Source: Rpsycho / Getty Screaming “Save The Whales!” sounds like something the earth loving character in a cliche 2000s movie would say – but in this case, it’s totally called for. A young sperm Whale was recently found dead, washed up on a beach in Spain and scientists were shocked to find about 64 pounds of gross plastic waste in his stomach. Sperm Whale Stuffed with 64 Pounds of Plastic Washes Up Dead In #Spain https://t.co/UGQF3SVJyq — The New Science (@NewScienceWrld) April 10, 2018 You’d think humans would get it together considering we kinda need the oceans to live; but nah. 8 million tons of plastic gets dumped into the ocean every year. Imagine what it must feel like to be a squid eating Whale and you wound up with a Pepsi bottle stuck in your intestines. Authorities in Murcia, Spain plan to launch a campaign to clean up 11 of their beaches. That’s a good first step, but how about we all try not dumping trash into the ocean. Love us, for real.

Twins Sara Eldritch and Amanda Eldritch didn't just make headlines for their battle with an extreme manifestation of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. The two, who battled OCD from childhood well into adulthood, underwent a groundbreaking procedure that, at least for a time, eased their symptoms and allowed them to lead normal lives. Tragically, the women have both been found dead. Police suspect that they may have had a suicide pact. The Canon City Daily Record reports that the Eldritch twins were found dead with gunshot wounds. The Fremont County Sheriff’s Office says that Sara and Amanda were found in a car which was parked at a rest area Royal Gorge Bridge and Park, which is in Canon City. Sgt. Megan Richards reported that police believe that the sisters may have had a suicide pact. That is, at the moment, speculation. What they say with reasonable confidence is that there is no known threat to the community at large. In the video below, you can see both Sara and Amanda speak about their shared battle with OCD. Their disorder manifested at a very young age, where even a simple process like putting on their shoes could take a great deal of time because they found, for example, wrinkles in their socks to be unbearable. Many of us dislike things like that, but for someone with OCD, there is an irresistible compulsion to address what most of us would view as a regrettable source of irritation. The twins described their OCD as like someone holding a gun to their head and forcing them to go through a task or ritual. By their twenties, their OCD symptoms had worsened, and they would find themselves taking 10-hour showers, scrubbing their skin raw. You can also see how their lives improved after they underwent a groundbreaking procedure. Electrodes were placed within their brains, connected to batteries stored within their chests. Which, yes, sounds like a child's idea of what surgery might be, but we're not making it up. The procedure, normally used for Parkinson's, allowed them to manage their anxieties. They came to feel as if their younger, OCD-ridden selves were almost different people. In some ways, they were. The twins were able to go on and get jobs and function in everyday life. For a time, at least. It's heartbreaking to think that they died just a few years later. Though a number of treatments for OCD exist and work to varying degrees, there is no “magic pill” for these compulsions. In fact, OCD is not really well understood. There is evidence for a genetic component to OCD. Both anecdotally and statistically, the odds of having OCD are higher if a relative has it. In other cases, OCD can arise from traumatic situations such as abuse. There are even controversial theories that there is an autoimmune element at play in OCD. Their mother must be feeling so devastated. Some wonder if the procedure that had given the twins so much freedom back in 2015 had tragically stopped working. If so, that would compound the sadness. Especially if they chose to die rather than return to how their lives once were. But, at the moment, so much of this is just speculation. Hopefully, investigators will uncover a concrete, verifiable explanation for how this tragedy came to pass. In the mean time, let's look at the twins when they were happily explaining how their lives had improved.
Watch out for your kneecaps! (Kidding!) Tonya Harding will be on the new season of Dancing With The Stars . Olympic snowboarder Jamie Anderson and Olympic figureskater and media darling Adam Rippon will also be joining the cast. The finale of Dancing With The Stars was last November, and it’s about time that the world learns who’ll be starring on this next season. Well, Us Weekly reports that Tonya Harding will be one of the “stars” who will be dancing. Harding was infamous in the ’90s after her ex-husband … who was also her bodyguard … orchestrated a “hit” on Nancy Kerrigan, designed to injure Harding’s rival so that she could not compete. Harding did not order it herself, and complains that she has been unfairly condemned for it. But she did admit to knowing about the attack before it happened . It’s worth noting that Kerrigan has competed on Dancing With The Stars before, during season 24. This will be the dance competition’s first-ever all-athletes season, so this controversial Olympian won’t be alone. Olympian Adam Rippon made headlines earlier this year over his back-and-forth conflict with Vice President Mike Pence . Rippon is openly gay, Pence is notorious for holding extremely anti-gay views. Donald Trump himself has reportedly joked that Pence would prefer to see gay Americans be executed by hanging. And Pence’s history of espousing extremely conservative views and carrying those beliefs into government speaks for itself. Rippon, however, turns out to be a media darling, adored by American fans for his unbridled honesty and his sense of humor. He’ll make a great addition to this upcoming season. As one of the best figureskaters on the planet, he’ll also be one hell of a dancer. Jamie Anderson will also be on Dancing With The Stars . She is an extraordinarily talented snowboarder. Anderson is one of the top slopestyle riders in the world, and demonstrated this at the Sochii Winter Olympics in 2014 and in the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics in 2018. With four gold medals, five silver medals, and two bronze medals, she’s proven that she’s devastating in the snow. But how will that translate to dance? We’ll just have to wait and see. Tonya Harding reentered the spotlight recently with the Oscar-nominated film, I, Tonya . It appears that she hopes that this film can be part of her redemption in the eyes of the public. “The media had me convicted of doing something wrong before I had even done anything at all,” she lamented last December. “I’m always the bad person.” Honestly, she hasn’t always done herself that many favors, as she has sometimes taken odd stances in interviews over the years. It will be interesting to see how well she takes the inevitable jokes at her expense when she appears on Dancing With The Stars . To be clear, ABC has yet to officially confirm that Harding, Rippon, and Anderson will be on this season. They’ll announce the full list of “stars” on Friday, April 13th, on Good Morning America . Considering how interesting these three names are, we have to wonder who else will be among their competition. And, for that matter, who their dance partners will be.

In order to be a Duggar, one must love three things: God, procreation, and Chick-Fil-A. We’re sure the extended version of that list would include things like “America” and “the idea that the Earth is only 6,000 years old and Jesus rode a dinosaur to work,” but it’s those top three that are really non-negotiable. So perhaps it should come as no surprise that one of the first rites of passage for young Duggar males is the traditional Ridiculously Long Hike For Waffle Fries. Yes, it seems 2-year-old Israel Duggar really lived up to his name recently when, like Moses before him, he took a really long walk because a higher power promised him a great reward. Except in Izzy’s case, the authority figure was his mom, Jill Duggar, and the reward was a delicious chicken sandwich. Jill posted the above photo today, along with a caption reading: “Fans are up in arms today over an Instagram post in which Jill revealed that she and her boys trekked for more than an hour to get their hands on some deep-fried goodness. “You know you’re a mom when…you walk 1hr. 10 min with both boys to get to a @chickfila We were enjoying some beautiful Colorado Springs weather while papa was busy with the rest of the team from church!” She added the hashtags: “#chickfilaplayground #longwalk #ThankTheLordWeDidntHaveToWalkBack” So the good news is, the kids had enough energy to avail themselves of the playground when they finally reached their destination, and apparently, the family received a ride back to their hotel. But still, this post leaves us with two major questions: 1. They don’t have Uber in Colorado Springs? and 2. Jill couldn’t have snapped a selfie in which she looks less like La Criticizing Jill’s parenting is one of the internet’s favorite activities, so naturally, Duggar detractors went all in on this post: “The kids are not having fun. Looks like they need hats!!!” wrote one follower . “Shade these boys… looks so hot out and an hour walk? Sheesh… I guess other parents don’t mind.” Another echoed the sentiment, writing: “Walking an hour w/out sun protection for fast food to serve the kiddos, by yourself, near the highway & fuel exhaust & you’re praising your mommy skills? And your fans are praising your mommy skills?” Clearly, what Jill thought was a fun family outing was perceived very differently by many Duggar fans. Frankly, we’re divided on the issue. On the one hand, no one was hurt and we’re sure Jill’s heart was in the right place. On the other hand, couldn’t Jill have just ord ered food? We know money’s probably been tight since Derick Dillard got fired by TLC, but sheesh, maybe be a bit more selective about where to cut corners!

After the call to action didn’t work, Mo addressed rumors of being “difficult to work with”, calling folks like Lee Daniel and Oprah fake for black balling her… Now a dear friend of Oprah’s is standing in Mo’Nique’s corner. Kimberly Elise took to twitter to stand with Mo and call her worthy of everything she’s asked for. @indiaarie @moworldwide so much love to you both. They want the #blackgirlmagic but have not wanted pay for it. #worthy — Kimberly Elise (@iKimberlyElise) March 2, 2018 Kimberly, who worked with Oprah on Beloved , worked with Mo’Nique on Almost Christmas and she says Mo’nique was radiant on set.

If you’re not familiar with Tila Tequila … well, then you may want to stop reading now. You’re definitely better off living the rest of your life in blissful ignorance of this pint-sized demon lady. However, if you’re already unfortunate enough to be familiar with Tila’s racist, hateful way of life, then you might as well stay informed about this long national nightmare. As you may already know Tequila welcomed a child back in 2014, which is an odd phrase for a number of reasons. Now, it seems there’s another worm in the bottle … or something. “The Lord God has blessed me with baby #2!!!!!” Tila wrote on her official Facebook page today. “Praise the Father in Heaven for He is merciful and graceful! I give glory to Him every day.” Yes, Tila is as racist and seemingly mentally ill as ever, but she’s also super into God these days. As a result, her birth announcement sounded like something Samuel L. Jackson would say after taking a bite of your Big Kahuna burger: “May all the blood of the saints be brought to justice for the time has come! The time hath come for our Father God in heaven to reveal himself to us!” Tila wrote. “The time hath cometh when great hailstones of fire and brimestone will shoot across the heavens down to the earth to smite every wicked tongue that has cursed his name!” Needless to say, Ms. Tequila is extremely stable these days and there’s no reason to be deeply concerned by the fact that she’ll soon be responsible for the health and safety of two children. She went on to reveal that she was targeted for death by the Illuminati and warn her haters that they’ll soon be struck down by Jesus: “They tried to kill me in 2012 but Jesus brought me back to life and now all the illuminati fear me because my God is mighty!!!” Tila wrote. “Meanwhile, I find it hilarious how all the haters have been calling me ‘fat’ and telling me that God is going to punish me for the things I have been saying and always trying to send curses my way,” she added. “But God took all your wretched curses and turned them into huge blessings for me instead!!!! YAAAAAAAAAAY!!!” You have to appreciate the deftness with which she alternates between ultra-basic Valley girl and dude who filled the food pantry of his backyard bomb shelter with nothing but Bibles and AR-15s. Anyway, um … congrats to Tila – and best of luck to her future son or daughter.
Mark Salling was a sexual predator and child pornography collector who deserved to be killed based on that alone…but luckily he took it out on himself and killed himself thanks to being unable to live with his pervert self…that I guess was publicly humilated and who’s career was totally fucking over…rightfully so….people into child porn are the worst scum of the earth who deserve to be murdered violently. That’s some real fucking sick shit to be into….even if it’s a mental disorder – we don’t need that kind. But after watching this video – it is safe to say that Mark Salling, the actor on GLEE, who raped a girl unprotected before the “METOO” movement, but who also was found to have thousands of child porno pics – and had to register as a sex offender – probably should have killed himself long before he got into this mess…because this song and dance shit from TV is more humiliating than publicly being outted the worst kind a sexual deviant… I guess the real tragedy in this is that he didn’t bring down the tranny with him, not that she’s that bad since becoming a hot influencer chick who mooches off the press from these people dying. Here are some of her pics: The post Mark Salling Pervert Predator Sex Offender Suicide of the Day appeared first on DrunkenStepFather.com .
Source: Kevin Key / Slworking / Getty A meteor lit up the skies across serval states including Michigan late Tuesday night, causing a magnitude 2.0 earthquake near New Haven. What many described as a shockwave then a fireball shooting across the sky, the meteor caught many people by surprise before burning up in the atmosphere. According to some experts the meteors like this typically never reach Earth’s atmosphere, but this one was large enough to get closer to the planet, scaring many folk on the ground. People freaked out about it on Twitter. Should we have a fear of meteors reaching the Earth one day?
