🇬🇧 Teachers tell schoolboys that 'displaying traditional gendered roles in a family' could lead to them committing RAPE: Almost a third of schools use relationship and sex education classes to tell kids about 'toxic masculinity'
Teachers are telling schoolboys that displaying traditional gendered roles in a family could lead to them committing rape, a bombshell report has claimed.
The report from the Family Education Trust (FET) found that almost a third of schools that it surveyed use relationship and sex education classes to teach pupils about 'toxic masculinity'.
In one schools' teaching materials on the subject, children are told that while masculinity 'in and itself is not necessarily a harmful thing' certain masculine traits can be be seen as 'problematic'.
Another presents a 'pyramid of sexual violence', which suggests that certain minor behaviours such as 'displaying traditional gendered roles' may develop into other examples of 'gender-based violence' such as flashing, groping and even rape.
The FET said that such lessons are teaching pupils about a 'problematic new ideology' that presents the idea that 'boys and men possess traits that are inherently negative for society'.
💀🗣 Meta infects city's water system with drug-resistant superbug
A Meta contractor building a massive 66.4k square-meter data center in Cheyenne, Wyoming, has been caught dumping Cupriavidus gilardii bacteria into the city's municipal sewer system.
🌏 Resistant to antibiotics — including standard and emergency drugs used to treat severe, life-threatening bacterial infections — the bug is opportunistic, targeting immunocompromised patients: people with severe illnesses, those undergoing medical treatment, and the elderly. It causes severe pneumonia, lung infections, and blood poisoning
🌏 There are no official, standardized treatment guidelines for Cupriavidus gilardii, with treatment typically requiring complex, multidisciplinary, expensive, and highly personalized therapy
🌏 Given the dangers stemming from the bacteria, Cheyenne's public utilities board may have been surprised to detect it in the city's wastewater
🌏 What's not clear is why the incident, which took place in ...

🔎 🇺🇸 🚗 Flock Safety’s AI cameras are scanning 20 billion license plates every month, giving police the power to track any vehicle’s movements across cities and jurisdictions in seconds.
The system doesn’t just read plates — it logs color, make, model, and details like bumper stickers or gun racks, then stores everything in a searchable cloud database.
Police can reconstruct travel history, set alerts, and pull data from other agencies. The company says it played a role in about 1 million arrests last year and many police chiefs call it their most impactful tool ever.
But this mass data collection is sparking a major backlash over privacy and the 4th Amendment. Critics argue it’s indiscriminate surveillance of everyone’s movements — not targeted policing — creating a permanent dragnet of innocent drivers without warrants.
Flock claims no facial recognition is used and data is deleted after 30 days by default, with some safeguards in place. This may be true ...
