The latest update in non-violent Southport protestor Lucy Connolly's case is as revealing as it is disturbing:
Connolly has been eligible for Release on Temporary Licence (ROTL) since November 2024.
ROTLs permit approved inmates to spend up to two nights a month at home—a policy intended to ease reintegration .
Serious offenders—such as those convicted of violent, sexual, or terrorist offences—are specifically excluded from this scheme.
Lucy falls into none of these categories.
In fact, by all normal criteria, she qualifies.
Former prison governor and government adviser Ian Acheson has publicly described her as an “ideal candidate” for ROTL.
And yet, internal prison documents reveal what appears to be the real reason for her continued detention: media and public interest.
Yep—her release is seemingly being delayed because of how it might be perceived.
Meanwhile...
Two inmates convicted of causing death by dangerous driving have already been granted home detention curfew (HDC)—a more generous release scheme than ROTL.
They’re home.
Lucy is the mother of a 12-year-old girl whose school behaviour has reportedly deteriorated since her incarceration.
Her husband, Ray Connolly—a sitting Conservative councillor—is also battling bone marrow failure.
Both of these are recognised factors that typically support ROTL.
None of it has made a difference.

9 reasons Baking Soda is the most underrated medicine in the world:
1. It helps fight cancer:
Cancerous tumors grow in acidic environments.
Baking soda can make tumors less acidic without affecting the pH balance of healthy tissues and the blood.
Research suggests this won't treat cancer but helps fight against it.

Trump's tariffs aren't just about punishing China.

The U.S. economy rests on financial rent and military coercion.
Its power depends on maintaining monopoly control over flows it no longer produces:
– Software it licenses
– Patents it enforces
– Currency it prints
The U.S. outsourced labor, privatized infrastructure, and handed capital the steering wheel.
China retained state control and made production the spine of its development strategy.
It now produces more manufactured goods than the U.S., Japan, and Germany combined—because it never surrendered the means to do so.

The U.S. economy is dominated by the FIRE sector—Finance, Insurance, and Real Estate—which makes up over 20% of U.S. GDP (doubling the manufacturing share), yet produces no tangible goods.
Credit flows to speculation: asset inflation, buybacks, and debt servicing—not production.
The U.S. Federal Reserve defends asset prices, not industrial stability. China’s financial system is subordinated to national goals.

China’s “Big Four” banks are among the largest in the world—funding infrastructure, manufacturing, and tech development.
State-owned enterprises control over 40% of China’s industrial assets, directing capital into strategic sectors: energy, telecom, transport, and heavy industry.

The paper isn’t some vague philosophical rant: it’s a detailed policy playbook.
Almost all trade is denominated, either directly or indirectly, in dollars. This leads to most countries, as their economies grow, becoming net dollar importers. This leads to trade deficits or dollar appreciation against their local currencies, making American exports less competitive.
To Miran, this poses an existential threat to America, as dollar appreciation can lead to accelerating financialization of the American economy. Eventually, American's hollowed out economy undermines the dollars status as a reserve currency, leading to the collapse of the dollar system.

The paper’s most important strategic insight: Being the global reserve currency has come at a deep, long-term cost:
“As global GDP grows, it becomes increasingly burdensome for the United States to finance the provision of reserve assets and the defense umbrella, as the manufacturing and tradeable sectors bear the brunt of the costs.”
In short: the U.S. has been subsidizing global growth, at the expense of its own industrial base.

“They’re not adequately safety-tested.”
“Many of the vaccines are tested for only 3-4 days with NO placebo group.”
“I’ve always said … I’m not gonna take people’s vaccines away from them.”
“I’m gonna make sure that we have good science so that people can make an informed choice.”

🧵🧵 Kash Patel released the Manifesto for the Nashville sh**ter.
On April 7, 2025, Kash Patel made a significant move toward transparency by releasing over 1,000 pages of writings from Audrey Hale, the individual responsible for the tragic shooting at The Covenant School in Nashville, Tennessee, on March 27, 2023. The documents, shared exclusively with Megyn Kelly and provided to the House Intelligence Committee, shed a disturbing light about the motives behind the attack that claimed the lives of three 9-year-old students and three adult staff members.

Audrey Hale, a 28-year-old former student of the Christian elementary school, left behind a collection of notebooks, journals, and digital files that authorities initially described as a “manifesto.”
However, the Metro Nashville Police Department (MNPD) and the FBI resisted releasing these materials, citing an ongoing investigation and concerns from victims’ families about publicizing the shooter’s thoughts.
Lawsuits from media outlets, including The Tennessee Star, and public pressure from figures like Kash Patel—then a Trump administration nominee—failed to dislodge the documents during the Biden administration.

The MNPD’s final investigative report, released on April 3, 2025, claimed that no single “manifesto” existed, instead characterizing Hale’s writings as a series of notebooks and media files documenting her planning and personal struggles.
Kelly, argued that this summary downplayed key aspects of Hale’s motivations, particularly her focus on gender identity, prompting accusations of a cover-up driven by political sensitivities.

Written By An SS 3 Girl Named Uren, GSS Manguna, Bokkos, Plateau State. An eye witness account:
My name is Uren. I am from Hurti, a small village in Daffo, Bokkos LGA of Plateau State. I am in SS3 at GSS Manguna.
In Bokkos LGA, we farm potatoes, maize and whatever the land agrees to yield, because that is what we know best. That is how we survive. Occasionally, we trade. But it is the land that feeds us.
At the weekend, my people, the Ron and Kulere, held our yearly festival. People came from all over. Not because everything was all right, but because the festival gave us strength. It reminded us that we are still here. We are still alive. And even though we keep losing people, we cannot stop living. Besides, we know everyone will die someday.
On Wednesday morning, before the sun rose, my mother reminded me that we needed to head to the farm early, before the heat turned cruel and our energy, too drained to respond. There is always work to be done on the farm; come rain, come sun, dry or green. Life in our village follows that rhythm.

For some reason, that morning, I woke with the weight of Oswald's Nightfall in Soweto pressing heavily on my chest. Mr. Mallo, our literature teacher, had painted it vividly when he taught the poem. “Feel it. Poetry is meant to be felt,” he had said.
I felt it, all right. The fear. The dusk falling like judgment. I felt it because it was no longer just poetry. It was no longer Soweto. It was Plateau. It was Bokkos. It was home. It was real.

The adrenal glands, are two small triangle-shaped endocrine glands that sit on top of the kidneys.
They are broken down in the inner part (the adrenal medulla) and the outer region (the adrenal cortex, which is further broken down to the zona glomerulosa, zona fasciculata and zona reticularis).
Since they are endocrine glands, their main job is to produce hormones such as cortisol, aldosterone and adrenaline that are produced in response to stimuli from the pituitary gland (you can look up the hypothalamic pituitary adrenal axis or just corticotropin releasing hormones (CRH) and adrenocorticotropin hormone (ACTH)).

Now cortisol is a steroid hormone produced by the zona fasciculata of these glands (adrenaline is mainly produced by the chromaffin cells and aldosterone by the zona glomerulosa).
From regulating our sleep, our blood pressure, signaling to the kidneys if they should absorb more sodium or no for example, immune system, hormones and so on, cortisol is extremely important.
One example of how this happens is that, steroidogenesis is greatly affected by the mitochondrial protein StAR aka steroidogenic acute regulatory protein which is found in the adrenal glands as well besides the gonads.
Another one is that cortisol promotes gluconeogenesis and thus raises blood sugar which leads to insulin being released to counterbalance it.
Thus chronic high cortisol can lead to insulin resistance over time.
Then, cortisol also inhibits GH release.
