Clemson University Students Protest After School Removes Feminine Hygiene Products From Campus Men’s Rooms | The Gateway Pundit

In the age of woke, some schools have started putting tampons in men’s rooms in case a trans man is using the bathroom and needs one.

At Clemson University, the College Republicans mocked the school for doing this and the school eventually removed the products.

Now students are protesting because everything is this stupid now.

FOX News reports:


Students march against university removing tampons from men’s bathrooms


Students at Clemson University held a march this week to protest the removal of feminine hygiene products from men’s bathrooms on campus.


“About 50 students marched across Clemson University on Wednesday to demand that menstrual products be returned to men’s bathrooms in Cooper Library and that the Clemson College Republicans be reprimanded for their role in the tampons’ removal,” The College Fix wrote on Friday.


“Take Back Pride” holds an annual march, but the main student organizer of the event, Pan Tankersley declared, “Today, we are marching for the reinstatement of the menstrual products in the men’s restrooms in Cooper Library and throughout campus.”


This follows the reported quiet removal of these dispensaries from men’s rooms after the Clemson College Republicans condemned their presence on social media.


“If you weren’t aware already, Clemson University has tampon/pad dispensers in the MEN’S restrooms located in Cooper Library,” the conservative student organization tweeted in mid-September, adding, “We truly live in [clown] world.”

PS5 Slim marks the beginning of the end for game discs

OPINION: Sony has revealed an all-new design for the PS5, with a more slender design seeing fans unofficially name the revamped console the PS5 Slim. 

Sony claims it has reduced the size of the original PS5 by 30%, with a tighter casing and narrower design. It’s an impressive feat, while seemingly maintaining the same level of cooling to prevent the fans from going into overdrive as they did on the PS4

But the most interesting aspect about the PS5 Slim is what Sony has done with the disc drive. Rather than physically integrating it into the design of the PS5, Sony has instead made it a modular add-on accessory. You can still purchase the PS5 with the disc drive pre-attached, but it’s now removable and can even be purchased separately. 

PS5 disc drive

It’s a clever move by Sony, as it streamlines the manufacturing process since both the PS5 and PS5 Digital now have the same core design, with the only difference being the detachable disc drive. Previously, there were concerns that factories had to find a careful balance of the production of both the PS5 and PS5 Digital Edition in order to meet demand. 

However, when looking at the new PS5 and PS5 Digital Edition side by side, I can’t help but feel that Sony has compromised on its vision by fitting on that disc drive, resulting in an unsightly design with a bulge that looks like some kind of growth. In comparison, the PS5 Digital Edition looks beautiful, with its case curving inwards in order to take up as little space as possible.

It’s clear to me that Sony prioritised the design of the Digital Edition, and then worked backwards in order to incorporate the modular disc drive. This is a curious decision, with VGChartz reporting back in 2020 that the PS5 Digital Edition was the less popular option with gamers, only taking up 25% of the total sales – although that could have changed in the following three years.

PS5 Slim compared to PS5 Slim DigitalPS5 Slim compared to PS5 Slim Digital

But there’s no doubt that the digital games market is on an upwards trajectory. Push Square reported back in July 2022 that nearly 80% of all game sales on PS4 and PS5 were digital purchases rather than a physical disc. With such results, it’s no surprise that Sony is edging towards making the disc drive as an optional add-on accessory rather than integrating it into the design. 

I have to say that, despite early pessimism, I now embrace the all-digital age. When the PS5 first launched I opted for the disc drive model, as I wanted to still have the option to purchase discs as well make use of my Blu-Ray collection. But that seems like a waste of money in hindsight, as I rarely ever buy physical game discs and I now find myself watching Netflix, Disney Plus and the like rather than digging out any of my old Blu-Rays. 

The only use case of the disc drive that I’ve found to be useful is enabling me to play my old PS4 games on the PS5 console, especially if there’s been a ‘next-gen’ update for the likes of Witcher 3. But once the PS6 launches, I doubt that will be an issue since almost all of my PS5 games are now digital. 

PS5 Slim next to DualSensePS5 Slim next to DualSense

I also think the move to all-digital consoles will be fantastic for the environment. We’d reduce the amount of plastic waste, as well as the CO₂ emissions caused by delivering games to the many retailers across the globe. 

Sony will likely be hesitant to switch entirely over to digital games, as it will risk upsetting major retailers such as Amazon. But there’s no reason why online retailers can’t stock additional game codes for digital downloads instead. Such a move would also prevent Sony from having a closed market for game sales, ensuring that there’s still competitive pricing. 

The only plausible argument I can think of in favour of retaining physical game discs is game preservation. Nintendo’s recent closure of the 3DS and Wii U eShops reignited concerns that it’s becoming increasingly more difficult to access older digital games. The only solace is that most old games are still available in disc format, but that would no longer be the case if Sony did decide to axe physical games entirely for the PS6.

More needs to be done to ease concerns in regards to game preservation, but there’s no reason why Sony can’t ensure that a digital library of older PlayStation games can be accessible to all, either through the cloud or even on PC given Sony’s increased interest in the platform. 

Either way, the PS5 Slim is evidence that Sony no longer views the disc drive as an essential component for its console. In fact, it seems like Sony views it more like an irritating obstacle after seeing how it has been forced to compromise on the looks of its latest console. All signs point towards the PS6 becoming the first all-digital console, and that may not be such a bad thing.

Federal Lawsuit Filed Over New York State Ban on Gas Stoves That Democrats Said Wasn’t Happening | The Gateway Pundit

Remember the stupid ban on gas stoves? The one that Democrats insisted wasn’t happening?

Two professional groups have just filed a federal lawsuit over the ban in New York, claiming that the state doesn’t have the authority to put such a ban in place.

There needs to be more legal action like this. Democrats are out of bounds on this issue.

The FOX Business Network reports:


New York gas stove ban heats up as gas and construction groups file federal lawsuit


A group of gas and construction trade groups filed a federal lawsuit Thursday challenging the legality of New York’s ban on gas stoves and furnaces in new residential buildings in a move to challenge Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul’s push for green energy.


The case was filed by the National Association of Home Builders and the National Propane Gas Association, among others and names the New York Department of State as a defendant on the lawsuit.


The lawsuit alleges that New York does not have the legal ability to enforce the gas stove ban because a preexisting federal law, called the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA) of 1975, already regulates energy use policies.


“EPCA reflects Congress’s decision that the nation’s energy policy cannot be dictated by state and local governments,” the lawsuit says. “Such a patchwork approach would be the antithesis of a national energy policy.”


The builder and propane associations are asking a federal judge to rule that the state’s ban is unenforceable under federal law and for it to be blocked before it takes effect in 2026.


Republicans in the state are against the ban.


New Yorkers deserve the freedom to decide their home cooking methods. Banning gas stoves hikes energy costs, hinders housing growth, and strains the electric grid. Protecting choice and affordability is crucial! #MoreAffordableNY #MoreFreeNYhttps://t.co/pZwtxz3rN8


— NYS Senate Republicans (@nysenategop) October 13, 2023


Why can’t liberals just mind their own business on this? People should be free to choose what kind of stove they want.

Catholics in New York City Draw Thousands for Eucharistic Procession in ‘Mass for Israel’ (VIDEO) | The Gateway Pundit

Catholics in New York City drew a massive crowd for a Eucharistic procession that was part of a mass for Israel this week.

This is the opposite of what we have seen from the radical left in recent days, which has been holding rallies in support for the murderers of Hamas.

It just goes to show that there are good people everywhere in America, even in New York.

Church Pop reported:


Father Mike Schmitz Offers Mass for Israel in NYC Before Eucharistic Procession


On Tues., Oct. 10, thousands of Catholics gathered in New York City for Napa Institute’s Mass and Eucharistic procession at Saint Patrick’s Cathedral with renowned Catholic priest and speaker Father Mike Schmitz.


Father Mike celebrated Mass at 4:30 p.m. and later led Benediction and a Eucharistic procession through the streets of Manhattan.


Father Mike told participants he offered the Mass for peace in Israel after the Hamas attack, which took the lives of at least 1,200 people.


According to recent reports, the American death toll rose to 27. The Biden Administration announced they will work to evacuate U.S. citizens currently in Israel.


After mentioning Israel, Father Mike encouraged listeners to visit the country’s Via Dolorosa if ever given the chance.


Via Dolorosa is Latin for “Sorrowful Way.” It is the path Jesus took while carrying the cross on His way to Calvary.


“When He walked through the streets of Jerusalem carrying His cross, this was not Jesus in His glory. This was not Jesus in His power,” Father Mike said. “When God was in the process of saving the world, most people didn’t even know what was going on.”


“Many of them spat upon him and abused him as God was in the process of saving the world–as God was in the process of pouring himself out and love for us,” he said.


Watch below:

ICYMI: Hamas Calls on Palestinian People, Arab and Muslim Nations to INVADE Israel on Friday and Confront Israeli Soldiers for ‘Al-Aqsa Flood Operation’ | The Gateway Pundit

On Tuesday, the Hamas terrorist group issued a statement declaring Friday, October 13, as a day of general mobilization for the “Al-Aqsa Flood” operations. The militant organization has called on Palestinians in the West Bank and within Israel to participate in large-scale rallies towards the border of Israel and confront Israeli soldiers at every opportunity.

The Al-Aqsa Mosque is situated atop a hill known to Jews as Har ha-Bayit, or the Temple Mount, and to Muslims as al-Haram al-Sharif, meaning the Noble Sanctuary, in Jerusalem’s historic Old City, WION reported.

Worldwide, the mosque is the third most sacred site in Islam, following Mecca and Medina. The Al-Aqsa complex is home to two revered sites: the Al-Aqsa Mosque itself and the Dome of the Rock, a structure dating back to the seventh century. It is said that from this location, the Prophet Muhammad made his miraculous ascent to heaven.

Hamas urges Palestinians residing within Israel to participate in guarding duties within Al-Aqsa Mosque “to safeguard it, its Islamic heritage, and its divine message.”

The statement also calls upon Arabs, Muslims, and Palestinians in refugee camps worldwide to converge in massive gatherings and support the Palestinian cause.

The statement also emphasizes the need for unity among Palestinians, Arabs, and Muslims in defending the Al-Aqsa Mosque and confronting Israelis.

You can read the full statement released by Hamas which was translated by Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI).


“Declaration of General Mobilization


“Next Friday: ‘Al-Aqsa Flood Friday’ in support of Jerusalem, Al-Aqsa, and the jihad-waging Gaza.


“Palestine and its steadfast people, standing their ground, call upon you from the heart of the Al-Aqsa Flood battle. Answer the call, muster all your energies, and mobilize in numbers, both light and heavy, to support Jerusalem, Al-Aqsa, and the jihad waging Gaza.


“From Palestine, the land of Al-Isra and Al-Mi’raj, from the heart of Jerusalem and its surroundings, we extend this call to the living conscience within the hearts of the masses of our Arab and Islamic nation.


“The Palestinian resistance, led by the Al-Qassam Brigades, stands at the forefront, illustrating the most magnificent images of heroism and sacrifice against the Zionist occupation. They defend the land, Jerusalem, and the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque. They protect the dignity of Palestinian women and defend our male and female prisoners on behalf of our entire nation.


“From the fortress of resistance and pride in the Gaza Strip, from its steadfast people, men, women, children, and elders, who defy the occupation, and from its minarets, chambers, and mosques, which are subjected to the heinous aggression of the Zionist war machine, we send this call to the free sons and daughters of our Arab and Islamic nation across the world.


“Given this historic achievement of our people and their courageous resistance, and to bolster the steadfastness of the Palestinian people in the face of the open aggression of the occupation, thwart its schemes and dreams of Judaizing Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa, and achieve victory for the just cause of our Palestinian people and our struggle for the liberation of our land, prisoners, and sanctities, we, in the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), affirm the following:


“First: We declare next Friday, ‘The Friday of the Al-Aqsa Flood,’ as a day of general mobilization in our Arab and Islamic world and among the free people of the world. It is a day to rally support, offer aid, and participate actively. It is a day to expose the crimes of the occupation, isolate it, and foil all its aggressive schemes. It is a day to demonstrate our love for Palestine, Jerusalem, and Al-Aqsa. It is a day for sacrifice, heroism, and dedication, and to earn the honor of defending the first Qibla of Muslims, the third holiest mosque, and the ascension of the trusted Messenger.


“Second: We call upon our rebellious youth throughout the West Bank, in its cities, villages, and uprising camps, in the streets and neighborhoods of Jerusalem, and at the squares of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, to rise up, join massive demonstrations, and shake the ground beneath the feet of the Zionist invaders and their settler gangs. Engage with their soldiers and cowardly army in every place, affirming the unity of destiny and the path towards Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa, liberating them from the defilement of the Zionist occupation.


“Third: Our people within the occupied territories of 1948, people of honor and courage, who have borne much to preserve their Palestinian-Arab identity. This day is your day to mobilize, assemble, and stand united in guarding the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque. Preserve it, its Islamic heritage, its divine message, and prevent settler gangs from desecrating it. Thwart the fascist occupation’s plans to divide it, Judaize it, and build their alleged temple. Unite with your people in Gaza and the West Bank.


“Fourth: We call upon the masses of our Arab and Islamic nation and our Palestinian people in all places, including refugee camps and the diaspora, to march towards the borders of our beloved Palestine in massive gatherings. On this day, we declare our solidarity with Palestine, Jerusalem, and Al-Aqsa. For those geographically distant, let them gather at the nearest point leading to Jerusalem.


“Fifth: We call upon the free people of the world to mobilize in solidarity with our Palestinian people and in support of their just cause and legitimate rights to freedom, independence, return, and self-determination.


“Oh sons of our people, the masses of our Arab and Islamic nation, and all free individuals,


“Here is Palestine calling out to you, and Al-Aqsa Mosque calling out to you. It awaits your response to fulfill the duty of brotherhood and dignity, to stand with our people and their resistance, and to honorably defend the blessed land of Palestine and protect the dignity of our nation in its Jerusalem and ascension.


On the same day, Khaled Mashal, the former leader and founding member of Hamas, called for a global Muslim uprising in support of Palestine, as reported first by The Gateway Pundit.

During an address posted on YouTube which is now in private, Mashal emphasized the need for Muslims to sacrifice and carry Jihad, including the willingness to offer their blood and souls to advance the Palestinian cause.

The most harrowing part of Mashal’s speech was his direct appeal for Muslims to engage in Jihad by laying down their lives for the cause. While terrorism is nothing new, this clear and explicit call for people to become martyrs in a holy war against Israel is bone-chilling.

Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) military wing, al-Quds Brigades, also issued a warning on Thursday.

“We, at the Al-Quds Brigades and the Palestinian resistance announce, on the fifth day of the heroic Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, that the war is no longer limited to Gaza alone.”

“Oh Zionists, what you do not know is what we have prepared for you – outside of Palestine,as well as inside Palestine. What you saw in the Gaza Envelope, you will see in other places, Allah willing.”

The DJI Osmo Action 3 itself is a solid action camera that we awarded a 4-star review around this time last year. “It’s well constructed and waterproof with decent image quality and superb stabilisation, plus a fantastic mounting system,” we concluded.

Of course, it’s going up against the heavyweight of action cameras in GoPro and its Hero 11 Black, but even then we found the DJI Osmo Action 3 to have “plenty of appeal as a budget alternative to GoPro’s flagship.”

We’d double down on those comments as part of this latest Amazon deal, as the DJI Osmo Action 3 has become an even more affordable alternative pick.

Mini LED vs OLED: How do they compare?

Oliver Cragg / Android Authority

Over the years, TV technology has evolved and changed, with OLED screens growing in popularity over LCD screens. But in the last few years, another new screen technology — Mini LED — has become popularized and is now widely used by many major manufacturers. Mini LED and OLED share many similarities; however, they are different, and each has pros and cons. Read on to see which technology is best in our Mini LED vs OLED comparison.

What is Mini LED?Apple iPad Pro M2 2022 display 1

Oliver Cragg / Android Authority

Mini LED is a type of backlighting technology that has been around since 2021, but despite that, most of the bigger TV brands, such as LG, Sony, and Samsung, have just begun adopting it. With this said, not all brands refer to the technology as Mini LED — with it going by various names depending on the brand. Referred to as Neo QLED by Samsung and QNED for LG, the technology varies a bit, though the benefit of Mini LED TVs is the same across all variants.

At its core, Mini LED TVs are smaller light-emitting diodes that form the backlight for an LCD TV. As the name suggests, they use the same (but just more advanced) technology as a regular LED TV. More LEDs mean better control over a screen’s brightness and, therefore, better colors and blacks on the screen. Because of this, Mini LED televisions serve as an alternative to OLED instead of an outright improvement since OLED can technically offer more accurate lighting and contrast.

Pros

More affordable than OLEDSharper image than regular LCD TVs

Cons

More expensive than standard LCD TVs

What is OLED?lg oled plex bright

Calvin Wankhede / Android Authority

OLED televisions feature technology that is fundamentally different than that of traditional LCDs. Instead of featuring a backlight, OLED screens’ diodes are self-lighting, greatly improving image quality. This results in more purer blacks and colors, with better contrast and more control over the lighting of images. Also featuring a faster refresh rate, OLEDs are excellent screens for watching fast-paced entertainment like sports, blockbuster action movies, and playing video games.

Pros

Better Image over both LCD and Mini LED TVsMore accurate colors and blacks

Cons

More expensivePotential for screen burn-in

Mini LED vs OLED: How do they compare?Samsung Galaxy S8 screen under microscope

When comparing Mini LED and OLED technologies, several key factors include color reproduction, contrast, gaming performance, price, viewing angles, and brightness. Let’s delve into each of these aspects to help you understand the differences between Mini LED and OLED TVs:

Color reproduction and contrastMini LED: Mini LED TVs offer excellent color reproduction and contrast compared to standard LCDs. They use many smaller LEDs to precisely control brightness levels, resulting in vibrant colors and deep blacks. However, OLED screens still have an edge regarding absolute black levels and color accuracy.OLED: OLED TVs excel in color reproduction and contrast. Each pixel on an OLED screen emits its own light, allowing for true blacks, infinite contrast ratios, and highly accurate colors. This technology creates stunning visuals with unmatched richness and depth.Gaming performanceMini LED: Mini LED TVs are generally well-suited for gaming. They offer fast response times and can handle high refresh rates, making them suitable for fast-paced games. However, they may not reach the same level of performance as OLED displays in terms of pixel response times.OLED: OLED TVs are known for their exceptional gaming performance. They provide quick pixel response times, high refresh rates, and vibrant colors, making them ideal for gamers who prioritize visual quality and smooth gameplay. One caveat of this, however, is the panel’s potential for screen burn-in caused by static images on the screen. For this reason, avoid playing games with a HUD or on-screen map for a prolonged period.Viewing anglesMini LED: Mini LED TVs generally offer good viewing angles, thanks to their advanced backlighting technology. You can enjoy clear visuals even when viewing from off-center positions.OLED: OLED TVs have excellent viewing angles since each pixel emits its own light. This means that colors and details remain consistent, even when watching from extreme angles.BrightnessMini LED: Mini LED TVs can achieve high brightness levels, making them suitable for well-lit rooms and HDR content. They can compete with OLEDs in terms of brightness.OLED: OLED TVs are known for their stunning contrast and deep blacks, but they may not reach the same peak brightness levels as some Mini LED displays. However, OLED’s infinite contrast ratio often compensates for this limitation.PriceMini LED: One of the advantages of Mini LED is that it tends to be more affordable than OLED. A Mini LED TV might be more cost-effective if you’re looking for a high-quality TV with good color reproduction and contrast but have budget constraints.OLED: OLED TVs are typically more expensive than Mini LED and conventional LCD TVs due to their advanced technology and superior picture quality. While the price gap has narrowed over the years, OLEDs are still a premium choice.Mini LED vs OLED: Which is better?

The choice between Mini LED and OLED ultimately depends on your preferences and priorities. If you’re looking for a more budget-friendly option with excellent picture quality, Mini LED is a compelling choice. It provides remarkable color accuracy, contrast, and brightness, making it a strong contender in the TV market.

On the other hand, if you crave the absolute best in picture quality, OLED remains the king. Its self-emissive technology delivers unrivaled blacks, infinite contrast ratios, and breathtakingly accurate colors. While OLEDs tend to be pricier, the visual experience is worth the investment, especially for cinephiles and avid gamers.

In conclusion, both Mini LED and OLED have their merits, and the decision ultimately hinges on your budget and the level of visual quality you desire in your TV.

FAQsWhat does OLED stand for?

OLED stands for Organic Light-Emitting Diode. It’s a display technology that uses organic compounds to emit light when an electric current is applied.

What is the difference between OLED and QLED?

OLED and QLED are different display technologies. OLED screens have self-emissive pixels that individually emit light, resulting in perfect blacks and vibrant colors. QLED, on the other hand, is a marketing term used by Samsung for their quantum dot LED TVs, which use an LED backlight and quantum dot technology to enhance color and brightness.

Does Mini LED have burn-in?

Mini LED TVs are less prone to burn-in compared to OLED TVs. While it’s still possible to experience image retention or temporary image persistence on Mini LED displays, it is less common and tends to be less severe than the burn-in issues associated with OLED screens.

Are Pro Display XDR displays Mini LED?

Yes, the Pro Display XDR from Apple features a Mini LED backlighting system, which allows for high brightness, excellent contrast, and precise control over local dimming zones, making it suitable for professional users who require accurate color representation and detail.

REAL OR HOAX? Couple Riding Train Through Colorado Mountains Claim They Captured Footage of a Bigfoot (VIDEO) | The Gateway Pundit

A couple riding a train through Colorado claim that they inadvertently captured footage of a Bigfoot.

In the clip which you can watch below, a tall figure is seen walking across the landscape before sitting down on the ground.

Is this a hoax or is there a logical explanation for the figure in the video?

PJ Media reported:


Bigfoot Caught on Video in Colorado Mountains


A Colorado couple, Shannon and Stetson Parker, were taking a trip through the mountains on a narrow-gauge steam-powered train on Sunday. The train ride passes through San Juan National Forest, which is nearly 2 million acres of wild, mountainous terrain. Not only that, but the park abuts another wildlife preserve, the Rio Grande National Forest, which also encompasses close to 2 million acres. The vastness of the wild open space in this part of the country could certainly provide a haven for Bigfoot to thrive undetected — if he exists.


The Parkers were enjoying the stunning view outside the train windows and watching for wildlife, so they were perfectly positioned to spot the Sasquatch as he went about his business. They and a fellow passenger were able to capture video and still images of the elusive creature.


Here’s the clip:

It could be someone who is suited up in camo for hunting or even someone in a Bigfoot suit.

It’s certainly fun to think about and provides a little break from all the horrible news that’s happening right now.

Amazon has given Sony’s award-winning earbuds a slight discount, reducing them from the RRP of £259 to £247.

Not a massive saving but given these earbuds went on sale in August, we wouldn’t expect a massive reduction for these headphones just yet. So if you’ve been looking to grab yourself a pair since they went on sale and can hardly wait, here’s some money off the asking price.

Not part of the Prime Day promotion, but you can save yourself a little money on the award-winning Sony WF-1000XM5

The Sony WF-1000XM5 went home with our best headphones and best true wireless awards for 2023, and they’re a deserving winner. Their all-round performance is excellent, from the design, to the sound, features, and noise-cancellation, Sony is still one of the best around for premium true wireless earbuds.

The sound is much different from their predecessor. Gone is the rich, detailed performance and in its place is a more balanced, detailed and insightful sound, with even clearer mids, sharper more detailed treble and a punchy, balanced bass performance.

The noise-cancellation is excellent, ridding most noises from the vicinity so you can enjoy near total silence when you’re out and about. The noise-cancellation is helped by the smaller, lightweight design that should help these earphones fit in a wider range of ears (there’s also an extra small ear-tip to help with that).

They came stacked with features, more than we mention in this post, but suffice to say these are a smart and convenient pair of true wireless earphones that can fit into any lifestyle activity you want whether you want to have a casual conversation with someone without talking the earbuds out, using them for exercise (they have an IPX4 water rating), or making use of the adaptive ANC feature that can detect what you’re doing and where you are, optimising the noise-cancelling performance in response.

A great pair of true wireless earbuds, and if you’ve been sniffing for a deal, then head over to Amazon and take advantage of this one.
