Snapchat is set to roll out a new tool that will allow parents to see who their children are talking to on the app, but some still have questions about the loopholes kids might find in the new controls. Snapchat is a photo and texting app that allows people to send pictures, videos and messages that will disappear quickly, a perk that has been taken advantage of in the past , as the app has been called out, along with several other social media platforms, for a number of illicit drug sales that have occurred. The mother of 14-year-old Alexander Neville, who overdosed from fentanyl that he bought on Snapchat two summers ago, said that purchasing drugs on Snapchat was too easy. "If it was still scary to get drugs, not as many kids would do them," Amy Neville told the Los Angeles Daily News last summer while protesting outside of Snapchat's headquarters in Santa Monica, California. "Right now, it's like ordering food, getting it delivered. It's as simple as that." As part … [Read more...] about Snapchat’s new parental control still has safety concerns

Russia is planning to expand its forces by offering "lucrative" cash bonuses to volunteers once they head to fight in Ukraine, said the British Ministry of Defence. The ministry tweeted an intelligence briefing on Wednesday saying that Russia has "almost certainly" formed new ground forces to fight in Ukraine, identified as 3rd Army Corps (3 AC), based out of Mulino in Nizhny Novgorod Oblast east of Moscow. "Russia likely plans to resource a large proportion of 3 AC from newly formed 'volunteer' battalions, which are being raised across the country, and which group together recruits from the same areas," the ministry added in its briefing. "Russian regional politicians have confirmed that potential 3 AC recruits are being offered lucrative cash bonuses once they deploy to Ukraine." The ministry also added that recruitment is open to men up to 50 years old and with only middle-school education.

This is the gross-out moment a New Zealand bushman killed a giant octopus 'humanely' - by chewing its head off. Survival expert Josh James - aka the Kiwi Bushman - showed off the gruesome technique to his fans by posting the clip from a recent diving trip on his YouTube channel. The footage shows the octopus' tentacles flaying wildly around as New Zealand's answer to Bear Grylls - wearing a camouflage wetsuit - holds it up to the camera before he sinks in his teeth between its eyes. It's not certainly viewing for the feint-hearted. An octopus has eight sucker arms and a soft sac-like body with strong beak-like jaws - but no internal shell. It's not clear whether it would feel any pain from this technique. The Kiwi Bushman advises this is the best way to kill them ( Image: Youtube/Josh James Kiwi Bushman) Before bearded Josh begins he emerges with it out of the water and begins: "Just got an octopus today, these things are really good eating' - but that you … [Read more...] about Disgusting moment New Zealand bushman kills giant octopus ‘humanely’ by CHEWING its head off

A dating app set for release next month geared toward right-leaning singles is being ridiculed online for the perceived racism and extremism of political conservatives. The Right Stuff posted an announcement Wednesday to Twitter that the dating app will offer conservative daters a way to connect, with "no pronouns necessary." The app follows other ventures intended to give conservatives online experiences free of strictures that accompany more mainstream platforms. Like its predecessors, The Right Stuff is getting taunted. "Remember, if you're interested in someone on The White Stuff, just swipe Reich," author and comedian Richard Jeter said in a tweet, referencing the Nazi-led German Third Reich. Ryann McEnany, younger sister of Kayleigh McEnany , the press secretary to former President Donald Trump , offered the first public glimpse of The Right Stuff in a video released Wednesday, promising the app will get conservatives in the "right dating pool with people who … [Read more...] about “Just Swipe Reich”: New conservative dating app mocked as “The White Stuff”

Hosts of the Fox News roundtable show The Five were dismissive of reports that threats have been made against the federal judge in Florida who approved the search warrant that resulted in the FBI raiding former President Donald Trump’s home in Palm Beach. Following the Monday raid, right-wing extremists have threatened the judge in online posts, with some sharing what looks to be his home address, phone numbers, and relatives’ names. Accordingly, the judge’s profile was removed from the court’s website. Commentators on the right like The Five ’s Jesse Watters have also worked to link the judge to Jeffrey Epstein, the convicted sex offender, since the judge was at one point a defense attorney for Epstein’s pilots and a scheduler. When Jessica Tarlov, The Five ’s resident left-of-center co-host, noted the threats against the judge, some of which were antisemetic, the subject was immediately changed to threats against Supreme Court justices. “This judge, by the way — who … [Read more...] about Fox News’ Bizarre Reply to Trump Raid Judge’s Death Threats

New San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins received more than $100,000 in consulting fees from Neighbors for a Better San Francisco, a nonprofit connected to the group that backed the recall of her predecessor, Chesa Boudin, newly filed city records show. The previously undisclosed payments, first reported by the San Francisco Standard , are receiving scrutiny because Jenkins said she was serving the Boudin recall team in a volunteer capacity during the campaign.
