"The British East India Company, chartered by Queen Victoria, forced Indians to grow the poppies that addicted China. By 1832, the company was nominally private (rather than having House of Common’s oversight). The chief investors in the British East India Company were the royal family and ancillary aristocratic families. All those massive houses and estates were built on the back of tens of millions of ruined lives. All that pomp we watch on TV - Downton Abbey - is blood-drenched. All those paintings, collections and curios housed across that country and in its museums were bought by blood."

"We now know that well over half of the known stellar systems in our galaxy are at least binary, and the number of 85% regularly appears on the Internet, although I have not yet found a source for that number. These numbers give a completely different image to the one I was given when I was learning about science in high school. And, over time, the proportion of stellar systems that are discovered to be at least binary seems to be increasing.

"Could it be that our own stellar system is itself binary? We will consider this possibility in coming posts."

"In September 2024, ICE signed a $2 million contract with Paragon, an Israeli spyware company whose flagship product, Graphite, can allegedly remotely hack messaging apps like WhatsApp and Signal. The Biden White House quickly froze the deal under an executive order restricting spyware use, but ICE reactivated it in August 2025 under the Trump administration. Last month, 404 Media filed a freedom of information lawsuit demanding ICE release the contract and related records, citing widespread concern that the tool could be used to target immigrants, journalists, and activists."

Russia’s oil production costs are rising as reserves dwindle, The Wall Street Journal reports.

Extracting each barrel is becoming more difficult and therefore more expensive. The war has also driven up costs: Western sanctions have complicated equipment purchases, often forcing Russia to buy through third countries. Labor shortages have pushed up wages for oil workers, while the price of hard materials like sand, used in extraction, has also risen.

“Everything has become more expensive. All of this internal pressure is making it extremely difficult for Russia to increase production even in the near term,” said Matthew Sagers, a Russia expert at S&P Global Commodity Insights.

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have found that psilocybin, the active compound in psychedelic mushrooms, may extend both cellular and organismal lifespans.

The findings show that psilocybin reduced multiple hallmarks of aging in cells. There have also been a number of clinical studies that have explored the therapeutic potential of psilocybin in psychiatric conditions such as depression and anxiety.

First the ADL and now the SPLC have been relieved of all official ties with the FBI. This is good.

"In a statement to KUER, the LDS Church said:

"The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints recently cataloged, digitized, and made publicly available a private writing by President John Taylor on September 27, 1886 which has been termed a ‘revelation.’ In contrast with the 1890 Manifesto, which ended plural marriage, this private writing was never presented to the leadership or members of the church and thus has never qualified and been treated as authoritative. Its current release is part of the Church History Department’s efforts 'to more consistently release the historical records of past general authorities and officers.’”"
