It Could Just Be True!

UK: The Red Menace Makes It Through Another Year! (30.5.2026)

My birthday is just two-days after that of my late father. The allegation in the above text could well be true. Fight everything, question everything, and accept nothing. It is a good start. I remember as a kid working it out for myself that the supposedly left-wing comic – Alexi Sayle – was in fact a traitor to the cause when he decided to endorse capitalist advertisement! Later, I further realised that if you do not conform somewhere, then the system you oppose will permanently exclude you. The net permitted a certain re-balancing – but just look at how the capitalists have colonised it and turned everything into mindless adverts and paywalls. Keep you powder dry and tinder in good order. It is all about timing – and getting away with it. This is a small envelop of opportunity – so use it well. Meanwhile, my deceased father is lying in state – and what an awful state of Care Home, NHS, and Social Services neglect it is. Untreated ailments, sores, injuries – and so on.

The Neanderthal dentist who worked on the 59,000-year-old molar had some experience treating cavities.

Russia: Neanderthals Practiced Dentistry – Infected Teeth Drilled 59,000 Years Ago! (17.5.2026)

Neanderthals were highly creative and resourceful. Living throughout Europe and Asia between 400,000 and 40,000 years ago, they made art, intentionally started fires, took care of their sick and injured peers, created a sticky, multipurpose resin and extracted high-calorie grease from animal bones, to name just a few accomplishments.

Now, new research suggests they may also have dabbled in dentistry. Scientists have discovered a 59,000-year-old Neanderthal molar that appears to have been deliberately drilled to treat a cavity, they report in a new paper published in the journal PLOS One.

The discovery pushes back the earliest evidence of dental work by roughly 45,000 years and adds to the growing body of research that Neanderthals were intelligent, capable hominins.
