Who would have thought that letting a ketamine addicted, mentally unstable, billionaire with the mind of a teenager fire hundreds of thousands of government employees without doing a single audit or even taking the slightest bit of time to inquire into what these people actually do, was a bad idea. Oh that’s right, literally everyone on the planet except Donald Trump and his incompetent regime!

Humans get two sets of teeth in a lifetime: baby teeth, then adult teeth. Lose an adult tooth and it's gone forever. But a team in Japan believes we may be carrying the seeds of a third set, and in 2024 they began testing a drug in humans to wake them up. 🦷 The story starts with a gene called USAG-1. Researchers led by Dr. Katsu Takahashi found that this gene acts like a brake on tooth development. When they blocked it with an antibody in mice and ferrets, the animals grew new, fully formed teeth. Ferrets matter here because, like humans, they have both baby and adult teeth. In September 2024, Kyoto University Hospital and the startup Toregem Biopharma began the first human safety trial. About 30 healthy adult men who were missing at least one molar received the antibody through an IV. This first phase is mainly about checking safety, not yet about proving teeth will grow. The main target is children born with congenital anodontia, a rare condition where several teeth never develop. If the trials succeed, the team has said they hope the treatment could become available around 2030. It's early, and many promising drugs fail in later trials. But for the first time, regrowing a human tooth is being tested in real people instead of only in labs.

$30 an hour sounds pretty good… until you try living on $30 an hour in Canada. If you work 40 hours a week, that’s $62,400 a year, or about $5,200 a month BEFORE taxes. Depending on which province you live in, after federal and provincial income taxes, CPP, and EI deductions, you might actually bring home somewhere around $3,800–$4,050 a month. Now let’s spend it. Rent: $1,850 Car payment: $550 Car insurance: $200 Gas: $220 Groceries: $600 Utilities & hydro: $220 Cell phone: $80 Internet: $85 Dental, prescriptions & out-of-pocket medical: $125 Toiletries & household stuff: $150 That’s $4,080 a month. And I didn’t exactly go crazy with those numbers. There’s no $1,000 luxury SUV payment. No downtown high-rise condo. No organic health-food grocery budget. No $200 cable package. No steakhouse dinners every Friday night. It’s just… life. And look at everything that ISN’T included in that $4,080. No OSAP or student loans. No credit card payments. No childcare. No RRSP or TFSA contributions. No emergency fund. No new winter boots or clothes. No gym membership. No streaming services. No vacations. No restaurants. No Christmas presents. No birthday gifts. No vet bills. No oil changes, winter tires, or car repairs. Hell, I didn’t even give this person a haircut. One $900 car repair or a single root canal can put the entire month on a credit card. Add a kid and the math gets even uglier. Even with $10-a-day daycare—if you can actually get off a waitlist to find a spot—$30 an hour starts feeling almost impossible on one income. That’s what gets lost when we talk about wages. Someone hears “$30 an hour” and thinks that person is doing pretty well. Someone actually MAKING $30 an hour is looking at their chequing account wondering where the hell all their money went. $62,400 a year isn’t nothing. But in Canada in 2026, it sure as hell doesn’t buy what most people think it does.
BREAKING🚨 The federal government cleared a Wisconsin state trooper to work in this country until 2030. ICE just shackled him and is moving to deport him to South Africa. Carel Aaron Van Der Merwe, 21, was waiting to board a domestic flight at Dane County Regional Airport in Madison on Thursday when ICE agents walked up to him. He told them he had a federal work permit and a pending asylum application. According to Van Der Merwe, the officers said they "did not care," then put him in handcuffs and shackles and took him to immigration detention in Dodge County. He's still there. ICE's own detainee locator lists him at the Dodge Detention Facility. Van Der Merwe came to the U.S. legally from South Africa as a child. His family applied for asylum and has waited seven years for an interview. He's included on his father's pending asylum application, and his federal work authorization runs through 2030. He wanted to serve in the military, but his pending immigration status kept him out, so he went into law enforcement. He earned a criminal justice degree from New Mexico Military Institute and became a Wisconsin state trooper about a year ago. He lives in Onalaska and works out of the Tomah post. State Patrol hiring rules allow noncitizens with valid work authorization to serve as troopers. DHS calls him an "illegal alien." The agency says his permission to stay ran out in September 2019 and that a work permit or pending application does not give him legal status. A DHS spokesperson also attacked what they called the "horrendous Biden-era policy" that let immigrants fly within the country. The spokesperson said the administration wants people it considers illegal to be unable to fly "unless it is out of our country to self-deport." His attorney, Marc Christopher, is seeking his release on bond, which is expected to take about two weeks. "ICE says it is going after people who break the law. Here, it has detained someone whose job is to uphold it," Christopher said. "Now the same government that authorized him to work has locked him up." Christopher is calling on Wisconsin's congressional delegation to demand Van Der Merwe's release.
In September 2019, an expectant two-year-old pit bull named Mama Pickles was found wandering the streets in North Carolina. When animal control contacted her owners, they decided not to take her back, leaving the heavily pregnant pup at risk in an overcrowded shelter. 🐾 Fortunately, Pits & Giggles Rescue, a dedicated nonprofit specializing in caring for pregnant and nursing dogs, took her in immediately. Volunteer photographer Lauren Casteen Sykes decided Mama Pickles deserved to be celebrated, dressing her in a flower crown for a sunset maternity shoot where she proudly showed off her giant belly. Just days later, Pickles safely gave birth to eight healthy baby girls. Sykes returned for a newborn session with the proud mom smiling beside her basket of sleeping pups, and every single one,including Mama Pickles herself, was spayed and placed into a loving forever family. 🌸 Would you ever arrange a photoshoot like this to help a rescue pet find a home?

A Princeton Ph.D. whose research caught the eye of the 2024 Nobel Prize Committee cannot get hired. Dr. Jack Weis, 30, graduated summa cum laude from Rice University before earning his doctorate from one of the most prestigious universities in the world, and it has not mattered. Over nearly two years, he sent out more than 2,300 applications across scientific research, software engineering, and even entry-level food service roles. The result: rejections and silence. He is back living with his parents in Salt Lake City. There was a brief window where things looked up. He landed a contract training AI models at $70 an hour, but it wrapped up in March 2026 and left him job-hunting all over again. Now he is registered for the LSAT, weighing a pivot into law, and also eyeing entrepreneurship as a way out. His story has cracked open a wider conversation about a U.S. job market that is quietly bruising even the most credentialed applicants, where elite degrees and Nobel-adjacent research apparently cannot guarantee so much as a callback.
Sex work is everywhere. It’s time we started recognizing, understanding, & protecting it.
Sex work is everywhere. It’s time we started recognizing, understanding, & protecting it.: Sex workers and workers in sex-related fields are serving one of our most basic human needs. But our government doesn't seem to value them much.
🚨Randon Lee Carroll, 41, pastor of Reedy Assembly of God in Holmes County, Florida, and registered Republican, was sentenced Tuesday to life without parole for s*xually battering a teenage boy at his home. A parent found s*xual messages allegedly sent by Carroll on their child’s phone. After the victim’s forensic interview, deputies questioned Carroll, who admitted the acts, saying, “I have a problem. I shouldn’t have done it.” He pleaded no contest to s*xual battery of a victim over 12 but under 18 under his custodial authority and to s*xual performance by a child for videotaping some acts. Judge Russell Roberts added 15 years on the second count. NBC News’ “Pastors and Prey” investigation found a 50-year pattern of abuse, silence and cover-up in the Assemblies of God. It identified about 200 ministers, employees and volunteers accused of abusing more than 475 people, mostly children. The Assemblies of God doesn’t require U.S. churches to adopt strict child-safety rules. In December 2025, U.S. Marshals arrested Joseph Lyle Campbell, a former Tulsa Assemblies of God children’s ministry leader accused of r*ping and m*lesting underage girls since the 1970s. Ex-AG pastor James Vincent Henry got 110 years after pleading guilty to 11 counts of child s*xual abuse material. This is the same denomination that officially condemns LGBTQ people, declaring homosexuality a sin under “divine judgment.” They spend enormous energy targeting the LGBTQ community — while their own leaders keep showing up in arrest reports for crimes against children. The GOP calls itself the party of “family values.” The receipts keep telling a different story
A MESSAGE TO THE BILLIONAIRES BUILDING BUNKERS FOR THE END OF THE WORLD. There's something absolutely fucking hilarious about some of the wealthiest people on the planet spending millions building underground fortresses in preparation for the collapse of civilisation. You've accumulated more money than you could possibly spend in a thousand lifetimes. You've bought your private islands, your yachts, your aircraft, your enormous mansions with seventeen bathrooms, and now you're digging holes in the ground because you're frightened the world might eventually go to shit. And I've got a question. What exactly do you think being a billionaire is going to mean when there's no civilisation left to be a billionaire in? Seriously. Have you thought this through? Your bank accounts are worthless. Your shares are worthless. Your property empire is a collection of abandoned buildings. Nobody gives a shit what company you used to own, how many people you employed or whether your name appeared on the front of a skyscraper. You're now living underneath several feet of reinforced concrete with a handful of people who know how to grow food, repair electrical equipment, maintain water filtration systems and keep the oxygen circulating. And you're the bloke who used to own half of Silicon Valley. Congratulations. You've somehow managed to become the least useful person in your own apocalypse. But I suppose you'll still expect to be in charge, won't you? You'll have your luxury bedroom, your private bathroom, probably a wine cellar and some poor bastard whose job it is to make sure your pillows are comfortable while the rest of humanity is apparently burning to death upstairs. Meanwhile, the electrician is trying to stop the lights going out, the mechanic is keeping the generators running and somebody else is making sure you don't die of dehydration. And what happens when one of them decides they've had enough of your bullshit? Are you going to sack them? Threaten to stop their wages? Tell the farmer his quarterly performance review has been disappointing? Perhaps you'll call everybody into a meeting and announce that due to difficult trading conditions, there won't be any Christmas bonuses this year. You're three broken water pumps away from discovering just how fucking irrelevant your fortune has become. Because here's something money has allowed you to forget. You might own the building, but you don't necessarily know how to build one. You might own a thousand restaurants, but that doesn't mean you know how to grow a potato. You might own an energy company, but when the generator breaks down, it's the bloke with the toolbox who's going to keep you alive. And suddenly, the people you've spent decades describing as labour costs, overheads and replaceable workers are the most valuable human beings in your entire little underground kingdom. That's quite a change in circumstances, isn't it? Imagine spending forty years telling people there's a thousand others waiting to take their jobs, only to discover there's one electrician left on the planet and he's decided he's having Tuesday afternoons off. What are you going to do? Write him a strongly worded email? There's no internet, you daft bastard. But what fascinates me most is the mentality behind all this. Some of you apparently believe civilisation could become so unstable that the only sensible option is to disappear underground behind enormous security doors. And yet, with all your extraordinary wealth and influence, your answer isn't to help build a world where people have decent homes, affordable food, reliable healthcare and some reasonable hope for the future. It's to build yourself a better basement. You've got enough money to change the lives of entire communities, but you're preparing for a future where those communities might no longer exist. And even then, you can't resist recreating the same ridiculous hierarchy. One man gets the enormous luxury suite. Everybody else gets to keep him alive. You've managed to reproduce the class system in a concrete box with no windows. What an achievement. I can just imagine the first residents' meeting. The billionaire sitting at the head of the table explaining that everybody needs to pull together during these difficult times, while he's got a private swimming pool and the bloke responsible for keeping the sewage system operational is sleeping next to a bag of potatoes. And I wonder how long that arrangement would last. Because once the doors are sealed, the satellites stop working and there's no longer a functioning financial system, what exactly gives you authority over everybody else? Your wealth? Your reputation? The fact that you once appeared on the cover of Forbes? Try telling the only person who understands the ventilation system that he's replaceable. See how that conversation goes. And here's the really uncomfortable question. If you've spent your entire life accumulating enough wealth to insulate yourself from the problems ordinary people face, why should those same ordinary people be expected to spend the end of the world protecting you from the consequences? Because when everything else disappears, money stops being the thing that determines your value. Knowledge matters. Practical skills matter. Cooperation matters. Trust matters. And perhaps most importantly, how you've treated the people around you suddenly matters an awful lot. You can buy the bunker. You can buy the equipment. You can even pay people to agree to live down there with you. But you cannot buy a functioning civilisation and stick it in a cupboard for when you need it. Civilisation is people. The very people you've spent years trying to employ for as little as possible while convincing them they should be grateful for the opportunity. And that's the extraordinary irony of the whole thing. You've spent your life trying to become so wealthy that you never have to depend on anybody. Now you're preparing for a catastrophe in which your survival will depend entirely on everybody else. Perhaps instead of spending millions preparing to escape the world, you could spend a little more effort making it somewhere people don't feel desperate to escape from. Because if the apocalypse ever does arrive, nobody's going to care how much money you had. They'll care whether you can do something useful. And for the first time in your life, you might have to prove you're worth keeping around. And if you agree, give this a share. You never know, it might reach one of these billionaires while they're sitting in their twenty-million-pound underground fortress, wondering whether they've remembered to employ a fucking plumber.
BREAKING: BOMBED FISHERMEN FIGHT BACK! Sixteen Ecuadorian fishermen are hittingTrump's military with a MASSIVE LAWSUIT accusing U.S. forces of blowing up their boat, severely burning two crew members, and shipping the survivors to El Salvador to be TORTURED! Sixteen fishermen who set out to earn an honest living at sea say they ended up in a nightmare straight out of a military dictatorship – and now they're taking Trump's government to court! In a shocking Guardian investigation, the fishermen allege that two American drones struck their fishing vessel on March 17, setting it ablaze and leaving two crew members with severe burns to their arms, legs, and backs. The men scrambled into smaller boats to escape the flames. But their ordeal was only beginning. According to the lawsuit, American military personnel intercepted the survivors, bound their wrists with zip ties, pulled plastic hoods over their heads, and transported them to El Salvador. They were detained for a week and tortured. The ordeal was documented months ago by the Spanish newspaper El País, which interviewed survivors of the attack (photo). The fishermen admit doing nothing more sinister than fishing. Their vessel had been recently inspected by Ecuadorian authorities, who found no drugs or evidence of any cartel involvement. “They go out fishing, they don't come home for a month,” their attorney, Dan Kovalik, said, describing how the men wound up in a Salvadoran detention center instead. The allegations strike at the heart of Trump's deadly campaign against suspected drug-smuggling boats in the Caribbean and Pacific, which has killed nearly 250 people earlier this year then fell off the national radar. If their account is true, the implications are horrifying: American forces bombed innocent fishermen, hooded the survivors, and hauled them off to a foreign prison to be tortured. Behaving like gangsters in a mob movie, except under the authority of the United States government. The men are seeking compensation for their injuries and suffering. Their case could also inspire new scrutiny of the whole drug boat campaign where the Navy picked off random runabouts like kids playing video games. They never presented any evidence against the unfortunate people on board. Ironically, the American people paid for the bombs that destroyed the boat, and now we’ll get another huge bill to pay the damages.
