Father's diet before conception influences children's health | ScienceDaily
"Previously, it was assumed that fathers had no part in the genetic makeup of their offspring's mitochondria. However, recent studies like this one now show that sperm carry fragments of mt-RNA ("mt-tsRNA") into the egg during fertilization. The mt-tsRNAs play a role in epigenetics, regulating gene expression in the early embryo: they can indirectly influence the development and health of the offspring by modifying the activity of certain genes in the mitochondria. Thus, fathers have an important, albeit indirect, influence on the genetic imprinting of mitochondria and thereby on the energy metabolism of their children." https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2024/06/240605162338.htm

People were apparently paid to attend Donald Trump's rally in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Sunday, according to Tennessee Democratic election commissioner Chris D. Jackson, although it's not clear who did the paying."
Read this verbatim transcript and tell me whether it’s from an escaped mental patient or the GOP nominee for the President of the United States.
“…I say what would happen if the boat sank from its weight and you’re in the boat and you have this tremendously powerful battery and the battery is now underwater and there’s a shark that’s approximately 10 yards over there. By the way, a lot of shark attacks lately. You notice that? A lot of shark. I watched some guys justifying it today. Well, they weren’t really that angry. They bit off the young ladies leg because of the fact that they were, they were not hungry, but they misunderstood what, who she was. These people are cray. He said there’s no problem with sharks they just didn’t really understand a young woman swimming. Now really got decimated and other people too. A lot of shark attacks. So I said, so there’s a shark 10 yards away from the boat. 10 yards over here. …
"Do I get electrocuted if the boat is sinking, water goes over the battery, the boat is sinking. Do I stay on top of the boat and get electrocuted or do I jump over by the shark and not get electrocuted because, I will tell you, he didnt know the answer. He said, you know, nobody’s ever asked that question. I said, I think it’s a good question. I think there’s a lot of electric current coming through that water, but you know what I’d do if there was a shark or you get electrocuted? I’ll take electrocution every single time. I’m not getting near the shark.”"
Donald Trump's Probation Interview Is Tomorrow: Report - MeidasTouch News
"When Trump is sentenced by Merchan on July 11th, he faces the possibility of up to four years in New York state prison, although because he is a first time, nonviolent offender, any recommendation from probation and prosecutors will likely be less. As part of the sentence, Justice Merchan will have the option to place Trump on probation or impose other requirements.

“I Love Getting Even.” - by Jay Kuo - The Status Kuo
"Each of the interviewers threw him a softball: If you’re elected, you won’t really seek revenge on your enemies by prosecuting them right? All that talk of “I am your retribution” was just braggadocio, right?
Not a chance. Given the opportunity to walk back his threats of revenge, Trump stood firm. In fact, he doubled down and explained why revenge against his opponents might be an unfortunate necessity, as if he reluctantly would be required to exact it against those who have sought to hold him to account.
The fact that many of Trump’s allies in the media are trying to get him to soften his position—and that Trump appears unwilling to do so—is telling. Do they really believe Trump is other than who he says he is? " https://statuskuo.substack.com/p/i-love-getting-even
"Trump’s thirst for revenge now includes specific names, on a list that would rival Arya Stark’s in Game of Thrones. It now includes those who worked closely with him, including his former chief of staff John Kelly, his former attorney general Bill Barr, his former lawyer Ty Cobb, and retired former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Mark Milley. And of course, it includes Joe Biden and his family, whom he would go after with the appointment of a Special Prosecutor.
"The job of making all this happen has been outsourced, said the Post, to the people behind Project 2025, which has produced a sprawling blueprint on how to systematically destroy American democracy and replace it with a Christian Nationalist, authoritarian government under Trump. The methods include executive orders, already drafted, that would deploy the military domestically under the Insurrection Act."
Basic income can double global GDP while reducing carbon emissions | ScienceDaily
"Every dollar spent on implementing basic income can generate as much as $7 in economic impacts, the analysis shows. "If you give someone one dollar, they will spend part of the money to buy food or pay rent. And people that are paid for the food and accommodation will use part of this for their own consumption and so on. The dollar will trickle up throughout society. Our calculations show that the economic impact of that dollar will be much greater than its original amount," Sumaila says.
"The team also explored ways to fund basic income. They estimated that taxing CO2 emitters alone can generate about $2.3 trillion a year, enough to provide a basic income for all people living below the poverty line in less developed countries."
