At the beckoning of the government, Turkish police forces in major cities have staged brutal crackdowns on demonstrators advocating for LGBTQI rights. This blatant display of police brutality comes on the hills of a months-long escalation in attacks on the queer community in Turkey by top government officials, public servants, religious leaders and media figures who repeatedly label members of the community as “perverts,” “dirty,” “deviants” and spreaders of disease. It appears that Turkey’s ruling party, AKP, is employing this assault on LGBTQI people as a tactic to rally its base of...…At the beckoning of the government, Turkish police forces in major cities have staged brutal crackdowns on demonstrators advocating for LGBTQI rights.

A National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) scientist has made headlines for his stark warnings to male astronauts heading up to the skies above: under no circumstances should you masturbate in space, Indy100 reported. Simply put, those who are making the trip into the world of zero-gravity should not pleasure themselves at all. But why exactly is that? The answer provided is quite surprising—and pretty much unbelievable. The prohibition on masturbation is allegedly to protect female astronauts from accidentally being impregnated by “stray fluids,” the publication added. These...…A National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) scientist has made headlines for his stark warnings to male astronauts heading up to the skies above: under no circumstances should you masturbate in space, Indy100 reported.
