Ever wonder if eventually cells could be trained out of disease states? We're on the path; first steps:

The GRU hacked into Jared Kushner's iPhone. Dutch military intelligence (MIVD) then recruited a GRU spy who gave them access to the hacked phone. What MIVD discovered was that Kushner had access to two bank accounts --one Azerbaijani, the other Israeli --where Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Emirati ruler Mohammed bin Zayed deposited money. It sounds like a slightly far-fetched episode of "Slow Horses," but it's real. And it proves just how eye-poppingly corrupt this administration was and continues to be as its "special envoy" decides the fate of tens of millions in Europe in the Middle East. Simply incredible reporting by Matthew Cole, drawn from his new book on Kushner. vanityfair.com/story/jared-k…
Russian President Vladimir Putin has proposed that he, President Donald J. Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping meet next month to discuss the war in Ukraine, without Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, according to people familiar with the discussions who spoke to The Wall Street Journal. A former Russian intelligence officer said Putin raised it in an Oct. 9 call with Trump.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed discussions are taking place, saying there is “no clear understanding yet regarding the meeting itself or its potential agenda.” A senior U.S. official said Trump has not agreed but could be receptive. The White House declined to comment.
The Kremlin suggested holding it on the sidelines of the APEC summit in Shenzhen, China, Nov. 18 and 19, the sources said. Others close to the talks said China indicated it would not object if Trump is on board.

Researchers at MIT have captured, for the first time, the dynamic process that marks the very beginning of life: when an egg cell is fertilized, it triggers waves of activity that ripple across its membrane.
These waves act like a biochemical signal, initiating the complex sequence of events that drives the cell to start dividing and developing into an embryo.

Indeed. An impact, but not just of force, of Logos. Could it be Logos coded as calcium, firing an instruction set🤷♂️
At the Planck boundary, every ‘impact’ is a sync-pulse, a moment where the hidden order imprints onto the material one.
In signal-processing terms, it resembles the moment two oscillators briefly synchronize,
a handshake pulse marking alignment between two domains. A mathematical fingerprint.

Bravo👏 Levin’s importance is not that he has proven a Platonic realm, what makes this manuscript unusually important is that it does something many non-physicalist philosophers do not:
✅ Levin tries to specify what experiments should be run next if the ontology is true

Here it is - the official, revised, peer-reviewed version of my Platonic Space paper. mdpi.com/2409-9287/11/5/161 Of all the many unpopular positions I’ve taken over the decades - bitter controversies around the origin of left-right asymmetry in embryogenesis, bioelectricity and genetics, diverse intelligence, etc., this one has by far generated the most pushback: serious (grateful for those!) and energetic attempts to move me to other views, pleas to just drop it and not talk about it (for several different reasons), nasty emails and accusations, impacts on reviews of papers that have nothing to do with this, etc. Kind of amazing to me how incendiary this is. What can I say... Our job is to call it as we see it, and right now for me, this is it. Apologies to collaborators and colleagues for any shrapnel! Time will tell if this pans out or not; I've placed my bets. And btw, if you think this stuff is weird and uncomfortable, just wait… There’s much more on the way. The knob turns slowly but as long as the data keep coming, I'm going to say what I think it all means and follow it to the next steps it enables. Buckle up!

Perched 120 meters above the ground on a vertical cliff face in Shiniuzhai National Geological Park in Hunan, China, this two-square-meter store is billed as the world's most inconvenient convenience store. Built as a rest stop for rock climbers scaling the cliff via metal anchor points, it sells water and snacks at ground-level prices — around 2 yuan (30 cents) per bottle. Staff carry the day's stock up the cliff in backpacks before every shift and work 8am to 5pm. They're also reportedly careful about how much they drink themselves, since the nearest restroom requires a long climb back down. The store is nearly 10 years old but was shut during the COVID pandemic and has faced ongoing staffing difficulties, meaning climbers sometimes reach the top to find it closed. Cash only — no WeChat Pay or Alipay confirmed.

🚨 Scientists have uncovered how deliberately training the mind to notice and savor positive experiences can fundamentally reshape neural architecture through neuroplasticity, the brain's remarkable ability to form new connections and reorganize itself in response to repeated activity.
Our brains naturally exhibit a negativity bias, an evolutionary remnant that prioritizes threats and unpleasant events for survival, causing positive moments to fade quickly while negative ones linger.
However, consistent practices like gratitude journaling or pausing to absorb good feelings counteract this by repeatedly activating reward and emotion-regulation circuits in regions such as the prefrontal cortex and anterior cingulate cortex.
Each time you focus on something uplifting—a kind interaction, a beautiful sunset, or personal accomplishment—neurons fire together, strengthening synaptic pathways associated with optimism and resilience.
Over weeks, this repeated activation thickens gray matter in areas tied to learning, memory, and emotional processing while diminishing the dominance of stress-related networks.
The result is a brain more attuned to positivity, reducing anxiety, enhancing emotional regulation, and fostering greater well-being even amid challenges.
Starting today requires only brief daily intention: notice the good, enrich the sensation by lingering on its details for ten to thirty seconds, and absorb it fully to convert fleeting experiences into lasting neural traits.
This accessible process empowers anyone to harness neuroplasticity for a more balanced, joyful mind.

How can something as abstract as a graph, consisting of nodes, edges, and a few dynamical rules, end up looking so alive? It's one of the strangest strengths of Mathematics.
