In a foreward to a new report published by The Royal College of Anaesthetists and the Association of Anaesthetists of Great Britain and Ireland, a woman identified only as “Sandra” describes being conscious during an orthodontic operation, while under anesthesia. Suddenly, I was aware something had gone very wrong. I could hear what was going on around me, and I realized with horror that I had woken up in the middle of the operation, but couldn’t move a muscle.

    The Daily Dot, Sunday - 05/05/2024 - 10:44 AM

    ABC News host Jonathan Karl called out Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) after he suggested Jan. 6 rioters "just wandered into the Capitol." During a Sunday interview on ABC's This Week, Karl confronted Cotton with a statement he made following the Jan. 6 riot at the U. S. Capitol. "It's past time for the president to accept the results of the election, quit misleading the American people, and repudiate mob violence," Cotton said at the time. "More than three years later, Trump has still not accepted the results," Karl noted.

    The Daily Dot, Sunday - 05/05/2024 - 10:43 AM

    Pete Hegseth did try to bring this disgusting moment back to reality after Rachel Campos-Duffy made a hammer joke about Paul Pelosi, the former Speaker's husband, who was the victim of a violent home invasion. On any other network, though, that would be worth being fired. But alas, this is the Fox News network where it's OK if a Democrat is attacked.

    The Daily Dot, Sunday - 05/05/2024 - 09:00 AM

    Trump continues to find the very worst people who want to sell their souls to shill for him during his cult rallies. This week he held a rally in Wisconsin in between court appearances and nap-time in Manhattan, and helped a Wisconsin restaurant owner spew this nonsense: On Wednesday, vegan restaurant owner Shana Gray joined former President Donald Trump on stage for his rally in Waukesha, Wis., where they claimed that her restaurant, which opened in 2023, did better when Trump was in office.
