Yes, Annie Jacobsen published *Biological War: A Scenario* on July 28, 2026. It centers on a lab accident at Siberia’s Vector Institute releasing engineered pneumonic plague. The real Irkutsk BSL-3 incident (lab tech Shipilova, broken test tube, ~200 quarantined) mirrors key elements of her researched scenario. Striking overlap in timing and details.

Sure would be nice if most of our leaders would stop trying to develop humanity ending bioweapons, under the pitiful guise of "gain of function research." 😅
Most of our leaders clearly hate humanity, with a passion. 🤬

I'm a cardiologist. A handful of mushrooms. Forty-five percent lower cancer risk!!! And almost nobody is eating them.
Penn State went through 17 studies and more than 19,500 cancer cases. The people eating about two-thirds of an ounce a day had a 45% lower risk than the people who ate none.
That is not a supplement. That is mushrooms. Button, cremini, portobello, shiitake. Any of them.
The dose is embarrassing. About 18 grams. A few slices on your eggs. The amount most people push to the side of the plate.
Here is the part that stuck with me. Mushrooms are the richest food we eat for ergothioneine. It is an antioxidant your body cannot make, and almost nothing else in the grocery store supplies it in real amounts. The biggest drop in the data was breast cancer.
This is not a cure. It is not a protocol. It is an association from observational studies, and Penn State still said the signal was strong enough to pay attention to.
So the move is simple. Stop treating mushrooms like a garnish. Put them on the plate every day.
If this was a pill, it would be sold out. It is already in the produce aisle.

Every time your phone tells you where you are, it is using a mathematical model of the shape of the Earth.
A Black woman from rural Virginia spent decades building that model by hand, and almost nobody knew her name until she was in her eighties.
Gladys West. She grew up in a sharecropping family in Dinwiddie County and understood early that the alternatives were the tobacco fields or the factory. She finished top of her high school class, which came with a scholarship, and took it.
Her work was satellite geodesy: taking the raw data coming down from orbit and using it to compute, correction by correction, the true irregular shape of the Earth. Not a sphere. Not even a neat ellipsoid. A lumpy thing with gravitational highs and lows.
That model is the foundation the Global Positioning System sits on. You cannot locate a point on a surface until you know precisely what the surface is.
She did this for decades, largely unremarked, and retired in 1998.
She was recognised in 2018, when her sorority mentioned her biography at a function and someone realised what was in it.
The Air Force inducted her into its Space and Missile Pioneers Hall of Fame. She earned a PhD in her seventies.

Thanks for sharing your expertise, Mark.
The official verdict is absolute Crap!
I'm a Commercial pilot (Complex piston singles) and I have followed this story from the beginning. The official story is pathetic. This will go down in history as one best examples of aviation bravery.
For this story to have the happy ending that it did, 3 things had to happen perfectly:
First, Cpt. Smit who while on the floor (being attacked with an axe!!!) thought "these are my last moments, but I cant let these people die" and somehow opened the cockpit door. Without his bravery and determination, Everybody dies no question.
Second the passengers Yaniv and Yitzhack rushed the cockpit the minute they heard screams. Dont minimize this. Most people in a situation like this would freeze in their seats. Not to mention getting the the front of the plane in a zero G nose over. I'm assuming IDF training (mandatory for all Israelis) but even then excellent reactions under pressure. By rushing to the front immediately, they were on the other side of the door the second that Cpt Smit opened it. The IDF training also probably had a hand in their ability to rapidly neutralize the co-pilot.
Yaniv taking the stick and pulling out of the dive is critical simply because there was no time otherwise. At the rate of decent by that point there is maybe 30s to impact if they keep diving (and they were already past Vne)
However, contrary to popular male ego, a non pilot successfully recovering the plane has odds near zero. Commercial aircraft are huge and have massive momentum. Even in a small plane, if you are too heavy on the controls nothing happens for ten seconds, then next thing you know you are upside down. The most likely outcome after a non-pilot pulling out of a dive would be overcontrolling and triggering a stall. Fortunately (according to Yaniv's interview) the relief pilot took over just as he leveled the plane.
The relief pilots being on board was fortunate, the relief pilot managing to take over the controls before Yaniv could trigger a stall was perfect timing. The pilots were not just random pilots or random airline pilots, they were the relief crew which meant they had hundreds if not thousands of hours in that exact model. Why is this important? Because the co-pilot had smashed the instruments (once again from Yaniv's interview) and the rudder was damaged from exceeding Vne. The relief pilots could handle this as a routine emergency, for a pilot unfamiliar with that airplane and instruments smashed it would be a insurmountable challenge.
Finally the Pilot who thought he was going to die was in luck because on board was a dentist. A dental surgeon no less. Not quite the same an ER doc, but enough to stop major arterial bleeding from multiple wounds.
If somebody doesnt make a great movie out of this it would be a crime. This is aviation history being made.

I had no idea.
Cancer Absolutely Hates Mushrooms.
Pennsylvania State University researchers analyzed mushroom consumption on cancer risk, involving 19,500 patients.
The subjects in the highest-consumption - 2/3 of an ounce of any type of mushrooms daily - had a 45% lower risk of developing cancer.
Mushrooms are a powerful preventative.

Time to ban this atrocity, Iceland.
L'Islande s'apprête à interdire définitivement la chasse à la baleine
Une excellente nouvelle pour la protection des cétacés. Le gouvernement islandais soumettra en février un projet de loi visant à interdire définitivement la chasse à la baleine. S'il est adopté, ce qui semble probable compte tenu de la majorité parlementaire dont dispose le gouvernement, la Norvège et le Japon resteront les deux seuls pays au monde à poursuivre cette pratique commerciale.
Cette décision intervient après des années de mobilisation internationale contre la chasse à la baleine en Islande. Cette année encore, 80 rorquals communs ont été capturés au 9 septembre, sur un quota autorisant la mise à mort de 150 individus. Cette espèce, principale cible de l'industrie baleinière islandaise, est pourtant classée comme vulnérable par l'Union internationale pour la conservation de la nature.
La chasse commerciale à la baleine persiste malgré un moratoire international entré en vigueur en 1986. La Norvège l'a reprise en 1993, l'Islande en 2006, tandis que le Japon s'est retiré de la Commission baleinière internationale en 2019 pour reprendre cette pratique dans ses eaux territoriales.
Cette future interdiction bénéficie d'un soutien politique et public considérable, porté par des raisons éthiques, vétérinaires, juridiques et de conservation convaincantes. La Fondation Brigitte Bardot salue cette avancée majeure et espère qu'elle inspirera rapidement la Norvège et le Japon à suivre cet exemple pour mettre définitivement fin à cette pratique d'un autre âge.

I had no idea 😳
Remember that Sriracha shortage during covid? Apparently the company screwed their only pepper grower of 28 years. After they recorded how he grew the peppers with a drone and handed it off to other growers they terminated their deal and sued him for $1.4 million.
He counter sued and got $23 million. And sriracha has never been the same since. The new guys cant grow the peppers to the same size and ripeness like the old farmer.
