⚡️BREAKING: The US has restarted "Project Freedom" to escort ships through the Strait of Hormuz Details per reports: — The last time the U.S. Navy attempted this operation, major clashes broke out between Iran and the US — It has now been confirmed that last night’s clashes are linked to “Project Freedom.” — Iran has already struck an oil tanker near Oman

The EU has said it will maintain its diplomatic presence in Kiev unchanged, despite Russia's warnings. Well, apparently they've got diplomats to spare and need to trim the headcount.

Airstrike on UAE🇵🇸 Iranian fighter jets have reportedly destroyed American airbases. More than 200 missile attacks have been carried out on UAE so far.

“AND YOU STILL DARE TO OPEN YOUR MOUTH…” Sasha Legerman: This is too accurate not to share. This Australian’s response to Trump’s rant that “NATO does nothing for America” is absolutely devastating: “Mate. You run a country where 600,000 homeless people will sleep on the streets tonight. A country where 40% of adults can’t cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment, and people ration it just to stay alive. A country where medical debt is the number one cause of bankruptcy. A country where women die in hospital parking lots because doctors are too afraid of abortion laws to treat miscarriages. You imprison more of your own citizens than any country on Earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. In the land of the free, 2 million people sit in cages, and a quarter of them haven’t even been convicted of anything. They’re simply too poor to afford bail. Your life expectancy is declining. You’re the only developed nation where that’s happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba’s. Your children practice active shooter drills between math and English classes while you sell defense stocks to your friends. Your minimum wage hasn’t changed in 15 years. Your teachers work two jobs, your veterans sleep under bridges, and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that never attacked you. And now a convicted criminal — found liable for sexual abuse, defending a pedophile, sleeping with a porn star, and running the biggest dumpster-fire campaign since the Taliban — is thanking you for yet another disaster. And you call Greenland badly governed? Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody there goes bankrupt because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because insurance refused treatment. ‘NATO wasn’t there when we needed them.’ When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn’t even in NATO, and we still showed up. For twenty years. And then you left at 2 a.m. without telling anyone and left everybody else to clean up the mess. You don’t care that a great nation is being terrorized by your friend, and you haven’t shown it a single ounce of sympathy. So maybe before calling other countries badly governed, take a look at your own backyard, you aluminum siding salesman with a spray tan. The only thing badly managed in this picture is your damn mouth. And you still dare to lecture the rest of the world?”

These headlines are both form today. 🇮🇱: Says 🇷🇺: Threatens

Russia carried out a large attack on Kyiv using around 600 drones and 90 missiles. Are you satisfied with this action ? 1️⃣ ○ Yes 2️⃣ ○ No

At some point, Europe's establishment began to portray hot weather as scary and wrong. Climate hysteria has to be injected, because nobody really buys into it.

@mrboboskie @Yoda001 You are wrong. It will be a prison.

@Yoda001 A 15-minute city just means having shops, schools and basic services closer to where people live, nobody is getting locked inside Oxford like it’s The Hunger Games. Think about that…. 🤔

So Oxford UK is to become a 15 minute city in August. Do people realise what a 15 minue City is?????? Do you realise they need a pass to leave it, even to go to work???? That they are fined if they go over the pass limit. They must have facial recognition cameras everywhere!!!!! Anyone on here from Oxford?????

@Yoda001 For those saying this is fake news....

🚨 BREAKING: Just one hour after a U.S. strike hit an Iranian naval vessel, Trump’s claim that Iran’s navy was “completely destroyed” is already being challenged. Now Tehran is striking back. 🇮🇷⚔️ This doesn’t look like real peace — it feels more like a temporary pause before a much bigger escalation. 🚨🔥

As the hantavirus scare faded away, they are now trying to produce an Ebola scare—any virus to justify the EU/UK's imminent energy lockdowns. The only viruses that will drive EU/UK energy lockdowns are the viruses of wrong bureaucratic decisions and false narratives.

So what happened to Hantavirus? Barely heard anything about it lately. Did the media abandon it when the fear mongering didn't work🤔

@kumxem No 😡 With hot weather the people are much more friendly and communicative.

Can we all agree that extreme cold is better than extreme heat??

Some nursing homes struggle to attract visitors. One in the Netherlands chose to invite roommates instead. In the Dutch city of Deventer, a retirement home called Humanitas introduced an idea that would eventually gain attention around the world. Rather than accepting loneliness as a normal part of aging, they approached it as something that could actually be solved. For over ten years, Humanitas has allowed university students to live inside the nursing home rent free. In return, the students spend about thirty hours each month connecting with residents. Sometimes that means sharing meals, having conversations, helping with technology, joining activities, or simply keeping someone company during a quiet afternoon. They are not nurses or employees. They are simply part of the community. At first, the idea sounded like a smart response to expensive student housing. But the real impact appeared in the lives of the residents. Reports from outlets such as PBS NewsHour and AARP described seniors becoming more social, more active, and less isolated once younger people became part of everyday life. What makes the story even more meaningful is that many students chose to spend far more time there than the agreement required. Some even stayed connected after graduating. Over time, casual interactions turned into genuine friendships. Humanitas didn’t really create something new. It brought back something many societies once had naturally: different generations living side by side instead of separately. Maybe the issue was never aging itself. Maybe it was the distance we created between generations. Sometimes the most powerful ideas are simply old human connections rediscovered.

When the Romans came to Britain in 43 AD, they brought their farming with them. Mostly grain. Wheat, barley, the kind of arable agriculture that worked in Italy and southern Gaul and required a lot of organised labour and the kind of climate where summer is reliable. They discovered, fairly quickly, that Britain did not have that climate. The summer was a rumour. The winter was a threat. The rain was constant. The soil in most of the country was either acidic, waterlogged, or sitting on top of clay that turned to concrete in July and slop in January. The native Britons, watching the Romans struggle, were running a different system. They had cattle. They had sheep. They had pigs that lived in the woodland and ate the acorns. They moved animals seasonally, between summer uplands and winter shelter. They built their food production around the things that Britain actually grew, which was grass and acorns and not very much else without an enormous amount of effort. The Romans, eventually, adapted. The villas they built had grazing land attached. The estates were structured around livestock as well as grain. They learned, with some reluctance, that you cannot impose Mediterranean agriculture on a country that has decided to be Britain. In 2026, a government policy unit in Westminster is suggesting that we should replace livestock with plant proteins. The Romans got the message in two centuries. We appear to have forgotten it in less than one.

Absurd

A Stanford psychologist spent 4 years proving that the simple act of walking generates 60% more creative ideas than sitting, and the experiment she designed to kill every alternative explanation is one of the most decisive findings in modern psychology. Her name is Marily Oppezzo. She got the idea for the study while walking with her advisor at Stanford to discuss her thesis topic, and the paper she eventually published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology in 2014 is sharp enough that it should have ended the seated meeting on the day it came out. She ran 4 experiments on 176 people. Same person tested twice. Once sitting, once walking. The creativity tasks were the standard ones psychologists have used for decades to measure how good a brain is at generating novel useful ideas. The result was almost too clean to publish. 81% of participants in the first experiment produced more creative ideas while walking than while sitting. In the second experiment, 88%. In the third, 100%. Every single person walked into a more creative version of themselves. On average, people generated 60% more novel useful ideas the moment their legs started moving. The skeptical question is the obvious one. Maybe it was the fresh air. Maybe it was the scenery passing by. Maybe it was the change of environment doing the work, not the walking itself. Oppezzo killed every one of those explanations with one experimental decision. She put people on a treadmill facing a blank wall. No scenery. No fresh air. No environmental change. Just legs moving in place while staring at white drywall. The 60% boost held. Then she ran the experiment that closed the case completely. She took participants outside in two conditions. Half of them walked through a Stanford courtyard. The other half were pushed through the exact same courtyard in a wheelchair. Same outdoor stimulation. Same scenery passing at the same speed. The only difference was whether the legs were moving. The walkers produced dramatically more novel high-quality ideas than the wheelchair group. The outdoors did almost nothing on its own. The walking did everything. This is the part of the study that hit hardest when I read it the first time. She also tested the opposite kind of thinking. Convergent thinking. The kind where there is one right answer and you have to narrow down to it. Word puzzles where 3 words share a hidden fourth word that connects them. The seated participants did slightly better on these. Walkers got slightly worse. Walking is not a general intelligence enhancer. It does one specific thing. It opens up the divergent search inside your brain. The part that generates options. The part that produces unexpected connections. The part that takes a problem and finds five ways into it instead of one. When you need to converge on the single right answer, sit down. When you need to find the answer in the first place, get up. The mechanism is now well understood. Walking selectively activates what neuroscientists call the default mode network, the system inside your brain that runs when you are not consciously focused on anything. The DMN is where mind-wandering happens. Where memories cross-reference each other. Where ideas that have been sitting in separate folders inside your head finally bump into each other. When you sit at a desk and force yourself to concentrate, you suppress the DMN. When you walk at a natural pace, the executive part of your brain gets just busy enough handling the walking that the DMN comes online and starts doing the work that focus was blocking. The most useful finding in the entire paper is the one almost nobody quotes. The boost did not turn off the moment people stopped walking. Participants who walked first and then sat back down stayed elevated. Their next round of seated creativity work was still significantly better than people who had been sitting the whole time. The rest lingered for at least several minutes after the legs stopped moving. You do not need to do creative work while walking. You need to walk before the creative work. The brain holds the state. The history of this is the part that should haunt anyone who still does meetings in chairs. Charles Darwin built a gravel loop behind his house in Kent called the Sandwalk and walked it 3 times a day for the rest of his life. The theory of evolution was developed one lap at a time on that path. Nietzsche walked up to 10 hours a day during the years he wrote his most important books and openly said the work was conceived on his feet. Beethoven composed for the morning and walked for 5 hours every afternoon with a pencil in his pocket for when something landed. Kahneman said the best thinking of his Nobel Prize-winning career happened on leisurely walks with Amos Tversky. Steve Jobs refused to take important conversations sitting down. He held them on foot. Every one of them was using the system Oppezzo would not measure until 2014. They just did not know what to call it. The question worth sitting with is the one almost nobody asks. Every meeting you have ever attended sitting around a table was a meeting held at a fraction of the brain power that was actually available to the people in the room. Every brainstorm that got stuck inside a conference room. Every problem you tried to solve at a desk and gave up on. Every idea you could not quite get to. The intervention is the easiest one in modern science. No supplement. No app. No subscription. No training program. Just a pair of legs and 15 minutes. The Stanford lab proved it. The philosophers knew it. The neuroscience explains it. And almost everyone reading this is still trying to think their way out of problems sitting completely still.

Start decades ago

🚨 do you understand what just happened with Rupert Lowe.. The outspoken leader of the “far-right” Restore Britain party, famous for his hardline campaigns against immigration, halal slaughter, burqas, sharia, and “Islamist influence,” just proudly posted photos of his son’s wedding… into a Libyan immigrant family… • His Son Angus married Yasmin Mezran • Yasmin is the daughter of Libyan-born Karim Mezran • Karim is a prolific pro-Islam academic • And a senior fellow at the pro-immigration Atlantic Council • The wedding menu reportedly served halal meat! Then the replies from his own supporters started flooding in: • “Encouraging your English child to marry a fucking foreigner?” • “Proud that he married a brown foreign invader?” • “Their kids won’t be English. This is not restoring Britain.” The man who calls halal slaughter “morally repugnant” and wants to ban it… had it served at his own son’s wedding. The man who says “million must go” and that Islam is the enemy… proudly celebrating the marriage of his son into an immigrant Muslim family. The optics for the “no-compromise” “Restore Britain” leader, are brutal.
