Others pop their pillow cases in the freezer. And more still are spending hundreds of pounds on portable air conditioning units. But there’s one method to help you cool down and sleep during this relentless summer of heatwaves that is so counterintuitive you’ve likely not tried it yet. How about a hot bath before bed? Yes, it may sound mad. Surely an icy shower would be a better way of cooling off before hitting the sack? The answer to that question is a resounding “no”, according to science. Even though it might feel nice at the time, “if the water is too cold, the skin blood vessels constrict, preventing dissipation of heat from the skin and delaying …

Dustin Yellin Has A Hot Take For Viral ‘Subway Takes’ Show

Dustin Yellin Has A Hot Take For Viral ‘Subway Takes’ Show

Published by Jenni Sidey

Dustin Yellin has a hot take: “Religion should be a product of art, not art a product of religion!” Um, sure! The multidisciplinary artist and Pioneer Works founder made the comment in a recent appearance on SubwayTakes, the internet talk show hosted by Kareem Rahma. In the episode, posted to Instagram Tuesday, a befuddled Rahma responds, “100 percent disagree. Don’t even know what the f—k you’re talking about.” Related Articles As is perhaps to be expected from an out-there personality like Yellin, he had quite a bit more to say. Yellin explained that his point was about how humans treat religion as “literal and real,” which in his estimation creates division and killing. He went on to say that he thinks religion should be taught in schools as a beautiful form of narrative art, rather than as a representation of reality. “We are on a rock flying through space and we have no idea what’s f—king going on. We are in deep space, deep time,” he said. “We are just as much aliens as aliens.” Ultimately, …

Hot Peptide Summer Is Almost Here

Hot Peptide Summer Is Almost Here

Published by Jenni Sidey

Hot peptide summer is nigh. In a two day-long marathon hearing that pitted career regulatory representatives against figures of the peptide industry, the Food and Drug Administration voted on July 23 and 24th to recommend the approval of 6 peptides that had been previously banned for human use under the Biden Administration. By the end of the day Friday, the FDA’s panel had recommended the approval of six of the seven peptides up for debate. That list included the buzzy “Wolverine Stack” composed of BPC-157 and TB-500, peptides that have been used by biohackers and other pioneers of the gray market for healing skin, ligaments muscle and bone, as well as KPV, said to treat inflammatory skin conditions, MOTS-c, used to treat metabolic conditions, Emideltide, a sleep assistant, and Semax, a supposed form of migraine relief. Only Epitalon, a peptide that has been employed to alleviate insomnia, was rejected by the panel. These recommendations could open the floodgates for a potential multibillion dollar peptide industry in the US, where peptides are already a buzzword among …

‘Shut the f*** up… enough of that racist s***’: How a detainee’s vile abuse landed three cops in hot water

Published by Sam Flores

A cop who stopped filming when a fellow officer confronted a racist detainee in the back of a police van has been sacked in disgrace. Probationary officer Pc William Byers ‘deliberately’ switched off his body-worn camera out of a ‘misguided sense of loyalty’ when Sgt David Rothwell tackled handcuffed suspect Borwar Ahmed, a Greater Manchester Police misconduct panel ruled. Moments earlier Ahmed had launched a drunken tirade of foul racist abuse at a third officer PC Brendan Colley, who was driving the van. Click here to hear the latest from Manchester’s courts in our newsletter Ahmed, whose hands were covered in blood, repeatedly called Pc Colley a ‘monkey’ amid other racist slurs, while he referred to the other officers as ‘white b****’ and threatened to rape their children and mothers. In the midst of the abuse Sgt Rothwell told PC Colley to stop the van, then got out and climbed into the ‘cage’ alongside Ahmed. “Now you f****** listen here right now fella, you f****** listen here,” he told the detainee. “Shut the f*** up… …

During Friday’s dinner at the Waldorf Astoria in Washington, D.C. — rescheduled following April’s shooting incident that abruptly ended the initial gathering — Trump, 80, made a slew of jokes aimed at journalists including CNN’s Kaitlan Collins before turning his attention to Minaj. The 43-year-old “Anaconda” singer has become one of the president’s most vocal allies in the music industry. Naturally, Trump used her as a punchline in a joke alluding to the gunman who attempted to storm the original April dinner. “After hearing the gunshots, many people yelled, ‘Get down! Get down!’ which caused Nicki Minaj to …

Tom Holland Just Made Unenviable History As The First Star To Throw Up On Hot Ones

Tom Holland Just Made Unenviable History As The First Star To Throw Up On Hot Ones

Published by Sam Flores

Tom Holland on Hot Ones With The Odyssey already racking up a string of accolades just one week on from its release, one of its stars has set a slightly less enviable record. To promote their new movie, Tom Holland and co-star Jon Bernthal paid a visit to Hot Ones, the interview series where celebrities answer questions while challenging themselves to eat the spiciest wings possible. Unfortunately, it seems Tom might have pushed himself a little past his limits. In a post-credits sequence, the Spider-Man actor could be seen spluttering as he posted for a picture with Jon and host Sean Evans, before disappearing under the table to be sick. “You can use that!” he enthused as he came back up for air, before bragging that he got “none of it on my clothes”. “That might be the first on-set [vomit] ever,” Sean then pointed out, to which Tom insisted: “I love being the first!” In Tom’s defence, he made it through the entire Hot Ones challenge, and during a recent appearance on the podcast …

So, if you’re desperate to make it stop, what actually works? Most coughs don’t need to be treated, and though annoying, will go away by themselves. So if you’re tempted by the many lozenges, syrups or medicated hot drinks that promise to ease that dry itchy feeling in your throat, here’s what to keep in mind. First, what’s causing the cough? A cough is a symptom and protective reflex to clear your airways, rather than an illness itself. Many coughs are caused by short-lived viral infections and can be safely managed at home, but others are caused by conditions that need medical assessment or specific treatment. A cough is a …
