Pace, power, tenacity at the breakdown, street-smarts around the park; those in the know stroked their chins and predicted a long and fruitful career in white. Of course, this hasn’t materialised. He was frozen out by Eddie Jones after playing just 90 minutes across the 2021 Six Nations. And even though he was rightly recognised as…
The rightwing Conservative Political Action Coalition (CPAC) has attacked US retailer Target over items in its Pride collection, the latest in a wave of conservative backlash against LGBTQ communities and businesses that promote their civil rights. The political group issued a statement on Thursday calling out the retailer for “promoting demonic paraphernalia” that is included in its LGBTQ+ collection. “CPAC Chairman Matt Schlapp has sent a letter to Brian Cornell, the Chairman and CEO of Target Corporation and its board members on the disturbing news that they have partnered with a Satanic designer in promoting demonic paraphernalia in their stores,”…
Comment Shaquille O’Neal is over 7 feet tall and appears on TV frequently. But the former NBA star was hard to locate — at least for the more than two dozen process servers who had been hired to notify O’Neal that he’s being sued. For nearly four months, they followed O’Neal from Georgia to Texas to Florida to hand him a complaint naming him as a defendant in a lawsuit against FTX — once one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges and now a collapsed company involved in an alleged fraud case. Despite several close encounters, though, O’Neal remained out…

Virgin Galactic is finally on the cusp of launching its space tourism business. After a late start, the company has completed its last VSS Unity flight test before commercial service starts. The Unity 25 mission tested both technical functionality and the overall experience for astronauts, and reached space at roughly 12:26PM Eastern. The launch also made a little history: crew member Jamila Gilbert became the first female astronaut from New Mexico, according to Virgin. Gilbert and fellow crewmates Chris Huie, Luke Mays and Beth Moses are all Virgin employees. The company has delayed this test multiple times. The final delay…
Biden and McCarthy could be nearing a debt ceiling deal, reports say Joan E Greve Reports indicate that Joe Biden and the House speaker, Republican Kevin McCarthy, are nearing an agreement on a bill that would raise the debt ceiling through the 2024 election, which would allow the president to avoid another standoff until after voters go to the polls. That proposal is already receiving pushback on the far right, underscoring that McCarthy will likely need Democratic votes to get any bipartisan bill through the House. Kevin McCarthy is on the verge of striking a terrible deal to give…
Horsetail, also known as mare’s tail, can spread quickly in a garden which can crowd out flowers and plants in beds and borders. The perennial weed has fast-growing rhizomes which can quickly spread dense foliage. The plant can easily be recognised as it has tree-like shoots that make it look like a fir. In the summer months, it has green shoots which can grow to be two feet tall. One of the main problems with horsetail is how deep it can spread underground. The plant can go down as deep as two metres below the surface which can make it…
