Things Worth Noting
Excessive screen time disrupts sleep, hormones, and overall health by exposing the body to blue light that suppresses melatonin and alters the circadian rhythm. This leads to poor sleep quality, insomnia, and fatigue. Continuous screen use also activates the HPA axis, raising cortisol levels and stress, while reducing parasympathetic recovery needed for rest. Poor sleep […]
Homicide clearance rates in the U.S. have dropped sharply from 93% in 1962 to about 50% by 2022, amid rising violent crime trends and murder rates. This decline highlights issues in the criminal justice system, including police investigations and public safety implications. A case is cleared by arrest or exception, tracked via uniform crime reporting […]
Natural musk, the subtle scent from body oils, mild sweat, and skin bacteria post-shower, signals individuality, health, and warmth, driving human attraction subconsciously. Produced by apocrine glands in the axillae and shaped by skin microflora like aerobic coryeform bacteria, it includes volatile compounds such as aliphatic acids and odorous steroids. Human pheromones like androstenone, androstadienone, […]
In July 1947, a mysterious crash near Roswell, New Mexico, sparked decades of UFO speculation. Rancher William “Mac” Brazel found strange debris—lightweight, indestructible, with odd hieroglyphics—on his land near the Roswell Army Air Field. Major Jesse Marcel investigated, and a press release claimed a “flying saucer” was recovered, only for the military to retract it, […]
The deep state refers to a secretive network of unelected officials, intelligence agencies like the CIA and FBI, and bureaucracy accused of wielding hidden power over governments. Often called a shadow government, it’s blamed for mass surveillance, endless wars, and disinformation to control society. Rooted in the military-industrial complex and Cold War secrecy, the theory […]
The DINK (Dual Income No Kids) lifestyle, where couples choose a child-free life, offers financial freedom, career flexibility, and personal fulfillment. With no kids, DINKs enjoy disposable income for travel, hobbies, and early retirement savings, as raising a child can cost over $300,000. Variations like DINKWAD (with a dog) or GINK (eco-conscious) reflect diverse motivations, […]
Big Pharma and Big Food fuel a health crisis through ultra-processed foods (UPF) like sodas and snacks, packed with sugar, fat, and additives. These hyper-palatable products, classified as Nova group 4, drive obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and liver issues, exploiting addictive properties. Big Food uses tobacco-like tactics—lobbying, kid-targeted marketing, and distorted science—while Farm Bill subsidies […]
Invisible threats like airborne microplastics, indoor pollutants, and environmental degradation harm our health, with studies showing we inhale up to 68,000 microplastic particles daily. These tiny synthetic fibers, along with dust, VOCs, and PM2.5 from wildfires, infiltrate homes, causing respiratory issues, heart disease, and even cancer. Air purifiers with HEPA filters capture 99% of particles […]
Prostate cancer, a common cancer in men, often grows slowly but can become aggressive, spreading to other areas. It affects the prostate gland, which produces seminal fluid. Risk factors include age (over 65), African descent, family history, obesity, smoking, and poor diet. Early stages may show no symptoms, but later signs include trouble urinating, frequent […]
Rapid weight loss from extreme dieting, bariatric surgery, or medications like Wegovy mobilizes fat, releasing persistent organic pollutants (POPs) like PCBs, dioxins, DDT, and PFAS into the bloodstream. These lipophilic toxins, stored in adipose tissue, can cause metabolic disruption, inflammation, insulin resistance, and cardiometabolic issues. Highly lipophilic POPs like PCB-153 spike significantly during weight loss, […]
