Plastic Nanoparticles Are Inside Vegetables.

WHAT HAPPENED: Scientists have found plastic nanoparticles in the edible parts of vegetables for the first time, raising concerns about the implications for the food chain.

Scientists at the University of Plymouth, England, have discovered plastic nanoparticles inside the edible parts of vegetables, raising new concerns about how deeply plastic pollution has infiltrated the food chain. Researchers found that nanoplastics, some as small as one millionth of a centimetre, can bypass natural root barriers in plants and accumulate in both roots and leaves.

The study involved growing radishes hydroponically in water containing polystyrene nanoparticles. To track the particles, scientists used radiolabelled carbon. Within five days, nearly five percent of the nanoparticles had entered the root system. Of those, around 25 percent remained in the radish root itself, while approximately ten percent entered into the leaves.

Dr. Nathaniel Clark, the study’s lead author, said the findings are unprecedented. “This is the first time a study has demonstrated nanoplastic particles could get beyond that barrier, with the potential for them to accumulate within plants and be passed onto anything that consumes them,” he said. Clark noted that radishes were used as a model, but other crops could likely absorb plastic in similar ways.

Richard Thompson, head of the university’s International Marine Litter Research Unit, said the findings build on earlier research that found microplastics in seafood, salt, and bottled water. “This study provides clear evidence that particles in the environment can accumulate not only in seafood but also in vegetables,” he said.

The study comes as other research has revealed alarming signs of plastic exposure in humans. A 2025 report from researchers in New Mexico detected microplastics in human brain tissue, particularly in the frontal cortex. The particles were small enough to cross the blood-brain barrier, though the health effects remain unknown.

Separately, a 2024 investigation found that people may be consuming more than 1,000 microplastic particles each year through ordinary table salt. All 21 salt brands examined were found to contain various forms of plastic contamination, including fragments, fibers, and pellets.

Another study linked microplastic exposure to increased spread of cancer cells in lab experiments.

Flying Monkeys? Woolly Mammoths? or Manbearpigs?

If mad scientists are going to give us woolly mammoths or half chicken-half human creatures, then I want my flying monkeys. 

In a historic building in Deep Ellum, a colossal effort is underway to bring some of the most famously extinct animals back to life.

The wild mission comes from a Dallas-based company called Colossal Biosciences which is working to de-extinct the woolly mammoth, lost 4,000 years ago.

Matt James is Colossal's chief animal officer.

“We are creating technology that's going to change tomorrow with de-extinction but what's amazing is that those technologies are making a difference to endangered species conservation today,” said James.

Using DNA from Asian elephants and DNA recovered from woolly mammoths frozen in the arctic tundra, researchers at Colossal Biosciences are using gene editing technology to reengineer the genome of an Asian elephant until it reflects that of a woolly mammoth.

“As it turns out the woolly mammoth and Asian elephant are 99.6% gnomically similar,” said James.

Its the End of the World as we know it

Economic Collapse

Just in time for WWIII

(Natural News)  Right now, the situation with the markets and the financial system at large might be described comparatively as a terminally ill patient barely breathing on a life support machine while attending doctors tell the family that everything looks on the up and up. In other words, the situation is really ugly behind closed doors – but those doors are about to be swung wide open for the world to both see and experience.

Take the ongoing "bond bloodbath," as Wolf Richter calls it. Delusions about the Federal Reserve's fight with inflation are finally giving way as reality sets in that inflation is not going away. It is not transitory like notorious liar Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen kept saying, and there does not really appear to be any way to stop it.

Its the End of the World

 

As the Fed continues to tighten the system into a steep recession, there will be another dramatic plunge in the markets to correct what Haggith describes as the "everything bubble" – meaning everything is way overvalued to the point that it has to pop at some point.

"That will plunge us rapidly into recession in an all-out panic because people who have been investing based on such enormous delusions panic when they finally realize that, like Wile E. Coyote, they've run out past the edge of a mighty high cliff," he explains.

"The crash of the Big Bond Bubble was inevitable because of the Fed's QT (quantitative tightening) and the Fed's raising of interest rates and the government's massive addiction to endless and enormous deficits, requiring massive new bond issuances."

Navy Is Training Sailors on Proper Gender Pronouns

The Military will prance 

off to World War III

(Free Beacon)  The Navy is training its members to create a "safe space" by using proper gender pronouns in a new instructional video modeled after a children's show.

"Hi! My name is Jony, and I use he/him pronouns," Naval Undersea Warfare Center engineer Jony Rozon, who sports a rainbow-colored t-shirt, states in the video's opening.

The official training video is meant to emphasize "the importance of using correct pronouns as well as polite etiquette when you may not be sure of someone's pronouns," according to the Navy, which late last month published the video online. 

The Defense Visual Information Distribution Service touts the video as an "official U.S. Navy video" posted by Air Force staff sergeant John Vannucci.

The nearly four-minute Navy video emphasizes how members can create "a safe space" for their colleagues by using "inclusive language" that signals they are "allies" who "accept everybody." Service members must take these steps to ensure they do not "misgender someone."

Inflation at 9.7% in producer index

 

(Washington Examiner)  Producer prices increased a staggering 9.7% for the year ending in January, according to a report on producer costs by the Bureau of Labor Statistics — meaning inflation hovered near the highest pace on record.

The high numbers in Tuesday’s producer price index report eclipsed predictions by forecasters and are near the highest in the gauge's 11-year history after the PPI rose by 9.8% in December.

The news came just days after a report for the month of January found consumer prices increased by 7.5% — the fastest annual rate in four decades. The inflationary pressures are adding to President Joe Biden’s mounting political concerns heading into the midterm elections.

Tuesday’s report will put fire to the feet of Federal Reserve officials who are planning to hike interest rates for the first time in years as early as next month in a scramble to contain inflation.

Commie Anal Swabs Are Back - Bend Over

Insert The Commie Swab Deep

For Best Results

(Sun)  CHINA has brought back its "undignified" anal Covid swabs just two weeks before the Beijing Winter Olympics begin.

The Communist regime claims the virus test — which involves inserting a 5cm long saline-soaked swab up a patient's bum and rotating it — is more accurate than other on-the-spot virus tests.

Chinese newspaper The Beijing News said at least 27 people underwent the anal swab tests at an apartment building in Beijing where a 26-year-old woman had caught Omicron — the city's first recorded case of the variant.

The invasive anal tests involve inserting a sterile cotton swab into the rectum and rotating it several times. 

The swab is removed and analysed in a lab.

Communists Make Anal Swabs Mandatory

 

Insert The Commie Swab Deep

For Best Results

(Summit News)  -  China has made COVID-19 anal swab tests mandatory for nearly all international arrivals despite complaints that the procedure is humiliating.

The tests will be required for all travelers arriving at Beijing and Shanghai airports before they are allowed to enter the country.

Despite the degrading nature of the procedure, Chinese health authorities claim it is more effective at identifying COVID-19 than nasal swabs.

“The same procedure applies to visitors who came from countries where COVID-19 cases are high or they tested positive upon arrival,” reports IB Times. “If a person shows symptoms of diarrhea, he or she must also get an anal swab.”

An alternative may be offered where travelers can provide stool samples instead, a procedure that is almost as humiliating anyway.

“If people are not familiar with the procedure for taking an anal swab test, our employees will help explain how it will be done,” a representative for the epidemic control department in the Daxing district of Beijing said.

As we highlighted earlier this week, Tokyo has asked Beijing to stop performing COVID-19 anal swabs on its citizens after complaints that the procedure causes “psychological pain.”

Reports also emerged that U.S. diplomatic staff had been forced to undergo this procedure, although China initially denied this then claimed it was an “error”.

Transgender Couple "Transitions" their 5 year old

This is simply child abuse

(Summit News)  -  Britain’s first transgender couple have stoked controversy by revealing that they will allow their 5-year-old child to also begin gender transition.

Jody, 21, and Greg Rogers, 27, from Glasgow in Scotland went public with the announcement that their son Jayden has begun transitioning into a girl.

The couple claimed that they were subjected to abuse since making the announcement and that they had also been reported to social services.

The couple denied claims they had encouraged the transition, with Greg Rogers telling the Daily Record, “We’ve had people saying we’re using Jayden for attention and that she just wants to be a girl because I changed sex…It’s ridiculous. Jayden knows nothing about my past. She just knows me as dad.”

According to the couple, Jayden is adamant he is a girl and loves dressing up as Princess Anna from the Disney film Frozen.

“They say it’s cruel we let her wear a dress but is it not more cruel to do nothing when you’ve got a kid who’s so adamant she’s a girl she’s ripping her hair off and banging her head off the walls?” said Rogers.

Earlier this year, it was revealed that five people working at Britain’s only NHS transgender clinic had quit after children as young as three were being through unnecessary gender reassignment treatment.

“Referrals to the clinic risen in recent years, with 94 in 2010, rising to 2,519 by last year, with the youngest patient aged just three,” reported the Daily Mail.

Delta to Show Gay Sex Scenes on Flights

Don't Shove Gay Sex Down My Throat

• One movie in particular shows a lesbian "scissoring sequence".
• I don't give a crap who screws who in the privacy of a bedroom, but Gay or Straight on public airplanes keep it in your pants and off the screen. 

(Newswars)  -  Delta Air Lines will now show two movies containing gay sex and other ‘homosexual content’ during in-flight viewings after pro-LGBT critics complained about the scenes being deleted.

The outcry targeting the in-flight versions of the movies “Rocketman” and “Booksmart” prompted the airline to issue a statement claiming it wants its entertainment to “reflect on the diversity of the world.”

“Studios often provide videos in two forms: a theatrical, original version and an edited version,” said a Delta spokesman. “We selected the edited version and now realize content well within our guidelines was unnecessarily excluded from both films.”

“We are working to make sure this doesn’t happen again.”

The controversy began after “Booksmart” director Olivia Wilde slammed the airline for removing a lesbian hookup scene she describes as a “scissoring sequence,” among other scenes.

During Wilde’s tweetstorm on the subject, she urged all airlines that value “inclusivity” to stop working with the “third party company” that greenlit the edited versions.

In accordance with Wilde’s suggestion, Delta ensured their “third party” editors are now aligned with “diversity and inclusion.”

“We value our inflight entertainment options as a means to reflect the diversity of the world,” said Delta. “We are reviewing the processes of our third-party editing vendors to ensure that they are aligned with our values of diversity and inclusion.”

Delta’s statements were also a response to an Entertainment Weekly editor calling out the airline for removing “almost every gay reference or scene” from the Elton John biopic “Rocketman,” including a “chaste kiss.”

Homeless Pooping in the Sacramento River

Floating Homeless Crap 

Leftists are turning the Golden State Brown

(Newswars)  -  A popular Sacramento river is contaminated with dangerous levels of E. coli bacteria due to human feces being introduced by vagrants, according to reports.

Testing conducted this summer by the Sacramento Bee revealed that the water is being tainted by hundreds of homeless living in camps that “line the banks” of the American River, which is having a negative effect on swimming, angling, and other recreational activities.

“Water samples reviewed by The Bee showed dangerous E. coli spikes this summer when swimmers were present at Tiscornia Beach, a popular summertime gathering spot where the American and Sacramento rivers converge north of downtown. There, a swirling effect from the currents causes any bacteria washing from upstream to linger,” the Bee reports.

“Thirteen out of 15 weekly water samples taken at the beach since June exceeded state and federal standards, records show. Those estimates determine when at least three out of every 100 swimmers would be expected to suffer ailments such as diarrhea from coming in contact with feces-fouled water.”

The Bee found that E. coli levels were as much as six times higher than the safety threshold during peak swimming season.

There are few public restrooms near the river, and officials reportedly refuse to add any more as they will likely be trashed or destroyed by vagrants, or used for drug abuse or prostitution.

“You don’t need a Ph.D. to say, ‘There’s somebody pooping in the river. Let’s put a bathroom out,’” Stanford University professor and water quality specialist Alexandria Boehm told the Bee, adding that she would not swim in the tainted river or allow a child into the water.

Sacramento County reportedly spent $50 million on ‘homeless services’ in 2018.

‘F**k That B*tch’ says Democrat Justin Fairfax at Sex Assault Accuser

This shit is better than most TV shows

Virginia’s Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax said “fuck that bitch” in reference to his accuser during a private meeting where he attempted to discredit her, according to NBC News.

Earlier this week, and thanks only to alternative media, we learned that Dr. Vanessa Tyson, a professor of politics at Scripps College in Claremont, California, told the Washington Post in late 2017 that Fairfax, a Democrat, forced her to perform oral sex on him in a hotel room during the 2004 Democrat National Convention. He denies any wrongdoing and says the sexual encounter was consensual.

The Washington Post chose not to report the story, even though Tyson’s account contained more details — like a time and place for the alleged encounter — than the story of Christine Blasey Ford, which the Post published without corroboration. But after Big League Politics broke it on Monday, both Fairfax and the Post were forced to address it.

What makes Fairfax’s fate so newsworthy is that he is next in line to replace Gov. Ralph Northam, who is currently embroiled in a blackface scandal (which Big League Politics broke last week). Northam, who is also a Democrat, is under withering pressure from within his own party to resign.

As far as the “fuck that bitch” comment, Fairfax released a statement admitting only to being “emotional” at that Monday meeting. He also asked that his accuser be treated with respect.

Man Bear Pig is Wrong - Greenhouse Gas Emissions Dropped Nearly 3% In Trump’s First Year

When President Trump pulled the U.S. out of the Paris Climate Accords, liberals went ape nuts. America, they said, had just signed the death decree of the world. Al Gore moved to the South Pole and built an igloo.

But a funny thing happened on the way to the end of the world. Instead of America causing irreversible global warming, harmful greenhouses gases that some scientists say causes climate change actually decreased during Trump’s first year in office, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reported.

The EPA report showed “overall decreases across sectors and that total U.S. greenhouse gas emissions reported decreased by 2.7 percent from 2016 to 2017.”

“Thanks to President Trump’s regulatory reform agenda, the economy is booming, energy production is surging, and we are reducing greenhouse gas emissions from major industrial sources,” said EPA acting administrator Andrew Wheeler. 

“These achievements flow largely from technological breakthroughs in the private sector, not the heavy hand of government. The Trump Administration has proven that federal regulations are not necessary to drive CO2 reductions. While many around the world are talking about reducing greenhouse gases, the U.S. continues to deliver, and today’s report is further evidence of our action-oriented approach.”

Starbucks to help cut off men's genitals

A World Gone Mad

The insane Left is mad with desire to cut off men's genitals

(The Hill)  -  Starbucks announced Monday that it will expand health benefits for transgender employees, including covering surgeries that were previously considered cosmetic.

The company has covered gender reassignment surgery since 2012, but will now cover services like breast reduction or augmentation, hair transplants, voice therapy and facial feminization surgery.

Starbucks partnered with the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) to create the new benefits. A WPATH official said that Starbucks is the first company to do so.

“The approach was driven not just by the company’s desire to provide truly inclusive coverage, and by powerful conversations with transgender partners about how those benefits would allow them to truly be who they are,” said Ron Crawford, vice president of benefits at Starbucks, in a statement.

130 square foot dorms for Silicon Valley workers

Packing workers in like sardines

San Francisco is trying to solve the housing crisis for its shriveling middle class by moving them into micro-apartments rebranded as fun-loving dormitories.

The concept of jamming tech workers into micro-apartment and group dorms has been common in China’s coastal manufacturing communities for decades. The 2013 China Labor Watch report regarding Pegatron Group factories, which supplied iPhones and iPads, caused Apple massive embarrassment and forced Silicon Valley to adopt standards for Chinese worker dorms.

But today, one of Silicon Valley’s hottest start-ups is San Francisco’s Starcity Development, which is acquiring and repurposing derelict commercial buildings to serve as “dorms for grown-ups.” The goal is to attract professionals  who cannot afford the city’s average $3,405 per month rent for a 1-bedroom apartment, despite annual earnings of $50-$100,000 a year.

Each of the company’s first three projects — located at 229 Ellis St. in the Tenderloin; 650 Sacramento St. in the Financial District; and 1028 Kearny St. in North Beach — feature about 20 fully-furnished units with 130 to 220 square feet of living space. 

Amenities include group bathrooms, common eating areas, and shared assembly spaces. With $1,400 to $2,400 rents that include free utilities and Wi-Fi, Starcity claims its backlog is over 8,000 renters.
