Victor Noir's grave in Père Lachaise Cemetery by Patrick Magaud, 1984. This sculpture became a symbol of fertility: it is said that those who kiss it, leave a flower in the cap, and rub it against the genital area will have greater fertility. https://t.co/pf6xyodLES — Massimo (@Rainmaker1973) November 24, 2025   - Victor Noir, a 21-year-old journalist shot dead in 1870 amid anti-imperial tensions with Napoleon III's cousin, is immortalized in Père Lachaise Cemetery by Jules Dalou's 1891 bronze sculpture, designed to evoke his final moments with lifelike details including a deliberate genital bulge symbolizing youthful vigor. - The post's 1984 footage depicts the longstanding fertility ritual: women kissing the statue's lips, tucking flowers into its top hat, and rubbing its crotch, a superstition promising enhanced conception or romantic luck that has polished those spots to gleaming bronze over generations.  - This accidental erotic landmark, despite repeated fen...

  A lady at the grocery store shows that every single thing she picks up now says “Contains bioengineered ingredients” “I'm here at Aldi, and almost everything they have contains bioengineered food ingredients.” This is all fake food." pic.twitter.com/zNMFExNK9K — Not A Number (@myhiddenvalue) November 22, 2025 The post shares a video of a woman at Aldi supermarket revealing "Contains bioengineered food ingredients" labels on nearly every packaged item she checks, from bagel skins to protein bars, amplifying concerns about pervasive GMO use in U.S. grocery staples since the 2022 National Bioengineered Food Disclosure Standard. Bioengineered labeling applies to foods with detectable modified genetic material from lab techniques, primarily affecting corn, soy, and canola derivatives, but exempts highly refined products without traceable DNA, allowing some GMO items to evade disclosure per USDA guidelines.

  A rare glimpse into an initially deleted scene from ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’ (1961), featuring Beverly Powers as a burlesque dancer, Audrey Hepburn and George Peppard. pic.twitter.com/izOMr22c7z — Hollywood Golden Age of Cinema (@HGACinema) November 23, 2025   This clip showcases an extended version of the burlesque scene from Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961), where Holly Golightly (Audrey Hepburn) and Paul Varjak (George Peppard) watch performer Beverly Powers unzip her dress during a striptease, blending the film's whimsical tone with its edgier elements. Originally filmed as a longer sequence, portions were trimmed in the final edit to soften the sensuality amid 1960s censorship standards, though a brief version remains in the theatrical release; Powers, a genuine Las Vegas burlesque dancer known as Miss Beverly Hills, brought authentic flair to the role. Beverly Powers (born 1939) later pivoted from entertainment to ministry, authoring a memoir about her transformation, ...
