Amsterdam Lets You Buy Drugs—But Bans Burger Ads

Amsterdam Lets You Buy Drugs—But Bans Burger Ads

Amsterdam is one of Europe’s most permissive cities, where prostitution is celebrated and going to a ‘coffee shop’ regularly involves getting high on cannabis.

It’s hardly surprising, then, that the city’s decision to ban public adverts for meat—alongside fossil fuel products such as petrol cars and airline travel—has been met with a mix of ridicule and outright condemnation.

ABC, CBS OMIT Palisades Firebug and His Luigi Mangione Fixation

ABC, CBS OMIT Palisades Firebug and His Luigi Mangione Fixation

The Elitist Media evening newscasts rightly accorded significant coverage to last year’s deadly Southern California wildfires. It is therefore unfortunate that they seem mostly disinterested in covering the arrest and revealed motive of the individual suspected in starting the Palisades Fire.

ABC and CBS did NOT cover the arrest of Jonathan Rinderknecht. ABC covered the end of the litigation between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, while CBS covered the Met Gala. There was simply no time to spare.

Cambridge fails to suspend students who threatened to kill classmate over Israel trip

A University of Cambridge college has been criticised after it failed to suspend students who made death threats against an undergraduate who visited Israel.

The visit, organised by the Pinsker Centre think tank, took Oxbridge student leaders to Israel, where they met Israelis and Palestinians to better understand the Gaza conflict.

But one of the party, Bradley Smart, 21, said he received death threats from fellow students when he returned to Homerton College.

Judge ‘disturbed’ over ‘legally deficient’ treatment of Trump gala shooting suspect

Judge ‘disturbed’ over ‘legally deficient’ treatment of Trump gala shooting suspect

A US judge on Monday apologized to the man accused of attempting to assassinate Donald Trump for the “legally deficient” treatment he has faced in a Washington DC, jail, including being placed on suicide watch, separated from other inmates and denied a Bible.

The US magistrate judge Zia Faruqui said he was disturbed by the conditions for Cole Allen, who allegedly fired a shotgun during a foiled attack on Trump and senior officials in his administration at a 25 April press gala. The judge said the conditions were inappropriate for a person with no criminal history.

“Whatever you’ve been through, I apologize,” Faruqui said during a court hearing.
