Orcas are “exploding” fish for fun — scientists have recorded unusual behavior among the “killer whales” The animals accelerate to incredible speeds and ram ocean sunfish with such force that the fish literally burst apart and scatter into pieces. Biologists believe there are several possible explanations: it could be... show more

A group of orcas was captured on camera engaging in what scientists call "ram-to-fragment" behavior. One whale holds a large sunfish and lets go just before another rams it at high speed, pulverizing the fish into thousands of pieces. In a new study, scientists say the behavior could be a clever way to feed the young, a form of play, or a combination of both. Read more:

Orcas Terrorize Boats Off Portugal Within just three days, orcas have twice forced rescues in the Atlantic off Portugal. On Saturday, a pod sank a tourist yacht near Fonte da Telha beach. Then on Monday, another sailboat was struck 10 miles off Costa da Caparica, leaving it holed — four people were evacuated to Cascais port. Local authorities say the whales targeted the bow and rudder, behavior typical of Iberian orcas. Since 2020, around 500 such incidents have been recorded in the region. Scientists believe the predators act out of boredom, curiosity, or simply for “play.” But the damage is serious — boats are left crippled or even sunk.

.David Deutsch: Everyone can and should be a scientist, because being a scientist just means wanting to understand the world and using the only method of doing so that works, namely, to be puzzled, to be mistaken, to guess how one might be mistaken and how the grand authorities who can't imagine that they could be mistaken often are, and not to be satisfied with bad explanations, one's own or anyone's, that is, explanations that could have otherwise and you'd be none the wiser. That's the critical attitude. It's the only access to reality that we have. Use it. It's fun.

Ray Peat spoke about the problems with fish oil for decades: “In declaring EPA and DHA (the omega-3s) to be safe, the FDA neglected to evaluate their antithyroid, immunosuppressive, lipid peroxidative (Song et al., 2000), light sensitizing, and antimitochondrial effects, their depression of glucose oxidation (Delarue et al., 2003), and their contribution to metastatic cancer (Klieveri, et al., 2000), lipofuscinosis and liver damage, among other problems.” “Although by 1980 many animal diseases were known to be caused by eating oily fish, and the unsaturated oils were known to accelerate the formation of the "age pigment," lipofuscin, many "beneficial effects" of dietary fish oil started appearing in research journals around that time, and the mass media, responding to the industry's public relations campaign, began ignoring studies that showed harmful effects from eating fish oil.” “When animals are fed fish oil and then exposed to bacteria, their immunosuppressed thymic (T) cells cause them to succumb to the infection more easily than animals fed coconut oil or a fat free diet. Natural killer cells, which eliminate cancer cells and virus infected cells, are decreased after eating fish oil, and T suppressor cells are often increased. More subtle interference with immunity is produced by the actions of PUFA on the "immune synapse," a contact between cells that permits the transmission of immunological information. The immunosuppressive effect of fish oil is recognized as a useful aid in preventing the rejection of transplanted organs, but some studies are showing that survival a year after transplantation isn't improved.” “The most popular way of arguing that fish oil will prevent heart disease is to show that it lowers blood lipids, continuing the old approach of the American Heart Association's "heart protective diet." Unfortunately for that argument, it's now known that the triglycerides in the blood are decreased because of the fish oil's toxic effects on the liver (Hagve and Christophersen, 1988; Ritskes-Hoitinga, et al., 1998). In experiments with rats, EPA and DHA lowered blood lipids only when given to rats that had been fed, in which case the fats were incorporated into tissues, and suppressed mitochondrial respiration (Osmundsen, et al., 1998).” The Great Fish Oil Experiment (1997) Link below

CAPTAIN PAUL WATSON TO RETURN THIS YEAR TO THE SOUTHERN OCEAN TO STOP THE RETURN OF THE JAPANESE WHALING FLEET Japan has declared war on the whales of the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary. The have completed the construction of the 9, 300 ton, 112 meters long factory ship Kangei Maru. There is only one purpose for such a huge fast long range whaling processing ship and that is to hunt and kill whales in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary. The Captain Paul Watson Foundation and Neptune’s Pirates have secured a fast long range ship that can allow us to aggressively intervene. Captain Watson will lead the campaign with a courageous crew of veteran Southern Ocean anti-whaling activists. “The Japanese whalers are planning to target endangered Fin whales. We intend to stop them,” says Captain Watson. In an absurd statement Kyodo Senpaku President Hideki Tokoro told a press conference in the western port city of Shimonoseki. “It’s important to protect marine resources, and we are the ones responsible for that, I believe that continuing (whaling) will benefit both Japan and the world.” Protecting whales by killing whales is illogical. It is also illegal. There is a global moratorium on commercial whaling, Fin whales are endangered, and it is unlawful to kill whales in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary. It’s been ten years since Captain Watson confronted the Japanese whalers in the waters of Antarctica. He and his crew are ready for the challenge. Your support is crucial for this mission.

We drop fish out of planes. Well, sometimes. It’s a process called “fish stocking,” where US states breed fish with the purpose of releasing them into rivers and lakes to then be caught by fishers. And when those lakes are up in the mountains, it can take a plane or a helicopter to get the live fish to the water. But in many cases, these very lakes never had any fish in them to begin with. And adding these non-native fish can have ripple effects on the entire ecosystem.

Adult pufferfish can easily eat crayfish, and it's a natural and beneficial food source that helps keep their hard beaks trimmed and healthy. However, the size of the crayfish must be appropriate for the pufferfish species, and younger or smaller puffers may not be able to handle crayfish until they are larger.

When summer arrives, many people think of swimming in the ocean, but playing in mountain rivers is a fantastic alternative🏞️ Head to the upper reaches of a river, and you’ll find the water crystal clear. Dive in, and you’ll be soothed as schools of river fish gather around you🐟💦 You can even host a barbecue using the fish you’ve caught—there are unique pleasures to be found in the mountains that you simply can't experience anywhere else👍😊

Bill Gates “saved” Africa… by DESTROYING their food supply 🚨 Forrest Galante: “I’m going to go on a f-ing rant here. They gave millions of mosquito nets out to all these people to avoid malaria. Guess what the people who are starving to death did with their mosquito nets. They fished with them. Mosquito net has a hole that is so small that a mosquito can’t get through. So guess what? These mosquito nets now indiscriminately catch tiny baby fish in areas like Cahora Bassa where the fish go to breed and reproduce and populate. So now all of a sudden you have thousands and thousands of people that have been handed nets that have been living one way for hundreds of thousands of years. They don’t give a shit about malaria. Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation come in, hand out millions of mosquito nets, absolutely collapse the entire population of fish that feed millions of people because these people just take the nets and fish all the baby fish out so that those fish don’t grow up to make substantial protein sources. So now these wonderful philanthropists that have given out millions of nets have destroyed an ecosystem, crashed a fish population, and created widespread hunger for people that otherwise had plenty of resources. All because they were trying to help with their mosquito nets. They’ve taken such a rich and important part of Africa, one of the most abundant freshwater fisheries in the world, and destroyed it because they’re ‘helping’ by handing out mosquito nets. And they’re still giving out mosquito nets, by the way. And you literally watch these guys line up, take a mosquito net, and it never goes in their house. It goes straight to catching fish for them to eat.”

Poland, Hungary and Romania are waiting for the defeat of Ukraine to annex parts of it, – Azov Commander Biletsky “Everything with the Hungarians is obvious. They are not ready to invade Ukraine, to be allies of Putin and so on, they expect, consider the complete loss of statehood of Ukraine. Then their plan is obviously simple, given the whole history, given that it will be beneficial for Russia to make accomplices of several countries, as with the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth at the beginning of World War II. That is, they will give them Transcarpathia or part of Transcarpathia, for example. For Orban, it would be a huge victory and cementing of power for 15 years. They are not preparing for war. They are preparing, in the event of a global defeat of Ukraine, to take their own scraps. But with all due respect for our other Western allies, we must also understand that we have every chance that we will have such a story with Romania or Poland. Or with both of them” Biletsky said.

One thing that often gets overlooked is that if it weren't for the Iron Dome, hundreds of thousands of Israelis could have been killed over the years. Hell, dare I say it might even have reached a million or more. Intent is just as sickening as the possible outcome, and you can be sure that Israel's enemies have every intention of wiping out as many Israelis as humanly possible. Here, Coleman Hughes brilliantly puts forward that question, among several others. These are the questions that people like Piers Morgan and his minions should be regularly challenged with.👇

Recently, on Chris Williamson's podcast, said it's "not true" that "there are only two sexes" in humans. He also claimed that "there are people with male brains in female bodies, and conversely." I'd like to address both claims directly to help clear up some confusion. THE SEX BINARY First, Eric used the terms “sex” and “gender” interchangeably, and when prompted to clarify he explicitly claimed sex (as well as gender) was not binary. He brought up people with intersex conditions as the reason why he believes this. But the existence of people with rare intersex conditions does not in any way negate the reality of the sex binary. That’s because the sex binary simply means “there are only two sexes,” and this is true because there are only two types of gametes. Males and females are universally defined by the gametes they have the function to produce, with males producing small gametes (sperm) and females producing large ones (ova). The sex binary does not mean “everyone is either male or female.” This may seem overly pedantic, bit it’s an important distinction. It may be possible that a person can be so sexually ambiguous as to defy categorization as either male or female, but sex ambiguity is not a third sex. The existence and prevalence of complex DSDs or so-called “intersex” conditions is irrelevant to the question of how many sexes there are. So, on this point, Eric is simply confused about what sexes are at a fundamental level. There are only two sexes because there are only two types of gametes—sperm and ova. I agree with Eric that we need to be compassionate and accommodating of people who might be sexually ambiguous. But claiming it’s “no true” that “there are only two sexes’ is definitely not the way to go about this. Apart from being incorrect, it carries a tremendous amount of baggage that I believe Eric and I would both agree must be avoided. BRAIN SEX Lastly, Eric said he believed it’s true that "there are people with male brains in female bodies, and conversely." Again, I believe this is rooted in a fundamental misunderstanding about what sexes are. Simply put, brains do not and cannot have their own sex that differs from the body. Whole organisms have a sex, individual organs do not. However, it is true that various body parts and organs can differ in the degree of how masculinized or feminized they are or appear. Hands are a great example of this, as their morphology is sensitive to in utero testosterone levels. As a result, some females have very masculine looking hands, and some males have very feminine looking hands. But no matter how masculine a female’s hands may be, it would never be correct to say that she has “male hands on a female body.” The same goes for brains and any other organ or appendage. While the brains of males and females can vary in the degree to which they are masculinized or feminized, it is never the case that a person can possess the brain of the opposite sex, even if they deeply feel that way. Eric, I’m a fan of yours and believe you possess tremendous insight on many topics, but I think you need to give this specific topic some more thought. I would be more than happy to chat with you about this if you’re ever interested. I think it's extremely important. Watch the whole podcast at the link below. 🔗

"Most states in Nigeria, as you and I know, are owing the current staff that they have. Some are owing arrears of salaries; others are owing arrears of salaries and pensions. But most emoluments are not fully subscribed, and many states are not paying the minimum wage. With this state police thing we're trying to do, there will be no fiscal deconcentration. So it's not as if you're going to have fiscal deconcentration such that the share of the federation account that goes to the states will be increased. So, it can be guaranteed that these people are going to be owed salaries, but they'll have uniforms and they'll have guns. And they'll make a lot more money with uniforms and guns than anything the state government can provide for them." — Chidi Odinkalu
