The candles on your cake might say you’re 40 years old. But if your brain is aging like it’s already 60, that might be the “age” that really matters. https://www.sciencenews.org/article/organ-age-predict-health-lifespan

Potatoes have a secret. Long before becoming fries, they were born as a wild hybrid of an ancient tomato and a tuberless plant. That origin story might help breed climate-proof crops. https://www.sciencenews.org/article/potatoes-roots-ancient-tomatoes-origin

2025 is coming to an end! These are some of our film highlights this year...

Hadrian’s Wall meets Montezuma’s Revenge.

Didulo followers are not as free as they think. Most willingly submit and believe the unbelievable ramblings of the crazy leader. Otherwise they are labeled and ultimately deleted.

This is a good summary of what didulite, Tennyson Park, has brought upon herself and the Cdn court system. From Dr Netolitzky. x.com/i/status/200...

2/ Culties are reminding others that Didulo doesn’t want you to celebrate anything unless it’s her.

Didulo likes to further separate her cult members from their families by having her events conflict with major holidays. Didulo is a cult leader and a grifter. She’s also a weirdo who is criminally charged. She’s about to go through some discomfort.

Didulo can't stand that her followers might want to spend time with their families and not worshipping her. Isolating and alienating them is a trademark cult leader tool.

Remembering astronomer Carl Sagan. (November 9, 1934 - December 20, 1996) "We are all starstuff"

Sacagawea played an indispensable role as interpreter, guide & diplomat for the Lewis & Clark Expedition (1804–1806). A teenage Lemhi Shoshone mother (w/her son her back), she helped navigate 1000s of miles from N. Dakota to the Pacific Ocean & back. #NativeAmerican #history She died #OTD in 1812.

Since his appointment, RFK Jr. has pursued a brutal vision of American health that several experts liken to a sort of eugenics. Kennedy has made it clear that certain deaths are acceptable or even preferable to a world where every child is vaccinated. Read more: www.theverge.com/health/66136...

This isn’t good news. Turning microplastics into nanoplastics likely accelerates its entry into food webs and tissues. Adaptation ≠ remediation. news.exeter.ac.uk/faculty-of-h...

The fossil record preserves bones, not biodiversity. But extinction happens at the scale of bacteria, fungi, mosses, microfauna, parasites, soil invertebrates. Entire kingdoms of life disappear without leaving a mark.

Close up photo of lichen, Rhizoplaca subdisrepens. This one is chock full of apothecia (makes for tons of little cartoon faces:). Photo covers an area of approx. 4cm x 3cm. The full lichen is in the comments. #lichen #fungi #fungifriends

🚨🚨 Breaking 🚨🚨 Narcissistic Weirdo 🤡 who is criminally charged and has no real power is wasting her time writing another useless nonsensical decree to pretend that a democratically elected government would listen to her. 😂 Delusional Didulo needs to work on her defense in her upcoming trial!

Seems upset but accurate.

Need something to feel good about? I sure do. Here are 7 fantastic science stores from 2025. Science will continue, even if The Regime tries to kill it at home. #Science 🧪

First woman to receive an academic PhD? Elena Cornaro Piscopia, doctorate in #Philosophy, University of Padua (Italy) on 25 June 1678. She originally applied for a doctorate in Theology. Church authorities refused as women were not permitted to teach or preach #theology. #education #highered

It seems to be true. This person's post was deleted by admin. They hate to be exposed for their hateful milkshake discourse.

The cult is all excited about the supposed 1000th episode of their fake news. This is the news where they troll through msm to find something happening in the real world that they can remotely connect to something didulo said in the past 4-5 years that she had nothing to do with.

Thousands of U.S. farmers have Parkinson’s, and they blame a deadly pesticide that's banned in 70 countries — but not in America. Paraquat, a weed killer, is the subject of thousands of lawsuits claiming it’s linked to Parkinson’s disease. www.mlive.com/news/2025/12...

Booboo. The person who incites followers to execute people and/or threatens them is now playing the victim. So many have lost everything and some have lost their lives by following her deranged pronouncements.

Didulo doesn’t know what she’s doing; it will only get worse! “That appearance didn't happen today as Didulo's application to the court was not adequate in order to proceed with the hearing. She was contacted by the court and told not to make the trip to Swift Current from Regina.” 🤡Didulo🤡

Why do I wear an N95 mask? Bc Covid will happily destroy your immune system, more each time you get it. It can give you a whole new syndrome and/or awaken & worsen dormant viruses+syndromes. You do not want a mystery disease like my loved one has now. Our system does not know what to do with you.

Two of the largest clinical trials of their kind have doused hopes that a diabetes and weight loss “wonder drug” might also work its magic on Alzheimer’s. https://www.sciencenews.org/article/glp-1-drugs-failed-slow-alzheimers

Human activities can trigger sudden shakes even in seismically silent regions — by forcing stable, “healing” faults to release all their built-up strength. https://www.sciencenews.org/article/human-caused-earthquakes-stable-regions
