Four 19th-century books suspected of being harmful to humans have been quarantined at France's National Library. The volumes, which include The Ballads of Ireland by Edward Hayes, an anthology of Romanian poetry by Henry Stanley, and a Royal Horticultural Society book, could contain arsenic-laced colorants, popular in the Victorian Era. According to a British scientist: "While the threat of arsenic exposure is very real, we must not neglect the harmful effects of being exposed to Irish Ballads."

According to a recent UCLA study, LGBTQ couples could face greater climate change risks. Researchers found that same-sex couples are more likely to live in urban population centers, with high levels of air pollution, also known as "cities". The study also revealed that the US county with the highest proportion of queer couples is Washington DC, which everyone in the Deep South claims to have always known.

The New York Court of Appeals overturned Harvey Weinstein's 2020 rape conviction in a 4-3 decision. The conviction was overturned because the judge who oversaw the case allowed women whose accusations were not a part of it to testify. When the accused and his lawyers were asked about how they felt about this ruling, the layers expressed satisfaction and said: "We are very happy with this decision", Harvey Weinstein said: "Me too".
