief Alex Kipman, allegedly watched a sexy pillow fight involving young women in skimpy clothing in front of a half-dozen staffers, Insider reported. A screen in the room reportedly displayed the frisky video while Kipman was watching it on a virtual reality headset. The staffers were baffled and two of them walked out of the room, according to the outlet. One employee who was at the meeting told Insider that Kipman watching what they described as “VR porn” made people “incredibly uncomfortable.”

South Korean pop band BTS will join President Biden on Tuesday to discuss “Asian inclusion and representation” and address the anti-Asian discrimination that rose alongside the coronavirus pandemic, the White House said Thursday. Mr. Biden plans to use the White House visit to highlight the COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act he signed last year to provide law enforcement with resources to identify, investigate and report hate crimes, and ensure information about these crimes is available to Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander communities. “President Biden and BTS will also discuss the importance of diversity and inclusion and BTS’ platform as youth ambassadors who spread a message of hope

A female gamer reported a fellow online player to the FBI after he threatened to 'shoot up a school' when he lost their game—just hours before 18-year-old gunman Salvador Ramos killed 21 people in a Texas school massacre. The woman, who has not been identified, was playing horror survival game Dead by Daylight—with four other people online where they are only known as their 'gamer tag' on Tuesday. In the game, four players are assigned the role of 'The Survivors' who must hide and survive another player: 'The killer'. If caught, the survivors are impaled on hooks and sacrificed.

Top officials at the Food and Drug Administration admitted they took too long to respond to a baby formula shortage and were hobbled by bad decisions and problems related to COVID-19, including a whistleblower report about a formula factory that was lost in the mail. Top FDA officials and company executives from the nation’s three baby formula manufacturers answered questions Thursday from House lawmakers about a massive shortage triggered by the closure of one of the nation’s largest production plants and exacerbated by a slow government response.(Snip)When asked to rate his performance on a scale of 1 to 10, Mr. Califf gave himself “a 4 or a 5”

"Go in there! Go in there!" nearby women shouted at the officers soon after the attack began, said Juan Carranza, 24, who saw the scene from outside his house, across the street from Robb Elementary School in the town of Uvalde. Carranza said the officers did not go in. Minutes earlier, Carranza had watched
