Return from exile? No thanks!
I'm not allowed, on pain of arrest, to utter a positive word about Iran's IRGC, which has just been proscribed by the British government. I can't praise the Lebanese resistance, or the Palestinian. And I can't hold up a placard about another group

The immediate release of Abu Safiya and Al-Hams, who are civilian doctors with protected status under international humanitarian law, is a top legal obligation that must be fulfilled and cannot be overlooked

Jo Nagai was raising swallowtail butterflies at his home in Kobe, Japan, when he noticed something odd. The ones he had looked after as caterpillars seemed to recognize him. Wild butterflies fled. His didn't.
He was in second grade. He wrote a four-page letter to Dr. Martha Weiss, an entomologist at Georgetown University who had studied whether moths could retain memories through metamorphosis. He asked if she could help him design a version of her experiment for butterflies.
She said yes.
Using a muscle therapy device, Jo trained caterpillars to associate the scent of lavender with a mild vibration. When the caterpillars became butterflies, 70 per cent of them still avoided the lavender. Their brains had been completely rebuilt during metamorphosis. The memory survived anyway.
Then he bred them.
The offspring, which had never been trained, also avoided lavender. So did their grandchildren. Without ever experiencing the vibration, two generations of butterflies inherited an aversion to a scent their grandmother had been taught to fear.
Jo documented it all in a 33-page research paper and presented his findings at the International Congress of Entomology in Kobe in 2024. He was 10.
A second grader wrote a letter to a Georgetown professor, and together they found evidence that butterflies can pass memories down through generations.

Esta torre de control, que durante varias décadas ha garantizado la seguridad del tráfico marítimo en el golfo Pérsico, fue bombardeada anoche en un acto de agresión de Estados Unidos. Sin otra capacidad ni objetivo que la destrucción, Estados Unidos se ha convertido en una fuente de maldad e inseguridad en el mundo.
Organic Is Turning Into One Of The Most Disappointing Labels Yet People Classify It As The Gold Standard
Organic certification is essentially a rulebook and a fee. Pay up, and you get the label, with no requirement that the food actually builds soil health or improves the land it came from
Certified organic farms can still be large scale monocultures, use USDA approved pesticides, heavily till their soil, and ship food 1,500 miles
Many farmers operating at standards far higher than organic refuse the certification entirely because they see it as a profit funnel rather than a genuine measure of how food is actually grown
Regenerative agriculture builds on organic principles while requiring measurable soil health outcomes, creating more nutrient dense food

@catrina_nortena@DiegoRuzzarin No me agrada el estilo de Diego, pero en esta ocasión, tiene total razón y lógica. Además, no se podía decir de otra manera: ese par de niñatos del podcast están bien imbéciles.
Some victories deserve to be shared. This is one of mine.

The war has returned to Gaza with full force in recent days.
It's no longer limited to isolated strikes; entire residential areas are being bombarded and destroyed. Killings are being carried out by drones, helicopters, and tanks.
There is no longer a genuine ceasefire. This necessitates our intense focus on what is happening in Gaza.
Do not underestimate the power of writing and speaking out. Silence is complicity in the killing.
"We have identified that these were cruise missiles. Tomahawk cruise missiles. Only Americans have them.”
Sky News International Editor Dominic Waghorn has said that the evidence that the US is responsible for the Minab School bombing is "uncontestable"
