The Palestinian thobe fills my phone screen. It is black, originally indigo-dyed. It flares with orange, red, and jewel-coloured embroidery. The chest-piece is laden with intricate triangles, zigzags, and flower-like motifs. The front of the skirt bursts with a panel of squares bearing stars. The sleeves and sides are rich with greens, blues, and pinks […]

If someone smells really bad it can be an embarrassing topic to bring up - even more so if you're dating them. But how do you bring up such a sensitive subject?

A passenger died on a long-haul flight after blood suddenly erupted out of his mouth and nose and splattered all over the walls of the plane. The 63-year-old German man tragically passed away in the horrifying incident on Thursday while travelling from Thailand to his home country. Witnesses said the gentleman appeared unwell when he got on the flight from Bangkok just before midnight, suffering from cold sweats and breathing difficulties. But when staff tried to soothe his condition with some chamomile tea, blood suddenly poured out of his mouth and nose. Martin Missfelder who watched the tragedy unfold said traumatized passengers were left screaming in shock.

It’s difficult to overstate what an absolutely astonishing own goal Merrick Garland scored by appointing Robert Hur to lead the Biden documents case. Hur was nominated by Donald Trump to be the US Attorney for the District of Maryland. US Attorney positions are extremely important POLITICAL appointments.

It also mapped some of the consequences of Amoc collapse. Sea levels in the Atlantic would rise by a metre in some regions, inundating many coastal cities. The wet and dry seasons in the Amazon would flip, potentially pushing the already weakened rainforest past its own tipping point. Temperatures around the world would fluctuate far more erratically. The southern hemisphere would become warmer. Europe would cool dramatically and have less rainfall. While this might sound appealing compared with the current heating trend, the changes would hit 10 times faster than now, making adaptation almost impossible.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he has ordered the military to prepare a plan to evacuate the population of Rafah ahead of an expected Israeli invasion of the southern Gaza town.

Former Speaker Kevin McCarthy was in Las Vegas last night for Donald Trump's victory speech after the Nevada caucus, and he was asked to respond to his arch-enemy Matt Gaetz's suggestion that he should take over the RNC from Ronna McDaniel.

At the center of everything I’ve written for the last few months (if not the last few years), sits a cancerous problem with the fabric of how capital is deployed in modern business. Public and private investors, along with the markets themselves, have become entirely decoupled from the concept of what “good” business truly is, focusing on one metric…

The Liberal government is looking to put a dent in automobile theft by finding ways to ban devices commonly used to steal vehicles and eyeing tougher criminal penalties for perpetrators.

In a video posted on TikTok Feb. 3, @olivesongs11 composed a song based on the lore that Punxsutawney Phil has been alive since 1886, and his longevity comes from an "elixir of life" that he takes a sip of every summer. According to the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club, Phyliss, his wife, is unfortunately not offered the same elixir and is not given her own immortality.

A small plane pilot who authorities say has stalked a New York woman for years, flying low and sometimes throwing tomatoes, has been arrested for a fifth time.

Tallahassee police are investigating a possible trespassing incident after Leon County Commissioner David O'Keefe and City Commissioner Jeremy Matlow visited the site of the new Police Department as work crews removed 20 oak trees that community members had tried to save. Heather Merritt, a TPD spokesperson, confirmed Wednesday afternoon that the incident is under investigation but she could not say who was being investigated. "We are aware of an incident that occurred at the future headquarters of TPD and the investigation is ongoing," Merritt said. The commissioners' visit to the construction site on Jan. 25 was hardly a secret ― Matlow went live on Facebook with video from the scene as he offered scathing criticism of the decision to remove the trees and filmed video of the tree-cutting through a fence. Others also visited the site that morning, including City Commissioner Jack Porter and concerned citizens from neighborhoods around the old Northwood Centre property.

Footage released by the DA's office shows the cops initiated the arrest of a migrant in Times Square after he made a remark about "Ugly Betty."

The bill requires people be held on bail for dozens of new, small-time charges—and virtually eliminates charitable bail funds.

While once we dreamed of eradicating COVID, now much of society has resigned itself to SARS-CoV-2’s constant presence—a surrender that would once have been unthinkable. --- Let me stop you there, because the USA government never thought that and acted accordingly

A jury said Mann was defamed 12 years ago when a pair of conservative writers compared his depictions of global warming to a convicted child molester.

A Utah high school student needs police protection after a state school board member publicly singled out and suggested the student was transgender — without evidence — inciting threats from her followers on social media. Natalie Cline later apologized — but not before many commenters personally attacked the player, the student’s school district had to provide extra security for her, and the lawmaker who wrote the state’s anti-transgender athlete bill weighed in sharing private information possibly in violation of her own measure.

It’s amoral. It’s desperate. It’s politically reckless. It’s wrong no matter how you look at it. How do Democrats justify this lurch toward increased brutality at the border? Some appear to view it as a clever maneuver to beat the GOP at their own game. By adopting Republican framing and policy on immigration, and still getting rebuffed, this thinking goes, Democrats will show voters that Trump-driven hysteria is to blame for the supposed “crisis” at the border. It’s a confounding and amoral “gotcha” strategy, in which people seeking to move across the border in pursuit of safety, work, and a new home amount to little more than a mechanism for media narrative point-scoring. The messaging gambit from the White House and leading Senate Democrats is equal parts vulgar, xenophobic, and too cute by half. They are, they readily proclaim, giving Republicans “what they asked for.” And then, when Republicans reject it, Democrats say those Republicans want “border chaos” and are simply pawns of Trump and Trumpism. Republicans “appointed the Republican negotiator,” Senator Chris Murphy, one of the architects of the border bill, tweeted on Tuesday. He then told reporters, “We followed [Republicans’] instructions to the letter.” Republicans “got what they wanted,” Senator Tina Smith (D-Minn.) said on social media. Senator Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii) would add, with feigned credulity, “Just gobsmacked. I’ve never seen anything like it. [Senate Republicans] literally demanded specific policy, got it, and then killed it.” This line may have sounded clever in whatever West Wing whiteboarding session it emanated from, but the whole gambit rests on a confusing moral narrative: Do Democrats now agree with the Republican party on immigration, ideologically? Their outward messaging appears to accept the premise that this hard-right bill will “fix the border” (whatever this means), so it seems they do. Top Democratic senators are proudly boosting an endorsement of the bill by the Border Patrol union, a far-right union with a history of promoting white nationalism and avidly backing Trump. MSNBC personality Al Sharpton, much to the right-wing media’s gratification, said in an interview with Senator Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) Tuesday that “we’re looking every day at the invasion of migrants”—positively Trumpian rhetoric. This seems like quite a pivot after Democratic party messaging ran in 2020 on criticizing Trump’s border policies and rhetoric as akin to Nazism. If so, do the Democrats now owe the GOP an apology?
