Several species of fish are claimed to produce hallucinogenic effects when consumed,
a condition known as ichthyoallyeinotoxism.
For example, Sarpa salpa, a species of sea bream referred to as the "dream-fish", is commonly claimed to be hallucinogenic.
These widely distributed coastal fish are normally found in the Mediterranean and around the Iberian Peninsula,
west to the Azores and along the west and south coasts of Africa.
Occasionally they are fo…

One important story that I feel got lost during the end of 2025 is how white-presenting "18-year old" female "AI" companions are cosplayed by 30-year old fathers in Kenyan slums. At a huge cost to their mental health.
"My sole responsibility was to keep the conversation going, no matter what it did to me."
"The challenge went beyond just switching genders; I also had to perform across different sexual identities. Sometimes I was a straight wo…

Good Morning #Canada
B.C. is full of hipsters, Alberta is oil obsessed, Ontario has a superiority complex, PEI prays to potatoes, and all Newfies drink Screech at breakfast. Every Province and Territory is known for their unique habits, culture, and views of the world. And we all hold expectations and misconceptions of our neighbours across internal borders. Hey, it's a long winter and we need some gossip to get us to the end of it.
The attached video provides a detailed rundown of stereotypes for each Province and Territory, and some of the content is accurate, like Toronto being the centre of the universe. It's a bit long but you can select a chapter to check out your Province, or one that you dislike. My favourite is Albertans pouring oil on their cereal.

On February 1, 1960, four Black freshmen from the Agricultural and Technical College of North Carolina,
(today known as North Carolina A&T State University),
sat down at the segregated lunch counter at the Woolworth’s in downtown Greensboro and asked to be served.
When staff refused to serve them, they refused to leave.
These four students,
now known as the Greensboro Four,
included Ezell Blair Jr. (who later changed his name to Jibreel Khazan),

"What's been happening in Minneapolis has been so egregious and awful and so destructive to our community,"
shop owner Gilah Mashaal said of federal agents' use of aggressive tactics.
It was obvious to her and Neary how the shop would protest.
They pulled out their knitting needles and got to work.
Neary created the pattern that has now become the well-known
"Melt the ICE" hat,
a red beanie-shaped cap topped with a braided tassel.…

The Trump administration has said it will issue nearly 65,000 additional H-2B guest worker visas through September,
-- effectively doubling the maximum number that can be issued in a year.
Trump has broadly moved to drastically cut legal avenues of immigration, and he has directed a mass deportation campaign that has brought aggressive ICE crackdowns to American cities.
Another visa for skilled workers through another program, known as the H-1B, has been imperiled by the …
