The Suicide Squad’s Joel Kinnaman Under Investigation For Alleged Rape - "Joel Kinnaman is under investigation after being accused of rape.  The Suicide Squad actor is the subject of an ongoing investigation by the Swedish Prosecution Authority and is expected to be interviewed about the complaint, which is believed to have come from a Swedish-Jamaican woman named Bella Davis, aka Gabriella Magnusson, who the 41-year-old star received a restraining order against last week.  Joel accused the woman of extortion after she allegedly threatened to publicise false information about him in the past.  The actor's attorney, Patricia Glaser, told E! News: It appears that after learning of the restraining order, she filed her complaint. The court papers that Mr Kinnaman filed stated, among other things, that Ms Davis threatened to publicise false information about Mr. Kinnaman - including that he had sex with her against her will - unless he capitulated to her monetary and other demands, which included Hollywood introductions, a work visa sponsorship, a blue verification checkmark on Instagram, and more"

Meme - "I only jerk off to gay porn. And am NOT gay. Here is why: When you masturbate to porn, you get disensitized in the long run. That means if you jerk off to pawgs, milfs, teens, etc... in the long run you cock will no longer get erect when you see hot women. So even if you have a pawg sitting on your cock it will be flacid and you will feel no attraction whatsoever. BUT if you masturbate to gay porn only (such as twinks, breeding, sissy, traps...) you will become disensitized to men and will NOT feel attracted to them, while remaining attracted to hot women. Sometimes my intellect surprises me."

Hasan Piker’s salary shocks fans as Twitch star’s earnings are leaked - "Hasan Piker, aka HasanAbi, has become a hot topic on Twitter ever since a Twitch leak allegedly exposed the streamer’s salary...   The leak alleges that the Twitch hunk rakes up $210,946 in a month.  The leak also alleged that Hasan had been paid a total of $2,810,480 from Twitch between August 2019 and October 2021. These numbers make him a higher earner than Ninja and Pokimane, the platform’s two biggest names...   Hasan’s monthly earnings from Twitch left many of his fans and haters shocked. Many took to Twitter and pointed out that his earnings didn’t coincide with his support for socialist political ideals.  The 30-year-old New Brunswick, New Jersey streamer is the nephew of Young Turks founder Cenk Uygur, who identifies as a socialist. He was recently photographed at the Met Gala 2021 wearing a t-shirt that said, ‘Make the Rich Pay.’ Hence, Twitter users were quick to point out the ‘hypocrisy.’"

Scientists Hung Rhinos Upside-Down From Helicopters... For Science - "For a number of years, African rhinos have been translocated by hanging them upside-down suspended from a helicopter, blindfolded and under tranquilization. As well as enabling the capture and short-distance transfer of rhinos from areas inaccessible by road, transport by helicopter can mean shorter journey times, so it can be preferable for the rhino where it's practical to do so."

The Secret Snacks of Soldiers - "A clever ploy I’ve seen is to check the type of snack issued together with the combat ration–a pack of three Oreos, for example–then go to the supermarket to buy a large number of the exact same product, and bring those out for the exercise. This way, the soldier can enjoy unlimited sugary cookies in the field without worrying the wrappers will give him away if his trash is examined–Oreos were issued, after all... I’ve heard one cheeky cadet boast about how his section managed to bring a literal Haidilao self-heating hotpot out into the jungle in a field pack... One of my sergeants told our section, with a kind of awe, how a previous batch of cadets pulled off a stunt he couldn’t stop. “I knew they were going to bring food,” he told us, “so before we went out I thoroughly checked everything they had. Couldn’t find anything. We go outfield, I sneak up on their rest area after a mission, and what do I see? The buggers are passing around slices of white bread with tuna spread!”  In the end, he was so curious to know how his cadets had pulled off the job, he simply asked them–they proudly showed how they packed slices of bread and tuna cans into ziplock bags before folding them into their spare uniform packs, making them completely invisible from the outside. “Best team work I had ever seen…” my sergeant told us, shaking his head.   This kind of mischief is not limited to the army–our blue-clad comrades in the SPF aren’t above it either. I spoke to a fellow former homeschooler, and self-proclaimed “gummy bear addict,” my good friend SC/SGT(1) Noel Lim, about his experience smuggling snacks into the Home Team Academy, which enforces a strict ban on outside food."

Why So Many Bars Are Named After Cocks - "  While people seem to have genuinely liked the taste of cock ale, it was particularly valued for more medicinal qualities. Depending on who made it and where, cock ale was seen as a warm and nourishing elixir that could alleviate tuberculosis, or a “provocative” drink, a kind of early Viagra. The drink was so renowned for these properties that the modern popularity of bar and tavern names such as The Cock Tavern, The Cock and Bottle, and The Famous Cock can be traced back to cock ale... The notion that cock ale was sexually stimulating is linked to its healing reputation, since both relied on cock ale as a “Restorer of decay’d Nature.” But it also comes from cocks’ reputation as hyper-masculine birds. In his Ornithology of 1678, Francis Willughby describes the cock as “a most salacious bird” prone to “the immoderate use of Venery,” and also notes that cocks are “very couragious and high spirited birds, that will rather die than yield.” This latter quality made cock fighting a popular sport, and taverns were common venues. Cocks were renowned for their sexual and fighting prowess; the qualities that made drinking their flesh an aphrodisiac also made them great sporting animals."

Cash transfers and labor supply: Evidence from a large-scale program in Iran - "This paper examines the impact of a national cash transfer program on labor supply in Iran. In 2011, Iran started monthly deposits of cash into individual accounts covering more than 70 million people and amounting to 28% of the median per capita household income. The payments were compensation for the sudden removal of hefty energy subsidies. The program has been heavily criticized for its disincentive for work, especially for the poor. We use panel data to study the causal effect of the transfers on labor supply using exogenous variation in the time households first started receiving transfers and in the intensity of treatment, which we define as the share of net transfers from the program in total per capita household expenditures. We find no evidence that cash transfers reduced labor supply, in terms of hours worked or labor force participation. To the contrary, we find positive effects on the labor supply of women and self-employed men."

How can I reheat my leftover takeout to avoid a soggy mess? We asked Toronto chefs for some tips | The Star - "For a shawarma plate, Ali Dbouk of Ghadir Meat and Restaurant, at Lawrence Avenue East and Pharmacy Avenue in Scarborough, says the tricky part is that since the meat is already cooked reheating it can dry it out. It’s why he says Ghadir sells pre-marinated shawarma and kebab meats for people to cook at home.  Still, he says adding a bit of oil to a hot pan will reintroduce a bit of moisture into the meat. Wrapping it in a pita or sandwich with a spread of hummus and sliced tomatoes also helps compensate for the drier meat, he says.  Extra pitas can be frozen, he adds, and should be set out to defrost for 10 minutes. Heating the pita isn’t necessary and he says doing so can make the pita brittle.  If it’s a shawarma wrap, keep it in the foil to prevent the pita from drying out and reheat it in the oven around 350F. Take out any veggies and put them back after if you don’t want them to wilt.  In the case of something like jerk chicken, it is best heated slowly on a low setting to preserve the moisture... Cunningham advises reheating the chicken at 250F in the oven until the inside of the chicken is hot again. Microwaving would be faster, he says, but it would dry out the chicken.  Foods like fried chicken can come back to life when reheated in the oven at 325F, says Joanna Liu of Yueh Tung, a Hakka restaurant in the downtown Toronto core. Alternatively, the chicken can just be added to porridge and noodles, especially if it’s coated in a sauce that makes reviving a crispy skin impossible. “If I had plain congee, which is just one cup of rice cooked down with four cups of water, I’d just mix some of our chili chicken into it,” Liu said. “I’ve also just added the chili chicken to instant noodles to make it like a stew. I know it sounds gross, but it’s actually really good.”  When it comes to starches like noodles, chef Chantana “Top” Srisomphan of Khao San Road, Little Khao and Nana says leftover pad Thai is best reheated through a two-step process.  “When a pad Thai is in the fridge, the noodles stick together,” she said. “The noodles will break if you transfer it directly into a pan and start stirring. If you heat it completely in the microwave, the noodles will just stick together and the oil will separate from the noodles and taste oily.”  To prevent this, she says to warm up the noodles in the microwave for a few seconds just to get them soft again, making sure they’re in a microwave-safe bowl or plate. Then transfer them to a lightly oiled pan to finish reheating. If reheating a curry or soup, Srisomphan advises separating the meat and vegetables from the liquid if possible. Reheat the liquid on the stove over medium-low heat until it begins to come to a boil. Then add the meat and vegetables to simmer at the end so that they’re not overcooked.  Liu adds that day-old rice can be ideal for making fried rice, and if you have leftover fried rice or noodles, but it’s not enough for a second meal, supplement with more vegetables.  Add a bit of liquid, like broth, in a hot pan when reheating the rice to create steam.  “If I have a bit of fried rice, I’d put an egg in a hot pan, a bit of garlic, kimchi or any kind of vegetable to reheat fried rice,” she said.  Dumplings with thicker skins like momos can be reheated in the microwave for about a minute or two... The key is to place a moist piece of paper towel on top to prevent the wrappers from drying out as they heat up... For those who prefer their leftover pizza to be hot, Giorgio Taverniti, owner of the long-standing Frank’s Pizza House on St. Clair Avenue West, suggests putting the slices in a 400F oven for three to five minutes.  There’s also a more unorthodox method Taverniti swears by.  “I have a friend in New York City who does pizza tours and, eight years ago, I saw him heat up pizza on a frying pan, cheese side down, on medium heat. As soon as the cheese melts, you flip it over and toast the crust. It’s perfect,” Taverniti said. “A microwave will make it soggy. I like the frying pan method.”"

Parasite Man : Jearrod95 - "My obsession hurts others around me. It's also my fetish, but it goes far deeper than that. I'll try to explain the obsession the best I can, by explaining how it started. Basically, when I was young I caught pin worms. It was a strange feeling and the itch was painful. My parents took me to the doctor and I got medication to cure it. This event is what sparked my obsession. The thought that my body could be their whole world, their lifeline... almost a planet of sorts. It was so interesting. After that I began researching pinworms and other parasites. And I found out the human body already hosts parasites (such as Demodex on their eyelashes) and I wanted to know how many a human body could endure without a chance of serious health issues. This curiosity has plagued my mind for YEARS. I'm now 25, but I am very well versed in parasites as have been studying them for over 10 years. I also purposely infect myself with nonlethal parasites because it's part of a fetish of mine. Some have worked better than others. Quite a few have given me serious diarrhea and fevers, while others have been much more bearable. I currently have pinworms and tapeworms, various nonpathogenic protozoa and pubic lice. I am incredibly masochistic so although it's uncomfortable I do feel pleasure from it. All these parasites mean I need to eat a lot more than the average person and I still look thin, and to be quite honest it means I can enjoy so much more food than most people. I also keep multiple cultures of bed bugs and leeches in containers and allow them to feed on my blood sometimes, although those kinds are not really my passion as they do not live primarily on the human body, but I think they're interesting nonetheless, and I find them pretty cute.  Now it's time for the confession.  My obsession and fetish isn't just about infecting myself anymore. I also have the desire to infect others and I have acted on those desires Sometimes my parasites just pioneer to new lands on their own (my family have caught pinworms multiple times without my intention) and other times I purposely spread them.  I have infected strangers, friends and even my own family. I know it's bad but I just can't stop. I think I have parasites in my brain that makes me feel like I need to spread them. I know how crazy that sounds but if you knew the feeling you'd understand... I must have spread thousands of my children over the years. I sometimes sprinkle tape worm eggs into peoples drinks when I'm out at clubs. I also caught pubic lice from sex with a random woman I met at the same club, and in return I'm pretty sure I gave her pin worms, so it was a trade. The woman wasn't even attractive, I just wanted to gift her some pinworms, and instead I basically won the jackpot by sleeping with her. I then spread my pubic lice to at least 4 other women. Sometimes I also sprinkle worm eggs onto food in buffets whenever I visit them.  Yes, I understand you would think it's gross and messed up. I am basically betraying my species for my children. It's hard. I do enjoy people and I have wonderful friends and family, but I also love my parasites and my fetish is just too hard to control. I don't want to hurt anyone when I do these things but a force beyond my understanding is driving me to do it. I think I could possibly have a parasite in my brain that has not yet been discovered... I hope the people I spread my gifts too can find it in their hearts to be a little more open minded and not kill my children but learn to live with them like I have instead"

The point of nipple erection 2: The effect of nipple erection on intended and expected altruism. - "Previous research has shown that men perceive nipple erection as signaling more sexually receptive states. This study intended to determine if this perception changed male hypothetical behavior. For example, would men be more willing to assist women with nipple erection as opposed to those without? Participants were asked to rate pictures of women with and without salient nipple erection (faces were obscured to prevent discerning emotional states). Men perceived women with nipple erection as more deserving of altruism, especially if that altruism involved greater interaction with the woman, and they expected these same women to behave more altruistically toward them. They also believed the women with erect nipples should be included in their social groups. Women, on the other hand, did not perceive them as deserving of greater altruistic behaviors, did not expect greater altruistic behaviors from them, and did not want to include them into their social groups."

New fossils suggest human ancestors evolved in Europe, not Africa - "humanity’s forebearers may have arisen in Europe before migrating to Africa, potentially upending a scientific consensus that has stood since Darwin’s day... the 8- to 9-million-year-old hominin jaw bones were found at Nikiti, northern Greece, in the ’90s. Scientists originally pegged the chompers as belonging to a member of Ouranopithecus, an genus of extinct Eurasian ape."

Potato recipe overload for minister - "When Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev's wife boasted over an official dinner at Chequers that her country had 300 recipes for cooking potatoes, it seems Agriculture Minister Michael Jopling had his doubts.  Official files released by the National Archives show that Raisa Gorbachev was so keen to prove her point during the couple's visit in December 1984 that she even offered to send the minister a recipe book.  Seven months later, the promised volume duly arrived at the Ministry for Agriculture.  An accompanying note from Mrs Gorbachev declared triumphantly: "My apologies for being somewhat inaccurate: in fact, there are 500, rather than 300, recipes to cook potatoes."  Officials were at a loss to know what to do with it. One wrote to the Foreign Office: "It is, naturally, in Russian. If you have anyone who reads Russian and has a fondness for potatoes, we would be happy to lend it.""

The crane who fell in love with a human - The Washington Post - "When Walnut arrived at the Front Royal, Va., endangered species breeding center, back in 2004, she was the most genetically valuable white-naped crane in captivity. At 23, she had yet to produce a single chick, and she had a reputation for murdering her mates. Two male cranes that made amorous overtures toward Walnut had been found dead, with their bellies sliced open by her sharp claws. That, at least, was the rumor, Lynch says... Crowe noticed that Walnut seemed interested in, well, him. When Crowe stopped by her yard, she would bow her head and raise her wings — motions that Crowe now recognizes as the first moves of a mating dance. “At first, I thought that she was just excited to see me,” Crowe says. “But then I’d see the other pairs doing the same things, and it kind of dawned on me.” Crowe accepted Walnut’s invitation to dance. Though he felt a little silly, he bobbed his head when Walnut bobbed hers, and raised and lowered his arms like wings. The two circled each other, and sometimes Walnut would make a loud, trumpeting call — the beginning of the white-naped crane love duet. If no one was around, Crowe would try to do the male part of the song — making a Homer Simpson-like “woo-hoo” — but Walnut never found his efforts satisfactory.   As the weather cooled, so did Walnut’s ardor. But in the spring, Walnut began greeting her keeper with bows again. This gave Crowe an idea: If Walnut thought he was her mate, maybe Crowe could make that year’s artificial insemination less stressful for both of them... In fact, at least one man had “mated” with a crane before. Back in 1982, ICF’s George Archibald bonded with a whooping crane named Tex... Walnut and Crowe would go on to produce five chicks this way — a major boon for the captive white-naped crane population... Walnut’s rare genes are no longer in danger of dying with her, which is why, in 2008, a crane named Amanda stole Walnut’s title as the most genetically valuable crane in captivity. Like Walnut, Amanda had few relatives and no offspring, so she was sent to SCBI to see if Crowe could work his magic again. He succeeded, so then he was sent another difficult female, a young crane named Wucheng... Amanda was eventually paired successfully with a male crane, and Wucheng seems to be able to bond with both humans and cranes, so she, too, will probably be matched with another bird. But as far as Walnut is concerned, Crowe is her mate for life... Captive cranes can live past 60 years old, which means Crowe’s commitment to Walnut could, in theory, last decades. “If she’s still here when I’m eligible for retirement, I won’t be able to leave,” he says. “I’d feel like a jerk.” Another male keeper — and Walnut clearly prefers men to women — might be able to woo her if Crowe were to disappear. But, as Crowe has seen with his other cranes, the loss of a mate is traumatic. Widowed cranes stop eating and fill the air with mournful calls, sometimes for weeks on end... When I ask him if he has a partner, and if she or he is jealous of Walnut, Crowe responds with a disarming quip: “Walnut sets the bar pretty high. I’ll never find a woman that’s so happy to see me that she just starts dancing.” Like an old couple, Crowe and Walnut have fallen into a comfortable routine. After “mating” with Crowe, Walnut will often lay unfertilized eggs. Crowe replaces them with fake ones; the real ones would rot and get eaten by crows, which would prompt Walnut to lay more. The bird then spends long hours sitting on the dummy eggs, so Crowe helps her out whenever he gets the chance. “I go over and stand near the nest and I say, ‘You take a break.’ And she’ll wander off. She’ll go down into the creek and take a bath. Then she walks back after 15 or 20 minutes, and she’s ready to sit back on the nest again.” Though he does his best to not be a deadbeat dad, Crowe knows he falls short of crane standards. These are creatures that, once paired up, rarely lose sight of their partner; Crowe, in contrast, disappears every weekend. But despite Crowe’s shortcomings, Walnut loves him unconditionally. In fact, this 12-pound bird’s capacity for boundless affection sets a standard that we all could learn from, Crowe says. “The ideal partner doesn’t exist. You have to accept certain things that people can’t change,” he explains. “I mean, she puts up with me even though I can’t dance or sing.”"

Lawmaker Born In USSR Grills Merrick Garland: ‘The FBI Is Starting To Resemble Old KGB’ - "Rep.

Do you plan to defend the Second Amendment rights which are explicitly protected by our Constitution as vigorously as you do abortion rights?
