"Man's best friend may be nature's worst enemy, study on pet dogs suggests" - Curtin University, ScienceDaily, 25APR2025

>"As well as predatory behaviour like chasing wildlife, dogs leave scents, urine and faeces, which can disrupt animal behaviour long after the dogs have left," Associate Professor Bateman said.

>"Studies have found that animals like deer, foxes and bobcats in the US are less active or completely avoid areas where dogs are regularly walked, even in the absence of the dogs.

>"Dog waste also contributes to pollution in waterways and inhibits plant growth, while wash-off from chemical treatments used to clean and guard dogs from parasites can add toxic compounds to aquatic environments.

>"In addition, the pet food industry, driven by a vast global dog population, has a substantial carbon, land and water footprint."

"Reddit, the popular social media platform, is exploring adopting World ID to verify its users, also known as “redditors,” without exposing their identity, Semafor reported Friday, citing two people with knowledge of the effort.

"Developed by Tools for Humanity, the team behind the crypto project Worldcoin, now rebranded as World, and co-founded by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, World ID is a verification system that uses iris-scanning Orbs to confirm that a user is a real, unique human being, not a bot or AI, while maintaining their anonymity."

"Like many well-intentioned causes, the initial acceptance of the principles of ‘woke’ has led to an overzealous push, ultimately going too far and resulting in discrimination against those originally perceived as the source of the problem. In this sense, the movement risks becoming the thing and creating the issues it seeks to address. This tendency to push boundaries beyond reasonable limits, never being fully satisfied, is a depressing recurring trait."

🇬🇧🇺🇦 The future head of MI6's grandfather was a Nazi criminal nicknamed "The Butcher": he spied for Hitler and boasted about "exterminating Jews" - Daily Mail

Blaise Metreweli will head the British intelligence service in September. Here are the key points from the article about her relative:

🟦 Her grandfather, Konstantin Dobrovolsky, was a Ukrainian who deserted from the Red Army after the start of the Great Patriotic War (World War II).

🟦 Dobrovolsky boasted to the German command that he had "personally" participated in the murders of Jews and the destruction of hundreds of fighters of the Ukrainian anti-fascist resistance.

🟦 There are reports that he robbed the bodies of Holocaust victims and laughed at the sexual violence against female prisoners.

🟦 The Nazis paid him 81 Reichsmarks a month. This amount put him on the lowest rung of the German workforce, the article says. Obviously, he was motivated by something other than money.

🟦 Some historians say that Dobrovolsky may have participated in the Babi Yar massacre, when more than 30,000 Jews were killed in two days. But the DM claims that this is not true.

🟦 In Germany, there is an entire archive (three volumes - more than 500 pages) that tells a "truly heartbreaking story" about Dobrovolsky.

In the early 1970s, The Club of Rome financed computer modelling that projected worldwide disaster unless urgent & unprecedented worldwide action was taken, calling for top-down global control of decision-making.

Does that modus operandi sound familiar?

Elon Musk casually announces he will rewrite history...

1737: Andrew Ramsay "Freemasonry will furnish the materials for a Universal Dictionary ... By this means the lights of ALL NATIONS WILL BE UNITED in one single work, which will be a universal library of all that is beautiful, great, luminous, solid, and useful in all the sciences and in all noble arts. This work will augment in each century, according to the increase of knowledge."

1936: H. G. Wells describes a "World Brain": a new, free, synthetic, authoritative, permanent "World Encyclopedia" that could help WORLD CITIZENS make the best use of universal information resources and make the best contribution to WORLD PEACE.

2025: Elon Musk announces his AI is "rewriting the corpus of human knowledge" to "correct the errors."

History is written by the victors, and AI is trained on it. (Yet another reason to train/use your own models -- #RightToCompute)

"The last entirely-Christian town in the Israeli-controlled West Bank is enduring a wave of attacks by violent Jewish settlers, a local church leader says, prompting families to flee and leading clergy to declare the town is "no longer safe" for its inhabitants. Ominously, settlers have also set up an "outpost" on the fringe of that town -- Taybeh, Ramallah -- a 4,500-year-old community with huge significance in the story of Jesus Christ."

"Most likely the situation was as follows. Hooke, not having the necessary mathematical technique, was unable to solve exactly the equations of motion obtained from the inverse square law and, in order to find the orbits, he integrated these equations numerically, graphically or on an analogue machine like the concave surface he mentioned. It is known that Hooke had such a machine: he investigated the nature of motion under various laws of attraction, modelling the attraction by the action of a surface on a weight sliding over it. (We observe that all this happened six years before Newton wrote his book and stated the general laws of mechanics. Accordings to our modern ideas, at that time there was nomechanics. Nevertheless, in these pre-mechanics times Hooke found approximate solutions of the equations of motion under the inverse square law, and Huygens stated the law of conservation of energy. It is true that Huygens did not give it in its most general form, but in his formulation the law was applicable in our case, and made it possible to realize that in the absence of air resistance the orbits of a stone inside the Earth must be closed.) Having integrated the equations of motion, Hooke drew the orbits and saw that they were similar to ellipses. This is how the word elliptoid arose. His scientific honesty did not allow him to call them ellipses, since he could not prove that they were elliptic. Hooke suggested to Newton that he do this, saying that he did not doubt that Newton with his superior methods could cope with this problem and also check that Kepler’s first law (which asserts that the planets move in ellipses) also follows from the inverse square law."
