Brace yourself for a serious 🤯 moment. Hollywood took some major creative liberties with Velociraptors in “Jurassic Park.” Turns out the real ones were smaller and fluffier. The legendary Dr. Kenneth Lacovara sets the record straight on what Velociraptors actually looked like.

A 2-year trial just tested whether you can actually slow human aging. And it worked better than anyone expected. Two supplements helped cut invasive cancer 61% and frailty 40% in older adults, and slowed aging in their actual DNA (for under $1 a day). Here's what happened:🧵

As the Ford government promises a temporary Science Centre will open by summer 2026, critics still question why the original was shut down in the first place: "the integrity of the roof was questioned... the Science Centre has more integrity than Doug Ford," said Dr. Adil Shamji 🇨🇦.

In Jurassic Park (1993), directed by Steven Spielberg, one of the film’s most iconic scenes is when Dr. Alan Grant (Sam Neill) first sees a living Brachiosaurus. He removes his sunglasses, eyes wide in awe — a pure realization that dinosaurs truly walk the Earth again. The moment became a famous meme, and Alan Grant’s signature outfit — blue denim shirt with a red bandana — remains instantly recognizable.

🚨DNA CONTAMINATION WARNING Dr Kevin McKernan—former MIT researcher—says sequencing work has revealed residual DNA fragments and SV40 promoter sequences in some mRNA vaccine batches, elements normally used in gene-therapy plasmids. He argues these findings show regulators failed proper quality control, calling it “manufacturing slop gone off the rails.” His data are now in the congressional record and being reviewed by health agencies. If true, this would expose a massive oversight in global vaccine production—one that demands full transparency, independent verification, and accountability. Science must be tested, not trusted.

In the lead up to his fight with Andrew Tate, Chase DeMoor has said numerous times that there is a "lot he can't say." Begs the question whether Tate made Misfits include in the contract that no one can mention his charges for sex crimes against women and minors. And whether Chase DeMoor can after the fight, and that is what he's referring to? 🤔
