On Friday afternoon, President Joe Biden gave remarks commemorating pride month and celebrating “the LGBTQ+ community,” though at times he did slip up and began with the “LBT” instead of the LGBT”
Biden was introduced by Ashton Mota, a 16-year old who claimed to be transgender when only a 12-year old.
Two researchers who found that the collapsed Miami-Dade condo building was sinking for years before it crumbled to the ground Thursday had identified several other areas of the city that had similar subsidence issues, according to a study published last year.
A new gelato business, celebrating opening its first shop in Toronto, is being targeted with negative reviews because it is from Israel.

The editorial timing at Berkeley News — UC Berkley’s in-house media service — really couldn’t have been more perfect. There I was at my desk last Thursday, struggling to find a newsy intro for my Junk Science Week submission on sex-spectrum pseudoscience. And then, as if on cue, my news aggregator popped out the headline: Truly Changing Sex Is Possible, Says Berkeley Trans Scholar Grace Lavery.
President Biden’s topic was one of utmost importance Wednesday — crime and gun violence. But you wouldn’t know it from the way he spoke.
He slurred his words. He called the ATF “the AFT.” At one point, he talked about the history of the Second Amendment and “the blood of patriots” before concluding that someone would need nuclear weapons to take down the government. If you weren’t confused, you were horrified.
In case you're more confused after watching Biden try to understand the Constitution here, I'll help you out: the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. pic.twitter.com/qhuQxDMDHx

An upcoming horror movie based on the ‘Karen’ slur used against white women received heavy criticism this week after a new trailer dropped.
‘Karen’, directed by Coke Daniels, stars Taryn Manning as the titular ‘Karen’ who terrorizes an African-American family – played by Cory Hardrict and Jasmine Burke – that moves into the neighborhood.
It has been confirmed that biological male Laurel Hubbard will be competing in women’s weightlifting at the Tokyo Olympics. It will mark the beginning of the end of women’s sports on the world stage.
Hubbard, a 43-year-old man who began to identify as a woman at the age of 35, will represent New Zealand in Tokyo next month. Hubbard is eleven years older than the recorded age of the next oldest qualifier, American Sarah Robles. Hubbard may not medal, but the reality is that this shouldn’t have happened regardless. Hubbard surely would not have qualified if not for being a biological male.
