A senior French surgeon faces legal action and a possible disciplinary charge after attempting to sell an X-ray of a concert-goer who was shot during the 2015 attack on the Bataclan music hall in Paris. Orthopedic surgeon Emmanuel Masmejean, who practises at the Georges Pompidou public hospital in southwest Paris, was first reported by the Mediapart website on Saturday to be selling an image of the X-Ray as a digital artwork, without the patient's consent. The picture shows a forearm containing a Kalashnikov bullet and was on sale for around 2,776 dollars (2,446 euros) on the OpenSea website, which specialises in so-called NFT digital images.

It would have been much simpler to not make The King’s Daughter. Sean McNamara’s calamitous new historical fantasy-romance bypassed a great many fair chances to excuse itself from existence, starting with the 14 years of stop-start development prior to his joining the project. Stars, directors, and production companies attached and detached themselves to a circulating script through the ’00s until shooting finally got off the ground in 2014, only for the footage to gather cobwebs for the following eight years. Paramount yanked the title three weeks before its original 2015 release date, sold it to another distributor in 2020 (who brought in Julie Andrews to salvage an impending train wreck with a heavy edit glued back together by her voice-over narration), and then they sold it to a third distributor this past October. Now, perhaps in a bid to piggyback on the SEO bump provided by crowd-pleaser The King’s Man, a movie made so long ago that the two leads who fell in love on set have since formed a family of four, is here at last!

Yesterday was the 49th—and probably last—anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court decision that affirmed abortion is a constitutional right. To mark the occasion, Fox 2 Detroit invited anti-abortion activist Rebecca Kiessling and artist and activist Jex Blackmore to debate each other on a program called “Let It Rip.” At some point during the segment, Blackmore, who was wearing a pin that says “abortion pills,” held up a white pill they said was mifepristone, the first of two drugs in the FDA-approved medication abortion regimen for terminating a pregnancy before 10 weeks (the second drug is misoprostol). Blackmore told host Charlie Langton on air, “I want to show you how easy it is, how safe it is, by taking it myself.” Blackmore popped the pill, took a sip of water, and smiled. A visibly shocked Langton asked if Blackmore is pregnant, and they replied, “I would say that this is going to end a pregnancy...This will be my third abortion.” “Wow, that doesn’t happen often,” Langton replied.

Fight Club is getting an entirely different ending in a new online release in China, where imported films are often altered to show that the law enforcement, on the side of justice, always trumps the villain.

Gavin Newsom’s refusal to let Kennedy’s 77-year-old killer die at home after a half-century behind bars is nothing more than a cynical political stunt.

In rural Sackets Harbor, N.Y., where COVID-19 affected the local volunteer ambulance service's ability to respond to calls, local high school students took the required training and picked up the slack. Correspondent Steve Hartman talked to some of the teenagers who are stepping up to aid their community.

We haven't fully grasped exactly what the power of a TikTok mob, fueled by a For You page, can do.

Then I heard the distinct high-pitched fire control sound, followed by an awful screech resembling a modern-day fax or modem, that signaled lock-on. The last thing I heard was the Taiwanese pilot say, “I’m sorry. Goodbye.” That was the last sound on the tape. No bang. No boom. No sounds of explosion. Just silence.

One of Ulster's most infamous far-right activists has been laid to rest after passing away on New Year's Day with what was reported as "Covid complications."

Prince Andrew's former maid is revealing one of the oddest parts of her job: spending an hour every day arranging his collection of 72 teddy bears. Charlotte Briggs, who worked at Buckingham Palace in the 1990s, told The Sun that she was tasked with the process of meticulously putting the stuffed animals in their place on the royal's bed and around his room.

Former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn's call for "one religion" in the US to win the battle of good versus evil has garnered sharp backlash from a range of critics.

“That’s the goal. When you’re totally turned off, we’ve achieved equity,” he said like a liar who still wants to fuck an M&M.

Yet the study’s lead author, Dr. Claire Steves of King’s College London, noted that the vaccine doesn’t reduce long COVID to zero. So “when large numbers of people are affected, there will still be large numbers who unfortunately have long COVID effects,” she told The Chronicle.

Want another example of this lifestyle-induced myopia? Last year, the New York Times asked the eight New York mayoral candidates how much they thought the median sales price for a home in Brooklyn was. Raymond J McGuire, an investment banker, reckoned “it’s got to be somewhere in the $80,000 to $90,000 range, if not higher”. Shaun Donovan, housing secretary under Barack Obama and housing commissioner under the former New York mayor Michael Bloomberg, guessed it “at around $100,000”. The real answer? $900,000.

Representation matters. We know this to be true. The past few years have seen an unprecedented push to ensure that everything — from movies to books to TV shows to dolls — does a better job representing the diversity of the human race. And now, let us turn our attention to candy.

News organizations both locally and nationally have been covering the rise of cargo theft in L.A.’s northeast train tracks in the past few days. Anchors on morning news have been quick to point out that there have been over 100 arrests, and even Forbes have been quick to point out the staggering $5 million worth of merchandise lifted. L.A. TACO first reported on this last November. Union Pacific, the train company, has gone so far as blasting L.A. District Attorney George Gascon for his policy that has enabled this rampant rise in theft. However, one major development that may be directly correlated with the rise in theft has continuously been left out: In September of 2020, due to pandemic-related budget cuts, Union Pacific laid off an unspecified number of employees across the railroad system. Including members of its railroad-only police force. Despite record profits in the billions in the last quarter of 2021. An anonymous employee came forward to L.A. TACO and says Union Pacific ‘should shoulder some of the responsibility instead of just pointing fingers.’

The capital’s ‘Boris Buses’ may be permanently withdrawn from service because TfL is so short of cash. The ‘New Routemasters’ first ran in 2012 and were intended to have a working life of 14 years. But now the fleet of 1,000 buses needs a refurbishment and poor old TfL simply doesn’t have the money. The famous buses were introduced by the then-mayor of London – now our prime minister – and immediately became known as ‘Boris Buses’, in the same vein as Boris Bikes (clearly Londoners are obsessed with alliteration). They were meant to replace and honour London’s famous Routemasters, which were introduced in the 1950s and were still running well into the twenty-first century. However, the design, by Thomas Heathwerwick (Olympic Cauldron etc), almost immediately ran into problems. The new buses were huge and complex. Their eco-efficiency was questioned after it transpired that they were running their diesel engines far more than their hybrid design originally intended. Passengers complained of their stifling heat and lack of openable windows. They also ran a two-man crew of driver and conductor (since abandoned), so were more labour-intensive than other buses on London’s streets. Finally, there was the price. Each New Routemaster cost an eyewatering £355,000 – roughly twice the amount of a regular double-decker.
