I've had an NDE. Salvo, Liberation Scotland and ISP. Constitution of iScotland to be based on Sovereignty of the People, Claim of Right and Direct Democracy.
Look a this picture of a Scottish Greens gathering carefully. What are they doing with their thumbs? Some kind of freemason thing going on?

This from Richard Murphy is well worth a watch. Hopefully he is right about Wales, Scotland, N. Ireland and the end of the so-called UK too:

@RichardJMurphy saying the C word. SCOTLAND IS A COLONY OF ENGLAND. Anyone with an ounce of nous taking the least trouble to examine it sees it. Scots already know it in their bones before having to be told. What Richard doesn't know, we suspect, is that Scots are as sovereign in their own country - by England's agreement, at least in theory and according to the non-operational Treaty of Union and the defiled Claim of Right - as the English are in theirs.
This is the first real airing of Scotland's colonial status on the Anglo-British broadcast media, but we are supremely confident it will not be the last.
Please repost the living daylights out of it.
I recently found out that Microsoft on a fresh install of Windows 11 to new computers automatically sets the SSD to be encrypted. You need a key, which is supplied (and you had best not lose that!), to decrypt the drive. What I suspect is happening there is that this is a move to (eventually) arrange things such that Microsoft is effectively the owner of your drive and computer and all the files on it. Eventually you will have no control at all over your computer and files — that will all belong to Microsoft by default.
BREASTMILK
She thought she was studying milk.
What she uncovered was a conversation.
In 2008, evolutionary anthropologist Katie Hinde was working in a primate research lab in California, analyzing breast milk from rhesus macaque mothers. She had hundreds of samples and thousands of data points. Everything looked ordinary—until one pattern refused to go away.
Mothers raising sons produced milk richer in fat and protein.
Mothers raising daughters produced a larger volume with different nutrient balances.
It was consistent. Repeatable. And deeply uncomfortable for the scientific consensus.
Colleagues suggested error. Noise. Statistical coincidence.
But Katie trusted the data.
And the data pointed to a radical idea.
Milk is not just nutrition.
It is information.
For decades, biology treated breast milk as simple fuel. Calories in. Growth out. But if milk were only calories, why would it change depending on the sex of the baby?
Katie kept digging.
Across more than 250 mothers and over 700 sampling events, the story grew more complex. Younger, first-time mothers produced milk with fewer calories but significantly higher levels of cortisol—the stress hormone.
The babies who drank it grew faster.
They were also more alert, more cautious, more anxious.
Milk wasn’t just building bodies.
It was shaping behavior.
Then came the discovery that changed everything.
When a baby nurses, microscopic amounts of saliva flow back into the breast. That saliva carries biological signals about the infant’s immune system. If the baby is getting sick, the mother’s body detects it.
Within hours, the milk changes.
White blood cells surge.
Macrophages multiply.
Targeted antibodies appear.
When the baby recovers, the milk returns to baseline.
This was not coincidence.
It was call and response.
A biological dialogue refined over millions of years. Invisible—until someone thought to listen.
As Katie reviewed existing research, she noticed something unsettling. There were twice as many scientific studies on erectile dysfunction as on breast milk composition.
The first food every human consumes.
The substance that shaped our species.
Largely ignored.
So she did something bold.
She launched a blog with a deliberately provocative name: Mammals Suck Milk.
It exploded. Over a million readers in its first year. Parents. Doctors. Scientists. People asking questions research had skipped.
The discoveries kept coming.
Milk changes by time of day.
Foremilk differs from hindmilk.
Human milk contains over 200 oligosaccharides babies can’t digest—because they exist to feed beneficial gut bacteria.
Every mother’s milk is biologically unique.
In 2017, Katie brought this work to a TED stage. In 2020, it reached a global audience through Netflix’s Babies. Today, at Arizona State University’s Comparative Lactation Lab, she continues reshaping how medicine understands infant development, neonatal care, formula design, and public health.
The implications are staggering.
Milk has been evolving for more than 200 million years—longer than dinosaurs walked the Earth. What we once dismissed as simple nourishment is one of the most sophisticated communication systems biology has ever produced.
Katie Hinde didn’t just study milk.
She revealed that nourishment is intelligence.
A living, responsive system shaping who we become before we ever speak.
All because one scientist refused to accept that half the story was “measurement error.”
Sometimes the biggest revolutions begin by listening to what everyone else ignores.

@JaidevJamwal@nam_xmr_ OpenOffice is the walking dead. No major updates for years. LibreOffice is the way to go, I've used it for years on Windows and it is a very capable Office Suite. Just do not expect it to be Microsoft Office 365 (or whatever they are calling it now).
@jakeq9170 It's good news that an independent Scotland would be recognised. However, no sane country would nowadays even contemplate joining the EU. Just look at what it has become, it wouldn't pass any litmus test on it being a democracy. EFTA type arrangement would be best for Scotland.
@TheParty1sOver Absolutely so. And the ill-born spawn of Humza Yousaf, the support law for the GRA, the "Hate Crime and Public Order (Scotland) Act 2021" should be repealed too.
@Record_Politics The whole point of the legislation is that it deals with people who are terminally ill. You could argue that they want to live, fair enough, don't we all. But the salient fact is that they are going die, and nothing will change that. (It comes to us all in the end.)
@JamesMelville As far as I am aware the Scottish Government are in the intermediate stages of rolling out Digital ID for Scotland.
https://t.co/FdFxBhMYba
@leeharris I think the statement that Starmer has a 'reverse Midas touch' is just propaganda spin on the part of the Guardian. It takes the heat off the thought that Digital ID is deeply sinister in it's own right. It's not the policy, it's Starmer. Aye, right!
