What in the fuck is wrong with folks in Hollywood.

It's Diabetes Barbie!

Meet the first Barbie with type 1 diabetes



Thousands of different Barbie dolls have made their way into shops since they first started being made - but now the first Barbie with type 1 diabetes has been released.

In recent years a blind doll has been introduced, as well as one with Down's syndrome - this latest addition also aims to increase representation amongst the range.

The new Barbie features technology that people with type 1 diabetes use to help manage the effects of the condition. The type 1 diabetes doll will feature a continuous glucose monitor along with an insulin pump.

Also included are 500 medical forms to fill out and a telephone where Barbie can hold for three hours trying to get through to the insurance company to see if they'll pay for it all ( okay I made that up    ).

Ryan Wesley Routh, a cheerleader for a Ukrainian brigade associated with neo-Nazis since its inception, allegedly attempted to assassinate the president at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida, on Sept. 15.

On that day, Routh — who made around 20 small donations to Democrats through ActBlue between 2019 and 2020 and whom the Biden Department of Homeland Security declined to investigate despite previous complaints — allegedly took aim at a U.S. Secret Service agent conducting a security sweep with an SKS semiautomatic 7.62x39 caliber rifle with a scope attached and an extended magazine.

Democrat L.A. Mayor Karen Bass said the city was filing a lawsuit seeking an injunction to stop the federal ICE enforcement operations on the basis that they are "unconstitutional" and "unlawful." The action involves several other cities as well.

Air India pilots may have made fatal error before crash that killed more than 270 people



A preliminary report for last month's Air India crash that killed 241 people on board — with a sole survivor miraculously walking away — found that the plane's engine fuel cutoff switch was flipped just three seconds after taking off.

It is unclear how or why the switch was flipped, which ceased all fuel to the engines and quickly forced the London-bound Boeing 787 Dreamliner to lose its thrust and crash, killing another 19 people on the ground on June 12.

"The Engine N1 and N2 began to decrease from their take-off values as the fuel supply to the engines was cut off," the report said.

The cutoff switches are most often used to turn both engines off at once, either when a plane reaches the airport gate or during emergencies requiring a shutdown.

The report, headed by India's Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau, didn't indicate any findings pointing toward any emergency before the crash that would require a fuel cutoff.
