People are coming out as ‘Berri-sexual’ – here’s what it means - by Jonh

  Here at Newsner, we’ve explained ‘graysexual‘, ‘demisexual‘ and ‘almondsexual‘ over the past year or so, bringing our readers up to speed as we find out for ourselves in real time. Call it a sign of the times, perhaps, but it seems like there are new ways, new labels for one to define their experiences of attraction being created constantly. Now, let me make it clear that I don’t have anything specifically against this. I’m not some grumpy curmudgeon resisting change and vehemently complaining because things aren’t exactly the way they used to be. That said, it can all get a bit confusing. It seems like there are so many ways for people to identify, such a large spectrum of words with which to describe one’s sexuality and preferences when it comes to attraction, that it’s impossible to keep track. Which is why we’re doing our best to keep people informed and updated. In that vein, we thought it only right to shed some light on the concept of being “berrisexual”. As per reports, p...

Queen Camilla sends clear message to Trump with ‘key’ clothing detail

 



King Charles III and Queen Camilla arrived in the United States on Monday for a four-day state visit, stepping into a moment where relations between the U.S. and the U.K. have grown noticeably strained.

In the past, Donald Trump has openly expressed admiration for the British Royal  Family. During a visit to the U.K. in September alongside Melania Trump, he spoke warmly about the long-standing alliance between the two nations.Family

“The word ‘special’ does not begin to do it justice,” Trump said at the time. “We’re like two notes in one chord, or two verses of the same poem – each beautiful on its own, but really meant to be played together.”




Since then, however, the tone has shifted. Tensions have escalated, particularly in relation to disagreements over international policy, including the conflict involving Iran. Trump has publicly criticized Keir Starmer, calling him a “loser” for refusing to support U.S. military action and remarking that he was “no Churchill.” He also drew comparisons to Neville Chamberlain, suggesting weakness in leadership.

The rhetoric extended further, with Trump claiming Britain was no longer “the Rolls-Royce of allies” and dismissing elements of its military capability. When asked more recently about the state of relations, he responded bluntly: “Not good, not good at all.”

Against that backdrop, the royal visit carries diplomatic weight. Efforts to repair and stabilize the relationship have long relied on symbolism and dialogue, and this visit appears to follow that tradition. According to reports from BBC, King Charles is expected to address Congress, emphasizing unity and shared history.

“Time and again, our two countries have always found ways to come together,” he is set to say, while calling for “reconciliation and renewal” between the United States and the United Kingdom.

While members of the Royal Family typically avoid direct political statements, Queen Camilla’s approach appeared more subtle. Observers noted a deliberate choice in her attire upon arrival—specifically, a brooch carrying symbolic meaning.

According to Grant Harrold, who served the Royal Family for several years, the brooch features both the Union Jack and the American flag intertwined. The piece was originally gifted to Queen Elizabeth II by a mayor of New York, linking it to a shared history between the two nations.

Harrold suggested that the decision to wear the brooch from the moment of arrival was intentional.

“And the decision not just to wear it on the first day of the trip, but from the moment they step on to US soil is key,” he said. “It shows from the off, they are there for diplomacy. Donald and Melania Trump will notice it, and they will appreciate it. I have no doubt it will be a discussion point at their private meeting.”

He also pointed to the historical significance behind the accessory, noting that it may serve as a quiet reminder of decades of cooperation and partnership.

“Wearing a brooch from the vaults is also a clever way to remind Trump about the past, as well as the future,” Harrold added. “It was a gift to the late Queen from a former New York mayor back in 1957, so will possibly cause the President to think back on decades of close ties between the two countries.”

The visit continues amid cautious optimism that symbolic gestures and direct engagement could help ease recent tensions, even if the broader political disagreements remain unresolved.

Common back-pain drug may be linked to higher dementia risk, large study finds

  A pain medication that millions of Americans rely on for chronic back pain may come with a hidden risk: a significantly higher chance of developing dementia or other cognitive problems, according to a major new study. Compared 26,000 adults Researchers from Case Western Reserve University and several partner institutions analyzed medical records from 68 health systems across the U.S., comparing 26,414 adults prescribed gabapentin for persistent low-back pain with a matched group who had similar pain — but didn’t take the drug. Their finding was sobering: Adults who received six or more gabapentin prescriptions were 29% more likely to be diagnosed with dementia and 85% more likely to develop mild cognitive impairment (MCI) within 10 years. The risk wasn’t limited to older adults. In fact, it was younger Americans who saw the most dramatic increases. Younger adults saw shocking risk increases For people normally considered decades away from dementia: Ages 35–49 taking gabapentin ha...

More people are coming out as Aegosexual – here’s what it means

  As discussions around sexuality become more layered, so does the vocabulary used to describe them. One term now drawing attention is aegosexual, an “identity-less” experience that’s defined by “disconnection.” With gender and sexuality now part of everyday conversation, it’s no surprise that a growing number of new labels are finding their way into the mainstream. Aegosexuality, part of the asexual spectrum, describes people who experience arousal or desire without wanting to engage in sexual activity. At its core, the identity centers on a disconnect between experiencing attraction and wanting to personally act on it. ‘Disconnection’ The concept was first introduced in 2012 by Canadian psychologist and sexologist Anthony Bogaert, who originally referred to it as “autochorissexualism.” Bogaert described the experience as an “identity-less sexuality,” that’s “characterized by a disconnection between their sense of self and a sexual object or target.” In practical terms, someone wh...
