Neil Gaiman Faces Multiple Allegations of Sexual Misconduct

USUnited States|

Acclaimed British author Neil Gaiman has been accused of sexual misconduct by eight women in a recent article published by New York Magazine. The allegations include assault, coercion, and abuse, with a prominent account from Scarlett Pavlovich, who stated that a non-consensual sexual encounter took place during her time babysitting Gaiman's child.

Pavlovich described meeting Gaiman and being invited to take a bath in their garden bathtub, where the encounter escalated without her consent. She reported that Gaiman attempted to forcefully penetrate her and later paid her $9,200 over nine months, during which she signed a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) concerning the incident.

The article states that the women involved were predominantly in their twenties, with the youngest being 18 years old. Another accuser, Kendra Stout, noted Gaiman’s disregard for safe practices in BDSM and noted that discussions of consent were absent.

Gaiman has previously denied all allegations made against him, asserting that relationships were consensual and claiming that Pavlovich had a condition leading her to develop false memories regarding the incident.

Mysterious Shark Deaths Raise Alarm Along North America's Coasts

An unusual trend of dead Great White Sharks washing ashore along North America's coastlines has left scientists puzzled. According to a report from the New York Times, five of these sharks have been discovered on the eastern coast of Canada since 2023, with an additional four found on U.S. beaches, totaling nine confirmed cases. Historically, the Canadian Wildlife Health Cooperator had not recorded a single Great White corpse along its shores in over three decades. Experts are investigating the cause of these fatalities, noting that the sharks exhibit no signs of injury or trauma, ruling out attacks by orcas or boats. Most sharks were found with full stomachs, dismissing the theory of starvation as a factor. Megan Jones, a veterinary pathologist, indicated that three of the affected sharks may share a common infectious brain disease, potentially meningoencephalitis, which inflates brain tissues and could explain their deaths. Alisa Newton, chief veterinarian for OCEARCH, expressed concern over the significant implications this trend may have on marine ecosystems, particularly as ocean conditions continue to change.

Surge in HIV Cases Predicted Without U.S. Support, Warns UNAIDS

The number of new HIV infections could spike more than sixfold by 2029 if U.S. funding for AIDS programs is significantly reduced, according to UNAIDS Executive Director Winnie Byanyima. In an interview with The Associated Press, Byanyima warned that this reduction in aid could result in 8.7 million new HIV cases and an additional 6.3 million AIDS-related deaths. The comments follow U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent announcement of a freeze on foreign assistance. Byanyima highlighted that HIV infections have declined in recent years, with 1.3 million new cases reported in 2023—a 60% drop since the virus peaked in 1995. However, she expressed concern that the halt in U.S. support, which constitutes approximately 90% of some countries’ HIV programs, is causing “panic” among nations hardest hit by the epidemic. She emphasized the critical nature of ongoing funding as new preventive tools, such as the long-acting HIV injection lenacapavir, are becoming available. Without additional support from other countries, Byanyima cautioned that lives are at stake, urging the U.S. to reconsider its cuts to funding for global health initiatives.

New Study Unveils Health Risks from Cigarette Butts' Microplastics

A recent study has revealed alarming health risks associated with microplastics found in cigarette butts, suggesting they trigger inflammatory responses in human immune cells. Conducted by a team of scientists, the research exposed immune cells from human blood to fibers extracted from cigarette filters made of plastic cellulose acetate. The findings, published on February 11, 2025, indicated that these fibers prompted a significant release of inflammatory proteins, including tumor necrosis factor-alpha and interleukin-6. At high concentrations, the cells exhibited severe stress, leading to cell death. Researchers pointed out that although cigarette butts are commonly perceived as biodegradable, they can take over a decade to break down, during which they release toxic substances into the environment. Approximately 4.5 trillion butts are discarded globally each year, and their environmental impact has long been a concern for wildlife. However, this study suggests they may also pose direct health risks to humans, potentially linking to serious conditions like heart disease and cancer. In response, environmental groups and lawmakers are advocating for stringent regulations on plastic cigarette filters and exploring biodegradable alternatives.
