NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani speaks on finding his wife on dating app Hinge, revealing that he fell in love with her at first sight, and says they both ended up deleting the app after meeting each other ❤️🩹🙌
“I think I was in love from the moment I saw her photo. I screenshotted her Hinge profile before she even matched back… I’m very much a romantic… And then when you meet the love of your life, to actually be living what felt like a fantasy when you first saw their face, it’s hard to believe.”

A government program released 282,800 radioactive ticks into the wild. Exposed zero of the downstream consequences. And 450,000 Americans are now allergic to red meat.
The tick releases were real. That’s documented. Daniel Sonenshine at Old Dominion College, funded by the Army’s biological weapons program, released 152,000 radioisotope-tagged lone star ticks at two Virginia sites between 1967 and 1969. The sites sat on the Atlantic Flyway, the bird migration superhighway running up the Eastern Seaboard. Migratory birds could carry ticks from Newport News to Long Island in five days.
Before those releases, lone star ticks didn’t exist above the Mason-Dixon Line. Within years, they’d established populations on Long Island for the first time. Two tick researchers told journalist Kris Newby they “were aghast” when they learned about the experiments.
But the tweet frames this as “government created a meat allergy.” That’s not where the evidence points. The Army was studying tick dispersal patterns for potential bioweapons delivery. They wanted to know how far ticks travel via wildlife. They tagged them radioactive so they could track migration with Geiger counters. The alpha-gal mechanism wasn’t even discovered until 2009, forty years later.
The actual scandal is worse than the conspiracy version.
The CDC estimates 450,000 Americans now have alpha-gal syndrome. Cases are increasing by more than 15,000 per year. 42% of primary care doctors have never heard of it. Only 5% feel confident diagnosing it. Patients spend years getting told they have anxiety or IBS before anyone tests for alpha-gal antibodies.
And here’s the part that should make you angry: Congress ordered the Pentagon to investigate whether DoD weaponized ticks between 1950 and 1975. That amendment passed in 2019. The House voted for it. We still don’t have a public report.
The military released nearly 300,000 ticks into the wild to study how they spread. Those ticks spread. The diseases followed. And the institutional response has been six decades of not asking the obvious follow-up question.
You don’t need a conspiracy when negligence and institutional silence produce the same outcome.
London today
Thousands in the streets demanding the West stop bombing Iran.
Spain said no. Turkey honored Spain on live television. The UAE’s most powerful businessman demanded Trump explain himself. A Turkish anchor ended her broadcast in Spanish. Australia got quietly pulled in through the back door.
And now London is in the streets.
The governments are with the war.
The people aren’t.
