Bill Gates had previously been a rarity among his fellow billionaires by opting against owning a megayacht, instead preferring to rent during summer trips around the Mediterranean.
That all changed in 2020 when the retired 68-year-old commissioned the world’s first hydrogen-powered vessel of its kind, splashing out more than £500m on what became known as Project 821.
Gates’s interest in a green yacht was first reported by The Telegraph, when rumours swept the highly secretive industry.
Organizers of a pro-Palestinian protest encampment at the University of Toronto said Wednesday the university is ignoring their demands and instead focusing on the logistics of the demonstration.
Erin Mackey, one of the spokespeople for the protesters, said the group previously had discussions with university administrators about sanitation and other issues related to the encampment.

I think Superintendent Stacy Clarke is a hero for trying to help Black officers
Our gains in this country and every other “white” dominated society have been through civil disobedience, challenging and when necessary, breaking the rules.
I’ve been distracted over the last few days with the current disciplinary hearing for Toronto Police Superintendent Stacy Clarke. Stacy Clarke has the distinction of being the first black woman to attain the rank of superintendent, on the Toronto force and is currently facing a battle to save her job due to allegations of “misconduct.”
Admittedly, Clarke shared interview questions with six Black constables who were eligible for promotion. What’s not in question is the fact she did it. What’s also not in question is the fact what she did was technically wrong.
It was wrong. She proved she is of poor character and should not be a police officer. She should be fired. End of story.

Its main attraction had been that it was a place for boys to do activities geared toward boys alongside other boys.
The Boy Scouts of America announced Tuesday that it will be rolling out a new name: Scouting America. The change was made in the name of making girls feel included. “This will be a simple but very important evolution as we seek to ensure that everyone feels welcome in Scouting,” said the organization’s CEO in announcing the change. “We are an organization for all. It’s time our name reflects that,” he said.
Back in 2019, the Boy Scouts announced that it would accept girls into its programs and would change the name of its flagship program to Scouts BSA to reflect that change. Ever since, the organization has been in total freefall.
The 2024 presidential election took an unusual turn on Wednesday when reports surfaced that independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. once claimed in a deposition over a decade ago that doctors discovered that a parasitic worm had eaten part of his brain before dying inside his skull.
Welcome to Woke of the Weak where I’ll update you about the most woke, progressive, insane, and crazy clips and stories that the left thinks is tolerable and well, point out why exactly they’re nuts.
The left has a toxic tendency to think that it’s the arbiter of truth – that whatever progressives say is not only their truth but gospel truth and should not only be respected but widely accepted and spread throughout the nation. If you ask me, however, the left – well, most of it – is living in fantasyzland and needs nothing more than a reality check.
For more than a century, the Swiss army knife has been an essential piece of kit for everyone from picnickers and equestrians, to golfers and astronauts.
But now the maker of the pocket-knife, with its red or blue shell and multiple tools, has bowed to what an English judge last week called the “plague of knife crime” by designing a new range without blades.
In response to an increasing number of countries imposing bans or restrictions on carrying knives, Victorinox, the Swiss firm that produces the pocket tools, is in the early stages of developing the first range of bladeless products designed specifically for activities where a blade would not be required.

Polyamorous relationships are on the rise in Canada. The law is still catching up
You can have more than one friend at a time. You can love multiple family members equally.
So what’s the difference if you’re in a meaningful, consensual romantic relationship with more than one person at once? That’s the general philosophy behind polyamorous relationships, and a new report says they’re on the rise.
Steph Davidson, 41, a publicist in Toronto, said not only is she seeing more polyamorous people in her circles and on dating apps, but there’s a wider social acceptance and understanding.

A religious studies teacher at a Catholic school has been suspended and reported to the police after saying that Hamas had “committed no crime”.
Ronan Preastuin, a Year 9 tutor, also described the Oct 7 attacks as a “justified act of resistance” and called for “Glory to Hamas”, adding: “The destruction of the racist state of #Isarel [sic] is coming soon.”
Sophie Gregoire Trudeau, Canada’s former unofficial first lady, has the same thoughts as many Canadians right now, telling Newsweek in a new interview that she never thought of her estranged husband, Justin, as “a prime minister.”
