The Ultimate Catfish

A youthful Japanese female motorbike rider has fooled thousands on social media after she was exposed as a 50-year-old man with long luscious hair.

The Japanese rider, who goes under the username @azusagakuyuki on Twitter, has gained a following of nearly 18,000 with life updates and photos dressed in a motorcycle jacket or posing with Yamaha bikes.

But eagle-eyed fans suspected something wasn’t right when a mirror image in one of the photos showed a different face.

A Japanese entertainment TV show managed to hunt down the author of the Twitter feed, discovering a middle-aged man was behind the images after he pulled his bike helmet off to expose himself in the ultimate catfish moment.

The man named Zonggu said he used photo editing apps such as FaceApp to make himself look like a younger attractive woman because he thought no one wanted to see an old uncle.

The pretty girl image gained him a multitude of fans, with some even assuming the girl in the photos just edited her photos to make herself more attractive.

However, her fan base began noticing unusual things in the pictures, including a masculine-looking hairy arm and a wing mirror reflection showing a man’s facial features.

The man said he turned to the face changing app because he wanted to get popularity on social media, as well as increase the engagement of his posts.

His impressive editing skills led to thousands of likes and hundreds of retweets on his posts, and he told the TV show he enjoyed the feeling of becoming an online celebrity.

Ironically it was the unveiling of his identity that went viral, with thousands of impressed people saying he did a magnificent job turning himself into such an attractive girl, and one man quipped that his hair was so luscious and that it was deserving of a clickbait.

Numerous women joked that the guy looked prettier than they did, while others described the catfish as next level, and one person wrote that everyone believed it, and it was the best catfish ever.

Meanwhile, dozens said they will never trust anything they see on social media, with one quipping that their trust issues have been upgraded.

At the end of the day, this person simply fed the world what they enjoy most, lies and fabrications, but clearly, this man had great ambition, but I think he was wrong in thinking that no one would have followed a 50-year-old biker on social media.

And I think that if we’ve learnt anything in the past four years under the Trump fiasco, is that people want to be lied to and duped, and it appears that people enjoy not only being deceived, lied to, and being made fools of, they thrive on it, and these days, you don’t know who is who, or what is what.

He simply gave people what they wanted to see, and people might be able to deceive us with photo editing on some face converter app, but it does make you wonder what the real face of Donald Trump is now, or anyone for that matter, but at least this guys hair was real, and he outplayed the system, and everyone has his or her faults, there’s no perfection in this life.

Porn Could Automatically Be Blocked On Phones

Conservative legislators in Utah have introduced a motion that would automatically block pornography on phones and tablets sold in the state, a move that critics have blasted as unconstitutional.

Governor Spencer Cox has not openly indicated if he backs the proposal, but a spokeswoman said he will carefully consider the measure before a March 25 deadline.

Supporters of the state senate proposal claim that restricting graphic material helps parents protect their children, many of whom have their own devices, and are consuming more time online during the coronavirus pandemic – adults would be able to turn off the filters if they choose.

Legislators in the majority Mormon state have previously ordered warning labels on pornography, declaring it a public health crisis in 2016, and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has railed against pornography in a conservative culture that sometimes considers mainstream magazines and lingerie catalogues offensive.

Phone manufacturers and retailers claimed filters would be too difficult to implement in a single state, and successfully lobbied for a provision that would only allow the proposal to be enforced if at least five other states follow suit.

If the bill is signed into law, Utah would be the first state to mandate filters on devices.

Federal constraints aimed at restricting children from viewing porn in the 1990s were struck down in the courts.

The National Centre on Sexual Exploitation said the bill would help parents who’ve had difficulty managing filters on their children’s devices.

Executive Director Dawn Hawkins said in a statement that Utah has passed a critical, common-sense solution to better protect vulnerable children from accessing objectionable pornographic content on phones and tablets.

Republican Rep. Susan Pulsipher, the bill’s sponsor said that a child that wants to find it and tries to would probably be able to still, but that it was just one step in the right direction, and Susan Pulsipher maintains the move doesn’t infringe free speech rights because adults can disarm the censors. However, some advocates disagree.

And Samir Jain, policy director at the Centre for Democracy and Technology, a Washington, DC-based Internet policy group said that you’ve got the state mandating the filtering of lawful content and that fosters immediate First Amendment Flags.

Samir Jain said that the wording of the bill could apply to any device ‘activated’ in Utah, meaning it could be used to track the location of anyone passing through the state.

Porn could also be classified as an addition that has destroyed countless marriages and relationships and could lead to more aberrant behaviours. Such as porn with young girls and children which makes a bundle of money for the human traffickers.

However, people can be addicted to anything from caffeine to sugar which are the biggest addictions in the United States – should people be barred from those for their own good as well? But of course, we shouldn’t be supporting children having access to porn, but then should children be allowed to have a phone unsupervised?

And Utah lawmakers want phones and tablets to be shipped with parental controls preconfigured to block porn because evidently, the legislators think that parents are far too stupid to set up parental controls themselves – to be fair, they might be right about the last bit.

This Is What COVID Has Done To My Body

Amy Durant, 31, from Surrey, has been ill with long-COVID since March 2020, and a review found that at least 10 per cent of people infected with COVID 19 have suffered symptoms for months and that this is more prevalent in women and children, but what does it feel like to go from being healthy to debilitating by long COVID.

Amy Durant first got coronavirus symptoms about 14 March last year, although she didn’t know where she’d caught it because she wasn’t going out that much and was being careful, so it was most probably the supermarket.

She said it was before the first lockdown, so people weren’t wearing masks, and the overall feeling was that it wasn’t that widespread in the population, especially outside of cities.

She said that she lives with two people who she believed were particularly vulnerable – her grandmother, 92, and her partner, who has type 1 diabetes, and she said that she was the only person in the house who she wasn’t concerned about as the narrative at the time was that if you were young, you were fine.

Amy said that as soon as her symptoms started, the typical high temperature, all over body pain, and later a cough, she was convinced it was COVID. Although she couldn’t get tested back then, and she was officially diagnosed in July with an antibody test, and she said that in her entire life as an adult she’d never had an illness with a high temperature, and that she didn’t get sick, and that she had no underlying conditions, but she was later diagnosed with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis where the immune system attacks the thyroid gland and causes inflammation, but she doesn’t know if it predated the COVID.

She said that when the symptoms began she asked her dad to come and pick her grandmother up to keep her safe. Sadly, she must have already have caught it from her because she and her dad came down with it a week later at his flat, although thankfully they both recovered quickly – her diabetic partner, who she continued to isolate with never exhibited any symptoms.

Amy said that the first few days she couldn’t get out of bed or eat anything, but that she was kind of expecting that, and she said that the acute symptoms lasted several days but that her breathing continued to be affected and her chest felt tight.

She tried to seek medical help but would just be on hold to 111 for hours, but then if you did get through they would ask what felt like ridiculous questions, such as “Can you concentrate on watching TV?”, and that if you said yes, then they would say you weren’t sick enough to be hospitalised – it was all pretty traumatic.

And it’s causing a lot of despair in communities of people with autoimmune diseases and functional neurological disorders who’ve struggled along for decades with no help and precious little recognition, who are now seeing the same symptoms getting tremendous attention – not because they begrudge the long-COVID victims the attention, far from it, they know the debilitating symptoms only too well, but because there’s been such stigma and lack of concern for comparable conditions for so long, but hopefully now there will be a sharper focus.

The good thing is that the attention benefits us all, with more exposure to the facts, more recognition, more research and more help, well, hopefully!

UK University Students Accuse COVID Patrol Police Of Harassment

Students at some UK campuses have accused their universities of giving police officers access to halls of residence to monitor for breaches of coronavirus rules, with some complaints of police entering accommodation in the middle of the night.

Students at Sheffield and Manchester who spoke to a news outlet reported regular police patrols and widespread use of penalties of up to £800 to circumvent repeating the major coronavirus outbreaks that transpired in autumn, now students are returning for the spring term.

Students at Sheffield and Manchester say they think that in some cases police officers may have received keys from university security to enter flats unannounced to check that students were not socialising with their neighbours, however, the universities have denied this.

One first-year student living in Froggatt Halls, which is run by the University of Sheffield, said that police have been patrolling the area in which several halls of residence are located every weekend, with her flat visited three times in the last month.

She said the first time was at 1.30 am and she was in bed. The door had been left on the latch, so the police officer came in and was pretty aggressive.

She said that across the hall she could see another police officer chatting to a girl alone in her flat, asking how many people lived there, but she said it was an invasion of privacy.

A student at the University of Leeds said the police had been given access to his accommodation block at about 4 pm one day in mid-February and knocked when he was watching TV with his housemates.

He said the guy asked who was in his flat and that he was pretty forceful and said that he came into the kitchen and said we were all taking the p*ss and the university had called them in to tell them it was their last chance.

A student rent strike group at the University of Sussex tweeted that students should video police entering their flats on their phones and take their badge numbers, as well as asking the reasons for their entry after a group received several reports of heavy-handed policing.

Students at the University of Manchester published a report with the police monitoring network Netpol, saying that multiple police cars patrol the Fallowfield campus every weekend.

The students, who run a campaign called Cops Off Campus, have used legal observer training from the activist group Green and Black Cross to gather testimonies suggesting that unlawful searches of students properties have occurred on numerous occasions, usually under the guise of noise complaints, even when flats are quiet.

However, it’s not implausible to think that some party-loving students may think it’s a great laugh to shop a fellow student who goes to bed early, but it’s also not implausible to think that some party-loving students may socialise in each other’s flats rather than strictly remaining in their own.

The police aren’t supposed to come into your home at any hour of the night while you’re sleeping, especially if they don’t have a warrant – is this even legal? And why would you even want to stay at a university when you’re treated like this? Especially when you’re paying loads of money to be educated there – go abroad and leave this authoritarian stinking cesspit of a country – they’d probably be so much better off.

And there’s going to be a massive mental health pandemic in years to come because you can’t treat young people like their in a concentration camp and expect them to be okay about it.

Moderna Commences COVID Vaccine Trials In Children

Moderna has started dosing patients in a mid to late-stage study of its COVID 19 vaccine in children aged six months to less than 12 years.

The study will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of two doses of its mRNA-1273 shot given 28 days apart and plans to enrol about 6,750 children in the United States and Canada.

A similar trial of the shot in children ages 12 to 17 is now underway and fully enrolled, as is one being conducted by Pfizer for children ages 12 and older.

If Moderna and Pfizer trials go well, middle and high school-aged children could get vaccinated by the fall, but with tests for younger children just beginning, they probably won’t get vaccinated until early next year.

Moderna’s vaccine has now been approved for emergency use in American’s 18 years and older, but children haven’t been of a high priority for vaccinations because they tend to get infected at lower rates, and COVID 19 rarely proves fatal for them.

More than 21 per cent of US adults have now had one or more doses of the coronavirus vaccine, and 11.5 per cent of the population is fully vaccinated.

In the early days of the rollout, officials were centred on the challenges of ramping up the vaccine stock and ensuring that the most at-risk people, ageing Americans, health care workers, and those with high-risk chronic conditions, got vaccinated first.

Now, as vaccines become more broadly available, experts have expressed concern that vaccine hesitancy could become a barrier to progress towards attaining herd immunity.

Dr Fauci and other public health officials estimated that at least 70 to 80 per cent of the US population needs to have immunity through vaccination or a previous infection to keep the virus from taking off again.

Numerous American’s seem reluctant to get vaccinated, or getting their children jabs, but this could become an essential tool for keeping the coronavirus at bay.

What’s more, an increasing percentage of schools across the country are reopening as the deadline for President Biden’s goal of getting children back to school within the first 100 days of his term approaches.

So far, children don’t seem to be significant vectors of the disease, but the more children are in contact with their peers and teachers, the more potential there will be for viral spread amongst them.

And there’s been a huge response towards these new vaccines and numerous people are extremely angry, so why is this one so different when people have been born into a world where an entire series of vaccines are compulsory for children, with many starting straight away after birth, and with these vaccinations, numerous dangerous communicable childhood diseases have been prevented for decades, so why would these new vaccines be a problem?

Vaccines are usually put under rigorous testing over several years. They’re tested and tested and then tested again to make sure there are no unfavourable side effects in people that are going to have the vaccination coursing through their veins.

But with the COVID 19 vaccines, people have no concept of what the side effects will be initially and over numerous years, and not many parents will allow their infants and young children to take part in what is a trial because the vaccine hasn’t been tested for long enough, and when it comes down to it, giving a child a vaccine that’s not been tested properly, and consciously allowing that equates to child abuse.

And now there’s evidently been COVID associated deaths, so far suspected in Europe. So, do we get the jab, or do we measure our odds against all eventualities?

Prince Philip Leaves Hospital

Prince Philip has left a London hospital following his longest ever stay and was expected to meet with the Queen at Windsor Castle.

The Duke of Edinburgh, who turns 100 in June, underwent surgery for a pre-existing heart condition and was also treated for an infection after being hospitalised a month ago on February 16.

He left the private King Edward VII’s Hospital in Marylebone, central London, in the back seat of a black BMW at around 10.30 am, after 28 nights as an in-patient, it’s believed Philip, the nation’s longest-serving consort, would meet with the Queen – the couple had been shielding together at Windsor Castle during the COVID 19 pandemic.

Privacy screens were set up to hide the duke as he appeared from a back door, but he was seen climbing into the vehicle and sitting in the back as the BMW drove off.

There was a heavy police and security presence as Philip was helped by the hospital and royal household staff.

Philip, who retired from royal duties in 2017 and has been hospitalised several times in recent years, was initially transported to King Edward VII’s Hospital by car on February 16, after feeling unwell at Windsor Castle.

Buckingham Palace described it as a precautionary measure and said he would be there for a few days of observation and rest. The Palace later said he was being treated for an infection, and on March 1, two weeks after being admitted, he was transferred to St Bartholomew’s Hospital in the City of London by ambulance.

He had a successful procedure on a pre-existing heart condition at St Bartholomew’s Hospital on March 3, before being transported back to King Edward’s to heal and to continue his treatment.

Concerns had been heightened for the duke because of his advanced age and amid troubled times for the royals.

The monarchy was plunged into crisis while Philip was in hospital following the shocking allegations of racism made by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex in their Oprah interview.

Harry and Meghan, who faced calls to delay the interview because Philip was ill, accused an unnamed royal, not the Queen nor the Duke, of raising concerns about what colour their son Archie’s skin tone would be before he was born.

Meghan Markle also told of how she pleaded for help when she was suicidal, but said that the institution gave her no support.

Prince Philip is now out of the hospital but he looks extremely fragile, but it’s pleasing that he’s come home to recuperate with his wife, the Queen, and now hopefully they’ll have some time together.

Archie, Meghan And Harry To Dodge Facing The Cleaver In Prince Charles Slimmed Down Monarchy Plan

Prince Charles, 71, is second in line to the throne and the longest royal in waiting to reign, and according to royal expert Rebecca English, the Duke of Cornwall is believed to have been planning to decrease the number of serving members of the Royal Family to optimise the number of duties carried out and costs, but despite a smaller family, Harry and his family will still be an essential part of that.

And talking to Palace Confidential on MailPlus, Rebecca English said that it’s history. George V laid down some rules and regulations which said that the only family to the direct heir to the throne would be passed down through the male line, and would be allowed to be able HRH’s and Prince and Princesses.

He said the simple fact is that as Harry’s son, Archie was not entitled to be an HRH or Prince when he was born unless they asked the Queen to issue a patent to make a point of making him one, and we were strongly notified at the time that the Sussexes were cool with this.

They wanted Archie to be master Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor and to able to live a life, if so he wanted, like Zara and Peter Phillips and not conflated with the issues of security.

Rebecca English added that Meghan said quite clearly that the only reason she wanted Archie to be a prince was that came with a level of security and that it would keep her child safe. But the point that had been made to her was that he was seventh in line to the throne, so he was always going to be entitled to security as a member of the Royal Family – that wasn’t an issue.

And even though the Prince of Wales wants to slim down the monarchy in the future, Harry and his family will always be an essential part of that, and he will have always been protected inside the confines of the Royal Family.

It came as Meghan Markel suggested it was her son Archie Mountbatten-Windsor’s birthright to be a prince and the decision not to give him a title went against convention, and she said she was upset at being told he wouldn’t get security and the thought of him not being safe, and she said she wanted him to have the title so he could have police protection.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex revealed to Oprah Winfrey that they married three days before their Windsor Castle wedding service was viewed by millions, although it has prompted confusion as to which was the official union.

Meghan Markle also suggested that the decision was taken because of Archie’s race, and she said that she was upset at the idea of the first member of colour in the family, not being titled in the same way that other grandchildren would be, and she added that it wasn’t their right to take it away.

Oprah Winfrey asked in the televised tell-all if she thought it was because of Archie’s race.

Meghan replied that in those months when she was pregnant, all around the same time, they had discussions about Archie not being given security, and that he wasn’t going to be given a title, and also concerns and discussions about how dark his skin might be when born.

AstraZeneca Concerns Throw Europe’s Vaccine Rollout Into Deeper Chaos

Germany, France, Italy and Spain became the latest countries to suspend the use of the vaccine even as a third wave of the pandemic threatens the continent.

As a third wave of the pandemic crashes over Europe, questions about the safety of one of the continent’s most commonly available vaccines led Germany, France, Italy and Spain to provisionally suspend its use on Monday, and the stoppages created even further turmoil in vaccination rollouts even as new coronavirus variants proceed to increase.

The decisions followed reports that a handful of people who had received the vaccine, made by AstraZeneca, had developed lethal brain haemorrhages and blood clots.

The company has staunchly defended its vaccine, saying that there’s no indication of enhanced risk of blood clots or haemorrhages among the more than 17 million people who’ve received the shot in the European Union and the United Kingdom.

AstraZeneca said in a statement that they were working with national health authorities and European officials and looked forward to their assessment later this week.

The timing of the stay in vaccinations by some of Europe’s largest countries, which followed a flurry of comparable actions by Denmark, Norway and numerous others, could not have been worse.

Europe’s vaccine rollouts already linger far behind those in Britain and the United States, and there’s a dawning awareness that much of the continent is suffering a third influx of infections.

Leading immunologists fretted on Monday that the decision by several of Europe’s leading countries to omit the use of AstraZeneca would make vaccination efforts even harder by emboldening vaccine heretics in countries where they’re particularly entrenched.

The European Medicines Agency and the World Health Organisation recommended against a departure from vaccines that would undermine rollout efforts at a pivotal moment, and the World Health Organisation, chief scientist Soumya Swaminathan, said at a news conference, adding that no link had been discovered between the clotting disorders reported in some nations and COVID 19 shots.

A World Health Organisation advisory committee plan to meet to review the vaccine.

The European Medicines Agency (EMA), said on Monday that they would continue to examine a possible link between the AstraZeneca shots and blood clots or bleeding in the brain, but the agency said numbers of such problems reported in vaccinated people didn’t seem higher than those normally observed in the general populace.

Germany, for example, recorded seven instances of a rare cerebral vein thrombosis out of 1.6 million people who received the vaccine there.

The great global problem here is that these vaccines were not properly tested, and it appears that these pharmaceutical companies are not using the vaccine to solve the disease but to treat the symptoms and I fear that all contradictions will be visible in a few months or years.

And will there now be a concern for those who have a predisposition to blood clots from their parents who died from thrombosis, and should this be pause for thought?

Enough Is Enough

In Melbourne, Australia. wearing black and clutching signs reading “enough is enough”, thousands took to the streets across Australia to oppose violence and discrimination against women, as a reckoning in the country’s halls of power sparked by multiple allegations of rape continued to grow.

The organisers said that the marches in at least 40 cities represented an overflow of outrage from women about a problem that has gone unaddressed for too long, and it was estimated that 110,000 people attended the protests nationwide.

With the next national election possibly coming as early as August, experts say it’s something that the conservative government, which has come under stinging criticism for the way it’s handled the accusations, ignores at its own peril.

The public outrage in Australia over violence against women came as thousands in London joined demonstrations over the killing of 33-year-old Sarah Everard, who vanished while walking home at night.

In Australia, the message to the government was that there were enormous numbers of women throughout the country that have had enough, quite frankly, of their shocking response to sexual assault and harassment, said Janine Hendry, the main organiser of the marches, who said they want change and they want it now.

In Canberra, Australia’s capital, the police estimated that 5,000 to 6,000 demonstrators assembled on the lawn outside Parliament House, where legislators met.

Brittany Higgins, a former political aide whose allegation that she was raped in Parliament House in 2019 rocked the nation’s halls of power and provoked marches, appeared at the Canberra demonstration.

She said there was a horrible societal acceptance of sexual violence in Australia, and she said that her story was on the front page for the sole reason that it was a stinging warning to women that if it can happen in Parliament House, it could happen anywhere.

She said she felt that she’d been treated like a political problem after she made her allegation to co-workers in the governing centre-right Liberal Party and that she was raped inside Parliament House by a co-worker, and for so long it felt like the people around her only cared because of where it occurred and what it might mean for them.

On the other side of the doors of Parliament House, Prime Minister Scott Morrison attracted jeers from the opposition Labour Party but then refused to join the demonstrations and instead invited a small gathering of organisers to meet with him in his office.

But violence against women will continue, even with every demonstration that lingers, and it’s shocking, and Australia needs much more effective law in their country, and it’s far time politicians supported a stronger Bill.

The issue of discrimination is gender, and it should be looked into because every human is equal by nature and should be treated equally, and we should be respecting our opposite gender.

Perhaps Scott Morrison needs to quit because enough is enough, and I’m sure the Australian people won’t be quelled.

Cars Set Alight And Painted With Discriminatory Graffiti

Four cars were torched and painted in racist graffiti at a car dealership garage in Midlothian, Scotland.

Police are treating the attack that took place in the early hours of the morning at Loanhead Car Sales as a hate crime.

The vehicles, including two vans, were set alight after being covered with discriminatory words at the car dealership – the alarm was raised and emergency services attended the scene.

Speaking to a news outlet, business co-owner Rajvir Singh Janjua is now calculating the cost with some £30,000 worth of damage done.

He said that this was a hate crime, and that they’d written those words just to be racist, and that he was disgusted and he just didn’t know why anyone would ever do anything like that.

According to Janjua, the business was subject to another racist attack in August 2018.

Reports suggest the incident took place about 5.10 am with Police Scotland adding there were no injuries, and as inquiries continue, Detective Constable John Lumsden said that due to the racist graffiti on the vehicles, they were currently treating it as a hate crime.

He continued that they were appealing to anyone who may have been driving in the area at the time of the incident to get in touch if they had any information or dashcam footage that might help them with their investigation.

This is a shocking thing that has happened, and hopefully, the perpetrators will be caught, and thankfully no one got injured, but also the point is, people are still denying the existence of racism in the United Kingdom, and clearly, racists don’t have much in the way of high intelligence.

Not enough is being done in both schools and by the government to combat racism because there’s so much focus on other matters which don’t even come close to the level of racism in the United Kingdom.

Most ‘Indian’ restaurants are in the United Kingdom now, which are normally Pakistani or Bangladeshi, and yet we see fit to eat in them or get the odd takeaway meal, so it just proves how widespread ignorance is.

And now most schools should educate on other cultures and religions because it would teach our children about not being racist, and treating everyone the same, but then living in a culture exploded society, now we should be able to differentiate Sikh, Muslin, Pakistani, Indian and Bangladeshi, but sometimes education is the environment as well.

Racists are as mad as hatters, and they haven’t accomplished anything except being born with low levels of melatonin, and they just hate, but maybe it’s because they can see 1st and 2nd generation immigrants achieve more than they’ve ever done in their sad little lives. Yet the Home Secretary says there’s no racism in the United Kingdom, but then there was a time when white business was painted with discriminatory graffiti.

And now it looks like our civilisation is collapsing, and being civil has gone.
