A 23 year-old Washington D.C male named Trent Gates claims to have pioneered a new innovation in the world of body modification.

Gates, who identifies as non-binary, claims to have personally removed his own testicles and penis, desiring to render himself what he refers to as a genitalia-free 'nullo.'

Apparently Gates isn't the first to undergo the procedure in its own right- the phrase is used in extreme subcultures to describe biological males who have chosen to remove their sex organs and nipples.

Gates claims to have received inspiration from a California nullo known as 'Gelding.'

Activists say Netflix's 13 Reasons Why should be axed for romanticizing teen suicide

The popular Netflix series '13 Reasons Why' has sparked controversy in the US as some studies claim it was conducive to a spike in suicide rates, while activist groups demand the company justify airing the show.

The series centered around a teen suicide, which has already ran for two seasons, has attracted a significant audience but also generated controversy over its portrayal of self-harm and suicide, which, according to some activists, encouraged people to take their own lives.

Meanwhile, the third season of the show is poised for release later in 2019. RT reached out to Julio Rivera, an editorial director for the Reactionary Times and Mark Rutherford, a licensed psychotherapist to discuss the issue.

Dead woman found in Melbourne park, police issue an indictment on 'men's behavior'

Sat, 25 May 2019 15:15 UTC

A senior police officer in Australia has said that violence against women "is absolutely about men's behavior" after dog-walkers discovered a woman's body in Melbourne.

Victoria Police Assistant Commissioner Luke Cornelius made the comments after the fourth killing of a women in public in Melbourne in less than a year.

The officer said he couldn't get into specifics about the current homicide investigation, but spoke more generally about violent attacks by men on women, saying, "the key point I'd make about that is this is about men's behavior, it's not about women's behavior."

Comment: Are Aussie police trying to be 'woke'? This is not a male issue that requires some kind of special familial and communal dialogue. The vast majority of men do not murder women. The individual who committed this act should be found and punished accordingly without turning this incident into a feminist screed on so-called toxic masculinity.

Buffalo police conspired with Catholic Church to shield priests from sexual abuse charges

Attorney General Letitia James needs to include in her investigation of the Catholic Church how Buffalo police came to conspire with the church to cover up up crimes by priests.

It was a conspiracy and someone should pay. Attorney General Letitia James is the one to make sure it happens.

As disturbing as it is to know that Buffalo police and the Catholic Church were engaged in a depraved and illegal policy to shield priests from criminal prosecution, it doesn't really come as a surprise. That had been standard practice elsewhere in the country, with the church and law enforcement conniving to shield priests at the expense of the children they molested. All in the name of religion.

That was among the conclusions of last year's explosive report by the Pennsylvania Attorney General's Office - one that the church had tried to suppress. The report, which looked at six of the state's dioceses, concluded that the church persuaded families not to report sexual abuses and police not to investigate them.

It's one thing to pressure a family not to report a hideous crime - as revolting as that is - but another entirely to collude with police to turn a blind eye to the law at precisely the moment that its enforcement is needed the most.

"Priests were raping little boys and girls, and the men of God who were responsible for them not only did nothing; they hid it all," according to the report of the Pennsylvania grand jury. And police went along.

An ultralight aircraft carrying half a million dollars worth of methamphetamine and fentanyl across the southern border was nabbed by Border Patrol agents late Thursday, according to the agency, but the pilot managed to make an escape.

The single-person aircraft was tracked flying across the U.S.-Mexico border by agents in the Nogales and Tucson, Arizona, stations at about 11 p.m. The ultralight craft was tracked to a landing site on a dirt road south of Tucson, Customs and Border Protection said in a press release.

The drugs were found, but the pilot was not.

"An [Air and Marine Operations] helicopter crew and Border Patrol agents conducted an exhaustive search of the area, but did not find the presumed pilot," CBP said in a statement.

Pope Francis weighs in on US abortion battle: 'Is it licit to hire a hitman to resolve a problem?'

Pope Francis on Saturday said abortion can never be condoned, even when the fetus is gravely sick or malformed. He is urging doctors and priests to support families to carry such pregnancies to term.

During an audience with participants of a Vatican-sponsored anti-abortion conference, Francis said opposition to abortion isn't a religious issue but a human one: "Is it licit to throw away a life to resolve a problem? Is it licit to hire a hitman to resolve a problem?"

Francis denounced decisions to abort based on prenatal testing, saying a human being is "never incompatible with life." The pope has spoken out strongly against abortion, though he has also expressed sympathy for women who have had them and made it easier for them to be forgiven.

San Francisco is a sh*thole: The high cost of low-level crime

City workers try to keep San Francisco's streets clean.

San Francisco is the nation's leader in property crime. Burglary, larceny, shoplifting, and vandalism are included under this ugly umbrella. The rate of car break-ins is particularly striking: in 2017 over 30,000 reports were filed, and the current average is 51 per day. Other low-level offenses, including drug dealing, street harassment, encampments, indecent exposure, public intoxication, simple assault, and disorderly conduct are also rampant.

Many in law enforcement blame the crime wave on Proposition 47, which in 2014 downgraded possession of illegal narcotics for personal use and theft of anything under $950 in value from felonies to misdemeanors. Anti-incarceration advocates disagree with that argument, but theft is indisputably booming, and narcotics activity is exploding on sidewalks, parks, and playgrounds. When compounded with other troubles for which the city is now infamous (human feces, filth, and homelessness, which is up 17 percent since 2017), San Franciscans find themselves surrounded by squalor and disorder.

"A lot of people are ready to leave because the crimes are causing depression," says Susan Dyer Reynolds, editor-in-chief of the Marina Times, an independent community newspaper. "Navigation centers" for the homeless, says Reynolds, "are not sober facilities, and people steal and break into cars to feed their habits. Crime will go up. We know this."

CrossFit, Inc. suspends use of Facebook and associated properties

Thu, 23 May 2019 00:01 UTC

CrossFit is a contrarian physiological and nutrition prescription for improving fitness and health. It is contrarian because prevailing views of fitness, health, and nutrition are wrong and have unleashed a tsunami of chronic disease upon our friends, family, and communities. The voluntary CrossFit community of 15,000 affiliates and millions of individual adherents stands steadfastly and often alone against an unholy alliance of academia, government, and multinational food, beverage, and pharmaceutical companies.

CrossFit, Inc. defends relentlessly the right of its affiliates, trainers, and athletes to practice CrossFit, build voluntary CrossFit associations and businesses, and speak openly and freely about the ideas and principles that animate our views of exercise, nutrition, and health. This website - and, until recently, CrossFit's Facebook and Instagram accounts - has long catalogued CrossFit's tireless defense of its community against overreaching governments, malicious competitors, and corrupt academic organizations.

Comment: Tim Pool's take on this is that CrossFit's pulling out of Facebook is remarkable, not because they're the first (many other brands have left Facebook including SpaceX and Tesla, Playboy, Mozilla and Pep Boys, due to data breech/privacy concerns). But rather the brand is leaving because, despite being inherently unpolitical, they are still being threatened by Facebook's censorship. The Banting7DayMealPlan group had nothing to do with politics - it's a low-carb high-fat diet group - yet they were deemed guilty of wrong-think and subsequently censored. This is a huge move, and illustrates the fact that the culture war is going to come to your front door, regardless of your political stance. Here's Pool's take:

SDF Forces Arrest 200 Men in Syria for Resisting Forced Recruitment - Unconfirmed Report

Civilians refusing to enlist are being imprisoned or executed, sparking violent protests among locals, according to reports. In the meantime, the SDF forcibly thwarted an attempt by a group of women and children trying to escape a camp in al-Hawl.

The US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces arrested approximately 200 male civilians, including children, during raids in Hasaka province of Syria between Friday and Sunday, according to Fars News report. According to the report, the detained civilians were forced to join the ranks of People's Protection Units (YPG), the predominantly-Kurdish militia that comprises the core of multinational SDF.

The raids are said to be in line with the SDF policy of forced mobilization, despite protests among the local population.

The SDF also conducted raids in Raqqa province, arresting dozens of civilians.

On Thursday, SDF forces opened fire on residents of al-Hawl Refugee Camp located in southeastern Hasaka, some 15 km from the Iraqi border, according to Fars. The militants opened fire on a group of women and children who tried to escape the refugee camp due to its unbearable humanitarian conditions.

Bertrand Guay Popular fitness brand CrossFit has deleted its Facebook and Instagram accounts with a combined following of about 6 million, saying the platforms betrayed users' trust after they removed a popular nutrition-oriented user group.

"Facebook is acting in the service of food and beverage industry interests by deleting the accounts of communities that have identified the corrupted nutritional science responsible for unchecked global chronic disease," CrossFit said in a statement posted on Wednesday, referring to the Banting7DayMealPlan group that Facebook mysteriously deleted - only to reinstate it without an explanation. The group's 1.65 million users shared their experiences and information about low-carb high-fat diets.
