👀Some GTA players are reportedly concerned about censorship of the confederate flag in the upcoming "GTA: The Trilogy – Definitive Edition."
Looks like the devs at Grand Theft Auto are trying to fit today’s socio-political climate, as a game character’s shirt was altered to remove the Confederate flag. Many critiqued Rockstar’s decision to alter Vice City’s content, implying that the point of using the flag and many other 'edgy' details in the game was to mock stereotypes.
🤔 Even gaming society has turned 'woke'?

🤢 👃 Walmart is recalling a room spray after “rare and dangerous” bacteria were found in it, the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) says.
The retailer’s Better Homes and Gardens-branded aromatherapy spray is now considered a hazard, since the Burkholderia pseudomallei bacteria found in one of the bottles causes melioidosis, a condition that can be fatal.
There is a cluster of several confirmed cases of melioidosis that is currently being investigated in the US. The room spray bottle with the dangerous bacteria was found in the home of one of the melioidosis decedents.

"Mockery on the verge of sadism," the Russian Foreign Ministry said, commenting on the US Department of State decision to include Russian citizens applying for an American visa to the Homeless Nationalities category.
"Homeless" applicants are those referred to neighboring countries when their own state does not have a US consular mission, or the political situation there is so unstable that it does not allow American diplomats to process visa applications.
Apart from Russia, the list includes nine other countries, including Cuba, Iran, and Syria.

❗ Non-profit organisation White Coat Waste Project has accused Dr Anthony Fauci of funding experiments in Tunisia that involved infecting dogs with disease-causing parasites.
The beagle pups had their heads locked in mesh cages filled with infected sand flies. Some of the dogs are said to have had their vocal cords removed, allegedly so scientists could work without listening to barking. A total of 44 animals were later euthanised, according to the report.

🙃WaPo mocked for reporting on 'vulgar taunts' against Biden
As Biden was greeted by ‘F***k Biden’ signs in his hometown of Scranton, Pennsylvania, last week, the Washington Post showed newfound concern for the use of vulgarity in criticism “on another level,” compared to the usual insults politicians face.
The article suggested that "the current eruption of anti-Biden signs and chants, however, is on another level, far more vulgar and widespread" than anything seen in previous administrations.
🤔Maybe we missed @washingtonpost columns on Trump’s critics’ vulgar taunts? Or is the newspaper desperately trying to again earn Biden's sympathy?

‘How stupid our country has become’: Trump unleashes on multiple crises under Biden
Former US President Donald Trump complained of multiple crises facing the country - from a migrant surge to the US withdrawal from Afghanistan - and suggested that the first remedy should be to “finish the wall.”
In a statement on his personal website, he said that the country “is dying from within and nobody is doing anything to stop it.”
🗣 “Our Country is being poisoned with the millions of people that are illegally flowing through our Borders, in most cases not even questioned or stopped,” he said. “Many are criminals from the emptied prisons of other countries, most of these are very dangerous people.”
“So sad to watch when just 10 months ago we had none of these problems, and none either with bad economy, inflation, fuel prices going through the roof, and so much else,” he claimed.

👀US Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi referred to the former US president, Donald Trump, as "what's his name" during a Sunday interview on CNN's State of the Union.
"Now mind you, just to remind, when what’s-his-name was president, and the Republicans were in power," Pelosi said, discussing the previous administration.
It’s not the first time that the Speaker of the House conveniently "forgot" Trump's name, as she also confused Trump with former US President George W. Bush in 2018.
Was she being forgetful, or just catty?
