Singapore grants world’s first approval to lab-grown meat

Guilt-free meat has moved closer to consumer reality after Singapore became the first country to approve a lab-grown product.

The Singapore Food Agency on Wednesday said the chicken made by US start-up Eat Just met its safety standards for use in nuggets, paving the way for a commercial launch in the Asian city-state. 

Differing from plant-based meat substitutes, which are made from ingredients such as pea or soyabean protein, “in vitro”, “cell-based” or “cultured” meat is produced from animal cells grown in vats. 

Better than bugs I guess. Maybe.

Hungarian MEP for Orban’s anti-LGBT party resigns after being caught by cops with other ‘naked’ EU diplomats when they raided 25-strong male sex party

A Hungarian MEP who co-founded Viktor Orban’s anti-LGBT Fidesz party has resigned after he was caught breaking lockdown to attend a mostly-male orgy in Brussels.

Jozsef Szajer, a founding member of Fidesz, allegedly tried to flee the 25-strong orgy through a window as police busted in on Friday night, attempting to shin down a drainpipe but hurting himself in the process.

Caught by cops he then tried to claim diplomatic immunity before being let off with a warning. Many of the men inside were ‘stripped and naked’ as they tried to flee, according to police – while local media reported that the ‘naked’ party attendees also included EU diplomats, who have not been identified.

‘Woke folk’ strike again? Eyerolls after UK uni students call for banning the word ‘black’ as a negative adjective

Undergraduates at the University of Manchester have suggested that restrictions be placed on the word ‘black’ after a report published by the institution said that some minority students complained about “divisive” language.

The university recently carried out a review of issues specific to Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) staff and faculty. One section of the report, citing feedback from “some black students,” said that there were “linguistic concerns about Black being associated with negative expressions” such as “blackmail” and “black sheep.” The document described the terms as “divisive and not inclusive.”

Made-in Canada antibody not good enough for Canada

Made-in Canada antibody not good enough for Canada

A made-in-Canada antibody for the coronavirus is good enough for COVID-19-ravaged Italy but not good enough for … Canada.

“I regret to inform you …”

So says the letter from the federal government received Nov. 9 by Dr. Sachdev Sidhu, the esteemed University of Toronto biomedical engineer who insists that his lab has invented a synthetic antibody to mitigate — possibly eliminate entirely for the aged and particularly vulnerable — symptoms of a relentless virus that has brought the world to its knees.

British Army spies wage ‘information war’ against anti-vaxx content online – report

With a significant number of Britons skeptical of a Covid vaccine, the army has reportedly deployed an “information warfare” unit to stamp out anti-vaxx propaganda online. Offline, citizens still protest lockdowns in the streets.

The British government is expected to greenlight a coronavirus vaccine and begin its distribution next month. In addition to the logistical challenge of getting millions of doses to the public, the government also faces the hurdle of convincing them to take it. According to a recent poll by the British Academy and the Royal Society, more than a third of people in Britain say they’re either uncertain or very unlikely to take the vaccine.

Pennsylvania Bombshell: Biden 99.4% vs. Trump 0.6% – Stunning testimony that the media has dutifully ignored.

Pennsylvania Bombshell: Biden 99.4% vs. Trump 0.6% – Stunning testimony that the media has dutifully ignored.

There are landslides and then there are landslides. There are lopsided votes and then there are lopsided votes. There are egregious examples of vote manipulation and then there are really egregious examples of vote manipulation. What surfaced during hearings in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, on November 25, 2020 may set the standard for electoral outrageousness. An expert testifying to the Pennsylvania Senate flagged a batch of ballots that recorded some 570,000 votes for Joe Biden and only 3,200 for Donald Trump.

Austria: Playful “asylum seeker” teens make mock execution video – tell police “it’s perfectly normal” in their culture

“…The teenagers said, according to “Today”, that such clips were “perfectly normal” in their culture and that it was a joke. FPÖ chairman Norbert Hofer identified a mockery of the victims of the attack in Vienna and demanded that the people involved and their parents be expelled: “This culture, which the young people talk about, has no place in our country.” Anyone who thinks something like this is funny and “shares such situations as videos in social networks has no place in our society.”
