Eight of Iran's women's football team are men who are awaiting sex swap operations. - Taiwanese TV
TEHRAN / IRAN — Iran's national female soccer team has been accused of using players who are not "fully" women. According to Saudi-owned news outlet Al Arabiya, as many as eight of their players have yet to undergo a sex change operation, yet they are playing as females.
The allegations stem from Mojtabi Sharifi, who told the Iranian-based Young Journalists Club, "Players have been playing with Iran's female team without completing sex change operations." Sharifi was described as "an official close to the Iranian league."
The International Olympic Committee allows transsexual athletes to compete in their respective categories as long as they've completed sexual reassignment surgery, undergone two years of hormonal therapy, and are legally recognized as said gender.
Believe it or not, sex change operations are legal in Iran. Pretty surprising for a culture which values segregation of sexes and punishes homosexuality with death.
By the way, this wouldn't the first time Iran's been busted for tucking-back an eggplant or two on the soccer field. The Telegraph reported this same problem in 2014 when four men were found to be playing on Iran's female soccer team.
So if Iran can't play by the international rules and regulations on the soccer field, can we trust them to uphold other international standards and agreements? Where not calling their bluff could lead to apocalyptic consequences.

The "beta uprising" according to Taiwanese TV.
ROSEBURG, OREGON — The night before the Umpqua Community College shooting near Rosenburg, Oregon, a post was made on 4chan warning others of malicious intent. Other anonymous users called his bluff, and a few told him to not to do it, but some jokingly posted, "beta uprising."
The term "beta uprising" is a joke referring to "beta males" who may feel jaded by society and unwanted by the opposite sex. The jokesters purport that beta males may resort to violent actions in their futile search for significance. Therefore, the term is often associated with mass murderers.
The random 4chan boards "/r9k/" and "/b/" have a reputation for hating women and "normies," defined by the the Urban Dictionary as the 97 percent of people without a mental illness.
However, 4chan remains a rather safe place for the First Amendment to be exercised, and if a board gets banned there, there are other places anonymous posters can go. But let's be real, after Thursday's tragedy, the beta uprising joke has lost its charm.

Man in Russia Saves Dog That Was Buried Alive Under Sidewalk
Having to rely on google translate.
The title of the video translates from
"Спасение собаки замурованной по имени Белка"
to
"Rescue dog named Belka buried"
And the description, again translated, so not the best, but you can get the jist.
"По улице Ростовская 58/10 у подъезда №4 подмыло песок и обвалилась брусчатка ну и так получилась яма. Яма была примерно недели 3 без ремонта. В эту яму залазили дети по 4 человека так она шла именно под ступеньки. 21 сентября примерное время было 17.15 мы приехали с Нововоронежа с моим мужем Рустам Вадимом, Сотниковым Александром ( муж моей сестры) и моя сестра Сотникова Алена. Мы с сестрой не обратили внимания что заделали яму и поднялись домой. Затем за нами последовали наши мужья и дома нам сказали что яма заделана и слышан был лай. Ну они и сказали что наверное замуровали собаку. Тут мы собрались и пошли в ЖКХ нашего района. Мы обратились в ЖКХ но нам сказали что работу проводили не ЖКХ, а ДСК и поэтому они ничего делать не будут и мы решили что сами в этом разберемся. Мы пришли к подъезду и мой муж Вадим Рустам начал молотком вытаскивать брусчатку и в ручную раскапывать песок так как лопаты не было(((( Появилась щель которую заложили большим булыжником. Муж мой камень убрал и увидел морду собаки. Начал медленно ее вытаскивать так как она беременная. После спасения собаки яму мы восстановили и угрозы для людей нет."

"On the streets of Rostov 58/10 at the entrance №4 substitution of sand and stone blocks collapsed and so turned the pit. The hole was about 3 weeks without repair. In the pit to climb children of 4 people so it was just a step. On September 21, the approximate time it was 17.15 we arrived with Novovoronezh my husband Rustam Vadim, Alexander Sotnikov (my sister's husband) and my sister Alyona Sotnikova. My sister and I did not pay attention to that patched a hole and went home. Then we followed us our husbands at home and we were told that the pit is embedded and heard was barking. Well, they said that probably buried dog. Then we packed up and went to the utilities in our area. We have asked the utilities but we were told that the work carried out are not public utilities, and therefore they will not do anything and we decided to do it ourselves. We came to the door and my husband Vadim Rustam used a hammer to pull out cobblestones and by hand to dig out the sand. My husband is the stone remover in the video and saw the face of a dog. He started to slowly pull as the dog is pregnant. After rescuing the dog from hole we covered it and there is no threat to humans."
