The lawsuit, stemming from the October arrest of janitor Lucio Catarino Diaz, was filed on behalf of 13 women who say the janitor urinated in their water bottles on the job in an East Houston office building which resulted in positive tests for the herpes simplex 1 virus, KRIV-TV reported. In a press release, Houston law firm Abraham, Watkins, Nichols, Agosto, Aziz & Stogner alleges that the companies employing the 50-year-old janitor…

Nail lamp dryer for gel nail polish curing manicure pedicure Radiation from nail dryers may damage DNA and cause cancer-causing mutations in human cells, a new study has found — and that might have you wondering whether your regular gel mani-pedi is worth the risk. Some dermatologists say the findings, in a study published January 17 in the journal Nature Communications, aren’t new when it comes to concerns about ultraviolet, or UV, light from any source. In fact, the results reaffirm the reason why some dermatologists have changed the way they get their gel manicures or have stopped getting them altogether. “The findings…
A British teenager who made far-right extremist videos that “influenced” the mass shooter who killed 10 Black people in a Buffalo, New York, supermarket was jailed for 11 and a half years Friday, the UK’s PA Media news agency reported. Daniel Harris, 19, from Derbyshire in northern England, posted videos shared by Payton Gendron, who pleaded guilty to the shooting in Buffalo, as well as videos linked to Anderson Lee Aldrich, the suspect accused of killing five people in a mass shooting at an LGBTQ nightclub in Colorado Springs, Colorado, last November, the court heard, according to PA. Sentencing Harris in court in…
A federal judge in California on Wednesday granted Children’s Health Defense (CHD)-California Chapter’s request for a preliminary injunction to block a California law that would have allowed the state’s medical boards to punish doctors for spreading “COVID-19 misinformation.” In his 30-page opinion, Senior U.S. District Judge William Shubb determined the defendants in the case — California Gov. Gavin Newsom, Attorney General Rob Bonta and California Medical and Osteopathic Boards — provided “no evidence that ‘scientific consensus’ has any established technical meaning,” and that the law provides “no clarity” on the meaning of the word “misinformation.” Judge Shubb also found the “plaintiffs have established a…
The city of Seattle is suing Kia and Hyundai, arguing the company did not take adequate anti-theft measures to prevent its cars from being stolen. “Kia and Hyundai chose to cut corners and cut costs at the expense of their customers and the public,” Seattle City Attorney Ann Davison said in a statement. “As a result, our police force has had to tackle a huge rise in vehicle theft and related problems with already stretched resources. Now Seattle taxpayers must shoulder the burden of the increase in theft. Kia and Hyundai need to take responsibility for the public safety hazard…
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced a legislative proposal Thursday that he says would help crack down on crime in the state strengthening punishment for child rapists, among other things. Speaking from Miami, DeSantis announced that the comprehensive proposal is to “maintain and further improve Florida’s 50-year record low crime rate.” The legislation would limit those eligible for release prior to first appearance and would reform Florida’s death penalty statute to ensure that those “convicted of the most heinous crimes are punished accordingly,” said a press release from his office. Current law requires a unanimous jury recommendation to impose a death sentence.…
Kanye West just can’t quit Balenciaga — even though the brand ditched him over his antisemitism and all the weird pedo stuff, he took his new wife for a shopping spree. Ye and Bianca Censori hit up the upscale Bev Hills clothing store Wednesday night on Rodeo Drive, loading up with several bags filled with merch. Ye appeared to be wearing a t-shirt with a coat of arms of the German Reich. It’s also got the word “Bundeswehr” written above — the name for the federal defense forces in Germany. This coat of arms is a current logo of the…
Forged in magma and capable of producing the sharpest blades on Earth, obsidian is without a doubt one of the most badass materials ever imagined (there’s a reason George RR Martin made it the weapon of choice to kill White Walkers). The jet-black volcanic glass is also extremely delicate and dangerous to work with, and was not mastered by humans until the latter part of the Stone Age… or so we thought. Reporting on the latest findings from the Melka Kunture archaeological site in Ethiopia, a team of researchers has described the discovery of an obsidian handaxe workshop within a layer of sediment dated…
Hyejeong Shin was charged on Jan. 24 with providing a false government document with the intent to verify one’s identity or age; a third-degree crime, according to a statement from the New Brunswick Police Department. “She was going to New Brunswick high school for four days before being found out and barred from entering district property,” “All appropriate authorities were immediately notified and the individual in question was arrested for providing false documentation.” Shin allegedly provided a false birth certificate to the New Brunswick Board of Education with the intent to enroll as a juvenile high-school student, police said. Schools…
As Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy blocked Adam Schiff from sitting on the House Intelligence Committee, Republican Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz introduced legislation Thursday that would call on the House to vote on if Schiff should be banned from accessing and viewing any and all classified information. The Daily Caller first obtained the legislation, which is titled the PENCIL Act after former President Donald Trump’s nickname of Schiff, “Pencil-Neck.” PENCIL stands for “Preventing Extreme Negligence with Classified Information Licenses” Resolution. “Congressman Adam Schiff led the effort for years to weaponize lies from the Clinton campaign and a corrupt Department…
A lawyer for former Vice President Mike Pence discovered about a dozen documents marked as classified at Pence’s Indiana home last week, and he has turned those classified records over to the FBI, multiple sources familiar with the matter told CNN. The FBI and the Justice Department’s National Security Division have launched a review of the documents and how they ended up in Pence’s house in Indiana. The classified documents were discovered at Pence’s new home in Carmel, Indiana, by a lawyer for Pence in the wake of the revelations about classified material discovered in President Joe Biden’s private office and…
Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley reintroduced a bill to ban members of Congress and their spouses from owning and trading stocks, and used the name of his legislation to troll former Speaker Nancy Pelosi. The Preventing Elected Leaders from Owning Securities and Investments (PELOSI) Act would give members and their spouses six months after first assuming office to divest any holdings or put them in a blind trust – mutual funds, exchange-traded funds and Treasury bonds would still be allowed. Any members found in violation of the bill would have to ‘return their profits to American taxpayers.’ Two years after the bill was signed the Government Accountability Office…
Blood clots typically form in the veins of the legs, arms, groin. It is when they break off and travel to other parts of the body, such as the lungs, that they pose a risk. Typically risk factors for blood clotting include surgery, cancer, and pregnancy. The findings from one small study, however, imply that a nutrient found in eggs and meat may also increase the risk of blood clotting. The study conducted by Cleveland Clinic, suggested that choline could make the blood more prone to clotting. Choline is sometimes sold in over-the-counter dietary supplements. It is deemed an essential…
Hamlin attended the Bills-Bengals game Sunday afternoon at Highmark Stadium … his first time back at an NFL game since he went into cardiac arrest on the field in Cincinnati on January 2. Damar, wearing a mask, hoodie, and sunglasses, was shown on television and the stadium scoreboard but between the accessories and bad weather in Buffalo, it was difficult to see Hamlin. Hamlin didn’t speak with the media, and his face wasn’t seen clearly, and when he first came into the stadium in the side -by side atv they purposely blocked the camera for a full clear view of his face. The speculation…
On Saturday afternoon, former FBI agent Charles McGonigal, who was head of counterintelligence in the New York Field Office and a part of the investigation into supposed ties between Trump and Russia, was arrested over his alleged ties to Russia. CBS reports that McGonigal was arrested over “his ties to Oleg Deripaska, a Russian billionaire who has been sanctioned by the United States and criminally charged last year with violating those sanctions.” As Business Insider reports, McGonigal “was involved in the investigation into the Trump campaign’s contacts with Russia during the 2016 election.” Michael Driscoll, the FBI assistant director in charge, said in a statement,…
Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna provided more information about the firearm found after the mass shooting in the Los Angeles area over the weekend that left ten people dead, but the way he described it is making eyes roll. The suspect, now dead, was identified as 72-year-old Huu Can Tran. Luna said law enforcement recovered a “magazine fed semi automatic assault pistol” during their investigation into the massacre. Tran killed himself as police closed in on him. In other words, police found a pistol. A regular handgun, since the vast majority of handguns are semi-automatic that use magazines. Why…
Few of us give much thought to Earth’s swirling, spinning contents until some sudden movement, an earthquake or a volcanic eruption, jolts us to our senses. Geoscientists, though, are a little more clued into the dynamics of Earth’s guts, and have just discovered that Earth’s solid inner iron core – which usually spins within a near-frictionless molten outer envelope – appears to have slowed to a grinding halt. Before anybody panics and searches for a copy of a terrible 20-year-old science fiction movie predicting such an event in hopes of inspiring a solution, it’s not the first time record of such an…
