Which conspiracy theories have been proved true? Anne Gibson, Leicester Send new questions to [email protected]. Readers reply True? That’s what they want you to think. sparklesthewonderhen The 1980s theory that there were moves afoot to institute a culture of mass surveillance in the UK, with a system of cameras watching everybody in public spaces. Of course, nobody would ever stand for that … ElCommentario It’s funny that some people claim that climate change is a conspiracy when there was an actual conspiracy by the organisations that wanted to cover it up. I mean, who is most likely to have the resources and motivation for something like this? University researchers or the richest companies on the planet? JohnI Well, the one about the establishment conspiring to stop Brexit is clearly nonsense.

Why do we wear underwear – and when did we start doing so? Kathy Thomas, Isle of Wight Send new questions to [email protected]. Readers reply Because fig leaves begin to wilt after a few days. UKClimber Underwear is an ancient garment meant to protect our most sensitive and vulnerable parts. Can you imagine the Romans in battle without an undergarment to protect them from the abrasions of their armour, or from weaponry? For women, it’s slightly different. It’s to protect our bits, but it’s also a sanitary product. Today, underwear is practical for most people, but it has turned into a fashion statement. There’s nothing wrong with this, it’s just made all underwear more expensive. archaeologist4life It’s a question of hygiene, certainly. The added protection keeps us clean and wards off the unsavoury consequences of sweat and bodily functions. But there’s more to it than practicality. Underwear has always been about shaping the body, about subtle whispers of support and control. It speaks of modesty, too, of course, drawing a veil over the parts of …

Meghan Markle turned down Coronation invite after Charles’ ‘unsatisfactory’ reply to letter

Meghan Markle turned down Coronation invite after Charles’ ‘unsatisfactory’ reply to letter

Published by Sam

Meghan Markle was ‘unimpressed’ by the Royal Family’s response to claims made in her infamous Oprah Winfrey interview, according to reports. Back in 2021, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex sat down for a tell-all interview with the US talk show host and made some serious claims about The Firm. And the moment that got the whole world talking was when they alleged one member of the royal family raised concerns about what colour the Sussexes baby would be. It then emerged that Meghan and Charles, who was the Prince of Wales at the time, exchanged letters about the incident which exposed the identity of the royal who made the skin-tone comment. It is alleged that Meghan was not satisfied with the response from Charles, and that was part of the reasoning for not attending the Coronation, reports The Mirror.

Published by skeptic

Social media platform X (formerly Twitter) will soon begin charging new users “a small fee” for posting content and liking, replying, and bookmarking tweets, according to CEO Elon Musk. X Daily News, a feed that posts X updates, today noticed that text strings on the website have been updated to mention a small annual fee that new users will need to pay in order to access the social network. Musk said in response that the fee for new users is “the only way to curb the relentless onslaught of bots.” The fee has previously been tested in New Zealand and the Philippines, and Musk says that it is applicable only to those who are new to Twitter. When a new user signs up, the user will need to pay the fee, or wait for three months to be able to engage on the network.

And while fans will now see the 76-year-old star in Netflix’s new sci-fi series 3 Body Problem, many will remember him as the late Prince Philip in The Crown – a role for which led him to apologise to Princess Anne.  Speaking on Tonight with Andrew Marr on LBC this week, Jonathan explained why he felt compelled to apologise to the royal for his portrayal of the late Duke of Edinburgh when she knighted him back in 2021.  © NetflixJonathan Pryce as Prince Philip in The Crown “I was seduced into the saying that to her, because a few weeks earlier, Lesley Manville (Princess Magaret) had received a CBE from Princess Anne, and they talked about The Crown,” he explained. “So, I knew she had watched it. So, I’m there being dubbed, and I stood up and I’m thinking she must be thinking, ‘You’re playing …

He isn’t left at home much since I work there, but at times we have returned home and he has tear tracks under his eyes as if he has been crying. melmelmel My dad was a dairy farmer. When the newborn calves were taken away from their mothers, there was a lot of bellowing from the mothers, sadly. And when the lambs are taken away from their mothers here in Scotland, the hills ring with baaing. MB My hunch is, based on a lifetime of observing cat behaviour, that moaning, whining and whimpering can easily be equated with crying. But since cats, like most animals and human infants, do not have the option of speech, we as adult humans must develop skills through experience that may allow us to ascertain whether the moan, whine, …

Legal analyst: Cannon just “quickly” gave Trump’s lawyers extension to “reply to their own motions”

Legal analyst: Cannon just “quickly” gave Trump’s lawyers extension to “reply to their own motions”

Published by skeptic

U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon on Monday granted Donald Trump’s lawyers an extension to reply to their own motions in the former president’s classified documents case, MSNBC’s Lisa Rubin reports. Trump’s lawyers on Monday cited Cannon’s slow pace in resolving the many pending motions they have submitted to request an extension to file reply briefs on their own motions to dismiss the case. His lawyers argued to the Trump appointee that they cannot file some of their briefs until Cannon rules on their motion to compel discovery and noted that they have to be in court in New York for Trump’s Manhattan criminal case on the day the briefs are due. Rubin noted that Trump asked Cannon to delay the deadline because of his Manhattan trial but hours later asked the judge in the New York case to adjourn the trial until after the Supreme Court rules on his presidential immunity appeal. “The Special Counsel made Cannon aware of that inconvenient fact. No matter; Cannon still granted the request (and quickly),” Rubin tweeted, noting that …

It’s in almost every pop song, but I have never heard anyone call the person dearest to them “Baby”. That said, I don’t live in Britain or the US. My father sometimes called my mother “Darling” and I have often heard “My dear” or just “Dear”. Jean Drummond-Young, Winterthur, Switzerland Send new questions to [email protected]. Readers reply I remember male friends using it affectionately in the US, as in: “Get your ass up to the bar and get those beers in, Pete Baby!” PeteTheBeat It’s quite simple when you think about it. Calling one’s partner Baby, as in so many songs and movies, is because unconsciously we think of the one we love in terms of procreation. In Plato’s Symposium, his dialogue on love, Socrates – who claims ignorance on matters of love – is informed by Diotima, his mystical muse, that apart from the highest rank of love, love of the beautiful and the good, the rank below is love of our partners for procreation. Which, as Plato tells us through Diotima’s words, is …
