El 31 de octubre de 1501, el ex cardenal Cesare Borgia supuestamente organizó una orgía en el Vaticano con "50 prostitutas honestas" en la que su propio padre, el papa Alejandro VI, no solo asistió, sino que participó.
Era conocida como el Banquete de las Castañas.
El papa Alejandro VI fue considerado uno de los papas más corruptos de toda la historia católica. Su nombre se asoció con incesto, adulterio, soborno y asesinato.
El papa también era conocido por vender cargos oficiales dentro de la Iglesia y por asegurar poder y riqueza solo para su familia, la Casa de Borbón.
BREAKING: South Korea just announced mandatory fuel rationing. Government vehicles at public institutions barred from operating one day each week on a five-day licence plate rotation.
The world’s 10th largest economy, a G20 member, a semiconductor superpower, home to Samsung and SK Hynix, the country that fabricates a quarter of the world’s memory chips, is rationing fuel like Sri Lanka.
South Korea imports 73 to 87 percent of its oil from the Middle East. Every barrel transits the Strait of Hormuz. The strait is closed and mined. There is no alternative route for Korean crude imports at scale. The Kospi crashed 4.9 percent on Monday before Trump’s “productive conversations” post briefly eased the panic. The won is weakening. Inflation is accelerating. And now the Energy Minister is telling government workers which days they cannot drive.
Count the dominoes. Sri Lanka rationed first: Wednesdays off, QR codes at pumps, LPG vanished from southern shelves. Bangladesh followed with public holidays to conserve fuel. Pakistan imposed restrictions. India tightened allocations. Slovenia became the first EU country with QR codes and odd-even plates. Now South Korea. The rationing is no longer a developing-world phenomenon. It is migrating up the GDP ladder. The 10th largest economy. The 12th largest military budget. A US treaty ally hosting 28,500 American troops. Rationing.
Those 28,500 troops run on fuel. USFK operates bases across the peninsula that require continuous diesel, aviation fuel, and generator capacity. Joint exercises with the ROK military consume thousands of tonnes of fuel annually. Every barrel of that fuel traces back to the same Middle Eastern supply chain that South Korea’s Energy Minister just acknowledged cannot sustain civilian demand. If civilian vehicles are being restricted, military logistics are under pressure. If military logistics are under pressure, deterrence against North Korea erodes. If deterrence erodes, Pyongyang and Beijing calculate. The Strait of Hormuz is 7,500 kilometres from the Korean DMZ. The fuel that deters Kim Jong Un transits a chokepoint held closed by Iran’s 140 remaining missile launchers.
Kim Jong Un is watching. Every day that South Korea rations fuel is a day that North Korea’s calculus shifts. Not toward war, not yet, but toward the conclusion that the American alliance system has a fuel dependency that a single regional conflict can exploit. The US cannot simultaneously secure the Strait of Hormuz with carrier groups, deploy 82nd Airborne paratroopers to the Iran theater, accelerate the 11th MEU from San Diego, AND maintain full deterrence posture on the Korean Peninsula. Something gives. The fuel rationing in Seoul is the first visible signal of what is giving.
Taiwan is watching too. TSMC’s fabrication plants in Hsinchu are counting LNG reserves in single-digit days. Taiwan imports virtually all of its energy. If South Korea, with its larger strategic reserves and diversified economy, is already rationing, Taiwan’s timeline is shorter. The chips that power every Nvidia GPU, every Apple processor, every AI training run on Earth depend on a gas supply that depends on a strait that depends on a 5-day pause that depends on a Truth Social post that Iran says corresponds to nothing.
Sri Lanka. Bangladesh. Pakistan. India. Slovenia. South Korea. Six countries rationing. Three continents. One strait. The molecules do not check GDP rankings. The molecules check whether the chokepoint is open.
It is not.

⚡️ A radiation-eating fungus has been found at Chernobyl
Researchers at the Chernobyl site have discovered the fungus Cladosporium sphaerospermum, which grows faster under radiation exposure and partially absorbs it. Thanks to its melanin, it literally “converts” radiation into energy. On the ISS, its growth rate was 20% higher than on Earth — space conditions only boost it.
Scientists believe such a bio-shield could be grown directly in space. It’s a cheap, lightweight, and self-repairing alternative to heavy protective materials.
This discovery could become a practical breakthrough for future space missions. Instead of hauling massive metal radiation shields, researchers are considering “living” fungal walls capable of protecting astronauts on the Moon and Mars.

The Aftermath of a Father Digging a Grave for His 2-Year-Old Daughter:
In 2017, Zhang Liyong, from a rural village in Sichuan, learned that his two-year-old daughter was diagnosed with severe thalassemia. The treatment required a hematopoietic stem cell transplant, with total costs approaching nearly one million yuan RMB. To save their daughter, Zhang Liyong and his wife exhausted all their family savings but still couldn’t afford the subsequent medical expenses.
In despair, the father dug a grave with his own hands for his daughter, saying that if she were to leave this world one day, he hoped she could adapt to death sooner. Zhang Liyong stayed with his daughter, sleeping and playing in that earthen grave.
After the video spread online, it touched the hearts of people across the internet.
Thanks to the power of the internet, Chinese crowdfunding platforms stepped in to help the family, raising the full amount of treatment costs in less than a month. Even more heartening, following the doctor’s advice, the couple had another daughter, and the younger sister successfully saved her older sister using her own cord blood. Later, a compassionate entrepreneur also covered all the recovery expenses for the older sister.
After his eldest daughter was discharged from the hospital, Zhang Liyong filled the grave back with soil and scattered sunflower seeds over it.
Love can traverse the deepest despair, blooming with hope even in the most barren soil!
My best advice for the left-liberal camp is:
Next time, when a politician or activist, or journalist on your side gets to insult an entire demographic group, cancel them. Like entirely disown them, and cut them off
Lefties got too comfortable with insulting & antagonising ppl
