Sex monster killer moans he’s still behind bars for 1999 murder “because he’s kinky”
A whining sex monster claims he is being kept in prison because of his obsession with bondage. David Ferguson says locking him up in a maximum security jail after he has served his minimum 20-year term amounts to sexual discrimination. He reckons he is being treated more harshly than other lags as he identifies as “Kink” or “K”, a term for people with an interest in sadomasochism. Ferguson, 51, wants parole and could have been up for it last year after two decades inside for handcuffing his ex to a bed and slitting her throat. But he is still behind bars after a series of assessments. In a web rant, the beast moaned: “My sexual identity and orientation is being used against me by the prison service and its psychology department. “This is because I identify as ‘Kink’ under the LGBTQ+ spectrum.” Ferguson added: “The clear inferences in prison psychology reports is that unless I stop being kink my ‘risk’ cannot be lowered. Or, that being ‘kink’ is a controllable … [Read more...] about Sex monster killer moans he’s still behind bars for 1999 murder “because he’s kinky”

United Airlines: ‘No choice’ but to go carbon neutral
Flying is one of the most carbon-intensive ways to get around . About 2-3% of global carbon emissions come from aviation , which means that, if the sector were a country, it would be the sixth-largest source of CO2 in the world. Besides these emissions from burning jet fuel, planes streaking across the sky also release gases and water vapor into the atmosphere that contribute further to global warming. The aviation industry has committed to halving its net CO2 emissions from 2005 levels by 2050. But the technology that could allow people to keep boarding planes without further damaging the planet doesn't exist yet. So making this green future a reality is going to require a huge transformation . On top of that, demand for air travel has been steadily increasing since the early 2000s, and is expected to rebound after the pandemic. The US carrier United Airlines, which received a multibillion dollar bailout earlier in the pandemic, wants to go carbon neutral by 2050. … [Read more...] about United Airlines: ‘No choice’ but to go carbon neutral
