Something something well actually biologically speaking something.
Seriously, though, I see very little in the way of biological reality here, just the social construct stuff.

Belarus Eurovision song rejected due to political lyrics
Eurovision organizers have rejected a song entry from Belarus due to its lyrics mocking demonstrations against Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko. Critics say the song legitimizes Lukashenko's regime.
Hundreds of thousands of people have watched the video on the Eurovision website
Organizers of the Eurovision Song Contest on Thursday declined a song entry from Belarus due to its controversial political lyrics. The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) demanded Belarus submit a new entry or risk being disqualified from the competition.
"It was concluded that the song puts the political nature of the contest in question," the EBU said in a statement shared on social media. "In addition, recent reactions to the proposed entry risk bringing the reputation of the ESC into disrepute."
The song, titled "I'll teach you," ridicules the ongoing demonstrations against Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko. The song, performed by Belarusian group Galasy ZMesta, has garnered over half a million views on the competition's official YouTube page.
Critics slam entry as pro-Lukashenko propaganda
Critics of the song entry believe it legitimizes Lukashenko's regime. He was accused of rigging the presidential election last year against his opponent Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya. Both the European Union and the United States have not recognized Lukashenko as the country's legitimate president.
"This is a mockery of the people of Belarus, of everything that is happening in the country," singer Angelica Agurbash told Reuters news agency about the song entry. Agurbash previously represented Belarus in the Eurovision competition in 2005.
"Receiving any representative of Lukashenko's bloodthirsty regime would be wrong," Agurbash added.

Belarus: Protesters dance against Lukashenko
Lukashenko has served as the president of Belarus since 1994 and has been criticized by human rights observers for his crackdown on civil liberties and the press. Human rights watchdog Freedom House has characterized Belarus as "not free," describing the country as a "consolidated authoritarian state" where "elections are openly orchestrated and civil liberties are tightly restricted."
Belarus controversy latest after Cyprus song entry
The Belarusian song entry is the latest to stir controversy in this year's contest after Cyprus' entry drew condemnation earlier this month from the country's religious community. The Church of Cyprus believes the country's entry, "El Diablo" (The Devil), promotes satanic worship.
According to the competition's official website, "El Diablo" is about "falling in love with someone as bad as El Diablo." The song is performed by Greek singer Elena Tsagkrinou
A statement from the Holy Synod of the Orthodox Church of Cyprus described the entry as praising the "fatalistic submission of humans to the devil's power." Protesters have gathered in front of Cyprus' state broadcaster to demand the song's withdrawal from the competition.
This year's Eurovision Song Contest will take place in May in the Dutch city of Rotterdam. Guinness World Records has recognized Eurovision as the longest-running annual music TV competition, with the first contest taking place in 1956.

I think Demi Lovato is about to troon out. Long ass article. But she's been working with her "healer" AKA bilker of brain damaged addicts. There's gonna be a big reveal. I'm thinking troon. CDAN had an unrevealed blind that fits this.
https://www.glamour.com/story/demi-lovato-march-cover-shoot
That’s autonomy in all areas, including her sexuality. Lovato is queer—“really queer,” she says—and enjoying fully exploring that side of herself. “I know who I am and what I am, but I’m just waiting until a specific timeline to come out to the world as what I am,” Lovato tells me. “I’m following my healers’ timeline, and I’m using this time to really study and educate myself on my journey and what I’m preparing to do.”
Last fall Lovato cut her hair into a pixie, a symbolic shedding of the heteronormative box she was confined in for years. Her end goal is to completely shave her head.
“When I started getting older, I started realizing how queer I really am,” Lovato says, beaming. “This past year I was engaged to a man, and when it didn’t work, I was like, This is a huge sign. I thought I was going to spend my life with someone. Now that I wasn’t going to, I felt this sense of relief that I could live my truth.”
Like many single 20-somethings, she’s exploring this terrain through casual dating. And in this moment, Lovato says, she feels “too queer” to be with a cis man.
“I hooked up with a girl and was like, ‘I like this a lot more.’ It felt better. It felt right,” she says. “Some of the guys I was hanging out with—when it would come time to be sexual or intimate, I would have this kind of visceral reaction. Like, ‘I just don’t want to put my mouth there.’ It wasn’t even based on the person it was with. I just found myself really appreciating the friendships of those people more than the romance, and I didn’t want the romance from anybody of the opposite sex.”

Sharon Osbourne is being cancelled? Maybe there is a God after all.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...ccused-calling-ex-host-Julie-Chen-wonton.html
CBS has extended The Talk's hiatus for yet another week after Sharon Osbourne was accused of frequently calling former co-hosts Julie Chen a 'wonton' and Sara Gilbert, who is a lesbian, a 'fish eater' - but her publicist hit back saying she's 'hardly surprised by the lies'.
The recent claims against the 68-year-old came from sources who spoke to journalist Yashar Ali in a week where the network announced it had launched a probe into her on-air bust up with co-host Sheryl Underwood.
She has faced criticism since her an televised row with Underwood last Wednesday, after Osbourne was accused of being racist for defending her friend Piers Morgan in the wake of his Meghan Markle comments.
Insiders told DailyMail.com that Osbourne was 'set up to fail' by CBS executives over her defense of Morgan, in a bid to oust her - the highest paid host - from the show.
But several sources, including former co-host Leah Remini, have since alleged that Osbourne has a history bullying and racist language.
The sources say Osbourne repeatedly referred to then-co-host Chen as 'wonton' and 'slanty eyes'.
They also claim Osbourne referred to another then co-host Sara Gilbert, who is a lesbian, as a 'p***y licker' and 'fish eater'.
In response to the claims involving Chen and Gilbert, Osbourne's publicist Howard Bragman said the talk show host was 'disappointed but unfazed and hardly surprised by the lies'.
'The only thing worse than a disgruntled former employee is a disgruntled former talk show host,' he said.
'For 11 years Sharon has been kind, collegial and friendly with her hosts as evidenced by throwing them parties, inviting them to her home in the UK and other gestures of kindness too many to name.
'Sharon is disappointed but unfazed and hardly surprised by the lies, the recasting of history and the bitterness coming out at this moment.
'She will survive this, as she always has and her heart will remain open and good, because she refuses to let others take her down.'
Osbourne has found herself at the center of a race row ever since she defended her longtime friend Morgan during a heated on-air discussion with Underwood last week.
Morgan was ousted by British breakfast TV show Good Morning Britain after saying he didn't believe a word Meghan Markle said during her Oprah special.
It later emerged that the Duchess of Sussex had personally complained to ITV about Morgan's comments.
Osbourne had tweeted in support of Morgan shortly after his departure was announced, saying: 'I am with you. I stand by you. People forget that you're paid for your opinion and that you're just speaking your truth.'
The following day, Osbourne asked producers if she could do a monologue to clear the air after being subjected to a backlash but bosses insisted she take part in a debate with Underwood instead, DailyMail.com insiders have revealed.
The insiders say Osbourne was 'set up to fail' by CBS bigwigs over her defense of Morgan and was forced to take part in the on-air debate.
Osbourne has since said she was 'blindsided' by Underwood and CBS and horrified to be called a racist for her defense of Morgan.
The Talk was initially put on hiatus until Wednesday while executives investigated.
Following the Chen and Gilbert allegations, CBS issued a statement saying it had extended the broadcast suspension until next Tuesday.
'CBS is committed to a diverse, inclusive and respectful workplace across all of our productions. We're also very mindful of the important concerns expressed and discussions taking place regarding events on The Talk,' a statement from the network said.
'This includes a process where all voices are heard, claims are investigated and appropriate action is taken where necessary. The show will extend its production hiatus until next Tuesday as we continue to review these issues.'

Is the Pope Catholic?
I've seen retards, right wingers, and open sedevacantists describe him as somehow not being a legitimate Pope, but fuck that bullshit. Amazingly, the Pope is actually Catholic, and in the view of Catholicism, homosexuality is a sin. Why the fuck would even a semi-commie Pope condone it? It would be abandoning a core principle of the Church.
It would take something like an ex cathedra pronouncement to change Catholic doctrine to this degree, and even Francis isn't going to do that. It doesn't mean the Church hates gay people. It just means that it is still, as it has always been, Catholic doctrine that homosexual behavior is sin.
Francis is not some heretic who rejects core beliefs of the faith. He is just carrying out his duty as the primary representative of his faith on Earth. Why is anyone surprised?
Only crazy people are amazed that yes, the Pope actually is Catholic.

Gene Simmons cannot comparisons. Compares wearing a mask all the time to a surgeon wearing a mask during surgery and picking up a mask to picking up dog poop? WTF? He's senile isn't he? But he's a rich fuck and he could probably buy off Corona-chan if he wanted to. Probably slap a Kiss logo on her and sell her to a super fan.
https://www.blabbermouth.net/news/gene-simmons-why-masks-should-be-mandatory-not-optional/
Gene Simmons has once again blasted people who are defiantly skeptical of mask wearing, saying they are posing a risk to themselves and to all those around them. On Friday (March 19), the KISS bassist/vocalist took to his Twitter to write: "You must stop at a red light, and you must put on your seatbelt, and you can't drive over the speed limit. Your rights stop if you effect others. So why should you have a say in not wearing a mask in public?"
He added in a separate tweet: "Another question for all you geniuses out there. Why is it ALL surgeons, without exception...anywhere in the world, wear masks during surgery!!! Do you think they do that for political reasons, or could it be you are delusional and are hanging out with losers. . What say you?"
A day earlier, Gene revealed that he got the second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. He wrote in a tweet: "Just got our 2nd vaccine shots. Feeling no after effect. Please take the vaccine, to protect others and yourself. And ignore conspiracy lunatics. The Earth is not flat. The Earth is actually round."
This is not the first time Simmons has criticized people who refuse to wear a mask in public spaces to protect others from possible infection. Last December, he told the "Jeremy White Podcast": "Believe what you want, but don't hang out around me. Okay? If you're a denier, stay in the shadows. I don't wanna be around you. 'Cause I don't wanna catch what you've got. It's not about you. It's not whether you believe it or not." He added: "When you sneeze, you put your hand over your mouth. If your dog poops on the ground, you'll pick it up. But you won't pick up a mask?"
That same month, Gene's KISS bandmate Paul Stanley took to his Twitter to write: "Frankly, I've had enough of the self-serving & politically motivated mask misinformation & BS about this pandemic. I don't want to hear about 'my freedom' & 'my rights' that then infringe on so many other's. Those 'rights' & choosing to gather at Thanksgiving got us here. Wake up". Three months earlier, Paul tweeted out a CNN article about an Idaho pastor who was hospitalized with COVID-19 after calling himself a "no-masker" during a service and repeatedly questioning the veracity of coronavirus case reporting. Stanley added in a message: "YOU figure this one out. I can't. A hoax and non-existent virus has put this guy in the ICU. If you're so concerned with a loss of your freedom , Why do you stop at red lights? Don't let the government control you!! Drive right through!!! PUT YOUR MASK ON."
In early July, Stanley shared a photo of him and his eight-year-old daughter Emily wearing masks, and he included the following message: "Sunset at the beach with Emily. WEAR YOUR MASK! Don't listen to conspiracy theorists or graduates of The Internet University Of Medicine. While the credible authorities and experts continue to learn more about Covid 19 they remain in agreement about safety protocols. End of story".
The only Americans who should forego masks are those who have already been fully vaccinated and they should only do so among other vaccinated people, according to guidance how fully vaccinated people can socialize released this week by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and chief medical adviser for the White House's COVID-19 response, recently said even though long-term mask-wearing is a possibility, he expects the U.S. to regain "a significant degree of normality" as we enter the fall and winter.

This is why we shouldn't let gramps use social media.
Paul Stanley has pretty much said the same stuff although with slightly less retardation. Emphasis on slightly.
Being skeptical about masks doesn't mean you don't believe in Covid 19. We're all tired of the masks and started to question their veracity when cases kept surging during tight lockdowns and people walking around in masks and rubber gloves afraid to go near each other.

Man assaults two elderly Asian people and gets his ass kicked...by the grandmother.
SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- A man is under arrest for unprovoked attacks on two elderly Asian victims near Market Street in San Francisco Wednesday, police said.
Police have identified the suspect as 39-year-old Steven Jenkins.
Witnesses told officers that Jenkins was involved in a physical altercation in U.N. Plaza approximately 30 minutes prior to the assaults. Following the altercation at U.N. Plaza, Jenkins approached the 83-year-old male victim and assaulted him, police said.
A security guard nearby pursued Jenkins on foot, and as Jenkins was fleeing, he assaulted the 75-year-old female victim. The guard was able to detain Jenkins until officers arrived. Both victims were taken to the hospital for non-life threatening injuries.

After another attack on an Asian American in San Francisco, the East Bay victim, who was on a lunch break at work in the Financial District, is speaking out. He says the violence needs to stop and he no longer feels safe going to San Francisco.
Jenkins was transported to a local hospital for an unrelated, prior medical condition. Jenkins was later booked at San Francisco County Jail on two charges of assault likely to produce great bodily injury and two charges of elder abuse.
Police are investigating to determine if racial bias was a motivating factor in the incident.
Anyone with information is asked to call the SFPD Tip Line at 1-415-575-4444 or Text a Tip to TIP411 and begin the text message with SFPD.
