Investigators said they haven’t yet figured out what caused the apparent leak of carbon monoxide from the propane gas heating system. New Hampshire Fire Marshal Sean Toomey said there were no carbon monoxide alarms found in the home, and he urged people to install and maintain such alarms. “This has been a terribly tragic year for both fire deaths and carbon monoxide deaths,” Toomey said. The CDC said more than 400 Americans die each year from unintentional carbon monoxide poisoning not linked to fires, while another 14,000 are hospitalized. When fire crews arrived, they found the home had elevated levels of carbon monoxide, Toomey said, adding that the deaths were believed to be accidental.

☆ 2024 was the year female desire went mainstream

CNN —While women’s desire is nothing new and certainly not a trend, 2024 has seen the female sex drive take the wheel in popular culture. But the past 12 months have seen explicit examples of female desire rush in simultaneously from the margins to the mainstream. Female desire has existed in little pockets throughout history but now it’s everywhere and not hidden anymore. On Disney+ an adaptation of British romance novelist Jilly Cooper’s book “Rivals” — set in 1980s England — gave female pleasure top billing. Today, psychology and sex therapy are now fields predominantly occupied by women which has dramatically changed how female pleasure is perceived, he said.

Dr. Hussam Abu Safia, the hospital's head, said in an Instagram story that the Israeli army was “burning all the operating departments in the hospital” while medical staff was still present inside. “It is another dark day in the ongoing series of crimes against Kamal Adwan Hospital and its staff,” he added. Israeli attacks on the hospital over the past few weeks have killed several medics and patients at Kamal Adwan, including the hospital’s ICU director, Dr. Ahmed al-Kahlout.

Around 10 million people are under winter weather alerts Monday in the Great Lakes and Northeast regions, where some residents may be waking up to a White Christmas. Sunday was "the coldest morning of the season thus far" for many Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern states, according to the weather service. One thing Northeast and Midwest residents can expect for certain, though, is a cold Christmas indeed. Out in the West, "heavy rain and mountain snow" will return to the region Monday night, the weather service said. Snow from this same storm system is expected to impact the most elevated areas in the central and northern Sierra Nevada, with up to a foot of snow possible.

Luigi Mangione pleaded not guilty Monday to New York state charges in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, as his defense complained about police parading him in “perp walks” that are “perfectly choreographed, utterly political.”Mangione wore a white shirt under a maroon sweater and light colored pants in his arraignment before Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Gregory Carro. Manhattan prosecutors last week unsealed an 11-count indictment against Mangione, charging him with a host of crimes connected to the Dec. 4 slaying. Mangione pleaded not guilty to all charges. Luigi Mangione appears in Manhattan Supreme Court in New York on Dec. 23, 2024. Agnifilo places the blame for these "perp walks" on Mayor Eric Adams, calling these public parades of Mangione "absolutely unnecessary" and "perfectly choreographed, utterly political."
