Years after COVID, taste comes and goes. Smell is a rumor. And food is something you chew, not something you enjoy. COVID hit the smell lining in your nose hard. The virus used its spike protein to dock on ACE2, a door found on the support cells that keep the smell sensors working. When those support cells were damaged, the mucus and signaling that carry odor broke down, and smell…
A 15-year-old gunman who worked as the bodyguard of his uncle, a top cartel leader in Michoacan, flaunted his lifestyle on social media. His story ended in a hail of gunfire when Mexican military forces hunted him down, killing him and his uncles during a raid targeting the leadership of the terror group known as Carteles Unidos. The raid took place this week at a ranch near the town of Tocumbo, Michoacan, where military forces tracked down and tried to arrest Luis Enrique “R5 or El Guicho” Barragan Chavez. The man known as R5 had taken control of the criminal…
Democrat State Rep. Angie Nixon, vying to be Florida’s next senator, once attributed a nosebleed to the “trauma” of working with Republicans in the state house, airing out her grievance on social media. The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) candidate complained about the nosebleed in a December 2023 post, writing, “My nose started bleeding in a committee meeting today. The nurses say it’s the weather, I say it’s my body being sensitive to the trauma in this place.” She continued, “As a child I would get nose bleeds when I was upset. This place keeps me upset thinking about how…

US Central Command shared footage of an Iranian oil tanker sinking after US strikes disabled three Iranian tankers, for which Iran has threatened a “faster, more intense, and more painful response.” “Thanks to the precision and professionalism of American service members, the M/T Kylo sank in the Gulf of Oman today and joined Iran’s navy at the bottom of the sea,” CENTCOM announced on X yesterday. The M/T Kylo is one of three oil tankers that US forces “permanently disabled” on Saturday in response to an unsuccessful Iranian attack on US warships.

Two days ago, I wrote an article detailing the sudden rash of “rogue AI agents” allegedly besetting the tech community, and how that may be used to bring in new regulations, notionally targeting AI, but actually limiting or monitoring how ordinary people use the internet. In the 48 hours since, that blatant fear-mongering has gone WILD. Within a few hours of our original article being published, Meta joined the parade of “rogue AIs”, when Mark Zuckerberg “confirmed” one of their AI agents had left the play area and gone toddling off into the internet to do a little bit of hacking. Then, this morning,…
(AFP) — US envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff arrived in Kyiv Sunday for their first visit to the Ukrainian capital, a day after holding talks with Russia’s Vladimir Putin in the Kremlin on ending more than four years of war between the neighbours. US President Donald Trump’s business partner Witkoff and son-in-law Kushner had visited Moscow several times but had not held talks in Kyiv — hit by deadly Russian strikes since 2022. They are due to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. An AFP reporter in Kyiv saw the American envoys arrive by train. They are hoping to…
Democrat Minnesota Senate candidate Peggy Flanagan has acted as “Tim Walz’s right hand,” Republican Senate candidate Michele Tafoya said during an appearance on Breitbart News Daily. “She is our current lieutenant governor and has been Tim Walz’s right hand for the last eight years, and that should say a lot already,” Tafoya began, pointing to the Walz administration’s “terrible record.” “The Tim Walz administration has a terrible record – I would say in many cases of no leadership during the George Floyd riots. It took three days for the governor to say anything, to do anything to try to quell…
Experts say the latest US contacts with Moscow look more symbolic than substantive, with peace talk overshadowed by wider rivalry The latest visit to Moscow by Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff has triggered a fresh wave of speculation in Russia about what Washington is really trying to achieve.With US President Donald Trump under pressure at home and much of his administration’s foreign-policy bandwidth consumed by Iran, the trip has been interpreted less as a breakthrough mission than as a signal – one that may be aimed as much at domestic American politics and alliance management as at Russia itself.Russian analysts…
Credit: rawpixel.com The Trump administration is drafting a Health and Human Services policy that would, for the first time, let a married parent who stays home with the children collect federal child-care money that Washington has spent thirty years routing almost exclusively to day-care centers. The New York Times, citing people familiar with the talks and a draft document, reports the change is a priority for Vice President JD Vance and would tap the Child Care and Development Fund, the 1990s program built to help low-income parents pay for care so they could work or go to school. Typical aid…
