There was a king of Spain whose jaw stuck out so far his teeth couldn't meet. His tongue was so big he could barely talk. He had seizures. He looked like an old man at 30 and died childless at 39. His entire family had been marrying their cousins for nearly 200 years. His name was Charles II, the last of the Habsburgs. And he is the textbook case scientists still point to when explaining why countries ban cousin marriages. The Habsburgs ran most of Europe in that period, and they refused to marry outside the family. Uncles married nieces. First cousins married each other. Royals kept marrying back into the same bloodline, generation after generation, to keep the crown in the family. Spanish scientists eventually pieced together the family tree to see what this did to their DNA. They tracked 3,000 people across 16 generations. They calculated something called an inbreeding score. It measures how much of your DNA ends up in two identical copies because both your parents inherited it from the same ancestor. A normal person scores almost zero. Philip I, the dynasty's founder, scored 0.025. Charles II, born about five generations later, scored 0.254. That is the same score a child would get if their parents were brother and sister. Every person quietly carries a few broken genes. They usually don't cause problems, because the matching copy from your other parent works fine. But when both your parents come from the same closed family tree, you start inheriting the same broken copies from both sides. Nothing cancels them out. They start showing up. About a quarter of Charles's DNA was identical pairs of these broken genes, which is why his body fell apart. He couldn't have children. When he died in 1700 with no heir, every kingdom in Europe started fighting over who would inherit Spain. The war that followed killed an estimated 700,000 people. A UK study followed 11,000 babies and found the same pattern. Children born to first cousins were twice as likely to have a birth defect, 6% versus 3%. Norway banned cousin marriage in 2024. Sweden's ban takes effect July 1, 2026. The Habsburgs ran this experiment over three centuries ago, and the science has been clear ever since.

Sweden has just BANNED cousin marriage and close relative marriage! 🇸🇪

@BriannaWu They'd subjugate the moon residents then pick fights with planetary neighbours, playing the galaxy victim as suitable. Just a guess

Theoretic question. Do you think if Jews made a moonbase and lived there people would leave them alone? Or do you think we’d start hounding them through the far reaches of space? Because I think mankind would fixate on it and try to destroy them there too.

One senior administrator shared in a presentation that Bowie State University sent 2,800 students to debt collection last year. That's almost 45% of the university's student body.
Ellie Wolfe@elliew0lfe

Bowie State University raised nearly $130 million in recent years, including $75 million from MacKenzie Scott. It’s also conducting staff layoffs + potentially laying off tenured faculty, 86% of whom voted no confidence in the president. What’s going on? thebanner.com/education/high…

@KatiePavlich It's almost as if someone allowed such harm to come to the most liberal of Israelis. Strange

The most dedicated advocates for peace and a two state solution were the Israelis who lived on the border with Gaza. They invited Palestinians into their homes to work and break bread. Gaza Palestinians returned the favor by taking notes about where safe rooms were, layouts of the homes, if there were dogs, etc. in plans for their ultimate slaughter, pillaging and rape on October 7. Dozens of Americans were murdered at the NOVA peace festival down the road. This is what these Democrat policies would ensure, again. No.

SGA, prime Harden, Embiid & Jimmy Butler are the 4 biggest foul grifters I've ever watched in the NBA. They spend all game humping the court to farm free throws, score 30+ points on like 5 made shots and it's the worst fucking thing you've ever watched. Then it's made worse by the announcers & their fans acting like it's not completely disgraceful. Fuck SGA and fuck OKC.

@VickieforNYC There's probably a vile subculture in NYC that profits on shit housing, milking voucher money as people live in squalor. Same kinds of pigs who sell taxi medallions. Legal but unethical

Let's understand a few things about what's actually about to happen here if Zohran gets his way -- which he almost certainly will, unless courts intervene. First and foremost, Cea Weaver and DSA 'organizers' will be unleashed with the full institutional and legal support of the city government to ramp up tenant complaints in targeted buildings. No complaint will be too small. No building will be too small. Everything will be treated as catastrophic. Full-scale demagoguery will ensue, complete with protests, rent strikes, street theater, and harassment of property owners. Accordingly, the city buildings department will be weaponized to begin writing as many violations as possible in order to bolster the city's effort to justify a seizure. It won't matter how small or large the violations are, the total number will be breathlessly cited as evidence of mismanagement. It will be impossible for landlords to clear these violations in good faith. The combination of a weaponized buildings department writing hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines, rent strikes, and constant threats and harassment against landlords by militant activists will make the situation untenable for any property owner to realistically fight back, and the city will seize the property. The landlord will be lucky to walk away without prison or being beaten to death in the street by an angry mob (as Zohran's buddy Hasan Piker referred to landlords -- 'let the streets run red with their capitalist blood'). But that's only the first half of the plan, and everyone needs to pay very close attention to the big picture here, because it's hugely important and has national implications. The properties will then be turned over to nonprofits. This is no small detail. This is in fact the whole point. The idea here is to build up Zohran's DSA-connected nonprofits with a multbillion-dollar portfolio of hard assets -- New York City real estate. This portfolio could theoretically reach into the hundreds of billions or even the trillions, depending on how aggressive they get. Now these highly political nonprofits would become the new land barons of New York, complete with all the political clout, leverage, and reach that goes along with it. It would be a true nightmare scenario. As it stands now, the nonprofits depend mostly on the largesse of grants, donations, and other third-party resources to stay afloat. They are lavishly funded of course, and many do hold significant assets, but it would all pale in comparison to simply handing them the keys to a New York City real estate empire, courtesy of Zohran Mamdani and the DSA. The resources at their disposal would be immense. The organizing potential that goes along with those resources will have national implications. Every DSA candidate in every town and city in the country would be trained, funded, and staffed by organizers with ties to the NYC nonprofit empire backed by a trillion dollars in free real estate. And they would be shameless in leveraging those resources for pure political power. That's the game plan here. That's the whole ball of wax. Zohran isn't interested in making housing better for anyone. If he was, we'd be talking seriously about solving the NYCHA disaster. Hell, if he was even remotely sincere about seizing these properties from 'bad landlords' for the 'public good' he'd be focused on turning them over to the city itself, as misguided as that would be. No, this is about nothing more than consolidating political power for the DSA. Just like everything else these people do. Giving the DSA a massive war chest backed by seized real estate. Once you understand that they have no interest in fixing anything other than elections, it all makes a lot more sense.
Brecca Stoll@breccastoll

NOW: Mamdani says his admin will transfer ownership from bad landlords to non-profits. “For buildings that have suffered chronic neglect, we will work to transfer ownership to responsible stewards. Stewards that include community land trusts, non-profits, or even the tenants themselves.”

Hottish take: @jalenbrunson1 is the best basketball player ever relative to his size and athletic ability. I’m not sure he can even dunk, he didn’t last night when he had a golden chance, but he’s still crazy dominant and clutch (Yep, it’s that big, no wonder it weighs him down)
