Microplastics! They’re in everything, from our bodies to the ocean.
And apparently they’re even found in sediment layers that date back as early as the first half of the 1700s, showing microplastics’ pernicious ability to infiltrate even environments untouched by modern humans.
The scientists were studying lake sediment to test if the presence of microplastics in geological layers would be a reliable indicator for the beginning of the Anthropocene Epoch, defined in the study as starting in 1950 and meant to delineate when humans started having a large impact on our environment.
Clearly not, according to this new research, which found microplastics in every layer of sediment they dredged up, including one from 1733.
“We conclude that interpretation of microplastics distribution in the studied sediment profiles is ambiguous and does not strictly indicate the beginning of the Anthropocene Epoch,” the scientists wrote.
Jews are coming out in full force against Tucker Carlson. But we’ve been here before. In the 1990s, America First patriot Patrick Buchanan declared Congress to be “Israeli occupied territory” and then he ran for president to confront it head-on.
Instead of respecting his right to free speech, hateful Israel First jews who posed as “conservatives” did what they still do today: they tried to censor and defame him. They ended up rushing the stage at one of Buchanan’s speaking engagements in an attempt to disrupt him. They held signs calling him a “racist,” which was a career-ending allegation at the time. Their goal was to get conservative voters to disavow Buchanan, much like jews today are trying to turn conservatives against Nick and Tucker.
Unmoved and undaunted, Buchanan defended himself by hurling the jew off the stage. The force behind Buchanan’s push was enough to send the jew’s body flying in mid-air.
As the jew crashed down to the ground, the audience erupted in applause. The jew likely curled up on the floor pretending to be a victim at that point, but it didn’t work. Buchanan calmly regained control of the mic and proclaimed, “Nothing is going to stop us from moving forward to a new era of American Greatness!” The audience went wild.
This was at a time, however, when Americans didn’t have social media. Fearing that the footage of Buchanan’s bravery would inspire millions of other patriots, the jewish-controlled media suppressed it.
Today, if a political candidate were to remove toxic Israel First jews from a stage in self-defense, the footage would go viral. The candidate would gain the support of the entire nation.
Whether the specific premise of this video is right or not, the weaponry discussed is real and probably decades behind what is available to state-level militaries today. I expressed speculation along the lines of this video soon after Kirk’s assassination. All of this is speculative. I found this video interesting because the weaponry is very effective and part of our world today. Lack of a visible entry wound on Kirk makes it unlikely the fatal projectile came from Kirk’s right. So far, every hypothesis has holes in it, including the official story. Is there a projectile that is very small and can enter like a needle and then expand and explode on exit in a way that would fit what we have seen on videos of the assassination? ABN
“The fundamental laws of physics cannot be contained within space and time, because they generate them. It has long been hoped, however, that a truly fundamental theory of everything could eventually describe all physical phenomena through computations grounded in these laws. Yet we have demonstrated that this is not possible. A complete and consistent description of reality requires something deeper—a form of understanding known as non-algorithmic understanding.”
Consequences of Undecidability in Physics on the Theory of Everything
General relativity treats spacetime as dynamical and exhibits its breakdown at singularities. This failure is interpreted as evidence that quantum gravity is not a theory formulated within spacetime; instead, it must explain the very emergence of spacetime from deeper quantum degrees of freedom, thereby resolving singularities. Quantum gravity is therefore envisaged as an axiomatic structure, and algorithmic calculations acting on these axioms are expected to generate spacetime. However, Gödel’s incompleteness theorems, Tarski’s undefinability theorem, and Chaitin’s information-theoretic incompleteness establish intrinsic limits on any such algorithmic programme. Together, these results imply that a wholly algorithmic “Theory of Everything” is impossible: certain facets of reality will remain computationally undecidable and can be accessed only through non-algorithmic understanding. We formalize this by constructing a “Meta-Theory of Everything” grounded in non-algorithmic understanding, showing how it can account for undecidable phenomena and demonstrating that the breakdown of computational descriptions of nature does not entail a breakdown of science. Because any putative simulation of the universe would itself be algorithmic, this framework also implies that the universe cannot be a simulation.
If conscious thought underlies everything, our ‘individual’ conscious minds should be able to experience it. In Buddhism, this would occur in samadhi states to some extent and in nirvana entirely.
This study is being trashed by some but it tends toward an interesting way of thinking or imagining. ABN
CHARLIE KIRK UPDATE: The 2 mysterious Egyptian planes shadowing Charlie Kirk & TPUSA events over the last 2 years, including the day of the assassination—as reported by @RealCandaceO yesterday—consistently fly in & out of Cairo, Egypt. Here’s why that might be more interesting than you realize:
Just 37 miles away from Cairo is Inshas Airbase, the home & primary training center for the El Sa’ka Forces, or “Thunderbolts”—Egypt’s elite special operations unit patterned after the US Army Rangers, and trained by the US Delta Force, US Navy SEALS & British SAS.
The unit, established in 1953, focuses on airborne insertions, raids & unconventional warfare. Is this some of that foreign involvement Kash Patel doesn’t want being investigated?
If you have any information on these flights, from anywhere in the world, please send your tips to Candace Owens (or me). Thank you. Everyone else, please comment & retweet this for maximum reach.
This experiment employed an individual differences approach to test the hypothesis that learning modern programming languages resembles second “natural” language learning in adulthood. Behavioral and neural (resting-state EEG) indices of language aptitude were used along with numeracy and fluid cognitive measures (e.g., fluid reasoning, working memory, inhibitory control) as predictors. Rate of learning, programming accuracy, and post-test declarative knowledge were used as outcome measures in 36 individuals who participated in ten 45-minute Python training sessions. The resulting models explained 50–72% of the variance in learning outcomes, with language aptitude measures explaining significant variance in each outcome even when the other factors competed for variance. Across outcome variables, fluid reasoning and working-memory capacity explained 34% of the variance, followed by language aptitude (17%), resting-state EEG power in beta and low-gamma bands (10%), and numeracy (2%). These results provide a novel framework for understanding programming aptitude, suggesting that the importance of numeracy may be overestimated in modern programming education environments.
A young man in China who teamed up with his friends to kill his mother in a fake road accident to pocket her insurance has shocked the nation.
The 23-year-old son, surnamed Lu, and his friend, identified as Yang, were sentenced to death for intentional killing.
Another man, Cheng, was sentenced to seven years in jail for assisting in the crime.
The verdict was handed down by Taizhou Intermediate People’s Court in eastern Zhejiang province in April but was only made public recently, the news outlet The Paper reported.

Musk’s core safety value—truth-seeking—agrees exactly with the core values of Buddhist practice, which must be truth-seeking.
Musk continues: ‘You don’t force the AI to believe things that are false’.
His references to the ‘woke mind-virus’, which is false, and the extreme danger it poses if it is programmed into AI, is in perfect accord with the Buddhist concept of delusion.
In Buddhism, holding core wrong views (delusive views) is dangerous and will not lead to conscious fulfillment but only suffering.
Musk’s warning can be seen optimistically because it is easy to understand. It is the very basis of morality.
Bad actors should be able to comprehend that they will destroy themselves along with everyone else if they program AI with false core values.
I hope there will be some way to prevent an evil group of humans from dominating AI and programming their bad values above all others, leading their AI to want to kill all other humans.
The pessimistic view is there is a strong chance versions of AI will battle each other and the most ruthless will win.
Truth-seeking on social media has never mattered more than it does today. ABN
Based on our initial set of audits, more than $1B of federal taxpayer dollars were being spent on funding Medicaid for illegal immigrants. And my team is getting it back.
Some want to deny that illegal immigrants are receiving Medicaid. Others insist it’s illegal for Medicaid to cover illegal immigrants. And others accurately point out that hospitals can provide emergency services to illegal immigrants under the program.
We can all agree on this: rooting out fraud, waste, and abuse is essential to protecting this program for the most vulnerable. It’s also one of the Trump Administration’s top priorities.
Let me lay down the facts”:
“The truth is that federal law is supposed to prohibit federal Medicaid dollars broadly from being used to cover illegal immigrants. It does permit states to use Medicaid dollars for emergency treatment, regardless of patients’ citizenship or immigration status. States can also legally build Medicaid programs for illegal immigrants using their own state tax dollars, so long as no federal tax dollars are used.
But that didn’t stop Democrats from going even further by breaking federal law to give illegal immigrants federal Medicaid dollars meant for American citizens.
Earlier this year, the CMS team began auditing state Medicaid programs to ensure they were following the law and not spending any federal tax dollars on illegal immigrants outside of emergency Medicaid. What we found was shocking.
In a preliminary review of 6 states, we found those states improperly using federal tax dollars for their allegedly state-funded program and providing coverage to individuals, including some with criminal records of murder and assault.
Those states are: CA – $1,310,032,549 DC – $2,114,628 IL – $29,778,645 WA – $2,367,194 CO – $1,506,743 OR – $5,404,368
We notified the states, and many have begun refunding the money. But what if we had never asked?
Whether willful or not, the states’ conduct highlights a terrifying reality: American taxpayers have been footing the bill for illegal immigrants’ Medicaid coverage, despite many Democrats and the media insisting otherwise.
Democrats are demanding the repeal of the President’s Working Families Tax Cuts legislation in order for their votes to reopen the government. This law wisely strengthened our ability to limit federal dollars from being spent on health care for illegal immigrants. Until Democrats explicitly drop that demand, they’re blatantly holding the government hostage over giving Medicaid to illegal immigrants.
