Aussie “Ex-Porn Baron” Can’t Gin Up Booze Business.

Jon Atherton had a dream. After leaving his adult industry company Spotwire and his iPhone app “Wobble” behind, he established the Brisbane Distillery Company in the West End of the Australian city. The idea was to craft high-quality spirits infused with local botanicals. Specializing in gin, the beverage company was quite popular. Then COVID and a flood that damaged both stock and equipment hit. Now the company is more than $1.3 million in debt and has been evicted from its premises. Click here.

The 45 participants in the study were male university students of average weight, mentally and physically healthy, and not drug or cigarette addicts. They were divided into two groups, with one participating in three minutes of exercise. Then each group’s responses to various sexual, violent, landscape, sport, and other imagery were measured.

Women Aren’t the Ethical Angels They Pretend to Be.

Everybody cheats sometimes, whether it’s passing gas and blaming it on the dog, pretending to be busy to get out of work, hiding in the bathroom for some quiet time, flirting to get free stuff, smuggling food into a theater, or stealing their own kid’s Halloween candy. The thing is that women are more likely to do these bad, bad things than men. At least that’s what a study of 2,000 adults claims. On the plus side, women feel guilt and apologize more easily than men. Click here.
