Mel B recalls ‘horrifying’ live TV moment when she was asked to weight herself during first pregnancy

Published by Sam Flores

Mel B has recalled a “horrifying” moment during her first pregnancy when she was asked to weigh herself live on television. Saying such an incident “would never be allowed in this day and age”, Spice Girls singer Mel, 50, spoke to Page Six at an event for Revive Collagen, where she discussed the experience while pregnant with her eldest daughter Phoenix, now 27. At the time, she was 23 and appearing in a live interview during her early years with the Spice Girls – which also includes Victoria Beckham, Geri Halliwell, Emma Bunton and Melanie Chisholm – and rose to global prominence in the late 1990s. Mel said: “I mean, I remember when I was pregnant at 23 that I did an interview, a live interview, and the host was like, ‘Can I weigh you, how much you weigh?’ “That would never be allowed in this day and age, you know?” She added: “I was like, ‘I don’t care… how much I weigh. I’ve got a baby growing inside me.’ “I’m not very precious, but …

Clavicular Rushed to Hospital in Perfect Illustration of Why Looksmaxxing Is a Horrifying Death Cult

Sign up to see the future, today Can’t-miss innovations from the bleeding edge of science and tech Braden “Clavicular” Peters, a so-called “looksmaxxing” influencer who’s gained notoriety for advocating for ill-advised and dangerous attempts to look more attractive, has been hospitalized after suffering a suspected overdose Tuesday evening — a perfect illustration of why the looksmaxxing movement is a death cult that pushes deadly practices on young people by exploiting their insecurity. Several people could be seen carrying the 20-year-old’s limp body into a black vehicle after his livestream was suddenly cut short. Per People, Peters was slurring his words and repeating phrases to himself toward the end of the stream. The controversial influencer shared a selfie on Wednesday morning, showing his face covered with severe cuts, bruises, and dried blood. “Just got home, that was brutal,” he wrote in the caption. “All of the substances are just a cope trying to feel neurotypical while being in public, but obviously that isn’t a real solution.” “The worst part of tonight was my face descending from …

Coronation Street’s Todd Grimshaw learns horrifying truth about Theo

Published by Daniella Wilson

Todd Grimshaw (Gareth Pierce) has been left shaken after realising the truth about Billy Mayhew’s (Daniel Brocklebank) death in Coronation Street. Poor Billy met his end earlier this Corriedale crossover episode with Emmerdale in January, driving a minibus home from Debbie Webster’s (Sue Devaney) wedding and crashing into a number of vehicles.When he attempted to escape, twisted abuser Theo Silverton (James Cartwright) clipped his seatbelt back into the buckle and allowed the vehicle to ignite. Billy was then only one who knew about what Theo had subjected Todd to, and the situation has only worsened over the months that have followed.Theo spent a brief period feeling extremely guilt-ridden by his actions, and even boldly confessed his regrets when stood over Billy’s coffin. Little did he realise, someone was listening from the next room – Carl Webster (Jonathan Howard)! Carl had already allowed Debbie to be sent down for causing death by dangerous driving, with their neighbours conflicted over who to support. Summer Spellman (Harriet Bibby), Billy’s grieving daughter, firmly pinned the blame on Debbie and …

The Trump Administration Is Doing Something Horrifying to Workers at Nuclear Facilities

The Trump Administration Is Doing Something Horrifying to Workers at Nuclear Facilities

Published by José Betancourt

Sign up to see the future, today Can’t-miss innovations from the bleeding edge of science and tech It isn’t just the guys handling plutonium who need to worry about radiation — every US nuclear worker, from the plumbers patching leaks to the janitors mopping floors, has a reason to be on guard. New reporting by High Country News detailed the startling impact the Trump administration is having on the safety of nuclear energy workers. As part of the administration’s “nuclear renaissance,” the US Department of Energy (DOE) has begun stripping back effective safety regulations that had previously limited workers’ exposure to deadly radiation. “They’re pulling away from what’s kept us safe all these years,” Bradley Clawson, a former nuclear energy worker at Idaho National Laboratory, told HCN. “In the long run it helped us as workers. It was keeping us from getting a higher dose.” Following four executive orders aimed at nuclear deregulation, both the DOE and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) have taken an increasingly lax view of safety at both federal nuclear projects …

Iran targets NATO country in horrifying WW3 escalation | World | News

Published by Sam Flores

NATO has shot down a missile after it was fired by Iran into Turkey. It was confirmed by Turkish defence ministry officials that the missile had entered the country’s airspace on Monday before it was struck down by Nato air defences deployed in the eastern Mediterranean. During the Middle East conflict, three earlier interceptions have been carried out by Nato systems, prompting Ankara to protest and warn Tehran. NATO’s spokesperson said the alliance intercepted the Iranian missile heading ​towards its member country Turkey, adding that it was “prepared for such threats and will always do what is necessary to defend all Allies”. The latest strike comes after US president Trump threatened to destroy Iran’s power and desalination plants and oil wells unless a deal is reached ‘immediately’ to open the Strait of Hormuz. He wrote on his Truth Social patforms that the US is in ‘serious discussions’ with a ‘more reasonable regime’ to end the war however unless an agreement is made he will take action. Iran continue to deny that there have been any …

The Head of the FBI Just Admitted Something Moderately Horrifying

The Head of the FBI Just Admitted Something Moderately Horrifying

Published by José Betancourt

Sign up to see the future, today Can’t-miss innovations from the bleeding edge of science and tech Turns out the FBI’s been on a shopping spree. And it’s not just any spending binge: as director Kash Patel made clear at a senate hearing on Wednesday, the agency is buying up location data on everyday American citizens. “We do purchase commercially available information that’s consistent with the constitution and the laws under the Electronic Communications Privacy Act,” Patel admitted under oath, “and it has led to some valuable intelligence for us.” Since 2017, the supreme court has required warrants for any US law enforcement agency that wants to collect cell location data — but only if it’s obtained direct from a subject’s mobile carrier. Commercial data brokers, however, represent a grey-market alternative. By purchasing location history from third-party data companies, the FBI can bypass the warrant requirement altogether. As Politico notes in its reporting on the senate hearing, numerous civil liberty groups have challenged the practice in court, but the loophole is still wide enough to …

YouTube Filling With Horrifying AI Slop for Children

YouTube Filling With Horrifying AI Slop for Children

Published by José Betancourt

Sign up to see the future, today Can’t-miss innovations from the bleeding edge of science and tech In an age when more and more young children are hooked on digital devices, YouTube is bombarding them with AI slop. After investigating over 1,000 YouTube shorts recommended to young children by the video platform, The New York Times found that the algorithm is heavily pushing AI-generated content that explicitly targets “toddlers” and “preschoolers.” On top of being nonsensical, the videos are often presented under the guise of being educational. Two common themes are teaching kids about the alphabet and animals — subject matters, conveniently, that provide threadbare structures for easily produced low-effort slop. Calling the videos educational is a stretch as well. One video highlighted by the NYT shows a gooey liquid being squeezed into a glass of water, before turning into different animals representing each letter of the alphabet — only the animals are bizarre chimeras with mermaid tails. In another set to an off-key rendition of “Old MacDonald Had a Farm,” a massive egg rolls …

Every Single Headphone That Researchers Tested Contained Horrifying Chemicals

Source: Getty Images Eventually, it seems to turn out that every consumer product is killing you — from cooking utensils to menstrual care products, and literally the kitchen sink. Now, one of our most beloved creature comforts is getting its own heel turn. A new analysis by the European Union-funded ToxFree Life for All project took a look at 81 headphone models from producers around the world. The results were pretty grim: every single model tested contained substances considered hazardous to humans, including bisphenols, phthalates, and flame retardants. Not even premium brands like Bose and Sennheiser received a clean bill of health, culminating in what ToxFree calls a “complete market failure.” Most alarmingly, researchers found Bisphenol A — an industrial chemical linked to infertility, obesity, heart disease, and type 2 diabetes — in 177 of the 180 total samples taken from the 81 devices. “These chemicals are not just additives; they may be migrating from the headphones into our body,” Karolína Brabcová, a chemical researcher with ToxFree told the …

People Are Already Creating Ghoulishly Horrifying Sora Disney Videos

People Are Already Creating Ghoulishly Horrifying Sora Disney Videos

Published by José Betancourt

Screenshots from AI-generated videos on Sora On Thursday, Disney announced a landmark partnership with OpenAI to license its iconic characters and properties to be used to generate clips on Sora, OpenAI’s video generating app, starting in 2026. It’s the first major licensing deal between OpenAI and a major Hollywood studio, and will include more than 200 Disney, Marvel, Star Wars, and Pixar characters. But consequential as it is, it’s simply putting the rubber stamp on what is already happening on the app. Since its launch, Sora users have been gleefully churning out absurd and dark short-form clips that spoof Disney’s intellectual property — especially those made by its animation studio Pixar, aping their recognizable aesthetic and often prominently flashing Disney’s and Pixar’s logos. It doesn’t bode well for how fans will end up using the collaboration once it goes online. One of the most popular Sora trends has been to generate Disney-style trailers built on exceedingly dark humor. One video shows a Pixar-ified version of the 2008 holocaust movie “The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas,” …
