Stevie, formerly known as Whitney, made the revelation to their almost 10,000 followers on the platform last week, and acknowledged in their TikTok bio that they’re happy to be referred to under “any” pronoun. The 19-year-old was adopted by Eminem, real name Marshall Mathers, when the rapper briefly reunited with their mother, Kim Scott, in 2005. In Stevie’s video, the teen shared a montage of photos tracking their changes over the years, from identifying as “she/they,” before progressing to “they/she” and, ultimately, “all pronouns....

Knowing what other survivors have experienced and getting help early in the process can be helpful in navigating your way through this experience. You may not have all of these emotions, but it’s normal to have a range of emotions as you progress through treatment. Here are some emotional states that are similar to Kübler-Ross’s Five Stages of Grief:...

If greenhouse gases are pumped into the atmosphere at current rates and global temperatures spike 5 to 6C, relative to pre-industrial levels, there will be an average 86 percent decline in populations by the year 2100. Stephanie Jenouvrier, lead author of a study published in the journal Global Change Biology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) seabird ecologist, said in a statement: “At that point, it is very unlikely for them to bounce back....

The usual scenario goes like this: People with metastatic breast cancer want to talk about these concerns, but are afraid to upset their loved ones—so they stay quiet. On the other side, loved ones are afraid of upsetting you by talking about the end of life issues—so they say nothing. The same holds true even for patients and oncologists, and studies tell us that these conversations take place much less often than they should....

The monk seal was a young female, NOAA officials said. She was pup born on Molokai last year known as L11, according to the Star-Advertiser. This is also the seventh intentional killing of the animal in the past decade, NOAA reported. NOAA seal experts are awaiting test results to see if L11 had any diseases, but believe the results will not change the conclusion of the postmortem exam, which determined fatal trauma from a bullet fragment, the Star-Advertiser reported....

Before stepping down in April as CEO, Anderson helped Duke regain its financial footing. Now, as chair of Duke, Anderson has begun turning his attention toward issues of climate change. To the surprise of environmentalists and energy industry insiders alike, Anderson’s forward to Flannery’s 2005 book, “The Weather Makers,” made an impassioned call for immediate action, lest we face cataclysmic results within 50 years. Though Duke Energy is still the country’s third-largest consumer of coal, Anderson is the rare energy executive willing not only to acknowledge the problem of carbon emissions but also to address the issue....

Kagiso Rabada did not feature in the third T20I of the series against England at Cape Town, in which the hosts were thrashed by nine wickets.

CBS News/YouGov Battleground Tracker found that Warren has gained territory on Biden in an estimate of Democratic National Convention delegates. The former vice president had 600 delegates, compared to Warren’s 545. Bernie Sanders rounded out the top three candidates with an estimated 286 delegates. When it came to specific early voting states, the tracker showed Warren to be slightly ahead of both Biden and Sanders in New Hampshire. But she was behind her male counterparts in Iowa, South Carolina and Nevada....

What path history will blaze is unclear. That Obama seems poised to become the Democratic nominee is certainly evidence we’ve arrived at a redefining moment in this nation’s evolution. But that’s not to say race has ceased to be of consequence. Hillary Clinton made that point in a widely criticized interview, boasting she had a stronger base of support than Obama among “hardworking Americans, white Americans.” (She said she was misunderstood....

Why would this important voice “hate to say it?” Because it is Elon Musk, billionaire developer of the signature electric car of our age, the Tesla. Musk addresses his mixed feelings in a subsequent tweet: “Obviously, this would negatively affect Tesla, but sustainable energy solutions simply cannot react instantaneously to make up for Russian oil & gas exports.” A social media free-for-all soon unfolded, as fossil fuel supporters suggested Musk is a wiser voice than the familiar chorus of climate extremists who fill their days telling us our gasoline engines are dooming coastal cities to an underwater future....

Speaking for the first time since losing his $190 million defamation lawsuit against the Tesla founder, Vernon Unsworth described his humiliation following the pair’s public spat last year while Musk attempted to send a small submarine to help with the rescue operation at the Tham Luang caverns in Chiang Rai. Unsworth dismissed Musk’s attempt to help with the rescue as a PR stunt, adding he can “stick his submarine where it hurts....

Musk made the comments during an interview at the TED 2022 conference Thursday, according to The Hill, the same day reports emerged that he had offered to buy Twitter. With 81.7 million followers on the platform, Musk is both a frequent user and outspoken critic of Twitter. His criticisms of Twitter largely center on his free speech concerns, something he spoke about at the TED 2022 conference. “I think it’s very important for there to be an inclusive arena for free speech,” Musk was quoted by The Hill....

What makes Embracer Group’s latest round of acquisitions particularly important, however, is the fact that it’s adding the Lord of the Rings IP to its portfolio. Indeed, it is now possible that THQ Nordic may work on producing new LOTR games in the future, but that’s just one small part of the broader list of changes and investments the company has been making as of late.

The surge, typically seen each spring as the weather warms, is leading to criticism of Biden from across the political spectrum with questions over the impact of his policies and the treatment of people arriving at the border. The president has received majority approval since he entered the White House.

Mustafi was at fault for two of Crystal Palace’s goals in Arsenal’s shock 3-2 Premier League defeat at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday. The 27-year-old has split opinion since joining from LaLiga side Valencia in a reported £35million transfer in 2016, but Emery has no doubt about the German’s quality, citing his man-of-the-match showing in the 1-0 win at Watford on April 15. “I want to protect the players,” Arsenal boss Emery said ahead of Wednesday’s trip to Wolves....

Emiru’s statement is her first official acknowledgment of the recent controversy involving her fellow OTK member Rich Campbell being asked to leave the organization after Campbell was recently accused of sexual assault.

On their official Twitter account, OTK tweeted a formal statement on December 16, letting the community know that Rich would no longer be a part of the OTK family effective immediately....
