    Reselling gig work is TikTok’s newest side hustle
    https://www.theverge.com/22905356/gig-work-drop-shipping-fiverr-tiktok
    A eenager on TikTok with 156,000 followers wants to help you change your life, starting with making real money. In his videos, he talks about how he went from being broke and working at Starbucks, to moving into a high rise in Miami and planning to retire by 30. “All right bro… be straight up with me. How do you make so much money at 19?” he asks himself in one TikTok. The answer, he explains, is by getting in on a business known as “drop servicing.” Search for drop servicing on TikTok, and you’ll find dozens of videos like this, with creators — mostly young men — touting their business savvy and letting you in on their secret. The promises are familiar: “$10,000+ per week by doing nothing,” reads one. “Age 13-45 Wanna Make CRAZY Money Online?” asks another. Or, “Side hustles that will make you RICH (Minimal Work Involved).” The comments are filled with curious viewers wanting to know more, indignant observers, and, of course, other success stories: “Guys it actually does work I’m 14 and I made 3k from this.” Drop servicing is yet another side hustle with promises of grandeur getting attention on social media platforms. It takes its name from the more commonly known practice of drop shipping. In drop shipping, a retailer sells physical goods online without maintaining any stock themselves, instead ordering directly from a manufacturer who ships the products to the buyer. The middleman then pockets the markup. Drop shipping is often seen as shady or misleading by consumers, who don’t know where the product is coming from.

    “We Joke About it, But I Get Very Anxious When Guys Get Hurt”: Set Medic Eloy Lara on Jackass Forever
    https://filmmakermagazine.com/113298-interview-set-medic-eloy-lara-jackass-forever/
    By the time of the new Jackass Forever, some of the series’s performers have neared or surpassed age 50. Their bodies remain sturdy, if marked by 20 years of unnatural trials. To extend their infamous game of indecent brinkmanship, the crew has endured a brand-new omnibus of freak obstacles and some reimaginings of past favorites. Beekeepers use a queen bee to attract a hive to Steve-O’s (47) phallus; Danger Ehren (45) sustains countless blows to the groin in an exhaustive series of “Cup tests”; Johnny Knoxville (50) re-contends with a particularly mean bull in a ring; series newcomers (“Poopies,” “Jasper,” and “Zachattack”) body slide down a ramp slicked with KY Jelly into unbudging rocks. But the aging stuntmen could at least rest assured that set medic Eloy Lara was there for them in case worse turned to worst. Faced with potential injuries day to day, Lara had his work cut out for him. He prepared intensely, but found the Jackass family to be resilient as ever.

    QAnon follower, 45, who 'murdered his newlywed wife, 29, because he thought she was a sex-trafficking CIA asset and Joe Biden's son who'd had a sex change,' pleads not guilty by reason of insanity
    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10503641/QAnon-follower-45-murdered-wife-29-thought-sex-trafficking-CIA-asset.html
    Burke reportedly told police that he was getting messages on his tablet from QAnon adherents claiming that his wife was a CIA asset who was involved in a sex-trafficking ring, and that he had to kill her. 'He also said that Joe Biden had twins, a daughter and a son, and that the son had a sex change and that’s who his wife was,' Kushion said.

    Major breakthrough on nuclear fusion energy
    https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-60312633
    The UK-based JET laboratory has smashed its own world record for the amount of energy it can extract by squeezing together two forms of hydrogen. If nuclear fusion can be successfully recreated on Earth it holds out the potential of virtually unlimited supplies of low-carbon, low-radiation energy. The experiments produced 59 megajoules of energy over five seconds (11 megawatts of power). This is more than double what was achieved in similar tests back in 1997. It's not a massive energy output - only enough to boil about 60 kettles' worth of water. But the significance is that it validates design choices that have been made for an even bigger fusion reactor now being constructed in France. "The JET experiments put us a step closer to fusion power," said Dr Joe Milnes, the head of operations at the reactor lab. "We've demonstrated that we can create a mini star inside of our machine and hold it there for five seconds and get high performance, which really takes us into a new realm."

    Biden releases $7bn in frozen Afghan funds to split between 9/11 families and aid
    https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/feb/11/biden-7bn-frozen-afghan-reserves-taliban
    Joe Biden signed an executive order Friday releasing $7bn in frozen Afghan reserves to be split between humanitarian efforts for the Afghan people and American victims of terrorism, including relatives of 9/11. In a highly unusual move, the convoluted plan is designed to tackle a myriad of legal bottlenecks stemming from the 2001 terrorist attacks and the chaotic end of the 20-year war in Afghanistan, which ignited a humanitarian and political crisis, the New York times reports. The elected Afghan government was dissolved in August after the Taliban seized control, leaving behind just over $7bn in central bank assets deposited in the US Federal Reserve bank in New York. As Afghanistan’s top elected officials, including the president and central bank governor, fled the country, the Fed froze the account as it was unclear who was legally authorised to access the funds. The Taliban took over the central bank – known as Da Afghanistan Bank – and immediately claimed a right to the money, but under longstanding counter-terrorism sanctions it is illegal to engage in financial transactions with the organisation. Furthermore, the US does not recognize the Taliban as the legitimate government of Afghanistan.
