His death shocked fans and sent ripples through the music world, but decades later, Kurt Cobain’s final moments are under renewed scrutiny.
The Nirvana lead singer died on April 5, 1994, at age 27, from a self-inflicted shotgun wound at his Seattle home.
At the time, the King County Medical Examiner ruled his death a suicide by a Remington Model 11 20-gauge shotgun.
Now, an unofficial private sector team of forensic scientists has put fresh eyes on Cobain’s autopsy and crime scene materials, bringing in Brian Burnett, a specialist who previously worked on cases involving overdoses followed by gunshot trauma.
Independent researcher Michelle Wilkins, who worked with the team, told Daily Mail that after just three days looking into the evidence with fresh eyes, Burnett said: ‘This is a homicide. We’ve got to do something about this.’
I’ve been building an open database of the Epstein case files for the past few months. Not to push any theory — just to make the raw data cross-referenceable. Once you connect the flight logs to the court documents to the emails to the black book, patterns start appearing that you can’t see when you’re reading individual PDFs.
The scale of it:
1,708 flights (1997–2019, including post-conviction flights through his arrest day)
6,180 court documents, DOJ releases, and EFTA files with full OCR text search
2,700 indexed emails from court releases
1,438 named individuals with documented connections mapped between them
The full black book cross-referenced against flight appearances and document mentions
What jumped out:
The network graph is the part that keeps me up at night. When you map every shared flight, every co-appearance in documents, every email chain — you get a visualization of Epstein’s actual network. Not the media version where they show the same 10 photos. The real one. With 1,438 nodes and thousands of edges.
Some observations:
— The inner circle was tiny. Sarah Kellen (338 flights), Nadia Marcinkova (110), Lesley Groff (82), and Ghislaine Maxwell operated as a near-constant logistics team on almost every flight. If you remove these 4 people from the network graph, the whole thing fragments…
…The database:
Everything is at epsteinexposed.com. Free, no login, no ads, no paywall. You can search every person, flight, document, and email. The network graph is interactive. The degrees-of-separation tool traces paths with source evidence for each link.
All data comes from publicly released court records, DOJ/FBI disclosures, House Oversight releases, and FAA records. I’m just connecting it.
The thing that bothers me most isn’t what’s in the files. It’s what’s still missing. The DOJ claims to have released “all” records under the EFTA, but they’re still holding the island visitor logbook, the boat trip logs, 40 seized computers, 70+ CDs, and a computerized database. And somehow, not a single passenger manifest after August 2013 has been made public despite 835 documented flights between then and his arrest.
Above is the reddit description by the author of the database. Below is a link to the database and a screen shot of the front page. Crowd-sourcing and individuals with skills are the new FBI and the new journalism. That’s why the bad guys want to stifle free speech. ABN
Moore’s 2021 death at age 41 from blunt force trauma after falling from a Los Angeles balcony—ruled accidental due to acute alcohol intoxication—lends this sketch an uncanny prescience. Autopsy reports confirmed no evidence of foul play.
Videos like this are today’s political cartoons, which date back centuries. Carpetbaggers after the Civil War, big fat cigar-smoking Robber Barons, or the one below which was published in 1894. The EU wants to censor X over the likes of Amelia, who is hugely popular for a reason. ABN
The Condition of the Laboring Man at Pullman (1894).
This beautiful building will be, when complete, the much anticipated White House Ballroom — The Greatest of its kind ever built! It is a rendering from the Treasury Building, directly across the street, and replaces the very small, dilapidated, and rebuilt many times, East Wing, with a magnificent New East Wing, consisting of a glorious Ballroom that has been asked for by Presidents for over 150 years. Being an identical height and scale, it is totally in keeping with our historic White House. This is the first rendering shown to the Public. If you notice, the North Wall is a replica of the North Facade of the White House, shown at the right hand side of the picture. This space will serve our Country well for, hopefully, Centuries into the future! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP
“The Welcome Guest” (2011), a silicone sculpture by Patricia Piccinini depicting a bald, elf-like humanoid embracing a young girl amid a bedroom scene with a peacock, evoking unease and tying into claims of elite fascination with disturbing imagery.
Tony Podesta’s collection of Piccinini’s and similar works as evidence of normalized depravity, contrasting mainstream dismissals of Pizzagate as baseless with persistent suspicions fueled by Epstein case parallels.

Many, including me, are seeing many connections between Epstein and Pizzagate. ABN
UPDATE: I’m not a big fan of Candace’s interviews, of which I have only watched two. She is a monologue genius but not well suited to the interview format, imo. This one is OK for about 30-40 minutes but did not promise any new information so it felt like just watching two people talk about stuff we already know. Youssef did some general analysis on USA starting at the ~35 min mark; what I saw of it was trite, so I stopped watching. Just my opinions. ABN
This is reportedly from a few years ago in Taiwan before Jensen became super-rich and famous. Nothing very special about it except it shows a dimension of Taiwan culture and Jensen’s personality. They eventually sing a song in English. It’s a good ‘slice of life’ video. ABN
Jensen Huang speaks Taiwanese Hokkien and Mandarin Chinese, though his Mandarin is described as “rusty” and learned later in life. He was born in Taipei, Taiwan, and grew up speaking Taiwanese Hokkien with his parents, who were native speakers. He began learning Mandarin in the 1980s while working at AMD to communicate with Chinese photomask workers. He has since spoken Mandarin in public, including a notable speech at the 2025 China International Supply Chain Expo, where he said, “I am very happy to be here in China,” in Mandarin. He also frequently uses Taiwanese Hokkien when in Taiwan and has been seen speaking it in public events and interviews.
It has been hailed as ‘the most significant archaeological discovery in a decade.’
Archaeologists in Mexico have uncovered a 1,400-year-old tomb in the Central Valleys of Oaxaca that had been lost to history.
The stone structure, built by the Zapotec culture, known as Be’ena’a, or ‘The Cloud People’, is adorned with sculptures, murals and carved symbols that suggest ritual significance.
The Zapotec believed their ancestors descended from the clouds and that, in death, their souls returned to the heavens as spirits.
At the entrance sits a massive carved owl, its open beak revealing the face of a Zapotec lord, a symbol the National Institute of Anthropology and History said represented death and power.
Pictured is the face of the Zapotec god inside the owl’s mouth
FIML practice can be seen as a dynamic work of art engaged in by two (or more) people. FIML practice works very well in the moment and it builds on itself by providing many moments of clarity and understanding.
FIML practice creates and defines a history of self-discovery that practitioners can share and enjoy. Since this history is based on good, clear data and since input into it is entirely up to the practitioners themselves, FIML liberates the mind from conformance to received ideas, semiotics, styles, symbols, behaviors, and so forth. FIML gives us the tool we need to freely create the relationships we want to have without illusions and without social and neurotic constraints.
FIML practice can be thought of as a sort of interpersonal performance art. By doing it, we create insights and understandings in each other’s minds. FIML liberates us from the conventional and/or habitual behaviors and interpretations that have dominated and clouded our thoughts.
FIML can only be done with another person. The person you choose to do it with is already special to you. Ideally, you already love them. Do FIML with love and understanding. FIML is a tool to make art within and between your minds.
The artist previously known as Kanye West blamed his behavior on bipolar disorder, saying he “lost touch with reality.”
Ye, the US rapper and record producer known as Kanye West, has taken out a full-page advertisement in the Wall Street Journal, expressing regret for years of antisemitic behavior.
In the ad, he wrote that he “lost touch with reality” and blamed his actions on an undiagnosed brain injury from a 2002 car crash and untreated bipolar disorder.
“I regret and am deeply mortified by my actions in that state, and am committed to accountability, treatment and meaningful change. It does not excuse what I did, though. I am not a Nazi or an antisemite. I love Jewish people,” he added.
