On 11 May 2022, an Israeli sniper fired at the head of the veteran Palestinian journalist Shireen Abu Aqleh as she reported on an Israeli military raid on a refugee settlement in Jenin (part of the Occupied Palestine Territories). The snipers continued to fire at the journalists who were with her, preventing them from aiding her. When she finally arrived at Ibn Sina Hospital, she was pronounced dead. After Abu Aqleh’s death, the Israeli military raided her home in occupied East Jerusalem, where they confiscated Palestinian flags and attempted to prevent mourners from playing Palestinian songs. At her funeral on 13 May, the […]

Above Photo: A new study found landlords in three big cities rejected more than half of tenants who receive affordable housing vouchers. In Philadelphia, most options for voucher recipients are outside of Center City. Jose F Moreno. President Biden promised to expand the Housing Choice Voucher program so that everyone who qualifies for a voucher gets one. What exactly would that change entail, and how long could it be before we see it happen? Once again, the clock is ticking as states scramble to distribute billions in federal emergency rent relief to stress-weary, increasingly panicked tenants and landlords before the national […]
Russian artistic gymnast Daria Spiridonova is eyeing life after her medal-decorated sporting career at the age of 22, revealing her “dream” of running a venue in Moscow for “cool girls who want to be beautiful and successful”. 2015 World Championships gold medalist Spiridonova has been scheming while the sporting schedule has been largely halted this year, and asked her vast fanbase of more than 125,000 followers on Instagram for their thoughts on her vision of a new post-gymnastics venture. She admitted that she had been plotting her moves “besides sports” for “a long time” and had wanted to turn her attention to […]
For 32 years, Glynndana Shevlin worked at the Disneyland Hotel in Anaheim, California, and through 29 of them, her spot was a concierge club called the E-Ticket Lounge. From 2 p.m. to 10:30 at night, Shevlin hosted guests on the 11th floor of a wing known as the Adventure Tower, serving continental breakfasts, chips and salsa, appetizers, and drinks. As a sommelier, she specialized in wine. “I have long-term guests that have been calling me asking me, ‘How’s it going during the pandemic?’” Shevlin said. “My phone’s been off the hook.” The calls picked up on Tuesday, after Disney announced they […]
The Islamic Republic has made major strides in its defence electronics, rocketry, radar and space technology industries in recent years, and demonstrated the extent of its capabilities through the successful launch of a new generation of satellites, and the destruction of a stealthy $220 million US drone which violated its airspace last year. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps have inaugurated a large new National Aerospace Park in Tehran on Sunday, with the permanent exhibition showing off the achievements of the Middle Eastern nation’s defence and aerospace industries. The exhibition, located inside a giant hanger facility, features an array of equipment and […]

Luckily, our animal pals are there to lend a helping hand on occasion. Footage shared on Twitter captures a chimpanzee and his human friend out on a stroll, walking hand-in-hand as the primate leads the way forward. When it is time for them to climb up to the second floor of their tree house, the considerate simian is more than happy to help up his human companion. To top it all off, the smart ape proceeds to fist-bump his pal. What a […]
Amid rumors that Argentine footballer Lionel Messi, whose contract with FC Barcelona expires in 2021, was not planning on re-signing, the illustrious striker has been linked with various possible transfer options. Massimiliano Mirabelli, former sporting director of Inter Milan, has opened up on the football club’s long cherished transfer target – football icon Lionel Messi. The Argentinian superstar and forward with Spanish club Barcelona is becoming a serious possibility, claims Mirabelli in an interview for Radio Sportiva in Italy. Currently, Messi is reported to be increasingly unhappy in the Barcelona team, and speculation has been rife regarding his future, as his […]
Thank you Wild Turkey® for partnering with Half Full on the Bartenders At Home cocktail video series. What inspired you to create this cocktail? “I love adding herbs or floral elements to Old-Fashioneds to give them a lighter and more accessible feel. The Wild Turkey® 101 Bourbon has so much depth and body to it already, so lightening it up just a bit with some rosemary and honey gives this particular Old-Fashioned a summery vibe.” When would you serve this drink? “Even though many people equate Old- Fashioneds with the colder months, I think this is perfect for spring and summer.” […]
Recent Harvard grad Claira Janover posted a video Wednesday saying she lost her job offer from Deloitte as a result of her ‘I’ma stab you if you have the caucasity to say all lives matter’ video went viral this week.

Harvard grad Claira Janover says she’s lost Deloitte job over […]
The Sierra Nevada Corporation has announced its Louisville, Colorado production center has received the Thermal Protection System tiles for Tenacity, the first space-worthy Dream Chaser, and has started bonding them to the vehicle. This is another major milestone Tenacity has reached as she walks down the path to her first launch to the International Space Station — which is right now slated to occur in 2021 with a launch on ULA’s Vulcan rocket. The Thermal Protection System (TPS) tiles are one of the major hardware components used on Dream Chaser and cover nearly the entire craft to protect it from the […]
From ‘I Have a Dream’ To ‘I Can’t Breathe’ By Katu Arkonada, La Jornada.

Huh. The killing of George Floyd by the police has caused an anti-racist and anti-fascist uprising in the United States that resumes the Black Lives Matter struggle begun in 2013 after the death of teenager Trayvon Martin, a struggle that gained strength after Michael Brown was shot by the police in 2014, in Ferguson. As it happens, it is probable that the death of one person may […]
New Delhi (Sputnik): In November 2019, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi withdrew from a China-led 16-nation free trade bloc, the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership, blaming Beijing’s non-compromising attitude on market access. After the withdrawal, India initiated trade talks with the US that are yet to reach a logical conclusion. China’s Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) – a mega free trade agreement involving 15 nations – is likely to face an array of troubles in the post-pandemic world order as businesses may see more value in a diversified supply chain rather than a concentrated one, say analysts. A section of analysts feels […]
Lindsey Graham’s new, Trumpy bouffant. Bill Barr’s little authoritarians’ playbook. Tom Cotton’s status masturbation. They’re all featured on a very not-safe-for-Democracy edition of The New Abnormal, The Daily Beast’s podcast for a world gone off the rails. As Rick puts it, “These guys are jacking themselves off like, well, why can’t we have a spotter on the White House to call in the drone strikes on these hippie fields, the Antifa.” But that’s just the tip of the fuckery. In Episode 14, Molly Jong-Fast and Rick Wilson talk about Cotton’s “over the top” New York Times’ op-ed and how it is […]
One of the peculiarities of online dream analysis, at least for those of us without advanced psychiatry degrees, is its tendency to get specific. On a dream interpreter like Dream-Meaning.net, where users can search imagery for its precise meaning, ambiguity is an afterthought. The image of a diaper, for example, broadly symbolizes “childish or dependent attitudes.” But the entry also breaks down into 14 subgenres, such as “Wearing Diaper” (feeling ashamed about needing help), “Getting and Receiving Diaper” (mommy issues), “Holding a Diaper With Leaks” (problems or conflicts with children), and “Soiled Poopy Diaper” (a “positive sign” that pet projects will […]
