What To Do If The Person You’re Dating ‘Likes’ Terrible Things On Instagram

The conclusion of Becca Kufrin’s “Bachelorette” season left many viewers angered: She chose him, and is still with him after seeing what he “liked” on Instagram? 

The “him” in question is Garrett Yrigoyen, a 29-year-old Reno, Nevada, resident whose history of “liking” offensive social media posts ― including memes mocking liberal women, transgender people and a Parkland, Florida, student survivor ― came to light early on in the season. 

Kufrin has openly supported Democrat Hillary Clinton and left-wing causes, such as the Women’s March, so her choice was a little puzzling for many in Bachelor Nation:

Sure, Becca might be happy when Garrett proposes. But Blake, can you think about how Becca is going to feel months later when she finds out that Garrett was actually a racist, misogynistic, transphobic, conspiracy theorist this entire time? #TheBacheloretteFinale

So, Garrett, how do you feel about immigrants, gay and trans people? Hopefully this dude has changed his ‘tude. But really what are the odds? #TheBacheloretteFinale

So, Becca chose a guy who mocks women, trans people and school shooting survivors.

I know it’s a game show. But I might be as mad as I was on election night. #TheBacheloretteFinale #TheBachelorette

Following the scandal in June, Yrigoyen deleted his old account and apologized for his past social media behavior.

“I never realized the power behind a mindless double tap on Instagram and how it bears so much weight on people’s lives,” Yrigoyen wrote on a new Instagram page. “I did not mean any harm by any of it.”

On Monday night’s season finale, we learned that Kufrin believed him. Accepting Yrigoyen’s problematic “likes” didn’t come easy for her, though.

Contaminated food at funeral kills at least nine in Peru

At least nine people have died and dozens became ill after eating contaminated food at a funeral in the Peruvian Andes, authorities said on Tuesday.

The food appeared to have contained organophosphates, a family of chemicals used in pesticides, Health Minister Silvia Pessah said on local broadcaster RPP.

Public prosecutors have taken samples of food and beverages served at the funeral for testing, the attorney general's office said in a statement.

Out of the 50 people sickened at the funeral in the village of San Jose de Ushua on Monday, nine have died and several were in critical condition, Peru's civil defense agency Indeci said on its website.

Earlier, Indeci tweeted that 10 had died, but the tweet appeared to have been removed.

Man stabs ex-girlfriend to death in fit of jealous rage then tries to commit suicide by jumping in front of two oncoming buses

A 20-year-old lady, Prachi Vikas Zade, was stabbed multiple times in Thane, India by her ex-boyfriend with whom she had recently broken up.

The suspect,  Akash Pawar, 25, man then tried to commit suicide by jumping in front of two oncoming buses but escaped with minor injuries.

The incident reportedly took place in Thane’s Naupada on the Mumbai-Nashik Highway while the victim, accompanied by a female friend, was headed to work in Ghodbunder on a two-wheeler on Saturday morning.

Pawar, who had allegedly followed her, waylaid her near the LIC office and stabbed her in the chest, stomach and neck at least nine to ten times even as horrified passersby looked on.

He then tried to kill himself by running into the traffic but escaped unhurt after drivers braked in time.

Locals rushed the severely bleeding woman to a nearby hospital where she was declared  dead on arrival.

Pawar was reportedly arrested after he surrendered before the Narpoli police who handed him over to Naupada as it was investigating the case.

“Akash Pawar stabbed her more than nine to ten times in her stomach and neck. She fell down in a pool of blood near the LIC Office in Naupada,” said Dr DS Swami, deputy commissioner of police, Thane.

Bali earthquake LIVE: At least 39 people killed after 7-magnitude tremor rocks Indonesia

A huge earthquake has rocked the Indonesian island of Bali killing at least 39 people, including a child.

Panicked holidaymakers and locals rushed into the streets amid fears buildings would collapse as the magnitude-7 quake hit at 7.45pm local time.

Around 80 children have been left homeless as shocking pictures from the Indonesian island show the damage caused to buildings by the tremors.

The earthquake, which sparked a tsunami warning that was later stood down, struck at the same location that was hit by a 6.4-magnitude quake that killed 14 people last week.

Model Christine Teigen and Take That star Gary Barlow were among numerous people sharing their horror experiences in the aftermath.

Woman injected husband with lethal dose of heroin and 'served former lover's remains to neighbours at barbecue'

Jason Cochran, 37, and his new wife Kelly, 34, made a vow on their wedding night. But unlike the usual vows of ‘until death do us part’ or ‘for richer, for poorer’, this was a perverse pact that started their married life with a macabre tone and, ultimately, defined both their fates.

Jason and Kelly promised each other that if





either one of them was unfaithful during their marriage, they would kill the lover. Did they believe they’d go through with their horrific promise at the time? Only Jason and Kelly know that for sure – and one of them ended up dead.


In 2014, over a decade into their married life, the couple were living in Iron River, Michigan. Jason was struggling with health issues and their marriage was in crisis. Kelly was sleeping with a local contractor called Chris Regan, 53, who she’d met through work.

The divorced dad-of-two would invite Kelly over to his apartment for sex – and rumour of their affair was spreading around the small community. Chris had just got a new job in North Carolina and was ready to move away, but Jason found out his wife was being unfaithful and ‘the wedding pact’ kicked in.

Jason reminded his wife that they’d agreed to kill off anyone involved in their extra marital affairs and, in Jason’s eyes, that
was the only way they could fix their marriage. Bizarrely, Kelly agreed.

Bali earthquake: 'Scary' 7-magnitude tremor hits Indonesia sparking fear of tsunami

A large earthquake has struck the holiday island of Bali, sparking fears of a tsunami.

Initial reports from the Indonesian island say the magnitude of the quake is 7 on the Richter scale, and terrified tourists have described fleeing to safety.


Model Christine Teigen, who is in Bali with husband John Legend, posted on Twitter in the aftermath of the tremor: "Bali. Trembling. So long."

She had moments earlier written: "MASSIVE earthquake."

And her tweets continued: "Oh man. We are on stilts. It felt like a ride. 15 solid seconds of 'hooooooly s*** this is happening'".

There are no details yet about casualties or damage caused by the earthquake, which happened at around 7.45pm local time.

People have shared their experiences on social media.

My privilege didn't stop my depression. I felt like an outsider drowning in my own thoughts.

Oh, you’re a rich girl, huh?" the pediatrician said.

I had just spent more than 48 hours in the an emergency room, and more than a day in a restricted unit waiting to meet with a psychiatrist and pediatrician at Havenwyck Hospital in Auburn Hills, Michigan.

I could feel his piercing blue eyes judging me for where I grew up. His demeanor changed during my appointment, and his voice got snarky.

This wasn’t a surprise. I’ve always hated telling people where I’m from because of the stigma that lies under my city’s name. Grosse Pointe. Sometimes I’m disgusted with it, too. After all, coming from an affluent community, you’re supposed to have it all, the advantages and connections for a happy life, so why am I in a mental hospital?

I spent nearly a week there.

play

24-year-old Ruth Kamande, who was crowned Miss Lang'ata Prison beauty pageant in 2016, was July sentenced to death by High Court judge Jessie Lessit for stabbing her lover Farid Mohammed more than 22 times.
For the beauty queen with brains, who recently converted to Islam and enrolled for a theology course the Pope has heard her prayers loud and clear.
As Kenya’s beauty queen and most ‘beautiful’ murderer cools her heels at Lang’ata Women’s prison awaiting her date with the hangman, millions of miles away one of the most senior persons revered by millions worldwide and said to communicate with God directly is fighting for her life.
24-year-old Ruth Kamande, who was crowned Miss Lang'ata Prison beauty pageant in 2016, was July sentenced to death by High Court judge Jessie Lessit for stabbing her lover Farid Mohammed more than 22 times.

"I want the youth to know it is not cool to kill your boyfriends or girlfriends. Instead, it is cool to walk away and forget," Judge Lessit said in her ruling.

Many Kenyans were struck by her beauty with some even questioning if such a beauty should spend the rest of her life in prison her murder charges notwithstanding.

"This girl is so beautiful… she’s so young… she has lost her entire life; that is enough punishment, really," Suba North MP Millie Odhiambo said

Before her death sentence ruling could even dry, human rights groups led by Amnesty International-Kenya faulted the sentencing and called on President Uhuru Kenyatta to intervene on her case.

Low levels of air pollution linked to changes in the heart

Regular exposure to even low levels of air pollution may cause changes to the heart similar to those in the early stages of heart failure, experts say.

A study of 4,000 people in the UK found those who lived by loud, busy roads had larger hearts on average than those living in less polluted areas.

This was despite the fact people in the study were exposed to pollution levels below the UK guidelines.

Researchers called on the government to reduce air pollution more quickly.

Pollution hotspots revealed
Air pollution linked to child's death
Pollution linked to one in six deaths
A team of scientists, led from Queen Mary University of London, analysed health data of people who had no underlying heart problems and were part of the UK Biobank study, including the size, weight and function of their hearts.

Researchers also looked at the pollution levels in the areas they lived in.

Venezuela President Maduro 'survives drone attack'

Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro says he has survived an assassination attempt involving explosive drones.

Mr Maduro was speaking at a military event in Caracas when the alleged attack occurred.

Live footage of Mr Maduro's speech shows the president suddenly looking upwards - startled - and dozens of soldiers running away.

Mr Maduro has blamed Colombia for the attack - something denied by Bogota as a "baseless" accusation.

Seven soldiers were injured, and several people were later arrested, the Venezuelan authorities said.

What is known about the alleged attack?
The incident happened when Mr Maduro was speaking at the event to mark the 81st anniversary of the national army.

Two drones loaded with explosives went off near the president's stand, Communications Minister Jorge Rodriguez said.

Mr Maduro later said in a national address: "A flying object exploded near me, a big explosion. Seconds later there was a second explosion."

Photos on social media showed bodyguards protecting Mr Maduro with bulletproof shields after the alleged attack.

The real reason people rent middle-aged men in Japan

Unless you have interesting input coming into you all the time, you will psychologically die."

"You learn by seeing through other people's eyes."
"People live too seriously, and that kind of narrows down their vision."
These thoughts have not been generated by an algorithm or crowdsourced on Twitter. They are the accumulated wisdom of a middle-aged man in Japan.
A middle-aged man who's available for rent.
Wearing a shirt with a miniature panda bear print and smiling inscrutably, Ken Sasaki, 48, has a vibe that is anything but that of a disgruntled middle-aged Tokyo man.

With gray hair, visible lines on his face and loss of youthful slimness, he is more like a free-spirited bohemian in a strange disguise.
Throughout an hourlong Skype interview, in which comments are tediously ferried back and forth through an interpreter, his energy and enthusiasm never flag, and his answers grow more expressive and thoughtful with each question.
It's all part of his job as a rented "ossan," the Japanese word for a middle-aged man.
He allows himself to be hired by anyone, for nearly any purpose -- not involving physical contact -- as long as they pay his hourly wage: a mere 1,000 yen (about US $9). And he loves it.
Regaining honor
As in many cities around the globe, most people in Tokyo prefer anonymity when it comes to their wants, needs and vulnerabilities.

Conor McGregor v Khabib Nurmagomedov the biggest fight in UFC history

Conor McGregor's comeback fight against Khabib Nurmagomedov is the "biggest fight in UFC history", says Dana White.

McGregor will fight Nurmagomedov for the Russian's lightweight title in Las Vegas on 6 October.

The Irishman, 30, who was beaten by Floyd Mayweather in a boxing match in August 2017, has not fought in the UFC since November 2016.

In July he avoided jail after pleading guilty to disorderly conduct following an incident at a UFC media day.

The former two-weight champion had faced multiple criminal charges stemming from an altercation in April with other fighters.

McGregor was filmed throwing a metal dolly into a window of a bus parked at a Barclay's Center loading bay.
