Election laws: How Georgia compares to other states

ATLANTA — Senate Bill 202 makes substantial changes to elections in Georgia, a state with a long history of denying Black residents the right to vote.

They were live on Facebook when an armed man stormed in and kidnapped them in Haiti

For Haiti, it was a new low. Four people, including a pastor and a well-known pianist, were kidnapped late Thursday night — and it all played out live on social media. The group, members of the Seventh-day Adventist Gospel Kreyòl Ministry Church in Diquini on the outskirts of metropolitan Port-au-Prince, were performing live on Facebook and YouTube in a studio adjacent to their church when a heavily armed man walked up to the stage and abducted them. The incident was confirmed by Dr. Gregory M. Figaro, whose father, Greger Figaro, is the founder of the ministry. “If this can happen, then anyth…Read More

Senior officer says Chauvin used ‘totally unnecessary' force on George Floyd

By Jonathan Allen MINNEAPOLIS (Reuters) – A Minneapolis homicide investigator testified on Friday that Derek Chauvin used “totally unnecessary” deadly force when kneeling on George Floyd's neck during an arrest last May that sparked global protests against police brutality. Chauvin, who is white, was fired by the city's police department the day after he was captured on video on top of a handcuffed Floyd as the 46-year-old Black man was dying. The 45-year-old former officer has pleaded not guilty to murder and manslaughter charges. “Totally unnecessary,” Lieutenant Richard Zimmerman told the j…Read More

Perez Hilton tips Duchess Meghan for presidential run

Perez Hilton has tipped the Duchess of Sussex to run for President of the United States one day. The gossip blogger thinks the former actress – who was known as Meghan Markle before her marriage to Prince Harry – has the “ego” to pursue the US' highest office and would hope the position would help her “make a difference in the world”. He told Closer magazine: “Back in 2016, we all thought, ‘There's no way that Donald Trump would be elected.' But as ludicrous as it sounded on paper, it happened. “So I really wouldn't put it past Meghan Markle running for President. “The main reason I think she …Read More

Microdosing psychedelic drugs associated with increases in conscientiousness and reductions in neuroticism

Microdosing has become something of a wellness trend in recent years, gathering traction in Australia and overseas. The practice involves taking a low dose of a psychedelic drug to enhance performance, or reduce stress and anxiety. While the anecdotal accounts are compelling, significant questions remain around how microdosing works, and how much of the reported benefits are due to pharmacological effects, rather than participants' beliefs and expectations. We've just published a new study following on from two earlier studies on microdosing. Our body of research tells us some benefits of micr…Read More
