It's nowhere near October, but one ensemble is already on track to be named the most controversial Halloween costume of 2015.

Social media users were out in full force on Monday criticizing several Halloween retailers for offering a Caitlyn Jenner costume reminiscent of the former-athlete's Vanity Fair cover earlier this year.

While Jenner's supporters condemned the costume as "transphobic" and "disgusting" on Twitter, Spirit Halloween, a retailer that carries the costume, defended the getup.

"At Spirit Halloween, we create a wide range of costumes that are often based upon celebrities, public figures, heroes and superheroes," said Lisa Barr, senior director of marking at Spirit Halloween. "We feel that Caitlyn Jenner is all of the above and that she should be celebrated. The Caitlyn Jenner costume reflects just that."

Food guidelines change but fail to take cultures into account​

Selected excerpts:

• “There’s different ways you can be racist,” said Esosa Edosomwan, a certified nutrition specialist and behavioral coach in Washington, D.C. “You can be racist by omitting people, by making guidelines that only cater to a specific group.”
• “A white dietitian, she’s probably going to tell you to have some Greek yogurt with a handful of almonds and a serving of protein the size of your fist, when what you really want is egusi soup,” Edosomwan said, referring to the West African dish made from the ground, nutrient-dense egusi seed, vegetables and meat or fish. Food is a big part of culture, and you can’t dismiss where a client comes from, she said. Her clients are encouraged to cook within their culture but to make changes to ingredients when needed to improve nutritional quality.
• “These guidelines are completely incompatible with us achieving our best health,” Edosomwan said of the government guidelines. Statistics bear this out. According to a 2017 JAMA study, nearly half of all U.S. deaths from heart disease, stroke and Type 2 diabetes may be attributed in part to poor diet. These health conditions disproportionately affect people of color. For instance, 11.7% of Black people, 12.5% of Hispanics and 9.2% of non-Hispanic Asians have been diagnosed with diabetes, versus 7.5% of non-Hispanic whites, according to the 2020 National Diabetes Statistics Report.
• For instance, the African diet involves lots of tubers — things like yams and cassava, she said. But some African American diets, especially those traced back to slavery, are based on the “soul food” concept, which comes from the practice of making meals from leftover scraps that slave owners would allow them to eat — foods such as pig intestines, called chitterlings. “Cultural foods and traditions matter,” she said. But part of the challenge is helping people “reimagine these dishes to make them healthier by changing the ingredients and creating new traditions.” Unfortunately, she added, “there’s no plant-based substitute for chitterlings.”

The U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Department of Health and Human Services have once again developed new food guidelines for Americans that urge people to customize a diet of nutrient-dense food. For the first time, they make recommendations for infant nutrition and other stages of life.
But, as in past iterations, they lack seasoning. They do not acknowledge the nuances of culture and ethnicity at the heart of how Americans feed themselves.
Congress requires a revision of these guidelines every five years to ensure they reflect the best available science and respond to the general population’s health needs.
Ethnic variations have been suggested for years, but there is still little guidance given to Americans of different backgrounds on how to eat more healthfully.
“There’s different ways you can be racist,” said Esosa Edosomwan, a certified nutrition specialist and behavioral coach in Washington, D.C. “You can be racist by omitting people, by making guidelines that only cater to a specific group.” Edosomwan — a Nigerian American also known as the Raw Girl — began her nutrition journey while trying to find a diet that would alleviate persistent acne. She found a raw food class and began writing about her food-as-medicine reeducation on her blog, Raw Girl Toxic World.
“I was trying to figure out what I could become that would allow me to treat people with nutrition,” she said. “I saw mostly white women in this field that were celebrity nutritionists.”
“A white dietitian, she’s probably going to tell you to have some Greek yogurt with a handful of almonds and a serving of protein the size of your fist, when what you really want is egusi soup,” Edosomwan said, referring to the West African dish made from the ground, nutrient-dense egusi seed, vegetables and meat or fish. Food is a big part of culture, and you can’t dismiss where a client comes from, she said. Her clients are encouraged to cook within their culture but to make changes to ingredients when needed to improve nutritional quality.
“These guidelines are completely incompatible with us achieving our best health,” Edosomwan said of the government guidelines. Statistics bear this out. According to a 2017 JAMA study, nearly half of all U.S. deaths from heart disease, stroke and Type 2 diabetes may be attributed in part to poor diet. These health conditions disproportionately affect people of color. For instance, 11.7% of Black people, 12.5% of Hispanics and 9.2% of non-Hispanic Asians have been diagnosed with diabetes, versus 7.5% of non-Hispanic whites, according to the 2020 National Diabetes Statistics Report.
The USDA boasts a long history of providing “science-based dietary guidance to the American public” and frequently revising it. It goes back to before World War II. An attempt to correct overeating came with the “Food Pyramid” — first published in 1992. The recommendations have more recently been branded simply as “My Plate,” with an app that can be downloaded to any mobile device. But simplifying the recommendations may make them less relevant.
“Culture is everything,” said Inez Sobczak, certified nutritionist and owner of Fit-Nez in Arlington, Va. Sobczak was born in Miami to Cuban refugees and has been a nutritionist for 15 years, specializing in weight loss, hormone management, and emotional and crisis eating.
While USDA guidelines can’t account for every food culture, Sobczak said, they could be more inclusive. And while she can’t create a new food pyramid overnight — it’s a more complicated process than one would think — she tries to teach people of color how to eat better.
Oldways, a Boston-based organization, has been trying for decades. It first developed a Mediterranean food pyramid in 1993 and has since created charts for African, Latin American and Asian diets, as well as ones for vegetarians and vegans. It also offers classes, such as a six-day Taste of African Heritage program. Kelly Toups, director of nutrition at Oldways, said the organization also participates in sessions with the USDA. But not much has changed.
“It would be great to see more cultural representations more explicitly shown in the guidelines,” she said.
Why has it never happened? Partly because the process is elaborate: A government committee of about 20 scientists and health experts study the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. The survey attempts to discover what people are eating and how healthy they are. The interviews, conducted in English or Spanish, leave out Americans who speak other languages.
Next, the committee conducts “food pattern modeling” by looking at different food groups, the nutrients they provide and how much of each group is needed at each stage of life to establish recommendations.
These recommendations are set by age and gender but do not consider variables such as ethnicity, geographic location or access to healthy foods. “If I had to guess, you’re mostly looking at things that are available in typical grocery stores in the U.S.,” said Sarah Reinhardt, the lead food systems and health analyst in the food and environment program at the Union of Concerned Scientists.
In July the USDA released a whopping 835-page scientific report that formed the basis for the 2020-25 dietary guidelines, released at the end of December.
Wait, there’s more. The federal committee also examines piles of food research. But it cannot evaluate research that isn’t available. Vegetarian and Mediterranean diets have been rigorously examined, but not many studies are looking at West African or Native American diets, for example.
The USDA acknowledges this gap. In the 2020 report, the members highlighted the issue. “Nutrition science would benefit from scientists in the field conducting primary research in more diverse populations with varying age groups and different racial, ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds,” a USDA spokesperson said.
Still, the food industry dominates the discussion, and research it funds guides it. “There isn’t a lot of funding for public research in nutrition. It’s mostly funded by industry. Science isn’t unbiased. It really depends on who is setting the agenda,” Reinhardt said.
One issue is that the African American diet isn’t a monolith. “There are many immigrants in this country who are Black but hail from different cultural backgrounds,” Edosomwam said.
For instance, the African diet involves lots of tubers — things like yams and cassava, she said. But some African American diets, especially those traced back to slavery, are based on the “soul food” concept, which comes from the practice of making meals from leftover scraps that slave owners would allow them to eat — foods such as pig intestines, called chitterlings.
“Cultural foods and traditions matter,” she said. But part of the challenge is helping people “reimagine these dishes to make them healthier by changing the ingredients and creating new traditions.” Unfortunately, she added, “there’s no plant-based substitute for chitterlings.”

Homeless activists occupy downtown Olympia hotel​

In his room on the fourth floor, a man with a curly mohawk named Kristopher Mallotte points out the window towards Capitol Lake at the encampment where he sleeps most nights.

Mallotte has been homeless on and off since he was 13 years-old.

He says Dietz approached him about the idea, and it sounded like it could raise awareness to spur officials to act.

“I imagine this will pose enough of an eyesore for us to say hey, you want us out of here, give us another building to live in,” Mallotte said.

He’s prepared to stay here and support Dietz and the occupation as long as the organizers think is necessary.

“She seems to care,” he said.

Man arrested in late 2020 homicide​

By Matthew Reisen / Journal Staff Writer​

Saturday, February 6th, 2021 at 5:48pm​

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Detectives charged a man in a stabbing that left a man dead late last year outside a gas station in Northeast Albuquerque.
Samson Traub, 21, is charged with an open count of murder in the Dec. 27 death of Carlos Montaño, 46.
According to a criminal complaint filed in Metropolitan Court:
Police responded around 3 a.m. to the Circle K convenience store near Alameda and Interstate 25 after the clerk reported being robbed by a man with a hatchet.
Within 20 minutes, officers responded to the Maverik gas station on Jefferson NE, near I-25, when a clerk reported a man with a hatchet had been attacked by three others.
Police found Montaño bleeding near a gas pump from multiple stab wounds. He died at the scene. Inside his car they found a hatchet along with lighters taken during the Circle K robbery.


Security video from the Maverik gas station showed Montaño pull up to a pump and “divide up items” with people in the white truck. The video showed a fight break out that leads to a red-haired man stabbing Montaño three times.
An anonymous tip led detectives to the owner of the white truck and he identified the red-haired man as his friend Traub. The man told police he, Traub and a woman were outside the Circle K when it was robbed.
The man said the trio then went to Maverik for cigarettes when Montaño — who he identified as the hatchet-wielding robber at Circle K — also showed up. He told police Montaño called them “cop callers” and Traub offered to sell Montaño three bottles of rum.
The man said Montaño dropped one of the bottles and wanted a refund, leading to a confrontation with Traub. He told police he went to warn the clerk and, when he came out, Montaño was bleeding and telling Traub “you killed me” and “you’re going to hell.”
The man said he punched Montaño after he kicked his truck and Traub stabbed Montaño twice more. He told police the three fled as Montaño banged on the doors of the gas station yelling “call 911.”

None of this makes sense, unless it's looked at through the lens of "drunken shitbag comedy".

When you buy something through our retail links, we may earn commission and the retailer may receive certain auditable data for accounting purposes.

SPANX has achieved something few brands ever will. Like Jell-O, Velcro, Kleenex and Band-Aids, the word SPANX has become the generic term for pretty much all shapewear, the compression undergarments women use to create a more svelte silhouette. SPANX and other shapewear commonly appear under wedding dresses, formalwear and evening gowns — though you’d never know it.
The company has tried releasing SPANX for men before without much success; however, the world may finally be ready for men’s shapewear. In early January 2021, SPANX finally reintroduced its line of shapewear for men, which means chubby guys can officially wear SPANX of their very own. Yes, you read that right. SPANX for Men exists — and it couldn’t have come at a better time.

Don’t act like you don’t know SPANX. Your mother can’t go to any formal event without throwing a pair on. Your girlfriend has been obsessed since she was a teen. Your grandmother even wears SPANX compression socks to help her varicose veins. They’ve become a staple among women’s undergarments ever since they reached mainstream popularity.

Now that vaccinations are being given out across the country, the quarantine phase of our lives may soon be over. This means we’re finally looking forward to going outside on the reg again, even if your body isn’t quite ready. That’s why SPANX for Men could be the saving grace for your next big social adventure. If you want to hide all the extra weight you’ve acquired over the course of 2020, SPANX is here for you.
I know you have questions about man SPANX. I certainly did. So keep reading to learn everything you need to know about this new shapewear line for men.

I Tried SPANX for Men, and There’s No Going Back​

Recently, I had the honor of being one of the first guys in the entire world to give SPANX for Men a whirl.
SPANX sent my fat ass an entire care package featuring everything I could possibly need to keep my body tight and sculpted this year. I received SPANX’s new sculpting shirt (three sculpting levels are available for men: ultra sculpt, sculpt and zero sculpt). Additionally, I was sent two pairs of undies (in sculpt and zero sculpt, respectively) as well as a pair of socks, for funsies.
At this point, I’ve worn everything. I’ve gone about the past couple of days trudging along in the New York City snow during my daily depression walks, my bi-weekly one-time exercises and whilst sitting on the couch doing absolutely nothing.
Finally, my guys, the results are in. Here is what I think about SPANX for men. (Minus the socks because they’re just your average pair of socks.) Okay. Let’s go.

1. SPANX Sculpt Seamless Tank​

Starting off strong, the Sculpt Seamless Tank is a dream. Like, if I could marry an undershirt, this would be the undershirt I’d spend the rest of my life with. It was extraordinarily slimming and made me feel way more comfortable when slipping into my favorite shirts. In recent months, I’ve quite literally ditched, like, 75% of my entire wardrobe because even though I still fit in it, I just don’t feel comfortable given the amount of weight I’ve gained. (Editor’s note: Tyler, you’re beautiful just the way you are.) With this tank, I feel like me again. And no one ever has to know I’m wearing it.
With that all being said, I took the tank a step further and wore it under my gym tee. I tend to sweat way much more than the average guy when working out, so I’ll constantly be lifting my shirt to pat my head when on the treadmill. To save everyone inside of Planet Fitness from having to see what’s become my post-modern dad bod, I didn’t have to sneak a shirt lift in order to dab my sweat. Every time I needed to, my SPANX tank stayed in place and had me covered. I also convinced myself that wearing SPANX at the gym helped shape my body to become slimmer, but that’s probably a lie. We love a good placebo effect.

2. SPANX Ultra Sculpt Seamless V-Neck​

Let me start off by saying this: I am not a fan of v-neck tees. I don’t know why, but I just feel that they’ve never looked flattering on me. Never in my life, though, have I considered wearing a v-neck tee as my undershirt until I received my very own Ultra Sculpt Seamless V-Neck. Upon unboxing, I was a little scared at this tee. Like, when SPANX says ultra sculpt, they absolutely mean it. I wasn’t sure I’d be able to breathe, but I threw it on anyway. Yeah, it’s snug-as-hell, but it’s also totally breathable and quite literally the most slimming thing I’ve ever put on my body.

I recently wore this with a long-sleeve button-down shirt tucked into my pants. Because the tee is v-neck, I was able to sneakily wear this while peeping a bit of chest hair and not blowing my own cover. I looked the thinnest I have in months and forgot entirely that I was wearing it after a few hours. A solid 10/10 here; everyone’s gotta own this.

3. SPANX Zero Sculpt Cotton Modal Crew Neck​

SPANX, I love you. It’s hard to deny that at this point. But, I’m not going to lie. The Zero Sculpt Cotton Modal Crew Neck isn’t my favorite. Do I think it can be somebody else’s favorite? Absolutely. This is more of a personal dig, simply because I don’t love that stretchy, spandex-y material on loose-fitted shirts. It’s not you, it’s me.
With that being said, I know that a lot of dudes out there will love this crew neck tee. It’s totally compression-free and works as an excellent undershirt option when you’re just hanging out with friends, running errands or spending the day on the couch. To top it all off, it’s breathable, moisture-wicking and totally anti-odor.

4. SPANX Sculpt Cotton Boxer Brief​

Here’s the tea: I don’t have many current insecurities focusing around my lower half. Thank god, because, like, if I did, I’d probably be breaking down right now. I mentioned this to the folks at SPANX prior to receiving my little care package and they decided to forego the ultra sculpt version of their boxer briefs. Instead, one of the two pairs I received were these Sculpt Cotton Boxer Briefs, and, man, what a difference. They’re mega breathable and keep everything where it needs to be. So breathable, in fact, that you won’t need to fear any unwanted sweat or scents no matter how high-energy your day gets. They aren’t too tight at all, which is comfortable, but they still snatch your body in a little, making them a stellar option to snag from SPANX.

5. SPANX Zero Sculpt Cotton Modal Boxer Brief​

These might potentially be the most comfortable pair of boxer briefs I have ever worn in my entire life. Like, I am really dedicated to SAXX Underwear, don’t get me wrong. But, the Zero Sculpt Cotton Modal Boxer Briefs might honestly give SAXX a run for their money. Don’t hate me, SAXX. I still love you so much.
These compression-free boxer briefs let everything get the air it needs to keep you feeling and smelling fresh day in and day out. Throw them on and forget you’re wearing them. It’s almost like you’re going commando. For real, I don’t know how else to explain these boxer briefs other than saying give SPANX your money. You won’t be disappointed.

Turkish man strikes up 37-year friendship with swan​

EDIRNE, Turkey (AP) — An unusual friendship between a Turkish man and a swan he rescued has endured for decades.
Retired postman Recep Mirzan found Garip, a female swan, 37 years ago in Turkey’s western Edirne province.
Mirzan and a group of friends were taking a shortcut in their car when they noticed the swan, with a broken wing, in an empty field. Mirzan immediately took the swan in to protect her from predators and kept her in the car until that afternoon, when he was able to take the swan to his home.
Since then, Garip has lived on the man’s farm in the Karaagac region, bordering Greece.
Garip follows Mirzan whenever she is out of her pen, accompanying him when he is doing his chores around the farm or for his evening walks.
“Since I love animals, I said to myself that I should take her home instead of leaving her as prey to foxes,” Mirzan told The Associated Press, recounting the day he took Garip in. “We got used to each other. We never separated.”
Mirzan named the swan “Garip,” which translates as “bizarre” but is also used to describe those who are down on their luck.
OTHER TOP STORIES:

• – Mysterious monolith pops up near Turkish World Heritage site
• – Wallet lost in Antarctica in '60s returned to California man
• – Pelican named Arvy survives frostbite, sent to sanctuary

After Garip’s broken wing healed, the swan stayed with Mirzan and also befriended the cats and dogs in the area.
Garip spends most of her time out of her pen and has never tried to run away from Mirzan’s farmstead.
A widower with no children, the 63-year-old Mirzan says Garip has been loyal to him and chose to stay at his side. Mirzan considers the swan his child.
Living with Mirzan has obviously been beneficial for Garip. According to the U.K.-based Swan Sanctuary, the average lifespan for a swan in the wild is 12 years. It says that, in protected environments, they can live up to 30 years.

Badendieck reported from Istanbul.

TLDR; Turkish man is BFF with a swan that he saved close to 40 years ago.

They eventually found their way to her Instagram and started sending angry messages about her gypping them and she was very confused. Turns out she's a midget and and these dudes had paid big bucks to a scammer promising dwarf thottery. There's an ocean of women pulling in a total of $20-60 a month on OnlyFans but empty promises of this lady naked pulled in [unknown amount of men] multiplied by [hundreds of dollars] and that's mildly amusing.

Cops are playing Beatles music to trigger copyright detection and stop livestreaming of themselves.

A Beverly Hills cop has been accused of using music copyright laws in an attempt to stop an activist from livestreaming their interaction on Instagram.

Sennett Devermont claims in social media posts that he had gone to a Beverly Hills police department on Friday to ask a question about Freedom of Information Act request forms.

Yet he alleges that Sgt. Billy Fair began playing music while Devermont filmed the conversation so as to activate copyright filters and have the video muted or taken down.
