Back in January, as part of our “predicting 2025” series, I wrote that 2025 would be the year of the Lab Leak reveal, and that the lab leak theory (LLT) would be “quasi-officially true” by the end of the year: Lab leak theory has already come a long way from barely even a fringe idea to […]
There’s a new Covid variant “surging through” Asia, according to this headline. It has already spread to the US and Europe as well, according to this article. I’m guessing the word “surging” was in the circulated memo, because it appears in almost every article about this. All of which makes me ask… This might seem like a […]
Last night the news broke that former President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer, which has already metastasized to his bones.

The scientists had done it. They had solved world hunger, they had ended farming as we know it and they had rid the world of animal cruelty. It wasn’t an easy path, naturally. Like so many strides in science before, its initial steps were in the other direction. The research on regeneration was originally military, […]
Last week, alternative video-sharing platform BitChute announced they would no longer allow UK-based users to view content on their site. The opening of their official statement makes the reason quite clear [you can read the whole thing here]: After careful review and ongoing evaluation of the regulatory landscape in the United Kingdom, we regret to inform […]
Is there anything Digital Identity CAN’T do? It turns out that the solution to illegal immigration is instituting a nationwide system of digital identity, issued to every baby at birth and containing all your social, education, financial, medical, and employment information. At least, according to the 40 or so Labour MPs who co-signed an open letter calling […]
The UK’s Online Safety Act officially came into force two weeks ago, and they have wasted no time using it. Alternative social media network Gab has already been threatened with a massive fine for its supposed failures to “police speech” on its platform.
