Youngkin, a Republican elected in 2021, proposed an overhaul to rules that would affect transgender students’ ability to use the bathrooms that correspond with their gender identity and require schools to receive parental approval before using a transgender student’s changed name or pronouns.

Critics of the changes, which are set to go into effect October 27 following a 30-day comment period, accuse Youngkin of targeting an already-vulnerable population to score political points with conservatives....

YouTuber SnazzyAI uploaded a video to their channel Saturday that showcases gameplay footage from Bloodborne upscaled to 4K and 60fps using machine learning and AI video interpolation.

Squizzy, also known as, Hyojin Choi, is an Australian YouTuber known for short animation videos. Although perhaps not as big as other creators like Pokimane and Pewdiepie, Squizzy has accumulated more than a million followers on the Google platform.

Early this year, Squizzy came under fire and apologized for using racist slurs while on stream and drawing NSFW art for an underage YouTuber....

Anna Parsons is a 21-year-old student from New Zealand who arrived in the U.S. just two days before her fall on August 1. She was attempting the Snake Dike climb, a classic Yosemite route that is often a priority for climbers who visit the area according to the Mountain Project guide.

Dr. Mike Ryan, executive director of the WHO’s Health Emergencies Program, made the comments during an online Q&A with the public on Wednesday. He said: “If we don’t find a vaccine and we don’t continue suppressing this virus, and we assume this virus spreads to 60 or 70 percent of the population in the world, that is effectively one in 200 [who have caught the coronavirus] on this planet....

But if you want to get a handle on your splurges, and save money in the process, a dream job has just come up. A company is looking to pay someone a whopping $5,000 to ditch a pricey addiction for a month.

The first major exhibition of the Eameses’ work opened last week in Washington, D.C. (and will move to New York, St. Louis, Los Angeles and Seattle). The exhibit includes one of three 1940 prototype chairs, designed with Eero Saarinen; another of them just sold at auction for a record-breaking $129,000.

Right off the bat, the idiocy of the premise hits you. If our hero can’t remember who he was, his transformation from Ruthless Striver into Good Person is meaningless. There’s something cuckoo about a moral fable that posits vegetableism as the agency of redemption, and something more than a little noxious about a movie that equates brain damage with innocence. The Henry who returns home from the hospital to a wife (Annette Bening) and daughter (Mikki Allen) he can’t remember is like a cross between E....

The psychiatrist urged her parents to keep the episode a secret to avoid any stigma. Brianne’s father, Alan, shudders when he remembers that advice. “Mental illness is a closet problem in this country, and it’s got to come out,” he says....
