Police allegedly found the images on the iCloud account of the 21-year-old singer, whose legal name is David Anthony Burke.

A mother who lost her baby a week after an “unsafe” home birth that went against medical advice was failed by the NHS, an inquest has found.
Poppy Hope Lomas was seven days old when she died at University College hospital in London on 26 October 2022 after complications during a home birth that, according to her mother, was encouraged by midwives at Barnet hospital.

Donald Trump’s decision to extend the naval blockade of Iran indefinitely may do nothing to reduce world oil prices – but it could amount to a recognition that further US military escalation in breach of the nominal ceasefire comes with greater risk against a regime disinclined to surrender.
In theory, Trump’s military options are increasing. A third US carrier strike group, the George HW Bush, is due to arrive in the Middle East within days after rounding South Africa. A second taskforce of 2,500 US marines is sailing from the Pacific and is due to arrive by the end of April.

I’ve never seen anything like these photos before. In October 2024, Rachel Moore had a close encounter with a humpback whale in French Polynesia and took these photos of the whale’s eye. Moore wrote of the experience:
This moment of eye contact was beyond my wildest dreams. I’ve never encountered a whale like this one, and it was the most profoundly beautiful experience of my life.
Tragically, just a few days later, the whale was dead; she drowned after being struck by a boat. Moore’s photos and experience galvanized an effort to regulate a slow zone for large boats in French Polynesia during whale migration season, which became law late last year:
French Polynesia has just passed new speed regulations to better protect humpbacks during their migration. Vessels over 12 meters must now travel at 10 knots (12 knots max) within 1 nautical mile of the islands, helping prevent the kind of tragedy we never want to see again.

He ja Kempi, die bedreigde zijn ex omdat ze van hem abortus moest plegen, deed ze niet, ging hij door met dreigen, werd hij veroordeeld tot zeven maanden celstraf + een regulier en onlinecontatverbod, ging-ie in hoger beroep en begon dat contactverbod: meteen te schenden. Zo deelde hij beelden van hun kind, heimelijk opgenomen audiofragmenten uit de rechtszaak, doxte haar nog door haar jeugdzorgdossier (dat hij nooit had mogen hebben) deels online te plempen en bleef maar door zwatelen over een DNA-test, die er volgens hem niet gekomen was omdat zijn slachtoffer dat niet wilde. Het probleem met die lezing is alleen: het is geen correcte lezing, want Jerreley Slijger (echte naam) is veel te dom om iets te lezen (knap dat hij wel in staat is om teksten te schrijven eigenlijk). Slachtoffer wilde die DNA-test wel degelijk, alleen graag via haar huisarts en Kempi moest de 169 pietermannen die zoiets kost zelf voldoen. Afijn, nu moet Kempi na spoedkortgeding dus binnen 48 uur overal rectificeren, want die niet bijster slimme maar wel ontiegelijk kwaadaardige vent heeft zijn honderdduizenden fans geruime tijd zonder aanleiding en met lasterlijke onzin opgehitst tegen de moeder van zijn kind. "In eerdere berichten heb ik gesteld dat de moeder van mijn kind een DNA-test weigert. Die bewering is onjuist. De voorzieningenrechter heeft op [datum vonnis] geoordeeld dat deze uitingen onrechtmatig zijn en ik ben veroordeeld deze te verwijderen en deze rectificatie te plaatsen." Laat hij dit na, dan gaat het hem 5K per dag kosten.
Is allemaal achteraf gelul natuurlijk, maar was het niet beter geweest als Kempi Kempi had bedreigd om Kempi er toe te dwingen een vasectomie te nemen? Is hartstikke goedkoop, ouwe dibbes.
