If you thought the unicorn food trend had already played itself out, think again. Elote—or Mexican street corn—is the newest dish to get the rainbow food treatment, and it honestly looks pretty gross. Covering an ear of corn with sprinkles and topping it with pink, purple, and blue sauce isn't the best way to make it look appetizing. Thankfully, the sauce is just cheese—which is commonly served atop street corn. (No word on the sprinkles though.) At this point, we're kind of ready for the unicorn frenzy to be over. How many rainbow foods does this world need?

More and more men are reportedly "stealthing"—or secretly taking off their condoms during sex. Sound f*cked up? That's because it is. If you've consented to having sex with someone using a condom and your partner removes that condom without asking, they've violated your consent—and that's never OK.
If you're the kind of person who likes working out on vacation, Peloton Cycle and Westin Hotels have some excellent news for you. The brands collaborated on an effort to bring indoor cycling straight to hotel guests. Now, people who stay at Westin Hotels can find Peloton bikes in the on-site fitness studios—as well as in several of the guest rooms. Yup, you can literally cycle from the comfort of your hotel room.
A UK judge is facing backlash after suggesting that women who get drunk aren't "protecting themselves" from rape. After convicting a man of rape, Judge Lindsey Kushner told the courtroom that women are "entitled" to "drink themselves into the ground" if they want to, but this "disinhibited behavior" may put them in danger. In a recent interview with Good Morning Britain, Kushner compared rapists and sexual assault survivors who've consumed alcohol to burglars and houses with unlocked doors—saying rapists are at fault for rapes they commit, but women can also take steps to protect themselves from assailants. These victim-blaming comments (though potentially well-meaning) have once again landed her in hot water.
There's a new website making it easier for women to have abortions at home. Self-managed Abortion, Safe and Supported (SASS) just went live on abortionpillinfo.org. The site helps women who've obtained abortion pills outside a medical setting terminate their pregnancies in a safe and informed way. "Women in the US have been and are using the pills without good guidance,” Susan Yanow, spokesperson for the group behind the website, Women Help Women, told The Guardian. "If a woman is anxious and has the pills in her hand and doesn’t know what to do...we can help her understand what to do." The fact that someone felt the need to create this site in the first place is incredibly depressing. Abortion is a legal medical procedure, and people who need abortion services should be able to access them—instead of having to resort to dangerous alternatives.
One runner had a little fun at the London Marathon on Sunday. The runner (whose identity is currently unknown) squirted Prince William with water during the race. William chuckled as he got sprinkled with water, and Kate Middleton stood next to him smirking. (Oh, and in case you were wondering: The royal couple always orders pizza, Chinese, or Indian food when they get takeout.)
