Rapper Tyga has been asked by the U.S.-based Human Rights Foundation to cancel his Belarus concert, which is due to take place the night before the country's high-stakes presidential election

Rapper Tyga has been asked by the U.S.-based Human Rights Foundation to cancel his participation in a government-sponsored concert in Belarus.

In a letter sent to the artist, the group said that the concert was "organized and funded by the Belarusian dictatorship, led by Alexander Lukashenko," adding that, under this regime "there is no freedom of speech, no freedom of assembly, and no freedom of association." "This performance, scheduled for the day before Belarus’ elections, is no coincidence. It is an excuse to cancel the opposition's final electoral rally, and prevent ordinary Belarusians from showing their support for freedom and democracy,” said HRF president Thor Halvorssen. "It is also a deliberate attempt to turn attention away from the massive electoral fraud that is already taking place across the country.

"Protestors are grabbed off the street at random, and many are beaten bloody," the HRF wrote in its letter to Tyga. "The two most popular candidates in the upcoming presidential election, Viktor Babryka and Sergei Tikhanouvsky, were both arrested on trumped up charges. Many opposition activists have had to flee the country, along with their children, after receiving threats from the government.

An Actual Study Asked: Are Women With Endometriosis Hotter?After years of criticism from the medical community, the authors of a scientific study that aimed to measure the “attractiveness” of women with endometriosis have requested that the study’s findings be retracted I’m currently suffering in a lot of pain from endo, and without even reading the article yet, I want to smash my face into a wall, or better yet I want to start punching the misogynistic scientific/medical community in their collective throats. 🤬 Maybe they were trying to link it to higher estrogen. My pharmacists told me that painful PMS cramps can be due to higher estrogen levels. Not defending, just trying to reason why the attempt to make that link. NYMag Dumb bunny study!
