People who take the illicit party drug 'speed' are five times more likely to suffer from psychosis at some point in their life, a study suggests. The amphetamine—which is popular in rave culture—was also linked to an increased risk of a host of other mental health conditions, including depression. Researchers looked at medical records and surveys of more than 250,000 people in Taiwan over a 10-year period. People who said they used speed were five times more likely to experience paranoia, voices and hallucinations compared to people who had never tried the drug. Users were also five times more likely to be depressed and three times more

Former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton is the subject of accusations in court documents that her campaign spied on Donald Trump, but supporters in her party are shrugging off the claim ahead of her much-anticipated speech before the New York State Democratic Party Convention on Thursday. Democrats say the bombshell accusations from special counsel John Durham are just more reckless attacks, and they won’t let it spoil daydreams about Mrs. Clinton standing in for President Biden in 2024 if necessary. “I think this is going to be met with an eye roll,” Dora Leland, chairwoman of the Chemung County, New York, Democratic Committee, told The Washington Times. “People are tired,

The films nominated for this year's Best Picture honors played to mostly empty theaters over the weekend, with none of them able to break more than 1 million after the Oscar picks were announces earlier in the week. The Paul Thomas Anderson-directed Licorice Pizza came the closest, grossing $922,500 between screenings at 1,977 theaters, according to The Wrap, its widest release since it opened on November 26. It still lagged far behind a top 10 that included the newly released Death on the Nile and the Jennifer Lopez rom-com Marry Me, as well as the popular Jackass sequel.

The social media intern operating the official Twitter account of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) thought they were witty on Valentine's Day to tweet a snitch campaign to turn in ex-lovers for "illegal gun activity." "Valentine's Day can still be fun even if you broke up. Do you have information about a former (or current) partner involved in illegal gun activity?" the ATF tweeted. "Let us know, and we will make sure it's a Valentine's Day to remember!" the tweet continued.(Snip)The tweet immediately backfired as countless people provided a tip to the ATF of "Robert Hunter Biden," the president's son, who lied

IBM faces an age discrimination lawsuit for forcing out hundreds of older employees, referring to them as 'dinobabies' who should be an 'extinct species' in favor of younger 'digital natives,' according to court documents. A court filing by attorney Shannon Liss-Riordan, who is representing hundreds of former IBM employees for 'age animus from IBM's highest ranks,' claims that unnamed executives were aware of a 'companywide plan to oust older employees in order to make room for younger employees.'(Snip)Another unnamed executive, according to court documents, expressed 'frustration that IBM's proportion of millennial employees is much lower than at a competitor firm.'

Dog owners face £1,000 fines if they take pets for walks near roads or cycle paths with leads longer than three feet. From the end of March, people whose dog leads are too long face on-the-spot fines of £100 or prosecution. The policy from a Devon council does not apply in parks or on beaches. Dog owners should also use a fixed-type lead when they are out strolling. The move is a new extension of a public space protection order (PSPO) introduced by Teignbridge District Council in 2019. This was to 'reduce irresponsible dog ownership and make the area cleaner and greener'.

A startling number of New Yorkers have dropped dead in subway trains and stations this year—and accounts from police and transit workers suggest the bulk of them were homeless people who turned to mass transit for shelter. Six people without IDs have been found dead in the subway so far in 2022, a Daily News analysis of police records show. At least five other people who died in the subways this year—including one from an apparent drug overdose—were not believed to be homeless, cops said. That’s a significant uptick, MTA data show. Two people were found dead on subway trains or platforms between Jan. 1 and mid-February

It's not a "hate crime," but rather behavior that's perfectly normal for his racial group, wherever they may be. As they say, no lives matter until Black lives matter, and despite bending over backward and trashing our own history and culture, we're not there yet.
