Things Worth Noting
Is college a scam? Once a sure path to a well-paying job, higher education now burdens many with skyrocketing tuition—averaging $38,270 yearly, up 60% since 2000—and $1.7 trillion in student debt, with borrowers owing $39,375 on average. Graduates face underemployment in 41% of cases, earning starting salaries like $50,000 that barely cover loans, especially for […]
Pesticides like glyphosate, organophosphates, and neonicotinoids, used widely in agriculture, disrupt gut health by harming the gut microbiome, the diverse bacteria in our intestines vital for digestion, immunity, and overall health. Chronic exposure through food or the environment causes dysbiosis, reducing beneficial bacteria like Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes, lowering microbial diversity, and weakening the gut barrier. […]
George Zinn, a 71-year-old libertarian conservative and Utah political gadfly, surged into headlines after the September 10, 2025, assassination of activist Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University (UVU). Arrested for obstruction of justice after falsely confessing to the shooting—amid viral footage of his pants slipping during detention—Zinn was swiftly cleared as the active shooter, facing […]
Moderate alcohol consumption, defined as up to one drink daily for women and two for men, may reduce risks of heart disease, ischemic stroke, and type 2 diabetes. Light drinking boosts HDL cholesterol, improves insulin sensitivity, and lowers blood pressure via antioxidants like resveratrol in red wine and polyphenols in beer, which curb inflammation and […]

This can happen if you’ve been excessively tweeting, using automated tools or bots, or engaging in spammy behavior. Here are some steps you can take to fix your Twitter search suggestion ban: Remember, it’s important to […]
Vitamin D, the “sunshine vitamin,” may slow biological aging by supporting cellular health, reducing inflammation, and protecting against age-related diseases. It promotes telomere maintenance, epigenetic regulation, and mitochondrial function, while combating inflammaging and cellular senescence. Found in fatty fish, fortified foods, and supplements, vitamin D is also synthesized through sunlight exposure. Deficiency, common globally, accelerates […]
Does WiFi affect sleep? WiFi emits low-level radiofrequency (RF) radiation, raising concerns about its impact on sleep quality, melatonin production, and circadian rhythms. Research, like a 2016 study in Journal of Sleep Research, shows no significant link between typical WiFi exposure and sleep disturbances, though some report issues possibly due to electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS). Blue […]
Space: The first direct observation of gravitational waves detected two merging black holes, emitting 36 septillion yottawatts (3.6×10⁴⁹ watts), surpassing the total light radiated by all stars in the observable universe.

Surviving 100 hours without food is a challenging fast that tests physical and mental resilience. In the first 12 hours, the body uses glycogen stores for energy, then shifts to ketosis, burning fat for fuel by 12-36 hours. By 36-72 hours, autophagy may enhance cellular health, but risks like nutrient deficiency and dehydration grow. After […]
McDonald’s fries, made from Russet Burbank potatoes, are a fast food icon, but their “dark truth” involves controversial ingredients and health risks. Grown with pesticides like Monitor, potatoes are blanched with sodium acid pyrophosphate and pre-fried in vegetable oils (canola, corn, soybean) containing omega-6 fatty acids, linked to inflammation. Additives like TBHQ, dimethylpolysiloxane, and natural […]
