This week, we're taking a look at goonbait and RegencyCore, and breaking down the infamous video of McDonald's CEO barely eating a hamburger. If you don't know what any of that even is, you're definitely in the right place, so let me break down for ya. Alysa Liu and goonbaitIn Gen Z and Gen A slang, "gooning" refers to extended masturbation without orgasm, sometimes done for the purpose of entering an altered state of consciousness.

Speaking of goonbait, a couple weeks ago, I talked about Olympic gold medal figure skater Alysa Liu as the hero athlete of Generations Z and A. It didn't take much time for some of the weirder members of the younger generations to make it creepy. This is a familiar reaction that too many younge...

How Anyone Can Score Apple’s Educational Discount

We may earn a commission from links on this page. Apple products are notoriously expensive: The latest MacBook Air starts at $1,099, as does the iPhone 17 Pro, and while I love my AirPods Max, I strongly recommend buyers wait until they're on sale to avoid spending $549 on headphones. Apple makes good stuff, but that stuff comes at a cost.Not all of Apple's products are this expensive, mind you. The new iPhone 17e starts at $599. That's not necessarily cheap, but it isn't $1,099, either. Apple's MacBook Neo has drawn a lot of buzz by fetching the same price tag as the 17e, but also because of its education price: $499. For that price, students and educators can buy a brand-new MacBook that does just about anything you'd want an Apple laptop to do. For the rest of us, ...

What’s the longest song title? Ask the Rock ‘n’ Roll Book of World Records – National

Sir Hugh Beaver loved to go hunting, and on Nov. 10, 1951, took a shot at a golden plover and missed. An argument arose within the hunting party: Was the golden plover the fastest game bird in Europe? If it was, Sir Beaver had his excuse. But someone else insisted that the true speed champion was the rest grouse, casting aspersions on Sir Beaver’s statement. That night at the lodge, no amount of research could determine which bird was quicker. This was frustrating.Returning to his position as the managing director of Guinness Breweries, he commissioned Norris and Ross McWhirter to compile a book that would settle all future debates about the fastest, slowest, biggest, smallest, highest, lowest, and all manner of superlatives of all time. Thus was born The Guinness Book of World Records.I’v...

New study suggests Trump`s unproven autism claims influenced emergency care

Last year, US President Donald Trump told pregnant women not to take Tylenol as he promoted unproven ties between the fever reducer and autism and touted an old generic drug as a treatment for the developmental condition. For nearly three months after that, new research found, Tylenol orders for pregnant women showing up in emergency rooms dropped and prescriptions of the generic drug for children rose. This happened despite sharp criticism of the president`s message from doctor groups saying that the drug, leucovorin, shouldn`t be broadly used for autism, and Tylenol is safe during pregnancy. "It just shows that in our country right now, health care has been politicised in a way that political messages are driving and impacting care - and not always for good," said Dr Susan Sirota, a pa...

Thane docs give hope to 94-year-old suffering from repeated heart failure

A 94-year-old patient suffering from repeated heart failure was successfully treated by Thane doctors with a Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) at the hospital. The patient was admitted under Dr Nitin Burkule, consultant – Interventional Cardiologist, at Jupiter Hospital. Due to severe narrowing of the heart valve, the patient had been hospitalised twice within a month with breathlessness, weakness, and extreme fatigue. Just weeks earlier, the patient had been fully independent, walking on his own and managing daily life comfortably. However, repeated heart failure episodes rapidly caused frailty and loss of mobility. Explaining the complexity of the case, Dr Burkule said, “Age was not the biggest challenge. The real concern was frailty. Until recently, the patient was comp...
