It's horrifying how easily preventable this was, and yet it wasn't…
Your daily dose of natural disasters and amazing phenomena for April 6, 2024...
Why do you have a loaded handgun in the same room as toddlers? If you feel like you need one in the home, why isn't it holstered? What were you doing in the other room that you couldn't bring the gun with you? Why couldn't you unload it? How could you have the foresight to put it under the couch with the toddlers in it as opposed to literally anywhere else, aside from maybe directly in their hands? It's horrifying how easily preventable this was, and yet it wasn't… Boy accidentally shoots and kills self, Allentown man charged…
No need for concerns… When the celebrities and politicians start running to the Denver Airport then you'll know something is up…
This microbiome stuff is so fascinating and really out of left field given the vast scope of developmental and physiological activities it is implicated in. If you would have told me in grad school that gut bacteria would be linked with a host of neurological, immune, and metabolic pathologies I would have told you go to back to witch doctor school… Disturbed gut flora during the first years of life is associated with diagnoses such as autism and ADHD later in life, according to a study on more than 16,000 children born in 1997–1999 and followed from birth into their twenties…
M4.8 earthquake in New Jersey yesterday. The best thing about that area is that the bedrock is nearly intact, a small quake will be felt over a much larger area. In California the bedrock is shattered more or less so anything around a 5.0 will be localized to a few dozen miles or so from the epicenter. How wild would it be if we actually get a major earthquake in the new madrid fault line in the next few days? Can’t wait for absolutely NOTHING to happen on April 8th… Something will happen! An eclipse! But of course I may be wrong…
Interestingly, coyotes in the northeastern US are much larger because they actually have some wolf DNA. Sounds like this one was a true wolf though… Giant coyote killed in southern Michigan turns out to be a gray wolf — despite the species vanishing from region 100 years ago…
These are the days where one begins to wonder... is this satire? Just a Florida man going to the beach…
At least he’s ready for the coming apocalypse… LOL! When I was in Antarctica, some days we were in t-shirts on the ice-breaker… And that was something like 30 years ago… It seems that most of these so-called ‘scientific staff writers’ have never really experienced what they are writing about… Puppets! An unprecedented leap of 38.5C in the coldest place on Earth is a harbinger of a disaster for humans and the local ecosystem…
This video thoroughly combs through the systemic nature of the AI hype, which will profoundly impact our ever decreasing availability of fresh water. The "AI revolution" is only going to accelerate this depletion and all in the name of profit, and straining the systems we depend on such as agriculture and household energy needs. Already, the AI computing and data centers take up vast amounts of water equivalent to nation-states and increasingly encroaching into areas of crucial water tables…
It’s important to note that this is despite Germany having an aging population, which means the recent increases in crime rates actually have to overcome the usual decline we have across most of population as it grows older. Unless it’s a bunch of violent grandpas, of course… Violent crime in Germany at its highest level for 15 years…
Three killed after high winds pull them out of their apartments in China…
HEY FRIENDS! PLEASE SUPPORT MY WORK! THANKS YOU!
Wait, you're telling me you can't just stop and restart one of the most important developmental stages of a humans life like some sort of video game, with absolute no consequences? I am shocked, shocked I say! Puberty blockers may NOT be reversible and could raise children's risk of fertility problems and even cancer…
UK courts are trying to force a woman to get her disabled son vaccinated against C19 - this is happening NOW, not three years ago…
The new science of death: ‘There’s something happening in the brain that makes no sense’…
After a major magnitude 6.5 earthquake struck offshore of Indonesia's Bawean Island, something unexpected occurred. At 8 separate locations along a trend hot geothermal water and gas suddenly emerged from the ground, occurring alongside a "sulfur smell". New fumaroles and hot springs had just formed at the Bawean volcano, which had not erupted in 250,000 years. So, is this long dormant volcano suddenly reactivating?
Anyone know how often they serve guacamole in prison? Customer shoots Chipotle worker over guacamole dispute in Southfield…
Strange animal behaviors during solar eclipses…
Terror attack in Norway? Armed police are placed in front of 3 Mosques…
Several parts of the Russian Siberian and Ural mountains as well as neighbouring parts of Kazakhstan have been hit with floods in recent days and a state of emergency has been declared in Orenburg. Officials say a burst dam in the city of Orsk, about 276 km (171 miles) east of Orenburg, threatens over 230,000 people with flooding…
LOL! NYC fails… New York City to pay $17.5 million to settle suit over forcing women to remove hijabs for mug shots…
Deadly nor'easter wreaks havoc in New England as nearly 2 feet of spring snow falls in Vermont, New Hampshire… At least four people have died in the storm that brought nearly 2 feet of snow to higher New England elevations and winds gusting to 70-85 mph, knocking out power to over 600,000 customers…
And again, they are baffled… Archaeologists probe claims of giant skeletons in Nevada caves…
A 100-mile wide shaft of cool air is about to race through Earth's atmosphere faster than 1500 mph. It's the shadow of the Moon created by Monday's total eclipse of the sun. This animation shows the progress of darkness across the United States:
Solar eclipses make their own weather--starting with the temperature. How much the temperature falls depends on the humidity. Dry environments could see a drop of 8 to 14 degrees, less so if it’s humid. According to NASA, an eclipse in Zambia on June 21, 2001, reduced the temperature nearly 15 degrees. The reduction in temperature can make clouds disappear. Satellites observing eclipses from Earth orbit have detected many examples. A 10-year study just published in Nature found that cumulus clouds begin dissipating when a mere 15 percent of the sun is covered. In some cases, clouds didn’t start to return until 50 minutes after maximum eclipse. This could be good news for eclipse chasers in Mexico and Texas, where widespread cloudcover is expected on April 8th. The eclipse itself might help clear the sky. Don’t forget your eclipse glasses if yu want to look at the sun…

Hey friends! Now its time to SUPPORT MY WORK!
If a few more people choose to become paid subscribers, I could expose more lies, root out more corruption, and call out more hypocrites. So, if you can afford it, please support this work.
Thank you and have a great Saturday,

The science of brain death as it happens. Very fascinating. I doubt very much that what they are looking for can be found with science. How can science find “some thing” “bigger,” more vast than itself….? I think in a story it’s described as the pot being able to understand the potter.
What is meant by the word “consciousness” is more than the human physical consciousness of being awake, and not in a sleeping, restorative state. With all due respect to the philosophers that chose that word to “describe” all that is - it’s a lousy descriptor/word, and causes much confusion.
Again - lots of great subjects in this newsletter!
Thank you.
My local climate can swing over 100 degrees F in 12 hours in the fall. Yet no one drops dead from instant climate change. And somehow, local farmers manage harvest 4 crops of alfalfa in the summer.
I wonder if any Eskimos have ever visited Death Valley, and if so, did they survive? Probably not. They look a lot like native Hawaiians.
