PBS Hosts ‘Zionist’ to Defend Protesters, Call Trump McCarthyite Danger to Jews

Monday’s edition of Amanpour & Co., which airs on PBS and CNN International, was hosted by regular show fill-in Bianna Golodryga, who is probably even more bluntly liberal than the formidable Christiane Amanpour herself.

The opener teased the upcoming interview with Kenneth Stern, self-styled anti-semitism expert at the Bard Center for the Study of Hate, with his hostile thoughts on the Trump administration’s attempt to protect Jewish students on college campuses via cutting off funding to schools that refuse to clamp down on pro-Hamas hatred.

Chicken nuggets grown in lab for first time

Japanese scientists have grown chicken nuggets in a lab in a world first.

They invented a process that mimics blood vessels to allow cells to grow in layers of muscle tissue, in a breakthrough that could finally lead to realistic engineered meat.

Currently, lab-grown chicken is made using sheets of cells less than 1mm thick that then need to be processed into something resembling meat, or minced, leading to an unrealistic texture.

The Blue Origin lady spaceflight was desperate, sad and tasteless

I was determined to write something positive about Blue Origin’s “historic all-female spaceflight.” The spectacle was an all-American underdog story. Jeff Bezos worked his way up from dorky book salesman to buff billionaire who can launch his busty bride-to-be into space alongside some celebrities — because hey, why not?

Then I saw the group photos of the girl gang, and I just couldn’t. My resolve dissolved faster than the lip fillers in Khloé Kardashian’s fake face. All I could think was, “Vanity of vanities! All things are vanity!”

Racially charged row between Musk and South Africa over Starlink

The tussle between Starlink boss Elon Musk and South Africa over the company’s failure to launch in the country stems from the nation’s black empowerment laws, and could be one factor behind the diplomatic row between the US and Africa’s most industrialised nation.

To his more than 219 million followers on his social media platform X, Mr Musk made the racially charged claim that his satellite internet service provider was “not allowed to operate in South Africa simply because I’m not black“.

But the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (Icasa) – a regulatory body in the telecommunications and broadcasting sectors – told the BBC that Starlink had never submitted an application for a licence.
