Your first kiss isn’t always the tender meeting of lips or cinematic snog you hope it will be. Mine was certainly traumatic. I was 11 or 12 and I kissed one of my female friends, who I had a huge crush on. Clearly I was a horrible kisser, because she then told what felt like the whole school that I was a lesbian (but she wasn’t) and I kissed like a washing machine and tasted like cheese. In my defence, kissing doesn’t come naturally to everyone on the first try (particularly if they’re trying to imitate the more passionate scenes in Titanic) and cheese sandwiches are delicious. I’m definitely not alone with my embarrassing first kiss story. In honour of National Kissing Day, we decided to ask people about their awful first kisses and we were not disappointed. Hannah, 26 Just a massive, slobbery, disgusting mess. Tongue everywhere, he was basically washing my face with it like an overexcited puppy and his breath was awful. He tasted like gravy from the roast … [Read more...] about National Kissing Day: People share their terrible first kiss stories

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused Russia of becoming “a terrorist” state carrying out “daily terrorist acts” and urged Russia’s expulsion from the United Nations, in a virtual address to the UN Security Council on Tuesday. Zelenskyy urged the UN to establish an international tribunal to investigate “the actions of Russian occupiers on Ukrainian soil” and to hold the country accountable. “We need to act urgently to do everything to make Russia stop the killing spree,” Zelenskyy said, warning that otherwise Russia’s “terrorist activity” will spread to other European countries and Asia, singling out the Baltic states, Poland, Moldova and Kazakhstan. “What is punished at the level of specific criminals and criminal organisations must not go unpunished at the level of a state that has become a terrorist,” he said. “Daily terrorist acts. No days off. They work as terrorists every day.” In urging Russia's expulsion, Zelenskyy cited Article 6 of the UN Charter … [Read more...] about Ukraine war: Zelenskyy urges ‘terrorist state’ Russia’s expulsion from United Nations

The family did not leave the area, and the bison continued to charge and gored the man. The man, who is from Colorado Springs, was transported by ambulance to a hospital and treated for an arm injury. Officials did not release information about his condition.

Yellowstone National Park, Wyo. — A bison gored a 25-year-old woman in Yellowstone National Park.
