If this has posted before I missed it. Maybe you did, too. Hillary was speaking to an elementary school class in upstate New York and was taking questions. Kenneth said he had three questions: 1. What really happened in Benghazi? 2. Why did you decide to run for President after your husband disgraced the Office? 3: What happened to the 6 billion dollars missing from the State Department? As soon as Kenneth posed his questions, the bell rang for recess. The question session was to continue when class resumed. Upon class resuming, Johnny was called on. Johnny said he had...

Google says it is "appalled" that its new Photos app mistakenly labelled a black couple as being "gorillas". Its product automatically tags uploaded pictures using its own artificial intelligence software. The error was brought to its attention by a New York-based software developer who was one of the people pictured in the photos involved. Google was later criticised on social media because of the label's racist connotations. "This is 100% not OK," acknowledged Google executive Yonatan Zunger after being contacted by Jacky Alcine via Twitter. "[It was] high on my list of bugs you 'never' want to see happen."

The pursuit of reproductive success in the animal kingdom sometimes calls for extreme measures. But few creatures can match the hermaphrodite flatworm, which scientists have discovered can reproduce by injecting sperm into its own head. The tiny aquatic worm, Macrostomum hystix, is able to self-fertilise because it produces both eggs and sperm. Although it prefers to reproduce with other flatworms, when no mating opportunities are present it resorts to using its needle-like penis to inject sperm into its own head. The sperm then swim down the creature’s transparent body to fertilise eggs in the tail region, leading to viable offspring.

Greece has threatened to seek a court injunction against the EU institutions, both to block the country's expulsion from the euro and to halt asphyxiation of the banking system. “The Greek government will make use of all our legal rights,” said the finance minister, Yanis Varoufakis. “We are taking advice and will certainly consider an injunction at the European Court of Justice. The EU treaties make no provision for euro exit and we refuse to accept it. Our membership is not negotiable,“ he told the Telegraph.

Hundreds of thousands of people gathered for gay pride parades, parties and celebrations around the world Sunday. Most events were peaceful, but in Istanbul, Turkish police fired water cannon and rubber pellets to disperse a crowd.

Turkish media reported that police said people would not to be allowed to march this year. In New York, massive crowds gathered ahead of the city’s annual gay pride parade, which was first held in 1970. Organizers said they expected a record...

At an LGBT pride month reception held at the White House on Wednesday, President Obama was interrupted by an audience member protesting the detention and deportation of gay, lesbian and transgender immigrants. It wasn't necessarily the interruption itself, however, that caught headlines worldwide – it was the president's terse shutdown of the protester as well as her swift removal from the White House. The woman has been identified as Jennicet Gutiérrez by GetEQUAL, the activist group for which she acted as a representative in her demonstration. Gutiérrez – an undocumented immigrant – is a founding member of FAMILIA TQLM, which...

Tuna Fish. Like Rino’s they come packaged and present themselves for appeal. I’m not sure anymore if I want to buy “Chunk” or “Solid”, given their labels it’s hard to tell the difference. And really, what’s the difference between “Chunk” and “Solid”? What’s the difference in the meanings of the words they chose? Why can’t they be clearer? “Prepackaged for your convenience and ready for your consumption.”

Are evidently not supposed to buy baby food. I went to the grocery store today and bought some baby food. I have four dogs, and one of them is sick and I feed him baby food. I know, but that's how I roll. The cashier at the grocery store was a young woman, probably around twenty years old. She looked at the baby food and then she looked at me. She did this a few times. She had a puzzled look on her face. She finally looked me in the eyes and said, "You have a baby?" I suppose I...
