Fertilization is not random, and the fastest sperm does not always win: in reality, the egg decides who succeeds. While for decades we were taught that fertilization is a race won by the fastest sperm, a study published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B shows how human reproduction actually works. Scientists analyzed follicular fluid from 60 couples undergoing fertility treatment at St Mary's Hospital in Manchester, UK. They discovered that the egg releases chemical signals (chemoattractants) that actively attract sperm from certain men over others. Through these chemical signals, the egg exerts its own biological selection, influencing which sperm manage to get close. The egg appears to favor sperm that offer optimal genetic compatibility with its own genome — particularly in genes related to the immune system — which may help produce healthier offspring. Interestingly, this cellular preference does not always align with the couple’s conscious partner choice. In many cases, eggs showed stronger attraction to sperm from non-partner males. This chemical communication demonstrates that female biology continues to evaluate and select options even after intercourse. Understanding this process could lead to more precise solutions for unexplained infertility. Science continues to reveal the remarkable level of biological interaction that occurs during reproduction. [Fitzpatrick, J. L. et al. (2020). Chemical signals from eggs facilitate cryptic female choice in humans. Proceedings of the Royal Society B, 287(1928), 20200805. DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2020.0805]

“Canada has become a soft landing spot for criminals.” That’s the warning from former RCMP intelligence analyst Scott McGregor. He says once bad actors get into Canada, removing them can become incredibly difficult. Delays, appeals, foreign governments refusing cooperation, and a system stretched to its limits all create challenges. Is Canada losing control of who stays and who goes?

Benoit Mandelbrot, the father of fractal geometry: a 10-sigma market crash has odds of roughly 1 in Avogadro's number. by the Gaussian math taught in every business school, it simply can't happen. "It should never happen. It happens every day, somewhere, to somebody." October '87? a 23-sigma day. and 10-sigma moves, he says, are "all over the place." his verdict on the Gaussian risk model taught in every business school: "sheer idiocy." ~70-min lecture, free. the mathematician Taleb calls his master, on why markets break the math ↓

Taleb: "standard deviation is not how much something moves on average." ask anyone - even statisticians, even government agencies - and that's exactly the wrong definition you'll get back. what they're describing is mean absolute deviation. real standard deviation squares the

How Indigenous British Columbians are treated on reserves often has a lot to do with what family they come from. In our upcoming sit-down interview with Tami and Doug August, OneBC leader Dallas Brodie dives into the issue of on-reserve dysfunction and corruption. Full length interview coming soon!

Listen to this. Tucker is a legend. So much madness is because people don’t face their own mortality and inevitable death. A good death is such a blessing and that includes tons of pain. I think about that a lot. I even think the pain helps us in the afterlife and should be embraced even tho it’s definitely going to suck. I love topics like this. They scare the shit out of people but it’s so important. Tucker actually inspires me. That’s valuable. Wanna hear something wild? So many of the women and children of Gaza if not all, had a better death than the typical death of the inevitable death of those who killed them for greed and hubris. The tragedy is great but with a wide enough lens the true tragedy is those who murder and lie. And on some deep level the pain in our hearts we feel when witnessing true tragic horror is for the perpetrators. Eternity is a lot longer than an election cycle. And even monsters were once babies. x.com/jackhneel/stat…

. ALAİN DELON ... . VE ÖTENAZİ ! . Işıklarda uyu gençliğimin prensi. İmkanım olsa bende aynısını uygulardım. Bir Devir Kapandı.. Alain DELON 86 yaşında İsviçre'de ötenazi yaptırarak yaşamına son verdi. O'nunla hayatını geçiren 45 köpeğinin mezarlığında, onlarla birlikte gömülmek istedi. Tum mal varligini sahipsiz kedi ve köpeklere harcanmak üzere miras bıraktı. “Bu dünyayı hiç bir şey hissetmeden terk edeceğim. Hayatın bana sunabileceği bir şey kalmadı, herşeyi gördüm, her şeyi yaşadım. Ama şimdi!.. Yaşadığım çağdan nefret ediyorum. Baktıkça miğdem bulanıyor. Herşey sahte, herşey değiştirildi. Verilen söze saygı yok. Şimdi önemli olan tek şey para ve servet. Şimdi ölsem, dünyadan üzülmeden ayrılmış olacağım.” “Yaşlanmak berbat bir şey. Görünüşümüz değişiyor, görme duyumuzu kaybediyoruz ve bunu değiştirebilmek için hiçbir şey yapamıyoruz. Hastaneler ve iğneler olmadan hayattan sessizce gitme hakkımız var.” Alain DELON. İnsanın ömrü kendi kararı ile sonlanmalıdır, diye düşünüyorum. İşte Alain Delon'a bu izni Fransa yasaları vermedi. Sonra neler yaşadı bilmiyorum fakat çok acı çektiğini basında hep gördük. Ruhu şad Olsun🙏🙏

SAM ALTMAN WATCHING CHATGPT HALLUCINATE LIVE ON STAGE IS THE FUNNIEST THING I'VE SEEN ALL WEEK. THE CEO OF OPENAI, ON STAGE, IN FRONT OF EVERYONE, WATCHING HIS OWN AI JUST MAKE THINGS UP IN REAL TIME. AND HIS FACE SAYS IT ALL. THIS IS THE GUY TELLING US AGI IS COMING SOON BTW.

Concord Pacific and Westbank Corp are Brookfield related in B.C.

I genuinely don't understand why everyone isn't using this yet Andrej Karpathy, a co-founder of OpenAI, posted a simple idea that hit 16 million views: stop using AI to write code, use it to build a second brain. You point Claude Code at a folder, drop in any source, an article, a transcript, a PDF, and Claude reads it, links it, and files it into a living wiki of everything you know. It compounds like interest, the more you feed it, the smarter it gets. Here's the whole thing: > Install Obsidian, create a vault, open it in Claude Code > Paste Karpathy's wiki idea file and tell Claude to build it > Claude makes three folders: raw for sources, wiki for its pages, a CLAUDE.md that runs it > Drop any source into raw and say "ingest this" > Ask questions across everything, forever Five minutes to set up, and you never start from a blank chat again.

When the Phoebus Cartel formed in 1925, it wasn’t just a business alliance, it was one of the earliest global examples of engineered obsolescence. Companies like GE, Philips, Osram, and others secretly agreed to limit how long a lightbulb could last, not because of technical limits, but because longer‑lasting bulbs meant fewer sales. Their internal documents openly described “standardizing” lifespan down to 1,000 hours, even though bulbs had already reached 2,000–2,500 hours in the 1910s. To enforce this artificial limit, the cartel created a penalty system: any manufacturer whose bulbs lasted too long was fined. Engineers were literally instructed to make products worse. This wasn’t a conspiracy theory, it was a documented, coordinated effort across Europe and the U.S., complete with testing labs, compliance reports, and annual reviews to ensure bulbs failed on schedule. It’s one of the clearest historical cases where innovation was deliberately reversed. The cartel collapsed during World War II, but its legacy shaped the modern consumer world. The idea that products should wear out faster, not because they must, but because it’s profitable, became a template for entire industries. The Phoebus Cartel didn’t just dim lightbulbs; it helped spark a century of planned obsolescence, influencing everything from electronics to appliances to the way companies think about profit today.

Somethings might look impossible but you see this right here, it's so real i swear
