I recently got into with a friend of mine who couldn't believe that I would go to a concert by myself. I had tickets to see Billy Joel at Madison Square Garden, but unfortunately, my wife found out the day before she had an emergency at work and wasn't going to be able to go. So I said, no problem, and I went by myself. I sold her ticket online and had a fantastic time at the show! It was amazing! Anyway, my friend said he couldn't believe that I would go alone and why didn't I offer the ticket to friends. I said I knew I would have a great time by myself so why not save a little money and still enjoy the show. He couldn't understand how I could have fun alone. He said I was "one of the weird ones" I disagree. I think lots of people enjoy time alone. I've don...

Italy welcomes baby to parliament for first time

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:44:23 GMT

A baby took a seat in the Italian parliament for the first time ever on Wednesday (7 June), when lawmaker Gilda Sportiello breastfed her son Federico in the Chamber of Deputies, triggering a round of applause from fellow members.The event would be more commonplace in many countries, but was underlined by the acting lower-house speaker in traditionally male-dominated Italy."It's the first time, with the backing of all parties. Best wishes to Federico for a long, free, and peaceful life," said Giorgio Mule as he chaired the parliamentary session."Now we'll speak quietly."In November last year a parliamentary rules panel gave the go-ahead to women lawmakers to enter the chamber with their children and breastfeed them up to the age of one."Too many women stop breastfeeding ahead of time, not by choice, but rather because they are forced to return to the workplace," said Sportiello, from the left-leaning 5-Star Movement.Giorgia Meloni took office in October as Italy's first woman prime m...

Review: Life as a lesbian in Margaret Thatcher’s Britain

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:44:23 GMT

By Lindsey Bahr | Associated PressA high school gym teacher grappling with her sexual identity is challenged on both a micro and macro level in 1988 England in ” Blue Jean,” a quietly complex portrait of compartmentalization and self-actualization.In October 1987, British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher gave a speech in which she bemoaned the state of education and said that “Children who need to be taught to respect traditional moral values are being taught that they have an inalienable right to be gay.” This was just part of her critique of the state of education and the agenda of “extremist teachers” pushing “political slogans” and “anti-racist mathematics” who are cheating children out of a “sound start in life.” By May of 1988, a law was passed (Section 28) that would “prohibit the promotion of homosexuality” and would remain in effect in some form until 2003. Don’t worry if the law doesn...
