Bartlett revealed in her 2023 memoir, Middle of the Rainbow, that she and the Boy Meets World alum were in an open relationship for a few years, shortly after they married in 1951. However, while promoting her book, she told Fox News Digital that this type of marriage was “painful” and “didn’t work well.” During a new interview with the Daily Mail, the Twins star, 96, and her husband, 99, gave additional insight into their non-monogamous romance and surviving 75 years of marriage. “It’s funny, the press will pick up on something and make more of it than it was,” …

Barack Obama has moved to shut down the frenzy sparked by his viral “aliens are real” comment, offering both a formal clarification and a pointed reality check during a recent appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Tuesday night. The former US president initially sent social media into overdrive during a rapid-fire podcast segment with Brian Tyler Cohen in February, when he was asked directly: “Are aliens real?” “They’re real, but I haven’t seen them,” Barack replied, a comment that was quickly amplified across global media, fuelling headlines and reigniting long-running conspiracy theories about extraterrestrial life and government cover-ups. © CBS via Getty ImagesStephen asked Barack to clarify his ‘aliens are real’ comment Within hours, the remark had spiralled into a full-blown viral storm, drawing comparisons with previous statements from political figures including Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, both of whom have publicly addressed the possibility of alien life in the past.

EU works to clarify common defense pact without treading on NATO – POLITICO

EU works to clarify common defense pact without treading on NATO – POLITICO

Published by Sam Flores

While Cyprus wants the article to be better defined, countries on the frontline against Russia are worried about the EU pledge clashing with NATO’s Article 5 common defense pact. Seeking to reassure them, Cyprus Foreign Minister Constantinos Kombos told POLITICO on the sidelines of the leaders’ meeting that 42.7 is “not about defense, I agree with that, it’s about mutual assistance.” If a country is attacked, the article does not mandate that other members have to respond with military force. It says they have an “obligation of aid and assistance by all the means in their power.” According to the EU’s diplomatic body, that can take different forms, ranging from diplomatic support to technical or medical assistance as well as civilian or military aid. Kombos said that Cyprus looked at France’s experience after it triggered the article in 2015 in response to terrorist attacks, studying a Council legal opinion and a Commission document on the lessons learned. The Council document says that “when you have an attack in the territory of another state, the other …

New fossil findings help clarify the history of primate evolution

New fossil findings help clarify the history of primate evolution

Published by Jenni Sidey

A few teeth, smaller than a grain of rice, are changing the map of your earliest primate relatives. They come from a creature called Purgatorius, a tiny tree-dwelling mammal that lived about 66 million years ago, right after the dinosaurs vanished. For decades, fossils of this animal turned up only in northern places like Montana and Saskatchewan. That left a big blank space farther south, where some scientists suspected Purgatorius simply was not there. Now, that blank space has a dot. A team led by paleontologist Stephen Chester, an anthropology professor at the CUNY Graduate Center and Brooklyn College, reports the southernmost Purgatorius fossils ever found. They were recovered from Colorado’s Denver Basin, at the Corral Bluffs study area. The work appears as the cover article in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology, with co-authors Jordan Crowell, Tyler Lyson, and David Krause of the Denver Museum of Nature & Science. A lifelike rendering of the archaic primate Purgatorius. (CREDIT: Andrey Atuchin.) The teeth that moved the boundary The new specimens are not skulls or skeletons. They …
