Oklahoma Advances Bill To Turn Dead Humans Into Actual Fertilizer
The Daily Caller | March 25, 2026 | Anthony Lafrate

The Oklahoma State House on Tuesday passed a bipartisan bill that would make it legal to use the decomposed and ground-up remains of human corpses as soil fertilizer in the state.

“Grandma Got Run Under By a John Deere . . . “

The legislation, HB 3660, seeks to include so-called “natural organic reduction” (NOR), a common euphemism for human composting, “as a form of cremation” under state law. Oklahoma’s lower chamber passed the bill 59-37, with both Republicans and Democrats voting in favor, prompting a harsh rebuke from one of the GOP lawmakers who opposes the legislation.

“… If this bill is put into law, Oklahoma joins 14 BLUE states that have legalized this process,” Republican Oklahoma State Rep. Jim Shaw wrote in a Tuesday X post. “So, instead of outlawing this type of practice outright, we’re on track to take the use of humanure as fertilizer another disgusting step forward.”

The 14 states that have legalized NOR include Arizona, California, Colorado, Delaware, Georgia, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Vermont and Washington state.

Aerating is humus;

To dig without dignity

Surely will doom us.

Meta, YouTube found liable for woman’s debilitating social media addiction in $3M landmark trial
NY Post | 3/25/26 | Daniel Farr, Jules Corderoy

Jules Corderoy? You should see my corduroy jewels.

A Los Angeles jury found Wednesday that Meta’s Instagram and Google’s YouTube harmed a young user … a 20-year-old woman who claimed she became dangerously obsessed with the apps at a young age because they were deliberately built to be addictive …

Snap and TikTok were also defendants ​in the first-of-its-kind trial; however, both settled with the plaintiff before it began.

… she started using social media apps at just 6 years old, and her addiction fueled depression, anxiety and severe mental health struggles, including body dysmorphia and thoughts of self-harm.

Well, yeah, especially after stumbling across IMAO.

Per SciTech Daily, “Scientists Discover Surprising Quantum Properties in Seemingly Ordinary Element,” 2/16/26:

For decades, cobalt has served as a benchmark ferromagnet. Its crystal structure and magnetic properties have been extensively documented. However, the new findings show that cobalt hosts a rich topological electronic structure that remains stable under everyday conditions, pointing to an unexpected layer of quantum behavior.

…

A defining characteristic of cobalt’s nodal lines is that they are inherently spin-polarized. Because ferromagnetism breaks time-reversal symmetry, . . .

What?

the electronic states forming these lines carry a net spin orientation. By reversing the material’s magnetization direction, researchers can fully flip this spin polarization.

“In certain directions inside the crystal, the nodal lines intersect and cross the Fermi energy where electrons can move freely,” explains Sánchez-Barriga. “Near these crossings, electrons in the material behave like massless, relativistic-like particles, similar to how light behaves, and can travel extremely fast. This is an exceptional behaviour that has never been observed in any elemental ferromagnet before. Moreover, by changing the direction of the magnetic field, it is possible either to open a gap at the crossing or to fully control the spin texture of the nodal lines while retaining the unique properties of the gapless state. This is exactly the kind of switch-on-off functionality sought for practical applications.”

Well, electrons’ spin is linked to their magnetism, electrons can behave like photons, ferromagnetism breaks time-reversal symmetry, and I-Don’t-Know is on third.

News I can’t use.

What happens to the humidity in a closed room, if you allow a bucket of water to evaporate?

And what happens to the bucket under a dehumidifier if you never empty it?

Eureka!

Scientists Find Clue to High-Temperature Superconductivity in Quantum Materials
Gadgets360 | January 20, 2026

Scientists have recently discovered the underlying hidden magnetic order in the pseudogap phase of a quantum material. The peculiar phase exists immediately above the superconducting transition. The research team employed an ultracold-atom simulator. They were able to detect a hidden antiferromagnetic order even when the material lacked electrons.

This is referred to as doping.

Oh. Which I thought was quite different.

These discoveries are reminiscent of strange occurrences found in ‘spin ice’ magnets. The basic structural units of spin ice crystals are frustrated tetrahedrons of magnetic atoms that do not form a traditional order.

My plan for a government grant: spin some ice made of ultracold atoms into a pseudogap. That should frustrate the hell out of tetrahedrons who were expecting a real gap.

As Polar Bear Population Explodes, Animal Loses its Climate Crisis Mascot Status
Legal Insurrection | September 17, 2024 | Leslie Eastman

… in 2019, I covered a book entitled “The Polar Bear Catastrophe That Never Happened” by Dr. Susan Crockford. The University of Victoria professor analyzes the latest data and reviews the questionable values in official estimates, concluding that polar bears are thriving.

Subsequently, she was fired from her position at the university.

However, it didn’t stop what she wrote from being true.

The polar bear, the iconic image of the climate crisis, has entirely lost its eco-activist mascot status. Climate expert Bjorn Lomborg (President of the Copenhagen Consensus and Visiting Fellow at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution) recently examined the numbers in a New York Post piece and came to the same conclusion.

Protesters dressed as polar bears, while Al Gore’s hit 2006 film “An Inconvenient Truth” showed us a sad, animated polar bear floating away to its death.

The Washington Post warned that polar bears faced extinction, and the World Wildlife Fund’s chief scientist even claimed some polar bear populations would be unable to reproduce by 2012.

And then in the 2010s, campaigners just stopped talking about polar bears.

Why? Because after years of misrepresentation, it finally became impossible for them to ignore a mountain of evidence showing that the global polar bear population has increased substantially from around 12,000 in the 1960s to around 26,000 in the present day. (The main reason? People are hunting a lot less [fewer] polar bears).

…

This is not to say people don’t go hunting for polar bears. They do. It’s just that they do it with cell phone cameras for Instagram posts while they take “polar bear safaris.”

Canada boasts around 16,000 polar bears, approximately 60% of the world’s total population. With as many bears as taxpayers, Churchill, Manitoba (pop. 900), bills itself as the “polar bear capital of the world.”

“And we don’t pay taxes.”

Polar bears are rewiring their own genetics to survive a warming climate
NBC News | December 12, 2025 | Elmira Aliieva

With climate change steadily dismantling the icy habitat essential to their existence, new research suggests polar bears are rapidly rewiring their own genetics in a bid to survive.

How? How are they doing this? Will it work?

The species is being forced to adapt to the harsher reality of a warming Arctic, in what scientists believe is the first documented case of rising temperatures driving genetic change in a mammal.

How? How are they doing this? Will it work?

Researchers from the University of East Anglia in Britain say these findings, published Friday in the journal Mobile DNA, offer a rare glimmer of hope for the species.

“Mobile DNA“? How are they doing this? Will it work?

“Polar bears are still sadly expected to go extinct this century, with two-thirds of the population gone by 2050,” Alice Godden, who is the lead author of the study, told NBC News.

Shall we check with her (or him) 25 years from now? Will he or she still be accountable for the accuracy of this prediction?

Will the journal?

Will NBC News?

“I believe our work really does offer a glimmer of hope — a window of opportunity for us to reduce our carbon emissions . . .

She or he should start keeping a journal now recording how she or he does this over the next 25 years.

. . . to slow down the rate of climate change and to give these bears more time to adapt to these stark changes in their habitats.”

Both Climate Change and Evolution measurably act on the time span of 25 years? How do they do this? Will it work?

The study “does not mean that polar bears are at any less risk of extinction,” Godden said,

— Godden forbid —

though the discovery may “provide a genetic blueprint for how polar bears might be able to adapt quickly to climate change.”

Godden added: “We all must do more to mitigate our carbon emissions to help provide and extend this window of opportunity to help save this wonderful vital species.”

How? How do scientists and reporters get away with this? Will it work?

A Smart New Spin on Vinegar Could Help Stop Superbugs
Food and Wine | November 21, 2025 | Stacey Leasca

By blending vinegar’s active ingredient with cutting-edge nanoparticles, scientists created a solution that wiped out nearly all MRSA bacteria in lab tests—without damaging healthy cells.

-Scientists in Norway and Australia have developed a “nano-boosted” vinegar solution that enhances acetic acid’s antibacterial properties using cobalt-doped carbon quantum dots.

-In mouse studies, a single topical dose of the solution eliminated 99.995% of MRSA bacteria within 24 hours and completely cleared infections within a week.

-The research could lead to new non-toxic treatments for wound infections and is a promising step in fighting antimicrobial resistance, which causes millions of deaths annually.

Vinegar is undoubtedly one of the most versatile tools in both the kitchen and the rest of your home. Not only can you use it in dressings, marinades, and more, but it’s also an excellent cleaning agent, helping to keep everything from your countertops to showerheads sparkling. And now, thanks to a few very smart scientists, it might be used to help heal wounds.

Scientists Are Using Earth’s Shadow to Hunt For Alien Probes
sciencealert.com | 25 August 2025 | Mark Thompson, Universe Today

Hiding behind Mommy’s skirts.

… they turned to the Earth’s shadow. Every night, Earth casts a cone-shaped shadow into space where direct sunlight cannot reflect off satellites or debris.

This creates an ideal ‘clean’ search zone. The shadow’s base spans roughly 8-9 degrees for objects at geosynchronous orbit, about 35,700 kilometers (22,200 miles) above Earth.

Oh. Never mind. Well, watch it, scientists.

From Wikipedia:

… it turns out that in addition to the black hole interior region that particles enter when they fall through the event horizon from the outside, there must be a separate white hole interior region, which allows us to extrapolate the trajectories of particles that an outside observer sees rising up away from the event horizon. For an observer outside using Schwarzschild coordinates, infalling particles take an infinite time to reach the black hole horizon infinitely far in the future, while outgoing particles that pass the observer have been traveling outward for an infinite time since crossing the white hole horizon infinitely far in the past (however, the particles or other objects experience only a finite proper time between crossing the horizon and passing the outside observer).
