RoboCop statue finally unveiled in Detroit after nearly 15 years A 11-foot-tall bronze statue of the iconic science fiction hero RoboCop has finally been installed in Detroit, nearly 15 years after the idea first emerged. The 2.5-ton sculpture, depicting RoboCop as played by Peter Weller in the 1987 film, now stands outside the Free Age Production Studio in Detroit’s Eastern Market. Jim Toscano, the studio’s owner, expressed excitement over the installation, calling it “super impressive” and noting that it has already drawn visitors to the area. The project began in 2011 after a public exchange with then-Mayor Dave Bing sparked a fan-led campaign to bring the statue to life. Community arts advocate Brandon Walley and entrepreneur Jerry Paffendorf launched a Kickstarter that raised over $67,000 to fund the effort. Detroit sculptor Giorgio Gikas completed the statue in 2017, but legal hurdles, including obtaining rights from MGM, delayed its placement. With the statue now in place, organ...

  Diddy’s Mystery Woman “Mia” Breaks Silence in Court — What She Revealed Is Shocking In a bombshell testimony that stunned the courtroom, a woman identified only as Mia—Sean “Diddy” Combs’ former assistant of eight years—delivered harrowing accounts of alleged abuse, s**ual assault, and manipulation while working for the music mogul. Mia, who began working for Combs in 2009 at age 25 after a stint with actor Mike Myers, said she initially sought a career in entertainment. Her first meeting with Combs, she testified, was at his apartment—where he opened the door wearing nothing but his underwear. What followed, according to Mia, was an eight-year nightmare. She described the experience as a “rollercoaster,” marked by extreme sleep deprivation and an emotionally volatile work environment. “The highs were really high,” she said. “But the lows were really, really low.” Among the most disturbing claims was a violent encounter where Combs allegedly slammed her arm in a door, causing ser...

THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION HAS TERMINATED A $600 MILLION CONTRACT WITH MODERNA TO DEVELOP A BIRD FLU VACCINE, CITING SAFETY CONCERNS ABOUT MRNA TECHNOLOGY. (PHOTO).

 The Trump administration has terminated a $600 million contract with Moderna to develop a bird flu vaccine, citing safety concerns about mRNA technology.  This decision comes as H5N1 continues spreading through livestock, with over 173 million birds culled and nearly 1,000 cattle herds infected. While 70 humans have been infected with one death reported, scientists warn the virus could mutate into a more dangerous form. HHS spokesperson Andrew Nixon stated this decision reflects concerns about mRNA being "under-tested," despite the technology's successful deployment during COVID-19. Moderna defended their research, showing their bird flu vaccine produces a "rapid, potent and durable immune response." This move raises critical questions about balancing safety protocols with pandemic preparedness.
