Email: “Who Owns Your Life – You or the State?” (25.6.2026)

The reality seems to be that as individuals we are the owners of our own existences. It is very difficult for the State to prevent the exercising of free-will in this instance. What is te point of charging a corps with a crime? In some countries, like Switzerland, people who are both “ill” and “rich” can access the voluntary dying system. This sees two doctors (or more) having to agree, social workers (having to agree) – and police officers present to support the rights of the patient. The right to “stop” exists right up to the ingestion of the State-administered drugs. I know this because a) I have read through the procedure, and b) YouTube used to host entire videos of the procedure. In one version, a billionaire walked into a lawyer’s office with his solicitor, sat on a comfy sofa and after a few minutes discussing and signing – ingested the drugs. He passed within seconds sat on the sofa – as if asleep. Of course, for minors (that is children aged beneath the age of consent within a certain country) – the decision will involve the parents, doctors, and other practitioners. I neither agree or disagree – but I do know that some human diseases are terrible to experience – particularly in the young.

England: Worker “Steve McCulloch” Ends 52-Years Commutting on Same Train-Route! (12.5.2026)

Over the years he’s collected snapshots of his journey – and he’s certainly had some memorable moments.

“In the days of slam-doors stock I was sitting at the end of the train at Slough and we moved away and somebody came running up the side and through the door and tried to climb in but stumbled. I had to grab them and pull them in,” he said.

Train travel has changed significantly since the 1970s with more electrification, the introduction of high speed trains, and digital signalling.

Mian Sarwar, the Station Manager for GWR, Slough and Maidenhead area, said: “Steve’s been travelling with us for over 50 years and to acknowledge his travelling and his loyalty with us, it was important to acknowledge him and mark this occasion very well. ”

Steve says he has plans for his retirement. He wants to travel further and has been invited to go to India, but he also hopes to explore the UK more… by train of course.

AI can guess racial categories from heart scans – what it means and why it matters

UK: How “AI” Imports “Racism” into Medical Heart Scans! (10.1.2026)

In the heart scan study, researchers found that the AI model wasn’t actually focusing on the heart itself, where there were few visible differences linked to racial categories. Instead, it drew information from areas outside the heart, such as subcutaneous fat as well as image artefacts – unwanted distortions like motion blur, noise, or compression that can degrade image quality. These artefacts often come from the scanner and can influence how the AI interprets the scan.

Space Boulder "Not Gold" - According to Experts!

Australia: Penal Colony Descendent “Digs Himself in Deep Hole” – Korean War Gold Rock Revealed as Worthless Space Debris! (29.11.2025)

A rock the size of a stout Jack Russell (a breed of dog in the UK – small, fierce, brave, loyal, and strong) – but weighing more or less the same as a Great Dane (another – but huge – breed of dog) – was mistaken by an Aussie as a “gold nugget”. Perhaps it’s not the rock that needs testing! Still, all he has been left with is a piece of worthless space debris that landed on Earth during 1951 (in June – the time of the Aussie Winter) – which turns-out to be the same age as the Earth is old – namely “4.6 million” years old!. I am reliably told by a medical colleague that Aussies are only “technically sober” during the first three months of their lives – when the motor-skills have not yet developed to lift the hand to the mouth. Gold is a lightweight and malleable mettle, which is rare, soft, and highly pliable. This meteorite, by way of comparison, is heavy, hard, and requires a Ford Cortina just to move it any significant distance.

Homo Lomgi - Chinese Ancestor!

China: New [Evolutionary] Finding May Rewrite Human Family Tree! (26.9.2025)

The reanalysis further pushes back the divergence time of modern humans — Homo sapiens — whose ancestors are estimated to have lived in Africa around 500,000 years ago, Neanderthals, who lived between 24,000 and 130,000 years ago in Europe, and Homo longi, a species closely related to Denisovans, who thrived from 30,000 to 285,000 years ago across Asia and are the cousins of Neanderthals.
