A diverse group of women stripped off for photographs with just a ballot covering their privates as part of a campaign to urge people to vote Democrat in the upcoming midterm elections. Ten women took part in the series called 'Grab Them By The Ballot' hoping the powerful images will encourage people to cast their ballot on November 6. Dawn Robertson, 48, decided to organize the photo shoot with a cast of diverse women of different sizes, sexual orientations and races after #MeToo allegations against prominent figures continued to rise. She said the Republican party's attack on women's reproductive rights...

Spooooky!!!

Man, this sucks. After 15 years, there will be no Ghost to Ghost tonight for me..or Art Bell's Spooky Matters after he passed away this year. The last few years I would just download the entire 3 hours on Youtube (someone always uploads the show the next day) and listen to it in parts. I dont want to listen to the new annoying hosts and stopped after George "vote for obama" Noory took over. Art Bell was the one I listened to because he wasn't a condescending prick like Noory. ALL of the Art Bell shows are on Youtube from...

A would-be actor took a shockingly extreme step to improve his career by cutting off his own arm so that he could more easily pose as a war veteran, only to have a handful of small, modest parts to show for his extreme and bloody trouble. According to KOB4, Todd Latourette, who claims he is bipolar, cut off and cauterized his right arm roughly 17 years ago while he was off his medications. “I severed my hand with a Skil saw,” he told the outlet. “The state of my mind was a psychotic episode.” Surprisingly, the move worked and Latourette...

A TEXT message with a panting tongue emoji sent from Oscar winner Geoffrey Rush “panicked” a young actress who said she felt the actor was “unsafe”. Eryn Jean Norvill said she felt “bewildered” by the message from Mr Rush in which he also wrote: “I was thinking of you as I do more than is socially appropriate”. Ms Norvill told the Federal Court she “probably panicked” when she received the message “because I believed Geoffrey to be unsafe”. Mr Rush, 67, is suing The Daily Telegraph over a series of articles late in 2017 which reported that a young actress...

Toilet paper and rainbows of silly string dangling from trees, soap smeared on car windows and overflowing foam fountains. Eggshell shards scattered across yards and driveways with with gooey yolks sliding down window panes. Each Halloween in New Jersey, some residents awake to find such sights on their manicured lawns and once-sparkling windows. It's the sign that someone (probably your local teens) had a good time the night before on Mischief Night — which is, apparently, a very Jersey thing. The night of Oct. 30 has long-proved a prankster's paradise. But in recent years, more and more police departments have...

Marie-Claire Springham, a product design student at Central Saint Martin's, is in the process of making a 'chestfeeding kit'. The idea behind the product is for dads to be able to help mums who are struggling to breastfeed their newborns. Still in the conception stage, the kit is yet to be tested, but contains a cocktail of hormones that the man would take while his partner is pregnant, in order to "grow milk ducts". The main hormone is progestin, a form of the female sex hormone progesterone, which helps to stimulate production of milk-producing glands. However there is one major...

My FIRST Vanity in the 20 years I've been here. Allow me some slack!

You know what? I *hate* being the point-man in saying this stuff. People will write me off as a nutcase. But, if you are going to be a pioneer, you have to be ready to take the arrows. In the last few days, we have been treated to the following events: A Florida man who sent caricatures of bombs to prominent leaders of the far left, and A man (or pair of men), one who has been identified as a #NeverTrump, rabidly Jew hater, who killed 8 at a Pittsburgh synagogue. Two violent events, only two weeks before a crucial...

A source close to the 32-year-old told People that Anthony has thought about having children again. “For a long time she was like ‘no way,'” the source told People. “But time has changed that and she’s now open to it in a way she hasn’t been before.”

Lithium is a potent psychiatric drug, one of the primary prescribed medications for bipolar disorder. But it’s also an element that occurs naturally all over the Earth’s crust — including in bodies of water. That means that small quantities of lithium wind up in the tap water you consume every day. Just how much is in the water varies quite a bit from place to place. Naturally, that made researchers curious: Are places with more lithium in the water healthier, mentally? Do places with more lithium have less depression or bipolar or — most importantly of all — fewer suicides?...
