Khloé Kardashian says she owns frozen embryos as True asks for a sister New

Khloé Kardashian says she owns frozen embryos as True asks for a sister

Published 10:18 9 Oct 2026 GMT+1The star has sparked speculation that she could be preparing to welcome another childKhloé Kardashian recently opened up about her decision to remain celibate for four years, but it seems expanding her family might still be on the cards despite this.Kardashian, who already shares two children with her ex-partner Tristan Thompson, has revealed that her daughter True is desperate for a little sister.Judging by a rather unexpected conversation in the latest trailer for The Kardashians, the eight-year-old might already have an idea about how to make that happen.In the teaser, Kardashian discusses the possibility of having another baby.AdvertShe shocks her mum, Kris Jenner, by explaining that True knows all about the family's frozen embryos."True is, like, laser-focused on that she has a sister in the freezer," Kardashian tells Jenner.Clearly taken aback by the revelation, Jenner responds: "Oh, no."Khloé Kardashian revealed she is possibly planning another baby (instagram/khloekardashian)Kardashian then adds: "And she's told people,…"Before she can finish, Jenner interrupts: "She hears everything."However, it's what Kardashian says next that really catches her mum off guard."I own the embryo outright. Don't even need to tell Tristan this is happening, because I own them. They're my embryos," she declares.A stunned Jenner struggles to find the words, responding: "What? Are you… what?"After Kardashian unleashes a jokingly evil laugh suggesting she’s planning something, Jenner asks her daughter: "Have you lost your mind?"While Kardashian doesn't confirm whether she's actually planning to use one of the embryos, the conversation certainly suggests she's been thinking about the possibility.The Good American founder is already mum to True and son Tatum, four, whom she welcomed with Thompson in 2018 and 2022 respectively.Tatum was born via surrogate following the former couple's turbulent relationship, which was rocked by multiple cheating scandals.Kardashian and Thompson have since gone their separate ways romantically, although they continue to co-parent their children.The latest baby revelation comes shortly after Kardashian made headlines for discussing her sex life, or rather, the lack of one.It follows her revelation about celibacy for four years (instagram/khloekardashian)During a recent episode of The Kardashians, she revealed that she'd reached the four-year mark without having sex.The admission prompted plenty of conversation online, particularly as the reality star has previously spoken about prioritising herself and her children over finding another relationship.Despite her decision to remain celibate, Kardashian has never ruled out having more children.As her latest conversation with Jenner suggests, having another baby wouldn't necessarily mean rekindling her relationship with Thompson or finding a new partner.Frozen embryos can be used in fertility treatment years after they're created, although the legal requirements surrounding their use depend on the circumstances and relevant consent arrangements.Kardashian's comments about owning the embryos are her own account of the situation, rather than confirmation of any future fertility plans.For now, it appears True is the one most enthusiastic about adding another member to the family.“All True does… she wants a sister,” Khloe told Paige DeSorbo on a recent episode of Khloe in Wonder Land, referring again to the embryo ‘in the freezer’.“She's on ice, but I just don't know,” she revealed, before adding: “I think girls need a sister, but am I just programmed to think that?”Whether Kardashian decides to make her daughter's wish a reality remains to be seen, but Jenner's hilarious reaction suggests the possibility has already caused quite a stir.Fans will have to wait to see whether the conversation leads to anything more when the new season of The Kardashians continues.Featured Image Credit: instagram/khloekardashianTopics: Khloe Kardashian, The Kardashians, Pregnancy, Parenting

Sipas Reuters, çmimet e naftës në SHBA janë rritur me rreth 70% që nga fillimi i luftës me Iranin, duke arritur në 6.28 dollarë për galon.Qeveria amerikane po kërkon mënyra për të ulur kostot, me më pak se katër javë të mbetura deri në zgjedhjet e mesit të mandatit më 3 nëntor.

Monkey torture ringleader jailed as judge questions five-year maximum sentence New

Monkey torture ringleader jailed as judge questions five-year maximum sentence

Bartosz Poklek was the ringleader of an international network of zoo sadists (Picture: CPS/PA Wire) The ringleader of an international network dedicated to torturing and killing monkeys for entertainment has been jailed for three years and three months. Bartosz Poklek, 30, from Bexley, south-east London, played a leading role in an online community known as the ‘monkey hate’ network, distributing thousands of animal abuse videos and allegedly directing how the animals should be tortured and killed. Woolwich Crown Court heard he sold videos for up to $500 each, wrote scripts detailing how monkeys should be mutilated and dismembered, and repeatedly requested that animals be killed with a hammer. Some of the monkeys were dressed in bonnets and nappies and fed from baby bottles before being attacked, raising concerns that the animals were being used as ‘proxy infants’ by people interested in the abuse of children. Sentencing Poklek on Friday, Judge Christopher Grout described the case as one of the most horrific examples of animal cruelty he had encountered. ‘There is a vile underground community who have a hatred of monkeys, particularly baby monkeys, and take pleasure in seeing such monkeys being tortured and killed,’ he told the court. Poklek has been jailed for three years and three months (Picture: Central News/Web collect) The judge also questioned whether the maximum five-year prison sentence for animal cruelty was sufficient. ‘If ever there was a case that demonstrates that the statutory maximum for animal cruelty is too low, this is it,’ he said. The court heard the abuse took place in south-east Asia, with macaque monkeys subjected to prolonged torture on camera for paying viewers around the world. People were reportedly drawn into the network after showing an interest in animal abuse content on platforms including YouTube, Facebook and TikTok, before being invited into private groups on Discord and Telegram. Some paid to ‘adopt’ a monkey, allowing them to make requests about how it would be tortured. Prosecutor Alex Kettle-Williams said Poklek, who used the online name ‘BP’, ran a group called ‘BP empire’ and was a ‘controlling figure’ in the community. Police found evidence that he had requested the killing of a stump-tailed monkey, written scripts for abuse videos and repeatedly called for animals to be killed with a hammer. The investigation uncovered thousands of videos, including footage of baby monkeys being subjected to prolonged and violent abuse. Poklek came to police attention after attempting to obtain court documents relating to a monkey torture case in the United States. An international investigation involving the Metropolitan Police, the National Wildlife Crime Unit, West Mercia Police and US authorities followed. Poklek admitted running a large-scale monkey torture ring between June 2023 and September 2025. He also pleaded guilty to publishing obscene videos for gain, possessing indecent images of children and possessing ketamine. The court heard that concerns about the links between monkey torture and child abuse material had emerged in cases involving other members of the international network. Defending Poklek, Alexia Nicol said he struggled to explain how he had become involved in the offending. She said he had been seeking recognition as an organiser rather than financial gain, describing him as isolated and spending long periods online while using drugs. Adeolu Odusote, of the Crown Prosecution Service, said Poklek had been ‘a key cog in a vile trade that oversaw and encouraged the sickening torture of monkeys’. He added that the prosecution had been made possible through extensive cooperation between British and international authorities.

Danilo Vučić stigao na skup SNS-a uz blinkere koje je njegov otac kritikovao

Ovako je Vučić pričao o "blinkerima" 2019. godine: Brinem da narod ne kaže što su ovi naprednjaci bahatiInače, Aleksandar Vučić je na sednici Glavnog odbora Srpske napredne stranke u junu 2019. godine kritikovao funkcionere te stranke zbog korišćenje "blinkera".On je tada rekao da je na putu do te sednice video "ni sam ne zna koliko kola" funkcionera te stranke sa "blinkerima". Naveo je i da pravo na "blinkere" na vozilima imaju samo on i još dva čoveka u zemlji, a ne 30 njih."Svaki čovek 'opsuje majku' kad to vidi. Trube sirene, jedan, treći, peti, preko pune linije... Ja nisam imao 'blinker' jer brinem da narod ne kaže 'što su ovi naprednjaci bahati'", rekao je tom prilikom Vučić.

Hitler Mussolini eletto sindaco in Perù con un partito di centrosinistra New

Hitler Mussolini eletto sindaco in Perù con un partito di centrosinistra

Si chiama Hitler Mussolini Simeón Flores, ha 45 anni ed è stato eletto sindaco di Queropalca - un piccolo distretto incastonato tra le Ande peruviane - con il partito di centrosinistra Ahora Nación. Non è l'unico e neppure il primo politico della storia del Perù a portare questo nome: secondo i dati dell'anagrafe peruviana nel paese ci sono quattromila persone che si chiamano Hitler. E alcuni di loro hanno ricoperto importanti incarichi politici. Chi è Hitler Mussolini Simeón Flores e come ha vinto le elezioni Il 4 ottobre 2026 Hitler Mussolini ha vinto le elezioni amministrative del distretto di Queropalca, nella provincia di Lauricocha, regione di Huánuco, a nord di Lima. Si tratta di un piccolo territorio montano che, secondo le stime ufficiali del 2024, conta appena 730 abitanti. Ha vinto con 25 voti di scarto: Hitler Mussolini ha preso il 34,54% (229 preferenze) mentre il suo avversario, Gaspar Benilde Osorio Zambrano, si è fermato al 30,77% (187). Simeón Flores si è candidato con il partito di centrosinistra Ahora Nación, contro Renovación Popular Perú, formazione conservatrice. Si tratta di due forze radicate nel paese e con proiezione nazionale: An ha eletto dei rappresentanti sia alla Camera che al Senato, mentre Rpp è stata fondata da Rafael López Aliaga, già sindaco di Lima e candidato alle presidenziali del 2026. Nato a Queropalca il 6 agosto 1981, Hitler Mussolini ha completato gli studi secondari e, secondo la dichiarazione biografica depositata presso le autorità elettorali, dal 2023 al 2026 ha lavorato come dirigente del Grupo de Inversiones Simeon SAC, un'impresa privata con sede nella regione di Huánuco. Prima di candidarsi con il centrosinistra militava in Fuerza Popular, il partito di destra che oggi governa la nazione: la leader e fondatrice è l'attuale Presidente del Perù, Keiko Fujimori, figlia del dittatore di origine giapponese Alberto Fujimori, che ha guidato il paese per dieci anni (dal 1990 al 2000). Hitler Mussolini ha lasciato Fuerza Popular nel 2025. Non solo Hitler Mussolini: gli altri politici con il nome del dittatore nazista Non si tratta del primo Hitler ad aver vinto un'elezione in Perù: nel 2018 Hitler Guesclin Alba Sánchez, esponente del partito di centrodestra Somos Perú, venne eletto sindaco di Yungar, un altro piccolo distretto andino, conquistando il 47,7% dei voti. Aveva già ricoperto lo stesso incarico tra il 2011 e il 2014; durante la campagna elettorale si presentava come il "buon Hitler" e utilizzava lo slogan "Hitler torna". Un altro caso è quello di Hitler Saavedra Casternoque, medico e politico di Somos Perú, eletto al Congresso peruviano nel 2021 come rappresentante della regione di Loreto. È rimasto parlamentare fino alla morte, avvenuta nel settembre del 2024, ad appena 46 anni. Casi analoghi si trovano anche fuori dal Perù: in Ecuador, Hitler Alonso Álvarez Bejarano è sindaco di El Guabo, nella provincia di El Oro. Eletto nel 2019, è stato riconfermato nel 2023 con il movimento politico regionale Sur Unido Regional. Perché in Perù ci sono quasi quattromila persone chiamate Hitler e cosa dice la legge La diffusione del nome Hitler in Perù è stata documentata dal quotidiano locale La República, che nel luglio 2023 ha chiesto informazioni al Registro Nacional de Identificación y Estado Civil (Reniec), l'ente che gestisce l'anagrafe nazionale. Dai dati ufficiali risultava che 3.943 cittadini peruviani portavano il nome Hitler. Tra questi, 99 si chiamavano Adolfo Hitler e altri tre Adolf Hitler; si tratta di dati riferiti al 2023, non ancora aggiornati al 2026. In Perù esiste la consuetudine di attribuire ai figli nomi stranieri, spesso di personaggi storici o di figure celebri, talvolta senza conoscerne pienamente il significato. Lo stesso Hitler Alba Sánchez, l'ex sindaco di Yungar, aveva raccontato che suo padre gli aveva dato quel nome perché all'epoca andavano di moda i nomi stranieri, senza conoscere la storia del dittatore tedesco. Invece, non sappiamo perché i genitori di Hitler Mussolini Simeón Flores abbiano scelto proprio questa combinazione. Un tempo il regolamento nazionale sull'anagrafe prevedeva esplicitamente il divieto di attribuire nomi considerati ridicoli, offensivi, contrari alla dignità personale o legati a determinate ideologie politiche. Però questa disposizione è stata  abrogata nel 1998. Tuttavia, la modifica di questa norma è successiva alla nascita di Simeón Flores, dunque il mistero resta. Oggi in Perù è possibile chiedere di cambiare il proprio nome. Secondo il Reniec, chi intende sostituirlo completamente deve avviare un procedimento giudiziario e dimostrare l'esistenza di motivazioni giustificate, come il carattere offensivo del nome o le conseguenze psicologiche che può provocare.

Bello Figo nega il palpeggiamento in camerino: «Giudicatemi come persona» New

Bello Figo nega il palpeggiamento in camerino: «Giudicatemi come persona»

Il trapper Bello Figo, nome d’arte di Paul Yeboah, ha respinto in tribunale a Bergamo l’accusa di violenza sessuale per un episodio avvenuto nel camerino del locale Vibe di Treviolo (Bergamo). Il 34enne, originario del Ghana e residente a Parma, è imputato per il presunto palpeggiamento del fondoschiena di una ragazza che all’epoca aveva 15 anni. L’episodio contestato risale alla notte tra il 6 e il 7 febbraio 2023. Rispondendo alle domande della pm Giulia Angeleri, dei suoi difensori Enrico Fontana e Giovanni Tarquini e della presidente del collegio Donatella Nava, l’artista ha negato ogni responsabilità. "Vorrei essere giudicato come persona, non come personaggio" ha detto in aula. La presidente ha precisato di non conoscerlo né come artista né come persona e di dover valutare esclusivamente i fatti emersi nel processo. Nel corso dell’udienza, l’imputato ha descritto il funzionamento delle serate e l’accesso al camerino, sostenendo che la gestione degli ingressi spettasse alla sicurezza del locale. La giovane e un’amica avevano riferito di essere state spinte da un bodyguard a entrare nell’area riservata. "Se è così mi dissocio, ma non mi è mai successo che un bodyguard buttasse dentro qualcuno in camerino", ha dichiarato Bello Figo, aggiungendo di non occuparsi della selezione degli ospiti. Prima di lui aveva testimoniato un 22enne di Treviolo, amico dell’altra ragazza, che ha raccontato di aver visto le due giovani uscire dal camerino in lacrime. Dopo aver contattato una delle due tramite Instagram, il ragazzo avrebbe appreso del presunto palpeggiamento e si sarebbe rivolto ai carabinieri. L’imputato ha contestato anche questo passaggio: secondo la sua versione, le ragazze erano serene e lui le aveva salutate senza notare pianti o particolari segnali di disagio. Durante l’esame è stata richiamata anche una frase pronunciata da Bello Figo in un video, riferita alle ragazze interessate soltanto a scattare fotografie e ad andarsene senza "assaggiare". Il trapper ha sostenuto che si trattasse del linguaggio ironico e provocatorio del suo personaggio e che il filmato fosse stato registrato prima del concerto, quindi non riferibile alla quindicenne. Sollecitato dalla presidente sul significato dell’espressione, ha parlato genericamente dei rapporti tra persone. Bello Figo ha inoltre dichiarato di non conoscere l’età della ragazza e di averla appresa soltanto dalla denuncia. Ha negato di aver sentito la frase "carne fresca", che la giovane avrebbe attribuito al bodyguard, e ha respinto con decisione il nucleo dell’accusa: "Non ho assolutamente" toccato la ragazza. Ha ricordato anche di averle scritto alle 4.02 per invitarla a raggiungerlo in un altro locale dopo la serata, senza che lei accettasse. Nel processo è stata ascoltata anche la fidanzata dell’imputato, che ha riferito di essere uscita dal camerino insieme alle altre due persone senza averle viste piangere. Una fotografia pubblicata sui social dal trapper aveva inoltre provocato numerosi attacchi nei suoi confronti. Bello Figo ha parlato degli insulti ricevuti online, compresi quelli di matrice razzista, e ha dichiarato di aver risarcito con circa 2500 euro la persona offesa per il danno morale. La decisione spetterà al collegio, chiamato a valutare la coerenza delle testimonianze e gli altri elementi raccolti nel procedimento.

Scarlett Moffatt welcomes son Clark early after birth ‘did not go to plan’ New

Scarlett Moffatt welcomes son Clark early after birth ‘did not go to plan’

Scarlett Moffatt has welcomed the birth of her second child with fiancé Scott Dobinson (Picture: Instagram) Scarlett Moffatt has announced the arrival of her second child with fiancé Scott Dobinson, revealing they have welcomed a baby boy named Clark Xander. The Gogglebox star, 35, shared a series of sweet photos on Instagram on Friday, including snaps of herself cuddling her newborn in hospital. Alongside the pictures, Scarlett revealed that Clark arrived earlier than expected and his birth did not go quite to plan. ‘Our beautiful boy is here! Clark Xander Dobinson,’ she wrote. ‘Arriving a little earlier than expected and not quite as straightforward as planned, our little family of four was made complete on Monday. ‘Our hearts have never been so full, and I’d do it all again for you, Clark.’ The TV personality shared a snap of herself cuddling her newborn in hospital (Picture: Instagram) Scarlett also appeared to share pictures from an operating theatre, suggesting she may have given birth by caesarean section, although she has not explicitly confirmed this. The TV personality and Scott are already parents to three-year-old son Jude, who is now a big brother. Scarlett announced her pregnancy in April, sharing an emotional video of herself holding up an ultrasound scan alongside Scott and Jude. The happy news came after she previously revealed that it took four years for her to conceive her first child. At the time, she described the pregnancy as a ‘little miracle’ and said the family felt ‘unbelievably lucky’ to be expecting another baby. ‘We are so grateful, so excited, and still a little bit in shock,’ she wrote. ‘Our hearts are fuller than we ever thought possible.’

Dakota Johnson ditched shaving for Fifty Shades—and a gynaecologist says it is not medically necessary New

Dakota Johnson ditched shaving for Fifty Shades—and a gynaecologist says it is not medically necessary

Updated 17:58 9 Oct 2026 GMT+1Published 11:17 9 Oct 2026 GMT+1The actress explained that the character she was playing was 'supposed to have never had a wax'A gynaecologist has shut down the myths surrounding pubic hair after Dakota Johnson admitted she grew hers out for one of her most famous movie roles.The 37-year-old revealed she ditched her razor for the first Fifty Shades of Grey movie in 2015, where she appeared fully nude while playing Anastasia Steele.She made the admission during the latest episode of Hot Ones Versus on Wednesday (7 October).The star explained: “I was full frontal, and she was supposed to have never had a wax.”AdvertAnne Hathaway, who she was in the episode with, asked: “And you didn’t wanna use a merkin?” to which Johnson simply responded: “No.”Even though it shouldn’t be one because women should just be able to do whatever they want with their bodies, the whole ‘to shave or not to shave’ has become an ongoing debate.The actress revealed she grew out her pubic hair for Fifty Shades of Grey (Universal Pictures)Weighing in on the conversation in an article on Every Stage Health, Dr. Holly W. Cummings explained that despite pubic hair being so natural for women, some people can be very emotional about it, with these feelings being deeply rooted in societal expectations and myths.In case you weren’t aware, pubic hair actually has a very important purpose in protecting us, just like the hair around your ears, nose, and eyes.Dr Cummings outlined: “It keeps the skin of your vulva warm and moisturized. It protects the delicate skin from friction during sexual activity. It keeps dust, dirt, and germs away from the vagina to prevent infection.”Researchers even suspect that it can play a role in sexual attraction and pleasure.The expert added: “What’s more, the vagina is a self-cleaning organ. If you sense a little body odor, it’s because your pubic hair is doing its job of trapping sweat, oil, and bacteria. To care for your pubic area, all you need to do is regularly rinse with water.”Shutting down another bizarre myth, the gynaecologist affirmed that, long story short, there is absolutely nothing ‘dirty or unclean about pubic hair,’ and there is no medical reason to remove it.A gynaecologist has assured that there's nothing unclean about pubic hair (Getty Stock Image)As per Healthline, if you are simply letting it grow, you don’t really need to do anything in terms of maintenance.If you do want to keep on top of it but without shaving, you can trim or shape it to your liking using a pube clipper, trimmer, or haircutting shears.The website explains that if you use scissors, it’s important to disinfect them first and designate the tool for that job.The experts advise: “Don’t use it on anything else. For your clipper or trimmer, follow the manufacturer’s directions for keeping it clean. Don’t share it.”If you choose to remove the hair, you have to take precautions to ensure you’re doing away with the hair in the safest way - and we all know there a whole lot of options out there.Johnson's admission has reignited the conversation (Sean Zanni/Patrick McMullan via Getty Images)Dr Cummings explained: “Trimming is the safest option because it shortens your pubic hair without cutting close to the skin, which can lead to injury or infection.”Another option is waxing; however, it can be painful, as the expert advised: “There is a risk of burns and general irritation, plus small cuts and other skin damage you can’t see.“If you choose waxing or sugaring, go to a licensed professional with lots of experience.”She warned that she’s not the biggest fan of shaving with a razor as it ‘can hurt sensitive skin, leading to rashes, ingrown hairs, and infection’.The gynaecologist concluded: “If you choose to shave, use a new, clean razor every time, as used razors can carry bacteria. It’s best to shave in the direction of hair growth if you can, but that can be hard to tell. It’s common for pubic hair to grow in multiple directions.”Featured Image Credit: Arnold Jerocki/Getty ImagesTopics: Women's Health, Life, Real Life, Celebrity

Keely Hodgkinson’s coach says speed suit aided injury—but Olympic deal bars it New

Keely Hodgkinson’s coach says speed suit aided injury—but Olympic deal bars it

Published 15:50 9 Oct 2026 GMT+1The catsuit looks highly unusual, being backless and including a skintight hood with a hole for a ponytailKeely Hodgkinson's team have insisted that the distinctive catsuit she recently donned does have benefits after Hodgkinson was barred from wearing it at the Olympics in 2028.The unusual garment is skin tight, partially backless, and also has a wetsuit-style hood that goes over the athlete's head, which is described as a 'sleek speed hood' and even has a special hole cut out of it at the back for her ponytail. All in all it looks more like something you might expect to see in a 1970s science fiction film rather than on the competitive field in 2026.Nonetheless, it is claimed that the specially designed suit may just give her a competitive edge over rivals in the mid distance running, something which Hodgkinson's team have insisted after she was barred from wearing it at the Olympics, though for different reasons.AdvertSpeaking to Athletics Weekly her coach Jenny Meadows said that the garment helps Hodgkinson with her performance, saying that she had been able to run in it after suffering from an injury when she fell badly prior to the Prefontaine Classic, The Sun reports.Hodgkinson wearing the catsuit in the ATHLOS London 2026 (Kate Green/Athlos/Getty Images)“She could hardly walk because her knees were so swollen," said Meadows. "She was in a really, really bad way. And she was very tearful all day.“By the end of the day, she got on an anti-gravity treadmill at the Center and she put the speed suit on. She said it helped her to be able to move."She added: “Without the speed suit, she couldn’t bend and flex her knee because of the inflammation."Hodgkinson's coach went on to say that the athlete, who is the sixth-fastest woman in history, had told her that the suit had helped a lot.“She was literally like: ‘Guys in this speed suit, I can run’," said Meadows. "Keely gives genuine feedback and the speed suit helped her run that day.“She says it feels like she’s not wearing anything. She says: ‘Honestly, it feels just so light. I can flow'.”However, Hodgkinson will not be able to wear the 'Zero-Distraction Speed Suit' when she competes for Team GB in Los Angeles for the 2028 Olympics, though not because of concerns around an unfair advantage, but due to conflicting sponsorship deals.Hodgkinson's coach said she thought the suit helped her performance (Kate Green/Athlos/Getty Images)The British Olympic Association has a sponsorship deal with Adidas, and the catwoman-like speed suit is made by Nike, a business competitor.Nonetheless, Meadows, who is herself a world championship silver medallist in the 800 metres, has said that the suit really does make a statement, and that her initial reaction when she first saw the suit was a little sceptical.“My initial reaction was like: ‘Oh, you’ve got to be brave to wear that'," she said, while her husband and fellow coach Trevor Painter had a different reaction. "Trevor was kind of like: ‘Yeah, you look Catwoman. Go for it. It’s so you'," she recalled."You’ve got to think: Is it faster or is it just a gimmick?" said Meadows. “You’ve actually got to walk out in front of an audience the first time and you’ve got to win in that thing. It’s a statement piece.”Featured Image Credit: Shaun Botterill/Getty ImagesTopics: UK News, Olympics, Sport

9 Quiet Signs You’re Carrying More Emotional Stress Than You Realize New

9 Quiet Signs You’re Carrying More Emotional Stress Than You Realize

1. Small decisions suddenly feel strangely exhaustingChoosing what to eat, answering a simple message or deciding when to leave can feel disproportionately difficult when your mental bandwidth is crowded. The problem may not be the decision itself; it may be everything already competing for your attention.Reduce unnecessary choices for a while. Repeat easy meals, prepare clothes in advance or make a short priority list. Simplifying routine decisions can preserve energy for choices that genuinely need thought.2. Rest no longer leaves you feeling restoredYou may sleep, spend an evening watching television or cancel plans, yet still wake up feeling depleted. Physical inactivity is not always the same as emotional rest. Rumination, unresolved tension and constant digital input can keep the mind working even when the body is still.Try asking what kind of rest you actually need: sleep, quiet, movement, connection or relief from responsibility. The right form of recovery is often more helpful than simply doing nothing.3. Minor inconveniences trigger outsized emotional reactionsA slow internet connection, misplaced key or harmless comment may provoke anger, tears or sudden despair. This does not necessarily mean you are overreacting by nature. Sometimes a minor event becomes the final demand on an already overloaded system.Instead of judging the reaction, treat it as information. Pause before responding, identify what else has been building and postpone avoidable conflict. Addressing the accumulated strain is usually more useful than focusing only on the last irritation.4. You keep withdrawing from people you valueWhen emotional energy is low, even enjoyable conversation can feel like another obligation. You might ignore messages, decline invitations or hope nobody asks how you are. Solitude can be restorative, but prolonged withdrawal may also remove the support that could make life feel lighter.You do not need to become highly social. Try one low-pressure connection: a short walk, a voice note or an honest message explaining that your quietness is not rejection.5. Your inner voice becomes unusually harshStress often changes the way people interpret ordinary mistakes. Forgetting an appointment becomes evidence that you are unreliable; needing help feels like personal failure. This harsh commentary can deepen exhaustion because every difficulty is followed by self-criticism.Notice whether you would use the same words with someone you respect. Replace sweeping judgments with precise language: “I missed this” rather than “I ruin everything.” Accuracy is not empty positivity; it prevents one difficult moment from defining your entire character.6. You stay busy to avoid being stillConstant cleaning, scrolling, working or organising can look productive while quietly serving another purpose: preventing uncomfortable thoughts from surfacing. Busyness is not automatically unhealthy, but it becomes costly when stillness feels threatening or guilt appears whenever you pause.Experiment with a brief, contained period without tasks or screens. Write down whatever keeps demanding attention. You do not have to solve it immediately; naming the worry can make it less likely to control your schedule from the background.7. Pleasant moments barely register anymoreA favourite meal, kind message or beautiful afternoon may pass without creating much feeling. Emotional overload can narrow attention toward problems, leaving little room to absorb experiences that would normally matter. Forcing gratitude may only add pressure.Instead, practise simple recognition without demanding a particular emotion: “This coffee is warm,” or “That person was thoughtful.” The goal is not to manufacture happiness. It is to give positive or neutral moments enough attention to be noticed at all.8. You crave control over insignificant detailsWhen important parts of life feel uncertain, controlling small details can create temporary safety. You may become rigid about schedules, irritated when plans change or overly focused on how others complete simple tasks. The detail is often less important than the stability it represents.Ask what uncertainty sits underneath the urge to control. Then separate genuine needs from preferences. Keeping one or two dependable routines can help, while deliberately allowing flexibility in lower-stakes situations prevents control from creating additional tension.9. You cannot clearly name what you needOne of the clearest signs of emotional overload is a vague sense that something is wrong without knowing what would help. Hunger, loneliness, resentment, fear and fatigue can blur together, making every solution feel inadequate.Start with the body and immediate environment: Have you eaten, slept, moved or had quiet? Then complete the sentence, “Right now, I need less…” or “Right now, I need more…” A specific need is easier to communicate and address than a general feeling of being overwhelmed.

Oglas U prostorijama Regulatornog tela za elektronske medije (REM) došlo je do verbalne rasprave glavnog i odgovornog urednika TV Informer Dragana J.

Sram vas bilo!Trajković: Je l' vi meni pretite otkazom?Vučićević: Ja vam ne pretim, ja vam kažem ovo je otkaz za ovu instituciju.Trajković: Je l' vi meni pretite otkazom?Vučićević: Vi meni pretite. Vi ste meni prišli ovde.Trajković: I upoznala se sa vama da znate ko je napisao ovo (izveštaj o Informeru, prim. N1).Vučićević: Sram vas bilo kako ste napisali izveštaj.Trajković: Odličan izveštaj.Vučićević: Sram vas bilo! Sram Vas bilo! Tendeciozno. Vi ne zaslužujete da budete u ovoj instituciji.Trajković: Sram vas bilo kakav program...Vučićević: Vi ste daleko od objektivnog čoveka. Nemoj to da radite. Vi mene napadate ovde. Lažete da sam ja doveo da neko nekog napada.Trajković: Sramota je za vaš program to što vi radite.Vučićević: Stvarno?Trajković: To je sramota.Vučićević: Sramota je to što vi radite. Vi treba da budete objektivni.Utom se umešala druga zaposlena u REM-u koja se Vučićeviću glasno obratila rečima: Molim vas! Molim Vas!Vučićević: Nemojte da vičete na mene!Zaposlena u REM: Ja sam isto grlata kao i vi. Ja sam sa druge planine.Vučićević: Nemoj da vičete, bre! Ona je meni prišla, nisam ja njoj.Zaposlena u REM: Nemaš pravo da napadaš moje zaposlene.Vučićević: Šta pričate, gospođo! Sve je snimljeno ko je koga napao.Zaposlena u REM: Neka je. Nema rasprave sa zaposlenimaVučićević: Pa, ona je mene napala, ona je meni prišla, nisam ja njoj! Prestanite da urlate, bre! Ona je meni prišla, jeste li videli svi? Jeste li videli svi? A, šta ti Zekiću snimaš? (Obraća se novinaru N1 Milošu Zekiću) Šta ti nije jasno?Zatim je prišao još jedan radnik REM-a i poručio: Moramo da zadržimo jedan nivo komunikacije.Vučićević: Ljudi, pa je l' ste videli? Ti si bio tu. Je l' ona meni prišla i meni pretila? Nisam ja njoj. Ova gospođa Trajković.Podsetimo, na sednici Saveta REM-a, održanoj 6. oktobra, doneta je odluka da se pokrenu dva istražna postupka protiv televizije Informer.Odluku je doneo Savet REM-a po prijavama člana Saveta Rodoljuba Šabića i BIRODI-ja.Na sednici je rečeno da su Zakonom o elektronskim medijima utvrđene povrede više članova ovog zakona.
