As authorities investigating the deadly mass shooting in Buffalo , New York, suggest the suspect was indoctrinated by racist propaganda, the case is renewing discussions on a series of crises in the U.S., including white supremacy, online extremism and structural racism. Author and political scientist Ian Bremmer, who has a new book on world threats, said the attack also shows how the country has neglected what he called the "most dangerous" crisis right now — "the inability to understand and contain disruptive technologies," such as artificial intelligence, cyberattacks, online disinformation, drones and even quantum computing. "These technologies, we're not even starting to address them," Bremmer said Tuesday on "CBS Mornings." "The fact is the United States today is the most politically divided and dysfunctional of the advanced industrial democracies," he said. Saturday's grocery store shooting in a largely Black neighborhood is being investigated as "a hate crime and an … [Read more...] about In wake of Buffalo shooting, Ian Bremmer says U.S. must address extremism and polarization online

It’s Not You, It’s Climate Change
Albatrosses do not fall in love the way humans do. When the birds couple up, it’s almost always for keeps. Their lives start lonely—albatross parents lay only one egg at a time, and may leave their offspring unattended for days—and at just a few months old, each juvenile embarks on an epic solo voyage at sea. They fly for months and months and months, learning what it is to be a bird. “It can be three years before you see them again,” Francesco Ventura, a bird biologist at the University of Lisbon, told me. The adolescent albatrosses return to their colony single and ready to mingle. They touch down, find a group of like-minded individuals, and start to dance. At first, “it’s kind of like being at a club,” Melinda Conners, a bird biologist at Stony Brook University, told me. The young hopefuls are seeking a partner that’s both sexy and in sync with their own moves. Some species will sashay and shimmy and shriek; others are more muted, satisfied to simply bow and nod, and click and … [Read more...] about It’s Not You, It’s Climate Change
Stay in an over-water bungalow for less than the Maldives – from Greece to Egypt
There are thousands of fantastic holiday destinations around the world, but one location has most Brits drooling at the thought of taking a trip there. The Maldives, a stunning collection of islands and atolls in the Indian Ocean, has become a dream for many. With its white sandy beaches and tropical blue waters we’re not surprised so many of us hope to jet off there on honeymoons and blow-out trips abroad. Especially when snaps of gorgeous bungalows that sit above the ocean are spamming our Instagram feeds… But, while the cost of a Maldives holiday makes the beautiful bungalows a once-in-a-lifetime expense there are other stunning destinations that offer a similar over-water vibe. And, some of them cost far less than your average Maldives trip where one night could set you back between £800 and £1600 a night, according to Prince of Travel. Plus, travelling from the airport on Mali to your island could cost you hundreds extra if you require boat or sea plane passage. … [Read more...] about Stay in an over-water bungalow for less than the Maldives – from Greece to Egypt

Trolls always say my bum can’t really be as flat as I say it is – they’re wrong
A WOMAN has taken to TikTok to prove she's got a "pancake" bum, after doubters insisted it couldn't be as flat as she claimed it is. The 23-year-old first drew attention to her bottom when she shared a video on the social media site, writing over the top: "When we’re talking and he tries touching my pancake ass." "My biggest insecurity lmao LEAVE IT ALONE," she captioned the clip. She was quickly inundated with requests for "proof", with one person writing: "Your ass can't really be that small." She then dutifully obliged , turning to the side to show her derriere. "Well, this is what it looks like," she lip synced along to a song as she displayed her flat bottom.

When New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art opens its doors for the annual event, A-listers clamber to be snapped on its famous steps dressed head to toe in show-stopping designer looks.

Mystery of missing mom Crystal Soles who vanished in 2005 may be cracked after Brittanee Drexel update, family hopes
FAMILY members of a mother who vanished without a trace 17 years ago are hoping the breakthrough in the Brittanee Drexel murder investigation will help to finally solve the mystery of her disappearance. Crystal Soles was 28 years old when she disappeared in Andrews, South Carolina, on January 24, 2005, shortly after calling her parents to tell them she was on her way home. No trace of Crystal has been found since, leaving her family with no answers and only an abundance of questions as to what happened to the mom-of-one in the moments after the call - and whether or not she's still alive. "We really want to find closure," Crystal's son Mitchell Soles, 22, who was just five years old when she vanished, told The US Sun. "We won't rest until we find out what happened and why it happened," he added. "And we would like for the person responsible to get what they deserve."
