Keruntuhannya mulai terlihat sepeninggal Mahapatih Gajah Mada. Sejarah Indonesia mencatat, di wilayah Nusantara pernah berdiri negara besar dan kuat yang akhirnya musnah, yakni Kerajaan Majapahit. Kemaharajaan Majapahit menjadi imperium adidaya pada abad ke-13 Masehi.
M.C. Ricklefs dalam Sejarah Indonesia Modern (1991) menyebut Majapahit merupakan kerajaan Hindu-Buddha terakhir yang menguasai Nusantara dan dianggap sebagai salah satu negara terbesar dalam sejarah Indonesia.
Too niche to get picked up at the time and now depicting a type of nerd that doesn't really exist anymore.
The comic is also really good too. Rare depiction of old fandom that isn't interested in being lighthearted and just goes for the throat in showing how unpleasant these people could be.
Ronald Lee “Ron” Launius, leader of the Wonderland gang and the first victim in the Wonderland murders, was involved in drug trafficking during his stint in the Air Force, hiding drugs in/on the bodies of deceased soldiers.

Wonderland Ave is also not far from Lookout Mountain.
We’ve been taught American history starts in 1776. Maybe 1492 if you’re lucky.
But if you know where to look, the ground tells a much older story.
The Adena culture shaped the land with ritual and precision—3,000 years ago.
Here are 5 of their most important sites—still standing, still mysterious🧵

Grave Creek Mound – Moundsville, WV
Built around 250 BCE, this 69-foot earthwork is one of the largest Adena mounds ever raised constructed basket by basket, with an estimated 60,000 tons of soil.
Inside: log tombs, red ochre, mica sheets, marine shells from distant coasts, and a carved stone tablet still debated today.
It wasn’t just a burial. It was layered with meaning—soil, ash, and symbolism stacked with purpose.

Miamisburg Mound – Miamisburg, OH
Set atop a natural bluff, this 65-foot conical mound dominates the Great Miami River valley. It’s the tallest Adena mound in Ohio—and one of the largest in North America.
Despite limited excavations, it’s believed to contain multiple burials layered deep within. The full interior remains largely untouched.
Its placement feels intentional. The mound commands long views of the sky and surrounding land, as if marking something more than territory.
It may have aligned with celestial cycles or served as a spiritual waypoint

@smokingvader @lukeisamazing the scene at the end of EoE where Yui tells Fuyutsuki about her plan of making Eva the ultimate proof of humanity's existence is a key scene that gives further clarity to her actions in the past -- she wanted to become Unit-01 to literally become that proof that humanity existed
@smokingvader @lukeisamazing at the end of the film she then floats off into the endless abyss of outer space, forever as Unit-01 with her blue hair flowing free

The announcement regarding the composition of the Gaza Executive Board, which is subordinate to the Board of Peace, was not coordinated with Israel and runs contrary to its policy.

The speed to add manufacturing capacity is stunning. Permitting takes weeks. A factory making sophisticated equipment is built in 12 months. An auto plant took 16 months from groundbreaking to first production. Slack in labor market makes it easy to staff and flex employment.

The US and China have significantly decoupled since early 2020. The # of flights between the two countries is down roughly 70%. Two long-term residents I spoke with said the # of American expats is down 50-75% from the peak. The # of Americans studying in China is down ≈90%.

Almost 1/3 of my clients hate GYMS.
Hate the culture. Hate the noise. Hate the time.
Yet their fasting insulin drops from 12–14 → 2.5–3.5 mIU/L in 90 days.
No gym.
Here’s how we target visceral fat instead:

Most people think: “I have insulin resistance → I need cardio or weights.”
Wrong frame.
Insulin resistance is driven far more by biology than gym time.

Insulin resistance is driven far more by biology than gym time.
The real drivers of insulin resistance:
• Gut dysbiosis
• Poor meal timing
• Unrepaired sleep
• Chronically high cortisol
The gym fixes maybe 15% of this.

1. ICE has STOPPED PAYING for medical treatment for its 73,000 detainees
ICE has not paid its bills to 3rd party providers since OCTOBER and the situation will likely persist for MONTHS, a Popular Information investigation reveals
Meanwhile, critically ill ICE detainees are not receiving care

2. ICE has not paid any third-party providers for medical care for detainees since October 3, 2025. Last week, ICE posted a notice on an obscure government website announcing it will not begin processing such claims until at least April 30, 2026.

3. ICE’s failure to pay its bills for months has caused some medical providers to deny services to ICE detainees, an administration source told Popular Information. In other cases, detainees have allegedly been denied essential medical care by ICE.
Still more new NSP1 muts in the BA.3.2 uploaded from the Netherlands today. We've never seen anything like this kind of rapid evolution in NSP1 (whose primary role is to shut down host-protein translation & degrade host mRNA). All BA.3.2-specific NSP1 muts labeled here. 1/3
I suspect these are compensatory mutations for ∆84-86 and/or ∆141-143. At least one study that found NSP1 deletions from 82-86 to be deleterious, & the lack of 82-86 deletions in nearly all major lineages (despite countless independent acquisitions) supports this. 2/3
And ∆141-143 is definitely deleterious. The phylogenetic evidence for this was already very strong, and two separate studies have confirmed that ∆141-143 reduces viral fitness and NSP1's ability to shut down host translation. 3/3
7 traits of emotionally intelligent people (according to Harvard's leading psychologist)
1. Listening without interrupting.
1. Listening without interrupting.
Emotionally intelligent people listen to understand, not to respond.
Poor listening - cutting people off or rehearsing replies, is what Goleman calls the “common cold” of emotional intelligence.
They resist interrupting & reflect back what they hear.

2. Emotional regulation
They can manage strong emotions without suppressing them.
Anger, stress, and anxiety still arise, but they don’t hijack focus or derail performance.

Brijesh, an NRI, bought a ₹66.95 lakh property in India.
TDS was deducted.
But he didn’t file an ITR, assuming that he had no Indian income.
Soon, he received a notice and the full ₹66.95 lakh was treated as unexplained money.
Here’s how ITAT Ahmedabad saved him. 🧵👇

[1] Who is Brijesh?
Brijesh is an NRI, settled in the US for years.
He bought a residential property in India worth ₹66.95 lakh.
Since he was an NRI, he assumed:
🔸 TDS is deducted
🔸 No income in India
🔸 No need to file an ITR
That assumption triggered the problem.

So instead of just measuring wave strength, they mapped:
• Where signals start
• Where they travel
• Whether patterns repeat
• Whether the brain maintains a stable global structure
Something that had never been done on 5-MeO-DMT in humans before.
