All evidence I have seen so far shows that there is quite a bit to gain – and no information loss – replacing the phrases
- "crypto",
- "crypto currency"
- "block-chain based"
with "poisoned magic beans".

The President of the United States appears to be getting regular IV infusions, the public doesn’t know anything about it, & the DC media evidently doesn’t care.
We are months into the mystery of Trump’s hands, the White House is lying, & I’ve seen a grand total of one serious news story about it.

Trump looked pretty rough today -- note that both of his hands are discolored

Biggest surprise to me since 2016 is how quickly and completely all the power centers in the US - media, finance, tech - support this movement. All the resistance has come from normals. I thought there’d be at least one or two very powerful people taking fierce steps against.

Saw Unherd.com mentioned, a "bold thinking" site that among other things has this essay on Ezra Pound: unherd.com/2025/12/ezra... Pound was an awful anti-semite who somehow escaped accompanying Mussolini and Petacci in Piazzale Loreto, but you wouldn't know that from the essay.

I made in 2017 mimicking a Scientific America Style article on the birthdate topic. This article notes the commonest birth period is late September/ early October, but does not note the gestational relationship to the topical Christmas/ New Years period.
