Joe Wicks ‘released anger through fitness’ after father’s battle with heroin addiction: ‘I couldn’t deal with that’
Joe Wicks recalled using exercise as a stress relief while reflecting on his father Gary’s addiction to heroin. The Body Coach star, 36, has been vocal about his dad’s drug battle – which Joe highlights in his upcoming BBC documentary Joe Wicks: Exploring My Childhood – as well as his own mental health struggles. During Monday’s edition of This Morning , the social media personality explained to presenters Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby how his father’s behaviour affected him. ‘He was soothing himself, he was overwhelmed with the feelings he was going through from childhood trauma,’ he said. ‘Going back into my childhood, I can see how exercise was my medication. I was so overwhelmed with what was going on at home, I couldn’t deal with that.’ He continued: ‘So I would just run everywhere, I’d join the gym. I would join football teams and clubs, so I released all that anger, frustration, and energy through fitness. ‘That’s why I visit schools today … [Read more...] about Joe Wicks ‘released anger through fitness’ after father’s battle with heroin addiction: ‘I couldn’t deal with that’
Exeter Chiefs edge nine-try Premier 15s thriller to keep double dream alive
Exeter Chiefs 29 - 26 Bristol Bears Exeter Chiefs took a giant leap in their quest to secure an unprecedented league and cup double after edging a resilient Bristol Bears outfit to secure a home Premier 15s semi-final. Buoyed by a 2,657-strong superhero-themed crowd – a marketing ploy that roped in a record attendance for a women’s club game here – the home side brought their own magic capes for the high-octane encounter and nine-try thriller. In a week when it was announced that the United States would host the 2031 and 2033 World Cups, it was fitting that four of the five tries were crafted through their American players, with Jennine Detiveaux and Kate Zackary crossing twice in a topsy-turvy contest. “I thought we were jittery today,” said Susie Appleby, the Exeter head coach. “Our decision making wasn’t great. But Bristol Bears are a brilliant side and we have to give them absolute respect. I hope we get a good game next Sunday.” Detiveaux opened the scoring after flying … [Read more...] about Exeter Chiefs edge nine-try Premier 15s thriller to keep double dream alive
Want unfettered free speech? Get far-right attacks like the Buffalo shooting
On Saturday 14 May, an 18-year-old man walked into a supermarket in Buffalo and shot 13 people, killing 10 . A few days before carrying out the killings, the shooter published a 180-page manifesto on Google Docs detailing his motives, which were largely racist and antisemitic in nature. Similarly to Brenton Tarrant , who massacred 51 people and injured 40 others at a mosque in Christchurch, New Zealand in 2019, the Buffalo shooter attributed the views which caused him to carry out the killings to 4chan ; an online message board-based forum where users are able to post completely anonymously and with very little in the way of oversight or restrictions. 4chan, along with similar websites like 8chan – another anonymous forum which has also been cited by mass shooters – have a reputation for attracting the absolute human detritus of the internet. Their refusal to provide oversight to their users predictably result in them becoming hotbeds of neo-Nazi rhetoric, … [Read more...] about Want unfettered free speech?

Biden and Trump both face tests in next stretch of primaries: The Note
The TAKE with Rick Klein A new phase of primary season starts this week -- and it won't just be former President Donald Trump whose sway is tested as voting expands into battlegrounds that are likely to make or break a majority. Amid all the attention on vicious Republican primaries and Trump's impact, Democrats are set to make some of their own major decisions. That includes a few choice races where President Joe Biden has chosen to step in, and some others where his brand of politics comes into play. The Senate race in Pennsylvania is a neat encapsulation of the potential directions Democrats could take. The news Sunday that Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, the leading candidate in recent polls, was hospitalized with a stroke puts more attention on the burly, progressive former small-town mayor who has campaigned extensively against the idea of "Joe Manchin Democrats." Fetterman is opposed by a young, gay Black state lawmaker, and a House member and Marine Corps veteran … [Read more...] about Biden and Trump both face tests in next stretch of primaries: The Note
24-year-old woman gets new heart after suffering heart attack at 14
An Indiana women who suffered a heart attack at age 14 is now celebrating a new start in her life after undergoing a heart transplant. Jaelyn Kinchelow, of Avon, Indiana, was running at her middle school track practice nearly a decade ago when she said she felt a tightness in her chest. "All I could remember was myself slowing down because I just couldn't keep up," Kinchelow told " Good Morning America ." "Shortly after that, my legs gave out and I fell to the ground." Kinchelow was transported by ambulance to a local hospital, where she was diagnosed with a heart attack and quickly underwent open-heart surgery. Surgeons repaired a torn coronary artery wall using a vein from Kinchelow's leg, but permanent damage to her heart remained. "After surgery my heart was only functioning at about 5%. They put me on an ECMO machine," Kinchelow said, referring to an extracorporeal membrane oxygenation machine, which removes carbon dioxide from the blood and sends back blood with … [Read more...] about 24-year-old woman gets new heart after suffering heart attack at 14
