Science Alert reports that Alexander Ioannidis of Stanford University and his colleagues analyzed the genomes of more than 1,000 people who live in French Polynesia; 12 genomes from individuals on the island of Rapa Nui; and the genomes of people native to Hawaii, Samoa, Tonga, and Tahiti. First, the researchers isolated segments of Polynesian ancestry with machine learning, and then they applied an identity by descent method, which can identify common ancestors of living people and people from the past. The study shows that people traveled across Polynesia in small populations, sometimes resulting in a genetic bottleneck of reduced genetic...

Nov 2, 2026. Amna Nawaz led PBS NewsHour chose to sidestep the epidemic of antisemitism, (especially following dual Islamist bigots: Hasan Piker and his uncle Cenk Uygur pushing hatred in campaigning for el Sayed) and instead give El-Sayed a political assist, airing a segment on “anti-Muslim” sentiment just one day before the election. Even worse, it legitimized Hamas-linked CAIR by presenting it as a credible source, despite its leader, Nihad Awad, praising the October 7 atrocities. This wasn't journalism; it was political damage control.

La Brújula Verde reports that 4,000-year-old paw prints have been found in adobe brick at Tavşanlı Höyük, a settlement mound in western Anatolia that dates back some 8,000 years. The sun-baked bricks were part of a wall that collapsed during a fire in the Bronze Age. Mehmet Nuri Ersoy, Turkey's Minister of Culture and Tourism, said that the prints had been made by a dog. Erkan Fidan of Bilecik Şeyh Edebali University and his excavation team have also uncovered ceramics, adobe, bone, burnt wood, and flint at the site. To read about other ancient canine prints preserved in brick, go...

You need to go vote for every Republican on your ballot. The election Tuesday isn’t going to be the breaking point for this little experiment we call the “United States of America,” but if the Democrats substantially improve their position, it could haul us a long way down the dark road they seem intent on following to its dead end. And it is a dead end, not only for the country but perhaps for a lot of people, as early as 2029. That may sound alarmist to the Color Revolution Deniers™, but facts are facts. I got grief recently from...

Daily Readings from the USCCBOne of those at table with Jesus said to him, “Blessed is the one who will dine in the Kingdom of God.” He replied to him, “A man gave a great dinner to which he invited many.

Prime Minister Andy Burnham has reportedly allowed in at least 10,000 illegal boat migrants into Britain since coming to power, as arrivals surged over the weekend.

The broadcaster calculated that this means Burnham is averaging 97.5 illegal boat migrant arrivals per day, which is higher than his Tory predecessors Theresa May, Boris Johnson, and Rishi Sunak.

You may be used to seeing police cars cruising through your neighborhood or helicopters flying overhead.

The Florida Polytechnic University Police Department in Lakeland has introduced a flying patrol vehicle that the university has nicknamed Astro. Jetson, the company behind the Jetson ONE personal flying machine, built the single-seat aircraft. According to the university, it’s the first U.S. law enforcement agency to add this type of piloted electric aircraft to...

When Altman said that you dont need a computer, he's giving you the talking point of the global order. They may not ban computers outright, but it probably wont be long before you cant buy one or get parts to upgrade yours. All that will be available is a 2026 version of the dummy work station, if anything at all.
