Two people are reportedly arrested after Emmanuel Macron was slapped as he tours France.

A tale of online-sleuthing

YouTube Channel Tokyo Lens featured Japan's Nagoro (or Scarecrow Village) in a video that shows off a nearly deserted village that's home to hundreds of life-sized dolls.

In some small part, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and The Evil Dead owe their reputations and legacies to the conservative U.K. government and alarmist press that tried to ban these and other horror classics, branding them "video nasties."

DOJ argues that Trump’s “she’s not my type” denial of Carroll’s rape allegation was an official presidential statement and should be protected as one.

The Department of Justice announced on Monday that investigators were able to recover most of the ransom paid to hackers who interrupted operations at Colonial Pipeline last month.

Vice President Harris on Monday pleaded with migrants from Central American countries to stay home in a speech in Guatemala during her first foreign trip. Harris has the tricky task of reintroducing the United States as a friend and ally to the region while finding ways to reduce migration, which has often been Central America's only social safety valve amid worsening humanitarian conditions. The vice president was blunt in her message to Central Americans, repeating the line, "Do not come." To soften the blow, she framed the Biden administration's closed-door policy in a message of hope for the region. "I want to emphasize that the goal of our work is to help Guatemalans find hope at home. At the same time I want to be clear to folks in this region who are thinking about making that dangerous trek to the United States Mexico border: Do not come, do not come," Harris said.

A photographer is suing Capcom for copyright infringement, accusing the video game maker of using her photos in games without permission.

Greg Abbott, Governor of Texas, has announced plans to expand the state's blockchain industry.

While Adam Curtis has been making films since 1983, he first gained a kind of international recognition that once might have been termed “cult” with The Century of the Self (2002) and The Power of Nightmares (2004). These films source-coded the psychological and political terrains of the neoliberal landscape, deftly flaying away the already-decaying narratives of the Bush/Blair era. Deploying a voiceover pitched somewhere between Marxian don and MI-5 briefing, the twisting, layered narratives of Century and Nightmares articulated answers that were neither easy nor comforting, but answers all the same. Contemporary society was a managed “dreamworld,” and the stories we told ourselves to live were deep cover for the real forces that controlled our world. Curtis unwound these narratives with sure hands.

Atlas Missile silos are a rare piece of real estate in this world. The silo structure took hundreds of millions dollars to build in the 1960's. This one is unique as the Quonset Hut (original storage building) has been converted into a residence. The property is about 8.7 acres and has a 7' chain link fence with gate. Inside the silo it has most of the steel super structures that many of the other silos do not have. If a family wants to have a place safe from any man made or natural disasters this is the place to be. Only a half days drive from many major cities in the north/east or land your helicopter on the reenforced cement slab. All this on the northern tip of the Adirondacks.

The creatures are set to start their journey to the International Space Station on Thursday.

Photographer Tony Austin recently captured a peculiar image of a crow with its wings covered in dozens of tiny black ants in the throes of what appeared to be a behaviour he described as a "very odd and violent dirt bath."  The image also captured the imagination of hundreds of devotees of a Facebook group called Picture Perfect Vancouver Island after the Metchosin, B.C., photographer posted it on Monday. "I'd never seen anything like this," said Austin. "It was odd but exciting behaviour." Austin was in Victoria's Swan Lake Nature Sanctuary that day, and when a murder of crows landed close to him, he noticed what appeared to be a bird in distress. His photographic instincts kicked in, and he crouched down to capture a close-up — a chance encounter one bird expert says is quite rare.

U.S. regulators on Monday approved Biogen Inc's (BIIB.O) aducanumab as the first treatment to address an underlying cause of Alzheimer's disease despite controversy over mixed clinical trial results for the drug.

Introduction The morale, discipline and battleworthiness of the U.S. Armed Forces are, with a few salient exceptions, lower and worse than at anytime in this century and possibly in the history of the United States. By every conceivable indicator, our army that now remains in Vietnam is in a state approaching collapse, with individual units avoiding or having _refused_ combat, murdering their officers and non commissioned officers, drug-ridden, and dispirited where not near mutinous. Elsewhere than Vietnam, the situation is nearly as serious. (this is the only cool shit boomers ever did)

A blogger's tweet that Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell were gay inspires doubt, shock, and a lot of memes.

Steve Hassan’s controversial crusade to prove that Trumpists are cult members.

Alabama GOP Rep. Mo Brooks was served with a lawsuit filed by California Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell seeking to hold him partially accountable for the January 6 insurrection, according to a tweet from Brooks and an attorney for Swalwell.

Yet one film saw frenzied circulation unlike any other among this niche of macabre bloggers: E. Elias Merhige's Begotten.

There’s a lot of stuff the former president can’t seem to keep straight, but that doesn’t include his pants.
