A Detroit woman says she was sleeping on a flight home from Las Vegas when a man, identified as a North Carolina pastor, urinated on her.

A homeless Jesus statue recently installed in Cleveland by an Episcopal church has sparked controversy, both online and in real life.

Los Angeles International Airport officials are investigating reports of someone wearing a jet pack in the flight path, the second such report in a little over a month. An air traffic controller overseeing airline approaches warned a commercial pilot who was set up to land that an individual wearing a jet pack had been reported flying at about 6,500 feet. A China Airlines crew member reported seeing what appeared to be someone in a jet pack roughly seven miles northwest of the airport about 1:45 p.m. Wednesday, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. The FAA alerted local law enforcement and is investigating the report.

The president’s personal lawyer gleefully pantomimed a bow while putting on a stereotypical Chinese accent in footage he apparently posted accidentally.

If you have been watching Amy Coney Barrett’s Supreme Court confirmation hearings for insight into how the nation’s highest court will interpret the law once she sits on the bench, you should shut them off now. It is a nominee’s job to obfuscate about her beliefs and intentions, the Republicans’ job to pretend they admire her for her prudence, not her utility to their movement, and the Democrats’ job … well, no one, least of all they, can agree on what their job actually is. The entire charade is insulting to the intelligence of any reasonably well-informed viewer. We won’t get an answer to what Amy Coney Barrett wants, so maybe we can look for an answer to the question of why the Republicans want Amy Coney Barrett... The court these days almost openly engages in horse trading, negotiating not over the finer points of legal interpretation but over what the outcome of its decision will be. Its overt politicking presents a challenge to legal experts whose salaries depend on their ability to interpret the law, in all its glorious complexity, for us plebeians: To explain any legal “doctrine” these days is only to explain the justification that a few partisan individuals use, or plan to use, to rule the way they wish to rule. The media does the legal profession a massive and completely unearned favor by taking its claims about how lawyers and judges decide cases at face value, rather than seeing them for what they are: pretexts for the exercise of power.

Half of the San Diego Police Department officers who wrote more than one ticket for seditious language have also been accused during their careers of violating people’s rights, a Voice of San Diego review has found. A third of those officers have also been involved in fatal or nonfatal shootings.

The premium cable outlet has ordered a 10-episode Dexter limited series that will reunite star Michael C. Hall and original showrunner Clyde Phillips. The show will be a continuation of the original, eight-season series, which ended in 2013 with Hall's Dexter Morgan going on self-imposed exile as a lumberjack and living a solitary life.

A team of physicists in New York has discovered a material that conducts electricity with perfect efficiency at room temperature — a long-sought scientific milestone. The hydrogen, carbon and sulfur compound operates as a superconductor at up to 59 degrees Fahrenheit, the team reported today in Nature. That’s more than 50 degrees hotter than the previous high-temperature superconductivity record set last year. “This is the first time we can really claim that room-temperature superconductivity has been found,” said Ion Errea, a condensed matter theorist at the University of the Basque Country in Spain who was not involved in the work. “It’s clearly a landmark,” said Chris Pickard, a materials scientist at the University of Cambridge. “That’s a chilly room, maybe a British Victorian cottage,” he said of the 59-degree temperature.

One of the final pieces of a Twilight Zone puzzle of sex, news, and politics was finally revealed Monday night, as the Alaska Landmine published a sixty-second voicemail allegedly sent to Mayor Ethan Berkowitz by TV news journalist Maria Athens.  During sixty frenetic seconds, the caller uses several anti-semitic epithets and issues a death threat toward the mayor and his wife. The caller also threatens to publish a story nearly identical to the news teaser posted to Maria Athens' Facebook page Friday afternoon and debunked over the weekend. The Mayor's Office on Friday called the allegations "the product of someone who is hostile and unwell", while Mayor Berkowitz admitted to "an inappropriate relationship" with Ms. Athens on Monday. The audio has been transcribed below.

A sheriff in Michigan is defending some of the men accused of plotting to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, questioning whether the men were planning a “felony arrest” in comments that drew condemnation from the state’s attorney general.

“President Biden is the highly logical choice and vice-president Harris will boldly go where no woman has gone before”

n the doctor’s office I was trying to find out if it was too late for me to bring a child into the world at this point in my life and I guess it technically isn’t via what happened when the cum doctor looked at my cum under the microscope and said it’s perfectly normal cum but I don’t know if this is the type of world or country I can feasibly wrench a soul out of the void and drag them into. Sometimes I feel bad if I invite someone to like a party or a show and they don't end up having a good time so I can’t imagine what it feels like to do that to someone only it’s everything they ever have to do and experience in their entire life however long it might last. Sorry! Hope you had a nice time.

Apologies because I think this may have been posted before, but I couldn’t find it. During his bid for Denton County sheriff in 2016, Republican Tracy Murphree boasted he would beat up any transgender woman who dared to enter a public restroom occupied by his daughter. Now, a transgender woman is aiming to take Murphree's job. In addition to her nearly four years’ experience with the Denton County Jail, Odinsdottir says she served in the Marine Corps in Iraq and Afghanistan. She's worked as a bouncer and teaches martial arts, plus a women’s self-defense class, she said. She also just so happens to be a dominatrix and porn actress. Update: She recently apologized on social media for homophobic and racially insensitive comments she made in the past. Murphree has not apologized for any of his comments as of the date of posting.

he Manhattan District Attorney's Office filed a misdemeanor charge Wednesday against the White woman who called police on a Black man birdwatching in Central Park in May and revealed that she had made a second 911 call about the encounter. Amy Cooper was charged in New York County Criminal Court with falsely reporting an incident in the third degree, according to Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance Jr. The charge stems from a May 25 confrontation in The Ramble, a wooded area of Central Park, between Amy Cooper and Christian Cooper (no relation). Amid a disagreement over her unleashed dog, Amy Cooper called 911 and said in an increasingly frantic tone that a Black man was threatening her, according to video of the incident he filmed. "I'm taking a picture and calling the cops," she is heard saying in the video. "I'm going to tell them there's an African American man threatening my life."

So you know when you’re flopping about at home, minding your own business, drinking from your water bottle in a way that does not possess any intent to subvert the Commonwealth of Australia? It’s a feeling I know all too well, and in which I was vigorously partaking when I got this message in “the group chat”.

A letter from the Nova Scotia government sent out to residents to warn about a pack of wolves on the loose in the province was forged by Canadian military personnel as part of a propaganda training mission that went off the rails. The letter told residents to be wary of wolves that had been reintroduced into the area by the provincial and federal governments and warned the animals were now roaming the Annapolis Valley. The letter, which later became public, sparked concern and questions among residents but was later branded as “fake” by the Nova Scotia government which didn’t know the military was behind the deception.

After they were finished eating at a local restaurant Tuesday, Mark and Patricia McCloskey left the server an autographed photo of themselves pointing guns at protesters outside their Central West End home, a woman eating at a nearby table said. Andrea Spencer said she met a friend for breakfast around 10:00 a.m. Tuesday. She said she had the same server as the McCloskeys.

Barry shifted uncomfortably in his seat. He didn’t know why I’d called him into my office, but he knew it couldn’t be good. I told him we had gotten another report of inappropriate behavior — his sixth this year. “Oh come on, everyone is so sensitive,” he said. “You know, it wasn’t like this 10 years ago.” Barry was in his 60s. Finding another job to fill the years before retirement wouldn’t be easy. “It doesn’t seem like it now, but this may be a good thing for you,” I said. Comforting lies were not the move. Barry buried his face in his hands, sobbing. Then everything went black.
