Whoops.

(Turns out that chastity cage DID have security problems, which the company had swept under the rug until the fake article went viral.)

Hahaha, that's perfect.

Holy shit, the "one guy in an excavator" memes were literally true.

The American Humanist Association has rescinded Richard Dawkins's Humanist of the Year award (which was bestowed in 1996, so, y'know, it probably seemed to make some kind of sense at the time).

Regrettably, Richard Dawkins has over the past several years accumulated a history of making statements that use the guise of scientific discourse to demean marginalized groups, an approach antithetical to humanist values. His latest statement implies that the identities of transgender individuals are fraudulent, while also simultaneously attacking Black identity as one that can be assumed when convenient. His subsequent attempts at clarification are inadequate and convey neither sensitivity nor sincerity.

Consequently, the AHA Board has concluded that Richard Dawkins is no longer deserving of being honored by the AHA, and has voted to withdraw, effective immediately, the 1996 Humanist of the Year award.

The reality TV ordeal of a Russian who joined a Chinese boy band show by accident - and made it to the final despite urging fans to vote him off - has finally ended after nearly three months.

The thing that's even more fucked (or american, depending on how you look at it) is they only added the noose in 1970 as a response to... absolutely nothing and not at all the political climate at the time they totally just did it because of the name and wow why would you even suggest that they wou....

Federal Investigators Search Rudy Giuliani’s Apartment and Office

Executing a search warrant is an extraordinary move for prosecutors to take against a lawyer, let alone a lawyer for a former president. It is a major turning point in the long-running investigation into Mr. Giuliani, who as mayor steered New York through the Sept. 11 attacks and earlier in his career led the same U.S. attorney’s office in Manhattan that is now investigating him.

Looks like things are heating up enough that we can probably look forward to more pictures of his grecian formula dribbles.

Reuters has more about what was in the warrant to seize Giuliani's computers.

tl;dr it's the stuff where he illegally lobbied Ukraine. Including the stuff that got Trump impeached the first time.
