Same as mudsharks and coal burners. Even monkeys fuck frogs so it must be a deep instinct.
I don't see the point in mating with darkies but than again neither do I see the point in flinging poo so maybe my chimp levels are lacking.

One in five English people believe COVID is a Jewish conspiracy - survey
Preliminary data shows many Britons believe Jews created the coronavirus. This is a developing story.
One in five English people believe that Jews created COVID-19 to collapse the economy for financial gain, a newly-released study by a team of researchers at the University of Oxford has revealed.
The finding came as part of a wider survey in attitudes toward the virus and the measures taken to prevent its spread, which found that there was a strong undercurrent of mistrust over official advice on the virus within the public.
“Increasingly as the lockdown has gone on the signs of conspiracy beliefs forming has become greater,” study leader Daniel Freeman told The Jerusalem Post. “In the UK there has even been the setting fire of mobile phone masks linked to a particular coronavirus conspiracy belief. We were most interested to see if the conspiracy beliefs led to people disregarding the important public health measures to reduce the epidemic.”
A professor of Clinical Psychology at Oxford, Freeman is also a consultant clinical psychologist at the Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust.
The Oxford Coronavirus Explanations, Attitudes, and Narratives Survey (OCEANS), was published in the journal Psychological Medicine on Friday. It surveyed 2,500 adults who were representative of the English population according to age, gender, region and income, on their attitudes toward the government narrative on coronavirus and related conspiracy theories between May 4 and May 11.
As explained in the paper, the respondents were asked to what extent they agreed with 48 conspiracy statements. Covering topics such as general conspiracy theories about the origin and the spread of the virus and the government’s response, the statements were crafted looking at both mainstream and alternative sites.
Presented with the statement “Jews have created the virus to collapse the economy for financial gain,” 5.3% of the interviewees “agreed a little,” 6.8% “agreed moderately,” 4.6% “agreed a lot,” and 2.4% “agreed completely,” while some 80.8% did not agree with it at all.
Similar figures were recorded for conspiracy theories involving other groups: while 80.1% of respondents did not agree with the statement “Muslims are spreading the virus as an attack on Western values,” 19.9% did to some extent, including 2.4% who agreed completely.
More than a quarter of respondents thought that “celebrities are being paid to say that they have coronavirus,” and that politicians, for example the British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, “have faked having coronavirus.” Nearly half (45.4%) believed to some extent that “coronavirus is a bio-weapon developed by China to destroy the West.”
“The conspiracy beliefs varied hugely in content, often contradicting each other, but if a person believed one idea they were more likely to endorse others,” Freeman highlighted. “If a person blamed Jews, they were also more likely to blame Muslims, Bill Gates and pharmaceutical companies too. What we are observing is most likely a conspiracy mentality: a way of seeing the world that is marked by antipathy to official or mainstream accounts or to those in higher status positions.”
The researchers also found that those who endorse conspiracy theories also reported a lower adherence to the authorities’ guidelines to contain the virus outbreak.
Regarding their demographic features, they tended to be associated with “higher levels of religiosity” and a “slightly more right wing political orientation,” as explained in the paper.
“Coronavirus conspiracy beliefs are more likely to be held in the young, those who feel marginalized, and those at the extremes of political belief,” the professor said. “Coronavirus conspiracy beliefs were also more likely in those who already believed other conspiracy theories such as that climate change is a hoax or that vaccination data are fabricated.”
“Individuals who obtained most of their information about coronavirus from the BBC had lower levels of coronavirus conspiracy thinking. Conspiracy beliefs were more likely in those who obtained their coronavirus information from friends, social media and YouTube,” he added.
The survey comes shortly after NGO Hope Not Hate published a similar survey of their own, conducted between February and April 2020, which found that 13% of Britons believe that Jews have “undue control of banks,” while a substantial 38% said they “couldn’t say for sure” or “didn’t know.”
Moreover, at the beginning of April, the Community Security Trust, an organization that works to ensure the physical protection of British Jews and monitors antisemitic episodes and discourse, produced a report dedicated to “Coronavirus and the plague of antisemitism,” featuring several examples of threats or accusations against Jews related to the pandemic that have appeared online.
“The findings [of our study] are truly concerning. Rates of coronavirus conspiracy beliefs were higher than we anticipated. Only half of the population appear completely unaffected by such ideas. Highly disturbing ideas were endorsed by a significant minority,” Freeman told the Post.
“It looks like a fracture in society is exposed, just as we need a collective response to combat the virus. The coronavirus conspiracy theories appear to have built on long-standing prejudices and distorted ideas. Mistrust appears to have gone mainstream,” the professor added, highlighting that the fact that conspiracy ideas, including those about Jews, were most likely to be held by young people, which is also a worrisome element.
The scientists will conduct further research on the topic.
“We are planning to take this work forward, in particular finding out the best ways to reduce the coronavirus conspiracy beliefs and make accurate information more effective,” Freeman concluded. “That needs to be against a wider backdrop of building up trust again in our important institutions and reducing the sense for too many people that they are in the margins. In this way, when an individual sees a conspiracy theory they may be more likely to step back and evaluate it correctly.”
“Antisemitism is not about to disappear from the world, especially from Europe,” the JNF-UK Chairman Samuel Hayek commented in a statement to the Post. “Antisemitism is deeply rooted in Britain and England. Every situation like the corona pandemic reinforces antisemites in their basic view that Jews are guilty of all the troubles in the world. Therefore, I’m not surprised that with the outbreak, antisemitism is growing.”
“The Jewish community in Britain, and in all Europe, needs to understand that antisemitism will only intensify as a result of the deep demographic change that the continent is undergoing. Therefore, they must realize that the only viable and safe alternative is to immigrate to Israel,” he added.

Hide the silverware: Plastic forks rule as restaurants reopen
Disposable plates and drinking straws are staging a comeback in California and across the country. too.

SAN FRANCISCO — First, reusable grocery bags were lost to the coronavirus.
Silverware and ceramic plates may be the next to go.
As restaurants around California — and the country — reopen for full-service dining, the state says reusable tableware is fine with proper precautions. That’s at odds with the CDC, which says disposable dishes, utensils, napkins and tablecloths should be the default.
California recycling and clean water groups are pushing back on the federal guidance, sending a letter to Gov. Gavin Newsom this month questioning surface transmission of the virus and blaming plastics and petrochemicals manufacturers for "trying to influence CDC guidelines for reopening food establishments in their favor."
"The idea that the CDC recommends that single-use disposable items should be preferred seems a little illogical to me," said Chris Slafter, interim coordinator of Clean Water Action's ReThink Disposable program, which gives grants to restaurants and advises them on how to replace single-use food-service items with reusables. "Someone still has to handle that item before it goes into a customer's hand."
Before the pandemic, California was leading the way on eliminating single-use plastics in various consumer sectors. While environmentalists have long criticized plastic products for polluting oceans and overwhelming landfills, state and local leaders also have sounded the alarm after China in recent years stopped accepting many U.S. plastics for recycling.
But the virus has thwarted efforts to toughen statewide recycling targets. Backers of a ballot initiative to require all packaging to be recyclable, reusable or compostable by 2030 are likely postponing their measure to 2022, while lawmakers with similar goals have shelved their bills.
Meanwhile, plastic use has soared during the pandemic as restaurants have relied on takeout orders to stay afloat and grocery shoppers have reverted to disposable bags over sanitary concerns.
California has long been a leader on reducing plastic use — it was the first in the country to ban single-use plastic bags at large grocery stores — but it hasn’t spread to most other states, with only seven others following suit since then. Environmentalists hope other states will follow California’s lead on how to reopen restaurants and ignore the plastic industry’s lobbying on the federal level for officials to endorse single-use plastics during the pandemic.
“California is a good model,” said Rachael Coccia, plastic pollution manager for the Surfrider Foundation. “It's really going to be something [where] states have the power to make those types of decisions.”
Her organization is trying to get ahead of the issue, because how restaurants act now is likely to be the norm for a while.
Surfrider is reaching out to the 630 restaurants that are part of its network of "ocean friendly restaurants," which pledge to exclusively use reusable foodware for on-site dining and provide utensils for takeout orders only upon request. It's also circulating its own guidelines pointing out that the virus can survive on plastic surfaces.
So far, other states that have reopened restaurants and issued detailed guidelines are instituting rules similar to California’s. Texas is banning restaurants from pre-setting tables with napkins, utensils and glasses and requiring disposable menus and condiment containers, while Oregon is similarly prohibiting pre-setting tables and recommending single-use menus and condiments.
Stanford University epidemiologist Steven Goodman said reusable tableware should be as safe as disposable as long as restaurant staff take proper precautions.
"It doesn't sound like there should be a big difference if they're handled carefully," he said. "Washing the plates well should get rid of [the virus], and so the only difference could be how they're handled between the time when they are on the table and in the sink or in the washing machine."
He noted that there could be a potential difference between hand-washing plates and using a dishwasher if virus particles somehow became aerosolized. “I don’t know the data, if there is any, about the danger to a gloved and masked dishwasher of hand-washing plates that might have coronavirus.”
Troy Paski, founder of Hoppy's Railyard Kitchen and Hopgarden, is planning to open for dine-in service Friday with his normal tableware, but he said he will offer compostable, single-use options on request. The restaurant is spacing its tables to reduce capacity from 300 to 150.
"We already preroll our silverware," said Paski. "We're going to continue using reusable napkins and silverware, regular plates."
California food service unions say they don't have a position on reusable versus single-use items. UNITE HERE Local 2, which represents 14,000 such employees in San Francisco and San Mateo counties, put out guidelines that say "extremely high-touch items" like menus and salt and pepper shakers should be replaced with disposable versions, but don't make reference to dishes and utensils.
The California Restaurant Association is directing its members to the state's guidance but notes that local jurisdictions may decide to go further.
"Many of the current local public health orders (which are a response to the coronavirus pandemic) do put an emphasis on single-use products, and cities have been moving to suspend the ban on plastic bags," said Sharokina Shams, CRA's vice president of public affairs, in an email. "It’s also interesting to note that the number of delivery and takeout orders went up during stay-at-home/shelter-in-place orders. If that becomes a long-term pattern, you may see the demand for single-use products rise."
Environmental advocates are trying to encourage restaurants to stick with reusables — and hoping Newsom won't come out with another executive action reversing his administration's guidance, as he did by waiving the state's plastic bag ban after CalOSHA recommended that stores have customers bag their own groceries if they bring reusable bags.
"To some extent, we were maybe a little nervous that would happen just because we were so blindsided with the plastic bag ordinance," said Nick Lapis, director of advocacy for the group Californians Against Waste, adding: "but no, I'm not expecting anything."

Wedding videographer refuses to provide refund after bride's death, harasses her family
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — The family of a Colorado Springs woman who lost her life in a car crash near Calhan in February is trying to settle her affairs, but her wedding videographer is refusing a refund.
Alexis Wyatt died in a car crash on Highway 24 near Calhan in February. Her fiancé, Justin Montney, reached out to our ABC sister station, KRDO-TV, for help after Copper Stallion Media threatened to sue him for a review he left on TheKnot.com.
Montney said he paid $1,800 to Copper Stallion Media and the company refused to give him a refund after Wyatt passed away.
“They should have been able to do (that) because they didn’t render any services,” Montney said.
He added that the company said they could extend his service to his next wedding, which "was a very a very insensitive thing to tell me."
As Montney’s experience went public, people left negative reviews on Copper Stallion Media’s social media pages.
Copper Stallion Media responded by redirecting it’s entire business website and Yelp page to a new website, JustinMontney.com, attacking Montney and accusing him of trying to “shake us down.”
“He admits the contract was nonrefundable but says we should give the money back due to the circumstance. Life is a b*tch, Justin” the site reads.
The owner then mocked that the website is registered for two years using the non-refundable deposit.
On May 23, the company posted a photo of the couple with the following, "Today would have been the day where we would have filmed Justin and Alexis' wedding. After what Justin pulled with the media stunt to try and shake us down for a refund we hope you sob and cry all day for what would have been your wedding day."
The family has created a GoFundMe to create memorials for Alexis Wyatt.
A former videographer with Copper Stallion Media, Alex Murphy, said no company worth two cents should ever communicate with any client that way.
Murphy worked for Copper Stallion Media as a videographer in 2019, but said he left the company because they refused to pay him. He said he found the job on Craigslist and never spoke to anyone over the phone.
He said it took nearly three months to get his final paycheck but it didn’t come from Copper Stallion Media. Instead, it came from Organized Weddings, LLC and a Las Vegas address.
Murphy said he is still not sure who owns the company.
"Whoever is in charge of Copper Stallion Media is confident enough that they can reset without any damages,” Murphy said.
The address of Organized Weddings, LLC is linked to a man named Jesse J. Clark. He was sued by the Massachusetts Attorney General in 2013 for taking the money of 90 couples and never delivering on their wedding videography.
Calls and messages to Copper Stallion Media made by Denver7 were not returned.

Aquarium releases first footage of newborn beluga whale
I've been to this aquarium and it's pretty awesome. When I was there last year there were baby sea otters who were absolutely adorable. I hope when I go back to Atlanta this baby will be on exhibit. I bet in several months this will show up on the Animal Planet show "The Aquarium" which is about this place.

Spain porn star held after man dies in toad venom ritual
AFP June 3, 2020
Madrid (AFP) - A porn star has been arrested on manslaughter charges following a man's death during a mystic ritual in which he inhaled psychedelic toad venom, Spanish police said Wednesday.
Nacho Vidal was detained last week in the southeastern Valencia region in connection with the death of a man in July 2019.
Media identified the victim as fashion photographer Jose Luis Abad.
"The police operation began following the victim's death during the celebration of a mystic ritual based on the inhalation of venom of the bufo alvarius toad," a police statement said.
The toad, a rare species which is native to the Sonoran Desert, stretching from northern Mexico into California and Arizona, secretes venom containing a very powerful natural psychedelic substance known as 5-MeO-DMT.
Its effects have been compared to ayahuasca, a powerful hallucinogenic concoction from the Amazon consumed as part of a shamanic ritual.
Following an 11-month inquiry, police arrested Vidal, one of his relatives and an employee on suspicion of manslaughter and crimes against public health.
Investigators said they had discovered such rituals were being carried regularly on grounds they offered medicinal benefits.
But in reality, this "apparently harmless ancestral ritual" posed a "serious health risk", luring people who were "easily influenced, vulnerable or who were seeking help for illnesses or addictions using alternative methods".
Local press said the ceremony took place in the country residence of Vidal, a media-savvy porn star in his mid-40s whose Twitter feed is full of ads for his 25-centimetre aromatic candles of the male genitalia, available in black, white or cerise.

My favorite part is how this murder turns into an advertisement for dick candles.

Anyone who reads deep meaning into punctuation is someone I dont need in my life. All my texts and IMs will definitely end with a period now. Or maybe an ellipses? That's like extra violent and hateful...
