CHARLESTON, SCIn what was originally intended as a low-key girls weekend, four of bride-to-be Julia Rose Atkinsons closest friends were financially ruined this week after her bachelorette party completely bankrupted her fave girlies. The weekend turned out a bit more expensive than we had anticipated, but of course it was all worth it to celebrate our ride-or-die chica, said newly insolvent bridesmaid Zara Khan, who quietly canceled her dental insurance after being hit with a surprise $800 charge for damage to the pink party barge chartered for the occasion. Seriously, the weekend could not have been more perfect. The Airbnb we rented was huge, the spa day was absolutely divine, and the champagne-room VIP club crawl in matching designer Till Death Do Us Party sashes was a night Ill never forget. Thats not even to mention the boozy yoga, the private pole dancing class, the beach day with matching swimsuits and custom towels, the Hummer limo rental, the professional makeup and hair services for the group, the wine tasting and vineyard tour, the bottomless-mimosa drag brunches, the custom Bride Squad tumblers, the late-night tattoo stop, the session with a psychic, the sexy male strippers, the first-class plane tickets, and of course the professional photographer who tagged along all weekend to preserve the memories forever. At press time, the destitute bridesmaids had reportedly made appointments to sell their plasma in order to afford the $600 floor-length sage green gowns required for Atkinsons wedding ceremony.The post Bachelorette Party Bankrupts 4 Of Brides Fave Girlies appeared first on The Onion.

PHILADELPHIARushing into a darkened stadium and dreading what they might discover, NBC Sports producers reportedly panicked Friday upon realizing they had accidentally left analyst Cris Collinsworth in theSunday Night Footballbroadcast booth for the entire offseason. We just assumed hed gone home after calling the divisional round, but then people at Lincoln Financial Field told us theyd been hearing scratching sounds and a faint voice praising Jalen Hurts poise in the pocket, said NBC spokesperson Allison Carlisle, adding that Collinsworth had survived the past seven months by eating foam off of microphones and drinking half-empty water bottles he found in the trash. Doesnt seem like it bothered him, though. When we found him, he was talking to no one in particular about how A.J. Brown is undersized yet isnt afraid to lower the shoulder. He was gaunt, sitting in his own urine and feces, but instead of asking for food or water, he just turned to us and calmly said, This Eagles O-line is a five-man wrecking crew with a blocking scheme straight out of your nightmares. Good luck lining up against them.

WASHINGTONSuggesting an unorthodox alternative to standard oncological treatments, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. issued recommendations Friday that encourage Americans to eat what he described as good cancer to kill the bad cancer already in their bodies. They cancel each other out, Kennedy told reporters as he demonstrated how he uses a Microplane to grate tumors he forages from medical waste bins, incorporating their positive carcinogenic effects into his meals. Instead of flooding your system with nasty chemicals that big pharmaceutical companies manufacture in foreign labs, you can incorporate organic good cancer into your system to naturally crowd out and eliminate the harmful bad cancer cells. Weve known about this for generations, but lobbyist groups like the American Cancer Society have misled people about the proven health benefits of good cancer in order to line their pockets. Its all about balance: Too much good cancer will act like a bad cancer, but not enough good cancer in your diet will cause the bad cancer to run amok. As he blended a raw tumor into a Nutribullet smoothie, Kennedy argued that it was best to consume the good cancer raw to avoid cooking off its healthy cancer properties.The post RFK Jr. Recommends Eating Good Cancer To Kill The Bad Cancer appeared first on The Onion.

Since the 2024 election, it has become increasingly fashionable to sacrifice trans people on the altar of political approval. Within hours of Kamala Harris loss in November, some pundits were already throwing trans people under the bus. This is painful enough when theyre coming from Democrats in red states and those who are looking to dodge a complicated issue. But the comments that recently came from former Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg leave a particularly bad taste in the mouth.Not only has Buttigieg historically shown support for the LGBTQ+ community (of which hes a part), but he has also built his brand on being able to explain nuanced and complex issues in a careful and compelling way to right-wing viewers on Fox News. Now, Buttigiegs take on trans athletes fails both the trans community and his own reputation. Related The Supreme Court will hear trans sports ban cases, which could spell doom for trans rights Buttigiegs comments came at the end of July during a discussion with Steve Inskeep for NPRs Morning Edition. Inskeep brought up Rahm Emanuels recent interview with Megyn Kelly, where Emanuel agreed that a man cannot become a woman and the ensuing backlash, and then asked Buttigieg how he approached the topic.Buttigieg arguably started out well, saying that we need to treat trans people with compassion. He also suggested that we need to approach, with empathy, those who are concerned and recognize their confusion. Dive deeper every day Join our newsletter for thought-provoking commentary that goes beyond the surface of LGBTQ+ issues Subscribe to our Newsletter today Taken by itself, that suggestion has merit: a lot of people have been fed lies and propaganda about trans people for a long time, and responding by telling people to blindly get over it hasnt been working. Educating those people on the science behind trans people and why they absolutely have a place in the restrooms and sports teams that match their gender identity is not unwarranted.We gain acceptance through understanding, and that understanding can come from a lot of places. But right now, both sides are throwing out claims without taking the time to support them, and the anti-trans crowd is packaging their lies in fear and hate, which makes them more appealing for those who are looking for someone to blame. Unfortunately, after an acceptable start to his response, Buttigieg went off the rails and spouted some of the same anti-trans rhetoric that weve heard seeping into Democrats discussions in recent months. Without further prompting from Inskeep, Buttigieg suggested that most reasonable people would recognize that there are serious fairness issues [] when a trans athlete wants to compete in womens sports.Inskeep asked whether that meant a parent complaining about a trans athlete competing against their child had a case, and Buttigieg agreed that they would. Those comments very quickly take Buttigiegs potential argument from theres nuance to be understood and science to be explained, but ultimately trans people belong in sports to maybe trans people shouldnt be playing sports.When Inskeep quoted Donald Trumps comments about no boys in girls sports and said that it didnt sound like Buttigieg is signing on to that, Buttigieg didnt shut it down, but rather deflected, noting that chess is different from weightlifting and weightlifting is different from volleyball, and middle school is different from the Olympics. Its important that politicians highlight just how much the anti-trans movement is primarily about ostracizing trans people from society, and banning trans women from womens chess is a great example of that. But the way that Buttigieg raised it here suggests that he thinks theres room to discriminate against trans people in some places but not others. Its perhaps worth noting that a trans woman who is on hormones will lose muscle mass, etc., and her weightlifting ability will be much closer to that of her female counterparts: the science behind all of that is being examined and is evolving. That might be hard to trot out in an interview, but again, thats what makes this quite so disappointing: Buttigieg has shown he can present that sort of data and nuance in a discussion, but here he seems to be bringing out the new weak Democratic messaging on trans people instead of speaking up for a marginalized community.While weve seen other Democrats throw people under the bus or deliver less-than-perfect messaging, this is different. When someone like California Gov. Gavin Newsom does it, its not as surprising as it should be, as hes proven to be so motivated by political ambition. Rep. Sarah McBride (D-DE) has been heavily criticized for some of her comments because shes trans herself and expected to stand up and be the model minorityperfect on everything. But compared to someone like Buttigieg, shes relatively inexperienced with this sort of matter and handling the level of attention it has been receiving. Whether its a matter of following new talking points or getting pressured by an interviewer into making concessions, Buttigieg should know better and has shown that he can hold his own in situations like this, so this all feels like more of a choice on his part to support some of the anti-trans messaging around inclusivity in sports. Buttigieg has since done another interview where he sought to clarify his points. This time, he didnt talk about whether someone would have a case to complain about trans athletes inclusion in school sports. Additionally, rather than vague fairness concerns, he suggested that people were going to have questions about how to make sure thats fair, which (to give him the benefit of the doubt) leaves the door open for trans inclusion under certain considerations.But crucially, the problem with his second interview is that he doubled down on another point he originally brought up. In pushing that trans people shouldnt be a political football, he suggested that the solution to all of this was to remove the discussion from politics and instead leave it to the sports leagues and school boards.While trans people have received too much political attention with bans on everything from our healthcare to our ability to go about our daily lives, what Buttigieg is suggesting here is simply passing the buck in the most dangerous of ways. When it comes to school sports, there are issues of Title IX discrimination at play with whether trans students are allowed to compete with students of the same gender identity. That very definitely is a matter that needs to be addressed by federal politicians because Title IX is a federal statute that bans discrimination on the basis of sex in education.The idea that the solution for this issue of discrimination against trans people is to leave it to the leagues is as flawed as Trumps suggestion that we leave abortion up to the states in the wake of Roe v. Wade being overturned. No, politicians shouldnt be the ones unilaterally deciding on peoples access to reproductive care, but they should be listening to scientists and data to ensure that everyone gets the appropriate access that is best for their well-being.If ending segregation had been left up to the states, many states would still be segregated: we know this because the National Guard had to be sent in to force local agencies to allow Black students into school. Politicians shouldnt be restricting gender-affirming care against a medical consensus that such health care is safe and life-saving; instead, they might need to enshrine protections for it by working with doctors and researchers. Politicians might need to work with sports leagues and experts to ensure that trans athletes can be included, but leaving decisions up to the leagues while Trump is loudly influencing such choices is simply not enough. Buttigiegs words are an attempt to avoid the issue altogether rather than actually engage with protecting the vulnerable.Right now, a lot of the trans community is justifiably feeling betrayed by Buttigieg. Whether he misspoke or was taking up talking points handed to him, the appearance is very much that he has decided trashing trans people is acceptable if it helps him to set up a 2028 run for president thats more palatable to centrists and conservatives.We can give him the benefit of the doubt, but if he wants the trans and ally vote, hes going to need to come out swinging in defense of trans people. Going Eh, its complicated and essentially leaving our rights to the bigots is not going to be enough.Subscribe to theLGBTQ Nation newsletterand be the first to know about the latest headlines shaping LGBTQ+ communities worldwide.

The parents of a trans teen, who they say was mercilessly bullied by both fellow students and faculty, are suing an Alabama school district following the students death by suicide.As local ABC affiliate WDHN reports, Carmeisha and Cory Williams have filed a federal civil rights lawsuit accusing the Elba City Board of Education and former Elba High School principals Wynn Grimes and Dr. Warren Weeks of violating their childs rights under Title IX, Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans With Disabilities Act, and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Related Anti-LGBTQ+ hate crimes in schools have quadrupled in states with laws targeting the community According to the lawsuit, the student, identified as S.W., had already endured years of verbal racial harassment from white peers for being mixed race when they came out as gay and requested to be addressed with they/them pronouns during their seventh-grade year (20212022). The harassment escalated after they came out, with multiple teachers allegedly refusing to use their name and pronouns and mocking and belittling S.W. along with fellow students. S.W. began engaging in self-harm behavior and was hospitalized in April 2023 for serious mental health conditions, including a major depressive disorder and anxiety with suicidal ideation, resulting from the persistent bullying. When they returned to school, students allegedly mocked S.W.s mental health struggles, encouraging them to end their own life. Never Miss a Beat Subscribe to our newsletter to stay ahead of the latest LGBTQ+ political news and insights. Subscribe to our Newsletter today As WDHN notes, the lawsuit alleges that during their tenures as principals, both Grimes, who was made aware of S.W.s hospitalization, and Weeks failed to address the consistent harassment and did not provide S.W.s family with bullying complaint forms as required by Alabamas Anti-Bullying law. The Williamses contend that the district selectively enforced its own anti-bullying policies for white, non-disabled, straight, and gender-conforming students, but not for non-white, disabled, and LGBTQ+ students.According to the complaint, Weeks was recruited by Elba City Schools Superintendent Christopher Moseley in 2023 despite being warned that Weeks had a documented history of verbal and physical violence against students, teachers, and parents at his previous school. As the Advocate notes, the lawsuit claims that S.W. informed Weeks that they were being bullied when they returned to school on August 7, 2023. The following day, Weeks allegedly screamed at S.W. in front of approximately 50 students and forcibly removed a hoodie that S.W. wore, revealing self-harm scars. Despite seeing the scars and clear mortification, Weeks kept the hoodie, forcing SW to suffer this exposure for the rest of the school day, Artur Davis, one of the attorneys representing the Williamses, said in a statement, according to WDHN.The following day, August 9, 2023, S.W. died by suicide. They were just 14 years old.The conduct of school officials reflects more than indifference and rises to the level of intentional discrimination against a marginalized child, the lawsuit states. In addition to punitive and compensatory damages, the Williamses are asking the court to issue permanent injunctive relief requiring comprehensive anti-bullying and anti-discrimination policies, mandatory training for staff, and clear protocols for addressing harassment complaints. Our Constitution and our laws are not silent about the obligations to children in public schools: they are to be nurtured and protected, not abandoned to cruelty, Davis said in a press release. This lawsuit seeks accountability for a school systems failure to respect this childs life.How any responsible school system could put a bully in charge of stopping bullies is beyond me, Matthew Billips, who is also representing the family, added in the statement, probably referencing Weeks. Im grateful theres a new administration and hopefully they will turn this shameful episode into something that approaches justice for S.W. and their parents.Editors note: This article mentions suicide.

The Supreme Courts devastating anti-trans ruling in U.S. v. Skrmetti continues to impact court challenges to state-level bans on gender-affirming care for minors, most recently in Oklahoma.This week, a three-judge panel on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit cited Skrmetti in its decision to reject a challenge to Oklahomas ban on gender-affirming healthcare for trans youth, according to the Advocate. Related Supreme Court just threw out four pro-trans rulings Signed into law by Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt (R) in 2023, S.B. 613 bans all forms of thislifesaving health care including reversible puberty blockers for anyone under the age of 18. It forces trans minors currently receiving such care to de-transition over a six-month period. The law also makes it a felony for doctors to provide this care to trans youth and allows prosecution of health care professionals until their patients turn 45, and also potential civil penalties, including the loss of their medical licenses.The same week Stitt signed the law,Lambda Legal, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), and the law firm Jenner & Block LLP filed a lawsuit on behalf of five Oklahoma families with transgender teens and Dr. Shauna Lawlis of the University of Oklahoma, who provided gender-affirming care. The lawsuit argued that S.B. 613 unjustly and unfairly targets [the plaintiffs] and gender-affirming health care in violation of the Constitutions Fourteenth Amendment, which protects citizens from unequal application of laws.

Subscribe to our Newsletter today In October of 2023, a Republican-appointed district court judge in the state denied the plaintiffs request for a preliminary injunction banning the law from going into effect while the courts considered their lawsuit.The plaintiffs appealed the decision, but the 10th Circuit delayed its ruling in the case until after the Supreme Courts decision in Skrmetti. In June, the high court ruled in a 63 decision along ideological lines that a Tennessee law banning gender-affirming care for minors experiencing gender dysphoria does not violate the Constitutions Equal Protection Clause by discriminating on the basis of sex or transgender status, as plaintiffs in the case argued.Writing for the three-judge panel this week in the Oklahoma case, Judge Joel M. Carson III said that the court had relied on the Skrmetti decision in affirming the lower courts denial of a preliminary injunction.In a joint statement Thursday, Lambda Legal, the American Civil Liberties Union, and the ACLU of Oklahoma said that this weeks ruling is a devastating outcome for transgender youth and their families across Oklahoma and another tragic result of the Supreme Courts errant and harmful ruling in Skrmetti. Oklahomas ban is openly discriminatory and provably harmful to the transgender youth of this state, putting political dogma above parents, their children, and their family doctors, the statement continued. While we and our clients consider our next steps, we want all transgender people and their families across Oklahoma to know we will never stop fighting for the future they deserve and their freedom to be themselves.The Skrmetti ruling allows 25 states to enforce bans on gender-affirming care for transgender minors and serves as precedent in other cases involving trans peoples rights under the Fourteenth Amendment. Already, the Supreme Court has ordered appellate court judges in San Francisco, Denver, and Richmond, Virginia, to reconsider previous rulings that found that state laws and policies in Idaho, North Carolina, Oklahoma, and West Virginia violated trans peoples right to equal protection under the Fourteenth Amendment.Subscribe to theLGBTQ Nation newsletterand be the first to know about the latest headlines shaping LGBTQ+ communities worldwide.

With the sun in Leo and Sirius rising, many use the day to manifest goals, meditate, or just vibe extra hard.Leave it to Shawn to tie a cosmic energy surge to a birthday post, and somehow make it hot.The rest of the carousel added a few more layers. A full moon photo followed, reinforcing the celestial undertones. Then another stage shot closed out the set, showing Mendes mid-performance again, still glowing, still magnetic.Dating Rumors Resurface AgainOf course, Mendes personal life never stays out of the spotlight for long. Just days before his birthday post, he shared another Instagram carousel that had fans in full-on investigation mode. The black-and-white photos showed Mendes looking cozy with Luana Quaglia, a longtime collaborator and international artist supervisor. One snap featured Dua Lipa planting a kiss on both of their cheeks, which didnt exactly cool the speculation.Quaglia and Mendes have worked together since at least 2019, and while neither has confirmed anything romantic, their closeness is fueling plenty of chatter. To be fair, Shawns dating history has long been a subject of fan fascination, from his high-profile relationship with Camila Cabello to those short-lived Sabrina Carpenter rumors he later shut down.As of now, the Stitches singer hasnt clarified his relationship status. But he does seem to be thriving, onstage and under the light of a full moon. Whether its love or friendshipo, Mendes is clearly glowing.And lets be honest, so is our camera roll after that carousel.Source

Tom Hollands latest digital appearance is melting the internet, and hes not even trying. The Spider-Man: No Way Home star took a freezing plunge and walked away with hearts aflame, proving once again that no one survives a cold bath quite as hot.Holland made a splash, literally, while filming an episode of Icebreakers for Mens Health UK. The segment took place at the Bero Padel Classic, an event hosted by Hollands nonalcoholic beer brand, and featured a freezing cold tub, a shirtless host, and a very wet white T-shirt.A Smash or Pass Fitness Game Turns SteamyDuring the episode, Holland played a fitness-themed round of Smash or Pass. The rules were simple: answer a question, dunk deeper into the ice bath. He confessed a love-hate relationship with burpees (he hates them but grits through them) and teased a sauna visit soon. But it wasnt his exercise preferences that grabbed attention.By the end of the game, both Holland and the shirtless host were soaking wet, dripping water and, in Hollands case, wearing a now-translucent white T-shirt that clung to his toned torso. His abs, already infamous thanks to a recent Mens Health U.S. cover shoot, were on full display.Oh my word, I am absolutely frozen to the bone, he said with a grin, his breath visible in the air and shirt stuck to his skin.

Not All Heroes Wear Capes, Some Wear Wet T-ShirtsWhether he intended to or not, Holland has left us all swooning and wanting to cold plunge ourselves (preferably with him in it). While he continues to charm fans on-screen, his off-screen moments, especially those involving fitness and a little skin, are giving the internet more than enough to talk about.And if this ice bath stunt is any indication, Tom Holland wont be chilling our timelines anytime soon.Source

Just weeks after the internet dragged her for her cover of Bette Davis Eyes, 22-year-old JoJo Siwa is back with a new track titled Raspy. This time, instead of running from the headlines, shes leaning into them. The song is a chaotic, self-aware response to her critics, her past, and the viral soundbites that have kept her name in everyones mouths.Eyes like Bette DavisThe track opens with a nod to the recent backlash, singing: Eyes like Bette Davis / Hear my voice and you know what my name is. Its a bold movestarting a song with the very controversy that had fans divided just days agobut thats the point. From there, she dives into her origin story: Wise beyond my age / Thats what happens when youre little and youre put on the stage. Its a clear reference to her time on Dance Moms, where she got her start under the eye (and wrath) of Abby Lee Millerwho even makes a cameo in the track via soundbite. JoJo, have you learned nothing? echoes Millers voice.A Self-Drag for the Digital AgeBut Raspy isnt just a reflection on her pastits a full-on internet spiral set to music. JoJo pokes fun at her own viral moments, including her infamous dream guest on my podcast clip that sparked endless memes. However, one of the most buzzed about lyric has to be: Dont hate me, Im just a little baby / Slim Shady, but a lady. Well let you make your own opinions on that one. The song continues with references to her Masked Singer appearance (Cause I couldnt make The Voice), her cover of Olivia Rodrigos Traitor, and more moments pulled straight from her public rollercoaster of a career.New Era, New BacklashWhile some fans are applauding her unapologetic, meta approach, others are calling out Raspy for sounding a little too similar to Mad Tsais Bite. Tsai has even commented on the comparison via Instagram story, but Siwa has yet to respond.Regardless, JoJos latest release is pure pop spectacle: messy, self-aware, and ready to start another round of discourse. Love her or hate her, shes steering the conversationand that might be the raspiest flex of all.Source
