Motorcyclists face the highest risk of fatal crashes in Florida, Texas, and Colorado, respectively.
Motorcycle fatalities are up 11% in the last 3 years.
In 2022, there were 6,219 motorcycle fatalities in the U.S. due to crashes.
Texas had the highest average annual motorcycle fatality rate at 13.69 deaths per 10,000 registered motorcycles. This is followed by Arkansas (12.79) and Missouri (11.51).
South Dakota experienced a 45% reduction in motorcycle crash fatalities between 2020-2022, the largest decrease of all U.S. states.
Harley-Davidson riders were the least likely to wear a helmet across different motorcycle makes, with 48% of those in fatal crashes not wearing one. But, their drivers were least likely to be speeding or racing, with only 9% doing so.
Reasonable and informative overview, unfortunately lacking per capita breakdown. Harley riders are least likely to wear a helmet due to the dumbass culture surrounding Harley. They are also the least likely to die while speeding or racing, due to the slowness of the bikes. I actually own a Harley Pan America (which is not slow) and enjoy it very much. Motorcycles in general define a subculture, and within that subculture there are many sub-subcultures. The Harley subculture is an example of how intransigent cultures can be. It has remained largely the same for many decades. The weird part of that is the Harley brand is the hardass maverick rider who does his own thing, while in reality it’s nothing more than a highly conformist style, which includes not wearing helmets. Still, I like Harley guys and all motorcycles. Besides helmets, very good body armor and airbag vests are available for all riders. ABN
A mysterious detail hidden inside one of the world’s most famous religious images may defy conventional explanation, proving it might just be a miracle.
Scientists analyzing the Tilma of Guadalupe, a cactus-fiber cloak that Christians believe bears a miraculous image of the Virgin Mary, claimed they discovered at least 13 tiny human figures embedded within the eye.
The reflections are so small they can only be seen through digital enlargement, yet researchers said they resemble witnesses present when the artifact was first revealed in the 16th century.
After digitally processing high-resolution images, investigators also reported that sections of the face, hands, robe and mantle appear to have been applied in a single step, with no sketches, corrections or visible brush strokes.
‘The image of Our Lady of Guadalupe has been the subject of numerous technical studies since 1751,’ researchers wrote, adding that despite extensive investigation, ‘none of the results offered any sound scientific explanation, which up to this very day defies science and all human reasoning.’

The reflections are so small they can only be seen through digital enlargement, yet researchers said they resemble witnesses present when the artifact was first revealed in the 16th century. Further analysis suggested the reflections contain multiple figures, including witnesses who were allegedly present when the tilma was first displayed in 1531
In this post I am going to argue that strong metacognitive awareness of one’s own intentionality in real-time translates into better and more accurate memory retrieval.
More specifically, I mean that the strong metacognitive awareness of one’s own intentionality that results from FIML practice is a skill that transfers to memory retrieval.
FIML partners spend a good deal of time asking and answering questions about each others’ intentionality in real-time.
The metacognitive skills that develop out of that practice streamline communication between partners, while also streamlining communication within the brains of each partner.
Each partner benefits psychologically as a standalone individual from the practice of FIML because FIML skills can also be applied to individual, subjective brain functions.
One of the psychological benefits of FIML practice is greatly enhanced awareness of the difference between truth and lies during interpersonal communication with the FIML partner.
This awareness beneficially affects memory retrieval.
It does so by increasing the individual’s capacity to better know when memories are reliable and when they are dubious if not outright false.
Advanced FIML practitioners will have less need for egotistical interpretations of their pasts (or anything else), and thus have minds and memories that are more streamlined and efficient.
This happens because FIML practice gradually shifts brain organization away from the heuristics of a static ego to operations that can be described as “metacognitive.”
Metacognitive operations of this caliber are a great improvement on static beliefs in a self or an egocentric narrative.
Additionally, since psychology is based on memory, fine metacognitive awareness of memory retrieval will also improve psychological functioning in other areas.
For example, emotions based on memory (all of them really) will be less likely to negatively influence intentionality if fine metacognitive awareness of memory retrieval is functioning in the individual.
The same can be said of psychological schemas, framing, values, beliefs, instinct and its interpretations, and so on. All aspects of human psychology can enjoy improvements (more truthful, less stupid) through the metacognitive skills that result from FIML practice.
A preliminary military investigation has determined that the United States was responsible for a missile strike on an Iranian elementary school that killed 175 people, most of them children.
Donald Trump had previously blamed the Iranian regime for bombing a school filled with young girls with an American Tomahawk missile on February 28 during the first day of Operation Epic Fury.
The ongoing investigation determined that US forces made the mistake while launching strikes on a nearby Iranian military base, which the school building was once part of.
Officers at US Central Command decided to strike the school using outdated data provided by the Defense Intelligence Agency, one of the premier US intelligence agencies.
The deadly operation on Shajarah Tayyebeh elementary school, which was full of children, is considered one of the most devastating US military errors in decades.
The FBI alerted California law enforcement to potential Iranian drone strikes on the West Coast in retaliation for the US war against the Islamic Republic.
‘Iran allegedly aspired to conduct a surprise attack using unmanned aerial vehicles from an unidentified vessel off the coast of the United State Homeland, specifically against unspecified targets in California, in the event that the US conducted strikes against Iran,’ the alert obtained by ABC News said.
‘We have no additional information on the timing, method, target, or perpetrators of this alleged attack,’ the FBI update continued.
Public opinion matters. Public opinion stopped the monkeypox bs. The more the public knows, the more reliable its opinions are. Elections matter, but it is public opinion which fuels them. Public opinion strongly favors IDs for voters. Pragmatism enjoins us to support and encourage valid public opinions. The recent ‘rise in antisemitism’ is nothing more than rising public awareness of how crazy and violent Jewish Supremists are. It is because of them and them only that we are on the verge of WW3 and the use of nuclear weapons. ABN
Late night March 10th into the early morning today — Wave 37. Was one of the heaviest waves yet for ballistic missiles into Israel.
IRGC called it their “most intense and heaviest operation” of the entire war — three hours of continuous, multi-layered strikes using the Kheibar Shekan, Qadr, and Khorramshahr ballistic missiles. One-tonne warheads.
Erbil. The US Fifth Fleet in Bahrain. Military centres in Be’er Ya’akov and Tel Aviv. Nearly half of the 300 ballistic missiles fired at Israel carried cluster bomb warheads — each one scattering dozens of submunitions across a ten-kilometre radius. They’re hitting both harder and smarter.
Eleven days in. Thirty-seven waves and counting fast. Iran is still escalating not degrading, escalating with its heaviest systems, its largest warheads, its longest-range missiles. Channel 12 News in Israel reported on March 2nd that Iran was virtually out of both launchers and AD batteries which was echoed by Western client media.
The IDF told you the interceptions were holding and yet we saw the 4th night in a row of iron Sieve (dome), Arrow 3 and what remains of 2 working THAAD systems looking like they were in a deep coma.
Meanwhile the Bahrain fuel terminal for the US 5th Fleet is likely still fire, the Israeli Defence Ministry complex has been struck, and Dubai is a ghost town. You were lied to AGAIN.
Iran’s 37th wave of ballistic missile strikes on Israel, launched late March 10 into early 11, 2026, marked the IRGC’s heaviest operation yet, involving three hours of Kheibar Shekan, Qadr, and Khorramshahr missiles with 1-tonne warheads—nearly half carrying cluster munitions scattering submunitions over 10-km radii.
The attack targeted Israeli military sites in Be’er Ya’akov and Tel Aviv, US assets in Erbil and Bahrain’s Fifth Fleet fuel terminal, and caused fires and evacuations in Dubai, contradicting Channel 12’s March 2 report of Iran’s depleted launchers and defenses, as evidenced by video footage of un-intercepted impacts.
In the 11-day Iran-Israel war, interception rates faltered for the fourth night, with Iron Dome, Arrow 3, and THAAD appearing overwhelmed per Reuters imagery of strikes in Yehud; ISW confirms multi-layered barrages, underscoring Iran’s escalation despite US-Israeli counterstrikes.
UPDATE: At some point in this video, all of which is worth watching, Max says both Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump are members of the Chabad Messianic cult which believes Rabbi Schneerson will be reborn as the Jewish Messiah once the Third Temple is built in Israel. Max also says some believe Jared Kushner is actually running Trump’s presidency. As we teeter on the precipice of WW3, it must be obvious to all thinking people how powerful, controlling and maniacal Jewish Supremacism is. It is no one other than them who are forcing these events on USA and the world. After destroying Gaza, do they rest and recoup? No, they press on for more death and destruction. None of this helps anyone anywhere, except for some tiny little group of devils living inside their twisted imaginations. ABN
Chabad, a major Hasidic Jewish movement. Chabad, also known as Lubavitch, is a prominent branch of Haredi (ultra-Orthodox) Judaism that emphasizes intellectual study, outreach, and global engagement.
Origin: Founded in 1775 by Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi in Liozno (modern-day Belarus), Chabad takes its name from the Hebrew acronym Chokmah (Wisdom), Binah (Understanding), and Da’at (Knowledge)—reflecting its focus on rational mysticism and Torah scholarship.
Global Presence: Under the leadership of Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson (the “Rebbe”), who led from 1951 to 1994, Chabad expanded rapidly, establishing over 3,500 institutions in more than 100 countries, including Chabad Houses on college campuses and in remote cities.
Outreach Focus: Unlike many insular Hasidic groups, Chabad is known for its active outreach to unaffiliated and non-observant Jews, offering free services, holiday celebrations, educational programs, and support.
Controversial Beliefs: After Schneerson’s death in 1994, a significant minority of followers believe he was the Messiah—a belief known as Chabad messianism, which remains a point of internal and external debate.
Notable Figures: The movement has been shaped by influential leaders like the “Old Rebbe” (Shneur Zalman) and the “Rebbe” (Schneerson), whose legacy continues to influence global Jewish life.
The Third Temple refers to a hypothetical future temple in Jerusalem that would replace the First and Second Temples, both of which were destroyed—first by the Babylonians in 587 BCE and then by the Romans in 70 CE. It is a central aspiration in Judaism, particularly among Orthodox and some Messianic Jewish communities, who view its construction as a key sign of the coming Messianic Age.
According to Jewish tradition, the Third Temple will be built on the Temple Mount, a site sacred to both Jews and Muslims. This location is currently home to the Dome of the Rock and Al-Aqsa Mosque, making it one of the most contested religious and political sites in the world.
