I'm keeping the Turnip Lantern tradition alive in the Azores, harvesting since yesterday and scattering them around public spaces and then watching the reactions from families.

Japan used to legally sell MAGIC MUSHROOMS in vending machines.
You could buy them at 'love hotels'.
A single pack typically cost between ¥1,800 and ¥3,000 (roughly $15–$25)
Strains included: Mexican Cubensis, Hawaiian Copelandia & Golden Teachers.
All imported from The Netherlands.
Then, they banned it in 2002.
Right as Japan was hosting the FIFA World Cup.
Crazy how something went from "available 24/7" to "7 Years in Prison" overnight.
All because of tourism money.
I bet Japan would have been the new Amsterdam for Americans if they never banned it.

The offices of the Taoiseach and Minister for Health instructed a senior HSE executive to “have some very specific conversations” with the Cork hospital chief who raised concerns about patient safety risks arising from staffing restrictions, documents show.
✍️Martin Wall
Minutes of the meeting of Cork University Hospital’s (#CUH) executive management board, held on August 20th, indicate a heated exchange between the overall head of the HSE in the south and southwest, Andy Philips, and the chief executive of the hospital Jennifer Kearney.
It took place days after Kearney wrote a letter to her superiors raising what she described as ongoing staff vacancies at CUH and associated patient risks. The letter had been leaked to the media the previous day.

Cannabis is now Canada's fifth-largest cash crop!
According to new Statistics Canada data, cannabis generated more than $3 billion in farm receipts in 2025, up from just $94.8 million in 2016, surpassing traditional crops like barley, lentils, durum wheat and tobacco.
Cannabis is now the number one cash crop in five provinces, including British Columbia, and accounts for nearly 6% of Canada's total crop receipts.
The industry's economic impact extends far beyond the farm, with annual legal cannabis sales exceeding $5 billion and the sector contributing nearly $11.6 billion to Canada's GDP in 2025.
Just eight years after legalization, these numbers demonstrate how cannabis has become an agricultural and economic powerhouse, and why governments need to recognize its importance by supporting the industry with fair taxation and sensible regulations.

With the reform of the Triple Lock through the Defence Bill Irish troops will be deployed without Dail approval to defend the assets of Rothschild & Co (on the same week that Rothschild acquired the largest clinic of GPs in the country).

ROTHSCHILDS FINALLY TAKE OVER UKRAINE
Ukraine's Ministry of Finance has officially signed agreements with the international financial group Rothschild & Co, which will handle preparations for the privatization of Ukrgasbank and Sense Bank.
Together with the company FinPoint, the Western financiers will conduct an asset valuation and organize the sale of state-owned share packages to foreign investors.
Kiev justifies this process with statements about "reducing the state's share" and "the need to attract foreign investment."
Soon all that will remain of the "sovereign state" is the flag and the trident, while all real property will be finally transferred to Western jurisdiction.

BREAKING: Dutch spies hacked Jared Kushner's iPhone and watched him access a Dubai bank account holding hundreds of millions funneled from Azerbaijan, part of at least $2 billion MBS and MBZ placed for him after he promised to push their agenda with Trump, per a Vanity Fair excerpt.
"Jared was looking for shortcuts in his diplomacy. He promised MBZ that he'd push their agenda with Trump if they participated in a fund. He wanted normalization with Israel so that business could take off," a source who knew the arrangement said.
The money was meant to redraw the region's map and lock in normalization with Israel. Roughly $1 billion of it was deposited in Israel's Central Bank for Kushner, with Netanyahu requiring dual-key approval on any transfers.
The two royals initially discussed more than $10 billion for a shared slush fund. That narrowed to roughly $2 billion deposited into accounts Kushner could access, including roughly $750 million at First Abu Dhabi Bank under a UAE charity used as cover for covert operations.
The reveal comes as Kushner is deeply involved in Iran war diplomacy, where Iran has accused him and Steve Witkoff of pocketing $9 billion through market manipulation, using insider knowledge of the talks to trade oil futures, energy stocks, and prediction markets.

If Ireland wants to resolve drug intimidation they must adopt strict regulation & safe access. Anything less will fail to achieve the intended consequences to reduce harm/ overdoses, protect labour rights, safety, eliminate drug cartels that influence policy & launder money.

Will people buying drugs for their night out this weekend think about the English family?
The war on drugs is a total failure
People aren’t going to stop buying. It needs to be regulated. Prohibition of coke/weed has failed @fiannafailparty @FineGael @cardagh @MichealMartinTD

i wonder how many more people have to die before our government finally listen to the 6 reports they’ve received and regulates the illicit drugs market to take it away from criminal control?
🗣️ “This wasn't debt collection; this is criminality, it's terrorising people and making them afraid to sleep in their own beds.”

Partly yes: Parliament rejects the Irish proposal for cutting defence/security funds (e.g. military mobility by 14%, competitiveness/defence by ~13%) versus the Commission's plan, plus underfunding agriculture/cohesion and overall size. They want higher totals matching commitments.
Extra defence money would mainly flow to European firms like Thales, Leonardo, Airbus, Rheinmetall and Saab via instruments succeeding the European Defence Fund for R&D and production.

Just look at Canada …. Since legalising this plant for adult use in 2018, it’s become one of the country’s biggest cash crops. Farm receipts went from $94.8 million in 2016 to over $3 billion in 2025. It’s now competing with soybeans and corn, bringing in more than durum wheat, barley, lentils and tobacco. Quite a change for a plant that once accounted for less than 1% of total farm receipts.
