I don't need this bra! It's so restrictive, oppressive
(Saturday Night Live) Weekend Update: National No Bra Day; the price of the American Dream rises to $5 million; oldest men in the country
Do I really need any underwear?
No Bra Day is an annual observance on October 13th when women are encouraged to go braless as a means to encourage breast cancer awareness.
No Bra Day was initially observed on July 9, 2011, but within three years it had moved to the 13th day of the National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which is October.
Users on social media are encouraged to post using the hashtag #nobraday to promote awareness of breast cancer symptoms and to encourage gender equality.
Some users on social media sites also encourage women to post pictures of themselves not wearing a bra.
Some women embrace No Bra Day as a political statement, whereas others prefer the comfort of discarding what they view as a restrictive, uncomfortable garment.
The observance has spread worldwide. The event was spun off a medical event in Toronto, Canada, that encourages breast cancer survivors to consider reconstructive surgery.
I'm the new Parton. I should be spokesperson
First held on October 19th, 2011, the medical event was named BRA (Breast Reconstruction Awareness) Day. It was adapted by an anonymous individual who conceived of No Bra Day as a way to encourage women to enjoy being braless and to become knowledgeable about breast cancer symptoms.
The day is controversial as some see it as sexualizing and exploiting women's bodies while at the same time belittling a serious disease. More
(Hollywood Chuckles) 18 minutes of Sydney Sweeney and Aubrey Plaza making everyone
Free the nipple is a topfreedom campaign created in 2012 during pre-production of a 2014 film of the same name [1, 2]. The campaign highlights the general convention of allowing males to appear topless in public while considering it sexual, suggestive, or indecent for females to do the same and asserts that this difference is discriminatory, contravening women's rights. The campaign argues that it should be legally and culturally acceptable for women to bare their nipples (a mammalian feature everyone has) in public [3]. More

Yehuda Shimon wants IDF soldiers and violent settler-occupiers to MURDER all Arab and non-Jewish babies in Palestine? Is this in accordance with Ashkenazi Jewish dietary customs of keeping kosher and offering the preferred infant blood sacrifice to Yahweh, Molech, Baal, and the Demiurge?
Christian Zionists stand for genocide in Israel
(The Jimmy Dore Show) Jewish Israeli lawyer Yehuda Shimon has sparked a viral debate after calling for the COMPLETE genocide (ethnic cleansing, the war crime of indiscriminate wholesale slaughter of a people and noncombatants for being who they are) of any survivors in Gaza because he says one [Ashkenazi] Jewish life is equivalent to 10 million Palestinian lives. An eye for an eye, except one eye means blind 5 million in God-approved revenge.
The reporter, in disbelief, counters, "That just sounds racist." Shimon acknowledges, "Yes, I know [so what if we are? We have a right to be! For too long the world has mistreated us and sent us away, so now it's payback time, and we start with this desert and expand it out into a Jewish Empire that rules the world, like that Mr. Hitler planned, as we gobble up Lebanon, Syria, Egypt, Iran, Jordan, Iraq, UAE, and of course Saudi Arabia, but why stop there? With the help of our CIA, Mossad, and Shin Bet, we can have the whole world]."

"Today he is a baby, tomorrow he is a fighter," Jewish Rabbi Eliyahu Mali, head of the occupiers' (settlers') yeshiva school in illegally occupied by Jews Jaffa, incited his students forcibly drafted and serving in the Israeli Occupation Forces (IDF), to kill everyone in Gaza, including and especially babies, preferably by beheading, which is the way the local Tribal God likes and demands it. He referenced alleged Jewish "principles of [genocide] war," stating, "The law -- no soul shall live. If you don't kill them, they will kill you."

When asked if babies were included, he responded, "Same, shoot them [like Nazis did to European Jews during the Holocaust that we can never again let happen, at least not to us again, because this only applies to the Chosen People, God's Chosen, us, the best and smartest people in the world with the highest IQs and not at all racist or elitist about it, except, well, humble brag, you know, we all know it, so the Goyim better start to accept it because Greater Israel, Eretz Yisrael is coming, and when we are the Master Race, no Palestinian shall live and no Gentile who opposes us or stands in our way, so help us God, the All-Merciful God of the Old Testament, except don't read the Book of Judges or that gives the whole story away. All hail, Bibi!]
NEMOPHILA takes over The Glass House in the Pomona Arts Colony (next to the Fox Theater Pomona), Los Angeles County, on Tuesday, July 14, 8:00 pm. The cost of attending the future Babymetal overlords in Los Angeles is $25 (DOS) or $39.87 (full price in advance, no surprises later).
Female fronted Mortalis opened, but they need a lot more practice. The drummer was struggling, the singer was nervous, and... what can be said that they don't already know? Next was Islander, which was a significant improvement with the metalcore growling for every song and real guitarwork, though between bands we left and worked our way into neighboring all-ages nightclub The Haven to see A November Morning (a kind of early Job for a Cowboy). The sign at the door clearly says, "No Crowd Killing, Moshing, Slamming, Mosh Pit, Crowd Surfing, or expressions of aggression," the floor was cleared by berserkers doing the tornado with fists, feet, and cartwheels, practicing their karate high kicks. It was all well and good until the young girl with bone earrings in the striped suspenders got kicked in the face and had to be taken out crying, bleeding, and lamenting her choice to participate in the ultraviolence. But A November Morning and the other acts on the bill were good, so good it delayed us returning to the Glasshouse to continue the show. Eventually, we had to and, boy, was it worth it! Nemophila are fantastic.
We love that crazy Disney plush toy fish?
First, what's with the name? Like the unspeakable act known as necrophilia, "love of corpses," the band loves (philia) Nemo from Finding Nemo? Maybe they meant Nemo'tode.
It's not a gimmick. There's very little "hard rock" about it, except that the singer has clearly listened to a lot of Iron Maiden. This is aggressive metal core in the vein of Hanabie. (shown above) and the goddesses that are Babymetal. But every song was solid, as they were coming off of an 11-stop North American tour that started in Chicago, hit New York, and crawled its way to LA. These are future stars with tremendous drumming talent, no ego, young girls who dress more like Billie Eilish or Tokyo schoolgirls than the rockstars they already are. The rhythm section just kept chugging along non-stop. It was amazing. And how the singer, who must weigh all of 80 pounds, can keep that Chester Bennington yell going song after song, tour stop after tour stop, boggles the mind. The highlight was when each member got the mic to speak their love of LA in very broken English. The first few songs were marred by technical issues, no fault of the band, that the club couldn't seem to fix. So they had to delay the show and turn on the lights. In the meantime, the singer got on her phone, seeming to make a call to her mom in Japan about how it was going, but actually using a translation app to explain to the audience that these technical issues were no fault of theirs and please be patient. She later read a speech to the audience that must have taken her hours to compose on the tour bus with a thesaurus. The audience -- mostly white and Latino, older with lots of dads and grandpas, with an unusually high number of teenybopper Asians and their guardian chaperones for an extreme metal show, and not a single Black person -- loved it, chanted along, and after the fifth song broke into a continuous circle pit of appreciation. Watch out, Black Pink and Katseye, these gals are coming.

On Friday's "Stay or Go" segment of KLOS' (95.5 FM)The Heidi and Frank Show, there was a big surprise when power duo and twin sisters Dianthvs (dianthvsmusic.net, pronounced /die-ann-tuss/) broke out with a mash of grindcore and Evanescence vocals. One sister plays the guitar, the other is a drum impresario, and both sing. It's hard to believe so much sound and noise are coming from two dainty gals from Riverside. They will be playing at Revelry Brewing in Temecula on Aug. 1, 2026.
Dianthvs is a Southern California progressive metalcore band led by twin sisters Jessica and Jackie Parry. They fuse classical piano roots, moody atmospherics, and crushing heaviness (drums and metal guitar) into a sound that blurs beauty and brutality. Jackie is on lead vocals and guitar, while percussionist Jessica holds down the backing vocals and drumming duties.
Haley Bennett, in what was only her third audition [11], won the role of Jewish American popstar "Cora Corman" [Korman] for her film debut in the 2007 romantic comedy Music and Lyrics[15]. She sang several songs for the film's soundtrack, including the super sexified (Hollywood vulgar but catchy) hit "Buddha's Delight," having been possessed by a devi (celestial "shining one") or earthbound asuraprincess ("demoness," "cast out shining one")..

According to zoo prison officials, Panchi-kun's internet popularity led to a surge in visitors to the zoo starting in February 2026 [4]. More
At the dawn of human (pre-)history, what did our ancestors do to stay warm in the Ice Age?
Maybe the strange form of Buddhism that thrives in Japan due to the preexisting practice of Shintoism (kami veneration cults), like Babymetal's "Fox God," explains the form of Zen (Chan Buddhism) and Nicherin Buddhism on the powerful island.
When Buddhism reached the Far East, its Zen architecture evolved to an extraordinary level of perfection—one that seamlessly harmonizes with the elements of nature. In Japan, it encountered the ancient world of the kami, the spiritual forces of animistic Shintoism. This meeting gave rise to a unique architectural fusion—a never-before-seen blend of sacred styles, where Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines began to echo one another, reflecting a profound spiritual and cultural syncretism.

Sex robots or "sexbots" are anthropomorphic [human-like] robotic sex dolls that have human-like movements or behaviors and some degree of artificial intelligence [1][2].
As of 2025, although elaborately instrumented sex dolls have been created by a number of inventors, no fully animated sex robots yet exist.
Simple devices have been created which can speak, make facial expressions, or respond to touch [3][4] and even carry babies to term if they get pregnant.
I blame myself...and Hollywood
There is controversy as to whether developing them would be morally justifiable [5][6].
In 2015, robot ethicist Kathleen Richardson called for a ban on the creation of anthropomorphic sex robots with concerns about normalizing relationships with machines and reinforcing female dehumanization [7][8][9].
Questions about their ethics, effects, and possible legal regulations have been discussed since then.

Human people [as distinct from the nonhuman people/AI robots will one day no doubt be referred to] who are sexually attracted to sexbots are sometimes referred to as digisexuals [10] or robosexuals [11][12].
A person in "love" with a purchased vibrating phallic device is just called a nymphomaniac by the medical profession and a horndog or slamhound in the vernacular.
Sexbots with a male shape design may be referred to as malebots [13] or manbots [14]. Gender neutral terms for sex robots include pleasure bot [15] or sex droid [16].
Sexbots with a female shape design have been referred to as chick-bots [17] or fembots [18] or b*tchbots in some unsavory circles. More:sex robot
