Rick probably grabbed that off the IFLS facebook feed. Their website stays fairly current, but their FB presence recycles old stories (on top last I looked: [man takes sprit level on plane to prove earth is flat](https://www.iflscience.com/man-brings-a-spirit-level-onto-plane-41739?), from 2017) presumably to maintain visibility. ---

Belgian police have arrested a Vice President of the European Parliament, her partner (an adviser on the Middle East and North Africa region in the European Parliament — and a founder of an NGO called Fight Impunity, which aims to promote “accountability as a central pillar of the architecture of international justice.) Also arrested was the head of Fight Impunity, who is a former Italian Member of the European Parliament, and his wife and daughter. Police also sealed the office of another parliamentary assistant who used to work for Fight Impunity, currently serving as an aide to a Belgian MEP. Also detained was the secretary general of the International Trade Union Confederation. The arrests involve Qatari corruption and bribery. > **[Qatar scandal: What just happened at the European Parliament?](https://www.politico.eu/article/eva-kaili-doha-panzeri-qatargate-what-just-happened-at-the-european-parliament/)** > > POLITICO answers all your questions about the influence scandal rocking Brussels. ---

Before clicking on the above link I was hoping that thumbnail was showing Gweneth Paltrow, on the left, hawking the Qatari leader a vaginal steamer, but disapppointed after clicking that not only that it wasn’t, but there was also a cookies pop-up thing. ---

A new spa opened up near my home that offers “vagacials”. My wife googled the term, and discovered that it’s pretty much what it sounds like; a skin treatment, depilation, and gentle massage of the pubis and labia.
