Good. Sleeping with earplugs, I cannot hear it at all. During the day, it doesn't disturb me. (I am very sensitive to noise. Xiaomi is quieter, BTW) -

UK Court told Transgender Woman Raped and Abused Young Girl
A transgender woman accused of sexually abusing children has appeared in court to face multiple charges, including the rape of a young girl. Maddison Wilson, 37, who was born male but now identifies as a woman, attended Southampton Magistrates’ Court dressed in black and wearing a pink headband. During the brief hearing, Wilson spoke only to confirm preferred pronouns as “she/her.” The allegations date back over a decade and involve multiple victims. According to court documents, Wilson is accused of raping a girl under the age of 13 in Hull, East Yorkshire, in 2011. The charge sheet specifies that the alleged abuse was carried out using “your penis.” In addition, Wilson faces charges of causing or inciting a girl under 13 to engage in sexual activity. Separate allegations relate to offences in Southampton between 2017 and 2020, in which Wilson is accused of sexually assaulting a boy under 13 and causing or inciting him to engage in sexual activity. Despite the defendant's transition, the official court charge sheet identifies Wilson as female. Wilson, who resides in Portsmouth, is set to appear at a crown court hearing later this month to enter a plea. Based on a report by Daily Telegraph 2025-02-15 -

Pete Hegseth "President Trump will not allow anyone to turn Uncle Sam into Uncle Sucker."
During a press conference at NATO headquarters in Brussels, U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth strongly pushed back against criticism of Washington’s approach to negotiations with Russia over the war in Ukraine. He cautioned European allies against placing excessive security burdens on the United States, making it clear that President Trump would not tolerate America being taken advantage of. "Make no mistake, President Trump will not allow anyone to turn Uncle Sam into 'Uncle Sucker,'" Hegseth stated. He emphasized that European nations should take primary responsibility for their own defense. Defending his stance, Hegseth described his comments as a recognition of the realities on the battlefield. He also left open the possibility of U.S. flexibility in negotiations, including reconsidering American military support to Ukraine and the presence of U.S. troops in Europe. "I think it would be fair to say that things like future funding, either less or more, could be on the table in negotiations," he said, while emphasizing that he would not speak ahead of President Trump on the matter. The situation intensified following Trump’s direct engagement with both Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy on Wednesday. Trump instructed U.S. officials to initiate discussions aimed at ending the war, now approaching its third year. His decision to approach Putin unilaterally, without consulting NATO allies, raised concerns in Kyiv and across Europe. Many fear that the U.S. might negotiate a deal that compromises Ukraine’s interests and regional security. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy made it clear that any agreement reached without Ukraine’s direct involvement would be unacceptable. "We, as a sovereign country, simply will not be able to accept any agreements without us," he stated firmly. European leaders echoed this sentiment, warning that any rushed settlement could result in an unstable and unfavorable outcome. "Any quick fix is a dirty deal," European foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas remarked at NATO headquarters, reinforcing the necessity of a collective approach. Hegseth, however, dismissed accusations that the U.S. was undermining NATO or weakening European security. Instead, he reiterated the importance of strengthening the alliance by ensuring that European nations take on more responsibility for their defense. "NATO is a great alliance, the most successful defense alliance in history, but to endure for the future our partners must do far more for Europe's defense. We must make NATO great again," he declared. His comments signal a shift in U.S. policy under the Trump administration, one that seeks to reassess long-standing defense commitments and encourage European nations to take greater ownership of their security. While the path forward remains uncertain, the tension between Washington and its NATO allies continues to build, reflecting deeper divisions over how best to approach the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
