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."

I spotted that article about Spain who caved two decades ago after bombs exploded in various train stations in Madrid.
March 11, 2024

The day Spain caved​

By Silvio Canto, Jr.

Twenty years ago, although it feels like a lot more than that, most of us woke to shocking news from Madrid:
On March 11, 2004, 193 people are killed and nearly 2,000 are injured when 10 bombs explode on four trains in three Madrid-area train stations during a busy morning rush hour. The bombs were later found to have been detonated by mobile phones. The attacks, the deadliest against civilians on European soil since the 1988 Lockerbie airplane bombing, were initially suspected to be the work of the Basque separatist militant group ETA. This was soon proved incorrect as evidence mounted against an extreme Islamist militant group loosely tied to, but thought to be working in the name of, al-Qaida.
Investigators believe that all of the blasts were caused by improvised explosive devices that were packed in backpacks and brought aboard the trains. The terrorists seem to have targeted Madrid’s Atocha Station, at or near which seven of the bombs were detonated. The other bombs were detonated aboard trains near the El Poso del Tio Raimundo and Santa Eugenia stations, most likely because of delays in the trains’ journeys on their way to Atocha. Three other bombs did not detonate as planned and were later found intact.
 

Georgia woman's cat found a mile from home after 7 years

Liz Gillespie of Rock Spring, Ga., was reunited with her cat, Kevin Durant, seven years after he went missing from her home.

A Georgia woman's cat was missing for 7 years before being found living with a colony of strays about a mile from home.

Liz Gillespie said her lynx point Siamese mix, named for basketball star Kevin Durant, went missing from her Rock Spring home about 7 years ago.



"I live next door to 30 acres and woods. And so I just kind of assumed that maybe a coyote had gotten him, and I really didn't think he was out there after so long. I kind of didn't have any hope left," Gillespie told WTVC.

Gillespie said she was shocked to receive a call from the Walker County Animal Shelter reporting that Kevin had been found.

Officials told her the feline had been brought in for testing after a confrontation with a local child, and veterinarians discovered he was neutered and microchipped.

She said Kevin had been living with feral cats only about a mile from her home.

The North Georgia Animal Alliance, where Gillespie works as a volunteer, said in a Facebook post that the now-12-year-old cat is being treated for a minor upper respiratory infection, but is otherwise in good health.



The post said the story should serve as a reminder to have pets microchipped and keep the information on file up to date.

"He is currently resting and getting to know his way around the house again," the post said.
 
Here another college to avoid now.

A college in North Carolina recently required student athletes to watch a video that claimed all white people are racist and that people of color could not be racist.

Now, Davidson College alumni are calling on the college to change how it discusses topics like racism with students in the future, The College Fix reported. Not only were student athletes required to watch the film, titled “I’m Not Racist… Am I?” but they were required to do so on a Sunday, outside of normal school hours.

At one point in the film, a clip of which was posted on X by writer Steve McGuire, an Asian student suggests that it’s not just white people who are racist against minorities, but that minorities can be racist against white people. The facilitator then tells her that such acts are “bigotry,” not racism.

“We would also say that it’s only white people that could be racist, that are racist, and that people of color cannot be,” the facilitator goes on to say.

The students in the discussion show little reaction, and another facilitator jumps in to drive the point home.
