This Is How Your Fear and Outrage Are Being Sold for Profit
One evening in late October 2014, a doctor checked his own pulse and stepped onto a subway car in New York City. He had just returned home from a brief stint volunteering overseas, and was heading to Brooklyn to meet some friends at a bowling alley. He was looking forward to this break — earlier that day he had gone for a run around the city, grabbed coffee on the High Line, and eaten at a local meatball shop. When he woke up the next day exhausted with a slight fever, he called his employer.
Within 24 hours, he would become the most most feared man in New York. His exact path through the city would be scrutinized by hundreds of people, the establishments he visited would be shuttered, and his friends and fiancée would be put into quarantine. Read Original Article Here medium.com
John Robson: Why are there almost no shelters for male victims? And why is asking that question so controversial?
Specifically, this Sunday I’ll be speaking at the opening of the Canadian Association for Equality (CAFE) Ottawa Centre for Men and Families, “Ottawa’s first multi-service hub for the health and well-being of boys, men, fathers and families.†It’s May 28, at Biagio’s Italian Kitchen on Richmond Rd. at 2:00 and I hope you’ll contribute and, if in the area, attend, because surely such a thing is desirable.
I have noted some of these statistics before. But according to CAFE “Nearly one quarter of men in Canada have considered or attempted suicide, and men account for three quarters of all completed suicides … Men are equally likely to report being a victim of spousal violence, yet they are four times less likely to have access to services such as a crisis centre or support group. Shelters for male victims of violence do not exist in Canada.†Read Original Article Here nationalpost.com

CamSoda: How ‘penis recognition technology’ could be the new TouchID
THERE are some inventions you know will change the world and I wholeheartedly believe this company’s “proprietary penis recognition tech†is one such example.

Why This Young Hawk Thinks It’s an Eagle
“Every day I said ‘I wouldn’t count on him being there tomorrow!’ But it’s been six weeks and he’s still adapting,” said David Hancock, an eagle biologist who started the Hancock Wildlife Foundation. Since early June, Hancock has been monitoring a red-tailed hawklet that seems to be, despite all odds, surviving in a nest full of bald eagles.
Hancock and his team have nicknamed the young hawk “Spunky,” “because he’s full of spunk!” says Hancock’s assistant Karen Bills.
Spunky first made headlines after being spotted in an eagle’s nest in British Columbia. The two raptors are bitter rivals in the wild. It’s likely the hawk was dropped into the nest after the eagles preyed upon its parents, but biologists believe the bird’s upturned beak and squawks for food may have triggered the eagles’ parental instincts.

Game of Thrones’ Racism Problem
The tip of the racism-berg is important, and it’s a good place to start. Game of Thrones doesn’t even pass what Manohla Dargis called the “DuVernay test†(modelled on the Bechdel test). The Bechdel test offers a simple way to gauge whether women are represented as full and complete characters; the DuVernay test (named after Selma director Ava DuVernay) does the same for characters from racial minorities.

California Moves One Step Closer to Declaring Independence from US Government
The Yes California movement advocated full-on secession from the rest of the country, and it gained steam after Donald Trump won the presidential election in 2016. However, as the Sacramento Bee noted, that attempt failed to gather the signatures needed and further floundered after it was accused of having ties to Russia.
“On Tuesday afternoon, Atty. Gen. Xavier Becerra’s office released an official title and summary for the initiative, now called the ‘California Autonomy From Federal Government’ initiative.†Read Original Article Here anonews.co
