Spain Sets Up Ranger Patrol To Protect Villages From Massive Bears That Were Once Nearly Extinct
New York Post | Feb. 10, 2024 | Angela Barbuti

Spain’s Iberian brown bear population, which was once almost extinct, has made such a strong recovery that a ranger patrol was set up to deter them from roaming into small villages in the country’s north.

The regional government of Castile and Leon arranged for the patrol, which consists of nine rangers, to guard residents and their crops in the mining town of Villablino and the surrounding area, in the province of Palencia . . .

…

Each bear can weigh from 330 to 550 pounds and stand over 6.5 feet tall . . .

…

Angeles Orallo, 73, has been attempting to keep the bears away from her vegetable garden.

“We are older people… the fact that we can’t go out for a quiet walk is sad,” she lamented. . .

[Got news for you, Angeles: it ain’t your vegetables or your quiet walk they’re interested in.]

…

Thirty years ago, there were only 60 bears left in Spain, but today, the country is home to 400.

Hey, bears: do you want to go extinct? Because this is how you go extinct.

. . . I’ll try to refrain from commenting too much on this story on our PG-13 site.

‘Nylon Rope Will Be Provided’: University Quietly Walks Back ‘Introduction to Bondage’ Class After Parents Push Back
The Blaze | February 8, 2024 | Paul Sacca

Indiana University – Purdue University Indianapolis reportedly scrubbed a “workshop” about bondage after parents complained about the controversial course.

{The university] had reportedly planned to offer an “Introduction to Bondage” free workshop for all students on Feb. 13. However, the university quietly walked back the controversial class after pushback from parents, according to reports.

The New York Post reported, “The Hoosier handcuff symposium was slated to be led by a ‘national rope presenter’ named Fynch, whose bio boasts of PhD level mastery of ‘basic negotiation, the anatomy of the arm, as well as the anatomy of the hip, groin, and upper leg.'”

!

Come on, lab partner!

Citing Ryan Anderson, assistant director of the office of health and wellness promotion, the Collegiate Commons reported, “It will be an hour-long workshop with the first portion being our instructor Fynch talking about basic bondage techniques, skills, and safety, consent, and communication with bondage, and in general, and demonstrating a few ties on her partner. The second part of the workshop will be an opportunity for participants, based on comfortability, to practice basic ties demonstrated first by our instructor.”

The college course added, “Nylon rope will be provided and I along [with] our instructor and others will be walking around to assist.”

“No barbed wire?”

“No, that would be kinky.”

The so-called lesson categorized “bondage” as “a form of consensual and recreational sex play that involves tying, restraining, or binding a person with rope, handcuffs, or other items that can restrict movement.”

Collegiate Commons noted that Fynch is active on “FetLife,” a fetish-oriented social media platform, where the individual reportedly wrote about rape, coercion, and “suggested child pornography.”

So, basically, Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden.

The “lesson” was allegedly part of the university’s “Relationship Week.”

However, the course was nixed . . . .

I notice no one underwent any “discliplinary actions” . . .

. . . by the public university on Wednesday after backlash from parents.

Jacob Stewart, an IUPUI student, said, “My university has faced controversy during my time here for not doing enough to protect students from sexual assault This [event] is not making campus safer, nor is it making the sex lives of students any safer – all it’s doing is showing how far IUPUI has gotten from its actual educational mission.”
