It has become fashionable to say that Indians lack 'civic sense'. However, that is a misdiagnosis.

Civic behaviour is not instinctive. It is taught by the State to consciously build citizens.

Civic behaviour is learnt, and the Indian State never took the initiative.

THRD Image
Every single modern country treats citizen formation as a core responsibility of governance. Civic education is made mandatory, formal, and continuous, not as moral preaching, but as practical instruction in how to live together. This binds people around good civic values.
India never undertook this project with seriousness. Civic education remained fragmented, abstract, and largely informational. It explained institutions, but it did not shape behaviour. The everyday habits required for collective life were assumed rather than taught.

“Illusion Veils the Matrix, We Architect Our Own Reality” by Carli B. Frueh

Ever feel like reality is just an illusion? A matrix veiling the truth?

In this raw memoir, I share my suicide attempt—a gunshot that grazed my heart—and the five days in a mental hospital where I..
navigated alternate dimensions, confronting my shattered psyche.

This near-death experience sparked enlightenment: We are the architects of our reality. Time is an illusion, souls eternal. Break free from limitations and build your paradise.

Like passing Bottomless Lakes, I..
learned there’s no true bottom—only endless possibilities we create.

1. Don is just the poster boy for everything wrong with the mainstream propaganda machine we call media worldwide. Except maybe, Russia, believe it or not.

Joeseph Goebbels would be so proud of what is referred to as 'News' today.

Can't believe I'm saying it, but without the free speech of X right now, most would all still be clueless.

What I find amazing is; talk to anyone NOT on X and most have no idea what's happening at all...anywhere in the world, about anything, let alone Minn.

The Cabal really have reduced the population to mindless drones and automatons just shuffling through each day.

UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed’s visit to India was expected but its last-minute announcement made it interesting.
I unpack why this visit matter more than headlines- by looking at timing, regional dynamics & 🇮🇳 evolving role in the Gulf. 🧵

When world leaders visit India, they conclude with a day or 2. But this time, HH MBZ India visit lasted about three hours. But it was a significant visit with the two leaders announcing their intention to conclude a “framework agreement” for a strategic defence partnership.
MBZ places 🇮🇳 on its high priorities for partnership. This is his 5th visit travel to India in the last 10 years & his 3rd official visit as the president of the UAE.

1️⃣ Meeting Outcomes- The two leaders reviewed the full scope of bilateral cooperation between both the nations &

The recent train derailment occurred in Spain's Córdoba province on January 18, 2026 at around 7:45 p.m. local time (6:45 p.m. GMT).

Do your own math. I've ridden on high speed Spanish trains. They are incredibly efficient and well run systems.

A pride of their nation.

When the wrong sex hormones (specifically, high levels of androgens in a female fetus or insufficient/incorrect hormonal signaling in a male fetus) cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) during critical, sensitive windows of development, it can lead to permanent, "organizational" changes in brain structure, behavioral, and neurological differences. 
The brain is usually protected from maternal estrogen by alpha-fetoprotein, but this does not always protect against androgen exposure. 
Here is what happens when this "mismatch" occurs:

1. Permanent Alteration of Brain Sexual Differentiation 
The brain undergoes sexual differentiation (masculinization or feminization) in the womb (starting in the second trimester) and in early infancy. If this process is disrupted, the brain's organization may not match the genetic sex or the genital development. 
•Excess Prenatal Testosterone (Masculinization): If a female fetus is exposed to high levels of androgen, it can induce male-typical organizational changes in brain structures.
•Androgen Insensitivity (Feminization): In cases of complete androgen insensitivity syndrome (CAIS), XY individuals with high testosterone have female-typical brain structures because the brain cannot process the androgens, leading to female-typical behavior. 

2. Behavioral and Developmental Consequences
Studies suggest that prenatal hormone imbalances during critical windows are linked to several, often long-term, behavioral outcomes: 
•Play Behavior and Gender Identity: Prenatal androgen exposure in females is associated with increased male-typical play behavior, toy preferences, and higher rates of gender dysphoria.
•Autism Spectrum Conditions (ASC): Research indicates that elevated prenatal testosterone is a potential risk factor for autism spectrum conditions, which are more common in males.
•Cognitive and Emotional Differences: Incorrect hormonal exposure can lead to changes in fine motor skills, spatial tasks, and verbal memory. 

3. Structural and Functional Brain Changes
The "wrong" hormones can change how brain regions develop: 
•Amygdala and Prefrontal Cortex: These regions, involved in emotion regulation, are heavily influenced by early hormone exposure. Improper exposure can lead to reduced volume or altered connectivity.
•Hippocampus: Changes here can affect memory and cognitive function.
•White Matter Anomalies:Studies onCongenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH), where females are exposed to high prenatal androgens, show white matter anomalies, indicating potential differences in structural connectivity. 

4. Long-term Mental Health Risks
The organizational changes caused by these hormonal mismatches can heighten susceptibility to psychiatric conditions in later life: 
•Neuropsychiatric Disorders:Abnormal hormonal exposure in adolescence (a second sensitive window) can affect neurotransmission, particularly the dopamine system, increasing the risk of schizophrenia, depression, and anxiety.
•Emotional Dysregulation:Atrophy in specific regions, caused by hormonal imbalances, is linked to difficulty in controlling negative emotions, increased irritability, and depression.
Image
In essence, the brain becomes "mis-sexed" relative to the rest of the body, leading to structural differences in regions like the hypothalamus and limbic system that are resistant to change later in life

Compare & contrast. This is Trump’s demand for Greenland. And this is Hitler’s for the Sudetenland.

There is no difference. The language. The unstoppable need to dominate. The megalomania. It’s the same.

And Keir Starmer’s response is appeasement. We are in that moment.

I’m back to mocking up my own headlines for my newsletter because the press - esp here in the UK - is failing to meet the moment.

We’re now trapped between Russia in the east. And the US in the west. Two hostile states openly seeking to crush us.

1/ Huge numbers of Russian soldiers are dying unnecessarily in Ukraine because commanders at every level are falsifying claims of success, according to Russian warbloggers. "To back up their words, they're sending people to their deaths," says one front-line soldier. ⬇️ Image
2/ The image above is an extract from an official Russian Ministry of Defence map showing a completely fictional front line around Kupyansk in Ukraine's Kharkiv region. Commanders falsely reported having taken settlements around the city before it was regained by Ukraine.
3/ Russian commentators call this practice "taking on credit" (as in amassing credit card debt). Commanders have both financial and career motivations for making false reports of success, which are relayed all the way up to Vladimir Putin himself.

i dont think they are getting the 11th airborne ready for MN...

i really think its a deployment to greenland..

here is why.

its the ONLY division that has a airborne qualified arctic unit in the entire army. the only one!!! Image
a battalion is about 500 or so in peacetime...
if its true that 1500 to 2000 troops are being prepped that would mean they are probably taking the slice elements with them... artillery, mortars, etc... you dont normally do that for crowd control Image
this is about the farthest unit you could deploy to MN... plenty of far closer units.. Image

1 in 4 men experience ED (Erectile dysfunction) before 30.

The first symptom is cold hand and feet...

And it has nothing to do with age or testosterone levels.

Here’s everything you need to know about erectile dysfunction (before it’s too late):🧵
Most men think ED is about testosterone.

It’s not.

90% of ED cases are vascular, which means your blood flow is compromised.

If you’re struggling with erections, your arteries are already in trouble.

ED is often the first sign of heart disease.
Erections require just one thing:

Blood.

When you’re aroused, nitric oxide is released, relaxing blood vessels and sending blood to the penis.

If your nitric oxide levels are low, that means no blood flow.

Of course, there’s no erection. Image

#SupremeCourt to continue hearing today at 2 PM the #StrayDogs case

Bench: Justices Vikram Nath, Sandeep Mehta and NV Anjaria

The matter was extensively heard earlier this month, with the Bench primarily examining the issue of stray dogs in institutional premises and noting the failure of municipal authorities

Intervenors (dog lovers and NGOs) pray for modification of the Court's earlier directions, so that stray dogs are released in the same area from where they are picked up

They have suggested some scientific models, adoption of which can tackle dog population and eliminate dog bite incidents in a few years

Victims' side has argued inter-alia for removal of stray dogs from residential complexes/housing societiesImage
On the last date, the Court indicated that it may impose liability on both civic authorities and dog feeders for any injury or death caused by stray dog attacks.

#SupremeCourt #StrayDogs
Hearing in #StrayDogs case begins

A counsel seeks adjournment for Sr Adv Jethmalani

Court declines

Counsel: He has some data

J Nath: Give us a note. We will finish private party arguments today and then give one day to state.
