Satellite launches have increased exponentially since 2020, and now space debris is increasing at a similar unbelievable rate, making the hypothetical Keppler Effect (also Kepler Syndrome) a very real possibility in the near future. As this material eventually deorbits and rains down into the planet, it vaporizes into metallic oxides like Aluminum Oxide (Al2O3) and toxic compounds, which poison the air and also degrade Ozone (O3), the delicate oxygen layer in the stratosphere which provides life from harmful UV radiation. Geophysicist Stefan Burns reports on the situation...

Flock cameras just got even worse

In short:

Hundreds gathered in the Indian capital New Delhi as part of the online political movement, Cockroach Janta Party (CJP).

The protesters called for the country's education minister to resign over recent exam paper leaks.

What's next?

CJP's founder has returned to India to lead the first ever protest of the growing online cockroach movement.

The only reason why he was able to share his side of the story was so he could do a plug for facebook meta glasses.

KENTUCKY MAN ACCUSED OF STABBING, DISMEMBERING & MUTILATING UNHOUSED MAN — WANTED TO “HUNT HOMELESS PEOPLE”

THE SUSPECT

Michael Hristov, 21.

THE VICTIM

Michael Howard, an unhoused man. He was stabbed, dismembered, and had satanic symbols carved into his body. His genitals and several toes were removed. He was found nude in a homeless encampment in Louisville, Kentucky.

WHAT HAPPENED

Howard was killed on December 24, 2025. His body was discovered two days later. Hristov is also linked to the nonfatal stabbing of another unhoused man on Christmas Day 2025.

Evidence against Hristov includes surveillance footage, his scooter, a backpack containing the victim’s DNA, a Reddit post made from his IP address about a serial killer, and an iCloud photo of a severed toe.

THE MOTIVE / STATEMENTS

Hristov had expressed a desire to “hunt homeless people,” showed a fascination with serial killers, and idolized mass shooters. He also allegedly tortured animals.

AFTERMATH

Hristov was indicted on May 13, 2026, for murder, abuse of a corpse, and assault. The next day, during a SWAT standoff, he called 911 saying he was armed and wanted officers to shoot him. He was later killed in an officer-involved shooting after refusing to drop his weapon.

The investigation into possible additional victims is ongoing.

We are commiting a genocide and our economy is colapsing. Some men never mature huh? 🤣

They didn’t boo because they hate AI (well, maybe a little bit). They booed because they’re tired of being sold to by the same people who profit from their disruption. Two graduation ceremonies, two tech-adjacent speakers, and two very loud rooms full of students who were done being polite about it.

This episode covers the UCF commencement speech that went viral when a real estate executive told a room full of arts and communications graduates that AI is “the next industrial revolution,” and the University of Arizona ceremony where former Google CEO Eric Schmidt got booed mid-sentence while acknowledging the crowd’s fear out loud. The pattern here matters, this isn’t a one-clip moment, it’s a trust problem playing out in public, and the Pew data backs it up.

In Izmail, Odessa region, a group of men chased off military recruiters, per local sources.

Footage shows a recruitment van making a hasty exit, pursued by men on motorcycles.

Commenters suggest the resistance came from the local Roma community.

Even if an employer doesn't require the new ID, remember the UK government said that all IDs will soon have to be verified digitally. That suggests the employer will send the ID image or data to a government server which will respond with whether the person is allowed to work. So all IDs will essentially be turned into digital IDs and the government can make individuals unemployable if they do something the government doesn't like.
