ASLEF calls strike on September 30

The union announced the new train strikes for Saturday, September 30 and Wednesday, October 4 on Friday (September 15).

As well as the two further days of action, they also imposed an overtime ban across the whole rail network on Friday 29 September and from Monday 2 to Friday 6 October.

“The strike will force the train operating companies to cancel all services and the ban on overtime will seriously disrupt the network,” ASLEF said.

They added that the privatised train companies “have always failed to employ enough drivers to provide a proper service”.

“The service they promise passengers, businesses, and the government they will deliver – without asking drivers to work their rest days.”

The RMT hasn’t announced any further rail strikes when writing this.

What train companies are affected?

The strike will affect 16 train companies across Britain:

• Avanti West Coast
• Chiltern Railways
• c2c
• CrossCountry
• East Midlands Railway
• Greater Anglia
• GTR Great Northern Thameslink
• Great Western Railway
• Island Line; LNER
• Northern Trains
• Southeastern
• Southern
• Gatwick Express
• South Western Railway
• TransPennine Express
• West Midlands Trains

‘Forced into this position’

ASLEF’s general secretary Mick Whelan said the union has “been forced into” the new round of strikes as its workers still have not received a pay rise.

“While we regret having to take this action – we don’t want to lose a day’s pay, or disrupt passengers, as they try to travel by train – the government, and the employers, have forced us into this position,” he said.

“Our members have not, now, had a pay rise for four years – since 2019 – and that’s not right when prices have soared in that time. Train drivers, perfectly reasonably, want to be able to buy now what they could buy four years ago.”

He is calling the Secretary of State for Transport Mark Harper to “come out of hiding” – claiming he hasn’t heard anything from a minister since January.

Posts claim Crocs are banned at airports

One Twitter post says: “Crocs are now banned at airports, malls & railway stations for getting stuck in escalators.”

“Crocs have been banned from escalators in some airports, train stations and shopping centres after a series of scary incidents,” another tweet adds.

A third says: “Many places like airports, train stations, and malls have now banned them on escalators with posted warnings.”

Are Crocs banned at airports?

No, Crocs are not being banned from airports or other public places such as train stations and shopping centres.

The rumor is completely fake and no airports across the world have announced a ban on wearing the popular shoes.

However, you do need to be very careful when wearing Crocs on escalators as the shoes do pose an injury risk.

A 2006 report from ABC warned that kids wearing Crocs were having their feet sucked into the side of escalators.

Be careful with Crocs on escalators

In 2017, a British boy lost a toe after his foot got caught in an escalator while wearing a pair of Crocs while on holiday in Dubai.

Five-year-old Stanley Wood from Bromley got his shoe caught in the metal and had to get hospital treatment.

Sadly, doctors were not able to save part of his toe, and he also lost his plantar ligament which connects the big toe to the calf. 

A similar thing happened in June 2023 when a six-year-old girl’s Crocs shoes got trapped in an escalator at Manchester’s Trafford Centre.

She was shopping with her mother at Primark when the metal ‘grabbed’ the shoe. Thankfully, she managed to pull her foot out just in time.

‘AITA for being my nephew’s first word’

The viral ‘AITA for being my nephew’s first word’ post begins with the writer explaining that his brother has a 15-year-old baby that he regularly babysits.

He works on a dairy farm and the baby often goes to work with him. They spend a lot of time together and the infant loves the animals.

The child’s parents have been trying to get him to say his first words for a while now, but haven’t had any luck.

“We were all over at my parents house for a Sunday get together and I was sitting playing blocks with my nephew, he suddenly looks up at me and starts going B B B B B BE BE,” he says.

“I thought it was just normal baby talk then he gets more aggressive repeating those letters over and over again. Then he starts going N N N N N, he then shouts BEN and points at me.”

The Reddit user’s brother and wife then started yelling at him saying he was coaching the baby and being selfish.

“They immediately pick him up and my brother yells at me ‘You took away his first word that was supposed to be our moment’,” the post continued.

Everyone is really mad

Even the writer’s parents think he’s in the wrong for teaching the baby his name, but he insists that he didn’t do it on purpose.

“The only time he hears my name is when anyone else says it. They think i should apologise to my sister in law for ruining why should have been a mothers special moment,” he explains.

The Reddit user then adds that she doesn’t act like much of a mother anyway and he looks after her son five days a week.

Reddit says he’s not the problem

Reddit users are all in agreement that the guy is NTA (not the a**hole) and are reassuring him that he didn’t do anything wrong.

One person wrote: “You have the kid five days a week. Of course he’ll bond with you and it’s not surprising he said your name. You’re the one raising him.”

“LOL… ‘took away his first word’ oh that’s a good one! That’s not how it works. Brother & SIL need to chill out & take care of their own kid,” another said.

A third person added: “I don’t know how you could possibly be TA, you didn’t do anything. Babies start talking to communicate what they want, and you spend quality time with him, so he wanted you.”

“NTA. My son’s first word was bird. I doubt the cardinal outside his window was coaching him,” another joked.

UFO in Romania is nothing like you’ve ever seen before

An unverified picture on X, formerly Twitter, claims to show an unidentified object allegedly spotted in Romania.

At first, it looks like a scene from a fantasy film as the supposed UFO appears to be tearing through the sky.

The disc-shaped object emits bright light from below while the actual body is hidden behind the clouds.

The original source of the photo isn’t known and the alleged sighting in question wasn’t reported or spotted by other residents. So, it’s hard to determine if there’s any truth to the unverified picture.

Users argue the picture is fake

Social media users aren’t willing to believe the picture of the so-called UFO in Romania is real. A significant number of them have called it fake or edited.

“I don’t think it’s from a movie but I do think it’s photoshopped,” said one.

Another said: “They have really good hologram stuff now. they can project it into the clouds.”

“I vote FAKE! lol.,” said another.

One user added: “I know it’s not aliens.”

Reports on ‘aliens’ are on the rise

The growing speculations about aliens are met with the intervention of UFO investigators, researchers, and a study by NASA to ensure the public is aware of the misconceptions stemming from baseless claims.

However, some sightings and reports remain unexplained to date. Below are a couple of stories about “aliens” that’ll make you question your beliefs.

‘AITA for abruptly cutting my ex-fiance out’

The post begins with a 25-year-old man explaining that he met his ex-fiancé in his first year of college. They were both 18 and fell in love pretty quickly.

“We had a really good relationship. It’s the kind of relationship that everyone wishes they were in. The kind of relationship that people idolized,” he wrote.

For the purpose of the post, he called her Ashley, and said she was everything he was looking for in a woman.

They built a life together and lived happily, but things all went wrong when he asked her to marry him. She said yes but things started to change.

Over the next few months, she became more distanced and kept going out clubbing and drinking with her friends at the weekends.

He got a text last week from one of her friends saying she feels “super guilty” about the distance and is worried about getting married.

“She feels that she hasn’t had a chance to explore other options and the prospect of getting ‘locked down’ for life made her really anxious,” he explained.

Guy leaves after fiance cheats

The friend then revealed that while out, Ashley often flirted with guys, danced with them and made out with them to “get it out of her system”.

She didn’t consider it cheating, even when things got sexual with a guy in the club toilet. The writer said his heart then sank and he “died that day”.

“I thanked the friend for telling me and told her to keep it between us. For me, any form of cheating is a big no no. I knew it was over,” he wrote.

He took two days off work to move his stuff out into his brother’s house. On the second day, he left while Ashley was at work.

“Since then, I have avoided every single form of communication sent by my ex. I have completely cut her off. I refuse to talk to her or her family,” he said.

“I don’t even want to confront her about what happened. She came home that day and saw everything was gone.”

Her family and friends are now blowing up his phone and saying he’s in the wrong for leaving “without a word”. They’ve also been blasting him on social media.

“I don’t really care. She knows what she did. To me she is dead. She doesn’t exist.”

Reddit thinks he’s not in the wrong

People on Reddit think the original poster is NTA (not the a**hole) and are saying he should block her and tell everyone that she cheated.

One person wrote: “NTA. She knows what she did. You might wanna tell everyone so they get off your back.”

“NTA for cutting her out but honestly you need to tell everyone she cheated, no point taking the blame for what she caused. Tell them, block them, move on,” said another.

A third person added: “NTA but in your place, I would explain it to her with one single parting message.”

“Fiancee giving blow***s in bathrooms to random dudes? Nahh – dump and block is the only thing to do,” someone else wrote.

NSYNC reunited at 2023 MTV Video Music Awards

On Tuesday, 12 September, Justin Timberlake, Chris Kirkpatrick, JC Chasez, Lance Bass and Joey Fatone reunited on stage at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards to present Taylor Swift the award for Best Pop video.

Before they came out on stage the group shared a short video of them all in an elevator

‘Hello VMAs! Over 20 years ago we were just kids won Best Pop Video for Bye-bye bye. It was our first VMA it meant the world to us,’ Chasez said as they came out on stage.

Swift look shellshocked as she accepted the award from the bandmates, saying: ‘I had your dolls. Are you doing something? What’s going to happen now? They’re going to do something and I need to know what it is.’

NSYNC’s appearance came a decade on from their reunion performance at the 2013 VMAs. The band performed a short medley of classic hits Bye Bye Bye and Girlfriend before Justin was awarded with the coveted Video Vanguard Award.

Band release their first new song in over 20 years

Following on from their VMAs appearance, NSYNC announced they are releasing their first new song in over 20 years. The song, Better Place, is part of the upcoming Trolls Band Together movie which will see Timberlake return as Brand.

The other four members are also featured in acting roles, and fans were treated to a first listen of the new song in a trailer for the movie which dropped on 14 September.

NSYNC 2024 ‘reunion’ tour rumors swirl following release of Better Place

In the wake of their VMAs appearance and the new song being teased, NSYNC 2024 ‘reunion’ tour rumors began to swirl online as fans excitement ramped up.

One particular ticketing website said: ‘You’ll be excited to know that NSYNC is on tour in 2023-2024. If you’ve waited a long time to see NSYNC live, the wait is over. Check NSYNC tour dates to find all tour stops on the upcoming tour & get tickets to see NSYNC live on tour at a show near you.’

However, these reports appear to be false, as according to TMZ, the group has no imminent plans for a tour, concert or Las Vegas residency.

The band’s VMAs reunion was simply to promote their upcoming Trolls track, and not to gauge excitement for a 2024 world tour.

Sadly, we’ll have to wait for any potential tour, but the first new NSYNC song in 20 years is at least something to get excited about.

Mickey Rourke’s younger photos are stunning

Over the past week, several fans have taken to Twitter to share old pictures of Mickey Rourke. Several of these pictures are from his early films.

Some fans even looked back to his iconic movie roles too.

Mickey started his acting career in the 80s. The star was in his late twenties and early thirties when he got his big breaks. His iconic roles such as Boogie in Diner (1982), and Harry Angel in Angel Heart (1987). His other memorable roles came in the same decade in films like Eureka, 9 1/2 Weeks, and more.

The actor was the crush of nearly every 80s teen. However, his great acting days came to a halt when he quit the profession in 1991 after a string of box office failures. Mickey who had trained in boxing for years prior to his acting fame, chose to become a professional boxer at age 39.

What happened to Mickey Rourke’s face?

The Independent notes that within just a few years of boxing Mickey’s great looks had been dismantled. The actor broke his nose twice, snapped his cheekbone, and damaged his ribs and toes. His advisors asked him to quit the sport or he would sustain permanent brain damage.

Mickey denied plastic surgery rumors for some time before admitting to them in 2009. He shared that his changed look had resulted from botched plastic surgery. “Most of it was to mend the mess of my face because of the boxing,” he shared, “but I went to the wrong guy to put my face back together.”

Star turns 71 on September 16

Mickey who was born on September 16, 1952, in Schenectady, New York turns 71 this year. The actor’s parents divorced when he was still young. He has two siblings brother Joey and sister Patricia.

As a teenager, Mickey trained in boxing. He won his first boxing match at age 12 in the 112-pound (51 kg) flyweight category. However, he soon turned his attention to acting.

What were fake eyelashes called?

Fake eyelashes were never called anything else. They have always been known as fake eyelashes, false eyelashes or the shortened term lashes.

A meme is circling Twitter and TikTok that they used to be called ‘cumbrellas’ thanks to a rumor that a prostitute called Gerda Puridle invented them to protect her eyes from ejaculation.

However, that’s not actually true at all. The hoax began more than two years ago and has been circling the internet ever since.

They’re not called ‘cumbrellas’

It all started in 2021 when a post appeared online that said:

“Did you know… that in 1882 London prostitute Gerda Puridle invented elongated eyelashes or ‘cumbrellas’ to block semen from getting in working girls’ eyes that are worn today as common fashion?”

It instantly went viral, but the whole thing is completely made up. Gerda Puridle isn’t even a real person and the racy story about how eyelashes were invented is fake.

The meme also includes a black-and-white photo, but it’s of a French actress and novelist called Alice Regnault who wasn’t a prostitute.

The fake rumor is still fooling people on social media in 2023, with one person writing: “If you don’t know why fake eyelashes were invented Google it.”

“If you knew the reason behind their invention, you might reconsider wearing them. And indeed, you definitely should,” said another.

So why were eyelashes invented?

The real reason why eyelashes were invented is exactly as you’d expect – for women to enhance their appearance.

People have been darkening their eyelashes for millennia, including both ancient Egyptians and people in ancient Rome.

The first cosmetic mascara was invented many centuries later by Eugene Rimmel, Queen Victoria’s perfumer.

It was Canadian inventor Anna Taylor who then secured a US patent for artificial eyelashes on June 6, 1911.

The product was a strip of fabric implanted with small hairs, very similar to the fake eyelashes we see today.

Video of ‘GoFast UFO’ from 2015 resurafces

X (formerly Twitter) users want to learn more about the GoFast UFO as the report by NASA explains the aerial phenomenon that is said to have occurred in 2015.

The Pentagon released the video filmed in 2004 and 2015 by pilots flying fighter jets “to clear up any misconceptions by the public on whether or not the footage that has been circulating was real or whether or not there is more to the videos.”

The statement on the Department of Defense further explains: “After a thorough review, the department has determined that the authorized release of these unclassified videos does not reveal any sensitive capabilities or systems, and does not impinge on any subsequent investigations of military air space incursions by unidentified aerial phenomena.”

The Pentagon confirmed that the videos circulated on the republic domain after unauthorized release remain “unidentified.”

Unidentified object spotted ‘rotating’ in the sky

The video of the GoFast UFO officially released by the Pentagon shows objects moving quickly in the sky when the pilot filmed one of them spinning mid-air.

The person recording the video says: “Look at that thing, dude! It’s rotating!” as a black-colored disc-shaped object cruises across the sky.

A few seconds into the footage, you can see the alleged UFO turn 180 degrees and come full circle while in motion.

The Pentagon also released another video from 2004 depicting an oblong unidentified object hovering above the water. It was reportedly captured 100 miles over the Pacific.

NASA addresses extraterrestrials

NASA’s latest report doesn’t confirm aliens are real as it establishes there’s no scientific evidence of UAPs being extraterrestrial.

However, the agency is working toward involving an advanced scientific approach to analyze the reports and sightings associated with extraterrestrials without completely ruling out the possibilities.

NASA’s administrator, Bill Nelson, said the agency will continue to do it “transparently” and urged the public to continue to report any unusual sightings.

Carti has been teasing the release of his third album for months

It’s been two years since Carti’s last major release. However, the Atlanta rapper is scheduled to release his upcoming third studio album – currently titled Music – later in 2023.

Details have been kept under close wraps, although on July 28, Carti teased the album on Instagram after being featured on the track Fe!n on Travis Scott‘s fourth studio album, Utopia. “New s*** on the way, believe that,” Carti teased.

That month he also played unreleased music during his set at Wireless and at his Rolling Loud Miami headlining performance.

Playboi Carti’s birthday party teases new tracks with Travis Scott and Lil Uzi Vert

Several tracks names off Carti’s upcoming album have emerged online. The rapper confirmed the name of one, Wicked, in a recent interview, while Justin Bieber (featuring Lil Uzi Vert) Ménage (featuring Lil Uzi Vert), and Roll Up (featuring Travis Scott) are also rumored to be possible tracks.

Playboi Carti’s 27th birthday was on 13 September, 2023, and it appears he previewed some of the music off his new album. Footage from the birthday bash made its way online, and featured several previously unheard Playboi Carti tracks featuring Travis Scott and Lil Uzi Vert.

Needless to say fans were excited upon hearing the unreleased music at Carti’s birthday.

‘The album gonna be crazy,’ one person said.

‘oh we are so back’, another added.

The tour will now begin with its European leg in Dublin, Ireland, on 19 November.

Nazca Lines in Peru have been subject to ‘alien’ rumors

The Nazca Lines in Peru are a group of geoglyphs created by people of the ancient Nazac culture more than 2,000 years ago. Owing to its massive size, the view is best appreciated when seen from outer space or the foothills.

They were discovered by Peruvian archaeologist Toribio Mejía Xesspe in the 1920s, but the site has been explored by very few archeologists due to its size, which limits its complete visibility at ground level.

Apart from the drawing of animal shapes and geometric figures, the Nazca Lines were also associated with extraterrestrial lives, reports NBC.

Among several rumors surrounding it, one suggests the humongous site could have been “an alien landing strip.” However, there’s no evidence to prove it was the point of arrival for spacecraft or any unidentified flying objects.

‘Alien’ mummies found in Nazca

There is no proof that the so-called aliens visited Nazca Lines, but Russian researchers claimed a few years ago that they recovered “alien mummies” from the town of Nazca.

The discovery of the mummified “non-human” remains by researchers from St. Petersburg in 2017 supported the possible existence of three-fingered creatures with a “different anatomical structure to humans.”

The Evening Standard reports that Professor Konstantin Korotkov from the Russian National Research University told Sputnik news agency: “The tissue has biological nature and their chemical composition indicated that they are humans. Their DNA features 23 pairs of chromosomes, just like we have.”

However, the claims were brushed off as “fraud” by the World Congress of Mummy Studies, and the same was debunked by Metabunk with a detailed analysis of the said evidence.

What happened at the Mexican UFO Hearing?

The briefing on UFO/UAPs was headed by the Mexican journalist and ufologist Jaime Maussan. The UFO investigators and fellow journalists presented before Congress the alleged “alien corpses” recovered in Cusco in Peru.

In addition to the results of the analysis conducted on the specimens, the briefing also displayed the X-rays of the “non-human” creatures and claimed that one of them had “eggs and ovaries.”

The UAP Hearing was conducted in the presence of the members of the government, Congress, former American pilot Ryan Graves, and other witnesses.

The event intended to shed more light on the undisclosed information about extraterrestrials while urging the government to look into the alleged evidence. However, neither the Mexican government nor Congress have confirmed the findings to be true.
