Two German tourists went on holiday to Hawaii for 3 weeks.
But they never left the airport. They were arrested, interrogated for 7.5 hours, accused of intending to work illegally with zero proof.
They were held in prison for 3 days then deported.
DO NOT TRAVEL TO THE USA.
A team at Oxford built a search engine for every drug the NHS prescribes, and it has quietly saved the health service millions.
It's called OpenPrescribing.
The NHS publishes its full prescribing dataset every month. It's 700 million rows of raw numbers nobody could actually read. So Oxford built a tool that turns it into live charts in seconds.
You type a drug name. It shows you which practices over-prescribe it, which regions are slow to follow new guidelines, and where the money is being wasted.
→ Search any drug across any GP practice in England
→ Find safety and cost outliers instantly
→ 70+ ready-made quality measures
→ Updates monthly, automatically
→ Free, open source, MIT licensed
20,000 people use it every month. Doctors. Researchers. Journalists.
Public data that sat unreadable for years is now one search away.

HOLY CRAP 🚨🚨
Albania’s anti-corruption prosecutors just froze Kushner’s dirty assets in the $4 billion resort fraud probe.
The jewish-linked land grab on the Albanian coast is collapsing under fraud investigations and furious public protests.
@AmeliaRocket1 Try & imagine him in Gov. Strategies would be built around his perception of global events irrespective of evidence. Policies shaped by his clients. Yet another party spending public money to reverse what previous Gov’s spent public money on. The narrative wouldn’t change.
To all those people saying “let’s give Nigel a chance as all the others are shite” I say to them, you get what you vote for. Same goes for the people who say they won’t vote. Grow the fuck up.
One detail worth remembering: in the Epstein files, Jeffrey Epstein bragged that he represented the Rothschilds to Peter Thiel.
Now Jared Kushner says Nathaniel Rothschild found him a private island.
Sound familiar?
All roads lead to the Rothschilds.
4:45 AM. Phone rings. Esther Duflo thinks: “Who dies at this hour?” She picks up. Hears the words: “You’ve won the Nobel Prize.”
Her first reply? Not “Oh my god.”
She says: “With who?”
They tell her: “Abhijit Banerjee and Michael Kremer.”
She laughs. Passes the phone to her husband — Abhijit — who’s half asleep next to her.
Then she learns she has 45 minutes before the world starts asking her questions.
At 47, Esther Duflo just became the youngest Nobel Prize winner in Economics. Ever.
Only the 2nd woman to win it. The 1st woman economist. Period.
But forget the records. Here’s why this moment broke the internet:
For decades, experts talked about “ending poverty” like it was one giant puzzle. Big speeches. Huge budgets. Zero proof.
Esther and her team did the opposite.
“We stopped asking ‘How do we fix poverty?’” she said. “We started asking ‘Does this one thing actually work?’”
Free uniforms — do kids show up more?
Smaller classes — do they learn better?
A tiny reward for vaccines — do parents come?
They borrowed an idea from doctors: test it. Like medicine. Randomly give some villages the help, others not. Then measure what changes.
People called it crazy in the 1990s. Now it’s how we fight poverty.
They went to Kenya. India. Indonesia. Not to lecture. To listen. To watch. To learn.
And they found something powerful:
“Poor families aren’t making bad choices,” Esther explained. “They’re making smart choices with impossible options.”
Some “solutions” failed hard. Those famous microloans? Didn’t magically lift people up like everyone hoped.
But other things? Tiny. Cheap. Game-changing.
Deworming pills = kids in school for years.
A bag of lentils for a vaccine = disease rates drop.
In 2003, Esther helped start the Poverty Action Lab at MIT. By 2019, their research had touched over 400 million lives.
When she took the stage for the Nobel, she didn’t say “We solved it.”
She said: “Evidence doesn’t care about ego. It cares about truth.”
She also had a message for every girl who loves math:
“I didn’t see women like me in economics. So I became the one I needed to see.”
The lesson?
You don’t beat giant problems with giant speeches.
You beat them with small questions. Honest answers. And the guts to test everything.
Esther Duflo didn’t promise to end poverty.
She proved we can understand it. One piece at a time.
And that changes everything.

You can see it in the Design Museum for free - but only this Friday and Saturday (5 and 6 June).
There is a new scam going on in this home inspection industry
- Large corporations are buying up all the small home inspection companies
- They don’t care about making money off inspecting homes, they want the data
Why? This is where it gets borderline criminal
Home inspections are supposed to be confidential, but what they’re doing is buying all the companies to own the data
Then they are going to sell that data to insurance companies and lenders
Now with this new information the insurance company finds out, they're going to start charging you $3,000 (or whatever) extra a year to insure that house
Here’s what I’ve found
Large corporations and private equity firms are aggressively consolidating the home inspection industry primarily by buying inspection software platforms like Spectora, HomeGauge and larger inspection companies
A home inspection report contains highly detailed property specific information like roof age and condition, electrical and plumbing issues, foundation problems, HVAC status, environmental hazards
This is extremely valuable for:
- Insurance companies (risk assessment and underwriting).
- Lenders (property valuation and loan risk).
- Home warranty providers, contractors, and data brokers
Home inspections are supposed to be confidential between the buyer, inspector, and sometimes the real estate parties.
However, many inspection software companies’ terms of service allow data aggregation and sharing
That’s the loophole they found. That’s the scam
Dear Reform-voting ladies…
Do you know you’re voting for a party that wants to:
❌ Scrap the Equality Act - your legal protection against workplace discrimination & unequal pay
❌ Kill the Online Safety Act - the law protecting you from revenge porn
❌ Vote AGAINST the bill to stop workplace sexual harassment
❌ Stack the party with anti-abortion politicians - some opposing termination even in cases of rape
❌ Push “pro-family” policies that put women back in the home
I guess the question is…
Do you hate immigrants more than you love your rights?
BREAKING: A viral joke on social media to turn Trump’s White House UFC fight on America’s 250th birthday into the “gayest party in US history” is becoming real as hundreds of gay men are actually buying tickets and planning to show up shirtless, glittered up, and very flamboyant.
Aspiring barrister, 20, was treated 'like a time-waster' in hospital by doctors who sent her home before she died in agony, inquest hears
Libby Instone, a 20-year-old aspiring barrister and Newcastle University law student, died in agony after being repeatedly dismissed as a “time-waster” by staff at North Tees University Hospital.
She visited the urgent care centre three times in just over 24 hours in August 2023 with severe vomiting and abdominal pain, only to be misdiagnosed with gastroenteritis and sent home twice without proper examination or scans.
On her final visit she waited nine hours in A&E, was given a drip and painkillers, then admitted, but it was too late. She collapsed at home the next day and could not be saved.
An inquest in Middlesbrough ruled her death was contributed to by neglect and “gross failures in care”, with multiple missed opportunities to spot a blocked small intestine that a simple scan and operation could have fixed.
Her devastated mother Susan said: “Libby was treated as an annoyance, a time-waster and was never shown any compassion.”
The coroner recorded a narrative conclusion highlighting the failure to investigate persistent symptoms despite four days of black vomit and extreme pain.
"Andy Burnham has launched a scathing attack on 'profiteering' water companies, demanding United Utilities cancel its final dividend payment to shareholders in August."
Now there's something we could all vote for, well done @AndyBurnhamGM
Tip of the hat sir. 👏👏👏

@CatHobbs@We_OwnIt It performed better under the previous owners 🤔
Private or Public ownership, why does it need to be so black & white, the are other options.
@AmeliaRocket1@David_Cameron Performative politics to justify his lobbyists fee.
The political class criticise Unions but when you get down to it these grifters are worse.
