Thank you comic-book-turned-tv-show gods.

Brian Michael Bendis' Powers is a show that had been in development hell for so long I never thought I'd see the day.

Ecstasy And Ketamine Have Been Accidentally Legalised In Ireland

Possession of various drugs, including crystal meth, is legal in the Republic of Ireland until the country’s parliament can pass emergency legislation.

Ireland accidentally legalised possession of many drugs including Ecstasy and ketamine on Tuesday, after courts confirmed the existence of an loophole in the law.

Ireland accidentally legalised possession of many drugs including Ecstasy and ketamine on Tuesday, after courts confirmed the existence of an loophole in the law.

Wikipedia Commons

The Republic of Ireland's court of appeal ruled that the legislative method used to ban hundreds of stimulants since 1977 was unconstitutional. The court's ruling, made in a test case, means that successive Irish governments have inadvertently been acting illegally for decades by banning drugs without referring the decisions to parliament.

The decision had the instant effect of legalising the possession of large numbers of drugs until the Irish government can bring forward new laws.

According to a statement from Ireland's Department of Health, the "sale and supply of psychoactive substances remains an offence" while rules affecting the possession of older drugs such as heroin, cocaine, or cannabis are not affected by the decision.

The Dáil, the lower house of the Irish parliament, is expected to pass the new emergency legislation on Tuesday. But the law will then require the approval of the upper house, or Seanad, which can meet only on Wednesday.

Given that the new legislation can only go into effect the day after it is approved by parliament, Ecstasy and ketamine will remain legal until Thursday at the earliest.

This Man Was Willing To Sleep Outside In Freezing Temperatures To Avoid Being Separated From His Dog

But thanks to the kindness of local organizations in Indianapolis, Bernard Holland is getting back on his feet.

A man who was willing to sleep outside during a brutal winter in order to stay with his beloved dog is getting back on his feet thanks to the kindness of strangers.

Holland had moved to the city from Michigan in November and at first had stayed with family.

However, he soon found himself without a place to go and could not find a shelter that would accept his pup, the newspaper reported.

But leaving Oreo wasn't an option. So instead, Holland set up a tent at a homeless camping area and braved nights of below-zero temperatures with Oreo at his side.

Facebook: horizonhouseindy

The organization began to work with Holland on finding a livable situation for him and Oreo to be safe during the winter.

Soon after, a dog daycare called Wigglebutt Doghouse stepped up. The group offered to take care of Oreo until Holland could get back on his feet.

"She's safe, and I know they're taking good care of her," Holland said.

Through the help of these local organizations, Holland was able by February to begin working part-time at the dog daycare. He has since been able to secure a motel for himself and Oreo to live in together, the Indianapolis Star reported.

"It is amazing to see the change in Bernard since this all happened," Melissa Burgess from Horizon House told the newspaper. "He was very sad and lost when we first encountered him, and now he is more energized and up. We are very proud of him."

Update: Facebook has responded in a statement and removed “feeling fat” as one of their status update options.

Facebook wrote in a statement:

We've heard from our community that listing "feeling fat" as an option for status updates could reinforce negative body image, particularly for people struggling with eating disorders. So we're going to remove "feeling fat" from the list of options. We'll continue to listen to feedback as we think about ways to help people express themselves on Facebook.

Read the original story below.

Facebook is always looking for ways to pinpoint exactly what you're doing and how you're feeling.

Yes, The League Has Said It Will Match Apple Watch Users

Elites!

Brendan Klinkenberg

The League, a new dating app best described as Tinder-but-for-Stanford-grads, announced to users Monday night that it's going to begin matching Apple Watch users together.

No word on whether that means they'll be developing their own app for the Watch, or just finding people who list themselves as Apple Watch owners on their Linkedin profiles and matching them up together.

The League often sends out jokey notifications, so it's not completely clear to what degree it is being serious here. The intended purpose of yoking the be-Watched is also unclear: Is the point that Apple Watch users would prefer to communicate via the watch with potential partners who also own one, or is it more about elitists — or at least tech snobs — wanting to date other elitists?

The League also called it the iWatch, which I'm presenting without comment because I'm not a nerd.

BuzzFeed News has reached out to The League for comment.

This Is What Life In The Circus Is Like For Lions And Tigers

The decision to take elephants out of the Ringling Bros. Circus is an important step. But there is a long way to go to ensure that no animals are suffering for our entertainment.

Last week, Ringling Bros. Circus announced that elephants would no longer be a part of its circus performances after 2018.

Last week, Ringling Bros. Circus announced that elephants would no longer be a part of its circus performances after 2018.

The move is considered a step in the right direction toward cruelty-free circuses that do not feature animals. However, many animal welfare organizations noted concern that other wild animals will continue to be used in the circus despite evidence that they suffer similarly cruel treatment.

Jan Creamer, president of Animal Defenders International, said in a press release, “After decades of exposing the suffering of animals in circuses behind the scenes, ADI is very pleased to hear this announcement from Ringling Bros., and we encourage other circuses to move to animal-free shows. The evidence is clear that in the circumstances of a traveling show, it is not possible to provide these animals with the environment and facilities they need to maintain health and well-being."

Seth Wenig / Associated Press

One of the most compelling cases for removing animals from the circus is the evidence of big cats being mistreated.

One of the most compelling cases for removing animals from the circus is the evidence of big cats being mistreated.

Lions and tigers are featured attractions in many circuses around the world — but they suffer tremendously in the stress of captivity, forced performance, and life on the road. Below are just a handful of facts about what big cats endure in the circus.

Jorge Saenz / Associated Press

1. Cubs are removed from their mothers months — and sometimes years — before they would wean themselves in the wild in order to make them behave more submissively toward humans.

2. Witnesses from Animal Defense International saw and photographed a baby tiger being smashed in the face in order to make him "behave."

3. For every performing lion or tiger, 30 lions or tigers are destroyed because they don't have the look or temperament for training.

4. The wheelbarrow used to transport meat to the tigers for feeding was reportedly the same one used to haul sawdust and hay contaminated with animal waste, according to a report by a former employee.

5. A Chicago animal inspection revealed that tigers used in the shows were transported to and from performances in rolling cages and that there were no practice performances, meaning that the only exercise the tigers received was during shows.

6. One report by Animal Defenders International revealed that tigers spend between 75% and 99% of their time in cramped 6.5-foot-by-8-foot cages.

7. A Marin Humane Society report revealed that the tigers' cages had no protection from the sun and were not large enough for the tigers to turn around completely.

8. The same report noted that there were often times when the tigers had no access to water.

9. A tiger trainer with Ringling Bros. testified that five tigers that were not part of the show were never let out of their transport cages or given exercise opportunities.

10. When big cats run into the ring with what looks like enthusiasm, they are actually running in fear of their handlers who bang on the cages and cage tunnels with iron bars and scream at them.

11. Even though tigers are solitary animals, they are housed in groups in the circus.

12. This is potentially the reason that a tiger named Sylva got into a bloody fight with another tiger and suffered numerous injuries and was sent away to an unknown location rather than being treated by a veterinarian.

13. When tigers and lions were housed together in a British circus, a lioness named Narla was seriously injured by a tiger and then circus workers attempted to hide her from safety inspectors who only detected her after they saw video footage from the inspection, revealing how easy it is to cover up abuse.

14. When big cats can no longer perform, they are often sold to the highest bidder. This means that taxidermists, canned hunt businesses, and illegal animal parts traders often end up with the animals.
