DeSantis cuts tattoos, tanning beds, and tobacco from welfare benefits list
Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) on Monday announced reforms are coming to some welfare benefits, restricting them from being spent on “unnecessary” items.
DeSantis, who is viewed as a possible 2028 presidential contender, said he is working with the Trump administration to amend the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families State Plan, spurring changes to what welfare recipients can spend their Temporary Cash Assistance benefits on. Once implemented, the move would bar funds from being spent on items ranging from vaping products to pornography.
Alarm over $20m plan to supply ICE officers with electric-shock gloves
Plans to supply Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers with special gloves that can deliver electric shocks have alarmed experts and drawn scrutiny amid some high-profile lawsuits over their use in local correctional facilities.
In one extreme case, a 43-year-old man died after allegedly being shocked 40 times by officers with a combination of the gloves and a Taser in a county jail in Kentucky, and the man’s widow is suing authorities.
Earlier this month, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the parent agency of ICE, published plans to spend up to $20m (£15m) to outfit ICE officers by March of next year with the controversial gloves, which are also used in various police departments and some schools.

Multimillionaire Pop Stars Sign Petition Objecting to Lower Energy Bills
According to the Guardian, a bunch of long-past-their-sell-by-date musicians have been mobilised by Brian Eno, who used to prance about in a spandex psychedelic body suit for a living, to protest about climate change. Eno is the founder of a green NGO called EarthPercent, which turns donations from the music industry into grants for green organisations that lobby for the policies that have created Britain’s crises. In a stunt last week, 211 pop stars put their names to a letter drafted by Eno to Prime Minister Andy Burnham and Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, Miatta Fahnbulleh, urging them to reject the proposed development of North Sea oil and gas. But what has it got to do with them?

Not liking long nails is racist!
If you don’t like super-long, fake nails and think about bacteria lurking underneath, it’s because you’re a racist.

‘Unbelievably Terrible‘ Chinese CGI Cow Movie Becomes Most Profitable Film of All Time
Niu Lai, a Chinese animated film centered around a cattle dream sequence made for $200, has reportedly become the most profitable movie of all time after making over $6.7 million at the box office as of Sunday.
Wild story. Chinese mom (in her 60s) and son (30s) duo spend 5 years making 86-minute animated animal film “Niu Lai”.
Budget of $200. Hustle to get theatre distribution. Flops with $1,000 in first week. So bad it’s good. Goes viral.
Now made $4m on $200 and 20,000x return… https://t.co/LKHHkaKtaw pic.twitter.com/b8nOhBY6vU

Zelenskyy repeats Ukraine not behind Nord Stream attack
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reiterated on Sunday that Ukraine was not involved in the 2022 attack on the Nord Stream underwater gas pipelines.
“Ukraine has never officially taken part in any operation related to the blowing up of Nord Stream,” Zelenskyy told reporters on Sunday in response to a question about the ongoing investigation.
He said that Germany was “well aware that Ukraine did not stand behind the execution or the very conception of this operation.”
“Never Officially” what an odd choice of words, especially after two Ukraine nationals have been arested.
